Chapter 1 Installation and Wiring

- Accura 2300[S] indicates Accura 2300 or Accura 2300S.

- DCM module is a shorthand notation for Accura 2350-DCM module.

You can connect the DCM module to Accura 2300[S] with a communication line, check the measurement

data of the DCM module, and perform device setup on the LCD screen of Accura 2300[S]. Accura 2300

and Accura 2300S have no functional differences in their operation with the DCM module. However, the

sequence of their LCD screens and display segments are slightly different.

Accura 2350-DCM-500V module can only operate with Accura 2300[S] via a communication line (linked

operation). However, Accura 2350-DCM-50V module can operate with Accura 2300[S] and can also

operate alone(stand-alone operation).

Power Supply Connection

The DCM module measures the voltage between the +/- bus bars and the current that flows through

the + bus bar. It is possible to use both + and - bus bars and only the + bus bar when making

connections to the power source and the load.

Fig 1.7 Power Supply Connection

Accura 2350-DCM User Guide

Chapter 1 Installation and Wiring

Page 13

Communication Cable Connection

To operate the DCM module with Accura 2300[S], connect the RJ12 communication line cable to the

RJ12A and RJ12B ports. The DCM module receives control power through the communication line cable.

When Accura 2350-DCM-50V module operates alone, it receives control power via the DC voltage

busbar.

Fig 1.8 Communication Cable Connection

Note

The power consumption of Accura 2350-DCM module is three times that of Accura 2350-3P power

measuring module. Therefore, the number of Accura 2350-DCM modules that can be connected to

Accura 2300 or Accura 2300S is limited to 10, 5 modules each connected to the RJ12-1 or RJ12-2 port.

3. The minimum DC voltage for the stand-alone operation of the DCM-50V module is 12V.

4. The measured value below the configured minimum measured value is regarded as zero.

5. Measured current values may involve errors as the temperature changes based on the calibration temperature.

6. An Over voltage/current event occurs when the measured value rises above the threshold and is maintained during

the set delay time.

7. An Under voltage/current event occurs when the measured value is above the threshold 2 value but is below the

threshold 1 value, and the value is maintained during the set delay time.

Sampling

Voltage and current signals are sampled every 1ms to get voltage and current data.

Data Aggregated for 20 Milliseconds

Voltage and current data are generated by dividing the data obtained every 20 ms with the

measurement resolution of 1 ms by the number of data samples. Users can set up the number of data

samples with numbers ranging from 1 to 32. The default setting is 20. Over/Under voltage and current

events are detected with the data generated every 20 ms.

The event block for a channel is shown in Figure 2.4 and the DCM module supports five-channel event

blocks.

Select voltage or current as an input signal, and select Over or Under as an event type. Voltage/Current

data to be monitored are data generated by dividing the data obtained every 20 ms with the

measurement resolution of 1 ms by the number of data samples. An event is divided into a start event

and an end event. Detailed descriptions of events are shown in the table below.

signal

Choose voltage or current.

Start level

Configures the threshold 1 level for detection of the start of an event

Residual level

The threshold 2 level is available only for detection of Under event. An Under event occurs when

the measured value is above the threshold 2 value but is below the threshold 1 value, and the

value is maintained during the set delay time.

Hysteresis

If the measured value frequently rises above or falls below the threshold value, many events may

occur. Therefore, it is necessary to set a proper hysteresis value for effective event management.

Setting the hysteresis value is not supported on the LCD screen of the DCM module. It is

possible to set the value only via communication. The default value is 2%.

End level

In case of Over event, the end level is determined by subtracting the hysteresis from the

threshold 1 value. In case of Under event, the end level is determined by adding the hysteresis to

the threshold 1 value.

Time delay

When the measured value rises above the threshold value, and the set delay time elapses, a start

event occurs. If the measured value exceeds the threshold value but is not maintained during the

set delay time, a start event does not occur.

DO operation

When a start event occurs, a command can be issued to a DO channel, and the feature can be

set to Disable/Enable.

Start event

When the measured value rises above the threshold value, and the set delay time elapses, a start

event occurs. The start event occurs again after an event ends and the measured value exceeds

the threshold value again. When a start event occurs, the event LED blinks. If DO channels are

configured to operate when an event occurs, commands are issued to the DO channels.

End event

An end event occurs when the measured value falls back to the threshold value set for detection

of an end event after a start event occurs. monitoring signal is recovered within the end level

with the start event occurring,. The event LED is not turned off only when users press the SET

button. If DO channels are configured to operate when an event occurs, users can reset DOs with

the SET button.

Generation of Event Alarms

Event alarms are provided to notify users of the occurrence of events. When an event occurs, the event

LED and the LCD screen indicating event data blink. Alarms can also be generated via DO contacts.

Alarm settings can be configured for each DO channel, and the setting is disabled by default.

Clearing Event Alarm

If the user long presses the SET button, an event alarm is cleared. When the event alarm is cleared, the

screen returns to the display mode, the event LED turns off, and the linked digital output contact is also

cleared.

Note

To clear the event alarm, press EVENT button on Accura 2300[S]. If you confirm the event log with

EVENT button of Accura 2300[S], event alarm of Accura 2300[S] and event alarm of DCM module are

also cleared. However, releasing the event alarm with the SET button of DCM module clears only the

event alarm of DCM module, but does not clear the event alarm of Accra 2300[S].

Auto Clearing Event Alarms

The auto clear function of event alarms is disabled by default and can be set with numbers indicating

the minute from 1 to 999 minutes. After an event alarm occurs and the auto clear time elapses, the

alarm is automatically cleared.
