H8822

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Modbus TX/RX: The Modbus TX and RX LEDs blink to indicate data on the • RS485/Modbus loop. The RX LED blinks only when data is received by the AcquiSuite Modem RTS: the modem is being monitored or operated by the • AcquiSuite DR, oﬀ when the modem is idle. This LED will be on when a dialout call is in progress, or when dialin is enabled and waiting for an inbound call. Modem CD: the modem has a carrier connection to a remote system.• Modem TX/RX: data is being sent or received on the modem.• Alive: blinks once per second while the system is operating correctly. • Inputs 1-8: in pulse mode, the LED is on when contacts are closed. In • analog 4-20mA and 0-10V mode, the LED blinks quickly (2hz) to indicate an input error alarm.

6. Verify connected devices: To verify that the Modbus devices are installed and reporting correctly, use the Modbus status utility on the AcquiSuite DR™ server. To do this test, follow these steps:

A. Press and release the menu (top) button on the AcquiSuite DR. The following will appear on the LCD display:

4. (optional) Connect the Modbus network loop as shown in the wiring diagram. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing and powering the Modbus devices. Verify that the Modbus address set tings are unique for each device (i.e., no two devices with the same address) and power up the device. Connect each device in the chain by “daisy-chaining” the devices together. Observe + and polarity on the Modbus devices.

Note: Low Voltage analog, pulse, and RS485 wiring that enters electrical panels must have a minimum insulation rating that exceeds the voltage inside the panel. In addition, other regulations may apply; consult the building codes in your area prior to installation.

Note: Some Modbus devices do not use the same label notation as the AcquiSuite DR.

Note: The AcquiSuite DR H8822 internal IO module (analog and pulse inputs) uses Modbus address 250, and will show up in the Modbus device count as a single Modbus device. Additional H8923-4 IO modules may be added to the Modbus loop as needed.

5. Power-up and diagnostics: Attach the power supply to the power input jack on the AcquiSuite DR, and plug the power brick into a wall outlet. The power brick should be in a location that is accessible for connection and disconnection. After power is applied, the green alive light in the upper right of the AcquiSuite DR should come on and the LCD display will display a series of diagnostic screens ending with the following message on the LCD display (this boot sequence may require up to 20 seconds to complete):

This indicates that the AcquiSuite DR has loaded properly and is ready for conﬁguration and connection to the network and sensors. If the “power” light does not come on or the LCD display does not cycle to the above screen, verify that the power cord is plugged in. If after cycling the power the unit still does not power up (or if an error message appears in the LCD display) contact technical support. After the H8822 has been powered up for a minute, the yellow RS485 LED should blink slowly once per second during normal operation. Contac t closure on pulse inputs will cause the red pulse LED to blink. Verify each pulse input is functioning properly by observing the pulse status LEDs.

B. Press the menu (top) button several more times until the LCD display shows the following message:

Main Menu

Modbus Status

C. Press the select (bottom) button on the server and the unit will begin the diagnosis of the Modbus loop. After the check is completed, the unit will display the following message:

X devices OK

X fail, X new

D. Verify that the number of devices located by the server (the total of OK, fail and new) matches the number of devices actually installed and connected. For a ﬁrst time installation, all devices should appear as “new." The AcquiSuite DR H8822 Internal IO (pulse and analog inputs) appear as one device in this list. (Note: A “device” is the Modbus connected device, not necessarily the sensor. For example, an H8923-4 I/O module with 4 sensors connected is only one modbus device, not four) For further information on the LCD console, please review the console section of this manual.

E. The AcquiSuite DR completes a background scan for new Modbus devices every 2-5 minutes. Increasing the RS485 Modbus timeout may increase the time required to detec t new devices. If the Modbus devices are connected after the server is booted up, the devices may not appear on the screen for several minutes. In the worst case, allow up to 5 minutes for the AcquiSuite DR to locate all the connected devices.

F. If all devices are reporting properly, it is now time to connec t the server to the network or phone line for remote reporting and conﬁguration.

basic network confiGuration

1. Determine the IP addressing needs: The IP address of the AcquiSuite DR™ server can be implemented using one of three methods. Check with the network administrator to determine which method applies. For phone installations, use “direct connection to laptop” to allow initial conﬁguration.

Static IP address - this is a ﬁxed IP address which is assigned by a network • administrator and “hard-coded” into the AcquiSuite DR; or Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) address - this process • assigns an IP address dynamically to the AcquiSuite DR when it is connected to the network from a host DHCP server; or Direct connec tion between the AcquiSuite DR and a single temporary • computer such as a laptop. (primary connection will be dialin or dialout by modem) You will need the following information from your network • administrator: The addresses will be in the form of “###.###.###.###”), where “#” refers to the numbers 0 to 9. See the Network Address Worksheet below for more information.

2. Conﬁgure the IP address as selected from the table above. For Direct Connection to Laptop, the address settings above are set as the factory default, and you may be able to skip to the “Laptop/Computer Setup” section if the factory default settings are present.

To begin conﬁguration, make sure that the server displays the start screen:

AcquiSuite Ready

If this screen does not appear on the LCD display, press and hold the menu (top)

button on the ser ver for several seconds and the message should appear. To change the IP address to the static address assigned by the network administrator, do the following:

A. Press the menu (top) button once to get the TCP/IP conﬁguration menu.

Main Menu

TCP/IP Conﬁg

INSTALLATION GUIDE

C. Press the select button again to see the IP address menu.

IP Address

192.168.40.50

D. At this point, the cursor on the display will be blinking on the ﬁrst number in the IP address on the second line.

E. To change the number, press the menu (top) button and the display will cycle through the digits 0-9 as well as “.”. Once the correct digit is displayed, press the select (lower) button to advance to the nex t digit and repeat the process until all the digits are correct.

F. Once the IP address on the server matches the assigned IP address, press the select (bottom) button once more to return to the main TCP/IP menu.

3. Set the Netmask, gateway, and DNS server(s) addresses as noted in the chart “Network Address Worksheet” using the same technique as shown above. The only change is that after Step B, press the menu (top) button multiple times to see the netmask, gateway, and dns setup menu, then push the select but ton to set the option.

Note: If DHCP conﬁguration is selec ted, the IP, netmask, gateway, and dns server addresses will be obtained automatically. Simply select the “Enable DHCP” from the ﬁrst TCP/IP conﬁguration manu.

4. After the address information has been set, you must reboot the AcquiSuite DR. Select the “(Previous Menu)” option after step B above. The menu will then state that the AcquiSuite DR must be rebooted to take eﬀect. Press ‘select’ to allow the AcquiSuite DR to reboot. Once the AcquiSuite DR has rebooted, the new IP address will be displayed on the console. If DHCP addressing was speciﬁed, the server assigned address will be displayed.

Note: if DHCP is unable to obtain an ip address, the AcquiSuite DR will use the fallback address of 192.168.0.100.

B. Press the select (bottom) button twice to get the IP conﬁg menu.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. You must have a computer to access and conﬁgure the AcquiSuite DR. This computer must have an ethernet connection (on the LAN or by direct connection) and must have a web browser installed such as Internet Explorer or Netscape.

Note: If your building already has an existing LAN that the AcquiSuite DR is attached to, you can use an existing computer on that LAN. Check with your network administrator for details. If this option is available, use a LAN connected computer and skip to the “AcquiSuite DR administration overview” section below.

The remainder of this section will assume the installer has brought a laptop to the site, and will connect the laptop to the building LAN, or directly to the AcquiSuite DR. Attach the laptop to the AcquiSuite DR or LAN as shown.

2. Attach the laptop to the AcquiSuite DR or to the LAN. If the laptop is to be attached to an existing LAN, use a standard (direct) ethernet patch cable. If the laptop is to be attached directly to the AcquiSuite DR use an ethernet “Crossover” cable. If the laptop is to be attached to an existing LAN, obtain a static IP address (or use DHCP addressing) from the network administrator.

3. Conﬁgure the laptop IP address using the following steps.

Note: Only MS Windows is detailed below, however you can use any OS/ Browser you wish such as MacOS or Linux. Details on network setup fornonwindows operating systems is beyond the scope of this document however.

A. From the Windows start menu, select the “Settings”, “Control Panel” option. Double click the network icon in the displayed window.

Note: If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, select the ‘Local Area’ connection icon in the network folder, then click the “Properties” button.

B. In the network setup dialog, there should be a list of items including adapters, clients and protocols. Locate the protocol labeled “TCP/IP”.

Note: If you have multiple ethernet cards, you may have multiple lines labeled “TCP/IP --> ethernet card”. Locate the ethernet card that corresponds to the physical connection to the AcquiSuite DR and then select the TCP/IP option that is linked with that ethernet card.

C. Double click the TCP/IP option you selected in step B above. An example screen is shown. Set the IP and Netmask from the laptop Address Worksheet above. It would be helpful to make note of your previous settings in this dialog so you may set them back af ter you are done with the AcquiSuite DR Conﬁguration.

D. Close the TCP/IP settings dialog, and Network dialog. If you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME, you will be required to reboot your computer.

E. Close the TCP/IP Settings dialog and Network dialog.

F. Repeat these steps for each Modbus device.

Some devices may require additional information. The H8238 Multi circuit power meter allows the CT size to be speciﬁed. The H8923-4 IO Module and the H8822 AcquiSuite DR internal IO module have additional conﬁguration options on each data point line to specif y the details of the analog or pulse input. These include the 4-20mA device scale, multipliers and engineering units. Each 4-20mA or 0-10V sensor should be supplied with technical information including the low and high range values that can be used to conﬁgure the AcquiSuite DR. Also, the AcquiSuite DR has many common sensor types pre-programmed that can be selec ted from a drop down list. Review the Modbus Advanced Conﬁguration Options section of this manual for further conﬁguration details.

7. Select the Modbus/Setup menu option. Specify the Modbus Loop Name. This will become the name of the AcquiSuite DR. This is the name that will appear on the BMO website service (if subscribed). Specify the data logging period. The default is 15 minutes.

8. Decide upon a method of data transfer. (see section later in this document) If you select the HTTP/Post method to send data to the BMO website, you can conﬁgure this by selecting the “LogFileData, Setup/Upload” page.

A. Make note of the AcquiSuite DR serial number.

B. Select upload options as needed for time of day to upload the data and retry control.

C. Check the checkbox to allow remote conﬁguration. This will allow you to reconﬁgure the AcquiSuite DR from the BMO web site without having to connect direc tly to the AcquiSuite DR.

D. Specify the “Target address to upload data.” This is the website address where the AcquiSuite DR will send the collected data. If you have an in-house data collection service, you should enter the address of your data server in this ﬁeld. If you are using BMO service, the target address to upload data should be set to http://www.buildingmanageronline.com/upload.php

E. When conﬁguring the AcquiSuite DR to send data to the BMO site or your own data collection server, the AcquiSuite DR will authenticate itself with the server by using the serial number and a password. This password must be supplied here, and can be obtained when you subscribe for the BMO service, or by your database administrator.

F. Click “Apply” to save your changes.

If you select a manual transfer method, remove (blank out) the target address in the Modbus/Upload Data page.

security

The AcquiSuite DR has three levels of security. These are "operator," "user," and "admin." When using a browser to access the AcquiSuite DR, basic http authentication is used to prompt your browser for a username and password. The admin account uses "admin" as the default password. To change the password, select the Accounts menu from the left side tree display. Next, select the account name. Click the "Change Password" button to set a new password for the selected account.

admin: This account has full access to modif y any of the system settings. The default password is "admin."

operator: This account may view settings, however may only change modbus alarm ranges and device names.

user: This account can view some system settings including the modbus device status pages and can change nothing.

When using FTP to access the AcquiSuite DR, you may use the admin account username/password for read-only access. Log information is stored in /var/log/ Modbus. For read-write-delete access, use the login name “root” and the admin password.

The three usernames speciﬁed are not able to be changed or renamed, nor can arbitrary usernames be added to the AcquiSuite DR. Access is only controlled by setting the password for the three existing usernames noted above.

The “operator” and “user” accounts are disabled by default. These accounts are activated when you ﬁrst set a password for each.
