1.5 Earthing
WARNING
Before energizer the device, it has to be placed to earth properly such as it indicates in sections
1.5.1 and 1.5.2 .
When installing the device, ground is the first thing that should be connected and the last one
that should be disconnected.

Saitel can need put to earth for two distinct needs:

• For purposes of electrical safety (Protective Earth, PE).

• Improve the behavior in EMC and derive perturbations to earth (functional Earth).

1.5.1 Electrical Safety

Only qualified personnel, with knowledge about hazards associate with electrical equipment is
allowed to install Saitel DR. In general, the installation will be following IEC 61010-1
recommendations in order to be compliant with this norm.

The DIN rail must be installed on a metallic surface. This metallic surface must have
available an M4 screw marked with this symbol. The ground of the cabinet or
installation must be connected to this screw, according to the norm IEC 61010-1.

Saitel DR modules have a metallic enclosure offering protection for isolation faults. Earthing is
done by the metal rail fixing clip.

WARNING
All devices with high voltage must be disconnected before dismount a module from the DIN rail.

A dedicated connection with green/yellow wire should be used to assure electric continuity to the
installation protective earth. Section of these wires must be enough in order to support 25 A
(ground bonding test).
Figure 2 – Yellow and Green cable for earthing.

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

WARNING

4.1 ITB Configuration

INFORMACIÓN
To perform the operations described in this chapter, the user must be familiar with the
configuration tool. Otherwise, please consult the user manual of Easergy Builder.

In the Workspace of Easergy Builder, create a new RTU using button or pressing right button
of the mouse in an empty area of the RTUs tree:
Figure 17 –Add RTU.

Pressing button next to the graphical ITB, you can add, remove or change the I/O modules
included on the default configuration.
Figure 18 –Modify acquisition.

The user needs understand some basic concepts about Saitel DR before configuring the
acquisition:

• An ITB is a set of acquisition blocks connected to a CPU (HU).

• An Acquisition Block or AB is a Saitel DR input/output module.

• Each acquisition block is allocated to a unique address in the ITB, the Node Number; this
number identifies both the module and its type.

• The procedure AAP (Automatic Addressing Procedure) is performed by the operator

every time an AB module is added, deleted, replaced or moved inside the ITB. It can be
launched manually or automatically depending on the configuration switches of the HU
(consult user manual of the HU).
Figure 19 – Acquisition modules in a default configuration.

R&D Digital Seville

Page 30
User Manual – AB_DIDO 24/03/2020

The number under each module corresponds with its address. You can select any AB and use
buttons to change its physical position.
When “Auto Address” box is checked (by default), if you reorder, add or delete an AB, all
addresses are automatically recalculated matching their physical position in the rail. Address
number 1 is assigned to the AB closest to the HU module (for HU_AF or HU_BI, address number 1
will be attached to the HU itself).
If “Auto Address” box is unchecked, modules will retain the allocated address, ignoring any
changes made. If rechecked, the following message will appear:
Figure 20 – Confirmation for automatic addressing.

Select an AB (click on the AB image) and use button to remove it. Use button to add a new
AB and select the type of module to include:
Figure 21 – Adding one (or several) AB.

If “Auto Address” is checked, you can add several AB at one time. This window allows selecting
the quantity of modules to be added. If “Auto Address” in unchecked, you only can add one AB
each time and you have to select the address to be assigned.
To create a new configuration, select RTU in the tree and pulse right button of the mouse or use

button.
Figure 22 – Adding configuration.

If the field "Create acquisition points defined in the RTU" is marked, all points of the local
acquisition of the acquisition blocks included in the default acquisition configuration associated with
the RTU will be included in coreDb.
For example, if a HUe has an ITB with a AB_DIDO module, if "Create acquisition points defined
in the RTU", following points are generated:

• 16 digital inputs in Status table.

• 8 digital outputs in Command table

R&D Digital Seville

Page 31
24/03/2020 User Manual – AB_DIDO

Finally, the new configuration will appear in the RTUs tree.

Access to the configuration edition clicking on the configuration name in the tree:
Figure 23– Easergy Builder configuration.

Double click on the claq Device open the window to configure/modify the ITB.
Figure 24 – Easergy Builder address.

