A terrestrial communicationsmedium is an integral part of the TPAC. The term “terrestrial” is used to differentiate thecommunication network from a “space” (satellite) network. Examples of terrestrial networksare the public switched telephone network (PSTN), public cell-based wireless packet datanetworks (DataTAC, Mobitex, GPRS, CDPD), public wired packet data networks (Datapac,the Internet) and private wired and wireless networks.The TPAC collects data from an end-device such as an RTU or PLC and passes the data to IPAnywhere using the terrestrial data network. The TPAC can communicate with numerousend-devices in the device’s native protocol via an RS-232 or RS-485 serial communicationlink. RS-422 and other physical layers are supported with converters. The TPAC providestimed reports, reports by exception and reports on demand.An I/O point is a measured or stored value in an end-device. The TPAC can read an I/Opoint using the device communications protocol. An I/O point can also be internal to theTPAC or signals on the general-purpose I/O lines on the TPAC. The TPAC stores a list ofI/O points that it needs to access.1.1 TPAC Features•The TPAC can communicate with an end device using its native protocol.•The TPAC has an integral RIM DataTAC transceiver for communications.•The TPAC can report data on a scheduled interval, real time events or on demand.•The TPAC responds to a remote “DEMAND POLL” request by reading the currentI/O values from the remote site and sending updated values to the GDN.•The I/O points and alarm set points can be edited remotely over the communicationsnetwork.•The TPAC can store I/O points in multiple poll sets. Each poll set has its own reporttime and interval and can be adjusted remotely.•The TPAC can minimize power consumption by entering a low power “sleep” mode.•The TPAC can poll RS-232 and RS485 serial end-devices for I/O points.•The TPAC can interface directly to transmitters (1-5 volts, 4-20 mA, digital) for I/O.•During a poll operation the TPAC read the I/O points from a specified poll-set. Theunit will send a report to IP Anywhere if:•A report is scheduled•An analog I/O value crosses the preset alarm limits•An analog I/O value changes by more than a preset dead band•A discrete value either changes state or transitions to a specific state

The mountingholes are spaced 93 x 180 mm. The mounting holes are 7.5 mm in diameter and theaccess holes are 11 mm in diameter. The TPAC can be mounted to a panel usingappropriate screws for the panel material.•The TPAC should be mounted with the antenna vertical on the top of the enclosure.The conduit entry/cable seal should point down.•Ensure end devices are within an acceptable distance from the TPAC.Power:•The TPAC requires 9-28 VDC to operate. Maximum current draw is 1 A.•Power is applied at the Vin and GND terminals.•The metal case of the TPAC must be grounded at one of the mounting holes.•The TPAC can put itself into a sleep mode to conserve power. The minimum dutycycle is 30 seconds per day. Current draw in sleep mode is under 1 mA.Terrestrial network:•Prior to installing a TPAC with a DataTAC communication module, check theMotient or Bell Mobility coverage map to ensure the site is in range of the network.•If the site is near the edge of coverage, a site survey may be necessary to verifycoverage and determine the optimal place to install the TPAC.•Install the TPAC so there are minimal obstructions between the TPAC and the nearestnetwork tower. Network towers are concentrated in urban centers.•There is a small green LED at the top of the TPAC printed circuit board. The LEDwill illuminate when the TPAC is in coverage of the network. The TPAC must becommissioned before the LED will function.•The TPAC displays network signal strength on the configuration port when it boots.Other Wiring:•The serial connection to the end device is made using the terminal blocks for COM2(RS232) or COM4 (RS485).•The terminal WK LN can be shorted to ground to manually wake the TPAC fromsleep mode.•The terminal +V EXT can be used to supply power to an external device. Thevoltage is the same as supplied to +V IN. Current is limited to 200 mA. The TPACcontrols whether power is available at the terminal.•The terminal DI/O can be used as a digital input or output.•Analog inputs (4-20 mA or 1-5 V) can be wired into the terminals labeled I/O1 toI/O4. Digital inputs can be wired into the I/O terminals too.•The terminal TIN1 can be used as a pulse counter, frequency counter or digital input.•Refer to the wiring diagram that is specific to the application.

The TPAC is shipped with factorydefault settings. The configuration can be modified via the communication network orlocally using a programming cable from a PC to the TPAC. A site information sheet shouldbe prepared prior to configuring the TPAC.3.1 Interfacing to a TPACA Wireless Matrix TPAC programming cable is required to configure the TPAC using a localPC. The cable is a 3-wire cable with a D9 female on one end and a 3-position Molexconnector on the other end. Connect the 3-position connector to the 3-position header (J4) onthe TPAC interface board. Connect the D9 female connector to the serial port on a PC.Start a PC terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. Specify the local serial portand set the communication parameters to 9600 bits/s, 8 data-bits, no parity, and no flowcontrol. Disconnect from the port and then reconnect to the port so the settings take affect.(See the next section for setting up HyperTerminal).Apply power to the TPAC to begin the configuration session.

The TPAC is configured using the PACcommand line interface. The PAC command line interface has a tree structure and usesminimum truncation so only letters necessary to make the command unique need to beentered. The manual shows the necessary characters in capital letters. The PAC commandline interface is not case sensitive. When the TPAC powers up, the terminal screen displaysthe firmware version, electronic serial number and the network and RTU drivers that areloaded.3.2.1 General PAC CommandsThe following list of general PAC commands:HALT – Halt execution of the PAC. This is useful when configuring the PAC.RUN – Start PAC execution.SHow – Display the entire PAC configuration.SHow PAC – Display the parameters that are applicable to the PAC application.SHow RTU – Display the parameters that are applicable to the RTU or end-device.SHow NET – Display the parameters that are applicable to the network device (Radio).HElp – List all the commands and the format for each command.WRite – Save the current configuration in non-volatile memory.REBOOT – Restart the PAC as if power was first applied. The PAC will start with theconfiguration stored in non-volatile memory. The PAC will start in RUN mode.VERsion – Display the firmware version and the loaded and available drivers. See thefollowing screen capture.

