Chapter One Product Description

The Falcon Monitoring System is a comprehensive system which monitors critical operating parameters in enterprises, remote network facilities, communication rooms, remote and unmanned facilities, and critical support systems. The Falcon is a stand alone system. It operates via embedded software that handles all data collection, alarm reporting, and multiple concurrent communication mediums:

• The EIA-485 port allows a user to interconnect five units in a multi-drop topology.

• The EIA-232 direct connection facilitates firmware downloads, system configuration, inquiries, and alarm reporting.

• The internal modem provides dial in/out remote access support for the PC interface, inquiry and alarm reporting, numeric and alphanumeric paging, alarm acknowledgement, PPP to ISP, e-mail over a dial-up connection, and DTMF output relay control.

• The Ethernet 10BaseT network port supports SNMP V1 MIB for persistent alarm traps, e-mail alarm delivery, information inquiry, I/O configuration and modification, and alarm acknowledgement. This port also supports a UDP command set for third-party access and development.

• BACNet allows the Falcon to communicate with building management systems.

• The built-in Web Server enables the Falcon’s web interface. This allows the Falcon to be configured and its status to be checked from remote locations.

10BaseT network port, status LEDs, and an interface for one option card. The power source for the standard unit is a 24VDC wall adapter. An optional 48VDC unit (FMS8-48) is available. Option cards provide additional digital and analog inputs, up to 32 per unit. Reference Appendix A for option card configurations.

The Falcon performs internal diagnostics that check the flash program code, serial ports, RAM, non-volatile RAM, real-time clock, internal power supplies, relay drivers, analog to digital converter (ADC), and modem. During operation, the Falcon monitors its status and uses several LED indicators to report its condition. The functions of these LEDs are described later in this manual.

The embedded Falcon software enables system configuration, I/O setup, status inquiries, alarm reports, data logs, and troubleshooting. Falcon software is menu driven and operates with any ASCII terminal or terminal emulation application such as HyperTerminal.

The universal inputs can be configured for digital signals - Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) dry contacts - or analog signals (4-20mA). The system will report any change of state or values above or below specific set points. Data is logged for all analog points. The high, low, and average readings for each analog point are captured in minute, hour, and day logs. Alarms for all configured points are recorded in the alarm history log. All logs are fixed field delimited for easy data extraction and upload to other programs. Output relays can be activated through manual intervention or triggered by any input. Appropriate time delays can be set for each relay. The Falcon can provide 24VDC power for external sensors.

The standard Falcon (FMS8) is configured in a rack mount enclosure with eight universal inputs, two digital output relays, a keypad interface, a power source for external sensors, one EIA-485 port, one EIA-232 port, one internal modem, one Ethernet

The Falcon supports a 3x4 numeric keypad interface for controlled access to critical areas. Twenty access codes and descriptions can be entered through the configuration port or over the network via the web browser interface. Access is granted when the system validates a keypad entry. The system generates an

Chapter Two Installation

1. The Falcon comes in a 19” rack mount

enclosure. Install the Falcon in the rack. Use the proper anchoring method to mount the unit securely.

2. Supply either 24VDC or 48VDC to the

unit.

Units have different model numbers. 24VDC model: FMS8

48VDC model: FMS8-48 Verify the model number and power rating (on back of unit) before applying power.

3. The Falcon will not communicate over a user’s network the first time it is connected to the network. The manufacturer programs the Falcon with a default IP address:

10.0.0.186, subnet: 255.255.255.0.

This default address must be changed to an IP address that corresponds with the user’s network before the Falcon can communicate over the network.

a. Plug the crossover network cable that

shipped with the Falcon unit into the laptop or workstation that will be used to configure the Falcon. This cable is not intended to be connected to a network hub.

b. Write down the computer’s IP address.

Then change the IP address of the computer from its existing address to one that will allow it to communicate with the Falcon, such as 10.0.0.185. It may be beneficial to set the IP address to one that is one number different from the Falcon’s IP address.

ii. On the Configuration tab of the

Network screen, double click the

TCP/IP Ethernet component.

iii. On the IP Address tab of the

TCP/IP Properties screen, specify the appropriate

IP address. Click OK.

