1.3 Handling Electronical Components


The normal movements of a person easily can generate electrostatic potentials of several thousands of volts. A discharge
of these voltages on the electronics during the manipulation can damage it. Is possible that this damage doesn't be
detected immediately but they can have reduced the reliability of the equipment.

While all electronic components are installed into their enclosure, they are protected for relevant levels of electrostatic
discharge.

WARNING
The enclosure shouldn’t be retired when isn’t necessary, because this action has a risk for the equipment.

If the enclosure must be removed, the following precautions must be strictly followed:

 Before removing the enclosure, the operator must be equipotential with the equipment that he is handling.
 Avoid to touch the electronic. The board must be always manipulated for the edges.
 If the equipment has to be passed between two persons, both must be equipotential.
 Put the module always on an antistatic surface or on a surface equipotential with you.
 During the storage and transport, the module will remain in its conductive or antistatic bag.

1.4 Installation and Operation


The user is responsible for checking that the rated characteristics of the device are suitable for its application. The user is
responsible for reading and following the device’s operating and installation instructions before attempting to commission
or maintain it. Failure to follow these instructions can affect device operation and constitute a hazard for people and
property.
Some Saitel modules can have elements with dangerous voltages (> 50 V). It is recommended to install the equipments
inside a cabinet with a key. This cabinet only should be opened by a qualified person. If this type of cabinet isn't available,
a barrier must be installed in order to avoid an accidental contact with these dangerous elements. This barrier only should
can be removed using an special tool.

An electrical risk symbol with enough size must be included on the cabinet’s door or on the barrier.

WARNING
If the barrier has to be removed in order to access to equipment, personnel responsible for the task must be sure that
the barrier is installed again when the task is finished.

Following image shows an example:

Saitel DP Modules 14
Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 1-1. Protection barrier for elements handling dangerous voltage.

WARNING
The terminals mustn't be accessible to the user directly when the installation of the equipment has been finished. The
cabinet should remain blocked with key or the protection barrier installed.

Modules that handle dangerous voltages are marked with a sticker of electrical hazards on the front (size 12.5 mm). This
is the case of SM_PS and SM_PS40 modules and SM_DI32 when digital inputs are polarized with voltage higher than 50
V.

DANGER
As for SM_DO16R modules, since alone does not handle high voltages, NO will be marked at the factory. This module
must be marked to inform about the risk when some equipments that manage voltage higher than 50 V are connected
to digital outputs.

The cabinet or installation must have a general switch placed just in the cable entry of the installation in order to assure
the absence of dangerous voltages. This switch must be placed in such a way that it doesn't allow be manipulated by a
third person whereas anybody operates inside the cabinet.
In addition, the installation must have a switch in order to protect the internal installation of the cabinet of short-circuits in
the supply from this one. Both switches have to be marked with the symbol O for OFF and the symbol I for ON.

WARNING
The switch for connection / disconnection must be installed on a fix element (i.e. the wall of the cabinet) and it mustn’t
interrupt any ground cable.

Only a dry cloth should be used for the cleanliness of the surface of the equipment when excessive presence of powder is
detected or when there is a foreign body deposited on the surface.

WARNING
You mustn't use a liquid product of cleanliness due to the presence of active parts.

1.5 Protective Grounding


WARNING
 Before energizing the equipment, this must be correctly grounded as it is indicated in paragraphs 1.5.1 and
1.5.2.
 In the installation of the equipment, ground is the first thing that should be connected and the last one that
should be disconnected.

15 Saitel DP Modules
Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Saitel must be grounded for two different reasons:


 Electric safety (Protective Earth or PE).
 To Improve the behaviour in EMC and to derive the perturbances to earth.

1.5.1 Electric Safety


In order to compliance with the international norm IEC 61010-1, these indications must be followed. The installation
manager must assure that all requirements indicated in this manual are followed.

When Saitel DP is mounted on back-panel, the backplane on is metallic enclosure must be installed on a
metallic surface. This surface must connected to the ground of the cabinet or installation according to the
norm IEC 61010-1. When Saitel DP is mounted on a chassis, this chassis must be connected to the ground
of the installation.

Cables used for grounding of the metallic surface used in the installation of the modules must be yellow and green, with an
enough section in order to support 25 A (ground bonding test).

Figure 1-2. Yellow and green cable for ground.

The installation manager is responsible for compliance with all the existing international and national electrical codes
concerning protective grounding of any device.

WARNING
According to the norms about Electric Safety, the screw for ground must be exclusive for this use.

About the plastic enclosure of the modules, electric safety regulation doesn’t apply.

1.5.2 EMC
The available rear connector on each module allows the bus connection and it offers protection in case of electric derive.
The EMC grounding is implemented via three pins of this connector.

WARNING
Never connect modules on the backplanes if the power supply hasn’t been disconnected of all circuits with dangerous
voltages.

The only modules with a ground connection are the power supplies (SM_PS and SM_PS40). Both must be connected to
the ground of the cabinet.

1.6 Replacing the Battery and Recicling the Product


Some Saitel DP modules could include a Lithium battery NOT rechargeable. More information about the model in the
technical data table for each module.

Figure 2-3. Saitel DP architecture.

2-1 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

2.2 Saitel DP Modules


The Saitel DP electronic modules have been designed to operate in aggressive industrial environments, complying with
the highest standards, such as Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The low-consumption design allows modules to
operate without a forced ventilation system, which creates a wide range of possible applications.

2.2.1 Available Module Types


The set of modules making up the platform are:
 Control Units. The modules SM_CPU866 (using VxWorks OS) and SM_CPU866e (using Linux OS) are powerful
CPU modules with abundant memory processing capabilities and Fast-Ethernet connections.
 Serial Communication Modules. SM_SER allows extend the communication capability of the CPU.
 Power Supply. There are two options: we can use the SM_PS and SM_PS40 modules or an external power
supply.
 I/O Modules. There is a wide range of I/O modules, for analog and digital signals: SM_DI32, SM_DO32T,
SM_DO16R, SM_AI16 and SM_AI8AO4.
 Backplanes. This type of module is completely different from the modules described above, as its main purpose is
to support the rest of the modules, by providing additional functions. There are two backplane models available:
SM_BPX and SM_CHX.
Each module is described in detail in the following chapters of this manual.

2.2.2 General Features


Appearance
The next figure shows an example of a Saitel DP module:

Figure 2-4. A Saitel DP module.

Cover
The modules have a plastic enclosure that especially it is designed to facilitate the insertion and the wiring of the modules.
The level of protection provided by the enclosure is IP20.

DANGER
Never open the module’s enclosure. Never install an electronic board without the plastic enclosure.

Interface
Internally, all modules are electrically connected to the backplane using a 48-pin connector on the rear side. In relation to
the connection with external devices, all the elements required for the module’s operation and maintenance tasks are
located on the front side.
Each type of module provides a specific feature and its connection interface is further discussed in this manual.

Switches
The modules integrate a 12-position switch on the rear side. The function of these switches depends on the module type,
but in general, it is used to set the addresses and communication rate.
The concrete application of each module type is explained in the respective sections of this manual.

Saitel DP Modules 2-2


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 2-5. Module’s switches.

Indications
All modules include several LED indicators on the front panel which provide status and diagnostic information. The
meaning of these LEDs depends on the module type. This information will only be valid if the module is completely
configured and operational.
In addition, a diagnosis can be made using the Saitel Webtool.

2.3 System Buses


Each backplane includes a multifunctional bus (Profibus TTL) that covers the power and intercommunication
requirements. This bus is designed to be tolerant to failures, both from a power aspect, as from a communications aspect.
Additionally, a Profibus RS-485 is included to support backplane expansion.
The figure below shows schematically the situation of both buses in the system:

Figure 2-6. Profibus TTL and Profibus RS-485.

NOTICE
It is important to note that, both the first chassis and the last chassis or backplane, must be configured as bus
terminations. See chapter “Backplane Modules” of this manual.

These buses integrate the following bus lines:


 Profibus TTL:
o PE - Protection ground.
o PW1/2 – Power bus (primary and redundant).
o PF1/2 (TTL) - Primary and redundant Profibus TTL buses.
o MUX - Serial data bus for communications with the SM_SER module.
o SYN (TTL) - Bus for synchronization for the modules. (Pulse Per Second or PPS).
o SER - Serial bus for synchronization between redundant CPU modules.
 Profibus RS-485:
o PF1/2 (485) - Primary and redundant Profibus RS-485 buses.
o SYN (485) - Bus RS-485 for synchronization for the modules. (PPS).
The figure below shows the buses available in the backplane:

Chapter 3. Installation
3.1 Introduction
Some steps of the installation procedure of a module in its backplane are common for all modules, and other steps will
depend on the type of module to be mounted. The following steps are common for the installation of any module:
 Handling the module with extremely care (paragraph 3.2).
 Selecting the right location within the backplane (paragraph 3.3).
 Considering the backplane power requirements (paragraph 3.4).

3.2 Handling
WARNING
The electrostatic discharges may damage semi-conducive devices within the module, if the connector pins are in
contact with the backplane.

Please note the following precautions to avoid electrostatic damages:


 You should handle the module from the front side, as far as possible from the backplane connectors.
 You should never touch the pins of the backplane connector.
 You should keep the module in its antistatic bag, when unused.

3.3 Module Location within the Chassis


All modules must be installed always in vertical position.
When using a power supply such as the SM_PS or SM_PS40 module, it must be located in the position 1 (slot1 left-hand
side). In redundant-power supply configurations, there must be two reserved positions for the two power supply modules.
These positions must be 1 and 2.
Remaining modules can be located in any position (slot) within the chassis.

Figure 3-1. Backplane`s positions.

Modules must be grouped to minimize the adverse effects caused by noise and heat, therefore, modules, and more
specifically the CPU modules, must be placed as far as possible from the modules which operate at alternating currents or
high currents.
If the system has redundant CPUs, both control modules must be put together in the backplane.

3.4 Power Requirements

WARNING
The voltage input for the backplane is 5.4 ± 0.2 VDC. The external voltage input isn't protected against overvoltage nor
polarity inversion, so an incorrect wiring or an incorrect adjustment of the supply voltage could damage electronic.

3-1 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

More information about how backplanes could be powered using external power supplies in paragraph 8.6.
The SM_PS and SM_PS40 modules (power-supplies) are scalable to supply power to the modules connected to the
backplane, as required. When using auxiliary power supplies it is necessary to scale them depending on the installed
Saitel DP modules.
The power consumption is indicated in the technical specification table for each module in this manual. The consumption
of all modules will be added plus a safety margin (between 20% and 50% of the full power). The power supply efficiency
(typically, 70 - 90%) shall also be considered, in order to prevent the chassis and power supply from overloading.

3.5 Polarization and Commons


The information related to the polarization and commons of each module is provided in the respective chapter of this
manual.

