user with sufficient privileges through SFTP or webApp.

• Interface with the operator through the console, webApp (for supervision and maintenance)

• Firmware upgrade by SFTP or webApp (using MNT port) or USB 2.0 port.

ITB Configuration

HUe maintains and manages the information that supports the real-time database, coreDb. In this
database, the I/O signals are related to the communication protocols signals. The configuration is
based on XML files that are generated with the Easergy Builder tool. These files are generated on
a PC and sent to the CPU via an SFTP connection through the MNT port.

ITB Synchronization

Up to two different synchronization sources can be configured. In this configuration is included the
priority level for each source, so there will be a primary and a secondary source. If both sources
are active, only the primary source will synchronize the system.

WARNING

Electrostatic discharges may damage semi-conducive devices within the module.

NOTICE

In order to minimize the adverse effects of noise and heat, it is recommended to install the ITB’s

WARNING

It is important to assure that handling is always done while the ITB elements are unpowered.

3.1 ITB Installation

3.1.1 Handling Modules

Please note the following precautions to avoid electrostatic damages:

• You should never touch the pins of the bus connector.

• You should keep the module in its packaging box when unused.

3.1.2 HUe Location in the ITB

The HUe module must always be the first module in the ITB, that is, it must be mounted in the first
position of the first DIN rail, being the bus initiator in the ITB.

The HU can only be found in the second position of the DIN rail, if the ITB requires processing
redundancy. In this configuration, there is a main DIN rail in which two redundant HU modules are
installed and connected to the acquisition ITB by means of an Ethernet network; the system’s bus
is not used in this case.

head unit as far as possible from other modules handling alternating current and high voltages.

3.1.3 Power Supply Requirements

To calculate the ITB’s power supply requirements, you will need to consider the power
consumption of each module. The modules’ power consumptions must be added plus a safety
margin (min. 20%). Each row in the ITB is powered independently thought the HUe (first row) or XU
(second and following rows) module.

In order to avoid ITB overload, the power supply performance should also be considered (typically,
70-90%).

The power consumption data is detailed in the technical specifications table of each module’s user
manual and in the technical label on the equipment.

3.1.4 Mount and Dismount Procedures

Saitel DR modules have a DIN-rail bracket at the rear side that allows mounting on a DIN rail.

Figure 12 – Mount bracket on DIN rail.

The mounting procedure is described below:

• Switch off the power supply.

• Attach the module’s rear bracket on the upper DIN rail.

User Manual – HUe

Pag 27

• Press the lower front panel gently until a click confirms that the bracket is fit on the rail.

• Verify the module is anchored firmly to the rail, although lateral movement is possible.

Figure 13 – Saitel DR module on a DIN rail.

The module is dismounted from the DIN rail as follows:

• Switch off the power supply.

• If necessary, disconnect the bridge(s) connecting the module to the system bus.

• Holding the module by the front panel, push the upper metal tab downward. The user can also

pull the tab down using for example a screwdriver as shown:

• Pressing the tab, remove the module from the lower DIN rail.

• Once detached, the module can be removed easily.

3.2.3 Digital Inputs

Figure 15 – General-purpose digital inputs.

HUe has 4 digital inputs located in the lower left, only configurable as single inputs. These signals
are useful to inform the operator about some malfunction in the system.

The digital inpus 1 and 2 can be used for the following purposes:

• Digital input 1: This signal provides the HUe module with information about the digital inputs’
polarization status of the ABs installed in the ITB. When the signal is active, the polarization of
all digital signals is correct. If the signal is disabled, the HU will understand that there is a
polarization fault.

• Digital input 2: If this signal is enabled, the HUe module will interpret that the ITB is working in
LOCAL mode, whereas if it is disabled, the ITB is operating in REMOTE mode. When the ITB
is in LOCAL mode the commands are disabled.

To use these two signals with the purpose described above, they must be defined in the database
following the instructions included in paragraph 4.5.1 of this manual.

4.1.2 File System

You can access the file system in the HUe module by using a secure connection, such as SFTP
(SSH – File Transfer Protocol). In the following examples, Filezilla software was used.

You can also browse several directories using the Linux commands available in the console.

The files constituting the Baseline Software Platform are installed in a non-volatile memory which is
accessible by the user. The file system is structured as follows:

• /mnt/bf: Flash memory. This is a general-purpose memory. It stores ISaGRAF®, web server,
and other application's files.

• /mnt/flash: Main memory. It stores user applications of Baseline Platform, for example, the
software for the Device Drivers and their configuration files.

• /mnt/nflash: Auxiliary memory assembled on a NAND flash memory.