The computer’s IP address has been changed.

c. Connect the other end of the network

cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Falcon.

d. Change the IP address of the Falcon to one

provided by the network administrator. This allows the Falcon to communicate on the network.

e. Change the IP address of the computer

back to its original IP address. If the computer was configured as DHCP - the network domain controller assigns it an IP

address, return it to this state. . f. The computer and the Falcon are now

both configured to communicate on the

network. Both should be accessible via the

network.

4. The Falcon can be configured through

the web interface or through the EIA-232 interface. To use the web interface, follow the direction in Part Two of this guide. To use the EIA-232 interface:

a. Connect the EIA-232 port on the Falcon

to a terminal or PC running terminal

emulation software (HyperTerminal) with

a 9-Pin Male-Female straight through

serial cable.

Win95/98/NT directions

i. Click on Start > Settings >

Control Panel > Network.

b. Set the appropriate COM port to

baud, NO parity, 8 data bits,

1 stop bit, (9600/N/8/1), and

no software or hardware flow

control.

Chapter Three Main Menu

The Falcon’s web interface main menu provides a convenient way to check the Falcon’s status and reconfigure basic settings from any Internet-enabled computer. A click of the mouse allows users with proper permissions to view the monitoring system’s output and alter specific Falcon configuration settings.

The Falcon is shipped to the user with the IP address configured as 10.0.0.186 and a subnet of

255.255.255.0. The user name is preconfigured as Falcon. The unit is configured without a password; when a password is requested, just leave the space blank. These preconfigurations can be changed to a personalized IP address, user name, and password. Do this through the System link on the Configuration Menu of the web interface.

To access the Falcon web interface, simply type the IP address of the Falcon into the location bar of the web browser. Then enter a user name and password.

Initial Falcon IP Address Configuration:

Refer to chapter two to learn how to change the Falcon’s factory assigned IP address to one that will enable it to work within a user’s network.

The bottom of the Falcon web interface features two columns that list the Falcon’s configured inputs. The number of inputs displayed corresponds with the number of inputs on the Falcon. Each input is numbered. The input’s name is followed by its status.

The space behind each input is shaded. This shading changes as the input’s status changes. This allows users to tell, at a glance, the status of their points. Shading is as follows: Green: Input is normal - not in an alarm state. Yellow: Analog inputs only - input is in high

alarm 1 or low alarm 1 state.

Red: Analog input - input is in high alarm 2

or low alarm 2 state.

Digital input - input is in an alarm

state.

Blue: Alarm/Input disabled by a schedule.

IP Configuration

The IP Conﬁ guration link allows users to change the Falcon’s IP address.

Contact a network administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the network. Then, type the appropriate IP address, net mask (subnet), and default route into the interface.

HTTP Port

The Falcon broadcasts its web pages on port: 80 of the IP address assigned. A zero in the field block defaults the Falcon to Port: 80. This can be changed to a specific port allowing increased security of the web page broadcast.

TCP Max Segment Size 1436 or 536

The Falcon is defaulted to send web pages at a 1436 TCP seg. size. A smaller TCP seg. size helps with a conjested network.

The number for numeric and alphanumeric pager entries. Each comma after the pager number represents a two second delay. This delay is used to allow enough time for the pager service to answer before requesting the pager ID. Experimentation with the proper number of commas may be necessary.

The

Pager ID field is mandatory for numeric and

alphanumeric pagers. Alphanumeric pager - This ID is sent to the

paging service along with all queued alarm messages. The ID is the unique PIN for a specific pager. The ID may be a maximum of 16 characters.

Numeric pager - The ID may be configured to

deliver different numeric messages. The ID can contain 15 characters: any combination of the numerals 0 through 9 and a

* or #. These are

the only characters that will be transmitted to the paging service.