3.6 Identification and Profibus Speed


NOTICE
It is possible to connect up to 96 Saitel DP modules.

The module’s identification and Profibus communication speed can be set using the microswitches on the module's rear
panel. Each microswitch has the following functions:

Figure 3-2. Profibus switches for module configuration.

The module’s identification must be unique, selecting between 1 and 96 using microswitches 1 to 7. The address 0 and
from 97 to 127 are reserved and never can be assigned. In other case, several error are generated when the system boot.
The address definition will be as follows:
P1*20 + P2*21 + P3*22 + P4*23 + P5*24 + P6*25 + P7*26
Assuming Px is the value assigned to the position of microswitch x (0 is OFF and 1 is ON). For example, if switches 2, 4
and 5 are in the ON position, the Profibus address of the module is 26.
The Profibus communication speed must be the same for all Saitel DP modules, which is determined by the speed of the
master, configured by software, in the control module. The speed is set using microswitches 9, 10 and 11 as shown in the
following table:
Position 11 Position 10 Position 9 Profibus Rate
OFF OFF OFF 19.2 kbaud
OFF OFF ON 93.75 kbaud
OFF ON OFF 187.5 kbaud
OFF ON ON 500 kbaud
ON OFF OFF 1.5 Mbaud
ON OFF ON Not available
ON ON OFF Not available
ON ON ON Not available

Table 3-1. Profibus speed.

NOTICE
For optimal system performance is recommended to set the Profibus rate to 1.5 Mbaud.
Microswitches 8 and 12 are reserved and must be set to OFF, except for the SM_DI32 module. See section 7.2.2.4.

Saitel DP Modules 3-2


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

3.7 Location
To mount the module in the backplane, please follow the following instructions:
 Switch off the backplane’s power supply.
 Mount the module at the desired position within the backplane and verify that the rear rails are properly mounted
using the pre-drilled holes on the backplane.
 Firmly press the module to assure the connector fits in the backplane connector properly. Check whether the
module is correctly mounted to the backplane base.
 Fix the module to the backplane using the screw located at the top.
 Insert the terminal or flat ribbon connectors.

WARNING
When installing a SM_CPU866e module with fiber optic, we have to make sure that there is enough space between the
front of the module and the cabinet door when it is closed, because the fiber optics can be pinching with the risk of
breakage. In addition, have in account that the module's flap door must remain opened

3.8 LED Indicators


The Saitel DP modules include some visible LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the front side. All acquisition modules have
common LEDs, and the rest are specific for each module, which are detailed in the corresponding section.
The front panel of each acquisition module has a red indicator DIA and a green indicator RUN. The module performs a
self-check during the start-up process. If no error is detected, the red indicator is switched off and the green indicator
displays the module’s configuration status.
If any problem is detected, the red indicator DIA is switched off. Its meaning for each module is detailed later in this
manual.
This manual provides a complete description of the possible module’s errors and corrective actions.

3.9 Cabling
3.9.1 Field Connection
Acquisition modules can be connected to the field using two different procedures:
 C1: Terminal connection or Direct connection. It is used when the length of the field cabling is short, for example,
when interconnections and assemblies are done within the cabinet, signals are generated in a close site or proceed
from an interface cabinet located at the same site, etc.
 C2: Flat-ribbon connection through terminal blocks. It is used when the distance between the module and the signal
source is long or when the cable gauge needs to be bigger than 0.5 mm2 due to the cabling layout.
The following figures show the available connection options C1 and C2:

Figure 3-3. Module with terminal connection (C1). Figure 3-4. Module with flat-ribbon connection (C2).

A module can be easily replaced by disconnecting the two field-connectors and removing the module from its slot, in both
direct and terminal-block connections.
In some modules, input circuits need to be polarized in order to perform signalling and command functions.
The configuration of each cabling option is further detailed in different chapters in this manual.

3-3 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

3.9.1.1 C1 – Terminal Connection


The acquisition modules have Eurostyle ™ 20-way and 3.81 mm connectors, allowing the user to use multiple solutions to
your needs header connector (terminal screw, spring, small screw ... ).

An example is shown in the following figure:

Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact


Reference: FK-MCP 1.5/20-STF-3.81.

Figure 3-5. Header connector for Saitel DP acquisition modules.

3.9.1.2 C2 – Flat Ribbon Connection Through Terminal Blocks


When the connection is established through terminal blocks, they can be simple connecting interfaces made up by a flat
ribbon and terminals. These spring-type terminals with capacity for 2.5 mm2 gauge cables have a DIN 35 rail fixing base.
The flat ribbon cable has 20 ways, so two terminal blocks for each module are required.

3.9.1.3 Wiring Recommendations for Saitel DP Acquisition Modules


It is necessary to take into account the following considerations regarding the wiring of the modules:
 Recommended cable type: Low voltage computer with 20 x 0.14 by EMELEC.

Figure 3-6. Cable for field connection.

 For connection, you should remove the shield of the cable between 8 and 10 cm and protect the cut with an
insulating material, as shown in the figure:

Figure 3-7. Prepared cable for field connection.

 The shield at the end of each individual cable should be removed for a distance of 0.5 cm, which will be the part of
copper to introduce in the terminal:

Figure 3-8. Wiring of two types of terminals.

To avoid jerking and the weight of the cable doesn't fall on the terminal, when the module is installed in the cabinet, both
wires will be joined with a plastic bracket, and they should be fixed to the cabinet or chassis too.
The following image shows an example:

Figure 3-10. Fixing cables to the cabinet or chassis.

3.9.2 Wiring Types


There are five possible types of wiring:
Group Connection Type
1 Analog input and output to the field.
2 Digital input and output to the field.
3 Communications.
Electronic power supply.
4 Signal polarization.
Auxiliary power supply.
Earth connection for human protection.
5
Earth connection for EMC.

Table 3-2. Wiring groups.

3.9.2.1 Common Recommendations


The following recommendations should be observed:
 Whenever possible, cables of groups 1, 2 and 3 must be wired separately. That is, the analog, digital, and
communication signals should have separate gutters.
 If separate wiring is not possible and the number of signals is low, exceptionally this gutter may be shared. In this
case, as analog and communication signals are the most sensitive, these two types of signals should be wired
through the same gutter, whereas digital signals should be wired separately.
 When none of the above is possible, it is extremely important to prevent analog, digital and communication signals
to be wired in parallel. If there are some sections in which parallel wiring cannot be avoided, these should be as
short as possible.
 If the cables need to be crossed, theses crossings will be perpendicular to each other.
 In order to increase protection in the field inputs and outputs, terminal blocks are normally used to reinforce the
protection barrier. The power supply and protection terminal blocks of DI, DO, AI and AO are protection barriers.

3-5 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

The input wiring to these elements must always be independent from the output wiring of these barriers. They
should never share the gutter.

NOTICE
 The analog, digital and communication signals cables should never share the gutter with the cables of the
electronic power supply.
 Field input signal cables must never be laid using cables with filtered signals

3.9.2.2 Group 1(Analog Signals)


In the case of analog signals, always shielded cables should be used for the connection of the analog module to the
resistor and protection terminal block. The cable shield corresponding to the terminal block connection must be earthed
using a DIN-rail terminal.

Figure 3-11. Analog signal wiring.

3.9.2.3 Group 2 (Digital Signals)


The polarization power supply for DI and DO signals will be treated similarly to analog signals.

3.9.2.4 Group 3 (Communications)


The communication bus can be installed using 2-wire communication or 4-wire communication. In order to increase the
immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMC), the use of a shielded twisted pair is recommended.

WARNING
Particular care must be taken when connecting the shielding to make sure it is effective.

The shield connection depends on the equipotentiality between the connected devices:
 Guaranteed equipotentiality: Both devices are connected to an earth system, so that the same potential level is
guaranteed The shield must be connected at both ends.
 Limited equipotentiality: Both devices are connected to earth but not to the same earth system. To limit the
difference of potential that can be produced among them a cable with the appropriate cross-section will be installed
between the grounding of both. The shield must be connected at one end.
 No guaranteed equipotentiality: The connection to earth of both devices can’t be guaranteed (both devices must
be connected to an earth system). Copper mustn’t be used in this case.

DANGER
Connecting NOT equipotential devices could be dangerous for persons and equipment.

RS-485 Communications
For RS-485 the pairs are shielded individually or all together by a copper braid. The recommendations for the cable are:
 Resistance: < 100 Ω/km.
 Section: 0.22 mm2 (24 AWG)
 Characteristic impedance: 120 Ω.
 Maximum length: 1200 m.

Saitel DP Modules 3-6


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

RS-422 Communications
For RS-422 the pairs must be shielded individually. The recommendations for the cable are:
 Resistance: < 100 Ω/km.
 Section: 0.22 mm2 (24 AWG)
 Characteristic impedance: 100 Ω.
 Maximum length: 1200 m.

3.9.2.5 Group 4 (Power Supply)

Electronic Power Supply


The power supply for the electronic elements is the main barrier between the existing disturbances in the power supply
line and the system. That is the reason why, this power supply is equipped with some additional filters to assure a good
EMC behaviour of the system. It is extremely important to keep the filter’s input wiring independent from the output wiring.

Polarization.
The output of the polarizing power supplies follows the same route in the field as the digital signals in which they are used,
so the treatment is the same as for a field input/output signal. In some projects, supplementary filters are installed. In
these cases the wiring should be independent for the filter’s input and output.

Figure 3-12. Polarizing power supply output.

Auxiliary
The auxiliary power supply and its wirings do not have any galvanic connection to Saitel DP, so they should be sufficiently
separated from each other (independent gutters and layout) in order to prevent possible disturbances to reach the Saitel
DP wiring itself. In some projects, supplementary filters are installed. In these cases, the wiring should be independent for
the filter’s input and output.

Filtering
Generally, a filter will be included as a means to reinforce the protection of the power supply of the electronic elements.
The use of filters for the polarizing power supply is optional.
The polarizing power supply should never be combined with the power supply for electric elements. The protecting filter
cannot be shared in any case, as the polarizing power supply goes to field with the rest of inputs/outputs. As shown in the
figures, an incorrect connection of the polarization power supply reduces the effect of the protection barriers.

Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 3-13. Example of incorrect connections of the polarization power supply.

3.9.2.6 Group 5 (Earth Connection)

General Recommendations
 The cable section used should be have the appropriate size for each installation, and earthing braid should be used
whenever possible.
 The equipment or cabinet need to have a ground wire in a given point in order to guarantee a low impedance for the
rest of the elements. Horizontal copper bars, as well as vertical cooper bars (whenever possible) should be
assembled. All metal pieces of the equipment shall be connected to the protection earth. If metal cabinets are used,
the cabinet's walls can also be used to distribute the EMC earth.

