2. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICATION


The TS-5 Service Terminal is a program for connecting to an ELIOP Series 5 telecontrol unit
such as the CONDOR-5, ELIPOS-5, ELITEL-5, UCP-5, UCS-5, etc. The connection can be
local through serial cable, remote by modem (RTC/GSM) or through an Ethernet network
(LAN/WAN).

The telecontrol equipment will normally be linked through another higher level concentrator
unit or directly with a SCADA situated in the Control Center, to which all the information of
the installation to be controlled is sent. In addition, there are another series of functions,
separated from the complete telecontrol system, and which are required to be carried out on
the equipment on a sporadic basis, such as configuration, commissioning, troubleshooting,
etc. These functions can be carried out through the Service Terminal.

2.1 Man-Machine Interface


The Service Terminal application is a complete MMI which allows the user to interact with the
equipment through a graphics interface with windows and messages in the Windows
environment, with which the operators are normally familiar.

Access to the different functions of the TS-5 is supervised through a system which considers
up to three different types of users: Administrator, Operator or Monitor. User access,
according to one profile or another, is controlled through a password system. Each user has
authorization to carry out a different number of functions in relation to his profile. Users with
Administrator profile can carry out all the functions offered by the equipment without any
restrictions of any kind.

The installation of the TS-5 application also installs the USER-5 application which allows to
manage the different users and their access levels. The use of this application is explained in
Section No. 4 of this manual.

5. CONNECTING THE TS-5 TO EQUIPMENT


Once the application is installed in the computer, the first thing to do is connect the Service
Terminal with the equipment. For this, the computer should be physically connected to the
equipment with communications cable and it should be ensured that the configuration is
correct.

5.1 Power supply of the telecontrol equipment


The first step to connect the Service Terminal application with a field unit is that it be
connected to its power supply.

It is recommended that its installation and commissioning instructions be followed, taking


particular care with the supply voltage. The correct starting of the equipment is usually
indicated by the illumination of the green led on the MFA module (power supply) or through
the information presented in the LCD visor of the front panel.

5.2 Serial connection cable


Communication between the computer with the TS-5 application and the Series 5 telecontrol
equipment will be carried out through a serial port, configured as IEC 60.870-5-101 protocol in
the telecontrol equipment.

In case it is used as a service terminal of a unit which uses the ELITEL-5 hardware platform, it
is recommended that it be connected to the available port at the front of the equipment. This
is the port configured by default in the equipment for communication with the TS-5.

The connection will normally be carried out by cable through an RS-232 serial port between a
COM serial port of the PC (normally DB-9 male) and a port with DB-9 connector of the
equipment. In case of using a 25-pin connector, a standard 9-pin converter can be used.

The cable structure should be the following:

Female DB-9 connector Male DB-9 connector


Signal
(TS-5) (Equipment)
2 (RxD) < Data < 2 (TxD)
3 (TxD) > Data > 3 (RxD)

5 (GND) Ground 5 (GND)

7 and 8 Connected on TS-5 side

4 and 6 Connected on TS-5 side

It is necessary to know the port configured in the equipment for communication with the TS-
5, its rate, parity and number of bits.

All rights reserved. Information property of ELIOP 1


Series 5 Service Terminal
TS-5
User Manual
4800 9206 V1.5/013

The TS-5 accommodates the rate and format set in the telecontrol equipment configuration.
This adjustment is not automatic for which it is necessary to introduce this data in the TS-5
application in order to establish communication. The documentation supplied with the
equipment provides this information.

A special case occurs when the telecontrol equipment does not have the configuration loaded
in its memory. In this case, the equipment adopts a “default” configuration, which allows to
communicate to the TS-5 with a unit at a rate of 9600 bauds, with a character format of 8 non-
parity bits and 1 stop bit.

The TS-5 program itself offers a menu which allows to select the serial path to be used and its
characteristics. It should be ensured that the port specified in this menu coincides with that
actually connected and that the rate and character format coincide with those of the equipment
configuration. This fact is explained in more detail in the section dedicated to the use of
communications ports of the TS-5.

Following is a photo of the two Series 5 units with the location of the connector for
communication with the TS-5 Service Terminal in the front panel and directly in the module.
The serial port connector in the computer is normally located in the rear part, with this being
the male DB-9 type.

5.3 Ethernet connection


From version 1.4 of the TS-5 application, it is possible to connect to a Series 5 unit through a
braided pair or fiber-optic Ethernet network.