Each paging service interprets * and # differently. Before using these characters, consult the paging service to see how they are interpreted and when they should be used.

An effective numeric page depends largely on the parameters established by the paging service. Experimentation may be required to achieve desired results.

Unit Start-Up

When the unit is powered up, diagnostic tests are performed and the flash program code is verified. The main system code is executed after a ten second delay. During the bootup sequence, the System Status LED will f lash at a rapid rate of 10 flashes per second. If the System Status LED continues to flash for more then ten seconds, there is a fault with the unit and service is required. Output similar to the screen shown should appear on the terminal or terminal emulation software.

This option allows the user to monitor the input voltage that powers the Falcon. If the Falcon is powered by a voltage source that may be less than 20V, it should be monitored.

Menu Selection 2: Trip point at which an alarm sounds.

Menu Selection 3: Numbers to call when in alarm state.

Menu Selection 4: Correct for any offset introduced by the measurement circuitry of the Falcon. The Falcon has its own meter which reads the voltage of incoming power. Measure the voltage with an independent meter and adjust this offset accordingly. The Falcon’s meter may not read the most accurate voltage, due to the operation of the Falcon itself.

7 - Analog Averaging

Allows the user to change the averaging method for analog inputs. Normally, the system samples analog points once a second while keeping track of high and low values for each analog point. After sixty seconds, the average of these readings and the high and low values for these points are recorded in the minute log. To alter this method of averaging, change the value to one of the values listed in the parentheses. Zero or one maintains the method described above; a higher value changes the method of averaging and the manner by which high and low values are recorded.

An example of how averaging is altered and how it impacts high and low recordings is shown here.

• Analog averaging value is set to 5.

• The analog point is a temperature sensor.

• Temperature readings are displayed for an eleven second period:

70,70,70,71,71,72,72,73,73,74,74

Average = 73, High Value = 73, Low Value = 70

Under normal conditions, the average reading would equal 71, the high value would equal 74, and the low value would equal 70. By changing the averaging method, the average reading ends up at 73, the high value at 73, and the low value for this example remains the same. In a sense, averaging slows down the sensor response and the rate of change. This parameter impacts all analog points.

Falcon User Guide

2 - IP Configuration Menu

This menu is used to establish SNMP interaction with the network. The Falcon must be set up with an IP address, mask, and default route. These addresses can be obtained from the Network Administrator.

To enable the SNMP receiving stations (create communities), the Falcon MIB, provided on a diskette with every unit, must be loaded on a system(s) running a Network Operating System (NOS). This MIB is compiled through standard functions of the NOS. Consult with the Network Administrator for proper installation of the Falcon MIB on the NOS. Once the MIB is loaded, the Falcon Unit(s) can be discovered and configured over the network. For proper operation, the IP addresses configured in the Falcon communities must match the IP addresses on the receiving stations.

Option 3 allows entry of a pager ID. This is mandatory for numeric and alphanumeric pagers.

Alphanumeric pager - This ID is sent to the paging service along with all queued alarm messages. The ID is the unique PIN for a specific pager. The ID may be a maximum of 16 characters.

Numeric pager - The ID may be configured to deliver different numeric messages. The ID can contain 15 characters: any combination of the numerals

0-9, and a * or #. These are the only

characters that will be transmitted to the paging service.

Each paging service interprets * and #

differently. Before using these characters, consult the paging service to see how they are interpreted and when they should be used.

A $ can be added or inserted anywhere into the message string. This is converted into a 5 digit alarm code:

X - binary alarm condition: 1=on, 0=return to

XYZZZ.

An effective numeric page depends largely on the parameters established by the paging service. Experimentation may be required to achieve desired results.

Option

4 configures an acknowledgement code - any

number, up to six digits, used to acknowledge receipt of an alarm and to terminate any additional call outs for this phone number.

Option

5 designates whether to call this number

again once the alarm condition returns to normal.

Option

7 moves the interface ahead to configure

the next phone number in the system. Sixteen total numbers may be configured.

