1.2 The IQ SENSOR NET system184 XT

1.2.1 Structure of the system

The IQ SENSOR NET is a modular measuring system for online analysis.

Modular means that the essential functional units of the measuring
system are distributed in components that can be individually compiled
for special applications.

The essential functional units of the IQ SENSOR NET system 184 XT

include:
! Terminal/controller
! IQ sensors
! Inputs (current inputs)
! Outputs (relay contacts, current outputs, valve outputs)
! Additional terminals (mobile terminals, software terminal)
! Help functions (e.g. power supply unit).

System communication The functional units are connected with one another via a common line
(Fig. 1-2). The line consists of two wires and a shield. It transports
digital information between the controller and the other modules. At the
same time, the line is used to supply all modules with electrical voltage
from a power supply unit. The power supply unit is only required for the
power supply and is not used in the system communication.

1.2.4 Components of the system 184 XT

Minimum configuration The following basic components are required for a 184 XT system:
(basic components) ! An MIQ/C184 XT terminal/controller
! A power supply module (e.g. MIQ/PS)
! At least one IQ sensor.

IQ sensors, main and Sensors provide main measured values (e.g. pH, D. O. concentration,
secondary measured turbidity value...) and additionally, depending on the type, secondary
values measured values (e.g. temperature). In the System 184 XT, digital
WTW single sensors and double sensors can be used:
! Single sensors provide a main measured value and normally a
secondary measured value (example: TriOxmatic 700 IQ → D. O. +
temperature).
! All active 0/4-20 mA inputs of the MIQ/IC2 input module rank among
the single sensors. Via a 0/4-20 mA input, any external instruments
can be connected to the IQ SENSOR NET via their current output.
Each input provides a main measured value.
! Double sensors provide up to two main measured values and
normally a secondary measured value (example: VARiON 700 IQ
→ ammonium + nitrate + temperature).

Each main measured value occupies a sensor location in the

IQ SENSOR NET. A double sensor with two active main measured
values thus occupies two sensor locations. The available sensor
locations can be occupied by any single or double sensors.

Extension components The system can be adapted to fulfill different specifications by adding
further components, e.g. by:
! Terminals. They are the operation and communication units for the
IQ SENSOR NET. Available are:
– MIQ/T2020 mobile terminals for operating the system from
various measurement locations, e.g. for the calibration of IQ
sensors on site
– MIQ/T2020 PLUS mobile terminals. Like MIQ/T2020 but with
additional redundant controller function. It maintains all essential
operational functions in the case of a controller malfunction.
– MIQ/T2020 PC software terminals. The connection to the PC can
be established via the interface module MIQ/IF232 and the
RS 232 interface on the PC .
! Output modules with relay, current and valve outputs. Valve outputs
enable the time controlled, compressed air operated cleaning of the
sensor.

ba75436e05 07/2007 1-5

Overview System 184 XT

Each current output, relay output and valve output occupies an

output channel in the IQ SENSOR NET. The available output
channels can be assigned to outputs arbitrarily.

! Power supply modules for power supply

! MIQ/JB and MIQ/JBR branching modules to branch the system and
to connect IQ sensors and terminals
! MIQ/Blue PS radio modules for wireless connection within the
IQ SENSOR NET.

Connecting There are two basic mounting variants for connecting the
MIQ modules MIQ modules:
! Stack mounting - permanent mechanical and electrical connection.
The housings of the MIQ modules are permanently mounted on one
another to form a stack. No cabling is necessary.
! Distributed mounting - electrical connection via cable.
Locally separated MIQ modules or module stacks are connected
with one another via the SNCIQ or SNCIQ/UG cable.

IQ sensors Up to 12 IQ sensors of any type can be used in the 184 XT system.

They can be connected to any MIQ module that has a free connection
for the IQ SENSOR NET. The connection between the IQ sensor and
MIQ module is made via the SACIQ sensor connection cable. The
IQ sensor connection cable is connected with the plug head connector
of the IQ sensor via a screwable socket to form a watertight connection.
As a result, the IQ sensor can be quickly removed for maintenance
activities and then connected again.

System 184 XT Overview

Common characteristics ! Module lid with hinge

of the MIQ modules Due to its wide opening angle, the lid provides a large space for
working inside the module (e.g. for connecting lines to the terminal
strip).
! Docking facility
MIQ modules can be mechanically docked onto one another. As a
result, several MIQ modules can be mounted in the form of a stack
to create a single unit (stack mounting). At the same time, docking
enables the MIQ modules to be electrically connected with one
another via the module contacts on the front and back so that no
cabling is required. Even when it is part of a stack, each MIQ module
can be opened. In addition, a terminal component can be docked
onto each free lid front.
! Terminal strip
Further IQ SENSOR NET components can be connected by cable to
the terminal strip inside the housing (distributed mounting). The
terminal strip enables IQ sensors to be connected via the SACIQ
sensor connection cable or the IQ SENSOR NET can be further
branched and extended here. Certain MIQ modules have a terminal
strip with further specific connections (e.g. power connection, relay
contacts, current outputs).
! Local identity function
The local identity function is integrated in each MIQ module in the
form of a memory chip. This memory chip can store information such
as the designation of the measurement location and a specific
selection of IQ sensors for the measured value display. This
information is output when a terminal is docked and, thus, e.g.
enables the rapid finding of local IQ sensors for calibration.
! Voltage diagnosis via LEDs
Two LEDs, yellow and red, on the side of the housing are used to
monitor the operational voltage of each MIQ module.

