The SGD 24-M420 is a programmable process meter featuring a 4 - 20 mA analogue input, alarm output and 2.4" TFT colour touchscreen display. Configured using the free PanelPilot M Software for Windows, choose from an ever-increasing number of configurations including bar-graph, tank level, analogue style and trend graphs. Then customize colours, text labels, units and input scaling before uploading to a display via USB.
The SGD 24-M is a PanelPilot Compatible graphics display with a 320 x 240 pixel (QVGA) colour display and USB programming interface. Using the PanelPilot software (available for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10), users are able to choose from an ever-increasing number of configurations (six voltmeters at launch) which can then be customized to their needs. Colours, text labels, splash screen and input scaling can all be customized by the user through the software and then uploaded to the SGD 24-M through the USB connection. Panel or enclosure installation of the display is simple, using a panel fixing clip to mount the display, and 4 screw terminals to connect the inputs.
USB connection
- The SGD 24-M can be powered directly from USB and is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. The screw terminals and advanced connector can remain connected whilst using USB, but it is not necessary for V+ to be powered.
Display
- The display is a 2.4" TFT panel, with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a 16-bit color depth. Any graphics that are uploaded to the meter are automatically converted to this specification. A resistive touchscreen is fitted, for use with supporting applications. Clean the screen with a damp, soft, lint free cloth.
Panel Mounting
- The SGD 24-M can be fitted into panels of up to 3 mm. deep. A silicone seal is included to improve fitting on thin panels, however the maximum panel thickness is reduced to 2 mm. when fitted. Panel cut-out is 74 mm. x 46 mm.
Note:The display is NOT protected against moisture or dust.
Current Loop
Internally the SGD 24-M420 uses a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) to make the best use of available resolution (theoretically there are eight different ranges available to the SGD. However for the 4 - 20 mA application, this is effectively restricted to the 0-2.5 range). The input voltage range is decided using the two voltages that the user enters in the scaling section of the Panel Pilot software.
Advanced Connector
The DIL IDC socket provides an alternative connection method to the screw-terminals (V+, 0V, IN1 and IN2 are duplicated). It also includes provision for future expansion using data buses (SPI and I2C) and alarm ouputs.