Saitel DP Modules 3-8


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 3-14. General scheme of a CORRECT earth connection.

Earth Connection for Human Safety


 All metal elements need to be connected to the protection earth.
 All connections must be established through a dedicated cable and connected to the main earth connection bar of
the cabinet.
 A “cascading” earth connection of the elements is not allowed, as the earth disconnection of one element would
leave other elements within the cabinets without an earth connection. Figure 3-14 shows a correct connection, in
which all metal elements are connected through a dedicated cable to the earth-connection bar. In Figure 3-15 the
two earth connection cables are joined together to simplify the connections, resulting in an incorrect earth
connection.

Figure 3-15. General scheme of an INCORRECT earth connection.

3-9 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Earth Connection to avoid Electromagnetic Disturbances (EMC)


 The connections to metal parts (which are earth connected) must be rather short.
 Earth distribution will be done using the shortest cable lengths as possible. It is very relevant that EMC earth-
connection cables are as short as possible, therefore the entire cabinet metal surface will be used for the
connection.
 The electronic elements with metal coating, such as power supplies, must be earth connected in two points. Firstly,
they are connected to the protection earth using a cable with section enough, linking the earth terminal and the
earth-connection bar. Secondly, there is a second cable linking the earth terminal to the closest metal surface (as
shown in the previous figures through the power supply elements).
 It is recommended to use flexible earthing braid for mobile earth parts (such as the cabinet’s doors). The earthing
braid must be short but with a wide surface (the surface is an essential value in order to reduce high-frequency
disturbances).

5-1 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Indications Block
The indications block provides the following information:
 DIA: General diagnostics.
 RUN: Operation status.
 ST1 - ST2: One diagnostic LED for each block of 4 communication channels.
 TXx, RXx, RTSx and CTSx: Thirty-two indications (green color) for the channel signals. Four indications for each
channel to display the “Transmission” status (TX1-TX8), “Reception” (RX1-RX8), “Request to Send “(RTS1-RTS8)
and “Clear to Send” (CTS1-CTS8).
Apart from these indicators, there are four LEDs, one for each communication channel, as shown in Figure 5-2. They have
the following meanings:

Figure 5-2. SM_SER - Communication indicators.

 RX: Receiving data through the communication channel.


 TX: Transferring data through the communication channel.
 RTS and CTS: Indications of these two RS-232 protocol signals.

5.1.2 Internal Plate


The general aspect of the internal plate, with the door open, is shown in the following picture:

Figure 5-3. SM_SER – Internal plate.

5.1.3 Communication Protocols


The SM_SER module supports multiprotocol, which enables different protocols (physical level) to be associated to each
channel. It operates as a communication multiplexer, so all the processing is done by the CPU.

Termination Resistor (RS-485 y RS-422)


In a communication bus (RS-485 or RS-422) the devices installed on the ends of the bus must include a termination
resistor. Usually, this is the case of the SM_SER module where its communications ports exclude the possibility of
installing this resistance.

For each communications port that works as end of the bus, a terminal with termination resistors (120 to 150 Ω) for both
reception and transmission channels must be installed.

NOTICE
It is important to note that for each bus, two and only two devices must function as termination of the bus.

There are two recommended models for these auxiliary terminal (both by Phoenix Contact):

FL-PP-RJ45-SC VIP-3/PT/RJ45

For example, the following figure shows how you can use a 5-pin terminal for RS-422 and for RS-485 in full-duplex
communications:

Figure 5-4. SM_SER – Termination resistor in full-duplex communications.

For RS-485, using half-duplex communications, a 3-pin terminal must be used:

Figure 5-5. SM_SER – Termination resistor in half-duplex communications.

NOTICE
These figures should be understood as an example. You can use some other mechanism that provides you with the
same functionality.

To connect the SM_SER port with the auxiliary terminal, if the bus is RS-422 or full-duplex RS-485, the cable to be used is
shown in the following figure:

Figure 5-6. SM_SER – Cable for connection SM_SER-Auxiliary terminal in full-duplex communications.

If the communication is half-duplex RS-485 the cable is shown in the following figure:

Saitel DP Modules 5-4


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 5-7. SM_SER - Cable for connection SM_SER-Auxiliary terminal in half-duplex communications.

5.1.5 Configuration
To have the maximum multiplexer capability, it is possible to use a SM_BPX9 or SM_CHX9 as backplane, an external
power supply and one CPU. This configuration allows installing 8 SM_SER modules.

NOTICE
The SM_SER module only can be installed in the same backplane that the CPU module.

5.1.5.1 Identification
The configuration switches are located at the module’s rear panel (see Figure 4-3). The first four switches are used to
configure the multiplexer's address. The position allocation is shown in the following table:

4 3 2 1 Address
OFF OFF OFF ON 1
OFF OFF ON OFF 2
OFF OFF ON ON 3
OFF ON OFF OFF 4
OFF ON OFF ON 5
OFF ON ON OFF 6
OFF ON ON ON 7
ON OFF OFF OFF 8
Table 5-4. SM_SER - Addressing in serial multiplexer.

The speed is selected using switches 9 to 11, as detailed in paragraph 2.6 of this manual. The selected speed must be the
same as the setting for the CPU.
The rest of the switches should to be set to the OFF position.

5.1.5.2 Data Configuration


Easergy Builder is used to configure the functions of the communication channels and protocols. We can found all details
about this procedure in the manual “Configuration & Startup of Saitel DP”.

5.1.6 Diagnostic & Troubleshooting


In the front panel of the module, a indicator DIA and a indicator RUN are located. During the power up the module runs an
autocheck. If there isn`t any failure, the indicator DIA is turned off while the indicator RUN shows the configuration state. If
there is an internal failure, the indicator DIA is turned on.
Then, front indicators inform about the module status according to the following table:

The actions to be taken are:


1. If the module address does not match with any configured address, this module will not be able to exchange data with
the control unit. Check if the module address is correct (see paragraph 3.6 in this manual). The module may also be
switched off.
2. Check the wiring, if correct, contact the support service.

6.1 Saitel DP Power Supplies
Saitel DP includes power supplies modules which have been specifically designed to power the electronic components on
the backplanes and provide the required polarization voltage to the acquisition modules.
Saitel DP backplanes also support external power supplies. For more information, please refer to chapter “Backplane
Modules” of this manual.
There are two power supplies in the Saitel DP family:
 SM_PS
 SM_PS40

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, ELECTRIC ARC OR BURNS
 Only qualified personnel should install this equipment. Such work should be performed only after reading this
entire set of instructions and checking the technical characteristics of the device.
 NEVER work alone.
 Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside it. Consider all sources of power, including
the possibility of backfeeding.
 Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
 Start by connecting the device to the protective earth and to the functional earth.
 Screw tight all terminals, even those not in use.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The main function of the SM_PS module is to power the modules through the backplane. The SM_PS power supply
module has the same format as the rest of Saitel DP modules.
Optionally, the SM_PS module can provide one auxiliary power supply output to perform the polarizations which are
required for the operation of electronic components, and the field interfaces of the acquisition modules.
The following figure shows a schematic front view:

This module consists of:


 A power supply block.

and output (commands and instructions) functions.
These modules are:
 SM_DI32. 32-digital input module.
 SM_DO32T. 32-digital outputs to transistor module.
 SM_DO16R. 16-digital outputs to relay module.
 SM_AI16. 16-analog input module.

7.2 SM_DI32 Module. 32 Digital Inputs


7.2.1 General Description
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, ELECTRIC ARC OR BURNS
 Only qualified personnel should install this equipment. Such work should be performed only after reading this
entire set of instructions and checking the technical characteristics of the device.
 NEVER work alone.
 Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside it. Consider all sources of power, including
the possibility of backfeeding.
 Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
 Start by connecting the device to the protective earth and to the functional earth.
 Screw tight all terminals, even those not in use.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The SM_DI32 module includes 32 configurable and high-precision digital inputs. These signals can be configured as:
 Simple and double state indications.
 Slow pulse counters, activated by simple edge and double edge. A maximum of 25 inputs can be configured as slow
counters.
The figure below shows a schematic front view:

This module consists of:


 Two blocks with 16 digital inputs each.
 A control block.
 An indication block.

Figure 7-1. SM_DI32 - Front view.

7-1 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Digital Input
Each digital input block admits 16 signals performing the following functions:
 Input protection against electromagnetic disturbance.
 In the sampling procedure, 3 samples are taken at the same millisecond and the highest is noted.
 Automatic input test.
 External polarization. (See technical specifications table).
 Automatic polarization test.
 Two common contacts.
 Galvanic isolation through optocoupler.

Controller Block
The controller block supports the following functions:
 Advanced processing of digital inputs, including the management of simple or processed inputs with chronological
register and time stamping.
 Digital filtering.
The following parameters can be set for each input:
 Change memory time.

Indication
The SM_DI32 module integrates 36 indicators with the following functions.
 DIA: General diagnostics.
 RUN: Operation status.
 ST1 - ST2: Indicates whether there is a polarization fault in the specific signal block.
 DIn: Indicates whether input n is active or inactive.

7.2.2 Installation
There are two options to connect field signals to SM_DI32 module, option C1 (terminal connection), and option C2 (flat-
ribbon connection). Above, this manual describes the major differences between these two connection options.
This section provides information about the following issues:
 Configuration.
 Polarization.
 Commons.
 Connection diagrams.

7.2.2.1 Configuration
The configuration of the micro-switches, shown in chapter “Installation” of this manual, also applies to this module, except
for pins 8 and 12.

7.2.2.2 Field Connection


DANGER
Depending on the ordering options, there could be a hazard of electric if you come into contact with this connector.

The following figure shows the pin allocation of the connectors for option C1. The connector B1 is located at the top and
connector B2 at the bottom.

Saitel DP Modules 7-2

Where:
 DIxx: Digital input xx.
 COMn: Common terminal group n.
 +Vi: Polarization positive terminal.
 -Vi: Polarization negative terminal.

7.2.2.3 Polarization
The digital inputs need a polarization voltage for operation.
The 32 inputs of the SM_DI32 module are divided into two 16-input polarization blocks. Each block can be polarized
independently but both must have the same value.
The polarization of V1 and V2 voltages is supplied externally from the module. Even in case there are two power supplies
available, it is possible to use only one power supply by bridging the terminals, depending on the chosen connection
option, that is, C1 or C2.
 For option C1, the V1(+) terminal (B1) must be interconnected with the V2(+) terminal (B2) and the V1(-) terminal
(B1) with the V2(-) terminal (B2).
 For option C2, the V+ and V- terminals of the power supply must be interconnected with the V+ and V- terminals of
the terminal block.

NOTICE
Check operation of the jumpers S1 and S2 in the section 7.2.3.

