CAUTION
The 10-CH, Pulse Input Module (MX114-PLS-M10) cannot be used on the MX100
for the reasons below. Please use the 10-CH, Pulse Input Module with the MW100. Index
• Values measured on the MX100 are acquired by the MX100 Standard Software
or MXLOGGER (sold separately).
Pulse measurement values are transferred to the PC software every
measurement interval per the MX100 clock. For pulse integral values, pulse
measurement values sent from the MX100 per the PC clock are integrated on
the PC.
The error on the MX100 and PC clocks is different. Therefore discrepancies
arise in the number of measurements and time, and the simultaneity of other
measured values and pulse measured values is lost, along with the accuracy of
pulse integral values.
Base Plate (MX150)

The base plate is equipped with connectors for connecting the main module and input/
output modules.
Six different base plates are available to hold one to six input/output modules. You can
rack-mount or panel-mount the MX100 by attaching a DIN rail mount bracket to this base
plate.

PC Software
One MX100 can be connected to a PC, and the MX100 Standard Software (that can
acquire measured data) is included. The MX100 Standard Software consists of the
three software programs below. For details about the software functions and operating
procedures, see the MX100 Standard Software User’s Manual (IM MX180-01E). When
configuring a system using the MX100, the software release number and hardware style
number matching conditions must be met (see “Notes” on page i).
Integration Monitor
Enables you to connect or disconnect communications, configure acquisition conditions
and display conditions of the measurement channels, set up computations channels,
monitor measured and computed data, save measured and computed data, and carry
out other operations.
Viewer
Enables you to display measured and computed data that has been saved, read
values and perform statistical computation over an area using cursors, and convert the
measured and computed data into various file formats such as Excel.
Calibrator
This program is used to calibrate the MX100 universal input modules, DCV/TC/DI input
modules, 4-wire RTD resistance input module, strain input modules, and analog output
module.

Communications
The main module is equipped with one auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-
TX Ethernet port. The LEDs at the upper-left and lower-left of the port indicate the
communication status of the Ethernet interface.
Measurement
The main module acquires measured data sampled at specified intervals on each input
module is acquired. Correcting computation, conversion to physical quantities, and other
processes are performed on the acquired measured data, followed by transmission
of measured data to a PC via the Ethernet interface at 100-ms intervals (shortest).
Even if sampled at intervals less than 100 ms (10 ms or 50 ms), the data is transmitted
collectively at 100-ms intervals. In addition, the main module receives output commands
sent from the PC as necessary and generates signal output instructions to the output
modules.

Synchronization of Measurements
• Synchronization between modules
If set to the same measurement interval, measurements made by input modules in the
same acquisition unit are synchronized.
• Synchronization between channels
On the 4-CH, High-Speed Universal Input modules and 10-CH, high speed digital
input modules (-D05 and -D24), measurements between channels are synchronized.
On the 10-CH, Medium-Speed Universal Input modules, 30-CH, Medium-Speed
DCV/TC/DI Input Modules, 6-CH Medium-Speed Four-Wire RTD Resistance
Input modules, and 4-CH, Medium-Speed Strain Input modules (-B12, -B35, and
-NDI), measurements are made sequentially one channel at a time. Therefore,
measurements are not synchronized between channels (we can consider them
synchronized within the measurement interval).
IM MX100-01E 1-7
1.2 Main Module Functions
Measurement Time (When Using the MX100 Standard Software)

When a measurement start request or a measurement data output request is made by
a PC to the main module, the PC’s time information is transmitted to the main module.
The main module generates measurement time using the internal clock based on the
time when the measurement start request is received. When the measured data is sent
to the PC, the PC’s time information along with the measurement time information on
the main module is returned to the PC. The time information used in the monitoring
of the measured data on the PC is that of the main module. When measurement is
made over an extended time, the time between the PC and main module may be
misaligned (up to 60 seconds in one week excluding the accuracy of the PC clock). As
a remedy to this problem, when the measured data is recorded (saved) on the PC, the
PC’s time information is stored along with the measurement time information on the
main module. When the Viewer of the MX100 Standard Software is used to open the
recorded measurement data, the “time synchronization” function can be used to correct
the measurement time relative to the PC’s time based on the PC’s time information.
For details on the time synchronization function, see the Technical Information, MX100

