Measurement discharge cycle  
 
Warning :  
The PLC function must be selected in the configuration menu (line INTERFACE : PLC). 
 
To take the control of the unit, you must be on the initialization screen.  
If not, you will have the DIALOG ERROR : <2> message displayed. 
Note : For DXS models in sequence mode, the control is taken from the measurement screen of 
the first sequence function. 
 
To do a measurement : 
 
  CTRLIN must be on high logical state, 
 
  For the DXS models, the programmable logic controller must select a measurement function 
(Megohmmeter or dielectric strength test). For the other models it is advised to let the TYPE 
line not connected. 
 
  The programmable logic controller has to select a number of parameters which will be binary 
coded with N0 to N3 bits (N0 is the least significant bit and N3 is the mot significant bit). 
 
  To enter in measurement mode, a rising edge must be put on the MES_DCH line. The high 
logical state must be set all during the measurement. Input states (CTRLIN, TYPE, N0, N1, 
N2 et N3 ) are enabled only on a rising edge of MES_DCH.  
 
  Then the unit will do a measurement or, if parameters aren't correct, will give an error. The 
CTRLOUT signal will appear at the first measurement and stay until a low logical state is set on 
the  CTRLIN.  During  measurement,  the  unit  will  send  various  signals  according  to  the  test 
running and the selected parameters. Those parameters can be an error signal (ERROR), an 
end of test signal (EOT), or a signal showing the test result (PASS or FAIL). Those signals are 
active on a high logical state. 
 
  For the SXS models, the PLC function starts only a sequence.  
 
  For the DXS models the PLC function starts a measurement function or a sequence. 
 
To force the unit to go in the discharge state, the programmable logic controller must set a low 
logical state on the MES_DCH input. 
To reset the unit to the local mode, the programmable logic controller can reset the CTRLIN signal 
to release the CTRLOUT, then set the MES_DCH and reset it.( see diagram n°1)
