5 Hardware setup and topology
An ECH crate which is equipped with a CC24 Host Controller can be extended with up to 2 x 4 CC23 slave controllers using the
green and the yellow daisy chain CAN lines. Legacy CAN controlled crates can be connected at the end of each of these lines.
All CC2x controllers provide two independent CAN lines, that are separated by color coding, indicated by the LED of the CAN
connector. The upper CAN connector connects the YELLOW CAN LINE, the lower to the GREEN CAN LINE.
The address IDs of the connected crates are configured automatically, depending on the position in the chain following this
pattern:

Modules 0-999
ATTENTION
Before insertion or removal of crate controller, please make sure, all voltages are ramped down, crates
are switched off and power cord is disconnected.

Illustration 1: Topology of CC24/23 series
ATTENTION
CAUTION
Do not connect both CAN connectors of a CC2x controller in any way, neither direct nor by building CAN
ring bus topology.
Connecting legacy crates (ECH238, 224 etc.)
CC2x controllers are able to connect legacy CAN-only driven iseg crates. So it is possible to extend existing hardware setups with a
new MMS series crate (ECH44A, ECH242, ECH244) and CC2x crate controller to access complete hardware by Ethernet or WiFi with
all major advantages of the integrated server hardware.
Legacy crates don't automatically configure their address. The address of the backplane (bank address) must be selected by a
rotary selector switch of the legacy's crate controller. Please note:
• Please pay attention that every legacy crate is configured to a unique address within a CAN line.
• Modules labeled with a six digit serial number allocate one or two addresses dependent on the serial number.
If there is one module in a legacy crate that's six digit serial number has a one at the last digit, only equal bank
addresses are allowed.
• Crate controllers of legacy crates must be configured to a CAN-Bitrate of 250 kBit/s
Each of the Master´s CAN-Lines can address up to 64 modules in legacy crates.

The voltage supply of the crates backplane and the crate connected modules is switched on by the POWER ON pushbutton or
REMOTELY.
Normal front panel operation
Hold the POWER ON pushbutton for one second. The power supply will be switched on. LED STATUS turns to GREEN. By holding
the POWER ON pushbutton again for one second, the power supply will be switched off. The LED STATUS goes OFF.
INFORMATION
NOTE
If the POWER ON pushbutton will be hold for five seconds, the crate enters the configuration mode (see
pg. 12)!
Front panel operation with errors
If an error occurs while trying to switch the Crate on, the LED STATUS lights RED for 5 seconds. After that the crate controller
shuts down the operation and the LED STATUS goes OFF. If an error occurs during operation, the crate remains powered on and
the LED STATUS is permanent RED.
All possible errors are described in the Crate Status register description (see CAN EDCP programmers guide – page Fehler:
Referenz nicht gefunden).
7 Safety-Loop connector
The SL1 and SL2 connectors serve as current source for the safety loop. The current flow through a safety loop enables the high
voltage generation within the modules. When the safety loop is interrupted, the high voltage generation stops immediately.
INFORMATION
NOTE
The safety loop feature has to be activated by removing of a jumper on the backside of the modules also,
see specific module manual for more information.
Crate Controller CC24/CC23 | v1.4 Last change on: 07.04.2017 | www.iseg-hv.com 9/28
SL1
Potential-free current source (8 to 10 mA) to supply a safety loop for up to 10 modules. The safety loop is routed through the
modules SL connectors by a series connection. Start- and end point of the safety loop is SL1. For modules with a Redel connector,
the associated SL pins have to be bridged. Additional potential-free contacts to open the safety loop through external signals can
also be inserted.
SL2
A current source on crate GND potential for modules with option SLP (internal supplied safety loop). The SL2 connector pins can
be bridged by a short-circuit plug or an external potential-free switch. In this case the modules are supplied with the loop current
via the crate's backplane.
To enable a module its SL connector (and, if applicable, the SL pins on the Redel connector) must be bridged. All modules are
supplied with the loop current in parallel, i.e. opening the SL connector on a module will only deactivate this one module.

8 Control connector
INFORMATION
NOTE
This function requires crate controller firmware release 4.08 or higher.
The CONTROL D-SUB-9 female connector provides digital input and output functions.
To use all control connector functions, it may be necessary to perform firmware updates for all modules in the crate first (see pg.
5).
The high level is +5 Volt, low level is ground potential.

