Functional description
4 Functional description
A 4-digit, 7-segment LED display (red) with 14 mm character height displays data received from the RS485
network, error messages and/or configuration parameters of the device.
The secondary voltage source with galvanic isolation guarantees a stable power supply to the device and
offers protection against polarity reversal.
The RESET button is positioned on the cylindrical surface of the device. The button enables to retrieve the
configuration parameters and to restore factory settings, if necessary.
The device has the following functions:
– receiving data from a master device in the slave mode
– querying data from a slave device in the master mode
– processing received data according to the set parameters
– displaying transmitted value
– displaying transmitted value of a type Int or Word with the set number of decimal points
– optional flashing function
– displaying errors if the data transfer is faulty or the received value cannot be displayed (see 6.5)
– displaying configuration parameters of the device
– modifying configuration parameters according to data received from the master

Installation and commissioning
5 Installation and commissioning
5.1 Installation
The SMI2 is designed for switch panel mounting in a borehole of Ø22.5 mm (see Appendix A for dimensions).
Carefully position the supplied gasket on the display rear surface. Insert the cylindrical part of the device into
the borehole and tighten the nut from the rear side of the switch panel. Connect the device to the auxiliary
voltage and signal cables in accordance with Appendix B.
The factory settings can be changed before assembly if necessary (see Appendix D.3). For this purpose the
device must be connected to the RS485 interface of the programming device (PC) and to the auxiliary power
supply. For further details see 5.3.
Fig. 2 Mounting
5.2 Programming
The display may only be programmed in the RS485 network with the communications protocol Modbus
RTU/ASCII or akYtec in the slave mode. The protocol type is specified in the parameter Protocol type (t.Pro)
(see Table D3).
The configuration software „Konfigurator SMI2“ allows to configure the device via the akYtec protocol. The
CD with the configuration software is supplied with the device. Further steps are given in 5.3.
The parameters are divided into two main groups: the configuration parameters and transmitted data.
The configuration parameters are device information, network parameters and operating parameters. The
latter determine how the device processes the received information.
The configuration parameters are constants and are saved in the permanent memory (Table D3).
The transmitted data are variable data exchanged between the master and slave. These are not saved (Table D4).
Each parameter has a name consisting of Latin letters (up to four), which can be separated by points.
5.3 Configuration
Required steps for configuration:
– Connect a USB/RS485 or RS232/RS485 converter (not supplied) to the PC
– Connect the display to the 24 V DC power supply and to the RS485 terminals of the converter according
– Switch on auxiliary voltage
– Install and start SMI2 configuration software
– In the menu select “Device -> Port configuration…“ and set the parameters to the device factory settings
to Fig. B1
(see 5.5)
