3 Overview & Features


Overview
This document describes the interface between the SCADAPack E SCADAPack E Smart RTU RTUs
and 5000 Series I/O expansion modules.
5000 Series I/O expansion modules provide a cost-effective means to increase analog and digital I/O
5000 Series I/O Expansion 7

count. These modules connect to SCADAPack E Smart RTU RTUs via the 5000 Series I/O bus.

SCADAPack 300E and SCADAPack ES RTUs support I/O expansion using 5000 Series expansion
modules.
Each I/O module has hardware address selection switches which allow the modules to be connected in
a daisy-chain manner for even greater flexibility.

Features

A single SCADAPack E RTU supports connection with up to sixteen (16) 5000 Series I/O (input/output)
modules. See Table 3.1 7 for the number of modules allowed for specific RTU models.

3.1 System Capacity


SCADAPack E firmware supports up to 16 daisy-chained 5000 Series modules (including internal
controller modules). There are some restrictions as to the maximum quantity of identical modules.

Each type of I/O module connected to the I/O Bus needs to have a unique I/O module address.
Each module has a Bus address that is set by DIP switches. Different types of I/O modules may have
the same module address.

The 5606, 5607, 5608, 5609, 5610 and 5611 modules accept module addresses 0 to 7 only. That is to
say that only a total of eight of any combination of these modules are supported on the I/O bus at a
time.

Other module addressing rules are as follows:

No two Digital Input modules may have the same address.


No two Digital Output modules may have the same address.
No two Analog Input modules may have the same address (including the 5505 RTD).
No two Analog Output modules may have the same address.
No two 5606, 5607, 5608, 5609, 5610 and 5611 modules may have the same address, but their
addresses don't conflict with any of the above rules.

Hint: 5000 Series modules are shipped from the factory at address zero. If the modules on the bus
are different types, then no address changes are necessary.

As the module communications is polled from the SCADAPack E RTU, I/O performance will depend on
the number of modules on the bus.
Also take into consideration that the RTU's CPU needs to time-stamp data generated by 5000 Series I/O
(at the time of reception from the I/O bus).

4 Connecting Modules
All 5000 Series modules are DIN rail mounted and connect together with inter-module cables (IMC).
The IMC distributes power and communication signals to the 5000 Series modules. These power and
communication signals are referred to as the I/O Bus.
The figures below show the I/O Bus connector.

Figure 4.1: SCADAPack 350E 5000 Series I/O Bus Connector

The IMC is a 16-conductor ribbon cable. 5000 Series modules ship with a 5cm (2 inch) IMC cable. A
7.5cm (3 inch) Inter Module Cables is available, which can be used to connect to adjacent modules on a
DIN rail.

The maximum total cable length in a single system is specified at 48 inches (1.22m). Schneider Electric
5000 Series I/O Expansion 13

has standard cable lengths of 12, 18, 24, 30 and 45 inches available. These cables can be used in
various combinations to meet the 48 inch limit.

The IMC12 (12 inch) and IMC30 (30 inch) cables are normally used to connect modules on separate DIN
rails. Figure 4.2 below shows two available IMC cables.

To install the IMC:


1. Remove the module cover.
2. Connect the IMC to the I/O Bus connector on the left or right side of the module. Align the key on
the IMC with the slot in the connector. Press the IMC firmly into the connector.
3. Connect the other end of the IMC to an adjacent module.
4. Use the shortest length IMC that is practical. This minimizes voltage drops and interference from
electrical noise. Keep the IMC away from field wiring and other sources of electrical noise.

The I/O Bus does not support “live-swapping”. It is highly recommended to power down the RTU
Note:
and I/O modules before adding another module to the Bus, or replacing a module.

Shielded Inter-Module Cables 14


14 SCADAPack E 5000 I/O Expansion Reference Manual

4.1 Shielded Inter-Module Cables


IMC cables longer than 12 inches (30 cm) are shielded for maximum physical protection and protection
from electrical noise. Shielded inter-module cables have a foil and braid shielding. The shielding is
connected to a terminal lug at one end of the cable

When using a shield for an IMC cable between modules, the shield should be fastened to one
Note: module only, and that module should be the one closest to the controller. Connect the shield
to the enclosure using the self-tapping screw provided.