7.2.2.4 Commons
Field receivers are powered with the positive of the polarization voltage (V1 and V2). The best way of doing this is through
the common outputs of the module's connectors.
 For option C1, these commons are present in COMx terminal of each connector (poles 9 and 18).
 For option C2, please, consult the electrical schematic for the used terminal block.

WARNING
The commons wiring should be independent for each of the blocks. This means that the commons of the different
blocks can’t be joined, and must be assigned to the correct block.

If the signal polarization is given correctly through the commons, the module may to do a comprehensive test of the input
signals. In order to enable the verification of digital inputs, the module must be powered up with the micro-switches 8 and
12 in the back of the module set to the OFF position
In those cases where the receivers cannot be polarized through their respective commons (recommended option), they
must be directly powered through the positive of the polarization voltage (V1 or V2). In this case the module must boot
with the switches 8 and 12 in the ON position

7.2.3 Terminal Blocks


DANGER
Depending on the ordering options, there could be a hazard of electric if you come into contact with the terminals of
these devices.

Some terminal blocks within the Saitel DP platform have been specifically designed to be used with the SM_DI32 module.
These terminal blocks can help to simplify wiring, use thicker cables for field signals and provide different connectors than
those offered by the option C1.
Terminal blocks are connected to the module using two 20-way flat-ribbon cables. The module is polarized through the
terminal block.
These terminal blocks have two jumpers S1 and S2 (one for each block of signals, see Figure 7-6 and Figure 7-10) which
allow the following:
 S1 and/or S2 to the left: This is the normal position of the jumpers. In this case the common of the corresponding
block is polarized by the voltage that reaches the module through the flat ribbon. The module controls the inputs
polarization through internal wiring.
 S1 and/or S2 to the right: The common of the corresponding block receives the supply voltage directly, so that the
module is not involved in the digital inputs polarization.

Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

NOTICE
When the SM_DI32 module is configured with microswitches 8 and 12 in the OFF position, if an external voltage is
supplied to the inputs of the modules (not provided by the COMn outputs), the module will detect an inconsistency
during the boot test. The module will be blocked and the indicators associated with each input and the LED DIA will
flash.

In the electrical diagrams of the terminal blocks which are described below (Figure 7-6 and Figure 7-10) we can see the

7.2.4 Diagnostics & Troubleshooting


The module integrates an input verification mechanism to detect hardware faults. The verification is performed when
powering the module or when resetting the field polarization after a polarization interruption.
This verification system monitors polarization voltages, the general status of the module and communications.

Saitel DP Modules 7-8


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

The following table specifies the module states indicated by the indicators in the front:
 RUN: Will flash every 0.5 s if the value of the allocated slave Profibus address is zero or higher than 96. It will also
flash if the module is not correctly setup by the CPU. If the above mentioned conditions do not occur and the
module switches to data exchange mode with the CPU through Profibus, the LED RUN will remain on. In any other
case, it will be off.
 DIA: Is switched on after a module’s reset, and switched off if the power-up process is successfully completed. This
LED will flash every 0,5 seconds if the ST1 or the ST2 indicators are active, and when the verification system
detects any faulty digital input.
 ST1: Is switched on when there is a polarization fault in the first block of 16 inputs (1-16).
 ST2: Is switched if there is a polarization fault in the second block of 16 inputs (17-32).
 Din: There is a LED associated to each digital input and it is switched on when the associated digital input is active.
This LED will flash every 0.5 s if a fault in the associated input is detected (by the self-verification mechanism).
The front indicators inform about the module status according to the following table:

DIA RUN STx DIx Description

Polarization and configuration OK. The module is in service. Digital input x is


deactivated.

The Profibus slave number assigned to the module is 0 or greater than 96.
The CPU may have detect a problem into the configuration, for example, the
(1) type of the module is different.

Module not configured or disconnected. If the module is connected, the


(2) address is between 1 and 96 but this address haven’t been configured.

Digital input x is active.

It lights briefly during startup. If it remains on, an error has been detected in
(3) the firmware or during the startup process.

Polarization failure in block x.


(4) (4)

The actions to be taken are:


1. Check the type of the module and the selected address with the rear switches.
2. Check that the module is properly inserted in the bus and that the assigned address is correct.
3. Contact the support service.
4. If the ST1 or ST2 indicator is flashing, the polarization voltage is lower than the minimum required. In this case, the
LED DIA is also flashing.
5. If any of the DIn indicator is flashing, it means the input self-verification system has detected a fault in the associated
input. In this case, the DIA LED is also flashing. This verification mechanism requires cabling to be performed as
indicated in section 7.2.2. If the wiring is correct, contact the support service.

7.3 SM_DO32T Module. 32 Digital Outputs (Transistor)


All information included in this manual about SM_DO32T refers to modules with P/N M580. For modules with P/N M521,
please refer to earlier versions of this manual.

7.3.1 General Description


The SM_DO32T module provides 32 passive digital configurable outputs to transistor. According to IEC-60870-3, a
passive output is defined when the polarization source is external to the control equipment.
These signals can be:
 Single: pulsed (fixed time) or latched.
 Double: pulsed (fixed time) or latched.
The following figure shows a schematic front view:

This module consists of:


 Two blocks with 16 digital outputs each.
 A controller block.
 An indication block.
 An advanced command safety mechanism.

Figure 7-17. SM_DO32T - Front view.

Digital Output
There are two independent acquisition blocks with a main connector each one for field connection. Each digital output
block admits 16 signals which perform the following functions:
 Permanent output checks.
 Command permission output.
 Overvoltage protection in output transistors.
 External polarization.
 Automatic polarizing test.
 Galvanic isolation through optocoupler.
 Input protection against electromagnetic disturbance.

Controller Block
The controller block supports the following functions:
 Hot-swap functionality.
 Parameterization and control of digital output blocks.
 Advanced processing of digital outputs.
 The indication block is updated with the module status information.
 Interface with the Profibus communication bus to connect with the CPU.

Saitel DP Modules 7-12


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Indications
The SM_DO32T module integrates 36 indicators with the following functions:
 DIA: General diagnostics.
 RUN: Operation status.
 ST1 - ST2: Indicates whether there is a polarization fault in the corresponding signal block.
 DOn: Indicates whether input n is active or inactive.
More information in section 0.

7.3.2 Installation
The SM_DO32T module can be connected to the field using two different procedures defined by option C1 (terminal
connection), and option C2 (flat-ribbon connection). Chapter “Installation” describes the major differences between these
two connection options.
This section provides information about the following issues:
 Polarization.
 Commons.
 Connection diagrams.

7.3.2.1 Connectors
The following figure shows the pin allocation of the connectors for C1. The B1 connector is located at the top and the B2
connector at the bottom.

Figure 7-18. SM_DO32T - Direct connection (option C1).

Where:
 DOxx: Digital output xx.
 COMn: Common terminal group n.
 +Vi: Voltage, positive terminal.
 -Vi: Voltage, negative terminal.
Paragraph 7.3.2.5 shows the connection of the polarization terminal for option C2.

7.3.2.2 Polarization
The digital outputs need an external polarization voltage for operation (see technical specifications table in section 7.3.4).
The 32 outputs of the SM_DO32T module are divided into two 16-output polarization blocks. Each block can be polarized
independently but both must have the same value. Both polarization are monitored in order to check if the voltage level is
into a valid range.

7-13 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

The polarization of the V1 and V2 voltages is supplied externally from the module. Even though two power supplies are
available, it is possible to use only one power supply by bridging the terminals, depending on the chosen connection
option, that is, C1 or C2 (see section 7.3.2.3).
 For option C1, the 19(+) terminal (B1) must be interconnected with the 19(+) terminal (B2) and the 20(-) terminal
(B1) with the 20(-) terminal (B2).
 For option C2, see Figure 7-20.

7.3.2.3 Commons (Command Permission Outputs)


The polarization voltage is only applied to the receivers when there is a command in progress. Each acquisition block has
the capability to control the application of the polarization to the receivers or not. This polarization output is called a
permission or common.
The SM_DO32T module monitors status of the permission. A voltage presence in the permission when it has not been
requested is considered a compromised situation for the security. In this case, all commands are rejected..
 For option C1, these commons are present in the terminals 9 and 18 of each connector.
 For option C2, see Figure 7-20.
The following sections show the configuration of the connection terminals.

7.3.2.4 Field Connection Schematics (option C1)


To make the diagram as clear as possible, it only displays the wiring of the first block of digital outputs. The second block
shall be wired using analog outputs through COM2.

Figure 7-19. SM_DO32T - Field connection schematics (option C1).

7.3.2.5 Field Connection Schematics (Option C2)


Some terminal blocks within the Saitel DP platform have been specifically designed to be used with the SM_DO32T
module (option C2). These terminal blocks include 16 relays with different breaking capacities.
The SM_DO32T module includes, apart from the two flat-ribbon cable connectors, a 4-wire terminal connector – MC 1.5/4-
STF-3.81 (Phoenix Contact) – used to connect the polarization inputs.
This connector has the following pin assignments:
 Pin 1: Common output of block 1 (signals 1 to 16).
 Pin 2: V1+ positive polarization input.
 Pin 3: Common output of block 2 (signals 17 to 32).
 Pin 4: V2+ positive polarization input.
The wiring is carried out the following way:
 Flat-ribbon connectors: Connected using flat-ribbon cables to the relay terminal blocks.

Saitel DP Modules 7-14


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

 Polarization. For each terminal block:


o The terminal block’s polarization negative input is connected to the negative output from the polarization
source.
o The terminal block’s polarization positive is connected to pin 1 (for connector 1) and pin 3 (for connector
2) of the SM_DO32T polarization connector.
o Pins 2 and 4 are to be connected to the positive output from the polarization source.

WARNING
In the terminal blocks, when jumper J1 is connected, the outputs would be polarized directly, bypassing the internal
safety mechanism to execute commands.
VERY IMPORTANT: The location of jumper J1 is marked in the electrical diagram for each terminal block and it must
be disconnected. It is recommended to cut the jumper’s pins to avoid mistakes.

Cabling schematic is depicted below:

These terminal blocks include 16 relays controlled by a SM_DO32T module as well as the polarization input. The input
signals are taken from a 20-way flat-ribbon DIN-41651 connector. These signals act on a set of 16 socket-mounted
switched relays. Each relay activation (low-level) is signalled by a green LED.
Each coil has an associated protection diode in disconnection. This diode is itself protected against polarity inversions by
additional diodes connected serially with each signal.
Outputs are given through 48 PCB terminal connectors admitting flexible wires with cross-sections up to 2.5 mm2.
For the external polarization, the device includes two PCB terminal connectors admitting wires with cross-sections up to
2.5 mm2 , a polarity inversion protection diode and a green LED to indicate voltage availability.
The 16 relays are placed in two separate rows to optimize the panel’s available surface.

The front indicators inform about the module status according to the following table:

DIA RUN STx DOx Description

Normal status. The module is ready to run commands to field.