Range Over
When the MW100 detects a range over (see below) on a measurement or MATH
channel, “+Over” or “-Over” is displayed.
• Measurement channel range over
• During DC voltage input, strain input, and resistance (20 Ω, 200 Ω, etc.), a range
over is detected if the value that is measured on a measurement channel is outside
of the measurable range by more than ±5%. For example, when the measurement
range is 2 V, the measurable range is -2.0000 to 2.0000 V. If the voltage exceeds
2.2000 V or goes below -2.2000 V, a range over is detected.
• During high-resolution DC voltage input and pulse input, a value less than 0% of
the measurable range is a negative range over, and a value greater than 105% of
the measurable range is a positive range over.
• If the input type is thermocouple or RTD, excluding the cases where the
thermocouple or RTD has a special range, a range over is detected when the
temperature goes more than approximately 10°C above or below the measurable
range. For example, when the measurement range is set to R, the measurable
range is 0.0 to 1760.0°C. If the temperature exceeds 1770.0°C, “+Over” will be
displayed. If the temperature goes below -10.0°C, “-Over” will be displayed. The
special ranges mentioned here are ranges such as KpvsAu7Fe or J263. If you
are using a special range, “-Over” will be displayed if the temperature goes below
approximately 0°C.
• On channels that use linear scaling, the range-over values, after removing the
decimal point, are above 32000 and below -32000. However, even if the measured
value is within ±30000, if it is a range-over value according to the previous range, it
will be handled as a range-over value.
• When you are performing differential computation between channels (see
"Computation" on next page), if the measured value is outside of the measurable
range, a range over will be detected. When you are using a sensor such as a
thermocouple, the measurable range when performing differential computation
between channels may be larger than the measurable range when not performing
differential computation between channels.

Filters 1
The main module is equipped with a first-order lag filter (see section 2.7, “Measures
against Noise on the MX100”. You can select a time constant (time until 63.2% of the
output value is reached) corresponding to the measurement interval indicated in the 2
equation below.
Time constant = measurement interval × N (where N = 5, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, or 100)
3
Computation
Difference computation between channels and linear scaling are possible. Linear scaling
converts the measured values to values suitable for a particular purpose (scaled values)
4
using the following equation.
Scale value =
(X – SPmin) × (SCmax – SCmin)
+ SCmin
X: Measured value
SPmax: Specified span maximum
5
SPmax – SPmin
SPmin: Specified span minimum
SCmax: Specified scale maximum
SCmin: Specified scale minimum Index
Remote RJC (RRJC)
In measuring temperature with thermocouples within the same unit, when the item to be
measured is located at a great distance, you can setup relay terminals near the item,
measure the temperature of the relay terminal section using thermocouples (reference
channel), and use the resultant value as the reference junction compensation value for
the temperature measurement. By connecting a copper wire between the relay terminal
and input terminal of the input module, and a thermocouple between the DUT and relay
terminal, you can measure the temperature of the DUT without the need for a large
amount of expensive thermocouples.

Alarms
This function outputs alarms when measured or computed values* meet certain
conditions. Select up to four alarms of the following six types on each channel.
• Upper limit alarm
Generates an alarm when the measured or computed value* is greater than or equal
to the alarm value.
• Lower limit alarm
Generates an alarm when the measured or computed value* is less than or equal to
the alarm value.
• Differential upper limit alarm
Generates an alarm when differential input values (difference between the measured
value of a channel and that of the reference channel) are greater than or equal to the
alarm value.
• Differential lower limit alarm
Generates an alarm when differential input values (difference between the measured
value of a channel and that of the reference channel) are less than or equal to the
alarm value.
• Upper limit on rate-of-change alarm*
Generates an alarm if the amount of change in the computed value in the rising
direction exceeds the alarm value within the rate-of-change detection interval.
• Lower limit on rate-of-change alarm*
Generates an alarm if the amount of change in the computed value in the falling
direction exceeds the alarm value within the rate-of-change detection interval.
* When using computed value alarms, do not disconnect the MX100 and the PC software.
Alarms will not occur because the Computation function will not work on the MX100 by itself.
Alarm Value Hysteresis

You can set a width (hysteresis) to the values used to activate and release alarms. Alarm
hysteresis can prevent frequent activation and release of alarms when the measured
value is unstable around the alarm value.

Alarm Output Timing

Alarms occur at each measurement interval based on the alarm settings. However when
the measurement interval is 10 or 50 ms, alarms occur at 100 ms intervals based on all
of the data.