1.2.6 Terminal/Controller MIQ/C184 XT

The MIQ/C184 XT terminal/controller combines the functions of both

controller and terminal. It is a basic component of the 184 XT system
and must, therefore, always be present in the system. The terminal/
controller is connected with the system by docking on the free lid front
of an MIQ module.

The controller function takes over the following tasks:

! Control and monitoring of all IQ sensors
! Control and monitoring of all current and relay outputs
! Continuous diagnosis of the system, i.e. recording the information
and error messages of all modules and entering them in the system
log book (e.g.: voltage monitoring)
! Recording measured data in the fixed interval

The terminal function is the graphical user interface of the system. It

is used for the following purposes:
! Display of measured values
! Display of calibration data
! Display of components lists (IQ sensors and outputs)
! Display of the log book entries
! Setting of IQ sensors, outputs, terminal characteristics, date, time,
etc.

1.2.7 Behavior of the IQ SENSOR NET in case of power failure

! The system configuration (Settings of sensors and diff. sensors and

Settings of outputs and links) is stored permanently
! All stored measured data remain permanently available
! Linked current outputs and relay outputs switch to the non-active
condition.
Current output: 0 mA current
Relay output: Relays open
For details, refer to the component operating manual of the current
or relay output module.
! When the power supply is available again, the system is
automatically restarted, starts working again and switches to the
measured value display
! During the restart, an entry informing of the power failure is made in
the log book.

1.2.8 Behavior of the IQ SENSOR NET if a components fails

! If the operating voltage is too low, the LEDs on the MIQ modules
extinguish.
! If active components (e.g. sensors or output modules) cannot be
contacted, an entry is made in the log book. The error symbol
flashes on the display.
! The Edit list of sensors or Edit list of outputs display shows a
question mark "?" for the component.

1.2.9 Availability of the system

As a basic principle, the IQ SENSOR NET offers a very high availability.

This is achieved by
! The two-wire connection technique that is not interference-prone
! The digital signal transmission resulting from this
! Tools for error diagnosis
– LEDs on the MIQ modules to check the available voltage
– Log book messages with instructions to eliminate problems
! The possibility to simply assign substitute components for
components to be exchanged.
Replacing components is simple and can be performed very quickly
(see section 7.4). The system configuration (Settings of sensors and
diff. sensors and Settings of outputs and links) and the measured
data are stored in the controller and remain stored when other
components are used.

Preventive actions to If the requirements of the availability are especially high, you can
optimize the availability further improve the availability of the system as follows:
of the system ! Install identical components in the system.
If the requirements of the availability are high, components can be
installed doubly in the system (exception: controller component).
! Guarantee the controller functioning with the aid of the MIQ/
T2020 PLUS.
The MIQ/T2020 PLUS has a redundant controller function. It
maintains all essential functions of the system in the case of a
controller malfunction and saves all settings. The controller
operation starts automatically.
! Keep substitute components ready.
The system automatically recognizes substitute components of
active components (IQ sensors and the output modules). They are
easily integrated in the system by assigning them as substitute
components.
! Save the system configuration.
The system configuration (Settings of sensors and diff. sensors and
Settings of outputs and links) can be saved on a PC. The data is
transmitted via the MIQ/IF232 interface module. The stored system
configuration can be loaded from the PC on a substitute controller
that might be necessary.

3.4 Basic requirements for optimum installation

3.4.1 General information

The IQ SENSOR NET supplies all components with low voltage as well
as digital communication via a shielded 2-wire line.
Due to this characteristic, the following factors must be taken into
account in the planning of an IQ SENSOR NET system:
! Power consumption of all components (power rating). Primarily, this
determines the number of power supply modules required
(section 3.4.2).
! Distance of the components from one another. Large distances may
require a further MIQ/PS power supply module and/or an MIQ/JBR
signal amplifier module (section 3.4.3).
! Placement of the MIQ/PS power supply modules in the
IQ SENSOR NET (effect on the power supply - section 3.4.3).

Caution
Only IQ SENSOR NET products may be used in the IQ SENSOR NET.

3.4.2 Drawing up the power rating

Power rating - why? All components in the system require a specific level of electrical power
for operation. Thus, it is necessary to draw up a power rating after
selecting all the components. At the same time, this can determine
whether the entire power requirement of all components (consumers)
is covered by the existing MIQ power supply modules. If this is not the
case, the power available in the system must be increased by further
MIQ power supply modules.

Note
The power rating provides an initial guide value. In specific limiting
cases, the power supply may be insufficient despite the positive power
rating. Long cable lines, for example, result in additional power losses
that may have to be compensated by further MIQ power supply
modules. This can be checked for the planned installation by following
section 3.4.3.

The total power requirement P of all consumers can be determined

from the following table:

3.4.3 Effect of the cable length

The length of the cables in the IQ SENSOR NET affects

! the operating voltage available for a component
! the quality of data transmission.

Note
All information applies to SNCIQ cable material only. As regards the
copper wire diameter and dielectric, this cable is especially designed
for the combined energy and data transmission via great distances and
ensures the lightning protection characteristics stated in
chapter 8 TECHNICAL DATA.