• /nvRam: Non-volatile SRAM memory. Memory used for data storage (i.e. Event log).This

memory has a power fail protection by means of a supercapacitor, which is capable of retaining
data for 8 hours.

• /mnt/sd1: Memory for mass data storage in a SD memory card. The board needs to be
inserted in the slot on the module’s side panel. The /mnt/sd1 folder is listed in the file system
when the card is inserted in this slot. If the card is not inserted, then the folder will not be
displayed in the file system.

• /mnt/usb1: Memory for mass data storage in a pen drive. When the device is connected to a
USB port, the /mnt/usb1 folder is listed in the file system, and we can access to its contents. If
there is no pen drive connected to this port, the folder is not displayed in the file system.

IMPORTANT: For the update to be successful, there should only be one file
Baseline_XX.XX.XX.tar.gz on the pendrive.

4.1.3 Network Configuration (IP / Router / Firewalls)

The configuration windows will depend on whether you are configuring a redundant RTU or not;
two or more tabs will be displayed in the network settings and environment variables screen.

If the RTU is not redundant, you can only see the following tabs: “Network” and “Environment
Variables A”. If the RTU is redundant, you will see the corresponding configuration tabs for each
CPU, that is “Network – CPU A”, “Network - CPU B”, “Environment Variables A”, and
“Environment Variables B”, where A is the main CPU and B is the secondary CPU.

Network Interfaces

Figure 28 – Network Interface Settings.

You can view the existing network settings in the CPU (by clicking ) or modify the interfaces

and, then, applying the changes (by clicking ) so that they are effective in the next initialization.

If you need to add new network interfaces, remove one of the existing interfaces or change their

respective parameters, use the , , and buttons respectively.

All the network interfaces integrated in the HUe can be set as DHCP client, so “IP Address” and
“Subnet Mask” fields are ignored. These data are automatically assigned by a DHCP server
through the network.

Nevertheless, it is possible to configure a Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) logical interface.
This interface allows two physical ports to be used as a single port, that is, both ports will have the
same MAC address and the same IP address.

User Manual – HUe

Pag 46

NOTICE

If configuring the PRP interface, you CANNOT define the LAN ports.

Routers

If you need to define interfaces in different networks, then you need to configure the device that
gives us access to different networks. Each device is configured in the “Routers” tab, in which we
specify their respective IP address. The figure below illustrates an example with two external
subnets.

Figure 29 – Using routers to configure subnets.

Define the following settings in Easergy Builder:

Figure 30 - Router Settings

The Destination IP and Destination Mask fields are related to the IP addresses to be reached from
the router. The Router IP is the device's IP address in the main network.

You can register the default IP address and mask once (i.e., 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0) in order to access
external networks. With these settings you can reach any device connected to the router from the
CPU.

Pag 47

Firewalls

As with network interfaces, you can use the buttons on the right to add, remove or edit a router.

The network ports (MNT, LAN1, and LAN2) have the Firewalls tab in which you can define the
following:

• Defining a white list: A pool of IP addresses which will access the CPU through this port.

• Defining a black list: A pool of IP addresses which CANNOT access the CPU through this

port.

• Blocking a TCP or UDP port in the interface. In this case, no device can connect to this
network interface using the specified port.

To manage the firewall rules for each port, you need to select it from the list and click .

Figure 31 - Edit Firewall Rules

The configuration of the Firewalls in the system is not required. If the network interface does not
have Firewall settings, then no restrictions or capabilities are associated to use this feature.

To define a “White list:” or “Black List”, you need to select the Type and indicate the pool of
addresses to be included (IP Address / Subnet Mask).

To block a port, you need to select “Blocked port” in Type field and then indicate the port number
and type (TCP or UDP).

The firewall rules are defined in the order below:

• Firstly, indicate the Forwarding state.

• Secondly, close the ports

• Thirdly, block the “Black list” addresses

• Fourthly, allow the “White list” addresses

With this configuration, make sure that the information received from one port or one address will
be accepted or rejected in accordance to this rule ordering. When a rule matches, the information
is accepted or rejected. If no rule matches, then communication is enabled

It is also possible to forward a packet received through an Ethernet port with the IP Address
belonging to another port's subnet. This is known as Packet Forwarding between Ethernet ports.
To use this feature, you need to check the “Forwarding” box.

This feature is disabled by default for all ports.

4.1.4 Environment Variables

There are multiple environment variables defined in Baseline Software Platform which should be
known in order to configure our system according to our requirements. These variables are defined
in the “main_cfg.xml” en /mnt/flash file, which is managed and edited by means of Easergy Builder
tool, as shown below.

