Case - Mounting   Case - Mounting The SCADA Central Station must be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with local regulations (NF C 15-100 in France, NEC in the U.S., etc.) The case must be installed in a fire-resistant enclosure. This enclosure must stay closed during normal operation; it is only accessible by qualified personnel and requires a key or tool to open it. The case is mounted on a standard metal DIN rail (35 mm).  The DIN rail is required to be connected to Ground; the grounding connection is carried out automatically when the case is mounted.  To remove the case from the DIN rail, the user will use a screwdriver-type tool.  If the fasteners become unfastened, the user must make sure to replace them to prevent the case from tipping (this note also applies to each I/O expansion module).    Rear view of the case  I/O expansion modules             and               Compact case    Cable sections Access Cable Min. section mm² / AWG Max. section mm² / AWG Inputs / Outputs single-core cable 0.14 / 26 1.5 / 16 stranded cable without tip 0.14 / 26 1.5 / 16 multi-strand with insulated tip DIN 46228 T4 0.14 / 26 1.0 / 17 multi-strand with non-insulated end DIN 46228 T1 0.14 / 26 1.5 / 16 Power and Battery monofilament 0.75 / 18 1.5 / 16  multi-strand without tip 0.75 / 18 1.5 / 16  multi-strand with mouthpiece DIN 46228 T4 0.75 / 18 1.0 / 17  multi-strand with non-insulated end DIN 46228 T1 0.75 / 18 1.5 / 16  With multi-strand cable: use crimping ferrules type DIN 46228 T4 or DIN 46228 T1. For the battery, use Faston crimp lugs 6.35 mm female type insulated red.  Automatic locking on DIN rail Automatic ground terminals 35 mm DIN
Case – Power supply   Case – Power supply The Compact case provides power for itself, as well for the COM modules (including the RDRTU-2 modem connected to the RS485 module) (∗). The entire unit is compatible with a 24 VDC (± 20%) supply voltage and is protected against reverse polarity. The 24 VDC power supply must be TBTS/ES1.  Power connector For the power supply, use a 0,75 mm² cross-sectional ∅ minimum.  5A fuse: Installation of a fuse is recommended on the Battery input.  • +  or Battery Input • –  or Battery Ground • +24 VDC • 0V or GND If there is no 24 VDC source in the electrical control panel, it is necessary to use a "24 VDC" converter box According to the RTU hardware configuration, 2 references are available (refer to the power balance table):   • 40 W (60°C MAX) • 90 W (70°C MAX)  The device's isolating mechanism is the ‘24 VDC + backup battery’ power connector. Switch the case and the I/O modules off before removing or adding COM modules.  Powering the I/O modules The I/O modules have a separate 24 Vdc power supply, independent of the compact case: it is not backed up by the battery.  Simply connect a single I/O module to a 24 VDC power source (according to the power balance); this power source automatically propagates to other installed modules.  The device's isolating mechanism is the ‘24 VDC’ power connector. Switch the case off before removing or adding I/O modules.  Backup battery The power supply to the case can be backed up with a 12 VDC lead battery, either 4 Ah or 12 Ah.  A periodic battery capacity test is performed automatically. The RTU manages the charge and performs continuous self-testing of the external battery: • Protection against overloads • Automatic shut-off in the event of a short-circuit  • Protection against reverse polarity. • Battery detection. • Protection against deep discharges (threshold at 10.2 V).  When powering via backup battery, the voltage must be at least 12 V ±200 mV to start up;  When the product has started, its operating range is between 10.2 V and 13.8 V. Furthermore, when the RTU power supply is voluntarily cut off for a long period (typically 48 hours or more), it is necessary to disconnect the battery to prevent deep discharge and premature wear. Powering via solar panels 24V solar panel controllers are connected directly to the GND and +24 VDC terminals.  Use of SunSaver controllers is recommended: contact our technical sales department to ensure selection of the appropriate controller type (6, 10 or 20) and sizing of the solar panel according to the geographic location of installation. Make sure to follow the recommended installation indicated in the manual provided with the controller: assembly in vertical position, execution of the connections in ascending order of the terminal strips 1 to  6 on the diagram opposite (battery, solar panel, then the RTU last), position of the jumper for the use of an open battery, etc.     24 V panel A 24 V battery or 2 X 12 V batteries (in series) 3A fuse (∗): Only available in countries where 869MHz frequency is allowed, check with country’s regulations.