Voltage drop due to Very long cables in the IQ SENSOR NET cause voltage drops with
cable lengths growing distance from the power supply module. If the voltage is under
the limit values, further IQ power supply modules must be used to
compensate.

Guideline If the power supply modules are positioned in the vicinity of the main
consumers and the total cable length is no more than 400 m, no
additional cable losses have normally to be taken into account. Main
consumers are components with a power consumption of 5 W or more.

Note
When determining the number of power supply modules required, the
most unfavorable design has to be taken into account for mobile
components (MIQ/T2020 and MIQ/T2020 PLUS). I. e., take into
account
! the maximum number of mobile components and
! their greatest possible installation distance from the power supply
module

Determining the length A diagram is used to determine whether an additional MIQ power
of the cable section supply module is necessary for the planned installation. To do so, the
length of the cable section must be determined.

A cable section is the longest continuous length of cable from an

MIQ power supply module to a consumer. Sensor connection
cables up to 15 m are not taken into account in this.

Example The following figure shows the length of the cable section L made up of
the partial lengths L1, L2 and L3 as the cable section L4 is shorter than
L3:

Checking the power

1 Determine the length of the cable section for the planned
supply
installation.
2 Determine the sum of the power consumption of all consumers
along the cable section (including IQ sensors).
3 Enter both determined values as a point in the following
diagram.

Note
To make it easier it is assumed that all consumers are located at the
end of the cable section.

Fig. 3-3 Diagram to check the power supply

4 Evaluation:
If the point is in the lower, valid range, no additional power
supply module is required.
If the point is in the upper, invalid range, an additional power
supply module is required. Install this power supply module in
the vicinity of the main consumers of this section, or, if not
possible, - starting from the primary MIQ power supply module
- approx. at that point of the section where the maximum cable
length is exceeded (see following example).

3-8 ba75436e05 07/2007

System 184 XT Installation

Example Problem:
Consumers with a total power requirement of 9 W are positioned on a
cable section of 650 m. Is the power supply with one power supply
module sufficient? At which point must a further power supply module
be installed if necessary?

Proceeding:
! Enter both values as a point in the diagram (point "x" in Fig. 3-3).
! Result: the point is in the invalid range. I. e. the power supply is not
sufficient.
! Draw down a vertical line from the point until the line crosses the limit
between the upper and lower range. The intersecting point specifies
the maximum cable length for the existing power requirement (at
approx. 470 m). This is the place where the additional power supply
module is required.
! If any main consumers are near the place, the power supply module
should be installed in their vicinity (ideally, directly on them).

Note
After commissioning, you can check the voltage directly on the
MIQ modules or on the terminal connections of the IQ sensors (see
section 7.2.2). The limit values of the voltage levels can be found in the
TECHNICAL DATA chapter of this operating manual.

Quality of data If the sum of all line lengths (including the SACIQ sensor connection
transmission cable) exceeds 1000 m, an MIQ/JBR signal amplifier module must be
installed in the system. More details of this are given in the MIQ/JBR
component operating manual.

Installation System 184 XT

3.4.4 Optimum installation of MIQ power supply modules

Basic rules ! If possible, install the MIQ power supply modules in the vicinity of
the IQ SENSOR NET components with the highest power
consumption. This also applies in the case of several MIQ power
supply modules in the system.
! If possible, assemble the IQ SENSOR NET in a star configuration from
the MIQ power supply modules.

3.4.5 Installation guidelines for lightning protection

When using the IQ SENSOR NET measuring technique, especially in the

field, sufficient protection against (electrical) surges must be provided.
A surge is sum phenomenon of surge voltage and surge current. It is
generated by the indirect effect of a lightning event or switching
procedure in the supply network system, grounding system and
informational lines.

To be sufficiently protected against the detrimental effects of surges, a

concept consisting of the following protective measures is required:
! technical protective measures inside the instrument, and
! exterior protective measures of the installation environment.

With WTW online measuring technique, the technical protective

measures inside the instrument are already integrated as the so-called
lightning protection (see chapter 9 TECHNICAL DATA).

The exterior protective measures of the installation environment can be

carried out observing the following guidelines:
1 All cables of the IQ SENSOR NET System
a) have to be installed within the grounded metal installation
constructions, e. g. rails, pipes, mounting stands if possible (or
otherwise in direct vicinity to them).
b) have to be installed in the ground, especially if the cables are
longer.

Background: the small distance from the grounded metal

construction or the installation in the ground prevents the
development of induction loops between the cable and the ground
hazardous in the case of lightning strikes.
2 The SNCIQ or SNCIQ-UG cable material must be used exclusively.
This cable material, especially the big cross-section of the cable
shielding (1.5 mm²), is an important requirement for the safe
elimination of the surge without the development of unallowed high
overvoltages along the line, which could damage the individual

