4. General Information

The devices of which the SCM-TLC system consists are all made in 19" 2U rack containers, with the exception of the TLC300, which is 19" 1U size.

Entirely assembled with modules fitted on the base of the device and connected with snap-in fitting connectors, they are easily removed, substituted and added.

On the front panel is a clear graphical user interface which allows you to read and set the operating parameters; the entire system can be controlled using a simple knob (encoder).

On the front panel there is also a set of LEDs, again depending on the preset configuration, which show system status at a glance.

On the rear panel are all of the connectors to be used for connecting the device to the various station components.

The SCM-TLC automatic change over and telemetry system and relative management software were designed to solve all of those problems arising from the management of radio stations located in areas that are not easily reached or which would require a significant amount of time for the operator to reach.

The system has the following main functions:

• management of several radio stations by remote connection with a data-phone modem;

• telemetrization of all operating parameters of the devices present in each station;

• storage in the memory of events which caused faults;

• automatic change over in "1+1" or "N+1" radio transmission systems.

This system allows remote management of the radio station, allowing the operator to intervene immediately in the event of a fault.

The great flexibility of the SCM-TLC system allows an increase in the number of devices controlled or modification of the station layout at any time, without necessitating radical changes in the management system, but simply adding expansion cards which allow an increase in the number of operating parameters that can be managed.

The SCM-TLC system was designed to operate at its best with all R.V.R. devices, but can also function with devices not made by R.V .R., provided that they make the main operating parameters available externally by means of analog signals with values between 0 and +5V .

The management software has a user friendly interface and can be managed using any personal computer with the WINDOWS™ environment.

8 / 50 User ManualRev . 1.0 - 05/05/03

4.1 Configuration

The SCM-TLC system has two main types of operation, within which there may be various versions, depending on the number of data acquisition cards fitted: automatic change over (1+1 or N+1) and telemetry , or just telemetry .

4.1.1 Automatic change over and telemetry

Two types of devices control this type of operation:

• SCM 1+1-LCD: automatic change over between the main transmitter and a standby transmitter; supports up to 3 additional telemetry cards for a total of 30 balanced analog inputs, 58 digital/analog inputs and 24 relay outputs.

• SCM 4+1-LCD: automatic change over among several main transmitters (up to

4) and a stand-by transmitter , automatically configured to substitute the transmitter affected by the fault (the stand-by must have an external control for setting the operating frequency); supports up to 2 additional telemetry cards, for a total of 27 balanced analog inputs, 52 unbalanced digital/analog inputs and 16 relay outputs.

4.1.2 Telemetry

Two devices are available for st ation telemetry, depending on complexity and the number of parameters to be acquired:

• TLC300: includes 2 telemetry cards, for a total of 16 balanced analog inputs, 32 digital/analog inputs and 16 relay outputs.

• TLC2000: supports up to 6 additional telemetry cards, for a total of 48 balanced analog inputs, 96 unbalanced digital/analog inputs and 48 relay outputs.

5. Quick reference

The purpose of this chapter is to summarize the points that should be adhered to for using the machines. Should any point not be fully comprehensible, such as how to operate the machine the first time, the description of the operating system should be read very carefully .

5.1 Using the encoder

The interaction between the user and the control software of the device takes place by means of the encoder.

The following operations are performed on the encoder:

• turning: to move the cursor up or down on the display; turn the encoder to the left to move the cursor down, to the right to move the cursor up. Also used for increasing or decreasing the selected parameters (to the left to decrease the value, to the right to increase it) and for selecting an item from a list of options

• pressing: press the button once when the cursor is pointing to the name of a menu to access that menu, press the button when the cursor is pointing to a parameter to access the change mode (the cursor begins to blink). After having changed a parameter , press the button to store the new value.

After having changed a parameter , the cursor keeps blinking for about thirty seconds waiting for confirmation. If the user does not confirm the change, the machine emits a sound to warn the user that the change was not confirmed. As such, the cursor stop s blinking and points to the selected parameter .

Ruotare l’encoder verso sinistra per spostare il cursore verso il basso, per decrementare il valore di un parametro o per selezionare un elemento di una

Ruotare l’encoder verso destra per spostare il cursore verso l’alto, per incrementare il valore di un parametro o per selezionare un elemento di una li

Premere il pulsante una volta per entrare nel menù desiderato, quindi una seconda volta per modificare il parametro selezio

• Balanced analog with a limit voltage which can be adjusted between 2V and 12V using a trimmer (eight inputs);

• Unbalanced analog with a limit voltage fixed at 5V , or digital with 2.2 KOhm internal pull-up which can be switched on using a jumper (sixteen inputs).

The telemetry card also makes the contacts of eight relay switches available in output (max. 24V - 0.5A).

This is a normal telemetry card, but comes used from the management software of the system for check any basic parameters. The inside address of the card must always be the number 1. Externally is easily recognizable for the connectors DB25 and to the line of trimmers.

The inputs No.1 and No.2 are used from firmware for the alarms generation of forward and reflected power.

Limit voltages ranging from a minimum of 2V to a maximum of 12V can be applied to the balanced inputs. However, during data processing, the CPU works with a theoretical limit value of 5V. For this reason, there are eight trimmers (RV1-RV8), next to the connector, one for each input, which are used to adjust the limit value set externally to that of the internal circuitry .

T o prevent the non-linearity introduced by protective diodes, do not exceed the 4V limit.

1. Remote Control Software Description

1.1 Functioning

The program exploits the serial connection through RS232 with a modem for the connection to a remote RVR station.

Each RVR station is composed of several parts called "modules" that can be called sequentially in order to receive and send data. These data are interpreted in order to obtain the measurement value to which they refer.

The connection is always realized starting from the first module, either when the station is composed of several modules (TLC300, TLC2000, SCM) or when the station is composed of a single module (PTXLCD).

The maximum connection speed is 19200 baud when transmitting with a traditional telephonic line and 9600 baud when transmitting with a GSM telephone line.

1.6 Structure of the stations.

The T elecon sof tware works exclusively with databases. Each station present in the Telecon, is composed of several blocks called Modules. Inside the program folder, there are four folders called: Default, Module, Phbook and

Stations, which cont ain the database of the stations. Structure of the stations:

SCM-TLC

15 / 50User Manual Rev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

When the program is started the database used situated in the folder \PHBOOK\ is shown, ex. "Group_A.mdb". Each group represents a series of stations.

The database situated in the folder \PHBOOK\ contain the general information concerning the stations: telephone number , connection Baud Rate, COM port used, etc.

Each station included in a "Group_A.mdb" has a connection to a database situated in the folder \ST A TIONS\Group_A\, which contains the names of the database of the modules that compose it. Such databases are situated in the folder \MODULE\Group_A\ and are copied and renamed when the creation of the station from the folder \DEFAUL T\ happens.

Example: Let's imagine a group called "Radio1", which contains one station only called "TX500".

The record of the database "Radio1.mdb" will be composed in the following way:

Name Descriptions Phone ModemString DialString DBName Com Baud Type InitString Protocol

TX500 -- None -- 01239 ATX3 ATDT TX500.MDB

140

9600,n,8,1 PROTOCOL_RVR

The area "DBName" contains the name of the database (TX500.mdb) situated in the folder \STATIONS\Radio1\ which contains the information concerning the composition of the station.

The database of the station, is composed by five tables:

• Alarm

Contains the data concerning the received alarms.

• Alarm_Storic

Not exploited.

• Configuration

Contains the data concerning the composition of the station.

• Measure_Storic

Not exploited.

• Personal_Window

Contains data concerning the personalization window . Therefore in the "Configuration" table of the database

\ST ATIONS\Radio1\TX500.mdb you will find information concerning the composition of the station.

Structure of the "Configuration" table.

The area "DBName" contains the name of the databases situated in the \MODULE\Radio1\ folder which contain the information concerning the modules.

1.7 Structure of the database

The TLC300 has one (or two) telemetry cards (8 balanced analogical inputs, 16 analogical/digital inputs and 8 relay outputs) and one I2C.

When seen through the T elecon, each telemetry card present and each unit connected through I2C appear as Modules

There are some acknowledgements to respect:

1) The first Module (number 0) AL W AYS contains the unit which is equipped with telemetry .

2) Then the units connected through I2C Bus are shown.

3) Then the telemetry cards

Let's analyze an example of typical station: TX500 equipped with telemetry (TLC300/ T1).

