Operation Principle

of ZET 7121 Digital Temperature Gauges

Digital temperature sensor ZET 7121 is intended for measuring temperature of liquid, solid, gaseous, and bulk mediums, unaggressive to the thermistor body material. Application scope: heat engineering, chemical industry, and metallurgy.

The digital temperature sensor consists of a thermistor and ZET 7121 measuring unit which converts the signal from the sensor to temperature values. Thermistor type is selected in accordance with the specifics of the task to be solved: measurement and accuracy required ranges, operation conditions.

Connection Diagrams

of ZET 7121 Digital Temperature Sensors

The digital gauges can be used for building distributed measurement networks. The ZET 7174 interface converter is used for connecting the measurement network to ZETLAB and ZETVIEW systems. The number of gauges connected to ZET 7174 shall not exceed 4. The ZETLAB software supports connection of up to 200 gauges to a single computer.

Control

of ZET 7121 Digital Temperature Sensors

Digital temperature sensor ZET 7121 starts measurement right after being powered on and does not require specific technical maintenance. All necessary settings are set during the primary and planned calibrations and stored in the measuring unit memory. The resulting temperature values are transmitted via CAN interface.

When a primary transducer is replaced, it is necessary to update the unit settings. For this purpose, connect the unit to a PC, launch “ZETLAB – Device Manager” software and set the sensor parameters on the “Thermometer” tab.

Configuration 7121

Self-Diagnostic

The digital sensor self-diagnostics mechanism is a hardware and software implementation allowing to generate various test signals to the measuring “track” of sensors with no use of external equipment.

To start self-testing in digital sensors, use a separate tab, “Testing”.

Self-Diagnostic

A certain test corresponds to each test signal and has a unique identifier. The set of supported tests is stored in the digital sensor. The table below lists the tests available in ZET 7121.

Parameter Changeability Acceptable values Description
List of tests Yes Off Not tested
Test1 Resistance measuring
PPS external Synchronization signal generated by an external device. It is intended for controlling synchronization of several ZET 7121 sensors. Synchronization can be controlled in “Multi-Channel Oscilloscope”.
PPS internal Synchronization signal generated by the ZET 7121 digital sensor. It is intended for controlling synchronization of several ZET 7121 sensors. Synchronization can be controlled in “Multi-Channel Oscilloscope”.

After test selection, press the “Save” button; the signal received during self-testing comes via the measurement channel. The testing signal parameters are described in a text form in order not to bind particular types of sensors to certain tests. The “Test signal parameters” field describes the signal to be transmitted via the sensor measuring channel. The table below lists possible types of signal.

Signal Designation Type of Signal Parameters 
DC Constant signal (values are displayed on the DC voltage meter). LE: “Required resistance”: “Resistance tolerance”
TM “Signal analysis time”, the time for signal control (set the minimum signal analysis time for the tests which imply transition processes or which simply are long)
Example:
DC; LE:227:2; TM:3
Constant signal: 227±2 Ohm, the signal is controlled during at least 3 seconds.

PPS - Pulse-per-second signal

SP: «Acceptable counts deviation» – amount of counts before or after start of a second.

Level change to be checked one time in a second.

Example:
PPS;SP:2 –
the change should take place in the beginning of a second, 2 counts.

Device type is selected from the dropdown list. In order to select a device, pick an element with left mouse key and choose a device to be checked from the list.

Use selector to set particular test. To set the test number click the number with left mouse key and set the required value by scroll. If the self-check is on, the selector will not be available until the user stops the project or the self-check is over. There is a key for start / stop of the process. The green key means that the diagnostics process is on, grey key stands for  for idle state.

Indicator is a timer showing the elapsing time of the current test. The countdown is started after beginning of any test. Test results are available in the log.
