INFORMATION

To perform the operations described in this chapter, the user must be familiar with the Easergy

ITB configuration

Builder tool. Otherwise, please refer to the tool's manual.

In the Workspace of Easergy Builder, create a new RTU using button or pressing right button
of the mouse in an empty area of the rtus tree:

Figure 18 – Adding a new RTU.

Pressing button next to the graphical ITB, you can add, remove or change the I/O modules
included on the default configuration.

The user needs understand some basic concepts about Saitel DR before configuring the
acquisition:

• An ITB is a set of acquisition blocks connected to a CPU (HU).

• An Acquisition Block or AB is a Saitel DR input/output module.

• Each acquisition block is allocated to a unique address in the ITB, the Node Number; this

number identifies both the module and its type.

• The procedure AAP (Automatic Addressing Procedure) is performed by the operator
every time an AB module is added, deleted, replaced or moved inside the ITB. It can be
launched manually or automatically depending on the configuration switches of the HU
(consult user manual of the HU).

Figure 19 – ITB.

Pag 28

User Manual – AB_AI

R&D Digital Seville

The number between parentheses next to each module's name is the node number. You can
select an AB and use buttons to change its physical position.

When “Auto Address” box is checked (by default), if you reorder, add or delete an AB, all
addresses are automatically recalculated matching their physical position in the rail. Address
number 1 is assigned to the AB closest to the HU module (for HU_AF or HU_BI, address number 1
will be attached to the HU itself).

If “Auto Address” box is unchecked, modules will retain the allocated address, ignoring any
changes made. If rechecked, the following message will appear:

Figure 20 – Auto Address.

Select an AB (click on the AB image) and use button to remove it. Use button to add a new
AB. Select the type of AB in the following window:

Figure 21 – Adding an AB module.

If “Auto Address” is checked, you can add several AB at one time. This window allows selecting
the quantity of modules to be added. If “Auto Address” in unchecked, you only can add one AB
each time and you have to select the address to be assigned.

To create a new configuration, select RTU in the tree and pulse right button of the mouse or use

button.

AB_AI Configuration

The local acquisition Device for Saitel DR is named “claq”. The main functionality of the Local
Acquisition Device Controller is supporting the communication between the inputs and the outputs
managed by the acquisition blocks and coreDb points.

The first step to configure the acquisition settings is to assure that the ITB in the graphical interface
is according to the system. Each module must be addressed according its position in the ITB.

The graphical interface does not take into account if the ITB is assembled in one or multiple

rows. The modules should always be added in the adequate order, regardless the number of
TU-XU modules that we have installed.

AB_AI signals

The following figure shows the configuration panel when the ITB is composed by an HUe and one
AB_AI module with address 1:

Figure 27 – AB_AI field signals.

Select the module in the ITB and all its field signals are shown (marked in red).

The first position of each row corresponds with the signal’s description (AI_PNT_1 ... AI_PNT_8).
In coreDb, each signal will be identified using its coordinate. (see paragraph 3.2.2).

Each signal has the following associated information:

• EMin: Minimum value expressed in field units (from -32768 to 32767).

• EMax: Maximum value expressed in field units (from -32768 to 32767).

• Rng: Voltage range expressed in engineering units (0/5 V, -5/5 V, 0/20 mA, -20/20 mA, and

4/20 mA).

• Filt: Mobile measuring filter (expressed as a percentage value, 0 - total filtering and 100 - no
filtering).

• Zero: Zero cancellation (expressed in scaled values)

Local Acquisition Coordinates

Each digital input is identified in coreDb by a name (it is stored in the field Description), but this
name is only used for information purpose. coreDb uses the signal’s coordinate in order to identify
a field signal.

A claq coordinate is a numerical identifier of 10 digits with the following structure:

Where:

• 1: First digit of the coordinate. In local acquisition signals, it must always be 1.

• XXX: Number that identifies the acquisition block. For the HUe signals, it will always be 000.

For the rest of the ABs, this number will correspond with the address of the module.

1XXXYYZZZZ

• YY: Type of signal. For digital input could be:

o 02: Simple digital input.

o 03: Count.

o 07: Double digital input.

• ZZZZ: Position of the signal in the module.