4.2 AB_DIDO Configuration

The local acquisition Device for Saitel DR is named “Local Acquisition Device Controller” (claq).
The main functionality of claq is supporting the communication between field signals of each AB
and its linked coreDb points.
The first step to configure the acquisition settings is to assure that the ITB in the graphical interface
is according to the system. Each module must be addressed according its position in the ITB.

NOTICE
The graphical interface does not take into account if the ITB is assembled in one or multiple rows. The
modules should always be added in the adequate order, regardless the number of TU-XU modules that
we have installed.

4.2.1 Information of Local Acquisition

The following figure shows the relationship between the field information received by the AB_DIDO
module and the related points in coreDb:
Figure 25 – Field signals and points in coreDb.

All signals in this picture are simple. If a signal is configured as double or counter its default name
will be different.

4.2.2 AB_DIDO signals

The following figure shows the configuration panel when the ITB is composed by an HUe and one
AB_DIDO module with address 1:
Figure 26 – AB_DIDO digital input signals.

Select the module in the ITB and all its field signals are shown (marked in red).
R&D Digital Seville
Page 33
24/03/2020 User Manual – AB_DIDO

The first position of each row corresponds with the signal’s description (DI_ISIM_1 .. DI_ISIM_16).
In coreDb, each signal will be identified using its coordinate. (see paragraph 4.2.3
For each signal, the following parameters can be changed:

• Type of signal: The signal is configured as: Simple digital (DI_ISIM), double digital (DI_IDOB)
or slow counter (DI_ICNT32).
The following parameters will be available or not depending on the type of signal:

• Invert: Inversion flag. The signal is inverted (Y) or not inverted (N).

• TF (ms): Filtering time. All changes that take less than this time are rejected.

• TM (ms*10): It applies to the signals set to "event". After an event, the signal's value is retained
for this time before another event occurs. It must assure the correct detection by the logic.

• TS (ms*100): It applies only for double signals. The stand-by time intends to create a time
frame in which the deactivation of the active input is not detected until the other input is
activated.

• NChat and TChat: These parameters are associated to the anti-chattering function and it
applies to the signals set to "event". If a number of changes (NChat) are made in a specific
timeframe (TChat), these all changes are rejected.
The following figure shows the configuration panel for digital output signals:
Figure 27 – AB_DIDO digital output signals.

Each signal has the following associated information:

• Select before operating: Enable the SBO working mode.

• Digital Output Checkbox: Disable the digital output. It will not be used and cannot be mapped
on coreDb.

• DO_OSIM/DO_ODOB:
o DO_OSIM: The digital output is configured as simple.
o DO_ODOB: The digital output is configured as double.

R&D Digital Seville

Page 34
User Manual – AB_DIDO 24/03/2020

• Latch:
o No: The digital output is not configured as latch.
o Yes: The digital output is configured as latch.

• ExeTim(ms): In case latch option is not used ExeTim can be configured. It means the pulse
time duration when the digital output is activated.

4.2.3 Local Acquisition Coordinates

Each digital input is identified in coreDb by a name (it is stored in the field Description), but this
name is only used for information purpose. coreDb uses the signal’s coordinate to identify a field
signal.
A claq coordinate is a numerical identifier of 10 digits with the following structure:
1XXXYYZZZZ
Where:

• 1: First digit of the coordinate. In local acquisition signals, it must always be 1.

• XXX: Number that identifies the acquisition block. For the HUe signals, it will always be 000.
For the rest of the ABs, this number will correspond with the address of the module.

• YY: Type of signal. For digital input could be:

o 02: Simple digital input.
o 03: Count.
o 05: Simple digital output.
o 07: Double digital input.
o 15: Double digital output.

• ZZZZ: Position of the signal in the module.

4.2.4 Information in the Table Status

Each digital input signal is associated to a coreDb register in the status table using its claq
coordinate as source:

4.4 Firmware Update

Once the ITB is configured, the HU module (HU_A or HU_B) already knows the type of acquisition
blocks that are been installed and their corresponding addresses.
To update the software of the AB_DIDO module, you need:

• A console connection with the HU.

• AB_DIDO module must be correctly addressed and working fine in the ITB (LED Run must be
blinking).

• AB_DIDO.bin file with the new version. This file must be available in the flash folder of the HU.
If not, you can contact Schneider Electric in order to ask for it. Use an SFTP client and transfer
this binary file into the HU flash folder.
The console tool can be executed using any commercial tool for serial or SSH connection. In this
manual, PuTTy software is used.
Open a serial connection as follow:
