1.5 Earthing

WARNING
Before energizer the device, it has to be placed to earth properly such as it indicates in sections
1.5.1 and 1.5.2.

When installing the device, ground is the first thing that should be connected and the last one
that should be disconnected.

Saitel can need put to earth for two distinct needs:

• For purposes of electrical safety (Protective Earth, PE).
• Improve the behavior in EMC and derive perturbations to earth (functional Earth).

1.5.1 Electrical Safety

Only qualified personnel, with knowledge about hazards associate with electrical equipment is
allowed to install Saitel DR. In general, the installation will be following IEC 61010-1
recommendations in order to be compliant with this norm.

The DIN rail must be installed on a metallic surface. This metallic surface must have
available an M4 screw marked with this symbol. The ground of the cabinet or

4.1 ITB Configuration

NOTICE
To perform the operations described in this chapter, the user must be familiar with the Easergy
Builder tool. Otherwise, please refer to the tool's manual.

In the Workspace of Easergy Builder, create a new RTU using button or pressing right button of
the mouse in an empty area of the RTUs tree:
Figure 20 - Adding new RTU

Pressing button next to the graphical ITB, you can add, remove or change the I/O modules
included on the default configuration.

The user needs understand some basic concepts about Saitel DR before configuring the
acquisition:
• An ITB is a set of acquisition blocks connected to a CPU (HU).
• An Acquisition Block or AB is a Saitel DR input/output module.
• Each acquisition block is allocated to a unique address in the ITB, the Node Number; this
number identifies both the module and its type.
• The procedure AAP (Automatic Addressing Procedure) is performed by the operator
every time an AB module is added, deleted, replaced or moved inside the ITB. It can be
launched manually or automatically depending on the configuration switches of the HU
(consult user manual of the HU).
Figure 21 - Acquisition modules in a default configuration.

The number under each module corresponds with its address. You can select any AB and use
buttons to change its physical position.

R&D Digital Seville

Pag 31
19/04/2024 User Manual – AB_DO

When “Auto Address” box is checked (by default), if you reorder, add or delete an AB, all
addresses are automatically recalculated matching their physical position in the rail. Address
number 1 is assigned to the AB closest to the HU module (for HU_AF or HU_BI, address number 1
will be attached to the HU itself).
If “Auto Address” box is unchecked, modules will retain the allocated address, ignoring any
changes made. If rechecked, the following message will appear:

Select an AB (click on the AB image) and use button to remove it. Use button to add a new
AB and select the type of module to include:
Figure 22 - Adding one (or several) AB.

If “Auto Address” is checked, you can add several AB at one time. This window allows selecting
the quantity of modules to be added. If “Auto Address” in unchecked, you only can add one AB
each time and you have to select the address to be assigned.
To create a new configuration, select RTU in the tree and pulse right button of the mouse or use

button.
Figure 23 - Adding a configuration.

If the field "Create acquisition points defined in the RTU" is marked, all points of the local
acquisition of the acquisition blocks included in the default acquisition configuration associated with
the RTU will be included in coreDb.
For example, if a HUe has an ITB with an AB_DI module, if "Create acquisition points defined in
the RTU", 16 digital inputs signals will be included in the Status table.
Finally, the new configuration will appear in the RTUs tree.

Other buttons in this window are explained in the user manual of Easergy Builder.

4.2 AD_DO Configuration

The local acquisition Device for Saitel DR is named “Local Acquisition Device Controller” (claq) and
it is created by default for each Saitel DP configuration.
The main functionality of claq is supporting the communication between field signals of each AB
and its linked coreDb points.
The first step to configure the acquisition settings is to assure that the ITB in the graphical interface
is according to the system. Each module must be addressed according its position in the ITB.
NOTICE
The graphical interface does not show if the ITB is mounted in one or multiple rows.

Modules AB_SER, TU nor XU aren’t included in the schematic

The following figure shows the relationship between the field information received by the AB_DO
module and the related points in coreDb:

All signals in this picture are simple. If a signal is configured as double or counter its default name
will be different.

4.2.2 AB_DO signals

The following figure shows the configuration panel when the ITB is composed by an HUe and one
AB_DO module with address 1:
Figure 28 – AB_DO field signals.

Select the module in the ITB and all its field signals are shown (marked in red).
The first position of each row corresponds with the signal’s description (DO_OSIM_1 ..
DO_OSIM_8). In coreDb, each signal will be identified using its coordinate (see paragraph 4.2.3 ).
For each signal, the following parameters can be changed:
• Type of signal: The signal is configured as: Simple digital (DO_OSIM) or double digital
(DO_ODOB).
When a signal is configured as double digital this signal and the following are grouped together.
For example, if the signal 1 and 2 are configured as DO_ODOB then they must be considered as
two binary join digits, thus 00 – no signal On, 01 – first signal On, 10 – second signal On and 11 –
both signals On.
So, it is possible to control two signals form the same command.
The following parameters will be available or not depending on the type of signal:
• Latch:
o No: The digital output is configured as pulsing.
o Yes: The digital output is configured as latch.
• ExeTim(ms): In case latch option is not used ExeTim can be configured. It means the pulse
time duration when the digital output is activated.
Figure 29 – Configuring double output signal.

R&D Digital Seville

Pag 35
19/04/2024 User Manual – AB_DO

NOTICE
Setting a digital signal as a double groups that signal and the next one. For example, 7 and 8 are
chosen, and therefore should be taken as two digit binary sets. In this way, 00, 01, 10 or 11 (0, 1,
2 or 3 in WebApp or CoreDb), will turn on any signal, the first, the second or both at the same
time respectively. Therefore, you can control the behavior of two signals from the same
command.

4.2.3 Local Acquisition Coordinates

Each digital input is identified in coreDb by a name (it is stored in the field Description), but this
name is only used for information purpose. coreDb uses the signal’s coordinate in order to identify
a field signal.
The following picture shows digital outputs of the module AB_DO (address 1) in the command
table.

A claq coordinate is a numerical identifier of 10 digits with the following structure:

1 XXX YY ZZZZ
Where:
• 1: First digit of the coordinate. In local acquisition signals, it must always be 1.
• XXX: Three digits to indicate the module’s address.

• YY: Type of signal. For digital input could be:

o 00: Diagnostic signals of the acquisition modules.
o 05: Simple digital output.
o 15: Double digital output.

• ZZZZ: 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.
For example, if a coreDb point has associated the signal 1003050002 as destination, then it means
that this point of coreDb execute a single command (05) on signal (0002) of the module with
address 003.

4.2.4 Information in Tables Status and Command

Each AB_DO’s signal is associated to a coreDb register in the status table using its claq coordinate
as source:

Figure 30 – Information of digital outputs in Status coreDb

Each AB_DO’s signal is associated to a coreDb register in the command table using its claq
coordinate as destination:
Figure 31 – Information of digital outputs in Command coreDb

These points and other diagnostic points (D001_COMM_DIAG and D001_HW_DIAG) can be
created automatically when the module is included in the ITB, but they can be created manually
using the claq’s wizard.
In order to include a point manually, please create a new point, select claq as Source Device, click
right-button on the field Source Coordinates and select Launch Point wizard:

Select the module in which it wants to create these points and then select the point to be created.
NOTICE
