PROGRAMMING
DGM settings can be changed using Smar Config software, you can change tank name, product name, alarms settings,
Relay, strapping table. All the data are written on not volatile Eeprom inside DGM.
The software doesn’t need installation, just copy the executable on your pc.
Use J3 RS232 cable to connect DGM with the pc.
If the unit is turned off, not connected or the wrong serial port set, you will see the following screen:

In these cases check the communication port number assigned to the pc and that no other applications are using the same
port. When the connection is correct and all the settings either, the program will automatically load all the settings and
showing them on the screen. From here you can also choose the application language, Italian or english.

Channels Select channel 1 as DGM LCD can handle only one channel.

description Tank description shown on the DGM display, es: DIESEL 01

S.N. Address Unique Serial number, one for each DGM.

Product select product type contained in the tank

* Tot.Capacity total capacity of the tank, in liters, this information comes from the strapping table.

* Tank height tank height in millimeters, this information comes from the strapping table.

Important: total capacity value and tank height value cannot be set manually, they are set by the last two values of
the strapping table stored in the DGM.

Offset Product float offset (-30000 +30000 mm): measurement unit in m, 1mm absolute resolution.
Used to align the value of the height of the float of the product in the tank.

Zero Water Water float offset (30000 mm): measurement unit in m, 1mm absolute resolution, under the
specified value the height water value read by the float is zero.

ALARMS DEFINITION

 Digimon LCD rev.00 2014/04 - ENG

In the alarm section it is possible to set various alarm trip point for each level probe.

Alarm HH very high alarm point in mm/inc.

Alarm H high alarm point in mm/inc.
Alarm L low alarm point in mm/inc
Alarm LL very low alarm point in mm/inc.
Alarm Water presence of water alarm point in mm/inc.

RELE’ DEFINITION

In this section it is possible to select the activation function of relay from 1 to 4.

The relay can be managed one by one for each channel or groups, one relay for multiple channel.

ES:
Relay N1 Channel 1 low alarm

Relay N1 Channel 1-2-3-4 low alarm

WRITE DATA TO UNIT

This button is used to store data in the DGM.

STRAPPING TABLE
The console has the facility to calculate the volume starting from the height as linear interpolation between two near points.
In order to do that operation the strapping table (correspondence mm – lt) must be downloaded into the console.
It is necessary to follow few rules in order to download correctly the table into the console:

 Values in millimeters/inches and liters/gallons

 Maximum number of points: 250
 Numbers with decimals have to be written with a dot ( . ) and not with a comma.
 Table has to be written in Excel or Note Pad and saved as .csv or .txt.

The .csv format allows to save the data filled into the Excel table separating them with semicolon symbol ( ; ).
Opening .csv file with Note Pad it will be possible to read data as per the example shown below. Otherwise it is possible to
complete the table manually into program Note Pad separating the values with semicolons.

00000;00000
00020;00100
00040;00200
00060;00300
……..;……..
04940;24700
04960;24800
04980;24900
05000;25000 In this example the total capacity is 25.000 and the total height is 5.000.

After saving the strapping table as shown, clilck on “read data from device” button
and follow the instruction.
Click “write table on device” button to load strapping table in DGM.
Follow the screen instruction until the process ends.