NOTE: If in this situation commands aren’t executed, please consult action
number 6.

Incorrect address assigned to the module (0 or greater than 96).


If the address is correct, the type of the module is different to the configured
(1) for this address (and a module with correct type and this address isn’t
inserted on the bus).

Module not configured or disconnected. If the module is connected, the


(2) address is between 1 and 96 but this address haven’t been configured.

Digital output x activated.

It lights briefly during startup. If it remains on, an error has been detected in
(3) the firmware or during the startup process.

Polarization failure without active digital output.


(4)

Polarization error and at least one active digital output.


(4) (4)

In this case, 8 digital outputs are blinking because a short-circuit has been
detected between two blinking signals or one blinking signal and the mass
(5) (5) line. All commands in the module are blocked.

 Blinking  On  Off

The actions to be taken are:


1. Check the type of the module and the selected address with the rear switches.
2. Check that the module is properly inserted in the bus and that the assigned address is correct.
3. Contact the support service.
4. If any of the ST1 and ST2 LEDs is On, the polarization voltage is lower than the minimum required. In this case, if
there is an active command, the led DIA is also blinking.
5. If any of the DOn indicators is flashing, it means the input self-verification system has detected a fault in the
associated output. In this case, the DIA indicator is also blinking.
The section “7.3.2.3” provides information about the SM_DO32T cabling procedure in order to prevent self-verification
conflicts. If the wiring is correct, then you should contact the support service.

6. Check the following:


 Each terminal block must be connected in the correct order. The terminal block associated to the upper
connector and lower connector have to be according to the wiring on the polarization terminal. See Figure
7-20.

 Can’t exist other module with the same address on the bus, on the other hand, commands will be blocked.

7.4 SM_DO16R Module. 16 Digital Outputs (Relay)


7.4.1 General Description
The SM_DO16R module support up to 16 standalone outputs of the following types:
 Single: pulsed (fixed time) or preset (latched).
 Double: pulsed or preset.
The following figure shows a schematic front view:

This module consists of:


 Two blocks with 8 digital outputs each.
 A controller block.
 An indication block.
 An advanced command safety mechanism.

Figure 7-27. SM_DO16R - Front view.

Digital Output
Each digital output block admits 8 signals which perform the following functions:
 Permanent output verification.
 Independent outputs.
 External polarization.
 Number of operations (resistive load) >30*106.
 Number of operations (L/R = 80 ms, 24 V / 1.25 A) > 2*105.
 Automatic polarization test.
 Galvanic isolation through optocoupler.
 Input protection against electromagnetic disturbance.

Controller Block
The controller block supports the following functions:
 Parameterization and control of the digital output blocks.
 Advanced digital outputs processing.
 Updating the Indications block with the module status information.
 Interface with the Profibus communication bus to connect with the CPU.

Indications
The SM_DO16T module integrates 22 indicators with the following functions.
 DIA: General diagnostics.
 RUN: Operation status.
 ST1 - ST2: Indicates whether there is a polarization fault in the specific signal block. These LEDs work differently
depending on whether the outputs are configured in current or voltage.
Saitel DP Modules 7-22
Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

 DOn: Indicates whether the input n is active or inactive.


 COM: Indicates that an output is active in this block. There is two indicators, one per block of outputs.

7.4.2 Installation
The SM_DO16R can be connected to the field using two different procedures defined by option C1 (terminal connection),
and option C2 (flat-ribbon connection). The paragraph 3.9.1 in this manual describes the major differences between these
two connection options.
This section provides information about polarization, commons and cabling.

7.4.2.1 Field Connection


The following figure shows the pin allocation of the connectors for connection C1. The connector B1 is located at the top
and the connector B2 at the bottom.

Figure 7-28. SM_DO16R - Direct connection (option C1).

Where
 DOxx: Digital output xx.
 NC: Not connected.
 Mi. Command i
 +Vi: Polarization voltage positive terminal.
 -Vi: Polarization voltage negative terminal.

7.4.2.2 Polarization
The digital outputs need a polarization voltage for operation (see technical specifications table in the section 7.4.4).
The 16 outputs of the SM_DO16R module are divided into two polarization 8-output blocks. Each block can be polarized
independently but both must have the same value.
The polarization of V1 and V2 voltages is supplied externally from the module. Even though two power supplies are
available, it is possible to use only one power supply by bridging the terminals, depending on the chosen connection
option, that is, C1 or C2.
 For the option C1, the B1/19(+) terminal must be interconnected with the B2/19(+) terminal and the B1/20(-) terminal
with the B2/20(-) terminal.
 For option C2, the V+ and V- terminals of power supply must be interconnected with the V+ and V- terminals of the
terminal block.

7.4.2.3 Commons (Command Permission Outputs)


In the SM_DO16R module the outputs to field are unpowered NO (“normally open”) contacts.
Apart from the sixteen output contacts, the option C1 has two additional outputs available in the module. These two
outputs are defined as Command 1 and Command 2, which correspond to a 8-output block respectively; internally, these
outputs are connected to the positive of each polarization voltage through the contact of a command relay. These relays
are activated automatically, providing there is an active output.
7-23 Saitel DP Modules
Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Therefore, the field receivers can be powered with polarization voltage (V1 and V2) through the command outputs.
The connectors of Command 1 and Command 2 correspond to the B1-18 and B2-18 terminals, respectively. The option
C2 does not integrate the Command 1 and Command 2 outputs.

7.4.2.5 Field Connection Schematics (option C2)

Figure 7-30. SM_DO16R - Field connection schematics (option C2).

7.4.3 Terminal blocks


Some terminal blocks within the Saitel DP platform have been specifically designed to be used with the SM_DO16R
module. These terminal blocks can help to simplify wiring, use thicker cables for field signals and provide different
connectors than those offered by the option C1.
Terminal blocks are connected to the module using one 40-way flat-ribbon cable – divided in two 20-way cables to
connect the module. The module is polarized through the terminal block.

It lights briefly during startup. If it remains on, an error has been detected in
(3) the firmware or during the startup process.

Polarization failure without active digital output.


(4)

Polarization error and at least one active digital output.


(4) (4)

In this case, 8 digital outputs are blinking because a short-circuit has been
detected between two blinking signals or one blinking signal and the mass
(5) (5) line. All commands in the module are blocked.

 Blinking  On  Off

The actions to be taken are:


1. Check the type of the module and the selected address (rear switches).
2. Check that the module is properly inserted in the bus and that the assigned address is correct.
3. Contact the support service.
4. If any of the ST1 and ST2 LEDs is On, the polarization voltage is lower than the minimum required. In this case, if
there is an active command, the led DIA is also blinking.
5. If any of the DOn indicators is flashing, it means the input self-verification system has detected a fault in the
associated output. In this case, the DIA indicator is also blinking.
The section “7.3.2.3” provides information about the SM_DO32T cabling procedure in order to prevent self-verification
conflicts. If the wiring is correct, then you should contact the support service.

Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Controller Block
The following parameters can be configured separately for each input:
 Input range.
 Measurement scaling.
 Network filtering interval.
With respect to the inputs, the following parameters can also be configured in the real-time database:
 Scaling at engineering units.
 Up to 4 out-of-range alarms.
 Change threshold and event generation.
The configurable features related to the outputs are:
 Scaling at engineering units.
 Maintenance if communication fails.
 Reset value.

Indications
The SM_AI8AO4 module integrates 12 indicators with the following functions.
 DIA: General diagnostics.
 RUN: Operation status.
 ST1 - ST2: Indicates whether there is a hardware fault in the specific block.
 Break: Break in analog output current loop.
 PFailn: D/A converter fault in the analog outputs.

7.6.2 Installation
This section provides information about the following issues:
 Analog output validation.
 Connection diagrams.

7.6.2.1 Field Connection


The SM_AI8AO4 module can be connected to the field using two different procedures defined by option C1 (terminal
connection), and option C2 (flat-ribbon connection).
The following figure shows the pin allocation of the connectors for C1 option. The connector B1 is located at the top and
the connector B2 at the bottom.

Figure 7-52. SM_AI8A04 - Direct connection (option C1).

7-39 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Where:
 AI0x: Analog input x.
 AOx: Analog output x.
 AOxValid: Shows the validity of the assigned value.
 AOxShield: Terminal for shield connection.
 NC: Not connected.
The analog inputs of the SM_AI8AO4 module are differential, so there are no common terminals. The connector B1 has 8
pairs of signals corresponding to the 8 analog inputs. The analog outputs are differential, and they have two validation and
an "A0xShield" signals associated to connect the cable’s shield.

7.6.2.2 Analog Output Validation


Each analog output has a signal which is used to indicate the validity of the allocated output value. Such signal
(AOxValid1 and AOxValid2) is provided by a contact of a solid state relay supporting alternating and direct voltages (320
VMAX and 150 mA).
Those relays will be active (closed contacts) provided the corresponding analog output board and channel have been set
properly. If the module stops communicating with the CPU or the analog output channel has a Break or PFail diagnostic,
then the solid state relay will be deactivated.

Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Chapter 8. Backplane Modules


8.1 General Information
All Saitel DP modules (power supply, CPU, communications, I/O acquisition) are installed into a backplane. These
backplanes work as an electromechanical device which provides the following functions:
 Mechanical function. Allow insertion and removal of the modules into the system and its physical support.
The backplane provides the mechanical integration in the location or enclosure that it is located.
 Electrical function. It allows and assures the distribution of:
o The power supply to the modules need.
o The internal bus for the modules installed in the backplane.
 Expansion. Allow electrical connection (at data level) between different backplanes to increase the number
of modules integrated into the system.
From revision D0, the backplane allows the following functions:
 Supervision: Monitoring and control of the power supply to the modules and signaling Profibus
communication lines between modules.
 Protection: Protection against permanent damages for overload from external power supplies.
Each Saitel DP subsystem is made up by:
 A main "backplane" where the CPU is installed. If you have redundant CPUs, both modules could be
installed into the same backplane or you could install each CPU into a different backplane.

 Depending on the needs, the system will have one or more acquisition backplanes.
A main backplane and as many expansion backplanes as required.
The main backplane supports one or two control units, acquisition modules, and SM_SER communication modules, if
necessary.
Acquisition backplanes are used when the available positions in the main backplane are occupied, or when implementing
a distributed system of I/O modules. These secondary backplanes do not include any control units or communication
modules.
There are two basic backplane models. The only difference between the two models is the mechanical solution used.
 SM_BPX, panel mounted.
 SM_CHX, chassis mounted.

Figure 8-1. SM_BPX. Figure 8-2. SM_CHX

Both models are based on the same board called ST_BPX4S or ST_BPX9S depending on the ordering options (number
of slots).

NOTICE
Revisions previous to D0 of SM_CHX and SM_BPX mount the board ST_CHBPx. This board could not have some
functionality detailed below.

