General Information
1.1 Introduction
This User’s Manual will:
! Explain the electrical and pneumatic pressure connections for the Model 9116 Intelligent
Pressure Scanner.
! Provide computer set-up instructions to make a proper Ethernet connection on most
Windows ® 95/98/XP/NT-based personal computers.
! Instruct you on using the PSI start-up software to manipulate and acquire data from each
module.
! Instruct you on how to program each module with computer software.
Model 9116 is a pneumatic Intelligent Pressure Scanner, with integral pressure transducers and
a pneumatic calibration manifold.
The Model 9116 provides engineering unit pressure data with guaranteed system accuracy.
This is achieved by reading factory-determined pressure and temperature engineering-unit data
conversion coefficients from its transducers’ nonvolatile memories at power-up. It also allows
additional adjustment coefficients to be “fine-tuned” with a multi-point calibration under host
control (e.g., possibly utilizing optional Pressure Systems 903x Pressure Calibrator modules).
Model 9116 provides an auto-configuring 10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet communications port.
Half duplex/full duplex operation is also automatically configured. The Model 9116
communicates using the TCP/UDP/IP protocols.
The Model 9116 Intelligent Pressure Scanner is a component of a networked data acquisition
concept called the NetScanner™ System. Multiple NetScanner modules measuring a wide
variety of parameters can be networked to form a distributed intelligent data acquisition system.
