1.1 Control Module
The DS600 control module, being sealed, offers flexibility in mounting. Once installed, the
system can be quickly and easily brought on-line. Calibration is achieved through the simple
press of a push-button switch on the front panel or a remote contact closure connected to the
CAL terminal. System status and faults are reported on a four digit numeric display and are
signaled through the FAULT output that may be connected to a PLC or system controller.
The DS600 control module comes in three variations which differ in available features. The
three variations are designated DS600 (basic), DS600P, and DS600PC. All variants share a
common footprint and utilize the P80T30 probe. All models offer the following features:
• Sealed polycarbonate enclosure
• Four digit digital display
• LED indicator for ACCEPT
• LED indicator for REJECT
• User selection of the gauging mode, single/double or part present
• User selection of the response to a no-metal condition, REJECT or ACCEPT
• Front panel pushbutton switch to invoke calibration and parameter adjustment
• Isolated sinking or sourcing logic inputs, CAL and RESET
• Remote initiation of calibration through the CAL input
• Remote reset of the latched REJECT output through the RESET input
• Isolated sinking or sourcing logic outputs, ACCEPT, REJECT, FAULT and AUX
• One and two point thickness calibration
• At least one non-volatile calibration memory
• Single/Double gauging tolerance parameter HtoL, adjustable through the front panel
• Part present gauging tolerance parameter toL, adjustable through the front panel
The DS600P control module offers these additional features:
• “Under” condition sensing with tolerance set through parameter Ltol
• Delay of under condition reporting through delay parameter Udly
• Up to eight non-volatile calibration memories
• Selection of up to 8 calibration memories through the front panel parameter SEL (1-8)
• Logic inputs SEL0, SEL1, SEL2, and ENABLE for selection of the calibration memory
from a remote switch or controller
The DS600PC control module offers these added features:
• Up to 64 non-volatile calibration memories
• Selection of up to 64 calibration memories through the front panel parameter SEL (1-64)
• Selection of the first eight calibration memories through terminals SEL0, SEL1, SEL2
and ENABLE
• Modbus communications through an M12 connector providing access to:
o The DIP switch settings
o 64 calibration memories, select and read-back
o The gauging signal value
o The four digit display information as text