The TX500 is composed of: one PTX30LCD, one PJ500MC and obviously the TLC300.

The station, for the Telecon, will be composed of: 0 - TLC300 1 - PTX30LCD 2 - Telemetry card for PJ500MC

1.7.1 The modules

Each Module has a corresponding database which contains the data concerning the available measurements.

The database, contains seven tables:

• Alarm Name

contains the information concerning the alarms

• Analog Input

SCM-TLC

17 / 50User Manual Rev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

contains the data concerning the analogical inputs

• Analog Output contains the data concerning the analogical outputs

• Digital Input contains the data concerning the digital inputs

• Digital Output contains the data concerning the digital outputs

• General contains the data concerning the general measurements

• Info contains the information concerning module

N.B. In function of the type of unit that they represent, the tables can also contain data. Let's Analyze the module related to the standard telemetry card: it contains: 24

analogical inputs (8+16) and 8 relay outputs; therefore data will be found only in the Analog Input and Digital Output tables.

Similarly , for the PTXLCD (which has 39 analogical inputs, 2 analogical outputs, 8 digital inputs, 29 digital outputs, 8 general measurements), data will be found in all the tables.

All the tables (except Info and Alarm Name) have the same structure:

Name of area Type of data Description

Key Numerical Univoca l ident if ic at ion key ID Measure Numerical Identification of the measurement Display Order Numerical Ordering displayed data Enable Input Yes/No Enable input Enable Display Yes/No Enable display Name Text Measuremen t Name Measure Unit Text Measurement Unit Conversion T ype Text Type of conversion End Scale Numerical End scale Start Scale Numerical Start scale Max Numerical Maximum value Nominal Nume r ic a l Nominal value Min Numerical Minimum value (offset) Format Text Displaying Format Input Mask Text Input Mask Resolution AD C Numerical Resolution ADC converter Type Nume r ical Type of measur e me nt Text for Max Text Te xt to be displayed when maxi mu m va lue is reached Text for Min Text Text to be displayed when minimum value is reached

1.7.2 How to modify the database

If the user needs to modify the measurements on already existing databases, the parameters to modify are the following:

• Conversion Type

• End Scale

• Max

• Enable Input

• Enable Display Conversion T ype: determins the calculations to make with the received datum. The different algorythms were created in function of the requirements of the equipment

manufactured by R.V .R. and include power measurements, voltage and current, logical status, etc.

End Scale: indicates the maximum value displayed corresponding to the maximum voltage applied at the input.

SCM-TLC

19 / 50User Manual Rev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

Max: value indicating the threshold for the generation of a visible alarm on the T elecon grids.

Enable Input: value Y es/No which indicates whether it is possible to set a measurement value.

Ex. When an input is selected it is on "No" because it is not possible to set an input value, while for measurements like i.e. the output power of the PTXLCD, it is on "Y es" because the user can choose the value he wants to enter .

Enable Display: value Y es/No which indicates whether the measurement appears in the T elecon grids has also a consequence in the personalization.

2. Monitoring Telemetry Stations

2.1 Functioning

This is a telemetry software that gives the possibility to call automatically and cyclically every station from a list of stations, having their status displayed in a very simple and clear way and indicating which station is in alarm and the type of alarm.

Morevover, it is possible to have the software calling a station after having been informed by an SMS, and have its status displayed immediately .

2.2 Installation

• Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM player.

• From the desktop, open "Program Manager ".

• Double click on the CD-ROM player to visualize its content.

• Double click on the program Tlc32bit.exe in order to set up the installation.

It may be required to install the drivers which are necessary for the access to data, before installing the software.

• When the installation is completed, the "Tlc32bit" group which contains the programs: "T elecon 32bit" and "GSM Init" will be created, after which the connection icons will appear on the Desktop.

Required systems:

• Operational system: Windows 95 ®, Windows 98 ® either first or second edition, Windows ME ®. The software does not work under Windows NT ® and Windows 2000 ®.

• Processor: Intel Pentium ® 75 MHz or better.

• Minimum Memory required: 32MB Ram.

• Minimum capacity on Hard Disk required: Minimo 50Mb.

