EDS ENERGY EFFICIENCY MANAGER
EDS (Efficiency Data Server) is an energy efficiency manager. The device has an RS-485 communications bus, as
well as 8 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs via relay, which allow it to communicate with external field devices, representing and storing the information via its Ethernet connection and integrated web server. EDS also has a standard XML server, through which other external applications can integrate information from the device easily and intuitively.
This document represents the user an d operation manual of the
EDS device. If misplaced, the manual may be downloaded from
faults in the device or in its protecti on system, remove the device from service. The design of the device makes it easy to replace in the event of a fault.
1.- Buttons
The front panel of the EDS device has an alphanumeric LCD display, along with four function buttons, allowing the user to navigate through the setup screens of the device.
The buttons have two operating methods: SHORT KEYSTROKE: when the user presses the function button for
less than two seconds. LONG KEYSTROKE: when the user presses the function button for
more than two seconds. The buttons have the following functions:
Scroll left: edit button, scroll the cursor to the left to modify the numerical or alphanumeric digit.
Scroll RIGHT: edit button, scroll the cursor to the right to modify the numerical or alphanumeric digit.
Scroll up: the function of this button is to modify the digit where the edit cursor is located. If there is no cursor on the screen, move up to the next step of the previous setup option.
Scroll down: the function of this button is to modify the digit where the edit cursor is located. If there is no cursor on the screen, move down to the next step of the previous setup option.
2.- Setup
The device has two clear setup routes: the first one is related to the Ethernet integration start-up (IP addressing), and the second one is related to the setup of the internal applicati on and possible association with other field devices via the RS485 bus.

2.1.- Network addressing

EDS is a devi ce with self-detecting Ethernet 10/100BaseTX
connectivity. This means that, in order to integrate the device into a Local Area Network, it must be provided with a previous IP addressing configuration.
The user can access the setup parameters via the display and the function keys on the front panel of the device, or through the internal setup web site, which is accessible via a conventional Internet browser.

2.2.- Network parameter setup (Keyboard)

The configuration of the Ethernet network parameters can be integrally carried out using the function buttons on the front panel of the device.
To access the setup menu, simultaneously hold down the keys Scroll RIGHT, Scroll up and Scroll down for more than two seconds. The device shows the text hold on 2 seconds to enter
setup on screen and after 2 seconds the display shows ENTERING SETUP RELEASE THE KEYS.
2.2.1.- MAC address
After entering the setup menu, the device displays MAC (Media Access Control) physical address on screen, with a 00:26:45:XX:XX:XX type format. This is an information panel that
CIRCUTOR's web site:
www.circutor.com
Disconnect the device from the power supply source before
the user can use to know the physical address of the device. To go the next setup screen, press the Scroll down key.
2.2.2.- DHCP assignment
After entering the setup menu, the device displays DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and shows the by default NO option. To modify the option displayed on the screen, press Scroll RIGHT until the YES option appears. Do this twice and the device cyclical ly displ ays both options until one of them is validated.
When the DHCP server is activated via the YES capti on, press the Scroll down key to go to the next option.

2.2.2.1.- Client ID - ( DHCP YES )

After activation of the DHCP authentication and the subsequent validation, the device displays the Client ID parameter setup on the screen, which makes reference to the DHCP name of the device to be logged into the Ethernet network.
The edit cursor in the first digit is activated via the Scroll RIGHT key. This key and the Scroll up and down buttons can be used to parameterise an alphanumeric data entry of up to 20 digits. After the data is entered, press the Scroll RIGHT key twice until the edit key disappears, and then validate the data with the Scroll down key, by going to the next screen.

