action
– – Without polarization and at least one active digital 4
output.

– – Occurs when voltage is detected on the common-

permit line without the corresponding control being
activated by the module.

– – In this case, 8 digital outputs are blinking because a 5

short-circuit has been detected between two
blinking signals or one blinking signal and the mass
line. All commands in the module are blocked.

The troubleshooting actions to be taken are:

1. Check the type of the module and the module address by verifying the
positions of the configuration switches.
2. Check that the module is properly inserted in the backplane and that the
assigned address is correct.
3. Contact the support service.
4. If any of the ST1 and ST2 LEDs is ON, the polarization voltage is lower than
the minimum required. In this case, if there is an active command, the DIA
LED is also blinking.
5. If any of the DOn indicators is flashing, the self-verification system has
detected an abnormal operating status in the associated output. In this case,
the DIA LED is also blinking.
6. DO280 Module Configuration section provides information about the DO280
cabling procedure to prevent self-verification conflicts. If the wiring is correct,
contact the support service, page 26.
7. Check the following:
• Each terminal block must be connected in the correct order. The terminal
block associated to the upper connector and lower connector have to be
according to the wiring on the polarization terminal.
• Two or more modules must not have the same address. If they do,
commands are blocked.

Handling Modules

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 DO280 module is:
• Main power supply (through the bus): Basic consumption
• Polarization supply: 32 x Polarization voltage x Maximum current per signal
NOTE: The data is available in the Technical Specification Table at the end of
this manual, page 36.

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 OFF 1.5 Mbaud
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.

NOTICE
HAZARD OF INCORRECT MOUNTING OF MODULES
Ensure that configurations are working correctly and modules are mounted
correctly.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

The following figure shows two modules inserted on the backplane. One of the
modules is incorrectly inserted but this does not prevent its functioning.

Configuration and Maintenance

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 14.

In the workspace of Easergy Builder, create a new RTU using or right-click in

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: first number of its coordinate for all PowerLogic T500 local acquisition
signals is 2.
• BBB: three digits indicates the point address according to the previous
communication protocol. In case of Profibus-DP, the address range is 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)
◦ 16: digital output (1 bit) (Inputs table of Profibus)
◦ 17: digital output (2 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 is 0000, the second is
0001 ..., with all the types of the previous point.
