Remote control and monitoring server PCS200
1 Product description
CMH WEB server is an optional device for T erra Bus managed devices monitoring and control.
Unit is considered as a master device on T erra Bus network as web-based frontend. Through the web server it is
possible to:
- monitor up to 255 devices connected to the data bus;
- view and change parameters on the individual devices;
- view device specific diagnostic information;
- operate advanced mode in terminal enabled devices;
- upgrade device firmware.
Unit is intended to be used together with MMH3000, CMH3000 and RMH3000 headends.
The product is intended for indoor usage only .
It is strictly recommended to feed AC power using UPS.
2 Safety instructions
The server is powered from mains 230 V~. This voltage is dangerous to life.
Any repairs must be done by a qualified personnel.
T o avoid the electric shock follow these instructions:
Do not remove the cover, without isolating the unit from the mains supply .
Do not plug the server into the mains supply if the power cord or plug are damaged.
Do not plug the server into the mains supply until all cables have been connected correctly.
To disconnect the server , disconnect plug from mains socket.
The mains socket must be easily accessible.
The server shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on it.
A void placing server next to central heating components and in areas of high humidity.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on server .
If the server has been kept in cold conditions for a long time, keep it in a warm room no less than 2 hours before
plugging into the mains.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers,
table-cloths, curtains.

See “External view and operating control” section 4 for visual interface control locations.
5.1 USB control
Terra Bus data bus can be managed using front panel USB port along with proper PC software (e.g. T erra Link,
CMH Master). During USB control mode LCD panels shows system status: “USB CONTROL”, “ADDRESSED”
LED turns green and web server activity is suspended.
Note: To use USB port the driver must be installed. See supplied CD for more information.
5.2 LCD Display
Alphanumeric LCD display shows current server status as well as network settings.
5.3 Keypad
Basic network configuratin can be setup using onboard keypad. To move inside menu, press “>” or “<” buttons.
To activate selected submenu press “Enter”. “ESC” cancels any actions and returns to the default location (“System
status”).
Menu structure:
System Status > IP adress > Netmask > Gateway > Primary DNS > Secondary DNS > Reboot
T o change digital value press “Enter” and increase or decrease number above the marked using “>” or “<”
buttons. Selection is confirmed by pressing “Enter”.
Repeat this sequence untill the last number is set. After finishing the configuration select “Reboot” and press
“Enter”. System will reboot by indicating “System busy” in the “System status” screen. After changing status to “Ok”
system is running with new network settings.
5.4 “Addressed” indicator
Green “Addressed” indicator turns on when USB cable is connected.
5.5 “Status” indicator
Green“Status” indicator stays on as long as PCS200 server is powered up. Note that for PCS200 units with
firmware version below 2.00, “Status” LED could be red.
5.6 “Ground” clamp
It is highly recommended to have “Earth” safety terminal connected to “Ground” clamp to improve electrical
safety and EMI immunity.
5.7 230V ~50 Hz power supply input
5.8 Cooling fan
PCS200 has internal temperature sensor built in. Cooling fan is automatically started keeping device operating
safely if internal temperature gets above threshold limit.
5.9 “Terra Bus” data bus connectors
“Terra Bus” data bus is based on robust and industry standard RS485 bus specifications. Two parallel connectors
provided for user installation convenience. 4P4C “Terra Bus” cable is included in the package.
PCS200 “T erra Bus” cables must be unplugged if another master (PC or handheld) is used on the data bus.

5.10 UPS communication port
This port has two inputs used to monitor and report UPS status.
Recommended mating terminal block connector:
T yco Electronics
p/n 284507-4 or p/n 284509-4
Pin-out:
pin 1 – 0V(logic ground)
pin 2 – PCS200 Input #4 (Battery Low)
pin 3 – 0V (logic ground)
pin 4 – PCS200 input #3 (Power Failure)
Input #3 and #4 status and log can be viewed with web interface by clicking on “I/O Control” link.
Most smart UPS devices have standard serial port (female D-SUB 9) with status information.
See connection table for PCS200 interfacing to smart UPS serial port.
PCS200 UPS COMM. UPS serial port Notes
pins (female D-SUB 9)
1 4 0V (logic ground)
2 5 Battery Low, open-collector output from UPS.
Normally low (0V), goes high when low battery .
3 4 0V (logic ground)
4 2 Power Failure, RS232 level output from UPS.
Normally RS232 low level (-12V), goes to
RS232 high level (+12V) when line power failure.
5.1 1 Digital opto-isolated inputs
There are two general purpose inputs.
Recommended mating terminal block connector:
T yco Electronics
p/n 284507-4 or p/n 284509-4

5.12 Digital relay outputs
There are two digital relay outputs. They could be used to control module power relays. This way user could
remotely restart station modules.
Recommended mating terminal block connector:
T yco Electronics
p/n 284507-4 or p/n 284509-4
Pin-out:
Pin 1 – Output #1 contact 1
Pin 2 – Output #1 contact 2
Pin 3 – Output #2 contact 1
Pin 4 – Output #2 contact 2
Relay output contacts electrical rating: 30VDC, 2A.
When power is off and while system is booting, both relay output contacts are NORMALL Y CLOSED. This way
using relay outputs to control system module power relays, system modules remain operational when PCS200 is
restarting.
When PCS200 has booted, outputs can be controlled by web interface (“I/O Control” link). Pressing “ON”
makes contacts closed, “OFF” - contacts open.
5.13 Temperature sensor
This interface allows to connect external temperature sensor (1-Wire compatible).
Pin-out:
Pin 1 - +5V power (supplied by PCS200)
Pin 2 - not used
Pin 3 - 1-Wire data bus
Pin 4 - 0V (logic ground)
Temperature sensors can be supplied as an option, please contact manufacturer for further information.
5.14 Ethernet port
This Ethernet port is used to connected PCS200 to the network. PCS200 supports 10/100Mbps Ethernet.
If PCS200 is placed behind a firewall or a router, make sure certain ports are open/forwarded (see “Connecting
to the network” section 6 for more details).
5.15 Secondary Ethernet port (optional)
This feature is enabled with PCS200 firmware versions 1.20 and above.
Secondary 10/100Mbps Ethernet port can be used to connect an IP streaming device like IP camera or video
server. Additional video/audio stream (TCP or UDP) ports needs to be open/forwarded if PCS200 is located
behind firewall/router . See “Video monitor” section 8.3 for more details.
5.16 Console port RS232 (debug)
This RS232 serial port (115200bps, 8-N-1) outputs some debug boot messages, and can be ignored by the user .