Saving Data to the CF Card

Data Saving When Communication Is Disconnected and Dual Save Function
If communication is disconnected while the PC is recording (saving) measured data and
a 60-s timeout* expires, the measured data is saved to the CF card at 60-s intervals.
When the save operation is started, a file is created for each measurement interval
(referred to as the monitor interval on the MX100 Standard Software). As the save
operation progresses and the file for the shortest measurement interval reaches 5 MB,
the file is closed. At the same time, files of other measurement intervals (files that have
not reached 5 MB) are also closed. Then, a new file is created for each measurement
interval setting once again, and the save operation continues. When the communication
with the PC resumes and acquisition of measured data resumes, the save operation
automatically stops.
If the /DS option function (see “Saving Data to the CF Card” in section 5.1) is enabled,
saving of measured data to the CF card is linked to recording on the PC, even if
communication is disconnected.
To manually stop the operation, press the access stop switch (see “Ejecting the CF Card”
in section 2.8) located above the CF card slot on the main module.
The table below shows the interval (a guideline) over which data can be saved to the CF
card when one type of measurement interval is used.
* The time from the point when the communication between the PC and MX100 is
disconnected and acquisition of measured data is stopped to the point when data storage to
the CF card starts.

File Structure and Saved Channels

A file is created on the CF card for every measurement interval. The measurement
interval is the one specified as the monitor interval under Measurement Group in the
Acquisition Conditions screen of the MX100 Standard Software (not the recording
interval).
Measurement groups of the same monitoring interval are saved to the same file.
The channels saved to the file are those whose Monitor check boxes are selected in
the Channel screen (not those whose Record check boxes are selected). For other
specifications relating to saving of data, see “Data Storage” in section 4.2.
1-12 IM MX100-01E
Precautions When Using the CF Card 1

On the MX100, measured data can only be saved to the CF card (backed up) when
recording of measured data to the PC via communications is turned OFF (unless the /DS
option function is active). In this case, saving of data to the CF card presumes that the 2
following conditions are met.
• Checking the CF Card Status

Before starting recording, check that the CF card is inserted into the slot, the
3
installation status is “Exists,” and that “Usable” is “Yes.”
When using the MX100 Standard Software, check that the Status display under CF
Card Information in the System screen is “Exists (Usable).” See “Explanation” in 4
section 2.2 of the MX100 Standard Software User’s Manual (IMMX180-01E).
When using the API for MX100/DARWIN, check the installation status and usability by
sending the status request command (getStatusDataMX). 5
Note
• If data saving has been restored after being disabled, due to a media-related error, check
Index
that the installation status is “Exists,” and that Usable is “Yes.”
• If the CF card is inserted during recording and the installation status is “Exists” but Usable is
“No,” data cannot be saved (example 3 in the CF card operation diagram below).
• Operation of the CF Card

If you press the access stop switch (see “Ejecting the CF Card” in section 2.8) during
recording, data is not saved to the CF card even if communication is disconnected.

Log File Storage

In addition to the measured data that is saved when the communication with the PC is
disconnected, a log file of information related to the CF card operation and information of
power ON/OFF is saved to the CF card in text format (MX100MLG.TXT). The maximum
size of the log file is 40 KB. Up to 1021 events can be stored. When 1021 events are
exceeded, the event is deleted in order from the oldest information. The log is written
(overwritten to the same file name) to the CF card when you press the access stop
switch (see “Ejecting the CF Card” in section 2.8).
Information Saved to the Log File

• Date/Time when the power is turn ON or OFF.
• Date/Time when the CF card is inserted or ejected.
• Save mode when data is saved (backup) and the start/stop log.
• The file creation and deletion log.
• Media-related errors.
• The CF card formatting log.

Measurement Synchronization
Each input channel has its own A/D converter. Therefore, measurements on each
channel are synchronized.
Common Mode Voltage

The common mode voltage between channels in a single module is 250 VACrms when
the signal is applied continuously.
The common mode voltage between modules and between a module and earth is 600
VACrms when the signal is applied continuously.

*1 If the measurement interval is 100 ms, burnout detection is carried out on a single channel during
one measurement interval. Therefore, when starting measurement during the burnout condition or
thereafter, burnout can be detected for up to 10 measurements (approximately 1 second).
*2 Since the power supply frequency noise is not rejected, the measured vales may fluctuate especially
with temperature measurement. In such cases, set the measurement interval to 500 ms or higher, or
use the 4-CH, High-Speed Universal Input Module.
The module is equipped with a single A/D converter, and measurement is made
sequentially. Therefore, measurements of each channel are not synchronized.

