The time interval can be
anything e
venly divisible into 60
minutes
. A shorter time period allows
you to observe small changes with more detail. But it also consumes memory more quickly,
causing the
CNI2
to need to communicate with the data collection system more frequently
so
that older d
ata is not lost
. This can have an impact on both battery life and the cost of the
cellular service.
The
CNI2
can
save a total of 30,000 records before it starts to overwrite the oldest records.
These are divided equally between all active pulse
-
counting
channels. If only one channel is
used for pulse
-
counting then all 30,000
record
locations will be used for that channel. If using a
10
-
minute interval it would take a little over 200 days to reach the end of the memory. If
three
channels are active th
en each channel is allocated
1/3 of the memory, or 10,000
records.
Each record consumes 2 bytes of memory. For a queue size of 30,000 records select the “60K”
size. For a smaller queue (16,000 records) select the “32K” size.
The data collection sys
tem
(
DC
-
2009
®
or
MV90
®
) has the ability to request the entire contents of the queue, so a smaller
queue size w
i
ll result in a shorter call, lower power consumption and lower cellular costs.
Queue Full Alarm
To prevent the loss of accumulated data the
CN
I2
will place an immediate call to the central
office when the
storage “queue
reaches a certain point. You can define this as any percentage
between 1% and 100%. Default is 75%.
Sample Rates
The
CNI2
does not inspect the state of the inputs 100% of th
e time; otherwise it wouldn’t have
time to perform any other functions. Rather the
CNI2
briefly inspects (“
samples
”) the condition
of the lines one or more times each second. You can configure the
CNI2
to take as few as one
sample per second or as many a
s 50 samples per second. The
12 possible
input
/output lines
are
divided into two groups, each with its own sampling rate.
Lines
-
1, 2, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are
one group. Lines
-
3 thru 8 are in the other group.
NOTE
Lines #3 thru #8 are only available usin
g an optional expansion board which is not available
at this time.
The sample rate is based on how quickly you expect the inputs to change. Faster sampling
rates are used for quickly
-
changing inputs but results in higher power consumption. Too slow
o
f a sampling rate can lead to errors.
Debouncing and sample rates are discussed in more detail later in this document.