Some 5000 Series modules require an external DC supply to operate properly. A range of
Hint:
voltages can usually be tolerated. Check the specifications of the module prior to installation.

5000 Series I/O Expansion 15

5 Configuration
SCADAPack E supports configuration of 5000 Series modules and mapping of the I/O channels into the
RTU Point Database.
The 5000 Series module configuration has its own configuration page within SCADAPack E Configurator.
The 5000 Series I/O page is located in the I/O folder.
Where 5000 Series I/O forms part of the SCADAPack E Smart RTU I/O configuration (as is the case for
SCADAPack 300E controllers), the I/O folder page for the configuration is displayed as SCADAPack I/O
, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 5.1: SCADAPack E Configurator 5000 Series I/O Configuration Page

5000 Series modules are selected and configured on the left-hand part of the page, and the channels on
each individual module are connected to RTU database points in the right-hand part of the page. The
SCADAPack E Configurator will automatically create a point of the appropriate type if it does not already
exist.

The 5000 Series I/O Configurator property page will enforce the module addressing rules listed in
Section System Capacity 9 .
Each module in the left part of the page will be displayed in order of module type and address.

Assigning Point Numbers to Channels


Each channel on an I/O module can be connected to a SCADAPack E RTU database point number by
entering the desired point number in the “DNP Pt. No.” field. Pressing the ‘F9” keyboard button will
increment the point number and write it into the DNP Pt. No. field of the next channel.

SCADAPack E Configurator will automatically create a point of the appropriate type if it does not already
exist within its database.

Some I/O module types require the user to select the channel’s input voltage or current range for writing
to the 5000 Series module. These fields are inactive if not required.
5000 Series I/O Expansion 19

5.3 Clearing a Channel & Applying Configurations


Clearing a Channel
An I/O channel can be disconnected from an RTU database point number by selecting by clicking on the
channel’s row number in the right-hand window and pressing the “Clear Channel” button. See Figure 5.7
19 . A dialog will appear (see Figure 5.8 19 ) to request that the user confirm that the correct RTU
database point is to be deleted. The user can choose to either keep the existing point but delete the
reference in the channel, or delete the existing point and remove the reference from the channel.

Figure 5.7: Clear Channel Button

Figure 5.8: Clear Channel Dialog

Applying Configurations
The 5000 Series I/O configurations are only applied when either fully or incrementally reconfiguring the
RTU.
This can be done by using the SCADAPack E Configurator “File \ Write RTU Configuration” menu
item or toolbar button. Alternatively the command line interface can be used (given an appropriate
configuration file) using the “restart config <filename>” command. Refer to the SCADAPack E
Operational Reference manual for more details.

An I/O channel can be moved from one RTU database point number to another by clicking on the
channel’s point number and entering a new point number. A dialog will appear (see Figure 5.9 20 ) to
request that the user confirm that the old RTU database point is to be deleted. The user can choose to
either keep the old point or delete the old point.

Figure 5.9: Clear Channel Dialog


5000 Series I/O Expansion 21

5.5 Configuration Fields


The configurations for the 5000 Series modules (in the context of the data concentrator) are written by
SCADAPack E Configurator into the “Remote Devices” table of the RTU configuration file.
The mapping of RTU database points to I/O module channels is defined in the “Remote Points” table in
the RTU configuration file.
See the SCADAPack E Configuation File Format manual for more details.
The following sections detail the required fields for a 5000 Series module entry. They are detailed here in
the order in which they appear within the SCADAPack E Configurator (SCADAPack I/O or 5000 Series
I/O pages).

5.5.1 Module Address & Type

Module Address
This is the module’s hardware address as set by DIP switches.
Modules are shipped from the factory with a default address of 0.
The address rules described in Section System Capacity 9 apply.

