Introduction
The HydroCOM Service & Configuration Software, HSS, is used for data and
status display, service and configuration of following HOERBIGER products:
HydroCOM
RecipCOM (On-line compressor condition monitoring)
ROD-Position Analyzer
The software has three access levels:
Analysis
Service
Configuration
The Analysis level is used for data and status display. At this level user failures do
never cause system failures.
Service is only applicable for those users being in charge of service and
maintenance. In addition to Analysis the necessary functions are available in order
to calibrate sensors and to download the configuration file to the CIU.
Warning!
If the wrong file is downloaded to the CIU the compressor may trip and the
equipment be damaged.
The Configuration level is dedicated for HOERBIGER Service Engineers or
advanced users only. In addition to Service and Analysis you have access to
configure the system.
Warning!
Wrong configuration may cause system failure, compressor trip and even
equipment damages.
Passwords are necessary for logon to Service and Configuration.
The manual is built up in that way, that it is not necessary for all users to work
through the complete document. In the below diagram you find the manual
sections that are applicable for the access level you have.

3.1.1 File
Open
The files generated with HSS have the extension *.su4. These file do not only
contain configuration data, but also calibration data, HydroCOM status and
measurement values at the time when the file was saved.
Use Open for following tasks:
Rework existing configuration file
View configuration
View HydroCOM status and measurements being off-line; HydroCOM status
and measurements are shown from that time when the file was saved.
2012-03-29
Save (as)
Use Save (as) for following tasks:
Saving of the current HydroCOM status and measurements.
Saving of configuration
Saving of calibration data
Note:
After sensor calibration the file must be saved. Otherwise calibration must
be repeated in case hardware components are exchanged.
New
Use New to start a new configuration.
Exit
Use Exit to exit HSS.
3.1.2 Settings
Unit System
Select the unit system before you start configuration. SI, German, English and
American units are available. The unit system is used for assigning measuring
ranges to the sensors during the configuration process. It is not possible to use the
unit system for changing the units for data display. Once units are configured they
can not be varied for data display.
Note:
If the Unit System is changed for an existing configuration all units are
deleted and have to be defined again. If RecipCOM is connected to the CIU
the units must not be changed.
Connection
Use Connection to assign the COM port you are using for communicating with the
CIU.
Available ports: COM 1 to 8
Communication between your PC/Laptop and the CIU is done via RS232. Each
RS232 interface has a COM port number defined by your operating system. In
most cases it is COM 1. The COM port number can be seen in the Windows
operating system. To check the number go to:
Control panel / system / hardware / device manager / connections
Language
You can choose between German and English. If you change the language exit the
HSS and start it again.
Change Password
Service and Configuration menu are password protected. Use Change Password if
you want to change from the default password to your own.