Initial Balancing (Initial Unbalance Value Adjustment)

When configuring a bridge circuit with a strain gauge, the bridge circuit will not
necessarily be balanced even if the strain of the circuit under test is zero due to the slight
deviation in resistance of the strain gauge, and the measured value may not be zero (the
value in such cases is called the initial unbalanced value.)
Therefore, when taking measurements you must first balance the bridge and, if the strain
is zero, obtain a measured value of zero. This is called initial balancing (setting the initial
unbalanced value to zero).
Measured value
Initial balance
Initial unbalanced value

Strain
0
Reset
With the MX100, initial balancing is performed in the ±10000 µ strain range.
Initial balance: The value when the command is executed is taken as the initial
unbalanced value, and the measured value is set to zero.
Reset: The value set during initial balancing is reset to zero. The initial
unbalanced value is used as-is for the measured value.
Note
If the measuring range is changed, the initial balancing is reset.
After a range change, you must redo initial balancing.

Scaling Settings When Using a Strain Gauge Type Sensor 1

The following is an explanation of scaling settings used when measuring physical
quantities such as load and length with a strain gauge type sensor.
2
The basic relational expression is as follows.
1 mV/V = 2000 µstrain (Equation 1)

3
Two examples are given below: 1) when rated input and output are listed in the user’s
manual of the strain gauge type sensor, and 2) when listed with the calibration coefficient.
(Hereinafter, “µstrain” will be expressed as “µStr.”) 4
When Rated Input and Rated Output Are Given

A specific example is given below. 5
• Rated input 200 N (set to Y)
• Rated output 0.985 mV/V (set to K)
Index
In this case, these figures indicate that if a 200 N load is applied, 0.985 mV/V is output.
From the relationship in equation 1, if 200 N is applied,

an output of 0.985 mV/V=0.985 × 2000=1970 µStr is attained.
In other words, for each 1 N, 1970 µStr/200 N= 9.85 µStr/N is output.

Therefore, the scaling settings are entered as follows.
When Measuring at 50-150 N

Scale minimum: 50 (set to Smin)
Scale maximum: 150 (units: N) (set to Smax)
therefore,
Span minimum: 50 × 9.85 µStr/N = 492.5 µStr

Span maximum: 150 × 9.85 =1477.5 µStr
can be set.
Thus, the measuring range is 2000 µStr.
Generally, the range is as follows.

Using the symbols that have appeared in the explanation thus far, after setting the scale
maximum and minimum, the values are as follows.
Span minimum = [(K(mV/V) × 2000) / Y(unit)] × Smin ([µ]Str)

Span maximum = [(K(mV/V) × 2000) / Y(unit)] × Smax ([µ]Str)
IM MX100-01E 1-25
When Listed at the Calibration Coefficient

An example is given with a displacement gauge.
• Rated input: 20 mm
• Calibration coefficient: 0.003998 mm / (1 µV/V)
Basically, if you can convert the calibration coefficient to the rated output mentioned in
“When Rated Input and Rated Output Are Listed,”the following is a calculation following
the explanation in “When Rated Input and Rated Output Are Listed.”
Using equation 1,
1 µV/V = 0.001 µV/V = 0.001 × 2000 µStr = 2 µStr
therefore the rated output with this sensor when 20 mm is input would be
20 mm ÷ [0.003998 mm/2 [µ]Str] = 10005 µStr
In other words, for each 1 mm, an output of

10005 µStr / 20 mm = 500.25 [µ]Str/mm
can be obtained.
Thereafter in the same manner, if you wish to measure with a scale of 2 mm to 15 mm,
the settings are:
Scale minimum: 2
Scale maximum: 15 (units: mm)
therefore,
Span minimum: 2 × 500.25 µStr/mm = 1000.5 µStr
Span maximum: 15 × 500.25 µStr/mm = 7503.75 µStr
would be appropriate settings.
The measuring range becomes 20000 µStr, making the resolution on the MX100 1 mStr,
therefore we can round as follows.
Span minimum: 1001 µStr

Span maximum: 7504 µStr
Compensation When the Gauge Factor Differs

If the gauge factor of the gauge being used differs from 2.00, it can be compensated
using the following method.
The relationship between the true strain (s) and the measured strain (si)
is:
εi = 2.00/Ks × εi
Ks: Gauge factor of the gauge used
Given this, set the following using the scaling function.