Module Type
Supported modules are listed in Overview / Supported 5000 Series Modules 7 and selected in the
“Add 5000 Series Module” Dialog in SCADAPack E Configurator I/O | SCADAPack I/O and 5000 Series
I/O pages.

If either the Module Type or Module Address fields need to be changed the module will need to be
deleted and then added with the new Module Type and Module Address selection.
Configuration file technical information for the 5000 series I/O is described in the SCADAPack E
Configuration File Format Reference manual in the Table Format / RD Data Concentrator Remote
Devices Table section.
5000 Series I/O Expansion 23

5.5.2 Binary Status Point

The Binary Status Point field allows the user to configure an optional RTU database binary point
number that indicates the health of the I/O card.

When configured, a single derived binary point is created by the RTU for the I/O module status of each
module used. If not already existing these points will be created by the data concentrator upon
reconfiguration of the RTU.
SCADAPack E Configurator will not create this status point automatically.
The status points may be configured with an address anywhere in the RTU User binary point space.
A value of "NONE" or 65535 means that a status point is not configured and not used.
At runtime, if the module status point’s Current State is ‘ON’, then the module is responding to polls
from the RTU.
If the Data Concentrator cannot create this point at run-time, Error Code 3008 is written to the RTU's
System Error Code (5000 Series I/O Point Creation Error).
24 SCADAPack E 5000 I/O Expansion Reference Manual

5.5.3 Input Filter

The value of this field represents a configurable filter rate that can be used to dampen process variations
or noise in each analog input channel. This field is valid for the following I/O module types only:

5606 Mixed I/O AI Channels


5607 Mixed I/O AI Channels
5609 Mixed I/O AI Channels
5611 Mixed I/O AI Channels
5506 AI
5505 RTD

The setting is common to AI channels on the I/O module and is downloaded to the module itself by the
RTU.

The possible entries are listed below along with their enumerated values (used in configuration files).

Values applicable to the 5606, 5607, 5609, 5611 and 5506 AI modules:
3 Hz = 0
6 Hz = 1
11 Hz = 2
30 Hz = 3

Values applicable to the 5505 RTD module:


0.5 Sec . = 0
1 Sec. = 1
2 Sec. = 2
4 Sec. = 3

The following are typical response times resulting from the filters on a 5506 module:

Table 5.4: 5506 AI Typical Response times


5000 Series I/O Expansion 25

5.5.4 Line Frequency, Analog Output Type, & DNP Point No.

Line Frequency
Some modules allow the internal DI and AI scanning rates to be determined by the Line Frequency
setting. This maximizes noise rejection on AI channels and maximizes threshold voltages for AC DI
channels. Input scanning can be synchronized to either 50 Hz or 60Hz. Performance is improved at the
correct frequency. If the module is used in a DC environment, the 60 Hz setting will yield slightly faster
response time.
This field is only valid for the following I/O module types: 5606, 5607, 5608, 5609, 5610 & 5611 Mixed I/
O, and 5506 AI. The setting is common to AI channels on the I/O module and is downloaded to the
module by the RTU.

The Line Frequency selection is as follows (listed along with their enumerated values as used in
configuration files):
60 Hz = 0
50 Hz = 1

The 5606, 5607 and 5611 I/O Modules can be equipped with an optional 5305 Analog Output Module
that provides two analog outputs. This is normally factory-fitted at the time of order. The Output Type
setting selects the output current range for both AO channels on the 5606, 5607 or 5611 modules.

Analog Output Type


This field sets the Analog Output signal range for AO channels on each module.

This field is valid for the following I/O module types only:

5209 controller board AO channels (where installed)


5606 module AO channels (where installed)
5607 module AO channels (where installed)
5611 module AO channels (where installed)

The Analog Output selection is as follows (listed below along with their enumerated values used in
configuration files):

This is the SCADAPack E RTU database Point number that will be connected to an I/O module channel.

The Point Type will be a Physical type that matches that of the I/O channel.
SCADAPack E Configurator will automatically create a point of the appropriate type if it does not already
exist. If the user enters a point number that has already been mapped by the Data Concentrator
configuration, a message dialog will be displayed.