3 - 10 ba75436e05 07/2007
System 184 XT Installation

components. We strongly recommend not to use any other cables,

which normally have a considerably lower shielding wire cross-
sections.
3 All metal installation constructions, i. e. rails, pipes, mounting stands
and other to which MIQ modules are attached have to be connected
to the local potential equalization system and grounding system or
to be individually grounded locally and sufficiently according to
technical rules.
If the measuring station is grounded individually, the installation
construction has to be massively connected to the test solution by
means of a large surface auxiliary electrode.
Metal control shafts/pipes and other large surface metal bodies that
reach into the test solution can be ideally used for the grounding of
the installation construction.
Thus a target way for the main surge is created. This can prevent
the surge from being conducted to the test solution via the
IQ SENSOR NET cable and the valuable sensors.
4 The contacts of the MIQ modules always have to be protected with
the respective contact covers when they are not used by terminal
components. The contact covers improve the insulation against
electric fields of a thunderstorm by enlarging air gaps and creepage
distances.
5 We recommend to install a metal or nonmetal sun shield at each
open air location of MIQ modules. Sun shields have a protective
effect because the electrical field lines in the area of the MIQ module
are advantageously formed, and they support the discharge of the
surge via the installation construction.
6 The line voltage that supports the measuring system must
correspond to overvoltage category II. Normally this is ensured by
the public operators of the supply network systems. For in-house
supply networks, such as all power supply systems run by the waste
water treatment plant, this must be ensured separately by a potential
equalization and overvoltage protection system at the plant.
7 The IQ SENSOR NET safety and lightning protection concept is partly
based on the high-quality protective insulation of the line power
supply units and the total system. It neither has nor requires any
protective ground conductor or ground connection. Avoid any direct
connection of IQ SENSOR NET connections or the metal sensor
housings with the local grounding or potential equalization system
as well as with metal construction elements (see point 9).
8 Additional lightning protection measures taken directly at the
IQ SENSOR NET System or its components such as using
overvoltage conductors, are not necessary to protect against the
indirect effects of lightning stroke and might possibly cause
malfunctions.

ba75436e05 07/2007 3 - 11
Installation System 184 XT

9 To realize the internal lightning protection of the plant (e.g. waste

water treatment plant control room) and to protect non
IQ SENSOR NET equipment, cable entry points in buildings or
arrangements, coming from the IQ SENSOR NET, may be completed
as follows:
– The shield of SNCIQ or SNCIQ-UG cables can be connected to
the local potential equalization with a gas overvoltage conductor.
Shielding terminals have to be used for the contacting of the
shield. The shield of the cable must not be opened in any case.
– 0/4-20 mA interfaces must be completed with shielded cables.
The cable shield must be connected directly to the available
potential equalization(s). If plant potential equalization systems
are available on both sides the shield must also be connected on
both sides. The internal wires must not have any contact to the
potential equalization.
– Relay cables should be connected to the local potential equaliza-
tion via gas overvoltage conductors to provide universal and con-
sequent protection.

3.5 Connecting system components

3.5.1 General information

The IQ SENSOR NET system components are connected to form a

functioning unit in the following ways:
! Stacked mounting of MIQ modules
Up to three MIQ modules can be installed and mechanically
connected with one another to form a stack at a single location. The
contacts on the front and rear automatically create the electrical
connection between the MIQ modules in the stack (section 3.5.2).
! Distributed mounting of MIQ modules
Individual MIQ modules or an assembled module stack are installed
at various locations (for example, a central control unit and an
MIQ branching module for connecting IQ sensors at the edge of the
basin). The spatial distance is bridged with the aid of the SNCIQ or
SNCIQ/UG cable (section 3.5.3).
! Connection of IQ sensors:
IQ sensors are connected to an MIQ module with the aid of the
SACIQ cable. This cable is available in different lengths. The
MIQ module must have a free SENSORNET connection on the
terminal strip. On the sensor side, the connection is made via a plug
that is standard for all IQ sensors (section 3.5.4).
! Docking of a terminal unit:
A terminal unit is attached to the lid of a free MIQ module with the
aid of a quick-release locking mechanism (section 3.5.5).

Caution
Distributed mounting is only allowed in a star configuration. The
system must nowhere be closed to form a ring. Only use the
assembly material provided for the installation.

ba75436e05 07/2007 3 - 13
Installation System 184 XT

3.5.2 Stacked mounting of MIQ modules:

Caution
For optimum stability, a maximum of three MIQ modules can be
mounted in any one stack. Only one MIQ power supply module
may be mounted per module stack.

Mounting direction MIQ modules can be stacked on top of one another from both sides. All
the required installation materials are contained in the scope of delivery
of the MIQ modules.

Variant 1 - stack expansion

forwards.

The back of an MIQ module is

attached to the lid of another
MIQ module
(page 3-15).

Variant 2: - stack expansion

backwards.

The lid of an MIQ module is

attached to the back of another
MIQ module (page 3-18).

Which variant is suitable for a specific case depends on whether and

how an MIQ module is already permanently installed at a location (e.g.
on a wall or in a panel), among other factors.

Note
In the case of panel mounting, the front MIQ module can only be
installed individually in the switch cabinet aperture. Only then can
further MIQ modules be added to its back (variant 2). If necessary,
dismantle the front MIQ module from an already mounted stack before
mounting.
Materials required ! 2 x ISO blind nuts M4
! 2 x cheese-head screws M4x16 with plastic washer
! 1 x contact base with two plastic tapping screws.

Tools ! Phillips screw driver.

3.5.3 Distributed mounting of MIQ modules

General information The following IQ SENSOR NET cables can be used for distributed
mounting:
! SNCIQ cable
! SNCIQ/UG earth cable - suitable for underground laying according
to VDE 01816, Part 2 and DIN/VDE 0891, Part 6.

The cables are delivered as piece goods (please specify length when
ordering!).

