Durant Ambassador Series 5760X-405 Counting Controller Operating Instructions

Counting and Rate Core Module

Module Name Key Parameters Function Description

Main counter with 6 bits, bidirectional counting, 4 preset (P1-P4) core counting modules, supports increment/decrement, can set final preset (Pf), supports resetting to zero/preset value, supports automatic cycle counting

Batch counter with 6 digits, increment only, 1 preset records the “batch” quantity of the main counter, the main counter automatically cycles or increments when reaching the final preset, and automatically cycles after reaching the preset

Installation and wiring specifications

Installation requirements

Installation method: panel installation, equipped with 1 gasket, 2 installation buckles, and 4 screws;

Gasket installation: The gasket has adhesive on one side and needs to be positioned and pasted once to avoid repeated tearing and pasting, which may cause sealing failure;

Wiring principle: Disconnect all power sources before wiring; Shielded wires are used for signal cables, and the shielding layer is connected to the common terminal of the counter (terminals 2-4); Separate the wiring of power and signal lines into slots to avoid bundling;

Power requirements: Use a “clean” power supply, avoid sharing power with the load, and add a power filter if it seriously interferes with the environment.

Programming and Operation Process

Programming Mode (Core Menu)

Enter programming mode through the RUN/PGM+ENT keys on the panel. The core menu includes 9 categories, and the key programming items are as follows:

Main menu core function key parameter range

Program SCALERS counting/rate scaling factor, decimal point counting scaling factor: 0.00001-9.99999; Rate scaling factor: 0.00001-99999

Program COUNT IN has 8 counting modes: input response, final preset, and automatic loop; The final preset P1-P4 is optional; Automatic loop supports P1/Pf/disable

Program OUT MODE output trigger type (count/rate), logic mode supports latch/pulse/follow; Delay time 0.00-99.99 seconds

Program Display Operation Mode Screen Display/Hide 15 types of screens, which can be hidden without the need for an interface

Program SER PORT communication parameter configuration address 00-99; Baud rate 300-19200; Host/printer mode

Scale factor calculation (core formula)

Count scaling factor (CS): Convert input pulses to target units (such as inches, feet), formula:

CS= PPI DPF

DPF: decimal factor (e.g. XXXX.XX corresponds to 100, XXX.XXX corresponds to 1000);

PPI: Number of pulses per unit of sensor (double counting mode requires x 2).

Rate scaling factor (RS): Convert pulse frequency to target rate units (such as feet per minute, gallons per hour), formula:

RS= PPI SEC×DPF

SEC: The number of seconds in a rate time unit (e.g. minutes=60, hours=3600);

DPF: Rate display decimal factor;

PPI: Number of pulses per unit of sensor.

Operating Mode Operation

Display screen: Supports 15 combinations of display (such as count+text, count+preset, rate+alarm value, etc.), with only 10 options for foot/inch models;

Preset editing: Select digits with SEL key, adjust values with ± key, and confirm with ENT key for effectiveness;

Key functions: RUN/PGM switching mode, RST/CLR programmable reset function, PRIMT key triggers printing (must be enabled).

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Self check and error reporting

Automatically perform 6 self checks upon power on, and display an error message of “ERROR X” (X=0-5), corresponding to faults in ROM/RAM/non-volatile RAM, etc;

Error handling: ERROR 0/1/2/5 needs to be powered off and restarted, ERROR 3 needs to reset the count/preset, ERROR 4 needs to restore the default program, and repeated errors need to be returned to the factory for repair.

Common troubleshooting

No display: Check the power wiring and voltage; Eliminate power noise (add filter);

Do not count: confirm the scale factor is 1.00000; Test manual counting with jumper wires (terminals 4-20 short circuited); Check the output voltage of the sensor (high ≥ 3.5VDC, low ≤ 1.9VDC);

Abnormal speed: Confirm input A wiring; Check the rate scaling factor and decimal point settings.

Accessories and Maintenance

Spare parts: panel gasket (36172-202), installation buckle (48369-200), terminal block (48355-110/112);

Accessories: RS-485 to RS-232 converter (58801-460), configuration software (57624-450), signal conditioner (48160-400);

Maintenance cycle: Regularly check the tightness of the wiring terminals, the grounding condition of the shielding layer, and clean the panel (using a soft damp cloth and avoiding sharp tools/corrosive cleaning agents).