The environment variables that must be defined with default values are:

• CONFIG_DIR:(Default value:/mnt/flash/cfgFiles/).This is the folder in which configuration files
are stored. The CPU may have several projects stored in different associated configuration
folders. The system will load the project whose configuration folder is associated with the value
of this variable. If necessary, you can use an external storage device for these configuration
folders (SD card o USB pen drive).

• BIN_DIR:(Default value:/mnt/bf/).Alternative path for application or binary files. The default
directory in which application files are stored is /mnt/flash.If these files are not in this folder, the
system will search in an alternative file path, as indicated in BIN_DIR.

• SLOT: In a redundant system, it is necessary to define the type of CPU you are configuring. It
will have the value A in the main CPU, the one that is initialized HOT by default, and B for the
secondary CPU.

• WEB_IS_REMOTE:(It doesn’t apply with HUe).

If a redundant HUe is configured, then you will have two tabs; the first is associated to the CPU A
and the second is associated to CPU B. The figure below illustrates the variable definition in a
redundant CPU:

Figure 32 - Variable definition in a redundant CPU

You can change the values in these tabs and send the changes to the CPU by clicking ; new

values will be applied in the next CPU initialization. If button is used, you can read the current
value for these variables.

4.2 Cybersecurity

The HUe module implements a standard security policy and a default RBAC model (Role-based
access control). This model is defined and managed by a special tool, i.e. CAE (EcoStruxure™
Cybersecurity Admin Expert). Based on this model, authorized users can create and manage other
system's users. Moreover, the CPU includes a firewall.

The RBAC model implemented in the HUe module complies with the IEC 62351-8 standard.

User Manual – HUe

24/09/2020

Pag 49

4.2.1 CAE and RBAC

CAE is the tool designed to administer the security policy and define access restrictions for the
system and/or communication interfaces.

A key aspect of this RBAC model is that every access is controlled by means of roles; each role is
defined as a set of permissions and privileges. Permissions are assigned to users by means of
roles; they can also inherit roles though a hierarchy.

The RBAC model provides the HUe module with:

• Secure connections for local and remote maintenance: HTTPS and SSH.

• Secure file transfer protocol: SFTP.

• Firewall capability.

Default RBAC model is detailed in further sections in this manual, including:

• List of objects.

• List of roles (users)

• Allocation of each role to each object's permission.

It is not necessary to modify the RBAC module supplied with the equipment, if it is fulfils the
system's requirements.

Otherwise, use the CAE tool for:

• Creating a user database

• Defining the roles

• Managing the RBAC model in each device centrally.

4.2.2 Users

During the engineering phase, CAE must be used to redefine or change the access restrictions for
the system, including the access rights and responsibilities.

In the basic model supplied with HUe, the SecurityAdmin user is the only user with sufficient
privileges to administer Saitel cybersecurity (please, see table below).It means that it is the only
user which is able to administer and/or modify the passwords and roles being assigned to the
users.

Viewer Viewer1! VIEWER

Operator Operator1! OPERATOR

Engineer Engineer1! ENGINEER

Installer Installer1! INSTALLER

SecurityAdmin Security1! SECADM

SecAud Secaud1! SECAUD

RbacMnt Rbacmnt1! RBACMNT

Once access levels are defined in the RBAC model, you can use HUe's web server (webApp) in
order to add or remove users, modify passwords and assign one or several predefined functions to
the users or modify them.

4.2.3 Roles

Role-based-access-control (RBAC) is a control mechanism that defines the roles and privileges
assigned to each role. These privileges are defined in accordance to some objects and actions that
the user can act upon:

For AAP execution, at least one configuration needs to be loaded in the RTU; it must match the

4.3 ITB Addressing (AAP)

Inside the ITB, each acquisition block or communication block must be identified with a number.
This number is assigned with Easergy Builder when configuring the local acquisition (please see
section 5.1 ).

Once the local acquisition is defined with the configuration tool and it is transferred to the RTU, it is
necessary to define these modules’ runtime addressing. To do so, execute a so-called Automatic
Addressing Procedure (AAP) that creates a table in the memory in which the acquisition blocks
assembled physically on the ITB are associated to an address and a type. The physical
components on the system must match the configuration in Easergy Builder.

configuration loaded in the modules that are physically installed on the ITB. For further
information about how to define and load a configuration to the RTU by using Easergy Builder,
please refer to section

The Automatic Addressing Procedure (AAP) must be performed every time the ITB morphology
changes, that is, every time a module is added, deleted or replaced.

The AAP procedure can be executed both automatically and manually.

5.1 .

