Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use operating terminal & display unit URB 1 only in conjunction with GESTRA
Spector bus systems (CANopen).
Safety Note
Use operating terminal and display unit URB 1 only for operating and viewing
GESTRA CAN bus systems.
The equipment must only be installed by qualified staff.
Qualified staff are those persons who – through adequate training in electrical
engineering, the use and application of safety equipment in accordance with
regulations concerning electrical safety systems, and first aid & accident prevention –
have achieved a recognised level of competence appropriate to the installation and
commissioning of this device.

System description
The URB 1 is a user-friendly operating terminal and display unit for GESTRA CAN
bus systems using the CANopen protocol. The equipment makes retrieving and
processing standard functions of associated system components very easy.
In addition, the URB 1 simplifies the parameterisation procedure: The switchpoints,
proportional band and response sensitivity can be adjusted by means of the keypad
regardless of the actual level. The energizing and de-energizing times of the relays
can be set individually for their respective switchpoints.
The following tables specifiy the GESTRA systems that can be displayed by the
URB 1.

The baud rate is set via a code switch. Reduce baud rate if cable is longer than
specified in the table above. Make sure that all bus nodes feature the same settings.
To protect the switching contacts fuse circuit with 2.5 A (anti-surge fuse) or according
to TRD regulations (1.0 A for 72 hrs operation).
When a max. cable length of more than 125 m (up to 1000 m) is desired, make
sure to modify the baud rate accordingly. Refer to pages 75 and 76 for more
details.

Attention
■ Wire equipment in series. Star-type wiring is not permitted.
■ Interlink screens of control cables such that electrical continuity is
ensured and connect them once to the central earthing point (CEP).
■ If more than one system component is connected to a CAN bus
network provide the first and last equipment with a terminating resistor
of 120 Ω, Fig. 2
■ The CAN bus line must not be interrupted while operating with one or
more system components.
Any interruption will open the control circuit!
If the switching controller has to be replaced be sure to remove first

Basic Settings
CAN-Bus
All level and conductivity controllers and associated electrodes are interconnected by
means of a CAN bus using the CANopen protocol. Every item of equipment features
an electronic address (node ID). The four-core bus cable serves as power supply and
data highway for high-speed data exchange.
The CAN address (node ID) can be set between 60 and 123.
The URB 1 is configured at our works and ready for service with other GESTRA
system components without having to set the node ID.
If several systems of the same kind are to communicate in one CAN bus
network, be sure to assign one node ID for each individual system component
(e. g. controller). Refer to page 75 and 76 for more information.
Node ID for GESTRA bus-based device URB 1
Example: Conductivity monitoring and control
Example: Level monitoring and control
Factory set default values
The URB 1 features the following factory default settings:
■ Baud rate: 250 kb/s
■ Node ID: 060 (Do not change this node ID unless required; highest permissible

System Malfunctions
Troubleshooting
The sources of malfunctions occurring in CAN bus systems operating with several busbased stations must be analysed systematically since faulty components or incorrect
settings can give rise to negative interactions with intact bus devices in the CAN bus
system. These unwanted interactions can cause error messages in fully functional bus
devices, which will make fault detection even more difficult.
We recommend the following systematic fault location procedure:
Step 1 (Start)
Detach terminal strips
in all sensing units of
bus devices.

Temperature sensor
Check
Use fault-finding list
to correct fault(s).