8-1 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

8.1.1 Electrical Features


Both backplane models have the same electrical features:
 4 or 9 slots to connect the Saitel DP modules.
 High-speed internal bus for the communication between the CPU and the communication modules SM_SER.
 High-speed internal bus for the communication between the CPU modules (in redundant CPU configurations).
 High-speed internal bus (Profibus) for the communication between the acquisition modules and the CPU.
 Profibus (TTL) - Profibus (RS-485) conversion for backplane interconnection. See Figure 2-6.
 Double power-supply bus (redundant). Both can be used in two way (mutually exclusive):
o Using Saitel DP power supplies (SM_PS or SM_PS40), in simple or redundant configuration.
o Using external power supplies, in simple or redundant configuration.

WARNING
Don't use the modules SM_PS40 or SM_PS together with external power sources. Doing so may cause permanent
damage to the equipment.

8.2 SM_BPXx Model


In this model, the electronic board is installed in a metal enclosure where the electronic is hidden. Only the necessary
elements for the configuration are accessible. There are two models:
 SM_BPX4, with 4 slots.

 SM_BPX9 with 9 slots.


The difference is the number of modules that it can mount. The other features are identical.
The following figure shows an example of this type of backplane:

Figure 8-3. SM_BPX9 – Front view.

8.2.1 Mechanical Features


The modules can be mounted in a panel or flat wall made of any material capable of supporting the total weight of the
assembly. The module’s weight and connection cables must be taken into account.
If several backplanes need to be mounted in a column structure, you must leave a minimum space (57 mm) between the
lower and upper fixing flanges of the backplanes. Never cover the modules’ ventilation grilles with feed-through, cable
trays or any other assembly elements.
The necessary space around the backplane must be respected in order to allow assembly and disassembly of the
modules. See the following figure:

The SM_BPX module has two fixing flanges located at the upper and lower parts respectively. There are several drill holes
of 4 mm in diameter for wall or panel fixing. The number and location of the drill holes depending on the model, 6 in the
SM_BPX4 and 8 in the SM_BPX9.

8.3 SM_CHX Model


8.3.1 General Features
The SM_CHX model uses the same electronic board that SM_BPX, but it is mounted using a standard 19’’-chassis. There
are two models:
 SM_CHX4, with 4 slots.

 SM_CHX9 with 9 slots.


The difference is the number of modules that it can mount. The other features are identical.

8.3.2 Mechanical Features


Both, SM_CHX9 and SM_CHX4 backplane modules are designed to be fixed on a metallic panel 19’’ wide, 6 U high and
180 mm deep. This chassis provides the mechanic support to fix all the modules. The SM_CHX4 has a format that allows
to mount two boards in the same chassis (one next to the other).
This option is the most suitable in solutions which give access to the rear part of the electronic components.
For SM_CHX, the power connector, bus expansion connectors and configuration switches are located on the back side of
the card to be accessible from the back of the chassis.
The necessary space around the backplane must be respected in order to allow assembly and disassembly of the
modules. See the following figure:

Figure 8-8. Necessary space for assembly and disassembly the modules into a chassis.

It is necessary to distinguish between the component side or front and soldering side or rear, as it has connectors on both
sides.

 4: SENSE input. It is available in case the system requires to connect a “SENSE input” from an external power
supply.

8.3.3 SM_CHX Power Supply


There are two power supply options for the modules, through the backplane:
 Using Saitel DP power supply (SM_PS or SM_PS40).
 External power supply through.

8-7 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

8.3.3.1 Connectors for External Power Supply


In case of backplane SM_CHX, we have to distinguish between models with 4 positions and models with 9 positions,
because the model with 9 positions has the connectors J14 and J15 for primary and secondary power supply and the
models with 4 positions only have connector J15.
To check the external power supply, there are terminals in the rear face of the board which allows accessing the following
signals:
 VS1+, VS2+ and VS-: (VSENSE) Feedback voltage output supplied to the power supply in order to be auto-
adjusted. These signals correspond to connector J13.
PFAIL1, PFAIL2: signals that indicate to the CPU modules, that there is a failure in the power supply, they are located in
connector J12. It is necessary that the signal level is TTL open collector. The power supply failure is indicated with a low
level in input PFAILx
There is a terminal in the rear face of the board (ST_SPS_PRIM) in order to power the SM_CHX using an external power
supply. It has the following pinout:

Signal Description
+5 V1 Primary power supply.
GND Ground connection.
+5 V2 Secondary power supply.
GND Ground connection.

In the back face, there is a SENSE input too, that could be wired to the external power supply if it’s required:

Signal Description
VS - Negative sense (primary power supply)
VS1 + Positive sense (primary power supply)
VS - Negative sense (secondary power supply)
VS2 + Positive sense (secondary power supply)

NOTICE
Other connectors may be installed in the back of the board, such as EARTH, PFail and ST_SPS_SEC. These mustn't
be wired. They are only included for compatibility with previous versions of the module.

8.4 Profibus Configuration


For each backplane, the user must configure:
 Profibus-DP redundancy or not.

 Activation of the RS-485 termination resistors or not.


About the redundancy of Profibus-DP; the jumper used to configure the internal bus as redundant or nor is identified with
number 2 in Figure 8-7 (SM_BPX) and Figure 8-9 (SM_CHX). If the jumper is mounted, the internal bus is redundant.

NOTICE
If you do not use the configuration of redundant Profibus-DP, you must remove the jumper, as
indicated in the following image.

Apart from the expansion connectors, there are several micro-switches in the backplane front panel to set the RS-485
termination resistors.
The RS-485 standard defines a asynchronous serial communication with differential levels, which requires termination
resistors to be included in the bus ends. When interconnecting the backplanes, it is necessary to include the termination
resistors in the first and the last backplane of the bus. In order to connect the termination resistors, the micro-switches
next to the expansion connectors must be set to on. Where PF1 is associated with Profibus 1, PF2 with Profibus 2 and
SYN with the synchronization bus.

Figure 8-11. Backplane microswitches.

8.5 Backplane Expansion


The first point to consider is whether the PPS(Pulse Per Second signal) is required or not, and if the communications are
simple or redundant. The SM_BPX and SM_CHX include electronic for expansion of the three buses, including the
terminating resistors.

Once buses to expand are known, please, note that although there are two connectors for expansion (identified with the
number 3 in Figure 8-7 and Figure 8-10) from the electrical point of view both are the same.

Figure 8-12. Connectors for expansion

The backplanes can be expanded by interconnecting the channels GND, SYN and Profibus of the different backplanes
(PF1 and PF2).

Saitel DP Modules 8-10


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

WARNING
Pin 6 (+5V) only should be connected in order to power a BP2F (bus expansion through fiber optic).

In the backplane the female connector is installed and the male connector will be installed in the cable used for the
expansion. It is recommended to use a metallic and shielded connector with an output angle for the cable of 180º
(reference: FCK1GA):

Figure 8-13. Expansion cable connector.

Each bus in use (PF1, PF2, SYN) requires a shielded twisted-pair connection cable. There are two types of cables
depending on the distance between the backplanes (according to EIA RS-485):
 Cable type A:
o Impedance: 135 - 165 Ω (f = 3 to 20 MHz).
o Capacity < 30 pF/m.
o Resistance < 110 Ω/km
o Conductor area ≥ 0.34 mm2 (22 AWG).
 Cable type B:
o Impedance: 100 - 130 Ω (f <100 kHz).
o Capacity < 60 pF/m.
o Conductor area ≥ 0,22 mm2 (24 AWG).
The following table shows the maximum length of cable type A and cable type B for the different transmission speeds:

Rate (kbit/s) 9.6 19.2 93.75 187.5 500 1500

Cable A length (m) 1200 1200 1200 1000 400 200

Cable B length (m) 1200 1200 1200 600 200 70

Table 8-2. Cable length for the different transmission speeds.

The cable’s shield must be connected to the protection earth using the fixing screws of the connector.
If the expansion needs to be installed outside the cabinet a BP2F is recommended (see TE-00-0000-ARQ-F850, Auxiliary
Modules Manual). Otherwise, a cable with mechanical protection must be used.
An example of a cable can be: Belden 9841.
The following section details how to wire the bus expansion depending on the system needs. For each backplane, the
position of the switches is shown.

8.5.1 Expansion using RS-485 (Copper)


NOTICE
If the expansion needs to be installed outside the cabinet a BP2F is recommended (see “Auxiliary Modules Manual”).
Otherwise, a cable with mechanical protection must be used.

The following scenarios are described:


 One main backplane (with single or dual CPU) and a single cable for PF1, PF2 and SYN.
 One main backplane (with single or dual CPU), a cable for PF2 and another cable for PF1 and SYN.
 Two main backplanes, a cable for PF2 and another cable for PF1 and SYN.

Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

A Main Backplane / A Single Cable for PF1, PF2 and SYN


There is a main backplane and other acquisition backplanes. Regarding bus redundancy, although there is a double bus,
in this case both use the same cable for the expansion.

Figure 8-14. Backplane expansion (using copper) – A main backplane / A single expansion cable

A Main Backplane / A Cable for PF1 and SYN / A Cable for PF2
If the system requires a redundant cable (a cable for each profibus), the configuration is shown in the following figure:

Figure 8-15. Backplane expansion (using copper) – A main backplane / A cable for each profibus

NOTICE
It is important to consider that the synchronization bus (SYN) only can be expanded using one cable. You could expand
it using the PF1 or PF2 cable, but only one of them. Otherwise the system could have problems with the
synchronization in the acquisition backplanes.

Two Main Backplanes / A Cable for PF1 and SYN / A Cable for PF2
If you have two main backplanes but you don’t need to use a double wiring, the backplane expansion is shown in Figure
8-14, where the second main backplane is considered as an acquisition backplane. These backplanes, all switches must
be set to OFF.
If you need a cable for each profibus, see the following figure:

8.6 Backplanes Power Supply


Each backplane can be powered using two ways:
 By using Saitel DP power supplies (SM_PS or SM_PS40).
 By using external power supplies.
Whatever the origin of the power, both modules, SM_BPX and SM_CHX, have two redundant power buses without a
defined priority and without switching. The modules are powered indistinctly by both buses, maintaining its functionality
without a reset (at least one of the power buses has to be available).

WARNING
Maximum current for each power bus is 7 A (equivalent to 38 W of power). Please, have in account that the system
must be dimensioned for that only one bus have to support all consumption (Maximum consumption for a backplane is
38W).

NOTICE
Each backplane is powered independently either with Saitel DP modules or with external power supplies. The RS-485
expansion connector does NOT expand the power supply voltage to the next backplane.

8.6.1 Saitel DP Power Supplies


These power supply module is installed in slot 1 in simple configuration and in slots 1 and 2 in redundant power
configuration.