Falcon User Guide

Other settings available from the Modem Configuration Menu:

Option

pd designates the number of times to call the

pager until the alarm is acknowledged - 1 to 255. Pagers are called in sequence. For example, if

is set to 3 and pagers 1, 7, and 10 are programmed to be notified, the Falcon dials 1, 7, 10, 1, 7, 10, 1, 7, 10. As soon as the alarm is acknowledged, the Falcon quits dialing the pagers with that particular access code. Pagers with different access codes are still dialed.

pi allots the number of minutes to wait between

redials.

pa establishes a number to call if the alarm isn’t

acknowledged (

pi time - 1). A numbered contact

(one through 16) designates the number to call.

pb designates the pager baud rate.

Pager Unsuccessful Traps will allow the

Falcon to send an SNMP trap to the NMS if set to

YES.

4 - EIA-485 Configuration Menu

This menu is used to create polling addresses for units wired in series on the EIA-485 bus, as well as the communications baud rate for the bus. Before entering addresses, ensure each unit’s SW2 is set properly. Refer to page 12 for proper settings. Each address must be a unique number from 2 through

254. The Master EIA-485 Menu is only accessible through Falcon units configured as master units.

Option

1 is the polling address. The polling address

must consist of unique numbers from 2 to 254. This entry must match the slave unit settings.

Option

2 sets the baud rate. 9600 is the default

baud rate setting.

Option

3 configures the alarm to dial out upon

a communications loss. When prompted to enter the new alarm assignment, select any five of the 16 previously programmed phone numbers to dial.

PPP Access

Chapter Ten .................. Conﬁ gure PPP .............................. 81

Falcon User Guide

Chapter Ten Configure PPP

Point-to-point protocol (PPP) is an alternate method that may be used to communicate with the Falcon. PPP can only be used through a modem, over a phone line.

The Falcon and the user’s computer must both be configured in order for PPP to work. To configure the Falcon:

1. Access the Falcon’s web interface. Click on

the

Configuration link. Enter the correct

user name and password (if necessary).

From the Configuration Menu, click on the

System link. On the System Configuration

page, click on the IP link.

2. The IP Configuration page lists the IP

addresses configured on the Falcon. Both the

PPP Server and PPP Assignment fields

need to be completed in order for PPP to work.

Configuration Menu

Now the user is ready to configure the PC they will be dialing in from. These directions were written from a Windows 2000 machine. To configure the PC:

1. Click on

Network and Dial-up Connections.

Start, then Settings, then

When the Network and Dial-up Connection window appears, click on

area code and country

5. Decide if the connection should be available to all users or just this user, and select the appropriate option. Click the

Next button.

PPP Server assigns an IP address to the

Falcon for PPP communications. Any IP address may be used, as long as it is not in the same subnet as the Falcon’s primary IP address. A good example of an IP address to use is:

192.168.1.2

Use this address to view the Falcon web

interface through a browser when communicating with the Falcon through PPP.

PPP Assignment tells the Falcon what IP

address to assign to the PC the user dials in from. Again, any IP address may be used, as long as it is in the same subnet as the

Server IP address. A good example of an IP

address to use for the

PPP Assignment is:

PPP

192.168.1.3

6. Name the connection and add a shortcut to the desktop. Click the

Finish button.

Use this desktop shortcut to establish a PPP connection with the Falcon.

Chapter Twelve............Upload via EIA-232 Port............ 85

Falcon User Guide

Chapter Eleven Upload via TFTP Client

Preferred Method - Does not work with PPP connection

1. If you do not have a TFTP client, download one from the Internet. RLE recommends the Walusoft freeware client, available at www.walusoft.co.uk/download.htm. A TFTP server application may download with the client. Only install the TFTP client on your PC.