9 WiFi
The CC24 Master crate controller is optionally equipped with a removable WiFi access point.
In case this feature is unwanted, you can switch it off by software configuration (see iCSconfig) or remove the USB-hardware part
from the controller board or front panel USB port.
For more information of WiFi configuration and use, refer to the iCS section (see page 18)
10 Module Bitrate Configuration
INFORMATION
NOTE
All modules must be configured to a CAN bitrate of 250 kBit/s for operation with CC2x controller series.
If modules are configured to a CAN bitrate of 125 kBit/s, they can be re-configured by the crate controller
in a special regime. In this regime, the LED STATUS blinks green.
Please follow these steps to prepare modules for use with CC 2x crate controller series:
1. Please read all steps before starting the process!
2. Crate is connected to mains, the crate is turned off, no module is plugged into a slot
3. No connector is plugged into the CONTROL socket of CC 2x crate controller
4. Press and hold the button POWER-ON for about five seconds
5. The LED STATUS blinks slowly GREEN
6. If a module is recognized now, the controller switches into normal operation mode
◦ If no module is recognized, the controller enters CONFIGURATION MODE
7. The LED STATUS blinks quickly, the controller scans for a module at both bitrates
8. Insert exactly one module which bitrate should be adapted (by hot plugging).
◦ If the module is recognized on the wrong bitrate (i.e.125kBit/s), it will programmed to the correct bitrate
(250kBit/s) and restarted afterwards
9. If the module is (now) recognized at the correct bitrate, the LED STATUS blinks slowly
10. The module can be plugged out now and another module can be plugged in to repeat the configuration process from
step 5
11. Press the button POWER-ON for about one second to turn off the crate and exit the CONFIGURATION MODE
Crate Controller CC24/CC23 | v1.4 Last change on: 07.04.2017 | www.iseg-hv.com 12/28
INFORMATION
NOTE
In case of the need of reconfiguration to 125 kBit/s, the provided Bitrate Configuration dongle (shortens
Pin 2 and Pin 9) must be connected to the CONTROL connector before starting the configuration. The LED
STATUS blinks red instead of green in this case. You can contact iseg customer support for purchase
accessory parts (see page 13)
11 AC line power fail
Crate without Option UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
If a power fail is detected by the crate controller, which is connected to a crate without option UPS, the controller shuts down all
high voltages with a very fast ramp (1,000 percent / tenfold of nominal voltage per second), to avoid uncontrolled floating high
voltages.
If the AC line goes bad, the crate status bit Power Fail and it's corresponding Crate Event Status bit is set and the crate controllers
STATUS LED lights red.
Crate with Option UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
The function UPS offers protection against AC line power fails. This protection is provided by a power supply with integrated
batteries. The battery backup time is long enough to safely ramp down all high voltages before power loss.
ATTENTION
CAUTION
Please make sure that the extra fuse for UPS use is applied to the crate´s power supply.
The high voltage modules and the crate controller are supplied from the internal battery while the AC line is bad.
After ten seconds of line power fail, all modules begin to ramp down the high voltage with a ramp speed of two percent of
nominal voltage per second, which takes approx. 50 seconds when starting at maximum voltage.
Additional status and measurement values with UPS:
• The Crate Status bits Low +24 Battery and High +24 Battery are set when the measured battery voltage exceeds the
limits.
• The measured battery voltage can be read out by Crate Supply Measurement channel 8.
• The Crate Status bit High +24 Battery is also a hint for an open battery fuse.