2.2.2.2.- Assigned values - ( DHCP YES )

After entering the Client ID name in the device for the first time, the device displays the parameters assigned by the DHCP server on the screen. Given that the parameters that are being edited will not be fixed until the device is configured, it displays the foll owing fields on the screen, which cannot be edited (asterisk in upper left hand corner):
- 2.2.8.1.- IP
- 2.2.8.2.- Netmask
- 2.2.8.3.- Gateway
- 2.2.8.4.- Primary DNP
- 2.2.8.5.- Secondary DNS
Given that the DHCP server has not yet been assigned the Ethernet addressing values (displaying 000.000.000.000), press the Scroll down key twice to go the Primary NTP option.
2.2.3.- Primary NTP
The device can be synchronised with a time and date NTP server (Network Time Protocol) server in the UTC time system. The device does not display a value by default, indicating that the synchronisation is completed via DHCP, if the network server allows this to be done. In this case, it is the main server.
To configure an NTP server that is different from the DHCP (0.0.0.0), press the Scroll RIGHT key, enabling the edit cursor in the first digit. Set parameters for an alphanumeric data entry with the Scroll up and down buttons up to a maximum of 20 digits, indicating an http address or internal or external IP (if the device has Internet access). After establishing the parameters, press the Scroll RIGHT key twice until the edit key disappears, and then validate the data with the Scroll down key, by going to the next screen.
Servers available on the Internet:
- es.pool.ntp.org
- pool.ntp.org

2.2.3.1.- Secondary NTP

configuration of the secondary NTP server, carry out the same procedure as with the Primary NTP.
2.2.4.- Time Zone
To configure the time zone, press the Scroll RIGHT key to select the time zone where the EDS device is located.
After selecting the zone, press the Scroll down key, and go to the next screen.
2.2.5.- AMB® - Active Mode Bridge
The AMB system reverses the connection process of remote devices. In this case, it is the equipment that starts the communication process with the connections server located in a central computer, by creating a transparent communications tunnel between the equipment and connection server. Therefore, the user avoids having to set up and maintain a fixed IP system or DynDNS in its remote control locations.

2.2.5.1.- Active mode

To configure an access route, press the Scroll RIGHT key, until the YES option appears. W hen the Active mode is acti vated via the YES caption, press the Scroll down key to go to the next option.

EDS

2.2.5.3.- Act. Mode Port - ( active mode yes )

The “Act. Mode port” opti on is the access port of the central server, where the AMB connections software has been installed. This computer must have an access port for connecting all remote devices, in order to establish a transparent communications tunnel.
In this case, access to the Internet connection from the central location will require the use of a connection router, which will establish a NAT access rule to activate a TCP connection port in the connection server (connection path).
An access port must be activated in the Internet access router, which will internally transfer the public communication frames to the AMB internal connection server and to a port specified by and known to the user.
The port activated in the communication router must be configured in the "Port" section.

2.2.5.4.- Act. Mode Identifier - ( active mode yes )

Each element connected to the AMB system must have an identifier or alias (“Act. Mode Id.”). This identifier is alphanumeric and the user must record it in order to enable the server connection.
An "Identifier" cannot be duplicated within the same connection server.
2.2.6.- Enable Security
A user and edition password can be activated in the device, thus avoiding modification of the configuration parameters. The device displays NO by default. It should be pointed out that if the password is activated, it will be present in all the device's setup and display accesses (keyboard, Web setup and internal applications).
To modify the option displayed on screen, Scroll RIGHT until the option YES appears. Do this twice and the device cyclically displays both options until one of them is vali dated. Establi sh the parameters for the alphanumeric data entry with the Scroll up and down buttons, up to 20 digits corresponding to the user, and when the data is validated, repeat the operation with the password. Validate the data (Scroll right and scroll down).
2.2.7.- Confirm Changes - ( DHCP YES )
The information must be validated to save the setup. The device displays yes by default. When the completed configuration is validated, press the scroll down key and the device saves the data and leaves configuration.
If the setup is not saved, Scroll RIGHT until the no option appears. Do this twice and the device cyclically displ ays both options until one of them is validated with the scroll down key

2.2.8.5.- Secondary DNS - ( DHCP no )*

To configure the secondary DNS server, carry out the same procedure as with the Primary DNS.