Case - Inputs/Outputs   Case - Inputs/Outputs Connection of DIs  Example for 2 DIs:           Technical specifications -  Number of digital inputs: 16   -  Contact type: Dry self-powered contact: Normally open/ closed  (configurable positioning logic) -  Maximum length of cable: 1,000 metres (AWG24 SYT+ cable type) It is necessary to relay the digital inputs if the cable length is any higher   or if the cable crosses an environment with high interference. -  Digital input filtering: Any steady state digital input can be used for the counter acquisition;  the minimum duration of the steady state is 2 ms (max frequency = 250 Hz) -  Isolation: The DIs are isolated from the rest of the electronics; the isolation voltage  is 3000 VDC minimum. The DIs are not isolated from each other.      Cable for  digital inputs 1 pair  for digital input no. 1  1 pair  for digital input no. 2 DI terminal strip: Possible applications: Pulse counters Duration counters Digital input loop: Normally closed Digital input loop: Normally open  1 shared for 4 digital inputs
Case - Inputs/Outputs   Connection of AIs (4-20mA)  Only sensors with floating output delivering a current source free from any reference with respect to Ground and, in all cases, several sources having no common point between them, are directly compatible with our materials.  Otherwise, the installer must provide a galvanic isolation device in the ‘RTU – Sensor’ link.  Installation of surge arresters:  All SOFREL sensors come with inbuilt surge protection. However, if the ‘RTU – Sensor’ link cable runs outside of building or extends a significant length (> 200 metres), a 4-20 mA surge arrester should be installed on the RTU side.    Example for 2 AIs, ‘4-20 mA’:     Technical specifications -  Number of ANA inputs:  4 in measuring current 4-20 mA   -  Type: -  Precision: 0.1% (25°C) -  Resolution: 16 bits  -  Remote power feeding: -  2 sensors per remote power feed -  Voltage = 16V ± 10 % -  Protection current = 50 mA (maximum for 1 or 2 inputs) -  Input impedance: -  100 Ω      S4W AI 4-20mA cable Sensor       Wiring a surge arrester  AI terminal strip: 1 pair for ANA input no.1 (Case for remotely powered sensor) 1 pair for ANA input no. 2 (Case for autonomous sensor) 1 pair  for ANA input no. 1 1 pair  for ANA input no. 2 Sensor, 4-20 mA
Case - Inputs/Outputs   Connection of DOs DOs are 12 V / 24 V AC/DC ’very low voltage’ voltage-relay type digital outputs: they are compatible with 24 V relays and control panel indicator lights. By default, and following a total power cut (24V and Battery), DOs are in their 'open' state (idle state = 0). In case of product reinitialisation, the state of each DO is retained (no forced return to the idle state).  The user defines the ‘bistable’ or ‘impulse’ control type when configuring each DO data point. When a DO is configured to control the ‘Watchdog safety’ feature; this output is reinitialised according to inverse logic (the output is in the closed state if no default; it switches to the open state if a default is present). This 'Watchdog' output is very useful for controlling power supply and for the proper functioning of the RTU (see § ‘Data processing – Operational safety’).   The DO do not allow direct control of power units.   Example of control of 2 DC relays by 2 DO:      Technical specifications  -  Number of DO:  -  4 in alternating current (AC) and/or direct current (DC) -  Output type: -  free from all potential -  Maximum switching voltage:  -  24 V AC/DC +20% (40 V peak) -  Continuous current: -  150 mA -  Isolation: -  1500 VRMS between the DO and the control case    1 pair for the DO no.1 1 pair for the DO no.2 DC relay        DC relay DO terminal strip:
Case – Indicator lights and USB ports   Case – Indicator lights and USB ports 3 indicator lights display the operating status of the RTU:     GREEN • Case power supply (light on if OK)  WHITE • Communication with the Centralised System (light on if connection OK)  RED • General system operation (light off if OK)   On the front-face, the USB port, type B (printer), connects to the configuration PC.    UNDER THE CASE, the second USB port connects to the S4 Display.  S4-Display connection The S4 Display must be flush mounted and facing forward in the control panel.   • Dimensions: • Front part = 170.4 × 106.8 × 7.5 mm  • Depth of the rear part = 41.7 mm • Dimensions of the flush-mounting area = 160.7 x 93 mm • Maximum thickness of the receiving panel = 5.5 mm       • Rear view: • Connection of 24V and LAN TERMINAL STRIPS    Black    Red  Prepare a free space of 100 mm around the display (above, below, behind), 50 mm on the sides.  Cable length = 2 metres Ethernet USB adapter 2 m Ethernet cable
Case - Ethernet Connection   Case - Ethernet Connection The RTU connects to the Ethernet network via the RJ45 connector accessible underneath the case.     Ethernet network connector (LAN):  It is possible to connect either a straight-through or crossover cable.   2 lights underneath the case indicate the network connection status: Indicator On Off blinking -  Yellow Active Ethernet link Inactive Ethernet link Transmitting and/or receiving data -  Green 100 Mb/s network speed 10 Mb/s network speed or isolated line
Case - GSM Connection   Case - GSM Connection The compact case comes standard with a 2G/3G-compatible GSM modem: the RTU thereby communicates in GSM-IP with its recipients (SCADA Central Station, Inter-RTU with other remote units, PC S4W-Tools, Email recipient) and in SMS.  Operation Communications Frequency Bands (in MHz) -  3G UMTS/HSDPA B1 = 2100, B2 = 1900, B5 = 850, B6 = 800, B8 = 900, B19 = 800 -  2G GSM/GPRS/EDGE B3 = 1800, B5 = 850, B8 = 900, B25 = 1900 The 2G/3G modem does not provide any insulation; the antenna must therefore be put inside the building where the S4W is installed. Otherwise, make sure to use an appropriate isolation device.  The GSM external antenna is the ‘Penta-band’ type (2G/3G compatible). The SMA female connector is used to connect the ’0 dB’ ¼-wave GSM antenna.  (Tightening torque: 0.4 Nm max).           Make sure the RTU is switched off before inserting the SIM card.   Accessing the micro SIM card Inserting and removing the micro SIM card is done on the left side of the case, by pressing on the bottom of the connector with the contacts facing the rear of the case, until there is a locking click. To insert the micro SIM card, open the flap on the left side of the case: this action does not require removing any communication modules or disconnecting any I/O cables.  The bracket allows the antenna to be mounted vertically on a metal ground plane: This metal plane is necessary only when a ¼-wave GSM antenna is used. 4-metre GSM antenna cable Micro SIM MicroSD
I/O Expansion modules   I/O Expansion modules The RTU can be equipped with I/O expansion modules (10 modules max.) to expand its input-output capabilities.  The types of available I/O modules are:  • 16DI • 8DO • 8AI-mA • 8AI-T° • 8AO      Powering the I/O modules The I/O modules have a separate 24 Vdc power supply, independent of the compact case; this power supply is not backed up by the battery.  A single I/O module must be powered by a minimum 500 mA source; this power source automatically propagates to other installed modules. The green LED indicates that the supply voltage is present; the module type and its physical location are automatically detected by the software.    Switch the case and the I/O modules off before removing or adding I/O modules.   Mounting Each module snaps in easily on the right side of the case and must be mounted on the DIN rail (I/O modules cannot be remotely deported from the main case).    The DIN rail must be connected to Ground; the Ground terminal connection is carried out by mounting the casing. If the fasteners on the DIN rail become unfastened, the user must make sure to replace them to prevent the module from tipping over.   Handling 1°/ Use the screwdriver to turn the bolt that attaches the module to the DIN rail, 2°/ Press the button on the front side to disengage the expansion module from the main panel or from another module.   Example case with 2 I/O modules L =20.5 mm wide Disconnect button for each module. Mounting bolt on the DIN rail.

