TekBook-110 

Our new TekBook-110 will now allow mobile users and field operatives to have access to HCT’s full featured standard graphical user interfaces ( GUI’s ) for specialty and DVC product ranges, making programming, set-up, data-logging and modifications easier, simpler and clearer than ever before.

 

 

The DVC10 is the main control module for all DVC series modules.  This user programmable controller has a large number of inputs and outputs allowing stand-alone operation or it can be the controller for a large CAN Bus system with up to 16 DVC expansion modules (see the DVC System Architecture drawing for available DVC expansion modules).

HCT also offers a DVC7 Programmable Valve Controller, which is our entry level version of the DVC10.

 

Rugged Construction:

¨        Rugged encapsulated enclosure withstands harsh environments commonly found in mobile applications.

¨        All connectors are sealed to withstand extreme conditions in the harsh mobile operating environment.

¨        Operating Temperature:   -40 Celsius to 85 Celsius

¨        Storage Temperature:       -40 Celsius to 85 Celsius

Setup and Installation

¨        User programmable.

¨        Physical Size:                  6.2L” x 4.75W” x 1.65H” encapsulated module.

¨        Each module has two mounting holes 4.0” apart. Mounting hole I.D. is 0.325”.

¨        An RS-232 port is used for programming or monitoring and driving an external display. 

Power Supply:

¨        Rugged power supply operates over the full range 8.5Vdc to 32Vdc.

¨        Reverse polarity protection and transient protection up to 1.5K Watts Peak Pulse Power Dissipation.

¨        Multiple power and ground connector pins available for high current applications.

Inputs:

¨        3 Universal inputs:  -1V to +1V, 0 to +5V, 0 to +10V, 4 to 20 mA., an external potentiometer or pulses.  Mini calculator to determine the minimum and maximum pulses per revolution.  Note: All Universal inputs have 10-bit resolution.

¨        3 analog voltage inputs:  0 to +5V or an external potentiometer input  Note: All analog voltage inputs have 10-bit resolution.

¨        8 digital inputs: All digital inputs are sinking inputs (connect to voltage to turn on). The voltage required to turn on this input is between 3.0Vdc and 32Vdc (see Figure 1). All Digital inputs are connected internally to PWR COM through a series resistor (> 10K ohm).

 

          Note:    Use a Pot Ref output in conjunction with Digital Input when switching the Digital Input to PWR COM instead of switching to a voltage (see Figure 2). The Pot Ref inputs are connected internally to +5Vdc through a 1K ohm series resistor.                  

  

 

Outputs:

The outputs are designed to give the user a great deal of flexibility. The software gives the user the ability to control the sourcing voltage (HS OUT) to the positive side of the coil and control the PWM sinking capability (PWM OUT) to the negative side of the coil.

 

¨        High-Side Outputs (HS Out) – Qty (6):  source (supply) power supply voltage when activated.  Each output is short protected and has open detection. The maximum current capability is 3Amps.

¨        PWM Outputs (PWM Out) – Qty (3):  sink current to ground at a PWM frequency. Each output can be configured for a specified current range for maximum current sensing resolution (10 bit).  See the DVC10 Ordering Guide for typical current ranges. 

¨        Short Circuit Protected and short circuit detection

¨        Current Ranges – Each PWM output can be configured to a specific current range, which will produce the maximum current sensing resolution  for the valve being controlled. (see ordering guide).  

¨        Output Groups – Qty. (3):  Each output group has (2) High-Side outputs and (1) PWM output.

¨        Pot Reference – Qty (6) :  All Universal and Analog inputs have a Pot Reference output.  These outputs are designed to supply a +5Vdc reference to a potentiometer. Each Pot Reference is connected to an internal +5Vdc power supply through a 1K ohm series resistor. All Pot Reference Outputs are protected against shorts to ground and voltages up to +32Vdc.

 

  

Input / Output Functions – Qty (8) There are eight Input / Output Functions that can be programmed individually. The I/O Function gives the user the ability to change the response of the output with the change of the input (see sample screen below). The input and output is based on 0 to 100% (Min. to Max.). Different adjustable points on the response curve give the user full flexibility to control non-linear responses. These functions are adjustable while the controller is running, allowing adjustment of unknown output characteristics.

Communications:

¨        Can Bus 2.0B: – used to communicate to other DVC modules as well as an ECM (engine control module).

¨        RS-232 Serial Port:  used for downloading and uploading software.  Monitoring the functions of the DVC10.  Setting parameters on the fly (fine-tuning). Driving an external display.  Note – Consult factory for compatible displays.

Memory Size:

¨        1M Bytes Flash Memory (up to 100,000 erase/write cycles)

¨        128K Bytes RAM

¨        2K Bytes EEPROM (non-volatile memory) 

Indicators:

¨        Power LED :  (Qty 1) (Green) – Blinks if the power supply voltage is above +30Vdc. Turns off if the power supply voltage drops below +8.0Vdc.

¨        Status  LED :  (Qty 1) (Red) – This LED is programmable and is commonly used for error status or blink codes.

¨        Digital Input Status:  (Qty 8) (Green) – Turns on when the corresponding input is activated. Inputs can be programmed as active high or low.

¨        High-Side Output Driver Status:  (Qty 6) (Green) – Turns on when the corresponding High-side output is activated. Blinks once per second for an open circuit. Blinks four times per second for a short circuit.

¨        PWM Output Driver Status:  (Qty 3) (Red/Green) – This LED displays minimum to maximum current status for the corresponding PWM output. The LED will display from red to green as the current changes from 0% to 100% (50% displaying yellow). 

¨        Module Status (MS)       (Qty 1) (Red / Green)

              Off – There is no power applied to the module.

              On green – The module is operating in a normal condition. 

              Flashing green – Device in standby state. May need commissioning. 

              Flashing red – Recoverable Fault. 

              On red – Module has an unrecoverable fault.

              Flashing Red/Green – Device is in self-test.

¨        Network Status (NS)      (Qty 1) (Red / Green)  

              Off - Device is not on-line.

                 Flashing green – Device is on-line but has not established connection to other nodes.

                 On green – Device is on-line and has established connection to other nodes.

                 Flashing red – One or more connections are in a timed-out state.