If the Data Concentrator engine detects a configuration error at run-time, a System Error Code value of
3007 is written, “5000 Series I/O Configuration Error”.

5.5.5 Analog Input Type

The value of this field represents the configurable analog input signal range specific to each Analog input
channel.
This field is valid for the following I/O module types only:

5209 controller board AI channels


5606 Composite I/O AI channels
5607 Composite I/O AI channels
5609 Composite I/O AI channels
5611 Composite I/O AI channels
5506 AI
5502 AI
5505 RTD

The setting is downloaded to the module itself by the SCADAPack E RTU.

The possible selections are listed below along with their enumerated values (used in configuration files).

SCADAPack E analog point scaling is dependent upon the point's RAW_MIN and RAW_MAX
attributes.
In general, Analog / Digital Converter (ADC) on the 5000 Series I/O modules returns 0 to 32767 counts
being 0 to 100% of the selected input range for the channel. This is scaled to the point's database
Integer value in the range RAW_MIN to RAW_MAX.
For example, if a 5000 Series I/O module point's attributes are RAW_MIN = 0, RAW_MAX = 10000 then
100% of the selected input signal range corresponds to 10000 counts.
See SCADAPack E Data Processing Technical Reference manual for more information.

The analog input signal ranges available on particular I/O module models may vary slightly. See the
appropriate I/O Module hardware manual for more information.

The following values are used in the RTU configuration file to set the AI channel input signal types. For
more information see the SCADAPack E Configuration File Format Reference.

5209 AI Channel:
0 to 10V / 0 to 40mA = 0
0 to 5V / 0 to 20mA = 1
1 to 5V / 4 to 20mA = 2

5506 AI Channel:
0 to 5V = 0
1 to 5V = 1
28 SCADAPack E 5000 I/O Expansion Reference Manual

0 to 20mA = 2
4 to 20mA = 3

5606, 5607, 5609 & 5611 AI Channel:


0 to 5V = 0
0 to 10V = 1
0 to 20mA = 2
4 to 20mA = 3
1 to 5V = 4

5505 AI Channel:
Deg. Celsius = 0
Deg. Fahrenheit = 1
Deg. Kelvin = 2
Ohms = 3

6 Operation & Out of Range


Upon RTU startup or following reconfiguration, each configured module is checked for existence and if
found, the appropriate configuration parameters are written to each module.
Each module is then polled by the SCADAPack E Data Concentrator as quickly as possible in a round-
robin manner. After each poll response, input changes are detected, time-stamped and queued to the
Data Processor task for the associated RTU database point to be processed and updated.

Modules not responding or are not connected to the bus will have their Digital Status point’s Current
State set to ‘OFF’. RTU database points mapped to I/O channels on that non-responsive module will
have their “I/O Not Responding” attribute set.
The non responding or powered-off module will then be polled at 30 second intervals by the RTU.
Should the module subsequently respond, the module’s Digital Status point will be set ‘ON’ and the
mapped point’s “I/O Not Responding” attribute cleared.

In general, analog input point “Over-Range” or “Under-Range" status can be provided by both a 5000
series module AI channel's "Over-Range" and "Under-Range" status as well as by the SCADAPack E
Data Processor from the analog input point's configuration attributes.
See the hardware manual for your 5000 series module for further information on the "Over-Range" and
"Under-Range" status. See below for out of range handling on the 5505 RTD Module 29 .
SCADAPack E analog input point "under-range" and "over-range" configuration attributes can be used to
set narrower limits than the fixed under-range and over-range reported by the module, if desired.

5505 RTD M odule

The 5505 RTD module reports Over-Range and Under-Range status for each RTD input channel. The
settings for the under/over range status is dependent on the RTD range set for the channel. See the
5505 RTD Input Module Hardware Manual for more information.
SCADAPack E analog input point under-range over-range configuration attributes can also be used with
5505 RTD input points to set narrow limits than the fixed under-range and over-range reported by the
module, if desired.
The 5505 RTD module can also report that an input channel has an "open status". This sets the mapped
point's “Over-Range” attribute.