Measurement Span Scale
Minimum value Maximum value Minimum value Maximum value
X Y 2.00/Ks × X 2.00/Ks × Y
Ex.: for a gauge factor of 2.1,

• Take Proper Care When Carrying the Instrument
First, turn off the DUT and the MX100 and remove all cables including measurement
wires and communication cables. Then, remove the power cord from the outlet. Index
• To prevent internal overheating, do not obstruct the vent holes of the module.
• This instrument uses many plastic parts. When cleaning, wipe using a dry soft cloth.
Do not clean with benzine, thinner, or other chemicals, and do not use detergents.
Doing so can cause discoloring, deformation, or damage.
• Do not bring charged objects near the signal terminals. Doing so can lead to
malfunction.
• Do not pour volatile agents on the MX100 or leave it in contact with rubber or PVC
products for an extended time. Doing so can lead to malfunction.
• Do not apply shock to the instrument.
• When not in use, make sure to turn OFF the power.
• If there are any symptoms of trouble such as smoke, strange odors, or strange sounds
coming from the instrument, immediately turn OFF the power and stop the power
supply. Contact your dealer immediately.
• Do not damage the power cord.
Nothing should be placed on top of the power cord. The power cord should also be
kept away from any heat sources. When unplugging the power cord from the outlet,
never pull by the cord itself. Always hold and pull by the plug. If the cord is damaged,
contact your dealer for replacement. Refer to “Checking the Contents of the Package”
in the MX100 Data Acquisition Unit Operation Guide (IM MX100-02E) for the part
number of the appropriate power cord when placing an order.

General Precautions When Wiring the Input/Output Signal Wires 1
WARNING 2
• To prevent the possibility of electric shock when wiring, confirm that the power

supply source and signal source are turned OFF. After making the connections,
secure the terminal cover and do not touch the terminals with your hands. 3
• For signal wires on which voltage exceeding 30 VAC/60 VDC is applied relative
to the ground potential or between signals, use reinforced (double) insulation
wires. For all other signal wires, use basic insulation wires. For the withstand 4
voltage of insulation wires, see the table below.
Applied Voltage (Vrms or VDC) Basic Insulation Double (Reinforced) Insulation
30 (60 VDC)-100 620 V rms 1000 V rms 5
101-150 840 V rms 1400 V rms
151-300 1390 V rms 2300 V rms
301-600 2210 V rms 3700 V rms
• To avoid electric shock when removing the terminal block and terminal plate for
Index
wiring, be sure to attach the terminal block and terminal plate to the input/output
module before inputting or outputting signals. Electric shock or fire can result if
signals are applied to the terminals when the terminal block is removed from the
input/output modules.
• When wiring to screw terminals, use insulation coated crimp-on lugs on the
terminals (4 mm screws on the screw terminal block, and 3 mm screws on the
screw terminals and screw terminal plate). Use round crimp-on lugs that do not
come out when loose.
• To prevent fire, use signal wires with a temperature rating in the table below or
higher.
Module Type Temp. Rating
Screw terminal block 75°C
Universal input module, DCV/TC/DI input module, 80°C
four-wire RTD resistance input module, strain input module,
digital input module, and digital output module
Analog output module, PWM output module 85°C
CAUTION
• If a large pulling force is applied to the input/output signal wires connected to the
MX100, the terminal or signal wire may break. To prevent this from happening,
fix all the wiring cables to the installation panel.
• Wiring of the Strain Input Module (-NDI)
When connecting a bridge head, in order that the empty weight of the cable
does not exceed 5 kg, ensure that the cable does not hang down more than 1.5
m (the distance to the floor). If it does, secure the cable to the installation panel
or some other location.
• Do not apply a voltage exceeding the value indicated below to the input
terminals of the input module. The module may become damaged.

• The MX100 is a measurement category II (IEC61010-1) and installation

category II (CSA1N.61010-1) instrument.
Consider the points indicated below to prevent noise from entering the measurement
circuit. For a description of the measures against noise on the MX100, see section 2.7.
• Keep the measurement circuit away from the power supply cable (power supply
circuit) and ground circuit.
• It is desirable that the object under measurement is not a noise source. However, if
this is not avoidable, insulate the object under measurement and the measurement
circuit. In addition, ground the object under measurement.
• Shielded wires are effective against noise caused by electrostatic induction. As
necessary, connect the shield to the ground terminal of the MX100 (make sure this
does not lead to grounding at two points).
• Twisting the measurement circuit wires at short intervals is relatively effective against
noise caused by electromagnetic induction.
• Make sure to ground the protective ground terminal through a small grounding
resistance (less than or equal to 100 Ω).
When using the reference junction compensation of the MX100 through thermocouple
input, take measures to stabilize the temperature at the terminal section.
• Always close and secure the terminal cover.
• Do not use thick wires with high heat radiation effects (cross-sectional area of 0.5
mm2 or smaller recommended).
• Keep the ambient temperature consistent. Large temperature fluctuations occur in
such cases as when a fan nearby is turned ON/OFF.
Connecting the input wires in parallel with other instruments may mutually affect
the measured values.
If you need to make a parallel connection:
• Turn OFF burnout.
• Ground each instrument at a single common point.
• Do not turn ON/OFF the instrument while measurement is in progress. It may cause
adverse affects on the other instrument.
Note that RTDs and resistors cannot be connected in parallel.