How to connect via WiFi
1. Make sure to have the WiFi adapter onboard or external installed, all modules are plugged in and CAN connections if
used attached. Start the crate or device.
2. Use your mobile device or computer to search for existing WiFi networks and select „iseg-iCS_XXXX“ (serial). Enter the
factory default password (password) .
3. Open a recommended web-browser3 and enter the factory default IP address (192.168.1.1)
4. Enter the factory default username (admin) and password (password)
How to connect via Ethernet
For Ethernet connections with the use of factory defaults, it is necessary to know the IP address of the iCS server first.
By default the iCS is configured to obtain the IP automatically by DHCP. To discover the IP address of the iCS, a small software
application iCSfinder can be used. It scans the local network for running iCS services.
iCS also provides UPnP and Zeroconf/Bonjour messages, which can be discovered, e.g. in Windows using „Network“
environment.
INFORMATION
NOTE
To discover iCS installations on the local network, a small utility iCSfinder can be used
It can be downloaded here:
http://download.iseg-hv.com/ SOFTWARE /iCS/ iCSfinder/ iCSfinder-1.0_ win .zip
http://download.iseg-hv.com/ SOFTWARE /iCS/ iCSfinder/ iCSfinder-1.0_ mac .zip
http://download.iseg-hv.com/ SOFTWARE /iCS/ iCSfinder/ iCSfinder-1.0_ linux .zip
Note: If you wish to set a fixed address without preconnecting via DHCP, please use a (temporarily) WiFi
connection to setup OR follow the instructions of (re)setting the ethernet settings (see chapter ethernet
configuration)
Hint: If you experience problems using iCSfinder, please try using free software tools like “IP
SCANNER” / MAC or “ADVANCED IP SCANNER” (Windows)
1. Make sure to have the network cable, all modules plugged in and all CAN connections if used attached. Start the crate.
2. Open a recommended web-browser and enter the current IP address (see preparations before)
3. Enter the factory default username (admin) and password (password)
iCSconfig: manage hardware, service and preferences
iCS has a comprehensive set of configurable properties. All of them are stored in a XML file, to keep configuration flexible. This
enables the possibility to have multiple configuration setups stored and restored using the import / export utility.

Hardware
In the hardware section, all iCS connected devices like connected crates, controllers and modules are listed and configurable.
Each device is represented by a tab, modules and controllers are nested into their responding crates. The CAN lines of the crates
are presented with a yellow or green upper tab border (corresponding to yellow or green CAN line), master crates and modules in
legacy crates with a blue upper tab border.
Crate Controller CC24/CC23 | v1.4 Last change on: 07.04.2017 | www.iseg-hv.com 16/28
The configuration is stored independently from the current hardware setup or connected states. This gives the opportunity to
detect misconfigurations and recent hardware setups can easily be restored.
To apply the complete detected hardware state into the configuration use the „auto configuration“ button after triggering a
rescan using the „ rescan hardware “ button.
To apply the detected config of just one device (controller or module) use the „apply config“ button under each single tab.
The devices information is stored with the information of „module/device config“ column. Here the line and address ID are shown
and a serial number can be entered (or applied by using auto configuration / apply). If the model of the hardware device could be
detected automatically, a model is selected in the dropdown list, otherwise it should be selected manually.

Information in the row „module settings /device settings“ are module / device specific settings and are stored into the XML
configuration file. These settings will get lost when using auto-configuration or apply config functionality.
Ethernet configuration
The ethernet settings of the iCS server hardware (CC2x Crate Controller, iCSmini) can be changed under the ethernet tab. By
turning DHCP Client to enabled the iCS will try to obtain an IP address from the local networks DHCP server. Otherwise the IP can
be set fixed. Therefore DHCP client must be disabled and IP v4.0 settings can be entered manually.
ETHERNET FACTORY DEFAULTS
IP DHCP
GATEWAY empty
NAMESERVER empty
DNS empty
TIMESERVER empty
(Re)set / ethernet configuration
You can reset the ethernet configuration and also set to fixed IP adress e.g. cause of problems with DHCP IP relay using the
following procedure:
1. Shut down all modules/devices and turn off the iCS System by unplugging mains.
2. Create an empty file called “RESET_NET.txt” on a USB flash drive (FAT32 format)
3. Now edit the file. It should contain the following entries, separated by new lines.
CONTENT OF RESET_NET.txt
LINE PARAMETER EXAMPLE DEFAULT-VALUE
0 IP adress / DHCP 192.168.2.10 DHCP
1 NET MASK 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