2. Download the most recent version of firmware appropriate for your Falcon from the RLE web site: www.rletech.com/support/index.html. Save it to the C:\ drive of your computer. Do not change the name of the file. The name of the file, as downloaded from the RLE web site, must remain the same. It is important that you confirm the correct version of firmware before you download and attempt to install it. The Falcon’s MAC ID is printed on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. Falcons with MAC IDs from 00.90.5B.02.00.00 and above accept different firmware than other Falcons. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD THE WRONG FIRMWARE ONTO A FALCON! If you have any questions regarding firmware compatibility, contact RLE.

3. The Falcon can only accept two copies of firmware at a time. Before a new version can be uploaded, the oldest version must be deleted. To do this, access the

Program link on the Configuration Menu

of the Falcon’s web interface. Click the

Backup button to erase the oldest version of

firmware.

It will take approximately ten seconds for

the firmware to be erased. A confirmation screen will appear once the firmware has

Chapter Twelve Upload via EIA-232 Port

1. Connect a terminal emulator to the Falcon as detailed in section 1.2 of this manual.

2. Firmware updates can be started two ways:

a. After power-up, a ten second window

provides the user an opportunity to press a key to abort the Flash Main Program from executing, OR

b. From the Main Menu, the user can enter

to begin the firmware update process.

3. The Main program must be erased before an upload can be performed. To erase the code, the user must enter the command, after a second or so, the screen will update with an “OK”.

4. The user then enters a LOAD XMODEM command. The firmware file is chosen from the PC directory and uploaded using the Xmodem-1k protocol. The file must be binary and have a .bin extension.

5. After the file has been uploaded, the user may then enter the the Falcon and then turn it back on.

Installation

Option cards may be installed by the manufacturer at the time of the initial product order, or may be ordered at a later date and installed by the customer. If a customer orders an option card after they have possession of the Falcon unit, they must install the option card themselves.

The Falcon’s option card is shipped with a ribbon cable and one screw. To install a Falcon option card:

1. Remove the four screws that secure the lid to

the Falcon. Lift off the lid.

2. Remove the sticker, labeled “Falcon 12

Channel Expansion Card Option” from the back of the lid.

3. Align the holes in the option card with the

four posts and one screw setting on the main Falcon unit. Make sure the two double rows of pins align next to each other, and the green inputs point toward the rear of the unit.

4. Snap the option card onto the four posts and

secure the provided screw into the remaining hole. Once the card snaps into place, it is very difficult to remove. Do not be tempted to overlook installation of the screw. This

screw grounds the option card, and is critical to the Falcon’s performance.

5. The main Falcon board must now be connected to the option card. The two are connected with a ribbon cable, provided by the manufacturer. The ends of the ribbon cable are keyed, which means they will only fit onto the two double rows of pins - one on the main board, one on the option card - in one direction. Align the keyed sides of the ribbon cable with the notches in the plastic surrounding the rows of pins, and push down securely. Always place and remove the ribbon cable with a straight up and down motion. Pulling the cable to one side or another will bend the pins in the connectors and damage the boards.

6. Installation is complete. Place the lid back on the Falcon and secure it with four screws.

Convert Current Input Channels to Voltage Input Channels

When the Falcon’s optional 12 channel universal input card is delivered to the customer, its channels are configured for current inputs (4-20 mA). Some

Falcon User Guide

sensors, however, may require voltage input channels (0-5V or 0-10V). The customer may manually reconfigure any or all current input channels as voltage input channels if necessary.

The headers on the option card are labeled P9 through P20. Each number corresponds with a channel: P9 corresponds with channel 9, P10 with channel 10, etc. Each header has two parallel columns of five pins. Some pins are connected with jumpers. Changing these header settings converts a current channel to a voltage channel and vice versa.

To configure a header as a current channel (4-20mA), connect pins 1 and 3 with one jumper. Connect pins 2 and 4 with another jumper. Connect pins 7 and 8 with a third jumper.

Option cards are shipped from the factory with all headers configured as current channels.

To configure a header as a voltage channel (0-5V or 0-10V), connect pins 3 and 5 with one jumper.

Connect pins 4 and 6 with another jumper. Connect pins 9 and 10 with a third jumper.