2.7 Measures against Noise on the MX100
Technical Information described below on measures against noise is available
as reference material. For information on obtaining a copy, contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA dealer.
• Noise Interference on Recorder (TI 4D5B1-80E)
Describes the fundamentals concerning noise and its countermeasures in two parts:
basic edition and application edition.
• MX100 Performance Specifications (TI 04M08B01-00E)
Describes in detail the functions related to noise rejection specific to the MX100.
This section briefly describes the integrating A/D converter and the first-order lag filter
that the MX100 employs as measures against noise.
Integrating A/D Converter

MX100 input modules employ an integrating A/D converter for converting the measured
analog signals into digital signals. The integrating A/D converter integrates the measured
values at the specified time width. If the specified time width matches the period of the
signal you wish to reject, the signal is rejected.
Cancelled out
Input voltage
(instantaneous value)
DC voltage (average value)

Integration time
For example, if the integration time is 20 ms, signals having frequencies of 50 Hz and
integer multiples of 50 Hz can be rejected. Likewise, if the integration time is 16.67 ms,
signals having frequencies of 60 Hz and integer multiples of 60 Hz can be rejected. If
the integration time is 100 ms, signals having 10 Hz and integer multiples of 10 Hz can
be rejected. The commercial power supply is one of the noise sources. By setting these
integration times, commercial power noise of 50 Hz or 60 Hz can be eliminated.
2-24 IM MX100-01E
On the MX100, the integral time is determined by the measurement interval setting as 1
shown in the table below.

Calibration of Temperature Measurements using Thermocouples 1

Required Instruments
• DC voltage/current standard
Must meet the following specifications (5520A by FLUKE or equivalent) 2
Output accuracy: ±(0.005% + 1 µV) or less

Reference Junction Compensation of Thermocouple Input
The input terminal section of the input modules is normally near room temperature, so
that the actual thermocouple output differs from the 0°C reference thermoelectromotive 5
table value. Modules able to measure temperature with thermocouples can be
compensated by measuring the temperature of the input terminal and adding the
corresponding thermoelectromotive force to the actual thermocouple output. Therefore Index
with the measurement terminal shorted (equivalent to an edge detection of 0°C), the
measured value indicates the temperature of the input terminal.
When calibrating modules capable of temperature measurements using thermocouples,
it is necessary to apply input from a DC standard voltage current generator with this
compensation voltage subtracted (the electromotive force of the 0°C standard that is
equivalent to the temperature of the input terminal). As in the figure, when performing
reference junction compensation at 0°C using a 0°C standard temperature device, you
can perform the calibration by inputting the 0°C standard electromotive force from a DC
standard voltage/current generator.

• Unlike the range calibration of DC voltage or RTD, the input section cannot be adjusted
for calibration of temperature measurement on the MX100 using a thermocouple. If
accuracy specifications are not upheld after calibration of temperature measurement using
thermocouples (see sections 4.4 through 4.6), check for input error and other factors, then
contact your Yokogawa dealer.
• If errors exist in the thermocouple wires and extension wires, correct calibration is not
possible. Be sure to use a calibrated thermocouple.

Computation
Computation performed on the main module
Difference comp. between channels:
Difference computation between arbitrary channels (DC voltage,
thermocouple, RTD, DI, strain, resistance, and scaling)
Linear scaling: Possible scaling ranges: DC voltage, thermocouple, RTD, DI, strain,
and resistance
Scaling range: –30000 to 30000
Scaling display range: –32000 to 32000
Decimal point position: Arbitrary
4-2 IM MX100-01E
Linear scaling accuracy: 1

