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:

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

or Web routing functions.
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

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.

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.
