Chapter 1 - Introduction

CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION

The X501NET is a network device. It has no local display or keyboard. It is configured through the same local area network (LAN) connection that it uses to pass the data it collects.

The X501NET has a built-in web server and uses the HTTP protocol for configuration. No special software is required. Any computer attached to the same LAN as the X501NET can use a JavaScript enabled web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, FireFox, etc) to configure the X501NET.

1.1 Overview

The X501NET is a component of Ronan’s Sequence of events Recorder (SER) system. An SER is an electronic system which monitors external inputs and records the time and sequence of the changes of the inputs.

SER Functional Diagram

1.1.1 X501NET

The X501NET Multiplexers is an event acquisition device. It:

• monitors field contacts,

• detects changes in signals,

• time-stamps the signals changes as events,

Chapter 1 - Introduction

• maintains a copy of the most recent 8000 events,

• sends the events to master station(s),

• optionally sends the events to window annunciator(s), and

• optionally generate IRIG-B

One or more event acquisition device(s) are always part of an SER system.

1.1.2 Master Station

The master station(s):

• receives events

from the event acquisition devices (e.g. X501NET),

• stores the events on the database server, and

• provides a user interface to the SER system.

1.1.3 Database Server

The database server maintains the event history. It is written to by the master station(s) can be accessed by the master station(s) and user work station(s).

1.1.4 User Workstation

User workstations allow plant personnel access to the event status and history. They also provide a interface to configure the X501NET(s),

1.1.5 Window Annunciator

A window annunciator (such as the Ronan X110) is a display device that shows events and process status by lighting individual windows. A window annunciator provides plant operators with an instantly identifiable view of plant status and can save critical seconds when problems occur.

1.1.6 Network Connection (LAN/WAN)

The network connects all of the parts of the SER system. Logically, the network is always the same, it simply passed messages between the components of the SER system. In physical implementation, the network is the most variable part of the SER system. It can be as simple a single LAN or as complex as a set of LANs interconnected by the both public (e.g. world wide web) and private data networks.

1.2 Getting Started

To get started using the X501NET configuration program you need a computer with web

This function is called an Event Producer by IEC 60870.

attached to the same LAN as the X501NET. Put the address4 of the X501NET that you

Chapter 1 - Introduction

wish to configure into the address bar of the browser and hit return. Then click the Login button, enter your user name and password5 and you should be able to start using the configuration program.

1.3 X501 Hardware Description

The X501NET Multiplexers, designed for industrial application, are available for rack mount or surface mount NEMA (IP) enclosures. Each multiplexer houses single or dual power supplies for field contact and logic voltage capable of accepting single or dual power sources such as 115/235 Vac or 115 Vac/125 Vdc or 24, 48 Vdc. The single or dual multiplexer-controller provides for input card status interrogation, time tagging of events to 1 ms resolution, storing of up to 8,000 events, queuing of events, and transfer of events via several popular configurable communication protocols (IEC 60870, DNP 3.0, TCP/IP) over 10 Mbs 10baseT communication layer to the respective subscribers of events present on the network.

Four version6 of the controller card for the X501NET are available:

• Two versions that include an GPS time receiver with simple cable/antenna interface and

IRIG-B generator output input (models PL1 and PL3), and

• Two versions support IRIG-B input (models PL2 and PL4)

Additional standard features are temperature controlled precision oscillator, NTP (Network Time Protocol) for backup synchronization and complete web server for simple browser interface configuration and monitoring facilities. Up to 8,000 event local data storage, hardware/software diagnostic, field contact input test that includes the opto-isolator input circuit. The sixteen input modules, each serving eight input contacts, are microprocessor controlled for input status interrogation, status change queuing, digital filters by individual inputs for alarm, return-tonormal, debounce, and normally open/normally closed field contact logic. This multiplexer is a self-sustained event acquisition, recorder, and producer unit.

CHAPTER 2 – INTERFACE

The X501NET configuration interface is a series of web pages that can be accessed through any web browser. Access to this interface is accomplished by putting the TCP/IP address of the device to be configured into web browser’s address bar and pressing the enter key.

The above picture shows using Internet Explorer to access an X501NET at address7

192.168.1.235.

2.1 Common Elements

The X501NET configuration uses common elements as much as possible to make the interface consistent and easy to use.

2.1.1 Common Buttons

Button Action

Pressing the Continue button takes the user to the previous page.

Pressing the Goto Bottom of page button takes the user to the bottom of the current page.

Pressing the Goto top of page button takes the user to the top of the current page.

Pressing the Logout button logs out the current user. After pressing the Logout button it is necessary for a user to login

before any other menu pages can be accessed. Pressing the Main Menu button takes the user to the Main

Menu page. Pressing the Restore original values button restores

the last saved values for all parameters on the page. Note: it does NOT restore the values to original factory settings.

When an X501NET is manufactured it programmed with the default TCP/IP address of 192.168.1.234. Before it is shipped to the customer it is configured to the specific TCP/IP address required for the customer installation. Typically, MUX1 has TCP/IP address 192.168.1.234, MUX2 has TCP/IP address 192.168.1.235, and so on.

Pressing the Save button causes the changes made by the