Following, photos of the two Series 5 modules with the location of the Ethernet connector are
shown through which the TS-5 Service Terminal can be connected. This Ethernet connection
is valid in order that several applications, in addition to the TS-5, can be simultaneously
connected to the equipment, each through a different logical port, or to carry out different
functions (SCADA connection or with other Series 5 equipment or that of other
manufacturers).

The photos shown are of two of the modules which allow connection through fiber optics or
braided pair at 10Mbps (10BaseT and 10BaseF).

5.4 Connect
Once the application is started, the connection process with the telecontrol equipment does
not start automatically but rather the Connect option should be selected. If this is done
immediately after starting the application, the default configuration of the TS-5 is used for the
connection, serial port or Ethernet port, rate, address and other communications
characteristics.

In case it is required to carry out the connection through a different port, a different Ethernet
address or with other characteristics, the connection configuration should be modified in the
Configuration of TS-5 + Communications + Serial connection // Ethernet connection
menu. The configuration procedure of the connection is explained below.

In case that the TS-5 cannot be connected with the telecontrol equipment, the application
presents the following message box.

If this occurs, all the essential points for the connection should be reviewed step by step:
l Communications cable connected to the computer port and telecontrol equipment.
l There is no other application occupying the same communications port of the PC used by
the Service Terminal (in this case, there may be a conflict between the TS-5 and another
application, which should be closed before continuing).
l Telecontrol equipment with power supply and connected. It should be verified if the led
of the power supply is on. In case there is an LCD screen in the front panel, it should be
verified that the information presented indicates a correct startup.

The second of the options in the pull-down menu of the TS-5 application is the TS-5
Configuration Menu. This option allows to carry out the operations corresponding to the Service
Terminal configuration.

6.3.1 Communications
The Communications submenu allows to configure the communication port of the TS-5 with the
Telecontrol equipment. From version 1.4, the connection through the serial port and through an
Ethernet network is available.

Connection through the serial port

The selection of the Configuration of TS-5 + Communications + Serial connection option


presents a window with the following fields:
l Port name: Allows to select the PC output port (COM1 to COM4) with which the telecontrol
equipment will be connected through the serial cable.
l Rate: This is the rate of the communication port. A value between 300bps and 115,200bps
can be selected. This value is restricted by the quality of the link and type of RS-232 or RS-
485 connection. A normal value for the RS-232 connection is 19,200bps.
l Parity: The available options are even, uneven and none, with the selected option having to
coincide with the communication port configuration of the equipment.
l Data bits: This value should also coincide with the serial port configuration of the equipment,
with this being 7 or 8.

l Carrier prologue (s/100): This is the deferral time between the carrier establishment and the
start of communication transmission. The value is expressed in hundredths of a second.
l Carrier epilogue (s/100): This is the time that the carrier is maintained once the information
has been transmitted through the port. The value is expressed in hundredths of a second.
l Number of retries: This is the number of times that the application attempts to connect with
the equipment before informing the user of the connection failure.
l Time between retries (s/100): This is the time, expressed in tenths of a second, which is
allowed to elapse between two connection retries.
l Length of link address: This is the number of bytes used in the link address of the equipment.
According to the profile of the IEC protocol used, this may be two or three. The most
common in the equipment of Series 5 is the value two.
l Link address: This is the address of the equipment with which communication will be made.
This address should coincide with that configured in the equipment. It is necessary to
establish this address to select the equipment with which communication will be made when
there are several units connected to the same serial bus, for example, when there are several
units connected to the same RS-485 bus.

Connection through the Ethernet port

The configuration window of the Ethernet communication (Configuration of TS-5 +


Communications + Ethernet connection) has the following fields:
l Number of retries: This is the number of times that the application attempts the connection
with the equipment before informing the user of a connection failure.
l Time between retries (s/100): This is the time, established in tenths of a second, which is
allowed to expire between connection retries.

l Length of link address: This is the number of bytes used in the link address of the equipment.
According to the profile of the IEC protocol used these may be two or three. The most
common case in the equipment of Series 5 is the value two.
l Link address: This is the address of the equipment with which we wish to communicate.
l IP address: This is the IP address of the communication port.
l TCP port: IP address connection port.
l Connection timeout: Maximum time of connection without interruption in milliseconds.

On selecting the desired options and clicking Apply, these values will be modified for the present
connection. If Close is selected, none of the changes made will be applied.
In case the Preferences option of the User menu is marked, this configuration will be stored in the
memory and will be the one used as default the next time that the TS-5 is started.