8AI-mA Expansion Module   8AI-mA Expansion Module Connection of AIs (4-20mA)  This type of AI is a ‘4-20mA Current’ measurement input. Only sensors delivering a current source free from any reference with respect to Ground and, in all cases, several sources having no common point between them, are directly compatible with our materials (‘floating’ output).  Otherwise, the installer must provide a galvanic isolation device in the ‘RTU – Sensor’ link.  Installation of surge arresters:  All SOFREL sensors come with inbuilt surge protection. However, if the ‘RTU – Sensor’ link cable runs outside of building or extends a significant length (> 200 metres), a 4-20 mA surge arrester should be installed on the RTU side.

RADIO RDRTU-2 communication module   Technical specifications  (∗) -  Receiver sensitivity: - 118 dBm -  Antenna position: -  Place the antenna as high as possible, in a non-enclosed space (if possible outside of a building), and in an area sufficiently distanced from any other antenna or metallic mass.  -  RDRTU-2 module: -  Mounting bracket: allows the module to be offset at a high point near the antenna to improve the reception level; it can be either screwed onto the antenna mast or attached to a vertical surface. -  For the ‘RDRTU-2 – RS485’ link: Use a ‘2-pair’ cable with a shielded pair (D+,D-) and 1.5 mm² cross-section, with reinforced, flexible and waterproof sheath. -  The maximum length of the cable for offsetting the module is 50 metres.  -  The RDRTU-2 module must not be powered with any other source than the Remote Terminal Unit.  -  Frequency and Power: -  3 configurable frequency channels: • 869.475 MHz • 869.525 MHz • 869.575 MHz  -  4 user-defined transmission powers: • 16 dBm/40 mW • 21 dBm/125 mW • 24 dBm/250 mW • 27 dBm/500 mW  ( ∗)  ( ∗): ‘27 dBm/500 mW’ power is reserved for use with a low-gain antenna. -  Antenna types:   We offer 3 types of high-gain antenna in order to optimise transmission depending on the application and the relief of the terrain (a high-gain antenna enables better reception and lower transmission power):  High-gain antennas Transmission power   +13 dBi/+11 dBd  +8 dBi/+6 dBd   +5 dBi/+3 dBd • 16 dBm • 21 dBm • 24 dBm ( ∗): on some types of antennas, the gain is specified in dBd (dBd = dBi - 2). Terms of use of license-free radio  EN 300 220-1 standard:  • The EN 300 220-1 standard defines a maximum ‘Duty Cycle’ (1)  fixed at 6 minutes per hour and per transmitting device.  • The user must therefore verify that the Inter-RTU Radio link configured on the RDRTU-2  modem complies with this time.  The hourly duty cycle of the RDRTU-2 modem frequency is:  proportional to the number of defined periodic blocks on all communicating devices of the link, with a maximum transmission time of 2.5 sec per block,  proportional to the number of cycles per hour and is a function of the ‘Silence between cycle’ and/or ‘silence between communicating devices’ configurations. In practice, we can evaluate this silence time in seconds as:  'Silence between cycle’ = ‘silence between interlocutors’ = ‘Number of blocks x 25’  In some countries, usage of this frequency range may have restrictions; for more information, please consult your local telecommunications regulatory body. (1) Definition of ‘Duty Cycle’: Purpose of the duty cycle limit is to ensure that no application can occupy a frequency range for more than a certain percentage of time. The duty cycle defines a maximum percentage of time (expressed as a percentage over any period of time that a modem is allowed to transmit). Duty cycle limitation must be controlled by the terminal equipment connected to the modem. Contact LACROIX Sofrel’s Technical Department for your duty cycle calculations.
