■ MODEL NO.

Check that model No. described on specification label is

exactly what you ordered.

■ INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This manual describes necessary points of caution when you

use this product, including installation, connection and basic

maintenance procedures. For more details, refer to the users

manual included in the CD-ROM.

POINTS OF CAUTION

This product is not designed for use in classified locations.

DO NOT use this product in explosive atmosphere.

■ POWER INPUT

• Power input rating & operational range: Check the power

rating for the unit on the specification label.

Rating 24V DC: 24V ±20%, max. 50W

• Supplying any level of power other than specified above can

damage the 75ET or the power source.

• The power cables and the signal I/O cables for the 75ET

must be located separately.

• The main circuit cables (high voltage and high current), the

signal I/O cables, and the power cables should not be bundled

together or placed near each other.

• To increase noise resistance of the power input wires, twist

the strands before connecting.

■ SAFETY PRECAUTION

• Before you remove the module, turn off the power supply

and input signal for safety.

• Do not use the 75ET in an environment where flammable

gases are present. This may result in an explosion.

• Do not disassemble or modify the 75ET in any way. Doing

so may result in a fire or an electrical shock.

• Do not strike the panel of the 75ET with a hard, heavy or

pointed object, or press the panel with excessive force. Doing

so may result in panel damage or injury.

• Do not block the 75ET's ventilation openings or use it in

areas where heat accumulates. Additionally, do not store or

use it under high-temperature conditions.

• Do not store or use the 75ET in locations subject to direct

sunlight, or where excessive dust or dirt is present.

• The 75ET is a precision instrument. Do not store or use it

where large shocks or excessive vibration can occur.

• Do not store or use the 75ET in environments subject to

chemical evaporation (such as that of organic solvents), or

where there are chemicals and/or acids present in the air.

• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the

75ET.

• Do not turn off the power supply to the 75ET during

recording. The CF Card may be destroyed.

■ ENVIRONMENT

• Indoor use

• Standard installation for the 75ET is in a vertical panel. If

the 75ET is to be installed in a slanted panel, the panel should

not incline more than 30 degrees from the vertical.

• Environmental temperature must be within 0 to 50°C (32

to 122°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 85% RH in order

to ensure adequate life span and operation.

■ LCD PANEL

• The LCD panel’s liquid contains an irritant. If the panel is

damaged and the liquid contacts your skin, rinse immedi-

ately the contact area with running water for at least 15

minutes. If the liquid gets in your eyes, rinse immediately

your eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes and

consult a doctor.

• The following phenomena are LCD characteristics, and

NOT a product defect:

- LCD screen may show uneven brightness depending

upon displayed images or contrast settings.

- The LCD screen pixels may contain minute blank-and-

white-colored spots.

- The color displayed on the LCD screen may appear

different when seen from outside the specified viewing

angle.

- When the same image is displayed on the screen for a

long time period, an afterimage may appear when the

image is changed. If this happens, turn off the 75ET and

wait 10 seconds before restarting it.

• To prevent an afterimage:

- Set the screensaver when you plan to display the same

image for a long time period.

- Plan to change the screen image periodically so that the

same image does not remain for the long time period.

7xETBLD USERS MANUAL EM-7353-0003C

2.4 SETTING ON THE 7xETBLD

2.4.1 COMMUNICATION SETTING

DEMO: You can run the 7xET program without actual signal input for learning, evaluation and demonstra-

tion when you choose DEMO.

RxM: Choose this option when you connect R1M/R2M via Modbus RTU.

IP address: Enter 7xET’s static IP address. 192.168.0.1 entered in the field upon the first startup is M-Sys-

tem’s ex-factory setting.

2.4.2 STORING RATE

Choose among 0.5 sec., 1 sec., 2 sec., 5 sec., 10 sec., 1 min., and 10 min.

2.4.3 DATA STORING METHOD

There are four (4) storing modes as explained below:

No storing: Sampled data are plotted on the screen but no recording is executed.

Normal: Recording is manually initiated and stopped. Data is continuously stored while the recording is on.

Trigger (A): Remote trigger. Data is automatically recorded while the external trigger condition (input) is true.

Trigger (B): Event Recording. The 7xET detects an external event by trigger signal, and stores preset number

of samples before and after the moment of event.

Auto: Recording is automatically initiated and stopped at a predefined time.

Trigger (A), remote trigger mode setting

Remote trigger mode is applicable only to the R1M or R2M series I/O modules.

Data is automatically recorded while the external trigger condition (input) is true.

Condition: Specify whether the recorder should identify On or Off of the contact signal as trigger condi-

tion. For example, when the Condition is set to On, the 7xET stores data while the signal is On

and stops recording when it is turned to Off.

Node Number: Specify which R1M/R2M device connected to the 7xET is used to trigger. Enter numbers and

alphabets on the alphanumeric keypad which opens by pressing the current selection.

Trigger (B), event recording mode setting

Event recording mode is applicable only to the R1M or R2M series I/O modules.

Recording is automatically initiated according to predetermined trigger conditions and preset number of samples

before and after the moment of event are stored.

Rise or Sink: Specify whether the recorder should identify a rise or sink of the contact signal as trigger.

Node number: Specify which R1M/R2M device connected to the PC is used to trigger.

Pretrigger / Posttrigger: 1200 samples at the maximum for each can be stored. Specify numbers of samples to

be stored before (Pretrigger) and after (Posttrigger) the event respectively.

Pretrigger recording is applicable only when the storing rate is set to 0.5 or 1 sec.

Auto store setting

Either ‘One time only’ or ‘Every day’ option can be selected.

When you choose ‘One time only’ option, data is stored once at a predefined time. With ‘Every day’ option, the 7xET

runs recording once per day at a predefined time.

Specify time and duration of a recording cycle, including a date for ‘One time only’ recording. For ‘Every day’

recording, you do not need to specify ‘Year,’ ‘Month’ or ‘Day.’

2.4.4 START MODE

Cold Start: At a restart, the 7xET stands by showing the initial view.

Hot Start: At a restart, the 7xET automatically starts recording.

2.4.5 TEMPERATURE UNIT

Choose either °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit).

7

7xETBLD USERS MANUAL EM-7353-0003C

2.4.6 DATA STORING FORM

Float (floating point): Selected when you need to store data including decimal fractions. The 4-byte-long

data is better in data precision but the total storable time in the CF Card becomes

shorter compared from Short Int.

Short int (short integer): Integer data with hypothetical fixed decimal point. The 2-byte-long data is not as pre-

cise (one decimal place) as Float type is, but the total storable time in the CF Card is

longer.

2.4.7 DIGITAL DISPLAY METHOD

Tag name + Value: The momentary value and the tag name of the data plotted on the screen.

Tag name: The tag name of the data plotted on the screen.

Value: The momentary value of the data plotted on the screen.

2.4.8 DISPLAY RATE

Choose between 0.5 sec. and 2 sec.

2.4.9 CHART SPEED

Choose among High, Middle, Low and Very Low.

When you choose 0.5 sec. for the storing rate and/or the display rate, only High speed is selectable.

2.4.10 DIGITAL DISPLAY

Specify either to show or hide the digital display on the Record view. With ‘Horizontal’ graph direction, only ‘Regular’

can be specified.

Auto Hide: Digital display is automatically hidden in 30 seconds after it appears on the screen. Click the area

of the display to call it up.

Regular: Digital display remains on the screen.

2.4.11 GRAPH

Specify the plotting direction, Perpendicular or Horizontal.

2.4.12 DATA FILE USED VOLUME