6.3.2 Terminal parameters


The Terminal parameters submenu (TS-5 configuration + Terminal parameters) allows to
modify the internal parameters of the TS-5.
Among these parameters, the size of events list for monitoring can be modified, where all the
events/alarms included in the telecontrol equipment are stored. This is a circular list, which
means that as alarms are received, they are stored in the list in order that the user of the TS-5 can
view them. Once the list of alarms is complete, the oldest alarm is overwritten when a new alarm
occurs.
Consequently, in the example of the following window, the application is configured to receive
the last 2,500 alarms. When alarm 2,501 occurs, the oldest alarm (in this case the first alarm) will
be deleted from the list of the TS-5.
It is allowed to select a value between 0 and 5000 alarms writing directly over the field, or by
increasing/decreasing the value by selecting the arrows of the button with the mouse.

As was explained in the Main Window section, the last two events recorded in the equipment
always appear in the lower part of this window.
In addition to being accumulated in the list, the list of events can be printed out from the list
window, as will be shown later in this manual.
Also, the Parameters dialogue box of the TS-5 allows to establish the following operating
parameters of the TS-5:
l Supervision frequency of alarm communications: The value of this parameter indicates the
period of supervision with which the communication protocol with the field equipment
updates the information of the alarms list. This period is expressed in milliseconds. The
default value is 100 milliseconds.
l Size in bytes of the segments which form the files transferred between the field equipment
and the TS-5 during downloading operations. The default value is 200 bytes.
l Synchronization checking option of the equipment with which the TS-5 communicates. This
option is activated by default, which means that the TS-5 checks the synchronization of the
date and hour maintained by the equipment with which it communicates.
l Establishment option of a validity time limit (“timeout”) for the data contained in a time-
variable data list window.
l TS-5 start option with a user with administrator mode. In case this option is activated, the
name of this administrator user and his key should be entered in the User and Password
fields.
l An option which allows to connect the TS-5, on starting the application, with the equipment
whose connection parameters are stored by default. These default connection parameters are
established in the dialogue boxes described in the Connection through the serial port and
Connection through the Ethernet port sections.

6.4 Equipment Menu


This is the main option of the menu. From this option, communications between the TS-5 and
the equipment can be connected and disconnected, in addition to carrying out the operation and
administration tasks.
If there is no communication with a unit, only the Connect option will be enabled. Once in
communication, the remaining options will be enabled according to the type of user.

6.4.1 Connection
This option (Equipment + Connect) should be selected to start the connection with a unit.

The TS-5 first checks if it has the equipment configuration in memory. If it does not or this has
changed from the last time, it proceeds to recover it from the equipment, as the following figure
shows.

In case that the connection with the equipment is successfully established, the status of the
connection changes to Communicating in the status bar of the application.

6.4.2 Disconnect
The selection of this option (Equipment + Disconnect) allows to terminate the communication
with the equipment. To reestablish a connection with a unit, it is necessary to reselect the
Connect submenu option from the Equipment menu.

6.4.3 Operate
This option of the Equipment menu (Equipment + Operate) is probably the most important of
the application, since all the monitoring and operation tasks offered by the Series-5 equipment
can be carried out from the windows accessed through this option.
The organization of the options within this submenu corresponds to the Series 5 architecture.
The Series 5 architecture classifies the digital signals into three differentiated entities:
l Physical Digital Inputs and Outputs: They represent the physical magnitudes which are
obtained directly from the field environment.
l Digital Input and Output Signals: Each to which one or several physical I/O or also logic
signals can be associated.
u The most common types of input are:
• Single inputs,
• Counter inputs,
• Double inputs,
• Sextuple inputs,
• Numerical inputs (binary, gray, BCD, 1/N type).
u The most common outputs are:
• single,
• oscillator,
• single and double impulse.
l Digital Input and Output Elements: Used when more complex or elaborate treatment than
those offered by the signals is required. In its configuration, each element covers the input
and output signals it uses. In addition to the predefined elements, such as T type bistable,
set/reset, single security outputs, supervised, double supervised digital/numerical/analogue
input and outputs with selection, the user may define his own elements.

6.4.3.1 Physical I/O

The selection of the Equipment + Operate + Physical I/O option originates the on-screen
presentation of a window from which the physical inputs and outputs of the equipment can be
monitored.

