Red Lion Controls PAXTM010 PAX DC TIMER

Description

The PAXTM (PAX Timer) offers many features and performance capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. It can function as an Elapsed Timer or Preset Timer. The Plug-in option cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for the present application, while providing easy upgrades for future needs.

Both units can function as an Elapsed Time Indicator. By using two separate signal inputs and 23 selectable timer ranges, the meters can be programmed to meet most any timing application. With the addition of a Plug-in Setpoint card, they can easily become a dual or quad output preset timer.

The meters accept inputs from a variety of sources including switch contacts and outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits. The input can be configured to trigger on the edge or level of the incoming pulse. Internal jumpers are available to allow the selection for sinking inputs (active low) or sourcing inputs (active high).

The front panel keys and three user inputs are programmable to perform various meter functions. One of the functions includes exchanging parameter lists, allowing for two separate listings of setpoint values, timer start/stop values, counter start/stop values and RTC daily on and off values.

The meters can have up to four setpoint outputs, determined by the optional plug-in cards. The setpoint plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5A), quad FORM-A relays (3A) or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic outputs. The outputs can be assigned to the timer, counter, RTC date, and RTC time. The outputs can also be independently configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements.

Plug-in cards can also provide serial communications. These include RS232, RS485, Modbus, DeviceNet, and Profibus-DP. Display values, setpoint alarm values and setpoint states can be controlled through serial communications. With the RS232 or RS485 communication card installed, it is possible to configure the meter using a Windows based program. The meter configuration data can be saved to a file for later recall.

Once the meters have been initially configured, the parameter list may be locked out from further modification entirely, or the setpoint, timer start/stop values, counter start/stop values, RTC time SET, and Display Intensity can be made accessible. This lockout is possible through a security code or user input.

The meters have been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments. With a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing to meet CE requirements, the meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution.