2.2.8.6.- Other setups - ( DHCP no )*

After configuring the secondary DNS, the other setup screens correspond to the same ones as in the activated DHCP mode; consequently the setup procedure will be the same as the one for sections:
- 2.2.3.- Primary NTP
- 2.2.3.1.- Secondary NTP
- 2.2.4.- Time Zone
- 2.2.5.- AMB® - Active Mode Bridge
- 2.2.6.- Enable Security
- 2.2.7.- Confirm Changes - ( DHCP YES )

2.2.8.7.- Manual Date and Time setup

If there is no authentication configuration by the DHCP system, and if there is no Primary and Secondary NTP server available, EDS allows the time and date to be configured manually when validating the changes by displaying the caption adjust clock. The date and time are displayed on screen with the following format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM. To configure them, press the Scroll RIGHT key, activating the edition cursor in the first digit. Use the Scroll up and Scroll down buttons to establish the parameters of the numerical data entry. After establishing the parameters, press the Scroll RIGHT key twice until the edition key disappears, and then validate the data with the Scroll down key, leaving setup and validating the configuration.
When the setup is validated, the DONE caption appears, returning to the main screen.
2.2.9.- Display of setup parameters
To display the setup parameters, the user must enter the setup menu by simultaneously pressing the SCROLL RIGHT ,
SCROLL UP and Scroll down keys. The user must Press the Scroll down key twice for complete visualisation of the device
configuration. If a user and password are available even when the user does
not have one, all the setup parameters can be visualised without being able to change them (asterisk in top left hand corner).

2.2.9.1.- Ping system

To confirm IP connectivity via a Local Area Network (LAN) or the Internet using a DSL or 3G router, the user sometimes has to know if the EDS device has this IP access or if the unit has particular access to a certain host.
To do this, EDS has a PING section, from which the user can carry out an IP connectivity test with an IP address or name, emulating the ping command of a conventional operating system.
The device displays the physical address within the setup menu, as shown in section 2.2.1.- MAC address. Press the SCROLL RIGHT key to go to the on-screen caption HOST PING. To enter the name or IP address to carry out the ping test, press the Scroll RIGHT key to acti vate the edit cursor in the first digit. Press this key and the Scroll up and down buttons to establish the parameters of an alphanumeric data entry of up to 20 digits. After the data is entered, press the Scroll RIGHT key twice until the edit key disappears, and then validate the data with the Scroll down key, by going to the next screen.
When the data is val idated, the screen displays the DOING PING caption and will then show the results:
- PING RESULT: OK - a response was obtained from the host
- PING RESULT: time out - no response was obtained from the host
When a result is obtained by the device, press the Scroll down key and the device goes back to the by default display screens.
2.2.10.- Internal setup web site
After establishing the parameters with the keyboard and connecting to the Ethernet, the device has a setup web site where the user can integrally modify the data entered with the keyboard. The setup web site is at the http address below:
- http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/html/setup.html
- http://dhcp_name/html/setup.html
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned by the user. Where name_dhcp is the name assigned and authenticated
by the name server of the local area network (LAN).

2.3.- Network parameters setup (Software)

