3.1 Installation

Handling
WARNING
The electrostatic discharges may damage semi-conducive devices within the module, if the
connector pins are in contact with the backplane.

Please note the following precautions to avoid electrostatic damages:

• You should handle the module from the front side, as far as possible from the backplane
connectors.

• You should never touch the pins of the backplane connector.

• You should keep the module in its antistatic bag or packaging box, when unused.

Module Location within the Backplane

All modules must be installed always in vertical position.

When using a power supply such as the SM_PS or SM_PS40 module, it must be located in the
position 1 (slot1 left-hand side). In redundant-power supply configurations, there must be two
reserved positions for the two power supply modules. These positions must be 1 and 2.

Remaining modules can be located in any position (slot) within the chassis.

Figure 8 – Backplane positions

Modules must be grouped to minimize the adverse effects caused by noise and heat, therefore,
modules, and more specifically the CPU modules, must be placed as far as possible from the
modules which operate at alternating currents or high currents.
If the system has redundant CPUs, both control modules must be put together in the backplane

Power Supply Requirements

WARNING
The voltage input for the backplane is 5.4 ± 0.2 VDC. The external voltage input isn't protected
against overvoltage nor polarity inversion, so an incorrect wiring or an incorrect adjustment of
the supply voltage could damage electronic.

The SM_PS and SM_PS40 modules (power-supplies) are scalable to supply power to the modules
connected to the backplane, as required. When using auxiliary power supplies, it is necessary to
scale them depending on the installed Saitel DP modules.

Pag 21
10/12/2019 User Manual – SM_AI16

The consumption of all modules will be added plus a safety margin (between 20% and 50% of the
full power). The power supply efficiency typically, 70 - 90% shall also be considered, in order to
protect the chassis and power supply from overloading.
The maximum power requirement for each SM_AI16 module is: 2.4 W.

Mounting Procedure
To mount the module in the backplane, please follow the following instructions:

• Switch off the backplane’s power supply.

• Mount the module at the desired position within the backplane and verify that the rear rails are
properly mounted using the pre-drilled holes on the backplane.

• Firmly press the module to assure the connector fits in the backplane connector properly.
Check whether the module is correctly mounted to the backplane base.

• Fix the module to the backplane using the screw located at the top.

• Insert the terminal or flat ribbon connectors.

Configuration Switches
The module’s identification and Profibus communication speed can be set using the microswitches
on the module's rear panel. Each microswitch has the following functions:

Figure 9 – Profibus switches for module configuration

The module’s identification must be unique, selecting between 1 and 96 using microswitches 1 to
7. The address 0 and from 97 to 127 are reserved and never can be assigned. In other case,
several messages are generated when the system boot.
The address definition will be as follows:
P1*20 + P2*21 + P3*22 + P4*23 + P5*24 + P6*25 + P7*26
Assuming Px is the value assigned to the position of microswitch x (0 is OFF and 1 is ON). For
example, if switches 2, 4 and 5 are in the ON position, the Profibus address of the module is 26.
The Profibus communication speed must be the same for all Saitel DP modules, which is
determined by the speed of the master, configured by software, in the control module. The speed is
set using microswitches 9, 10 and 11 as shown in the following table:

Figure 16 – Create a new RTU

Pressing button next to the graphical of the backplane, you can add, remove or change the I/O
modules included on the default configuration.
Figure 17 – Modify the I/O modules

The user needs understand some basic concepts about Saitel DP before configuring the
acquisition:
1. An Backplane is a set of I/O modules connected to a CPU and a Power Supply.
2. An SM is a Saitel DP input/output module.
3. Each I/O module is allocated to a unique address in the backplane.
4. The Addressing Procedure is is carried out manually through the switches of each
module. In Easergy it is necessary to match this address with the one shown by said
switches. More information in 3.1.4 .

Information of Local Acquisition

The following figure shows the relationship between the field information received by the SM_AI16
module and the related points in coreDb:
Figure 25 – Field signals and points in coreDb

All signals in this picture are simple.

SM_AI16 Signals
The following figure shows a configuration panel when a backplane consists of a SM_CPU866e
and a SM_AI16 module. By selecting the SM_AI16 module you can see the following window:
Figure 26 – SM_AI16 Module configuration

This module includes 16 analog signals to be configured. Each signal has associated the following
fields:

• AI x: Signal description. This value can be changed although it does not affect the signal’s
identification, as its identification label, which is automatically attached, is internal and cannot
be changed. This is applicable to all signal descriptions in all modules.

• Rng: Signal’s range.

Pag 33
 10/12/2019 User Manual – SM_AI16

• EGU: Flag indicating whether engineering units are considered. El value “N” indicates
“engineering units” (the Bin output will be between EMIN and EMAX) and the value “Y”
indicates “counts”. These signals when configured in counts can take a value between:

• EMin: Minimum value expressed in engineering units. The range is: -32768 to 32767.

• EMax: Maximum value expressed in engineering units. The range is: -32768 to 32767.

• The “AC FILTER” field is associated to a band rejection filter at 50/60 Hz to avoid the
damaging effects of network noise. If no filter needs to be used, set NONE.

Local Acquisition Coordinates

The coordinate is a unique identifier of a signal within a Bin. Its definition is different for each
Device and the local acquisition is defined with ten digits with the following format:

2 BBB CC DDDD

• 2: The first number of its coordinate for all Saitel DP local acquisition signals will be 2.

• BBB: Three digits to indicate the point address according to the previous communication
protocol. In the case of Profibus-DP, the address range is from 000 to 125.

• CC: Type of signal, which includes:

o 00: Diagnostic signals of the acquisition modules.
o 01: Analog input (16-bit).
o 12: Analog input (8 bits) (Inputs table of Profibus).
o 13: Analog input (16 bits) (Inputs table of Profibus).
o 14: Analog input (32 bits) (Inputs table of Profibus).

• DDDD: Number of the signal within each type, that is, it does not need to match the physical
position. The first signal of a type will be 0000, the second will be 0001 ..., with all the types of
the previous point.

Information in CoreDb
Each SM_AI’s signal is associated to a coreDb register in the status and command table using its
laq coordinate as source:
