1. Warnings and legal information

Legal information and responsibility

Thomson Technology takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how to install or operate the engine controlled by the unit, the company responsible for the installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.

The units are not to be opened by unauthorized personnel. If opened anyway, the

Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminals against static discharges during the installation. Once the unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

Installing the unit implies work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with live electrical equipment.

Be aware of the hazardous live measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.

warranty will be lost.

Safety issues

Factory settings

The unit is delivered with certain factory settings. Given the fact that these settings are based on average values, they are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the individual engine. Thus precautions must be taken to check the settings before running the engine.

Definitions

Throughout this document a number of notes and warnings will be presented. To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted in order to separate them from the general text.

Notes

bear in mind.

The warnings indicate a potential death, personal injury or damaged equipment, if certain guide followed.

Feature EXP

EXP is a CANbus based serial interface for external I/O controllers. This option gives the possibility to add more inputs and outputs to MEX 310 controllers via the CANbus.

MEC 310 controllers support the CANopen protocol. This protocol is based on the CANopen Application Layer and Communication Profile Specification CiA Draft Standard 301 Version 4.02. It is not the purpose of this document to describe all the functionalities of the CANopen communication. The CANopen is implemented and runs according to the CANopen standards and needs no special attention from the user.

Installation of Beckhoff controller (bus coupler)

The following is a step-by-step guide to set up the communication between the MEC 310 unit and the Beckhoff modules.

Beckhoff controller setup

CANbus wiring

Documentation regarding Beckhoff modules can be found at www.beckhoff.com.

1. Set the Baud rate to ‘AUTO’.

2. Set the Node ID to a value between 10 and 64.

3. Connect the required I/O modules to the controller.

4. Mount the ‘End Bus Terminal’: KL9010 module.

5. Disconnect power to the MEC 310 and the Beckhoff controller.

6. Connect the CANbus wires to the Beckhoff controller according to the ‘Installation Instructions’.

7. Connect power to the MEC 310 unit and the Beckhoff controller.

8. Set CAN1 type (menu 7971 = H8.2 or menu 7981 = H8.8) to 'Beckhoff comm.'.

9. Set the Baud rate (default: 125kbit/s).

10. Set the Node ID (menu 7973/7983) to the same value as selected on the Beckhoff

11. Communication between the MEC 310 unit and the Beckhoff controller is now established.