WARNING
Never install a PS module in a slot different of 1 or 2.

8.6.2 Recommendations for External Powering


WARNING
The voltage input for the backplane is 5.4 ± 0.2 VDC. The external voltage input isn't protected against overvoltage, so
an incorrect wiring or an incorrect adjustment of the supply voltage could damage the electronics.
On a voltage drop, the backplane is shutdown when the voltage level falls to 5.0 VDC, and on a power surge, the
backplane is shutdown when the voltage level comes to 5.8 VDC.

The best way to power the backplanes is depending on both the number of available power supplies as the distance from
these power supplies up to the backplanes.
The total power of the power supplies used must be the equal or greater than the sum of the powers required for all
backplanes powered more a reserved margin (usually from 25% to 50% of the total power).

A Power Supply for Each Backplane


The distance between each power supply and the backplane can’t be greater than 0.75 m. :

Figure 8-20. Backplane powered using two independent and redundant power supplies.

8-15 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

A Power Supply for Several Backplanes


In this case a distribution terminal should be installed. The distance (length of the cable) between this terminal and the
backplanes should be 0.75 m maximum:

Figure 8-21. Several backplanes powered by a power supply

WARNING
The powering of several backplanes mustn't be wired cascade, i.e., the power of the first backplane mustn't be
extended to the others. For each backplane, the power is received directly the source, using a star configuration, as
shown in the previous figures.

8.7 Supervision
INFORMACIÓN
Supervision is only available for revision D0 and later of the modules SM_BPX and SM_CHX.

By the light indicators above the expansion connectors (see Figure 8-7) the user can monitor the activity of the Profibus
communications and the status of the power.

Each led is identified as follow:

8.7.2 Supervision of the Power


Revision D0 and later of the backplane include a supervisor of the power. It has three main functions:
 Prevent the modules are powered with incorrect voltages.
 Indication of the “quality” of the power supplied by the backplane to the modules.
 Limit the number of startup when a problem is detected about the consumption.
The power status is displayed by the leds OV1/OV2 and UV1/UV2 (see Figure 8-22). The following table shows the status
of these indicators and the meaning:

Chapter 10. I/O Information


Processing
10.1 Introduction
Saitel DP acquisition modules preprocess input signals and adjust field signals. Previous sections have described how
modules actuate on its inputs/outputs. Below, you will find a detailed explanation of the information preprocessing.

10.1.1 Digital Input Acquisition


10.1.1.1 Digital filtering
Digital filtering allows eliminating the changes made to the inputs if these changes are not retained for a minimum amount
of time “Filtering Time” or TF.
The filtering response from a digital input is shown in the following figures:

Figure 10-1. Digital filtering in digital inputs.

10.1.1.2 Change memory


The memory for changes can store the changes made to the inputs for predefined period “Memory Time” or TM.
The change memory response from a digital input is shown in the following figure:

10-1 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 10-2. Change memory in digital inputs.

NOTICE
Does not apply in counter mode.

10.1.1.3 Chronological record


This feature is applicable to the inputs configured as indications or numeric values. The inputs configured with
chronological record generate an input with time marking when a status change is made to the inputs.

10.1.1.4 Input Functional Allocation


With respect to the functional allocation of digital inputs, the available types of signals are:
 Simple indication.
 Double indication.

Simple Indication
It takes a module's input and represents a boolean value (YES/N0). The next figure shows its processing:

Figure 10-3. Simple indication.

The diagram shows that inversion, digital filtering, change memory, and chronological treatments are allocated to the
input.
Hardware diagnostics are available, which indicates whether the value is invalid when detecting a fault after a module’s
internal test.

Double Indication (IDOB)


It takes two module's inputs and represents a status with four possible values. The next figure shows its processing:

Saitel DP Modules 10-2


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 10-4. Double indication.

The diagram shows that inversion, digital filtering, change memory, and chronological treatments are allocated to the
inputs.
The state validation is controlled by the “Settling Time” or TS. It is defined as the time delay required after a change to
accept a new signal status. The two inputs need to be fixed for that period. Otherwise, the time counter will resume
operation.
Processed inputs take one or more inputs of the module and represent a slow counter type analog value.

Slow Counter (ICNT)


The processed inputs take one or more inputs in the module and represent an analog value (slow counter). It is used to
acquire counting pulses from a an external generator. The next figure shows its processing:

Figure 10-5. Slow counter.

The diagram shows that inversion is associated to the inputs. It also shows that the counter supports a physical input. This
input accumulates the values from the module’s slow counter. This input always exists.
Inversion Memory Filter and Simple/Double Edge are configurable.
The capture performed by the CPU can be set using the “Filter Time” or TF. This time indicates the writing period of the
counter's value into the data tables which are accessible for the CPU.

10.1.2 Digital Output Actuation


10.1.2.1 Actuation Timing
Actuation timing defines how long the actuation is run “Actuation Time” or ExeTime.
An output signal can also be set to be held on a high level, until a zero command is executed.

10.1.2.2 Digital Output Functional Allocation


The module’s outputs can have different allocated functionalities, so that they represent the different types of control:
 Simple commands.
 Double commands.

10-3 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Simple command (SIM)


A single output is used to run the command:
 Running command -> Activated output.
 Completed command -> Deactivated output.

Double command (DOB).


Two outputs are used to run the command:
 Deactivation command -> Output 1 “ON”, Output 2 “OFF”.
 Activation command -> Output 1 “OFF”, Output 2 “ON”.
 Two outputs can never be activated simultaneously.

10.1.3 Analog Input Acquisition


Scaling at Engineering Units and Out of Range Detection
It is an input-specific feature. It is possible to perform a lineal conversion of the measurement to engineering units. (i.e. kV,
Amperes, Degree, Flow, etc.). Conversion and two scaling limits can be enabled:
 Scaling (enable or not).
 Lower Engineering Limit: It is an integer value which expresses in engineering units the lowest value of the
signal's range in the converter.
 Upper Engineering Limit: It is an integer value which expresses in engineering units the highest value of the
signal's range in the converter.
The next figure shows the possible configuration of this feature:

Figure 10-6. Scaling at engineering units.

Engineering values can range:


 Bipolar inputs  -32000 /+32000.
 Unipolar inputs  0 /+64000.
The decimal point position is implicitly defined when designing the system.

Chapter 11. Redundant


Configurations in Saitel DP
11.1 Introduction
Due to the wide range of redundant configurations supported by Baseline Software Platform and Saitel DP, it is necessary
to make a detailed analysis in order to determine the concepts applicable to functionalities and to set a common
terminology.

It should be highlighted that redundancy always intends to increase the level of reliability and availability of the critical
elements within a control system.

Redundant configurations are defined to strengthen the following parts of the control system:

 Power supply: This is the first doubled element in the system, since a power supply failure would mean a total
failure of the system. Power supply units are also devices which transfer powers, sometimes extremely high and
could cause a significant wear of the components. All Saitel P modules and most auxiliary elements support a
redundant power supply.
 CPU: The SM_CPU866 and SM_CPU866e modules allow defining configurations with CPU redundancy with a
high level of flexibility meeting the specific requirements of any system.
 Acquisition bus: The acquisition bus allows the CPU to acquire data from acquisition modules. Saitel DP
backplanes include a double acquisition bus. The CPU module together with the acquisition modules implement
the functions to make an efficient use of these redundant communications.
 Communication channels: Several master and slave communication protocols support a double communication
channel, which are switched with certain rules according to the protocol.
 System’s duality: All the system’s components are doubled under this configuration. This is the typical
configuration of data hubs and communication front-ends.
Different types of redundancy can be combined in order to make the system as much robust as possible with doubled
elements.

11.2 Power Supply Redundancy


Power supply redundancy consist of the use of multiple power supply units for the same backplane. Thus, the power
supply reliability is much improved.
The SM_BPX and SM_CHX backplane have two different power supply options available:
 Power supply using SM_PS or SM_PS40 units
 Power supply using external power supply units.
In both cases, it is possible to have a simple or redundant configuration.

11.2.1 Power Supply Redundancy in SM_BPX


In the redundant configuration, the first PS module is connected to the slot 1 in the backplane and the second PS module
is connected to the slot 2 in the backplane.

11-1 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 11-1 SM_BPX backplane with two Saitel DP PS modules

If an external power supply module is used to power the backplane, it is connected to the lateral connector (see connector
5 in Figure 8-7). The connector pinout is shown in paragraph 8.2.2.1.
The combination of an external power supply unit and a Saitel DP PS module is possible providing they both are not the
primary or secondary power supplies.

WARNING
If two power supplies are connected as primary or secondary power supplies, the electronic components may be
damaged.

100% of the power is provided by one of the two power supply units, regardless if Saitel DP PS, an external power supply
or a combination of the two options is used. Therefore, there are four possible redundant configurations:

For any of the configurations described above, the polarization redundancy is achieves using the adequate wiring..

11.2.2 Power Supply Redundancy in SM_CHX


The SM_CHX backplane has the same power supply options as the SM_BPX backplane, so the redundancy configuration
is similar.
The difference is that the connectors for external power sources are located at the back of the circuit board rather than on
the side (see item 3 in Figure 8-10). The pinout of this connector is detailed in section 8.3.3.1 of this manual.
There are four possible redundant configurations:

11.3 CPU Redundancy


The SM_CPU866 and SM_CPU866e modules, together with the backplanes (SM_BPX and SM_CHX), support the
definition of different redundancy configurations of the CPU.
The redundancy types are defined by:
 Physical site: The two CPU are installed consecutively in the same backplane or in different backplanes.
 Switching mechanism: The switching can be arbitrated by the MSAC module or managed by the CPU modules
themselves.
 Switching type: Both "cold" and "hot" switching are possible. In the first case, the database of the STANDBY
device is not updated with the ONLINE device’s database, but it only updates when switching is triggered. In the
second case, the STANDBY device is constantly updating the database with the ONLINE device.
 IP address allocation: Baseline Software Platform allows configuring a number of IP addresses associated to the
ONLINE CPU. These addresses are assigned dynamically to allow CPU modules in redundant systems to inter-
communicate and use the same IP address after switching.
The different options are described below.

11.3.1 CPU Physical Site


11.3.1.1 Two CPU Modules in the Same Backplane
This is the simplest redundant configuration as it makes the best use as possible of the features of the backplanes
(SM_BPX and SM_CHX).

It is the only configuration which allows the two CPU modules to share the SM_SER communication modules. It also
allows (alike in other configurations) acquisition modules to be shared.

NOTICE
The two CPU modules must be installed in consecutive slots in the backplane.

If there are two CPU modules in the same backplane, the switching mechanism can be controlled by the MSAC module or
be managed by the two CPU. In this case, Both CPU can intercommunicate through a dedicated high-speed channel
included in the backplanes or through a serial or Ethernet link.