Automatic Execution

For a forced execution of the AAP when the ITB is reset, switches 2 and 3 in the HUe must be set
to ON (please, see section 0).After resetting the HUe module, an AAP procedure is executed,
displaying the information about the modules that are installed and configured.

The figure shown below illustrates an example of the messages generated by the console when
AAP procedure is completed:

Figure 35 - Welcome view

In this case, there is an AB_AI module with the address 1 and an AB_DI module with the address

2.

If any of these acquisition blocks which was configured previously with Easergy Builder is not
properly addressed (the “SUCCESSFUL!” message is not shown in the console), the module's
RUN led DOES NOT flash and the DIO led on HUe module remains lit.

Manual Execution

The user can force the module addressing at any time.

Log into the console with the Installer user and in BLMon prompt, execute the “claqStartAAP”
command to route the acquisition AB and the “MUX_startAAP” command for the communication
AB.

24/09/2020

User Manual – HUe

Pag 54

NOTICE

To execute the AAP procedure, the switch 2 must be set to ON.

NOTICE

Only after executing the claqTableAck command, the information will be recorded permanently.

If switch 3 is also set to ON, the entire procedure is performed automatically. Otherwise, follow
these steps:

• When executing the claqStartAAP or MUX_startAAP command, the following message
appears. Upon the execution, the screen will display each module's information (type, assigned
address, and serial number).

• The user will need to verify that all necessary modules are displayed with the text
“SUCCESSFUL!” next to them.

• To complete the procedure, the user will need to execute the claqTableAck command to
confirm that the information is correct. In this case, the addressing information is stored
permanently. If the information is not correct, then you need to execute the claqTableNack
command in order to indicate that there was an addressing problem and that the information
being displayed must be ignored

4.4 Local Acquisition

We consider local acquisition as how the system treats the HUe information received from field
devices through acquisition blocks (AB).

This manual describes the configuration of the local acquisition signals in general terms, with no
comprehensive information about the configuration of each AB. This chapter explains how
information is processed by the CPU once it is received from each module.

For more detailed information about each AB, please refer to the corresponding user manual.

With respect to the ITB architecture, there are two types:

• Centralized Local Acquisition: All modules are installed in the same ITB, in which you only
have a HUe module (or two if the configuration is redundant).The ITB may have more than one
row of modules, but only the first row may have a CPU.

• Distributed Local Acquisition: There are several acquisition ITB's reporting information to a
single ITB. In this case, the system is configured as if all AB modules are installed in the same
physical ITB.

More information in the Saitel DR Platform user manual.

4.5 Treatment of Local Acquisition Signals

The claq Device is responsible for the treatment and configuration of the local acquisition signals in
Easergy Builder. This Device is created by default in any configuration of Saitel DR.

For further information about how configuring ITB and how signals are added automatically in
coreDb, please refer to Easergy Builder User Manual.

Moreover, you will see how the HUe module processes the information based on the particular
signal type.

User Manual – HUe

24/09/2020

Pag 55

4.5.1 General-Purpose Digital Inputs

The HUe module integrates 4 digital inputs in the lower part, which are configurable only as simple
signals. These signals are useful to inform the operator about the general faults occurred.

The digital inputs 1 and 2 can be used for the following purpose:

• Digital 1: It informs the HUe module about the polarization of the digital signals of the AB's
installed in the ITB. When the signal is active, the polarization of all digital input is correct. If
there are inactive, the HUe module will understand that a problem with the polarization has
occurred. To use this signal for this purpose, in coreDb you must configure the Supervision
Device's POL_OK_ABDI signal.

• Digital 2:Depending on its on/off state, the HUe module will understand that the ITB is
operating in LOCAL or REMOTE respectively. In LOCAL mode, the command execution will be
disabled. To use this signal, in coreDb you must configure the Supervision Device's
LOCALREMOTE signal.

If you click the graph on the HUe figure, you see that it lights up in green and the 4 general­purpose digital Inputs available in the module are displayed.

For each signal you need to define:

• Type: Type of digital input. You can only select DI_ISIM (simple digital input) for these digital
signals in the HUe module.

• Inverse: It indicates if the signal is inverted (Y) or not (N).

• TF (ms):Filtering time to be used for the digital filtering. Expressed in milliseconds, it can range

between 0 and 255.

• TM (ms*10):Memory time to be considered for change memory. The indicated value is
expressed with 10-ms intervals, and it can range between 0 and 255.

• NChat and TChat: They have no effect on these signals and cannot be configured.

For this type of signals, you need to configure “Digital Filtering” and “Change Memory”. Both
concepts are explained in Saitel DR Platform user manual.

4.5.2 Field Signals

HUe doesn’t have field signals but it is in charge of to do the treatment of the information received
from AB modules.