Each MIQ module has a row of terminal strips in the housing. The two
3-fold terminal strips on the right are always reserved for the
connection of further IQ SENSOR NET components (designation
"SENSORNET 1" and "SENSORNET 2").

Some MIQ modules have additional "SENSORNET" connections

("SENSORNET 3" and "SENSORNET 4") on the left of the terminal
strip.

Caution
The IQ SENSOR NET cable may only be connected to the
SENSORNET connections. No wire of the cable may be connected
with an external electrical potential. Otherwise, malfunctions
could occur.

Materials required ! 1 x SNCIQ or SNCIQ/UG connection cable (see

chapter 9 ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS)

Differentiating For the simpler correlation of measured value and measurement

IQ sensors of the same location, the system provides the option of giving each IQ sensor a
type in the system user-defined name (see section 5.4.1). This name appears in the
measured value display.

When the IQ sensor is delivered, the name is identical with the serial
number. Therefore, after the initial commissioning, IQ sensors of the
same type can only be differentiated by the serial number that appears
on the measured value display. In order to prevent confusing the
IQ sensors when assigning the name, you can proceed according to
one of the two methods:
! Note the serial number of the IQ sensor at the respective
measurement location before installation. Then, install all
IQ sensors. After the commissioning, open the list of sensors on the
controller. Then assign a suitable sensor name using the sensor
type and the noted serial number.
! Disconnect the IQ sensors of the same type from the connection
cables before commissioning the system. Then, put the system into
operation. After the commissioning, connect the IQ sensors
individually to the SACIQ connection cable. To do so, proceed step-
by-step sensor for sensor. After each newly connected IQ sensor,
select the Edit list of sensors menu on the terminal and assign a
suitable sensor name to the sensor.

Note
The list of sensors and the assignment of sensor names is described in
section 5.4.1 on page 5-5.

Connecting the SACIQ The connection of the SACIQ cable to the terminal strip of an
cable to the MIQ module MIQ module is described in section 3.5.3 (see CONNECTING THE
CABLES, Seite 3-22).

Caution
The SACIQ sensor connection cable may only be connected to the
SENSORNET connections. No wire of the cable may be connected
with an external electrical potential. Otherwise, malfunctions
could occur.

Connecting the sensor

1 Remove the protective caps from the plug connections of the

safe.
2 Plug the socket of the SACIQ sensor connection cable onto the
plug head connector of the IQ sensor. At the same time, rotate
the socket so that the pin in the plug head connector (1) clicks
into one of the two holes in the socket.
3 Then, screw the coupling ring (2) of the IQ sensor connection
cable on the IQ sensor up to the stop.

3.5.5 Installing terminal components

The terminal component is the operating and control unit of the

IQ SENSOR NET. It serves as an input and output device and is
necessary to operate the IQ SENSOR NET.

You can install the following terminal components:

! MIQ/C184 XT terminal
! MIQ/T2020 terminal (see MIQ/T2020 component operating manual)
! MIQ/IF232 interface component with software terminal (see MIQ/
IF232 component operating manual)

The terminal component is installed on the lid of any free MIQ module.

The MIQ/C184 XT terminal/controller component is docked onto the lid

of any free MIQ module in the same way as the MIQ/T2020 mobile
terminal.

The MIQ/C184 XT terminal/controller component has an integrated

controller function. Therefore, in contrast to the mobile MIQ/T2020
terminal, it may not be removed while the system is running. To protect
against any inadvertent removal, the MIQ/C184 XT terminal
component can be secured with a locking screw.

3.6 Installation of the MIQ modules at the installation

location

3.6.1 General information

The IQ SENSOR NET system has a comprehensive program of

mounting accessories, which can be used to adapt the installation to
the most varied requirements.

Caution
MIQ modules installed outside must always be protected by a sun
shield against the effects of the weather (snow, ice and direct
solar radiation). Otherwise, malfunctions can result. Always
mount MIQ modules vertically. Do not under any circumstances
install MIQ modules without rain protection with the lid facing
upwards (danger of retained humidity and penetration of
moisture).

Installation options The most important types of installation for MIQ modules and module
stacks are described in the following chapters:
! Mounting on a mounting stand with the SSH/IQ sun shield:
The SSH/IQ sun shield provides enough space for one unit of up to
three stacked MIQ modules and a docked terminal (section 3.6.2).
! Mounting on the SD/K 170 sun shield
The SD/K 170 sun shield provides enough space for a single
MIQ module with a docked terminal. The sun shield can be mounted

3.8 Commissioning

3.8.1 Topology and terminator switch

For failure-free operation, the terminator switches (terminating

resistors) must always be set to ON on two MIQ modules. On which
modules this has to be done can be taken from the topology of the
IQ SENSOR NET system:

Fig. 3-26 Correct setting of the terminator switches

Main line Longest cable section with terminator switches at

its ends.
The terminator switches on both ends must be
set to ON.
If all MIQ modules are at one location, i. e. in a
module stack, the length of the main line is zero
(star-shaped wiring).
Branch line All lines that branch from the main line.
Branch lines can be branched further.

Installation System 184 XT

Note
In MIQ/S184 XT-H3 multiparameter measuring transmitters, the SN
terminator switches of the two MIQ modules are set to ON in the
delivery state. This is the correct setting provided that the system is not
further branched. In the case of additional branching, the SN terminator
switches must be newly set.

