Battery Life Advisory

All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 51 2K SRAM memory, real-time clock, and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module. The module must be powered for approximately twenty hours before it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K SRAM memory for approximately 21 days. Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days. When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.

Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

2.6 [IEC-103 Master Session x Sector y]

Within each session definition, is a parameter that specifies the number of sectors for the session. For each sector defined for a session, there must exist a [IEC-103 Master Session x Sector y] section. Where the x value represents the session index and the y value represents sector index. For example if session 0 contains 1 sector, there must be a section with the following name in the configuration file: [IEC-103 Master Session 0 Sector 0].

2.6.1 Common ASDU Address

0 to 255 This parameter sets the common ASDU address to association with this sector of

the specified session. This parameter is usually set the same as the data link address when only one sector is used.

2.6.2 Online Time Sync.

Yes or No This parameter specifies if the sector in the controlled device will be sent a time

synchronization command when the unit is first recognized as being online. This should only be used for devices that do not send an EOI message after initializing.

2.6.3 Online General Int

Yes or No This parameter specifies if the sector in the controlled device will be sent a

general interrogation command when the unit is first recognized as being online. This should only be used for devices that do not send an EOI message after initializing.

2.6.4 EOI Time Sync.

Yes or No This parameter specifies if the sector in the controlled device will be sent a time

synchronization command after this module received an EOI message from the controlled unit.

2.6.5 EOI General Int

Yes or No This parameter specifies if the sector in the controlled device will be sent a

general interrogation command after this module received an EOI message from the controlled unit.

2.7 [IEC-103 Master Commands]

This section can contain up to 1000 user defined commands to be executed by the module and sent to the controlled devices. There is no need to place Class 1 or Class 2 polls in the this list for the controlled devices as the master driver for each port will execute these automatically when the port is idle. In order for the port to be idle, make sure that there is idle time available, and that the commands do not constantly utilize the ports. The command list section starts with a reserved label START and ends with the label END. Each row in the file corresponds to an individual command with the first character position in each row left blank (white space).

As an alternative to using a command list, blocks with an identification code of 9901 can be used to issue commands from the ladder logic.

2.7.1 Enable Code

0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled with Poll Interval (seconds) utilized 2 = Conditional (executed when point in database changes) This field defines whether or not the command is to be executed and under what

conditions. If the parameter is set to 0, the command is disabled and will not be executed in the normal polling sequence. The command can be executed under the control of the PLC processor through the use of a Command Control block. Setting the parameter to a value of 1 for the command causes the command to be executed each scan of the command list if the Poll Interval Time is set to zero. If the Poll Interval time is set, the command will be executed, when the interval timer expires. If the parameter is set to 2, the command will execute only if the internal data associated with the command changes. This value is valid only for write commands.

2.7.2 Database Index

Database Index is the location in the module's database to use as the source for the data in the command. The data type field determines the meaning of the index as follows:

Type Description DB Index type

6 Clock synchronization NA 7 General interrogation NA 20 General Command Bit address

2.7.3 Poll Interval

This parameter specifies the minimum frequency at which the module should execute the command. The value is entered in units of seconds. For example, to execute a command every 10 seconds, enter a value of 10 in the field. A value of 0 for the parameter implies that the command should be executed every scan of the list.

2.7.4 Session Index

Session Index represents the session index in the module to associate with the command. This index is set when the session is read in from this file. The range of values for this field is 0 to 31.

2.7.5 Sector Index

Sector Index represents the sector index for the specific session. The range of values for this field is 0 to 2.

2.7.6 Data Type

Data type file represents the ASDU type as follows: 6 = Time synchronization 7 = General Interrogation 20 = General Command

2.7.7 Function Code

Code Definition 128 Distance protection 160 Overcurrent protection 176 Transformer differential protection 192 Line Differential protection 255 Global function type

2.7.8 Point Index

Point Index field specifies the address in the remote slave device of the point to interact with.