6. Please wait about 20 seconds until iCS has started completely
7. optional: Plug off the USB flash drive and check on a computer if the file created on point 2 is still there.
Check if RESET_NET.txt was renamed into RESET_NET.txt.done on success.
WiFi configuration
The WiFi configuration can change configuration of the wireless network provided by the iCS hardware access point (optional).
Generally the WiFi function can be disabled using the WiFi support switch. The IP address of the WiFi is fixed, so once connected
with a iCS WiFi the IP stays always the same.
WIFI FACTORY DEFAULTS
IP (fixed) 192.168.1.1
SSID iseg-iCS2_[HARDWARE SERIAL-NUMBER ]
Channel 5
Password password
Users / roles configuration
Users of iCScontrol can be added, edited and removed in the users section. Users of iCScontrol can be added, edited and
removed in the users section. Users can be assigned roles, such like admin, user etc. One or more users can be selected by
editing a role.
USER DEFAULTS
User admin
Password password
Role admin
Access control lists (ACL)
With the access control list rights to grant or forbid control on special objects for principals (roles or users) is managed. This gives
a powerful tool for very detailled right mechanism.
INFORMATION
NOTE
Note: Users, roles and ACL are only applied for user authentication for applications and services, which
are based on iCSservice. These are iCScontrol, iCSconfig, isegControl, SOAP and HTTP API.
isegHAL based services should implement own security mechanisms .
SSH access
The ICS2 Linux host system can be fully accessed as root user using a encrypted SSH shell access over port 22.
This enables user to install own services or freely configure, e.g.EPICS plugins etc.
INFORMATION
The local filesystem is divided into a system and a user data partition. To make changes on the readonly
Crate Controller CC24/CC23 | v1.4 Last change on: 07.04.2017 | www.iseg-hv.com 18/28
NOTE mounted system part use the following command: mount / -o remount,rw
(Re)set SSH access
INFORMATION
NOTE
To protect your iCS system we strongly advice to change the standard factory password into a new
userdefined one. Keep this password secret!
For security reasons this is only possible with direct hardware access using the following procedure:
1. Create a file RESET_SSH.txt with your new Root Passwort as content in the first line and save it to an USB flash memory
(FAT32 format). Note: if the file is emtpy, the iCS root password will be reset to factory default
2. Plug the stick into iCS hardware and resboot iCS.
3. The iCS changes the password during the boot process. In case of success the file will be renamed into
RESET_SSH.txt.done.
iCS Factory Reset Invocation
In case the user has forgotten his password or simply wants to get back to factory default configuration, it is possible to invoke a
factory reset. For factory reset a USB flash drive (USB stick) with a FAT32/FAT16 partition is needed.
ATTENTION
CAUTION
After factory reset all hardware configurations will get lost!
Instructions
1. Shut down all modules / devices and turn off the iCS System by unplugging mains.
2. On the USB flash drive create an empty file called “RESET_ICS.txt”
3. Plug USB flash drive into the USB slot at the front panel of the Crate-Controller
4. Plug in mains
5. Please wait about 20 seconds until iCS has started completely
6. optional: Plug off the USB flash drive and check on a computer if the file created on point 2 is still there.
If not, the factory reset was succesful.

EPICS
For the use of iseg hardware with Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) the iCS comes with a preinstalled
integrated Input-Output-Controller (IOC). This service can be enabled or disabled using the switch „enable EPICS input / output
controller“. To keep things straight-forward the iCS can generate IOC configuration files (.db and .sub), using the current hardware
configuration. Both files can be downloaded to the local computer, be edited manually, e.g. with a text editor and be uploaded
again. This gives a quick start to run an IOC out of the box. To get an overview on all available process variables (PV), which are
generated at the start of IOC, the PV list can be downloaded using the respective button. The IOC script combines a process
variable definition file (.db) with a substitution file (.sub), which contains hardware setup information and placeholders to create
all accessable process-variables at runtime.

isegHALService
The isegHALservice provides a secure sockets encrypted end-to-endpoint access to iseg Hardware layer running on crate
Controller / iCSmini hardware. The isegHALservice API is similar to isegHALapi with some specific extension. Please refer
Appendix “isegHAL” for details. For an easy start a simple example program isegHalRemoteExample demonstrates the remote
access. There are virtual instruments (VIs) which are based on the library “isegHAL-remote” in order to control iseg hardware via
LabVIEW4.
SNMPservice
For backward compatbility of the iCS2 to SNMP controlled systems like WIENER mPOD iCS2 is able to communicate using the
SNMP service.
The service can be enabled or disabled using the switch „enable SNMP interface“.
Using the current iCS2 hardware configuration a SNMP configuration can be automatically generated. To create a new SNMP
configuration, which is compatible to WIENER Configuration file (.mib) please use button “generate configuration” under the
SNMP tab in iCSconfig.
For user specific changes of configuration, the .mib (vendor specific definition of datapoints) and .sub (substition information with
list of hardware channels) files can be downloaded, locally modified and reuploaded.
Please note: local modifications will overwritten every time the “generate configuration” function will be used.