3.8.2 Start checklist and system start

Before starting the system, carry out the system check using the
following checklist. Always carry out the check
! before the initial commissioning
! before any further commissioning if the system has been previously
extended or modified.

Start checklist
1 Is the sum of the power consumption of the components
smaller than the sum of the power delivery of all power supply
modules (see section 3.3.1)?
2 Are all IQ SENSOR NET components correctly connected with
one another (see section 3.5)?
3 Are all SN terminator switches correctly set (see
section 3.8.1)?
4 Is the MIQ power supply module correctly connected to the
voltage supply?
5 Do the line voltage and line frequency agree with the data on
the name plate of the MIQ power supply module?
6 Are all IQ sensors ready for measuring, e.g. a D.O. sensor
filled with electrolyte solution?

Starting the system Switch on the voltage supply of the MIQ power supply module(s).

3 - 40 ba75436e05 07/2007
System 184 XT Installation

Initial start phase In the initial start phase, all IQ SENSOR NET components are
automatically registered on the MIQ/C184 XT controller module and
the terminal is initialized. Then, the system performs a self test. This
process may last a few seconds. During this period, the following
display appears:

Fig. 3-29 Display during the initialization process

Second start phase As soon as the terminal is successfully initialized, the measured value
display appears (fourfold display). In the case of IQ sensors that are not
yet providing measured values, "Init" appears temporarily:

Fig. 3-30 Display after initialization of the terminal

Note
Assign a name to each IQ sensor after putting it into operation for the
first time so you can identify it more easily. How to assign a sensor
name is described in section 5.4.1 on page 5-5.

Note
If the system start failed, see chapter 7 WHAT TO DO IF ....

ba75436e05 07/2007 3 - 41
Installation System 184 XT

3.8.3 Checking the voltage supply

This test should always be performed:

! after the initial commissioning
! after any system extension or modification.

This test checks the power supply and the communication of the
components after the system has been started.

Test procedure
1 Check the status of the LEDs on the MIQ power supply
modules (Fig. 3-31):
– Yellow lights upOperational voltage OK.
The operational voltage supplied is
constant and is max. 24 V.
– Red lights upOperational voltage with power limitation.
The operational voltage supplied is
adjusted to the load conditions.
– no LED lights up:Operational voltage too low.
The operational voltage supplied is
too low or the MIQ power supply
module is defective.
2 Dock any existing MIQ/T2020 mobile terminal on the system
as far away as possible from a MIQ power supply module (i.e.
test of the power supply in the most unfavorable possible
conditions)
3 Check the status of the LEDs on all MIQ modules (except for
the MIQ power supply modules, see step 1) (Fig. 3-31):
– Yellow lights upOperational voltage OK
– Red lights upOperational voltage in warning range. The
component is fully functional.
However, any further slight drop in
voltage can lead to failure
– no LED lights up:Operational voltage in error range

Note
The relationship between the supply voltage, the LED status and the
log book entries is described in the section 8.1 GENERAL SYSTEM DATA.

Installation System 184 XT

3.9 System extension and modification

3.9.1 General information

The modular structure of the IQ SENSOR NET system makes it easy to

carry out subsequent extensions and modifications. The system
automatically identifies new active modules and includes them in the
list of modules. Added IQ sensors immediately deliver measured
values without the necessity for special settings.

Warning
When the system is switched on, if the MIQ/PS power supply
module is opened, there is a danger to life due to possible hazard
of electric shock from line voltage. There is also a danger to life
inside the relay output modules (e.g. MIQ/ CR3) if voltages are
applied to the relay contacts that may present a hazard of electric
shock. Before opening the MIQ modules, switch off the system
and all external voltages that present a hazard of electric shock
and secure the system against being inadvertently switched on
again.

Installation instructions Note the following points in any system extension or modification:
! Before any extension or modification, check that the planned
number of MIQ power supply modules is sufficient for the planned
installation (see section 3.3.1 SYSTEM PLANNING)
! Before beginning the installation tasks, always switch off the system.
Also, switch off all external voltages
! Clean the MIQ module stack to remove the worst of any dirt before
taking it apart or opening it (see section 6.2 CLEANING)
! Before mounting the stack, check the contacts on the front and back
of any MIQ modules that were already in use somewhere else.
Clean any dirty contacts
! After any change to the system, check the setting of the SN
terminator switches and adjust it if necessary (see section
3.8.1 TOPOLOGY AND TERMINATOR SWITCH).

Installing new Install new components as described in section 3.5 CONNECTING

components SYSTEM COMPONENTS. Then put the system into operation again
(section 3.8 COMMISSIONING). Active modules are automatically
recognized by the controller and included in the corresponding module
lists.

3 - 44 ba75436e05 07/2007
System 184 XT Installation

Note
If a new component is not included, the maximum number of datasets
(active and inactive datasets) may be exceeded.

The maximum number of datasets for IQ sensors is 12. For MIQ output
modules, the maximum number of datasets (active and inactive
datasets) is 6.

When this number of datasets is already stored, no further component

can be installed.

If necessary, an inactive dataset has to be erased to make an extension

possible (how to erase inactive datasets is described in section 5.4.3 or
section 5.6.2).

Note
New modules are first registered on the system when the measured
value display is opened.

