4. DEVICE INSTALLATION

The unit has been designed and manufactured in a way assuring a high level of user

safety and resistance to interference occurring in a typical industrial environment. In order to

take full advantage of these characteristics installation of the unit must be conducted correctly

and according to the local regulations.

- Read the basic safety requirements on page 3 prior to starting the installation.

- Ensure that the power supply network voltage corresponds to the nominal

voltage stated on the unit’s identification label.

- The load must correspond to the requirements listed in the technical data.

- All installation works must be conducted with a disconnected power supply.

User manual - MODULE SLI-8

4.1. UNPACKING

After removing the unit from the protective packaging, check for transportation damage. Any

transportation damage must be immediately reported to the carrier. Also, write down the unit

serial number on the housing and report the damage to the manufacturer.

Attached with the unit please find:

- user’s manual,

- warranty,

4.2. CONNECTION METHOD

Caution

- Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel . During installation all

available safety requirements should be considered. The fitter is responsible for

executing the installation according to this manual, local safety and EMC

regulations.

- Wiring must meet appropriate standards and local regulations and laws.

- In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables must be

terminated with appropriate insulated cable tips.

- Tighten the clamping screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm.

Loose screws can cause fire or defective operation. Over tightening can lead to

damaging the connections inside the units and breaking the thread.

- In the case of the unit being fitted with separable clamps they should be inserted

into appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any

connections.

- Unused clamps (marked as n.c.) must not be used for connecting any

connecting cables (e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage to the

equipment or electric shock.

Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures

assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of improper indications

keep recommendations listed below.

–Avoid common (parallel) leading of signal cables and transmission cables together with

power supply cables and cables controlling induction loads (e.g. contactors). uch cables

should cross at a right angle.

–Contactor coils and induction loads should be equipped with anti-interference protection

systems, e.g. RC-type.

–Use of screened signal cables is recommended. ignal cable screens should be

connected to the earthing only at one of the ends of the screened cable.

–In the case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted couples of signal

cables (so-called “spirals”) is recommended. The spiral (best if shielded) must be used

with R -485 serial transmission connections.

User manual - MODULE SLI-8

–In the case of interference from the power supply side the use of appropriate anti-

interference filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter

and the unit should be as short as possible and the metal housing of the filter must be

connected to the earthing with largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter

output must not run in parallel with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays

or contactors).

External powers supply must be connected to the module (+Uz, -Uz, typically 24V DC)

and two wires R -485 (A+, B-) communication interface. Inputs are placed on bottom side of

the module (see:Figure 4.1).

4.3. MAINTENANCE

The unit does not have any internal replaceable or adjustable components available to

the user. Pay attention to the ambient temperature in the room where the unit is operating.

Excessively high temperatures cause faster ageing of the internal components and shorten the

fault-free time of unit operation.

In cases where the unit gets dirty do not clean with solvents. For cleaning use warm water with

small amount of detergent or in the case of more significant contamination ethyl or isopropyl

alcohol.

Using any other agents can cause permanent damage to the housing.

Product marked with this symbol should not be placed in municipal waste. Please

check local regulations for disposal and electronic products.

5. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Multi counter module SLI- allows independent counting of pulses delivered to its binary

inputs. All inputs are opto-coupled from main power supply and R -485 interface. Occurrence

of HIGH state on particular input is signalised by green LEDs marked IN1 to IN8 (Figure 4.1).

Incrementation of counter occurs after falling edge on particular input ( input state changes

from HIGH to LOW).

User manual - MODULE SLI-8

It is essential that pulses have fulfil some time restrictions - see Figure 5.1). These

restrictions depend on settings of internal digital filter implemented in firmware. Filter allows to

eliminate signal oscillations corresponding to contacts bouncing (of mechanical sensors). Filter

is factory switched off. To ensure proper counting (it means that counter do not omit any pulse)

while filter is on duration of LOW (t0) and HIGH (t1) states must be not shorter than

F×50 s

, where F means filter setting. While filter is „off” then t0 and t1 must be not

shorter than 125 µs. ee the table below (Tab. 5.1) to check proper periods for all frequencies.

Tab. 5.1. Time periods t0 ,t1 depend on filtered frequency.

Every counter can counts up to 4 294 967 295 pulses (32 bits of data). After that value

counters start count from 0. Current states of particular counters are available in related with

them registers, and can be read via R -485 interface (see LI T OF REGI TER ). Every

single counter. It is possible to read single registers as well as multi registers in single Modbus

query. While multi register reading it is important to read values concatenate in proper pairs to

complete counters states (see example 7). Multi register readings are possible only for

registers 01h to 10h. Other registers (12h i 21h) can be read only as single registers.

Contents of particular counters can be cleared at any time. It is possible to clear single

counter ( see example 6) and all counters simultaneously (see examples 4 and 5). To clear

single counter user shout write value 0000h to any register corresponding to that counter.

This operation clears whole counter regardless of storing to higher or lower part of the counter.

To clear all counters simultaneously user should write value 000h to register 11h.

Operation of the module is signalised by flashing green LED localised on front panel and

marked RUN. Flasher of red LED (marked Tx/ERROR) signalize that some data is being

transmitted via R -485 interface.

While power off, current states of counters, filter state and device address are stored into

EEPROM memory. After power on these values are restored and counters continue count

from value stored while power off.

User manual - MODULE SLI-8

Forcing of 0xFF address

New devices has set to Modbus addresses 0xFE. To enhance system installation

process special operation mode has been developed. It allows to force address 0xFF in single

module using internal momentary switch mounted on module mainboard (Figure 4.1).

To change address of the device to FFh, wait for a moment after power up until green

LED (RUN) starts flashes. Next press and hold push-button about 4 seconds until green LED

will lights permanently, then release push-button.

The device changes its MODBU address to FFh and waits for a new address

(readdressing). Green LED (RUN) stay permanently on until readdressing via R -485, or

power off. While module is in this state it is possible to control its inputs, and communication is

possible using temporal address FFh.

At this moment MA TER controller should find new device and readdress it (to address

other than 0xFF and 0xFE). After remote readdressing green LED indicator starts to flashes

again.

Simultaneously with change of device address, baud rate is changed to 9600 bit/s.

Required transmission speed (1200 bit/s. to 115200 bit/s.) can be set by write to register 22h.

After change of transmission speed the device sends the answer with new baud rate. While

installation of the new network it is recommended to readdress all devices using baud rate

9600 bit/s, and next change speed of all devices simultaneously, using BROADCA T query

(with address 00h).

6. THE MODBUS PROTOCOL HANDLING

Transmission parameters: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity control

Baud rate: selectable from: 1200 to 115200 bits/second

Transmission protocol: MODBU RTU compatible

The device parameters and display value are available via R -485 interface, as HOLDING-

type registers (numeric values are given in U2 code) of Modbus RTU protocol. The registers

(or groups of the registers) can be read by 03h function, and wrote by 06h (single registers)

accordingly to Modbus RTU specification. Maximum group size for 03h function can not

exceeds 12 registers (for single frame).

The device interprets the broadcast messages, but then do not sends the answers.

2 - it is possible to write value 0000h - zeroing of single counter

3 - after writing to register no 20h the device responds with an “old” address in the message.

4 - after writing to register no 22h the device responds with the new baud rate.

If register 20h is being written it is possible to use BROADCA T frame (with

address 00). This operation causes changing of addresses of all modules

connected to the R -485 network. Modules receive and interprets BROADCA T

frames, but do not transmit answers.