Each of the physical input and output modules is arranged in a row, forming the following
columns:

l Identifier of the module: This is a numerical code which allows to define the input and
output on an unmistakable basis. For simplicity, it is tended to be used as an identifier of
the module position in the chassis of the field equipment.

l Type of module: Refers to the signals handled by this, digital inputs, digital outputs,
analogue inputs, analogue outputs, etc.

l Position of the physical input module: Affects Series-5 equipment mounted on an


ELITEL-5 type modular platform. The numbering is consecutive from left to right, facing
the front of the modules. It is numbered commencing with a one from the third slot (the
first slot is occupied by the MFA power supply and the second slot by the MPB
processor).

l Module status: This may be operational, when operating correctly, and nonoperational,
when not installed in the chassis or otherwise (although in the configuration) or presents
any other type of error which impedes its normal operation.

In order to see in detail the situation of each module, it is sufficient to select this in the list and
click the Detail button, which presents a window in which the type and position of the module
selected is shown in the upper part.

6.4.3.1.1 Digital Inputs

The Detail window of a Digital input module contains the following "read only" information (its
values cannot be modified from the TS-5):
l Scanning rate, expressed in ms, of the digital inputs of this module in the field equipment.
l Module status: Indicates whether or not operational at the time. An illuminated green led
indicates that the module is operational. Otherwise, the module is not operational and a gray
led is illuminated indicating that it is disconnected.
l Physical value of each of the digital inputs. If the led representing each of the inputs is gray
indicating disconnected, it is that the physical input does not register voltage. Otherwise, a
green led will be illuminated.
On clicking the Close button, this closes the window and allows to return to the Physical I/O
window.
The module presented in the following figure is a module of 16 digital inputs. The number and

following three parts:
l Name of the signal, which cannot be modified.
l Parameters, which contain the signal configuration data. The fields grouped under the
Parameters epigraph are "read only" and cannot be modified. The configuration parameters
include, among others, the module identifier (remember that it corresponds to the module
position in the chassis), the input number in the module, the positive logic (“1” for enabled
input and “0” for disabled input) or negative (“0” for enabled input and “1” for disabled
input) configured for the signal, the indication of whether or not the changes undergone by
the signal generate events and parameters of a temporary type in relation to the filtering of the
signal, alarms inhibition, etc.
l Signal Status in real time and value.
IMPORTANT: The detailed explanation of the different configuration parameters of the

transmission of the command to the field equipment.
On selecting the Change mode button, the operation mode of the selected signal can be modified.
It is possible to switch from automatic to manual mode or the vice versa. This window also
allows to enable or disable the signal if considered appropriate in the operation of the equipment.
This window contains the following fields:
l Signal identifier, value which may very between 0 and 65535. This field contains a
configuration parameter and, consequently, cannot be modified from the TS-5.
l “Led” which represents the present mode, Automatic or Manual, for the signal considered.
l Activation buttons which allow to alternate the working mode from the possible modes:
Manual or Automatic.

6.4.3.2.1.2 Double input


The following window shows the different fields presented in the window for a double input.

As in the case of the Single input window, the Double input window is divided into three
different parts:
l Name of the signal, “read only” field, and which cannot be modified through the TS-5.
l Signal configuration parameters, which cannot be modified through the TS-5. Unlike the
single input, the configuration parameters include the number of the first input, of the two
which form a double input, and not the number of the individual input.
l Status and value of the signal in real time, either the Manual or Automatic working mode, or
its Unknown status, with inhibited alarms or otherwise. In the example of the figure, the
actual value for this signal is Illegal, due to that the status of the two signals of which the
double input is formed (in this case the position signals of a disconnecting switch) is
mismatched.
On selecting the Change mode button, we can modify the operation mode of the selected signal.
It is possible to change from Automatic to Manual, or vice versa (and enable or disable the signal
if considered appropriate in the operation of the equipment). The window also indicates the
present status of the signal.

6.4.3.2.2 Digital outputs


The digital output signals may consist of one or several physical outputs or internal signals (logic)
without corresponding to physical points.
The fields in this window are the same as the digital input window. The most common types of
outputs are:
l Single outputs,
l Oscillator outputs,
l Single and double impulsive outputs.
The digital outputs list window also has a Save button to allow to store the data presented in the
window in a file. If the Save button is clicked, a Windows standard "Save as" dialogue box
appears, through which the user can easily select the storage information: Disk unit, directory
and file name in which the data will be stored. The format adopted for saving will be of the text
type, with one entry per line and the data of each entry (identifier, type, name, working mode and
status) separated by a tab character.
On clicking the Close button of the window, this closes and returns to the Main window.
On selecting one of the signals and clicking the Detail button of the lower part, we can see the
different configuration fields of a signal.

If the response is affirmative, the corresponding command is generated over the selected signal.
In case a command cannot be executed, the application is made known to the user through a
message box.