Linear scaling accuracy (digits)
= Measurement accuracy (digits) × expansion rate + 2 digits
(rounded up to the decimal place) 2
Note that the expansion rate = scaling span (digits) /
measurement span (digits)
(Ex.) M easuring range: 6 VDC (integral time of 16.67 ms or 3
more)
Measurement span: 1.000 to 5.000 V,
Scaling span: For a setting of 0.000 to 2.000 4
The measuring accuracy for 5.000 V input is as follows
according to the expression above.
Specification
± {(0.05% × 5.000 V + 2 digits) × (2000 / 4000) + 2 digits} 5
= ± {(0.0025 V + 2 digits) × 0.5 + 2 digits}
= ± 4.25
≈ 5 digits (rounded up to the decimal place) Index
Thus the measuring accuracy when scaling = ± 5 digits
Remote RJC
When the item to be measured is located at a great distance, you can setup relay
terminals near the item, measure between the relay terminal and the input terminal of
the input module (reference channel) using thermocouples, and use the resultant value
as the reference junction compensation of the temperature measurement. However, the
same thermocouple type is used for reference channels and measured channels.
Alarms
Alarms available on the main module (active even when communication is
disconnected)*1
Alarm types: Upper limit, lower limit, differential upper limit, and differential
lower limit
Number of settings: 4 levels per channel
Alarm setting range: DCV, thermocouple, RTD, DI, strain, resistance, and scaling
Hysteresis: Sets the hysteresis width of the alarm occurrence/release.
No. of alarm outputs: 10 to 60 (10 points per DO module)
Output mode: Alarm, manual*2, Fail, Error
*1 When connected to PC software, the upper/lower limit alarm and
upper/lower limit on rate-of-change alarms of computation channels
can be performed.
*2 At least 100 ms is required for the response time to detect changes
in output.
The “and” logic cannot be used with the MX100 Standard
Software.
Data Storage
Saves measured data to the CF card on the main module if communication is
disconnected while recording measured data on the PC.
Supported external media:
CF card (up to 2 GB)
Save start condition: When the timeout time elapses after the communication is
disconnected during recording of measured data on the PC
(the timeout time refers to the time from the point when the
communication between the PC and MX100 is disconnected and
acquisition of measured data is stopped to the point when data
storage to the CF card starts; the setting is 60 s)
IM MX100-01E 4-3
Save mode: The following two modes are available for the save operation
when communication is disconnected.
Rotary:
In this mode, the most recently measured data is retained. Saving
is carried out while securing free space. When new files are
created, data files are saved while up to 30 files are deleted in
order starting from the file with the oldest time stamp in the root
directory (subdirectories are not applicable). Deleted data are not
necessarily MX100 files. If free space cannot be secured, or when
securing of free space takes extended time, an error is indicated
on the 7-segment LED (see “Media-Related Errors” in section 3.1).
FullStop:
In this mode, the oldest measured data is retained. Stops saving
when there is no more free space on the CF card.
Status detection: There are two types of statuses.
CF card inserted: Yes/No, CF card usable: Yes/No
• When the CF card is not inserted:
Inserted: No, Use: No
• When the CF card is inserted:
Inserted: Yes, Use: Yes
• When an error occurrs*:
Inserted: Yes, Use: No
• After pressing the access stop switch **:
Inserted: Yes, Use: No
* If a media-related error occurs and the card can no longer be used,
further data storage is stopped. To clear this condition, press the
access stop switch (see section 2.8) and eject the CF card. Check
the contents of the CF card and log file on the PC, and insert the
CF card again.
** If you press the access stop switch and the card can no longer be
used, further data storage (excluding the creation of a log file) is
stopped. The status is automatically cleared the next time recording
is started.
Timeout time: Initial value 60 s (settings can be changed using the MX100/
DARWIN API (sold separately))
To save the data so that no dropouts occur, the timeout time*
must be set appropriately. If the setting is inappropriate, an error
is indicated on the 7-segment LED (see “Media-Related Errors” in
section 3.1), and the data storage is not performed.
* Timeout time setting (guideline)
Timeout time [s] < 2 [MB]/(data size per second) – 20 [s]
Data size per second is the total for all measurement intervals.
Data size per second for each measurement interval = Time 16
[bytes] + (measured value 4 [bytes] × the number of channels)/
measurement interval [s]
(Ex.)
Measurement interval: 10 ms (1 type), no. of channels: 60
Data size = (16 bytes + (4 bytes × 60))/0.01 [s]) = 25600 [bytes]
Thus, the timeout time is
(2 [MB] / 25600 [bytes]) – 20 [s] = 61.9 [s] > 60 [s]
Saved channels: Measurement channels monitored on the PC
(not channels set for recording)
Save interval: 60 s (automatically saves using the timeout time as the save interval)
File size: Approx. 5 MB/file (for a file with minimum measurement interval)
Data size per channel: 4 bytes

