Software Processing
The DO180 manages standard digital signal controlled by a direct execution
command. They can operate as latched signals or pulsing variable pulse time.
These signals can be associated to simple or double points in coreDb.
The behavior of the system depends on the type of the signal. There are the
following types of signal:
• Simple digital output
• Double digital output

Simple Digital Outputs

A single output is used to execute the command:
• Running command → Activated output
• Completed command → Deactivated output

Double Digital Output

Two outputs are used to execute the command:
• Deactivation command → DO1 is ON and DO2 is OFF
• Activation command → DO1 is OFF and DO2 is ON
Two outputs cannot be activated simultaneously.

LED Indicators
The module integrates an auto check of the digital outputs that is performed when
powering the module or after a polarization interruption. This verification system
monitors polarization voltages, the general status of the module and
communication.
This information is shown through 20 LED indicators on the front of the module.

NOTICE
HAZARD OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
• Handle the module from the front side, as far as possible from the backplane
connectors.
• Do not touch the pins of the module connector.
• Keep the module in its antistatic bag or packaging box, when unused.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Module Location within the Chassis or Backplane

NOTICE
HAZARD OF INCORRECT EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Do not place the CPU next to PS280 power supply module.
• Modules must be installed in vertical position.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Respect the following requirements to place the modules in the chassis or in the
backplane:
• When using the PS280 power supply module, place it in slot 1 (left-hand
side). In redundant-power supply configurations, use slots 1 and 2 for both
power supply modules.
Other modules can be located in any position (slot) within the chassis.
• Group the modules to minimize the adverse effects caused by noise and
heat.
• Place modules, and specifically CPU modules, as far as possible from the
modules which operate at alternating currents or high currents.
• If the system uses redundant CPUs, place both CPUs modules side by side in
the backplane.

Power Supply Requirements

NOTICE
HAZARD OF INCORRECT WIRING OR SUPPLIED VOLTAGE
• Check that the voltage input for the backplane is 5.4 Vdc.
• Check that there is no reverse polarity.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

The PS280 module supplies power to the modules connected to the backplane, as
required. When using auxiliary power supplies, you need to scale them depending
on the installed PowerLogic T500 modules.
The consumption of all modules is added plus a safety margin (between 20% and
50% of the full power). The power supply efficiency, typically, 70 - 90%, is also
considered to protect the chassis and power supply from overloading.
The maximum power requirement for each DO180 module is:
• Main power supply : Basic consumption (as indicated in the technical
specifications table at the end of the manual).
• Polarization supply: 16 x Maximum consumption per signal. Polarization
voltage and maximum current per signal are indicated in the technical
specifications table at the end of the manual.
NOTE: The data is available in the Technical Specification Table at the end of
this manual, page 37.

Configuration Switches
The module identification and Profibus communication speed can be set using the
microswitches on the module rear panel.

The module identification must be unique, selecting between 1 and 96 using

microswitches 1 to 7. The addresses 0 and from 97 to 127 are reserved and are
not assigned. In the case that they are assigned, messages are generated when
the system boots.
The address definition is 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 PowerLogic T500
modules. It is determined by the speed of the primary device, configured in the
Easergy Builder configuration tool.
The speed is set using microswitches 9, 10 and 11 as shown in the following table:

Position 11 Position 10 Position 9 Profibus Rate

OFF OFF OFF 19.2 kbaud
OFF OFF ON 93.75 kbaud
OFF ON OFF 187.5 kbaud
OFF ON ON 500 kbaud

ON OFF ON Not available
ON ON OFF Not available
ON ON ON Not available

NOTE: For optimal system performance, set the Profibus rate to 1.5 Mbaud.
NOTE: Microswitches 8 and 12 are reserved and must be set to OFF.

Mounting Procedure
PowerLogic T500 modules can be installed in a 19-inch chassis (BP270) or a
backplane (BP260).
The BP260 can detect an incorrect installation of the modules. However, some
configurations can work correctly even though the modules are not mounted
correctly. This situation creates a mechanical instability and might cause serious
problems.

Polarization
The digital outputs need a polarization voltage for operation.

20 BQT7945201-00
Physical Mounting and Installation PowerLogic DO180

The 16 outputs of the DO180 module are divided into two 8-input polarization
blocks. Each block can be polarized independently but both must have the same
value.
The polarization of V1 and V2 voltages is supplied externally from the module.
Even if two power supplies are available, use only one power supply by bridging
the terminals. The terminal +V1 in connector B1 must be interconnected with the
terminal +V2 in connector B2 and the terminal -V1 in B1 with the terminal -V2 in
B2.

Command Permission Outputs

The terminal 18 in connectors B1 and B2 of the DO180 module has two special
outputs labeled as M1 and M2 as shown in figure Terminal connection, page 18.
M1 is associated with the outputs 1 to 8 and M2 with the outputs 9 to 16. Internally,
these outputs are connected to the positive of each polarization voltage through
the contact of a command relay. These relays are activated automatically when
there is an active output.
The field receivers can be powered with polarization voltage (V1 and V2) through
the command outputs M1 and M2.

Flat Ribbon Connection (option C2)

This version of the product (flat ribbon connection) is only capable to drive digital
output circuits lower than 60 Vdc and connected to at least basic isolated circuits.
When the connection is established through terminal blocks, they can be simple
connecting interfaces made up by a flat ribbon and terminals. These spring-type
terminals with capacity for 2.5 mm2 gauge cables have a DIN 35 rail mounting
base. The flat ribbon cable has 20 ways, so two terminal blocks for each module
are required. The flat ribbon cables are designed to be installed inside the cabinet.
The following figure shows the pin allocation of the connectors for option C2.
The connector J1 is located at the top, behind the front window, and the connector
J2 is located at the bottom, behind the front window.