HUe execute the following function depending on the type of signal:

• Digital inputs

o Digital filtering

o Change memory

o Settling Time

o Anti-Chattering

o Inversion

o Edge Configuration for Counters

• Digital outputs

o Pulse time

• Redundancy: This field must be checked when the RTU is controlled by two redundant CPU’s.

• Define default acquisition: If this box is checked, every time a configuration is created for this

RTU, you will add a series of default acquisition modules. These selectable modules are
specified below.

The previous parameters are assigned as default values in each Configuration created for this
RTU.

For example, if you check the “Define default acquisition” box, all the acquisition modules included
in this RTU will also be included in its corresponding Configurations. Moreover, the ITB
configuration window is displayed where you include the RTU's acquisition block:

Figure 37 – Configuring the ITB

You can also access and change this default configuration by clicking the button next to the
ITB figure.

Build the ITB using the buttons on the upper part of the screen.

You must take the following factors into account:

• The Addr field is the number associated to an acquisition block inside the ITB. This number
must be unique for each AB and will be used to identify both the AB and its points. The user

can change the associated address by selecting the module and using the buttons. If you
select the “Auto Address” box, when reordering the modules physically or when modifying the
ITB, all addresses are reassigned automatically. The address 1 is assigned to the closest AB to
the HUe module. If the “Automatic Address” is unchecked, the modules retain the assigned
address ignoring the changes made to the ITB.

• The Automatic Addressing Procedure (AAP) must be performed every time the ITB structure
changes, that is, every time a module is added, deleted or replaced from the ITB. These
procedure can be launched both manually, using the Console or Easergy Builder, or
automatically by using the switch 3 in the HUe module (more information in section 0in this
manual).

The RTU is ready for creating the different configurations with which you will work later on.

For more information about SOE, please, consult the SOE user manual.

4.6.2 Configuring a Redundant RTU

For a redundant ITB, the following consideration must be considered:

• Field Redundancy must be marked.

• IP CPU A and IP CPU B must be indicated. These IP addresses are used for communications

with Easergy Builder.

• In tab Network – CPU A and Network – CPU B, IP addresses for ETH1 and ETH2 for CPU A
and CPU B should be indicated.

• In tab Environment Variables A and Environment Variables B, the environment variables to be
created in each CPU should be indicated. The environment variable SLOT is mandatory and
must be different for each CPU. In CPU A, SLOT must be A and in CPU B, SLOT must be B.

RTU. If you only want to save a copy of the configuration, select the specific configuration from
the tree and click the same button. In this case, an EBC file is generated, which only includes the
selected configuration.

To load the existing configuration in the HU, it’s necessary to follow next steps from the Easergy
Builder Workspace.

• In the RTU tree, the RTU to which the new configuration will be associated has to be selected.
If there is no configuration, a new one has to be loaded. The HU needs to have configured an
IP address so it’s possible to communicate with it.

• Once the “Read Configuration” button ( ) is pressed, the user would need to introduce a user
and password.

• It’s necessary to choose the information to be loaded: “Network”, “Environment Variables”
and/or “Configuration”.

In case that “Configuration” has been chosen, it will be necessary to choose a name for it. After
that, the configuration would appear available in the RTU tree. If “Environment Variables” and
“Network” were selected, the RTU will take the values defined in the HU that is being read.

4.6.4 Create a New Configuration

To create a new configuration for the HUe, select the RTU from the tree and right-click it, or click

the button.

Figure 38 – New configuration.

Type the new configuration's name.

If “Create defined RTU acquisition points” box is checked, all local acquisition points will be
included in coreDb for each acquisition blocks included in the default configuration associated to
the RTU.

For example, if a HUe has an associated ITB that includes an AB_DI module, an AB_AI module,
and another AB_DO module, after selecting the “Create acquisition points defined in the RTU” field
when creating a new configuration, the following points will be created in coreDb:

• 16 digital inputs in Status table.

• 8 analog inputs in Analog table.

• 8 digital outputs in Command table.

• The supervision points of each acquisition block.

• In COM1 and COM2, the hardware will control RTS and CTS signals. CAUTION! If the CTS
signal is not received, then there is no transmission.

• For RS-485, the control for the RTS signal and the changes between the transmission and
reception modes would be controlled by the hardware IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

4.6.8 Configuring HUe Link Configuration

Some Devices support double channel management. This functionality can be different depending
on the protocol in use. A link is the association of two channels; you can also understand it as a
double channel.