Guarantee of data during power failure:
Specification
Writing up to immediately before the power failure is guaranteed 5
(saving (backup) does not continue after the power failure
recovers).
Equation for calculating the size of the saved file:
Index
Size of the saved file (bytes) = header size*1 + (data size*2 x write
count*3)
*1 Header size = file information + channel information × number of
saved channels
File information: S1, S2: 416 [bytes], S3: 424 [bytes]
Channel Information: S1: 176 [bytes], S2: 184 [bytes], S3: 232 [bytes]
*2 Data size = 4 [bytes] x the number of saved channels x sample count
Sample count = Save interval [s]/measurement interval [s]
*3 Write count = ((5 [MB] - header size)/(data size)) or less
(truncated to an integer)
(Ex.) Measurement interval: 10 ms, number of measurement channels:
24 ch, style number S3
Header size = 424 [bytes] + 232 [bytes] × 24 = 5992 [bytes]
Data size = 4 [bytes] × 24 × (60 [s]/0.01 [s]) = 576000 [bytes]
Write count = (5 × 1024 × 1024 − 5992 [bytes])/576000 [bytes]
= 9.1 (= approx. 9)
Thus, the file size is:
(5992 [bytes]) + (576000 [bytes] × 9) = 5189992 [bytes]
Guideline of the sample time for the different CF card sizes (when one type of
measurement interval is used):

Chapter 5 Dual Save Functions (/DS Option)
5.1 Overview of Functions 1
The following functions are added when the /DS option functions are enabled. For the 2
interval (guideline) of saving of data to the CF card, see “Saving Data to the CF Card” in
section 1.2.
• Operation mode retention function 3
• Saving data to the CF card (Dual Save function)
• Measurement and recording start/stop function (data acquisition using only the
MX100) 4
Operation Mode Retention Function
When the power is turned ON, the operation mode last active before the power was cut 5
is automatically restored.
Dual Save Functions (/DS Option)

When automatic recovery is performed, after the self-check completes, [ ] is
displayed on the 7-segment LED for 0.3 seconds. Index
Saving data to the CF Card

Transmission of measured data to the PC via communications and saving of measured
data to the CF card in the main module can be carried out simultaneously.
The standard function saves data to the CF card only if communication with the PC
is disconnected during recording by the PC software. With the Dual Save function,
measured data is saved to the CF card during recording by the PC software.
Starting and Stopping Measurement and Recording

In situations where the MX100 cannot be connected to a PC, this function can be used to
acquire data on the MX100 by itself. You can start and stop measurement and saving of
data to the CF card by holding down the CF card control switch (access stop switch) for
five seconds (hereinafter referred to as 5s-SW).
Start time: Starts saving to the CF card one second after measurement starts.
Stop time: Saves data to the CF card up to the moment measurement stops.

5.2 Explanation of Functions
The PC software programs referred to in this section are the MX100 Standard Software
and MXLOGGER (sold separately). In the explanatory figures provided, Idle, Measure,
and Backup refer to idling mode, measurement mode, and backup mode respectively,
and AlarmDO refers to alarm output (see “Alarms” in section 1.2).
Operation Mode Retention Function

When the power is turned ON, the operation mode last active before the power was cut
is automatically restored. During backup mode, the instrument returns to measurement
mode, and then transitions to backup mode after 1 second.
Idle (idling mode):
A wait mode in which no measurement takes place. Alarms are also not detected.
Measure (measurement mode):
Measurement and alarm detection are performed, and data is not saved to the CF
card.
Backup (backup mode):
Measurement, alarm detection, and saving of data to the CF card are performed.

Saving data to the CF Card 1

Transmission of measured data to the PC via communications and saving of measured
data to the CF card in the main module can be carried out simultaneously.
The standard function saves data to the CF card only if communication with the PC 2
is disconnected during recording by the PC software. With the Dual Save function,
measured data is saved to the CF card during recording by the PC software.
This function is also available when programming applications with the MX100/DARWIN 3
API (use in combination with the “Backup”recording command and the “GetData”data
acquisition command).

Note
Under normal functionality, saving of data to the CF card is for backup when communications
are disconnected. The following shows the operation. 5

Operation When the CF Card Is Inserted 1

CF Write (Data Write Timing):
The timing at which data is written to a file (CF File) on the CF card. Starting
with the second write operation (append), the operation is timed according to the 2
save interval. The write count is the count at which the file reaches 5 MB when
measuring at the shortest measurement interval. When the count is reached the file
closes, and a new file is created upon the next write operation. You can choose a 3
file creation mode of Rotary or FullStop mode (see “Data Storage” in section 4.2).
Info (File Information):
Files have numbers and start/stop conditions. You can access this information 4
using the PC software’s Viewer function.