Configuration of addressing can be done in the same way as using the keyboard via the IPSetup.exe file, available on a CD supplied with the device.
2.3.1.- Fixed IP assignment
To assign a fixed IP address, enter the MAC address displayed on the device screen as shown in section 2.2.1.- MAC address address, the format of which is 00:26:45:XX:XX:XX.
In the Address field, enter the IP address being configured; do the same with the (Netmask) and the (Gateway) port if necessary. After entering the device setup, press “Setup” to send the setup to the equipment.
2.3.2.- DHCP IP assignment
To assign the DHCP name, activate the option using the upper right hand arrow and select On. Once the setup fields have been enabled, enter the MAC address.
In the Address fi eld, enter an unused, temporary IP address, which is within the working range of your computer. In the Host Name field, enter the DHCP name to be assigned to the equipment. Optionally, the user can configure the parameters of the ClientID field. The default VendorID of the device is
CIRCUTOR.
2.3.3.- Setup web site
Once connection to the Local Area Network (LAN) is established and the IP address or DHCP name is configured, the device has an internal web site where the user can integrally modify all the parameters concerning network configuration (2.2.10.- Internal setup web site), and even the time and date data.
2.3.4.- Access via password
If an access user name and password have been parameterised, the device requests these access parameters when trying to access via the web site in the following pop up screen:
EDS
3.- Operation
EDS is an energy efficiency manager with a Web server
display, from which the user can see the status of the device inputs and outputs in real time, as well as a ny possible acti on to be taken.
As well as serving the data stored internally via the Web, the device has an XML server, enabling the user to send GET and PUT type requests.

3.1.- Web Server

Once the Ethernet addressing is configured and integrated into the Ethernet network, the device variables are visi ble to the user via a conventional Internet Explorer browser (with Java plug-in installed on the computer
http://www.java.com/es/download/). Another access interface
is the PowerStudio Scada Client. To see the Web display interface, the user must access it via
the http address below:
- http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
- http://dhcp_name
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned by the user. Where name_dhcp is the name assigned and authenticated
by the name server of the local area network (LAN).

3.2.- XML server

The XML server is an excellent integration tool for external applications. EDS has a server available whose access requests are identified in this manual (see XXX).

3.3.- Digital inputs

The device has a total of 8 digital inputs, whose function is to count energy impulses coming from external sensors, or for detection of the logical status of the input. The contacts associated to the digital inputs of the device must be voltage­free dry contacts.
3.3.1.- Impulse meter function
The electronic meters have an impulse output that is proportional to the recorded power. W ith its inputs, EDS is a centralising unit with 8 digital inputs (opto-coupled) for reading impulses from electricity, water, gas, etc. meters. The value of these impulses is associated to 8 memory records, stored in a non-volatile memory.
Each registry is 32 bits (4 bytes), so it counts a maximum of up to 4,294,967,295 impulses. When a memory record reaches this value, the meter is reset back to zero.
The minimum duration of the impulse or status change of the digital input must be 50 ms. The minimum time between two successive impulses must also have a minimum duration of 50 ms. This represents a maximum sampling frequency of 10 Hz.
Its Web server and internal memory enable the user to extract graphics and tables of impulses received during a certain period (table and graphic function).
3.3.2.- Input logical status function (0/1)
The 8 digital i nputs in the device are voltage-free and have an input logical status detection function. This means that when a bridge is set up between the common and one of the digital inputs, the device detects that the input has closed, and displays the status via both communications servers.

3.4.- Digital out put s

The device has 6 relay digital outputs. The user can use remote control to carry out actions on the outputs (open, close, create an impulse).
These actions can be manual, or via programming in the events section of the device (see PowerStudio Scada manual).

3.5.- RS-485 expansion bus

The device has an RS-485 communications bus that allows it to communicate with external peripherals, act as a communications master and store data recorded in its 200Mb cyclic memory.
Its Web accessibility and memory enable the user to view data coming from devices connected to the bus in real time, and easily and simply view graphics and tables of the parameters registered by the device.
As well as linking communications with devices connected to its RS-485 communications bus, the device also has the capacity to make connections via IP connectivity (local or remote), either through an IP via addressing or DHCP name.
To add devices to the EDS energy device setup, the user must install the PowerStudio or PowerStudio Scada application, so as to export a new setup of the device, adding new analyzers or slaves connected to the unit.
EDS allows configuration of up to 5 slave devices connected to its network.

3.6.- Additional PS/PSS features

To configure the other system features, read the PowerStudio / Scada Editor manual. It has all the information the user