To configure a channel, in the window displayed above, select “Link” and indicate the two channels
that will be associated to create the link; you will also define the operation mode and the link test
time:

4.6.9 Synchronization

The factory configuration does not include a defined Synchronization Device. The configuration
source is defined in Easergy Builder. webApp only allows changing the configuration once it has
been previously defined with Easergy Builder.

For HUe, you can define two synchronization channels: a primary channel and a secondary
channel, which will be used when the primary channel is not available.

Figure 45 - Synchronization configuration.

The synchronization sources to be used with HUe are:

• PROTOCOL: Time is received through a user-specific protocol. Most telecontrol protocols
enable slave devices to be synchronized.

• SNTP: The remote unit will operate as a SNTP client; therefore, you will need to indicate the
SNTP server's IP address and the synchronization period through that server.

• IRIG: The time received from the IRIG device is used to set the system’s clock and RTC. The
configurable formats are: IRIG-B002, IRIG-B003, IRIG-B006, and IRIG-B007.

(M56720000yZZ) must be included in the firt row of the ITB. The IRIG-B signal is sent to the
client devices through COM ports of this AB_SER.

• GPS: GPS35 and GPS16 of Garmin have been validated.

• PTP: As indicated in the IEEE-1588 standard, a PTP master will synchronize the accessible

slave PTP devices through one or multiple Ethernet interfaces. This functionality for Hue is
available in version 11.06.08 and later.

• Console, using the commands:

o thmShow: It displays the states of the synchronization devices and the information

about current time and date.

o thmConsoleSetTime “YY:MM:DD:HH:NN:SS”:It configures the date and time

manually.

Moreover, the HUe module can be configured as a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server,
as a master PTP or as an IRIG-B server.

The synchronization module allows the time zone and summer/winter (day light saving) calendars
to be configured.

4.6.9.1 Configuring PTP in HUe

PTP is only available with BOND interfaces.

To configure PTP the RTU must be a Saitel DR-HUe V1.

If PTP is configured then, UDP port type can not be selected.

PTP Client (Precise Time Protocol)

According to IEEE-1588 terminology, when the RTU is synchronized by an external PTP device,
the RTU works in “Ordinary Clock" mode (OC). If the RTU is a PTP server, then it works in
“Boundary clock” mode (BC).

The RTU can be configured a PTP client or a PTP server, but not both at the same time.

The following information is required:

Figure 47 – Configuring synchronization with a PTP device.

• Port: Select the physical port for synchronization with the PTP device.

• domainNumber: Value of the "domain" attribute of the local clock. The default value is 0.

• Announce messages period: Average time interval between "Announce messages". Value in

seconds, as a base two logarithm. The default value is 1, that is, 2 seconds.

• Max. Announce messages lost: Maximum number of lost messages before considering a
time-out in the reception. The default value is 3.

4.6.11 PLC Configuration

The HUe module integrates the use of ISaGRAF®, that is, a logic programming tool working under
the IEC 61131-3 environment to develop PLC programs.

ISaGRAF® is a third party tool consisting of two parts:

• Runtime: Control and execution environment for logic programs. The licence is included as part
of the Baseline Software Platform installed in the HUe module.

• Workbench: Development environment. It is installed in a PC, and needs to be purchased for
the project, since it requires an additional license that is not included as part of our software
platform.

The logic programming languages include:

• SFC: Sequential Function Chart

• FBD: Function Block Diagram

• LD: Ladder Diagram

• ST: Structured Text

• IL: Instruction List

To let ISaGRAF® interact with coreDb, you need to define a Device of this type in Easergy Builder.

For detailed information about the use of ISaGRAF® inside Saitel, please refer to the Device user
manual.

4.6.12 Supervision

The Supervision Device is a default Device in Easergy Builder. The Device is used to monitor the

configurations. The CPU itself cannot be arbitrated autonomously with the other CPU in
redundant systems, so there must be some supervision in charge of this Device.

For redundant configurations, most of the supervision points are also available with “_A” and “_B”
suffixes in order to provide CPU-related information. For example, the points PS1_V, PS1_V_A,
and PS1_V_B are available for power supply voltage. Regardless which CPU is in online mode,
you can know the information about both CPU’s.

If points are not available with _A and _B suffixes in a redundant configuration, it means that you
only have information about the its value in the online CPU, for example, DOING_WELL.

4.6.13 Redundancy

You have seen that when you have two redundant CPU’s, there are certain differences in the
configuration of, for example, environment variables and supervision points. Moreover, you have to
define how redundancy will be implemented both in physical terms (control mechanism) and
functional terms (data redundancy mode).

The environment variables A and environment variables B table must be correctly configured to
indicate which CPU will act as primary and which as redundancy

To do so, you need access the dbRED tab in CoreDb.

redundant.