Configuration of the Backplane
NOTE: You should be familiar with the general use of Easergy Builder. For
more information about the tool, refer to the Easergy Builder manual.
An understanding of basic PowerLogic T500 concepts is required in order to
configure the acquisition:
• A backplane is a set of IO modules connected to a CPU and a power supply.
• Each IO module is allocated to a unique address in the backplane.
• The addressing procedure is carried out manually through the switches of
each module. In Easergy Builder tool, you need to match this address with
the one shown by the switches. For more information, refer to Configuration
Switches, page 15.

following points are generated:
• Corresponding inputs, if available, in the Analog or Status table
• Corresponding outputs, if available, in the Commands table
• Supervision point for each block
At the end of the operation, the new configuration appears in the RTU tree.
Double-click it, so that the Easergy Builder tool goes into configuration mode.

DO180 Configuration
The local acquisition device for PowerLogic T500 is named as laq and it is created
by default for each PowerLogic T500 configuration.
The first step to configure the acquisition is to ensure that the configured
backplane in the graphical interface is according to the system. Each module must
be addressed according the position of its microswitches. Refer Configuration
Switches, page 15.

Configuring local acquisition for PowerLogic T500

The laq device supports communication between inputs and the outputs managed
by the acquisition blocks and coreDb points. To configure the acquisition settings,
include all IO modules in the backplane.
NOTE: The graphical interface does not show if the modules are mounted in
one or multiple backplanes. Communication and power supplies modules are
not included in the graphical schematic.

Output signals

Select the module on the screen. All digital outputs are displayed.

28 BQT7945201-00
Configuration and Maintenance PowerLogic DO180

The first field of each row specifies the description of the signal (DO_SIM_1 .. DO_
SIM_8). In coreDb, each signal is identified using its coordinate.
For each signal, the following parameters can be changed:
• Type of signal: there are two types of signals:
◦ Simple digital output (DO_SIM)
◦ Double digital output (DO_DOB)
• Latch: the possible values are Y or N.
◦ Y indicates that the signal is latched, that is, the associated command is
permanent over time.
◦ N indicates that the signal is temporary, that is, the command is retained
for the time indicated in ExeTim field.
• ExeTim: only available for signals that are not latched. Command timeout
(ms). After this time, the command is deactivated.
If any signal is set to a double digital signal, the next signal available is disabled
because a double signal takes two signals. The following figure shows the signal
DO_DOB_2 configured as double:

Configuring double output signal

Click Next button to display all the digital outputs of the module, that is, from 9 to
16.

Local Acquisition Coordinates

Each digital output is identified in coreDb by a name, stored in the Description
field. This name is only used for information purpose.
coreDb uses the coordinate of the signal to identify a field signal.

BQT7945201-00 29
PowerLogic DO180 Configuration and Maintenance

The following figure shows digital outputs of the DO180 module in the command
table:

Digital outputs for the DO180 module in the command table

The coordinate is a unique identifier of a signal within a device. For digital outputs,
the coordinate is indicated as destination, with the following syntax:
2 BBB CC DDDD
• 2: digit that specifies coordinate for all PowerLogic T500 local acquisition
signals. It is always 2.
• BBB: three digits to indicate the point address according to the
communication protocol. In the case of Profibus-DP, the address ranges from
000 to 125.
• CC: type of signal:
◦ 00: diagnostic signals of the acquisition modules
◦ 05: simple digital output (1 bit)
◦ 15: double digital output (2 bits)
• DDDD: incremented number of the signal within each type. It does not match
the physical position. The first signal of a type is 0000, the second is 0001
and so on.
For example, if a coreDb point has associated the signal 2003050002 as
destination, then it means that this point of coreDb executes a single command
(05) on signal (0002) of the module with address 003, according to Profibus-DP
(2) protocol.

coreDb Information for a DO180 Module

The following points are included in coreDb if the Create defined RTU
acquisition points option is selected when creating a configuration for the
selected RTU (refer to figure New Configuration, page 26):
• 16 points for information from field. A coreDb point is included in the
command table for each field signal. The default name is: D00x_00000 ...
D00x_00015, where 00x is the address of the module.

30 BQT7945201-00
Configuration and Maintenance PowerLogic DO180

• The following diagnostic points are created in the status table for each D00x
module:
◦ D00x_STS_COMM: associated coordinate 200x000000 (as source). The
value indicates with status of the module. Value 1 means that the CPU
cannot communicate with the D00x module.
◦ D00x_STS_DIAG: associated coordinate 200x000001 (as source). The
value indicates the diagnostics for the module. Value 1 means that the
module indicates a problem (diagnostic). Usually this status corresponds
to a missing polarization.
◦ D001_STS_FAILBUS1: associated coordinate 200x000003 (as source).
The value indicates if a communication interruption in bus 1 has been
detected. Value 1 indicates a communication interruption in Profibus 1.
◦ D001_STS_FAILBUS2: associated coordinate 200x000004 (as source).
The value indicates if a communication interruption in bus 2 has been
detected. Value 1 indicates a communication interruption in Profibus 2.
To include a point manually, create a new point, select laq as Source Device,
click the right-button on the Source Coordinates field and select Launch Point
wizard:

Open Launch Point Wizard

Launch Point Wizard

Select the module in which you need to create these points and then select the
point to be created from the Point needed area.
NOTE: The points that are not created are shown in the Point needed list.
You can include these points directly in coreDb.
For example, if a coreDb point has assigned the signal 2003000000 as source,
the value of this point indicates the communication status of the module 003
(address).
The value of the signal 2007000004 changes to 1 when the communication with
the module 007 is lost.
For additional information regarding coreDb and operation with signals, refer to
the Easergy Builder user manual.