Replacing components The replacement of components is described in detail in section

7.4 REPLACING SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

4.4.5 Transmitting recorded measuring data to a PC

In the IQ SENSOR NET, you can log measured values of IQ sensors or

differential sensors (see system operating manual, Measured value
logging). The recorded measured values can be transmitted to a PC
with the aid of the MIQ/IF232 component.
The following methods are available for this:
! Direct data transmission (IQ SENSOR NET --> PC)
IQ Sensor Net Direct data transmission is recommended if the PC can be operated
in the vicinity of the IQ SENSOR NET.
MIQ/IF232 Direct data transmission can take place in two ways:

– Transmitting recorded measuring data to the PC with the aid of

the software terminal
PC
– Transmitting recorded measuring data to the PC with the aid of
the Data transfer software

! Indirect data transmission

(IQ SENSOR NET -> MIQ/T2020 terminal --> PC)

Indirect data transmission is recommended if the PC cannot be

operated in the vicinity of the IQ SENSOR NET.

For indirect data transmission, a Transfer station with the MIQ/IF232

component is required as an accessory. Indirect data transmission
consists of two steps:

– Transmitting recorded sensor measuring data to the mobile MIQ/

T2020 terminal.
and

– Transmitting temporarily stored measuring data from the MIQ/

T2020 terminal to the PC with the aid of a Transfer station and
the Data transfer software.

Starting the data Details on all kinds of data transmission are given in the MIQ/IF232
transmission component operating manual.The MIQ/T2020 and MIQ/T2020 PC
terminals contain the Data transfer menu item in the Display options
menu. This is where you select the data for transmission to the MIQ/
T2020 terminal or PC and start the transmission.

4.5 Messages and log book

The IQ SENSOR NET continuously monitors the status of the entire
system. If the IQ SENSOR NET identifies system changes, a message
appears. New messages can be recognized by the flashing information
symbol or error symbol on the display.

All messages are recorded in the log book.

4.5.1 Message types

The system differentiates two types of messages:

! Errors h
Indicates a critical status in the system or an individual system
component that requires immediate action.
In the case of new error messages, the error symbol flashes on the
display.
! Information i
Information that does not require immediate action.
In the case of new information, the info symbol flashes on the
display.

Note
In the case of errors, immediately open the detailed message text in the
log book and perform the recommended actions. If the actions have
been performed, mark the message as read (see section 4.5.3).

4.5.2 Log book

The log book is a list with all the messages from all modules. The log
book contains up to 1000 entries. If there are more than 1000
messages, the oldest entries are deleted.

New messages can be recognized by the flashing information symbol

or error symbol. The log book always contains the latest message in the
first position. They do not yet have a tick in the status field.

The flashing of the info or error symbol only stops after all detailed
message texts in the log book have been opened and marked with a
tick (✔) (see section 4.5.3).

4.9 General course when calibrating, cleaning, servicing

or repairing an IQ sensor
When an IQ sensor is calibrated, cleaned, serviced or repaired, the
maintenance condition for the relevant IQ sensor should always be
switched on.
In the maintenance condition
! the system does not react to the current measured value or the
condition of the selected IQ sensor
! linked outputs are frozen
! IQ sensor errors do not prompt changes in the conditions of linked
outputs.

The maintenance condition for IQ sensors is automatically activated

! during calibration. After calibration the IQ sensor remains in the
maintenance condition until the maintenance condition is switched
off manually (see section 4.9.3)
! during a compressed-air cleaning cycle.

Therefore, keep to the following course when you calibrate, clean,

service or repair an IQ sensor.

Course
1 Switch on the maintenance condition for the IQ sensor (see
section 4.9.2).
The display of the sensor in the measured value display
flashes.
2 Pull the sensor out of the sample.

You can display the stored measured values
! as a list or
! display the temporal course of the stored measured values
graphically (see section 4.4.4).
! display the stored measured values to a PC.

The system allocates memory blocks to an IQ sensor for the Measured

value logging. With a recording interval of 1 measurement dataset per
minute, a recording duration of 1 day per memory block is possible.
1830 memory blocks are available and can be distributed to the
sensors.

The recording duration directly depends on the recording interval. If a

recording duration of 0 d is set for a sensor, there is no memory block
allocated to the IQ sensor. The Dur. setting also contains the number
of the allocated memory blocks (see table).

7.1 Information on errors
Log book The IQ SENSOR NET system performs a comprehensive cyclical self
test during operation. While doing so, the system identifies all states
that deviate from normal operation and enters corresponding
messages in the log book (information or error message).

With the aid of the log book, you can call up instructions on how to clear
the error directly on the terminal. The log book is described in detail in
section 4.5 MESSAGES AND LOG BOOK.

Note
Information on possible errors in IQ sensors and MIQ output modules
is given in the chapter WHAT TO DO IF ... of the respective component
operating manual.

7.2 Diagnosing faults in the voltage supply

7.2.1 Options for checking the voltage

The following options are available for checking the correct voltage
supply of the individual components:
! Checking the log book entries
Log book entries can only be generated by components with a
processor (e.g. IQ sensors and MIQ output modules). The log book
entries contain information on how to clear errors. For more details
on the log book, see section 4.5.
! Checking the LED status on the MIQ module housing
This check is described within the framework of the commissioning
in section 3.8.3 CHECKING THE VOLTAGE SUPPLY.
! Measuring the voltage on the MIQ modules
(see section 7.2.2 MEASURING THE VOLTAGE).