Information in the Table Analog

Each AB_AI signal is associated to a coreDb register in the analog table using its claq coordinate
as source:

The following point can be added for a AB_AI module:

• Status, Source Coordinates:

o Diagnostics point:

• Analog, Source Coordinates:

o Analog Inputs: Analog inputs, depend on the configuration performed.

Signal Calibration

The AB_AI analog inputs are calibrated in factory. Nevertheless, the user may calibrate each signal
to meet the environment requirements.

 COMM_DIAG: Status of the communication with the HU. 0  “Communication

FAIL”, 1  “Communication OK”.

 HW_DIAG: Hardware diagnostic. 0  No problem detected, 1 Problem

detected in the hardware.

• The user must assure that the calibration device is similar to the device recommended by
Schneider Electric, in particular the calibrator Fluke 725. The device should be able to generate
voltages ranging from 0V to 10V with a precision lower than 0.1%.

• Signal calibration can be performed in the field, while the ITB is under a normal data acquisition
state. During calibration, all modules will operate normally, except for the module under calibration.

The calibration method depends on the HU type which controls the ITB. If the CPU is an advanced
HU (HU_A, HU_AF), Saitel Webtool is used to calibrate. If the CPU is a Hue, Saitel WebApp is
used. When the CPU module is a basic HU (HU_B), the calibration process is performed using the
console.

The calibration is done separately for each channel.

Signal Calibration Using a Basic HU

1. The user needs to connect the PC to the HU module through the CON port (console channel).
For further details about the connection, please refer to the CPU manual.

2. For each analog input, the user must execute the “claqCalAi N C” command, where N refers
tclao the AB_AI module's number within the ITB (can be obtained by entering the “claqShow”
command in the console) and C refers to the signal number within the module, where
1<=C<=8.

3. After executing the calibration command, for example on the 2
(signal 2) of the module number 1, the following message will appear:

nd

signal of the B1 terminal block

4. When the calibrator is connected to terminals AI2+ (red cable) and AI2- (black cable), the
system will wait for it to supply 0V. Then, the user needs to press any key. Subsequently, the
system asks the user to wait while specific calculations are made.

5. Once a 0V level is registered, the system requests a 5V level voltage to be injected and to
press any key:

Pag 34

User Manual – AB_AI

R&D Digital Seville

NOTICE

6. The system will repeat the operations and calculations for this voltage level. Once finished, it
will display a message to inform that the analog input has been calibrated:

The calibration values depend on the signal range assigned in the configuration tool (see section

3.2).

For example, if the input 1 of the AB_AI module, which is in the position 1, is configured in the
range 0/20 mA, the messages exchanged with the user during the calibration process are:

In the case of calibrating current inputs, it will be necessary to place a 250Ω resistor between the

positive and the negative pin, so that by injecting current with the calibrator, the voltage between
the two input terminals is lower than 5V.

Factory calibration values can be restored individually for each signal at any time. To do so,
execute the “claqRestCalAi N C” command, where N refers to the module number and C refers to
the signal number in the module. For example, to restore the factory values for the previous signal
(input 1), follow the procedure below:

• It should be noted that even if the signal is configured for current (0/20 mA), the factory
calibration is done for voltage values, and these are the retrieved values. Therefore, the resistor
tolerances, which convert current to voltage, are not calibrated.

• Schneider Electric recommends a 250Ω resistor with 0.1% tolerance in order to maximize the
resolution of the analog to digital converter

When calibration starts, the following message is shown:

When the calibrator is connected to terminals AI1+ (red cable) and AI1- (black cable), the system
will wait for the calibrator to supply 0 V. Then, press “Ok”. Subsequently, the system asks the user
to wait while the input is calibrated for 0 V.

Then, the following message is shown:

As described for the previous step, supply 5 V through the calibrator and then press “Ok”. The
system will start the calibration for this voltage level.

When the operation finishes, the following message will appear:

The calibration values depend on the signal range assigned in Easergy Builder.

Factory calibration values can be restored at any time for individual signals. To do so, press the
“Restore” button associated to the channel in the table. You will be prompted to confirm or cancel
the operation.

Signal Calibration Using a HUe

If the CPU is a HUe, to calibrate AB_AI, Saitel WebApp must be used. The recommended web
browser is Google Chrome (version 67.0.3396.99).

In WebApp, go to Maintenance section and click in “Acquisition”. You will see a table with the
correspondent signals. If the permissions set for the user allows it, these points van be calibrated.