2.3 Telemetry software

As you can see on the image, the telemetry software is composed of three main windows:

SCM-TLC

34 / 50 User ManualRev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

List of Stations (A) Map of the Stazioni (B)

Brief Map (C)

2.3.1 List of Stations (A).

In this list all the stations that concern a customer are displayed. They are sorted in the following way: presence on the map, priority , frequency of

calls and station number in the database. When positioning your mouse on a station, it is automatically centered in the map

(B), and the station will start flashing.

2.3.2 Map of the stations (B).

The position of the stations and their status are displayed. Such map must be built by the user simply by dragging the required stations (taken from the list of stations (A)) to their locations on the map. Once the station is positioned, the schedule monitoring window is displayed. The station will have a different icon in function of the alarms status.

When positioning the cursor on one of these icons a window displays the last parameters and alarms registered, if received.

SCM-TLC

35 / 50User Manual Rev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

When clicking with the right button of your mouse on the icon indicated above, a cascade menu will display the following functions:

When selecting " Call Station " the immediate call will be made and the consequent data will be updated.

When selecting "Reset Station" you can make an attempt to reset the functioning conditions in case of alarm.

When choosing "T elecon" you can call the station with the normal telemetry sof tware in order to get more detailed information (for expert users).

SCM-TLC

36 / 50 User ManualRev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

When choosing " Properties" a sub-menu with 2 possible choices is displayed: " Scheduling Manager" which displays a window for the setting of scheduling

parameters and priority calls. Such priority will also be used put the stations in order in the list (A);

"Move S tation" is used to re-position the station on the map.

"Cancel Station" is used to cancel the station from the map (but not from the datadbase).

When moving the mouse having the left button pressed, you can scroll the geographic map.

2.3.3 Brief Map (C).

Such map is a reference for the Stations location (B). Basically , it is the same map, but reduced and divided into 16 quadrants. Such quadrants enable a selection of only the required part of the country , since it is impossible to show the whole map in a defined way . Apart from that, in case of alarm the quadrant where the station is situated will be coloured in red to indicate an anomalous situation. In this way it is possible to keep under control the status of all the stations without needing to move the mouse.

37 / 50User Manual Rev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

2.4 Scheduling functions

The Scheduling is structured in the following way:

1) The parameters that can be modified in the station are:

• Frequency of the calls, being possible to choose among the following values: 1 - 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) 2 - once a day , morning 3 - once a day, af ternoon 4 - once a day , evening 5 - 3 times a week 6 - once a week 6 - once a month 8 - Never

SCM-TLC

38 / 50 User ManualRev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

• Priority. The priority will be selected through a slider having three positions (high, medium, low) that the customer may use to set the order in which calls should be made. Basically, if some stations are more important than others, it will be necessary to assign to this station a priority higher than the priority of other stations. When the system starts making the calls, it will first call the higher priority stations, then medium and so on... This choice in priorities also influences the order in which the stations are displayed in the List (A).

• umber of attempts. It is possible to set a number of atempts "retry" fro 1 to 99 + ¥ which represent the number of attempts that the program must make before the station is considered as disconnected, therefore before comunication alarms are released. If you choose ¥ the software will try to make the connection until he succeeds to.

All the other call parameters, telephone number etc., are copied from the T elecon database.

The stations are put in order in the list (A) for:

• Presence on the map,

• priority

• frequency of calls,

• identification number in the T elecon database

2) The two buttons: "S tart Scheduling" and "Stop Scheduling" are used to st art or to interrupt the automatic procedure of calls. In this way if the user wants to call a station manually (while the cycle is started), he will have to set the software on "Stop Scheduling", then wait that the actual call is completed (if there is a call being made) and therefore he will be able to make the call by selecting the proper icon with the mouse on the cascade menu. It would be appropriate to insert a password for the selection from automatic to manual mode so that only the specialized technician has access to such operation. Anyway the software should always start in Automatic mode.

3) In automatic mode the software starts from the first station of the List (A), and so on until the last one (N.B. ONLY the stations that are present on the map are called). Once the list is finished, and in function of the number of retries setted, the system calls the stations that did not respond the first time. The software will go on until a response from all the stations is obtained and until there are no retries available.

In case the call cycle is completed before the change of call cycle, the program remains in stand-by; the "S tart Scheduling" button changes to "Call S tations".

In this way it is possible to have the program making an additional cycle of calls to all the stations without taking into account the last call and without exiting the scheduling cycle.

