1 Overview

The controller HCS3 is a highly modular monitoring and control unit.

It comprises a 19”/2U modular mainframe with 13 interface connection slots designated A1 to A13 located at the rear of the unit (refer to fig 1-1).

It can be equipped with two AC or DC power supplies for redundancy. The user interface comprises a touch sensitive LCD display at the front panel and two communication card modules type HCS3.PSC in slots A1 and A13 providing each a RS422 serial interface for remote control. Alternatively, slot A1 can be equipped with a network interface card (NIC) module type HCS3.PSN instead of HCS3.PSC providing both an Ethernet interface and a serial interface. In addition, it is possible to renounce on the LCD display for cost reasons. In this case, only remote control is available.

The remaining 11 interface connection slots (A2 to A12) can be equipped with different hotpluggable functional card modules like switch cards, I/O cards, signal I/O cards, etc whose designation is HCS3.xxx where xxx defines the module type. This results in a very high flexibility. Thus, the controller is available in different versions by selection of the appropriate functional card modules. The card modules are programmable to provide the functionality for the various controller versions. Presently, the following versions are available:

1. Monitoring, control and power supply for fiber optic modules

2. Fiber optic N:1 switchover systems

3. LNB redundancy systems for C- and Ku-Band

4. HPA redundancy systems

5. Redundancy systems for DVB MPEG encoders/modulators/IRDs

6. Other applications for monitor&control

Each card module in the controller can be identified by its own ID-number used to access and configure the module. Each HCS3 controller comes with an attached configuration sheet showing the actual module configuration.

4 Modules

4.1 Communication (COM) Card Module (HCS3. PSN)

The COM card module type HCS3.PSN provides three functionalities.

1) Generates the internal DC voltage of 5V used as logic voltage.

2) Ethernet network interface card (NIC) to connect the controller to external network equipment like switches, hubs or computers.

3) Serial interface according to RS422 standard.

The Ethernet interface can be used in two ways:

• Web interface

• Remote control interface via UDP/IP protocol. It allows to integrate the controller in an

external network management system. The details of the remote control protocol are published separately.

In most applications, the internal logic voltage and the 26V driver voltage shall be redundant. Thus, two hot-pluggable COM card modules can be installed in each mainframe, type HCS3.PSN or HCS3.PSC in slot A1 and type HCS3.PSC in slot A13. The 5V logic voltage as well as the 26V driver voltage are constantly monitored

4.1.1 Location of Module

The modules are always located in:

¾ Slot A1: card module HCS3.PSN (with Ethernet and serial interface) or HCS3.PSC

(serial interface only)

4.1.2 Technical Data RS422

Communication Type RS422 Baud rate configurable Data Bit configurable Parity configurable Stop bit configurable

The purpose of this serial interface is the connection of an extension module type RIO.8I providing 8 digital inputs. Normally, it is not configured for serial remote control.

The COM card module type HCS3.PSC provides dual functionality.

1) Generates the internal DC voltage of 5V used as logic voltage.

2) Serial interface according to RS422 standard.

The serial interface can be used in two ways:

• Serial interface for configuration of the controller with a software called HCS3.Opto to be installed on an external Windows PC connected to the controller via the serial interface. This is the method to configure the controller if the card module HCS3.PSN with its Web interface is not available.

• Serial remote control interface if a module card HCS3.PSN with Ethernet interface is not available. It allows to integrate the controller in an external network management system. The details of the remote control protocol are published separately.

User: HCS Password: hiltron

when he wants to change any parameter.

User Level:

When “User Level” is selected the administrator can assign the user rights in three categories. The category “user” allows the user only operational activities, e.g. to configure a switch. The category “Supervisor” allows the user to edit current and voltage limits. The category “administrator” allows the operator high level work, e.g. to configure cards

Overview on different security levels

According to the hierarchical structure of the user rights the user 4 posses more rights than user 3, e.g. the user 4 can change the passwords of user 3, 2 and 1 but not

vice versa.

7 Setting the IP-Address

Prior to operation of the network interface card (NIC) type HCS3.PSN , the operator shall set the NIC’s IP address. There is a special configuration program on the CD provided with the controller. In order to configure the card, the following equipment is required:

• The HCS3 Controller with the NIC type HCS3.PSN fitted in slot A1.

• A PC running Microsoft Windows operating system equipped with CD-ROM drive and

Ethernet network interface card.

• A CAT5/6 crossover network cable or a Ethernet hub/switch and two standard net-

work cables to connect the HCS3.PSN to the PC.

• The CD-ROM shipping with the HCS3 Controller.

On the CD-ROM you will find in the directory the folder SCConfig.

Select the file setup.exe and start the installation. The installation assistant will guide you through the installation steps.

By default a new folder SCConfig will be generated. Click on the button to confirm the proposed directory.

After the successful installation a shortcut SCConfig has been generated and installed in the windows main menu “Programs”.

Follow the recommendation and restart the Windows program.

Setting the NIC’s IP parameters is easily done within a few minutes.

1. Install the network cable between the NIC and your PC. Simply connect them directly with a crossover cable. Alternatively, connect both, the PC and the NIC to the same network hub/switch by using two straight network cables. It is essential that the computer and the NIC are connected to the same network segment. Otherwise, the configuration program is not able to find the NIC.

2. Select in the Windows menu Programs the folder SCConfig.

Double-click on the 'SCConfig' program.

The configuration program for the NIC is started and opens with following window:.

3. Click on the button “Search” and the program is searching for the NIC.

4. The program shows in the combo box at least one entry describing the actual network configuration of the NIC. The network parameters of the NIC are presented in the dialog boxes below.

5. Fill in the dialog the fields IP Address, Network mask and, if necessary, Gateway with appropriate values. Make sure, that the 'DHCP' box is unchecked

6. In case of a DHCP configuration is required enable DHCP.

7. Press the SET button to apply the new settings to your NIC.

Now the IP configuration of the HCS3.PSN is completed. You may finally want to test if the card is accessible now. Start your web browser and type the NIC’s IP address into the URL field of the browser. The NIC should reply with its main page, provided the NIC and your PC are configured for the same subnet.