Control Mechanism

For HUe there is redundancy only through the RCAP protocol (Redundancy Control Asynchronous
Protocol). It consists of a redundant channel between the two HUe modules that is switched when
required by means of a Schneider Electric proprietary protocol.

Mode

To implement this control mechanism, you can configure up to two different channels which are
used redundantly to obtain a fault-tolerant redundancy control:

• Through network ports. You need to define the IP addresses for CPU A and CPU B.

• Through a serial channel. You need to indicate the serial port you will use in both CPU’s.

There are two different modes to implement redundancy:

• Cold redundancy: The databases in both CPU's are NOT synchronized. When switching, the
other CPU will initialize with its own database using default values.

• Hot redundancy: You must define a high-speed communication channel (Ethernet) between
the two CPU’s to keep the database updated in the backup CPU. When switching, the
redundant CPU will initialize with updated values.

identical, that is, it is very important to use the SAME Easergy Builder configuration in both
CPU’s.

The backup CPU's database is updated when exceptions are thrown (i.e. only the modified points
are updated), except for the initialization after which the entire database is updated. The
DB_UPDATE supervision point allows us to monitor the process.

Additional IP’s

You can define a list of IP addresses related to the HOT CPU. These addresses are dynamically
associated, so that in redundant systems they can always communicate with the online CPU at the
time.

warning console message will be displayed to inform about an anomalous situation
(sup_redAddIPs: dev xxx ip x.x.x.x subnetMask xxxxxxxx).

The message is an operating system warning, even though it will not cause a malfunction.

PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol), HSR (Highly-available Seamless Redundancy) and RSTP
(Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) protocols allow using two physical ports as a unique logical port,
with a same MAC address and IP.

We can configure HUe with PRP, HSR and RSTP protocols:

4.6.13.1 Configuring PRP

This protocol is based on the use of two independent networks at all levels, LAN A and LAN B, and
sending the same message at the same time on both networks.

The device must send through each of its two network interfaces, a frame with the same MAC and
the same IP through a different port in both networks.

In this case we need to have two switches, one for network A and one for network B. In HUe the
network A (LAN(A)) for PRP is always the interfaces labelled LAN2.

• button, to remove a module.

• buttons, to change the address of the modules.

• button, to create in coreDb acquisition and diagnostics points for all included modules.

For more information, you can look at the claq in the manual of the different acquisition modules.

4.6.15 General Purpose Digital Inputs

HUe has 4 digital inputs located in the lower left, only configurable as single inputs. These signals
are useful to inform the operator about a general problem in the system. All signals can be
configured for a general-purpose, but Digital 1 and 2 can be used with the following purpose too:

• Digital 1: This signal provides the HU module with information about the digital inputs’
polarization status of the ABs installed in the ITB. When the signal is active (1), the polarization
of all digital signals is correct. If the signal is disabled (0), the HU will understand that there is a
problem with polarization.

In order for the CPU to interpret the value of Digital 1 in this way, the supervision signal
POL_OK_ABDI must be included in coreDb.

• Digital 2: Depending on this signal is active or not, the CPU will understand that the ITB is in

LOCAL mode (signal is 1) or in REMOTE mode (signal is 0). In order for the CPU to interpret
the value of Digital 2 in this way, the supervision signal LOCALREMOTE or LOCALREMOTE:I
must be included in coreDb.

Otherwise, the behavior would be unpredictable.

If you define LOCALREMOTE, when Digital 2 is 1  LOCALREMOTE is 1, the ITB is in LOCAL
mode, so the commands are not enabled in the digital output modules. If the Digital 2 signal is 0 
LOCALREMOTE is 0, the ITB is in REMOTE mode, which will be the normal operating state.

If, instead, you create the LOCALREMOTE:i point in CoreDb, this signal inverts the value of Digital

2.

User Manual – HUe

The REMOTE mode is the default mode when neither LOCALREMOTE nor LOCALREMOTE:I are
included in coreDb.

To configure these signals, click on claq Device, and select the module HUe on the ITB. The HUe
module lights up in green and the 4 general-purpose digital Inputs available in the module are
displayed.

Figure 56 - Configure signals Easergy Builder

For each signal you need to define:

• Type: Type of digital input. You can only select DI_ISIM (simple digital input) for these digital
signals in the HUe module.

• Invert: It indicates if the signal is inverted (Y) or not (N).

• TF (ms): Filtering time to be used for the digital filtering. Expressed in milliseconds, it can

range between 0 and 255.

• TM (ms*10): Memory time to be considered for change memory. The indicated value is
expressed with 10-ms intervals, and it can range between 0 and 255.