4) The following 4 symbols indicate the status of the stations:

SCM-TLC

39 / 50User Manual Rev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

Where these icons appear:

•

indicates that the station is working correctly .

• indicates that the station is in alarm.

•

indicates that the maximum number of retries was reached.

•

indicates that the program is making a retry .

There are also three other symbols used in the list (A):

• indicates that the station is being called (used only in scheduling).

• indicates that the station has not already been called (used only in scheduling)

• indicates that the station is not present in the map.

Apart from the normal parameters displayed (Power , frequency etc. ) there will also be the time and date of the last connection.

5) 5. When the scheduling cycle is operational, the following functions are not available:

• dragging of stations to the map

• positioning of the stations from the list (A) to the map

• - the menu selected with the right button of the mouse is not available, except the

scheduling configuration window that can be seen but not modified.

2.5 Technical information concerning the realization

For the realization of this software we have used the telemetry software (TELECON) with an additional new window..

The basic comunication structure of the software remains the same and all the functions of T elecon remain unchanged. Except this new window and the database of the customer filled with the data present in the Telecon PHBOOK directory .

In such database the user may add new areas and tables in function of the following criteria:

A. Five new areas were added to the Phone_Book table of the database:

1) Presence of the station on the map and therefore also the presence of the scheduling automatic procedure.

2) Name of the table where the registered data and scheduling parameters are entered.

3) Priority number of such station.

SCM-TLC

40 / 50 User ManualRev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

The area 3 will be used in order to define the position of a given station in the list (A) and therefore the order for the automatic calls.

4) Frequency of station calls according to the scheme: 0 - 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) 1 - once a day , morning 2 - once a day , afternoon. 3 - once a day , evening. 4 - 3 times a week 5 - once a week. 6 - once a month. 7 - Never.

5) Date of the beginning of the scheduling

B. Configuration tables of the stations. Basically for each station present in the Table Phone_Book, there will be 2 corresponding tables having a name with progressive intitials that will refer to the station situated in the area formerly described. The name of the two stations will start with a different suffix in order to identify them:

"_sto" for the table where the data data received by the remote station are stored, "_cfg" for the table where the scheduling configuration data are registered. The following areas are present in these tables: T able "_cfg"

1) Position X on the map. (Single)

2) Position Y on the map. (Single)

3) Data S tart Scheduling

4) S tart Time of Scheduling

5) Number of Retry from 1 to 99, with 0 indicating "unlimited"

6) Date of the last connection

7) T ime of the last connection

8) S tatus of the station during the last connection: 0 - OK - S tation funcioning correctly. 1 - COM - Comunication problem (when maximum number of retry is reached) 2 - RETRY - Station making a Retry . 3 - FAUL T - Station in Alarm.

T able "_sto"

1) S tring received with data.

SCM-TLC

41 / 50User Manual Rev . 1.0 - 17/01/03

2) S tring received with alarms.

3) Byte indicating the number of alarms present.

4) Date of the last connection.

5) Time of the last connection.

6) S tatus of the station at the last connection (see point 8) Each station present in the Phone_Book table will have a corresponding configuration

table as shown in point B. Each time the software will restart these data will be loaded and displayed.

3. Interconnection example (TLC)

3. 1 In Digital with RVR’s LCD Equipment

In the case of connection between the TLC system and digital equipment exclusively using the digital input on bus IIc must respect some sagacities:

• PTX-LCD exciters serie must have always the lower addresses.

• The coupler HC-LCD serie, in order of addresses after the exciters, must have

Type = 133.

• The amplifiers will follow all then.

The Type that identified the digit al cards are described in the following table:

3. 2 In Analogic with RVR’s LCD Equipment

To connect different RVR’ base equipment between they, that aren’t digital, is necessarily use an IB (see accessories), that allows the redistribution of the signals them coming from the equipment in order to make them to reach in right way on the inputs of the TLC.

All the connections between the devices come made through standard parallels cables, connecting between the IB and the equipment the outputs that have the same label:

• Service -> Service

• Telemetry -> Telemetry

3.3 In Analogic with Generic Equipment

In this case it must resort to the connection tables, remembering that the balanced inputs are operative with not greater tensions of 12V while those digitals arrive to the maximum to 5V .

The tensions must be in continuum current.