Note
The relationship between the supply voltage, the LED status and the
log book entries is described in the section 8.1 GENERAL SYSTEM DATA.

ba75436e05 07/2007 7-1

What to do if ... System 184 XT

7.2.2 Measuring the voltage

If an MIQ module shows an error condition (both LEDs off), this can be
due to the following causes:
! The voltage supply has been interrupted
! The available voltage is not sufficient; the voltage is below the
warning range.

These two cases can be differentiated with a voltmeter.

Measuring points of The supply voltage is tapped at the following points (Fig. 7-1 on
MIQ modules page 7-3):
! Outside on the free contacts on the front of the SENSORNET
module
! Inside on the SENSORNET connections of the terminal strip (see
section 7.2.2 MEASURING THE VOLTAGE).

Measuring points for The supply voltage is measured on the MIQ module to which the
IQ sensors IQ sensor is connected via the SACIQ sensor connection cable.

Systematic voltage Dock all mobile MIQ/T 2020 (PLUS) components onto the modules
measurement with greatest distance to the next power supply module. Begin
measuring the voltage at the MIQ modules that are directly connected
with an MIQ power supply module. Continue to measure the voltage
systematically to the end of each cable section, i. e. along the voltage
drop. Thus, in combination with the log book entries, you can narrow
down the error location.

Warning
If the MIQ/PS power supply module is opened during operation,
there is a danger to life due to possible hazard of electric shock.
There is also a danger to life from voltages that may present a
hazard of electric shock on the relay contacts of open MIQ output
modules (e.g. MIQ/CR3). Note the following points in the case of
voltage measurement during operation:
! The voltage measurement may not be performed on the open
MIQ/PS power supply module. The MIQ/PS may only be opened
when the line voltage is switched off.
! The voltage measurement at an open MIQ output module with
relays may only be performed if all external voltages have been
previously switched off.
! Secure all voltages that have been switched off against being
switched on again for the duration of the work.

7.4 Replacing system components

Note
It is always possible to replace components and assign a substitute if
the software state of the substitute component is as high or higher as

7.4.1 Replacing passive components

Passive components include all components that the controller cannot

recognize.
These include:
! MIQ power supply modules
! MIQ branching module
! Cables (SNCIQ, SACIQ).

Warning
If the MIQ/PS power supply module is opened during operation,
there is a danger to life due to possible hazard of electric shock.
The MIQ/PS may only be opened when the line voltage is switched
off. Secure the line voltage against being switched on again.

Only ever replace components when the IQ SENSOR NET system is

switched off. Defective components are removed in the reverse order
to the installation (see chapter 3 INSTALLATION).

Edit list of sensors menu. This indicates an "inactive dataset". A dataset
contains the following information:
! Serial number of the IQ sensor (and, with it, the type of sensor)
! Display position
! All sensor settings including differential sensor
! All characteristics of the link with an output.

If no suitable inactive dataset is available, a newly connected IQ sensor

is automatically recognized as a new module and added to the list of
sensors (see section 3.9 SYSTEM EXTENSION AND MODIFICATION).

System 184 XT What to do if ...

Note
The maximum number of data sets (active and inactive datasets) for
IQ sensors is limited to 12 in the IQ SENSOR NET system 184 XT. When
this number is reached, no further IQ sensor can be installed. If
necessary, an inactive dataset has to be erased to make an extension
possible.

Note
The current calibration data of the IQ sensor is always stored in the

for the duration of the work.

Note
When replacing MIQ modules make sure that the substitute module
has at least the software status of the active module.

Only replace MIQ output modules (all MIQ modules with relay contacts
and/or electrical signal outputs) when the IQ SENSOR NET system is
switched off. Defective MIQ output modules are removed in the reverse
order to the installation. The installation is described in the
INSTALLATION chapter of the respective component operating manual.

Inactive datasets in MIQ If an MIQ output module is removed from the system, its settings
output modules remain stored in the IQ SENSOR NET controller. A "?" appears in the left
column (= inactive dataset) of the Edit list of outputs menu. The dataset
contains the following information:
! All settings of the relays
! All settings of the current outputs.

If no inactive dataset is available, a newly connected MIQ output

module is automatically recognized as a new module and added to the
list of outputs (see section 3.9 SYSTEM EXTENSION AND MODIFICATION).

Note
The maximum number of data sets (active and inactive datasets) for
MIQ output modules is limited to 6 in the IQ SENSOR NET system
184 XT. When this number is reached, no further MIQ output module
can be installed. If necessary, an inactive dataset has to be erased to
make an extension possible.

Note
To erase inactive datasets, see section 5.6.2.

If an MIQ output module is connected to the system when an inactive

dataset is present, the following cases are possible:

Case 1:
The serial number of the The connected MIQ output

10.2 Explanation of the message codes

The log book contains a list with all the messages from all modules. Each message consists of message
code, date and time. You can obtain more detailed information by opening the full message text (see
section 4.5).

The full message text comes from the component that has triggered the message. Therefore, these
texts are only available from components which are connected to the system and ready for operation.

If a message text is not available, because the component is not connected to the system, you can look
up the texts of the messages in the operating manual of the respective component.

The following lists contain the message codes and the related message texts that are shown on the
display. Error messages and info messages are listed separately.

General explanations on the subjects of messages, message codes and log book are given in section
4.5 of this system operating manual.