• NChat and TChat: They have no effect on these signals and cannot be configured.

For this type of signals, you need to configure “Digital Filtering” and “Change Memory”. Both
concepts are explained in further details below.

active, select button . If Workspace mode is active select button . Then,
you are prompted to confirm the project save operation. Press “Yes” and the log window will
display the information about the operation progress.

Finally, reset the RTU and, if no problem occurs, the console will display the information about the

5.1 Getting Started with HUe

5.1.1 Connection with the Console

You have several options to connect with the HUe console: using a SFTP client (for example,
Filezilla), using webApp (HUe web-based tool), or using a USB pen drive connected to the USB
Host port.

You need the following:

• An Ethernet cable connected to the CPU's MNT port and PC's Ethernet port. Both need to be
connected in the same network. This wired connection is only necessary when transferring the
update file through SFTP or webApp. If using a pen drive, it would not be necessary.

• A file with the new Baseline to be installed. It will be a compressed file with a name like
“Baseline_11.06.02.tar.gz”.

The file's name containing the image must have a specific syntax:

• It must start with "Baseline_", (no case sensitivity).

• It must finish with the ".tar.gz" extension

The following names are valid, for example: BaseLine_11.04.00.tar.gz, Baseline_10.tar.gz, and
BASELINE_9.3.0.tar.gz.

5.2 Baseline Update through SFTP

You must install the client SFTP software in our PC to connect to the CPU. This Ethernet cable
must be connected to the MNT port. Both the CPU and our PC must be in the same subnet.

You check the connection by using the ping command in a command prompt:

Once the connection is verified, you open the FTP client software and establish connection with the
CPU using the SFTP protocol and Installer (user) and Installer1! (password).

When connection is established, you can see the /home folder. You need to change to /mnt/bf or
/mnt/flash folder and transfer the Baseline file from our PC.

Pag 77

Figure 57 – SFTP connection.

When loading is completed, press the Reset button on the CPU. If the console is available you can
see that when browsing to the Baseline file, the installation is executed directly.

Once installed, the compressed file including the Baseline image is deleted.

Finally, reboot the system and Baseline is updated.

5.3 Baseline Update through USB

If you want to use the USB to upgrade the system, you only need to copy the file to the USB pen
drive's root folder, connect the drive to the port and reboot the HUe.

During Linux initialization, the USB drive is installed in /mnt/usb1 and, if the file with a Baseline
image is detected, the implementation is executed automatically.

There is a slight difference after the installation with respect to the previous section:

• The target image is not deleted from the /mnt/usb1 device. Therefore, you could use the pen
drive to restore the same image in different CPU’s.

• Since the /mnt/usb1 image is not deleted, the system does not reboot. Thus, any "auto-
installation" of the same image is prevented. We recommend that, after the file's automatic
installation from the /mnt/usb1 device, you remove the pen drive and reboot the system
manually.

The priority order for the update procedure is:

• File in USB drive

• File in /mnt/bf

• File in /mnt/flash

5.5 AB Software Update

Apart from the software installed in the HUe, both the acquisition blocks and the communication
blocks have a software to be updated.

To update the ITB modules’ software you need:

• To have a console connection with HUe.

• To have a correct addressing in all ITB modules (please, see section 4.3 ).

• Update file for each type of module.

Once Baseline is installed in the HUe module, the /mnt/flash directory will include all the files
required to update any of the modules in the ITB. If you have a file with a more recent update for

For installing the baseline, use a pendrive following the normal procedure.

It is important to use the factory baseline (file name contains “_F_”), which contains the default
IP definition.

5.9 Console Commands

The HUe operating system offers a high-priority command console to help with certain monitoring
and diagnostic tasks.

The connection to this console from the PC is established through the CON port. The section 4.1.1
in this manual describes how you can access the command console.

You need to take the following factors into account:

• The use of the command console must be restricted only to expert operators in the system.

• The command execution in the console must return a “0” character when outputted. If it returns

other values, then there has been a problem in the execution. It is usually caused by
parameters with the wrong format.

• When executing a command for any controller, it must be saved into the memory to solve this
problem, that is, the controller must be included in the configuration loaded in the CPU from
Easergy Builder.

Only the Device controllers included in the current configuration will be loaded into the memory.

Then, the commands available in the console for the Installer user are displayed below. To find out
the arguments that a command requires, you have used the following convention:

• (No parameters):The command must be executed directly, with no additional parameter.

• <XX>:Required parameter. It must be replaced with the XX value. The symbols <>MUST NOT

be included.

• [YY]:Optional argument. If using the argument, it must be replaced with the YY value. The
characters [] MUST NOT be included.