Its main disadvantage is that a failure in the CPUs’ backplane, caused by any of the modules, affects the two CPU
similarly. Therefore, there are simple faults which might make the two CPU fail.

Figure 11-4 Two CPU modules in the same backplane

11-5 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

11.3.1.2 Two CPU Modules in Different Backplanes


This configuration requires an additional backplane; moreover, the number of SM_SER communication modules, which
are doubled, cannot communicate with the CPU if they are nor in the same backplane.

The switching mechanism is controlled by the MSAC module or managed directly by the two CPU modules. In this case,
both CPU can intercommunicate through a serial or Ethernet link.

This configuration prevents a simple failure in the backplane from affecting the system completely.

NOTICE
No other acquisition module can be installed in the backplanes in which the CPU modules are located, since the CPU
will not be able to access the acquisition data of the modules located in the backplane of the other CPU.

Figure 11-5. Two CPUs in different backplanes

11.3.2 Switching Mechanisms


11.3.2.1 MSAC Module
MSAC (Signaling, Arbitration and Switching Module) can, in redundant CPU configurations, perform the following
functions:
 Using a powerful "hardware" protocol, it detects if a CPU is operational or in failure. It arbitrates which of the two
CPU is ONLINE or STANDBY.
 If a GPS is used for synchronization, the synchronization signal is broadcasted to the two CPU.
 It links each CPU to a relay output, which is activated if the device is operational (ONLINE or STANDBY) and
deactivated if a FAIL status is detected. This relay output can interrupt the output polarization, signaling, etc.
The MSAC module includes a set of LEDs to indicate the state of each CPU.

Saitel DP Modules 11-6


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 11-6. Switching using the MSAC module

The CPU (A or B) reports its status to the MSAC. If it is ONLINE, it generates a pulse train, which is not generated if it is
FAIL. The MSAC reports the other CPU whether it should switch to ONLINE or not, and if the other CPU is in a FAIL
status.

11.3.2.2 RCAP Protocol


If there is no MSAC module installed, the switching van be performed through the RCAP (Redundancy Control
Asymmetric Protocol) protocol.

In this case, there is a communication channel, which can also be redundant, between the CPU modules. Using this
channel, the CPU modules manage the switching through a Schneider Electric proprietary protocol (RCAP). The
communication channels include:
 Ethernet. Communications are established using an IP address through an Ethernet port.
 Serial. The CPU modules communicate using a serial port in the SM_CPU866 module.
 Communication through the backplane (only available when the two CPU are installed in the same backplane).
The backplane incorporates a dedicated serial channel so that the CPU modules can communicate.
This switching mechanism is specially recommended when the two control modules are installed in the same backplane or
when they are installed at a short distance.

11.3.3 Switching Mode


There is two types of switching: “Cold Data” and “Hot Data”.

11.3.3.1 Cold Data


Under this mode, there is no communication between the two CPU, and when the switching is performed, the new
ONLINE CPU initializes with a database with default values.

11-7 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 11-7. Switching status under Cold Data mode

There are three status defined for each CPU:


 STANDBY: Under this status, the CPU is operational, the defined software modules (coreDb, synchronization,
web server,...) in AutoLoad.cfg, the supervision module and ISaGRAF are loaded. The other BinControllers are
not executed. The CPU does not access to the acquisition bus, the SM_SER communication bus or generate the
PPS. The database is not updated.
 ONLINE: Under this mode, the CPU is operational and all applications are executing. The protocol BinControllers
are executed. The communication is activated through the acquisition bus and SM_SER communication bus; the
PPS is generated.
After the switching, communications and acquisition are resumed, and all parameters use default values.
 FAIL: Under this status, the CPU is not operational.
By adding a second CPU to a control system, this configuration has the advantage of improving availability considerably
so that maintenance, database modifications and testing tasks can be carried out over the STANDBY CPU, not
comprising the system’s performance.

11.3.3.2 Hot Data


Under Hot Data mode, there is a high-speed communication channel (Ethernet or backplane) between the two CPU,
which is used to update the STANDBY CPU’s database with the ONLINE CPU’s database. When a switching is
performed, the new ONLINE CPU starts with updated values. In this operation mode, database IDs must be the identical.

The update is performed by exception; it only sends the values of the points which have changed, except for the first time
when the entire database is updated.

The information which is shared by the two CPU is exclusively related to coreDb points; internal information about the
BinControllers is not shared. This is the reason why, some information may be lost after a switching. Examples of this type
of information are events and commands.

The use of a BinController of the laq type which uses a Profibus protocol sending the status of the outputs constantly
assures that the values sent as outputs will match the values corresponding to the actuations performed on the points
associated in coreDb.

For BinControllers using other protocols (101,104, DNP) which send commands by exception, no command is sent after a
switching.

ISaGRAF and supervision BinControllers are executed in the STANDBY CPU. The points with sources in the supervision
BinController are not shared by the two CPU.

Both CPU can initialize in different moments, so there is no guarantee that ISaGRAF sequential program is under the
same status in both CPU. If status synchronization between both programs is required, it must be implemented in the
program itself using ISaGRAF variables mapped to coreDb signals.

Saitel DP Modules 11-8


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

Figure 11-8. Switching status under Hot Data mode

There are three status defined for each CPU:


 STANDBY: Under this status, the CPU is operational, the defined software modules in AutoLoad.cfg (coreDb,
synchronization, web server,...), the supervision module and ISaGRAF are executed. The other BinControllers are
not executed. The CPU does not access to the acquisition bus, the SM_SER communication bus; the PPS is not
generated and dbNET is disabled. Data related to the point status are received from the other CPU and updated in
coreDb.
 ONLINE: Under this mode, the CPU is operational and all applications and protocol BinControllers are executing.
The communication is activated through the acquisition bus and communication bus; the PPS is generated.
 FAIL: Under this status, the CPU is not operational.

NOTICE
Hot Data switching has several peculiarities. We recommend you to contact Telvent technical support services in
es-infoSaitel@schneider-electric.com to analyses each particular case.

11.4 Acquisition Bus Redundancy


The backplanes in Saitel DP include four communication buses for module interconnection.

Figure 11-9. Communication buses in the backplane

These four buses are:


 Double Profibus-DP communication bus for the communication between I/O modules and control module (PF1
and PF2).
 Communication bus for synchronizing acquisition modules (SYN).

11-9 Saitel DP Modules


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

 High-speed communication bus for the communication between the control module and communication modules,
SM_SER.
 High-speed communication bus for the communication between the two control modules installed at the same
backplane (CPU).
The acquisition bus redundancy in Saitel DP is achieved by the Profibus DP (RS-485) double bus. This bus enable
distributed acquisition architectures to be defined; it is highly flexible and robust and can cover distances of up to 1500
meters. The communication rate for these channels is selectable from 9.6 kbps and 1.5 Mbps.

Profibus redundancy is expandable to other backplanes since the channels: PF1, PF2 and SYN are outputs in the
backplane through the expansion connectors.

NOTICE
The backplanes in Saitel DP family have a jumper (J2) which is required to configure the system with Profibus-DP
redundant communications. If the jumper is installed, the Profibus-DP redundancy is enabled.

Profibus implementation for Saitel DP has the following features:


 There is only one serial controller for the two Profibus buses.
 Messages both from the master and the slaves are broadcasted through the two buses.
 Both the master and the slaves select the reception bus.
 The redundant bridge must be installed in the backplane in order to be able to select the listening bus. If
uninstalled, the listening bus will always be the bus 1.
 When there is no response in the master (including the attempts), the system switches to the active listening bus.
 If communication is lost between a slave and the master through the two channels during more than 8 seconds,
this event is detected and the adequate diagnostic led is lit.
 The buses are alternatively monitored every minute. Therefore, both fault detection and recovery may be delayed
one minute.

11.5 System’s Duality


The system’s duality is the last option in order to maximize the system’s availability. Duplicity means that all system's
elements are doubled. This is the typical configuration of data hubs and communication front-ends.

In terms of redundancy, there are two CPU in different backplanes with a specific number of communication modules
associated. Both hot and cold switching, which is arbitrated by the MSAC module, are possible. Even though generally
there is no acquisition, it is possible to have acquisition modules installed in the CPU's backplanes in this case.

Communication channels are multiplexed by using a logic device.

11.6 Recommendations
Following paragraphs provide information about the different types of existing redundancies and which is the most
adequate redundancy for each case. Due to the wide range of redundancy possibilities available for Saitel 2000DP, these
proposals are general and open, so it is possible that the least recommended options here are the most appropriate for a
specific project

11.6.1 Power Supply


In non-redundant configurations, the use of an external power supply module is recommended as the most appropriate
option for the backplanes. For the same reasons, it is the recommended option here.

In this case, two slots are not occupied; they can be used for communication or acquisition modules. Moreover, since the
power supply source is different to the polarization source (if acquisition is available), one can fail without affecting the
other.

The table below summarizes the options in order of preference:

It should be noted that all options are not possible sometimes, especially due to location restrictions in the CPU modules,
database specifications or other requirements.

This section does not cover the switching modes, since it is case-specific.

Regardless these aspects, the preferences both in terms of the control mechanism of the CPU modules and the exchange
methods for the database are explained in detailed in further sections. The recommendations below take into
consideration not only the reliability but also the communication rate provided by each option.

Table 11-3 Communication options for “Hot Data” CPU modules

11.6.3 Acquisition Bus: Profibus


If the specific subsystem consists only on a backplane, a Profibus redundancy (that is, setting the enabling jumper or not)
has no effect. Nevertheless, when communications with the acquisition must be established outside the backplane, then
they must be more secured.

To do so, it is possible to take two channels from the same expansion connector or obtain each channel for a connector.

When distances are relatively long, copper wires should not be used, but optic fiber instead. In this case, the
recommended converter is BP2F.

NOTICE
Cooper wired are generally recommended for the connection within a cabinet and optic fiber wires between different
cabinets.

Saitel DP Modules 11-12


Rev 3.2 (21-12-2016)

For the particular case of a system with redundant CPU modules in different backplanes, the status of Profibus
communications in the STANDBY (inoperational) CPU can be monitored by the ONLINE CPU.
To do so, at least one acquisition module is required in the CPU backplanes. The ONLINE CPU will be able to access to
those modules, and the status of the module’s diagnostic signals of the STANDBY CPU will be the status of the Profibus
channel (or channels) of the STANDBY CPU.
Therefore, the status of the Profibus channel in the backplane of the STANDBY CPU will be provided by the acquisition
module.
The figure below illustrates an example of the described architecture with only one Profibus channel:

Figure 11-11. Example of a redundant architecture

If the bottom CPU is the ONLINE CPU will be able to know that the upper CPU in STANDBY status has lost the Profibus
channel when the I/O module does not respond.
