JUXTA M Series Computing Units

M Series computing units include a type that supports user-specified programs, and types that support analog memory, peak/bottom holders, moving averages, dead times, temperature/pressure compensation, and a wide range of other applications.

Details

The M Series, plug-in style and microprocessor based computing unit receives DC current or DC voltage signals, applies various computing functions to them, and then converts them into isolated DC current or DC voltage signals. Three models of MXD, MXS, MXT covering 23 mathematical functions allow wide applications. Various parameters such as input range and computation programs can be set and modified using a PC (VJ77). Using industry standard pin configurations, anyone can upgrade to JUXTA performance by just plugging one in.

  • Universal Computing unit Free programmable type and fixed computation (Moving average, Dead time, 1st-order lag/lead, Linearizer, Ratio setting, etc.) type are available for almost every application.
  • Field configuration A field configuration of input range, computation program, etc. are possible from your PC (withVJ77 PC-based parameters setting tool).
  • Equipped with two isolated current outputs (MXS)
  • 3 inputs for one computing unit (MXT) Temperature/pressure compensation for 3 inputs per one computing unit is realized by abundant variable parameters.
  • Analog output signal and integrated pulse signal are available (MXD).
  • Universal range of input and output signals
  • Plug-in type construction Easy for instrumentation planning, field wiring and maintenance because of its flexible insertion/extraction and ability to be pre-wired.
  • Power supply voltage is either 12 to 48 V DC or 85 to 264 V AC.

Overview:

Weir-type flow volume calculation using the M series Free Programmable MXS (or VJXS) Computing Units

Overview:

This describes a rainfall pulse integration that uses an M series computing unit MXT (XJJM.511) free program. The XJJM.511 hardware is a computing unit with 3 isolated inputs and 1 output. There is 1 analog input, 2 digital inputs, and 1 analog output. The rain gauge's unit rainfall pulses are integrated and sent to the analog output (e.g. 1–5 VDC). The output rainfall integral value is 0% for a count of 0, and 100% for a count of 100. When the rainfall integral value reaches 100%, 100% is output for 1 second, and then the integral value returns to 0%. The maximum value of the rain integration can be changed on the VJ77 or other device.

Overview:

This introduces use of a contact input multiplication/addition computing unit that employs a user program of the MXT computing unit (XJJM.507) on fluid mixture and other calculated measurement outputs from flow meters. The figure below shows examples of connecting various field instruments to an upstream system.

Differential pressure: choose the MXT-R or WTXx-R computing unit. Vortex: choose the MXT-T or WXTx-T computing unit.
Do any models support ASTEM correction?
(ns-faq-juxta-11026-select)
None support it completely, but if you can identify the fuel type you can use an MTX-A user program. When changing the type, change the correction curve.

Check whether the key lock is engaged. If LOC = 1 or 2, set LOC = 0 with the SET/ENTER key, then enter setup parameters while LOC = -1.
Usually these are in the orifice specifications. Depending on the product, it may be listed with the normal operating pressure and temperature.
Not necessarily. The socket itself can be reused, but the terminal arrangement may differ depending on the specifications. Check the switch on the back of the MA1W to determine whether power is supplied to the transmitter. If the switch for supply of...

Can I change the burnout operation?
(ns-faq-juxta-11001-spec)
This is possible if it is a microprocessor type converter. You will need a handy terminal to make the change. (VJR6, VJT6, VJS2, MR6, MT6, MS2, and others cannot be changed.)

Can I change the range on the MQ0?
(ns-faq-juxta-11004-spec)

What are the merits of plugin conditioners?
(ns-faq-juxta-11007-select)
They have the following advantages: Because you can separate the conditioner from the socket, panel work can proceed even without the conditioner. You can remove or replace the conditioner simply by plugging a new one in, so maintenance is easy. ...
The resistance is 250 Ω (4–20 mADC). However some computing units also have 100 Ω input.
You specify it for current pulse input. The resistance you specify depends on the specifications of the transmitter (mainly the rated current of the open collector). The internal load resistances are 200 Ω, 500 Ω, and 1 kΩ, and 0.5 ...
For example, if the specification of the open collector on the output side is 30 V/30 mA, use an internal load resistance of 1 kΩ (with a 24 V transmitter power supply). This results in a 0/24 mA current pulse.
IPTS-68: This is an international standard from 1968 where R100/R0=1.3850 that was used by the JIS from 1989 to 1997, but currently it is not in use. ITS90: An international standard from 1990 where R100/R0=1.3851, and used by the JIS from 1997 to th...
The input impedance of typical voltage input type instruments is 1 MΩ. By contrast, the allowable load impedance for voltage output is 2 kΩ or more, therefore the maximum number of units that can be connected is 500.
The input impedance of typical current input type instruments is 250 MΩ. By contrast, the allowable load impedance for current output is 750 kΩ or more, therefore the maximum number of units that can be connected is 3.
What does response speed **ms(10-90%) mean?
(ns-faq-juxta-11019-other)
It means the time until the output reaches 63% when input is applied in 10 Ω 90% steps.
A 90% response time is equivalent to 2.3 times the duration of a 63% response time.
What does "time constant" mean?
(ns-faq-juxta-11021-term)
In the case of conditioners, time constant reflects the response speed. In terms of a transfer function, it is expressed as OUT=INΩ(1-e EXP(-t/T)). OUT: output, IN: input, e: natural log, T: time constant, t: elapsed time When the elapsed time...
The total resistance ≥ zero side resistance + span resistance.
What is the output on burnout?
(ns-faq-juxta-11023-spec)
When UP, 106% of the output range or more; when DOWN, -6% or less.
What happens on a "burnout OFF"?
(ns-faq-juxta-11024-spec)
When input is interrupted it reaches ±OVER, but which of these is uncertain.
The F series has 30 steps. The W series has 40 steps. The M/VJ series has 59 steps.
On the M series you can select 50, 100, or 200 ms. On the F, W, and VJ series you can select 100 or 200 ms. (The VJXS can support 50 ms.)