In this case, the rejection of the command is recorded in the equipment with the corresponding
event, as well as in the TS-5 application, in the lower part of the main window and also in the list
of events.

In the lower right part, the detail window of the single outputs also has a button which enables to
change the operation mode of an output. The change mode window of the digital outputs is the
same as the change mode window of the digital inputs.

6.4.3.2.2.2 Oscillator Output

Following, a detail window of a digital oscillator output is shown.

The main difference with the previous window is that for the oscillator output the configuration
parameter which sets the oscillation time of the digital output is presented, expressed in
hundredths of a second. As in the remaining configuration parameters, this value cannot be
modified from the TS-5.

This window can be saved in the same way as digital signals. On clicking the Save button, a
Windows standard Save as dialogue box appears, which allows to select the location and name
of the file in text format where the list of signals will be stored. The file format consists of one
row for each signal of the window, with the fields of each row separated by tabs. The file
extension of the list of signals is .DAT, by default.
On selecting one of the analogue signals and clicking the Detail button, a window appears
showing the name, configuration parameters and present status of the signal. This grouping of
fields is kept constant, even when the different analogue input windows change slightly
depending on the type of input signal.

The window allows to see the analogue signal value in count format (Digital Analogue Converter
or DAC) as well as in engineering units, in the primary as well as secondary, in case of a
transformer outside the equipment.
The mode of an analogue signal can be changed to make it manual. This is particularly useful to
avoid the continuous transmission of alarms to a SCADA or Control Center, in case of a
measuring problem or failure of an external transducer.

6.4.3.3 Elements
The following level within the logic architecture of Series 5 is that of elements. This is the highest
level, which groups the two previous levels: Physical inputs and outputs and signals.
The list of elements is similar to that shown for the previous cases and the fields are also identical.
The detail window is different according to the type of element, given that the configuration
parameters and status values are also different.

The Save, Detail and Close buttons, which show the same functionality described in previous
sections, also exist, as in the other list windows.
The possible elements are the following:
l T type bistable.
l R/S type bistable.
l Single security digital output.
l Supervised single digital impulsive output.
l Double digital impulsive output supervised by digital input.
l Double digital impulsive output supervised by numerical input.
l Double digital impulsive output supervised by analogue input.
l Digital impulsive output with selection.
In addition, the user can define his own elements in the configuration of the field equipment.
These user elements contain a logical expression defined from other signals configured in the
equipment. Consequently, the value of this element depends on the value of the start signals and
the ratio or algorithm established between these.

6.4.3.4 Registry Archives

The following option within the Operate submenu, Registry archives, is used to monitor the
information of the registry archives which contain a field unit.

Each of the functional objects of the equipment of Series 5 can be configured to generate events
with chronological information over relevant events related to the object, which are stored in the
equipment and which can be transmitted to other equipment or to a control center.

Series 5 equipment is provided with a general chronological archive and, optionally, up to 16


partial chronological archives which can be configured to store a subset of the events generated in
the System. The general chronology always exists and receives all the events generated in the
System. The partial chronological archives only receive those events generated by the list of
objects defined in the configuration.

The format of the event messages is the following and is explained in detail in the user manual of
the telecontrol equipment:

TipoObj IdObj TipoEv ValorEv EtiqT IdCrono1 IdCrono2 ... IdCrono16


Object Object Type of Value of Cronol. 1 Cronol. 2 Cronol. 16

6.4.3.7 Reboot equipment

The Service Terminal allows to reboot the field equipment on a remote basis through
communications. The Reboot equipment window allows to select a unit from the list of
connected equipment, with it being possible to opt for three different types of reboots:
l Cold: All the memory of the equipment is erased, for which during the startup of the
equipment all the alarms and events corresponding to an initialization situation are originated.
The date/hour of the equipment is initialized as a default value and it may be necessary to
make a date/hour change immediately after the cold reboot. IMPORTANT: The events and
alarms recorded after the startup and before a new date/hour is established will be labeled
with the default date/hour.
l Warm: The equipment starts with the information of its present status being kept in memory.
Consequently, the equipment does not undergo any loss of any prior information or of the
date/hour. Thus, it will not generate initialization events or alarms, but only those of the
normal operation of the equipment.
l Download executable file: Once the executable file has been downloaded to a control
equipment, this should be rebooted. This is the option to be selected.

Once the required type of startup is selected, the reboot of the corresponding equipment is
carried out through the Apply button. The Service Terminal application will then show a window
through which the user will be requested to confirm or cancel the execute command.

Communication with the TS-5 will be lost on rebooting the equipment, as is shown in the
following figure.