The settings are displayed as a tree ofmain settings with sub settings. To set a specific value, the complete path to the setting mustbe given.For example, to set the RTU’s baudrate, issue the command…RTU COMM BAUD <baud rate>3.2.3 Loading DriversThe default RTU driver in the PAC is Modbus. The network driver for a TPAC with aDataTAC module is Radio Access Protocol (RAP). A new RTU driver can be specified ifnecessary. This should be done before any other settings are changed. When a drivers ischanged, the PAC will reboot and set default values for the new driver. For example, typeRTU TYPE DF1 to load the DF1 driver. This will change the RTU driver to DF1, save theRTU driver and cause the PAC to reboot and restore relevant values for the DF1 driver.

The PAC can display or set time in the local time, if anoffset from GMT is defined. Define the time zone offset before setting the time.Time values are set as follows:TIme or DAte – Display the current local time or date.PAC TIMEZone <+/- minutes> – The TIMEZONE setting is in the PAC submenu so PACmust be entered before TIMEZone. Enter the time zone offset in minutes. For example, thetime in Alberta is GMT minus seven hours so enter –420. Disregard daylight savings timewhen the time zone is offset is entered. For example, in Alberta the time zone offset isalways entered as –7 hours even though the local time is only –6 hours during daylightsavings time.TIme <HH:MM:SS> – The command and format to set the time. The PAC time is set tolocal time if a time zone offset is defined. Setting the correct time is important for scheduledreports.DAte <MM:DD:YY> – The command and format to set the date in the PAC. Note theorder.

The following list ofcommands is used to configure the PAC global settings.Note: The parameters inside the brackets < > must be entered. The symbol “|” is “or” so on |off indicates “on” or “off” is entered.PAC RPTBack <on | off> – Report-back causes the PAC to send an acknowledgement backto the GDN that a message was received successfully. Recommended state of this flag isalways ON.PAC RPTMode <0:Compact| 10:GDN 11:|PSTN> – This determines the size and formatof the message. GDN (10) is used for normal operation in the TPAC and most other networkdrivers. Compact (0) is only used for the Vistar terminal to limit packet size. PSTN (11) isused for dial-up applications. Type 11 uses the PAC serial number as an encrypted passwordand identification. The serial number also used as an address when a group of PACs share anetwork connection such as multiple PACs on one IP address.PAC LOWpower <on | off> – The PAC can be set to enter a low power mode in betweenpoll and report tasks. The option is used to conserve power on a remote site.PAC TAG <0…> – The tag is set to the external serial number on the PAC label.PAC IPDelay <0…> – Inter-point delay is the number of seconds to wait between pollingsuccessive I/O points.PAC DEbug <on | off> – The PAC will show application-level messages. This is one ofseveral levels of message detail available via the PAC command line interface.PAC AWAKE <…35…> – The minimum number of seconds that the PAC is awake whenlow power is enabled.

Thedefault is ON and it should be left ON.PAC POW <0…> – Pause on wake-up. This setting delays the PAC from polling for a setamount of time in seconds. This is used to provide transmitters time to stabilize when usingthe PAC on-board I/O. This setting is also used when the communication device needs adelay to "key up" after receiving DTR.WRite – Save the current settings in non-volatile memory so they are available the next timethe PAC powers up.Version – Display the current PAC firmware version and list the drivers that are available.Note that each driver has a separate version number.RTU <open | close> – Open or close the RTU driver.ZAP – This command will erase the PAC configuration and I/O point list from non-volatilememory. The PAC will boot with a default configuration unless a WRITE command isissued before the PAC is powered down.ZAP cfg – This command only erases the configuration of the PAC.ZAP gdn – This command only erases the I/O point database list in the PAC.Poll <pid> – PAC will poll the specified poll-set <pid>.REPort <pid> – PAC will send report for the specified poll-set <pid>.DOWNLOAD – This command is used to upgrade the PAC firmware. Do not use thiscommand unless you have the tools to upgrade the PAC firmware. Cancel by command bycycling power to the PAC prior the starting the code download.3.3 I/O Point DatabaseThe PAC maintains a list of all the I/O points it needs to access. Each point can have alarmsassociated with it. See the sections on alarms. PAC version 2.1x and later can access up to340 I/O points. I/O points are usually added remotely through the GDN but points can beadded locally. Each I/O point has a list of parameters associated with it. The parametersdefine the context the PAC needs to access the I/O point correctly. Two parameters, poll-setID (PID) and index are common to all I/O points. The remaining parameters are specific tothe driver. Some I/O points are internal to the PAC.The poll-set ID is a reference number used to group I/O points. Poll and report events arebased on the poll-set ID. For example, all I/O points with poll-set id 1 are a group and willbe polled and reported together. Valid poll-set ID numbers are 1-254 (255 is reserved forinternal points).

If a new I/O pointis added with the same index as an existing I/O point, the new point will overwrite theexisting point. Valid index numbers are 1-127 and 256-1200 (128-255 are reserved for PACinternal I/O points).The following commands are used to create and modify the I/O list. The I/O list is set updifferently for each RTU Driver. See the RTU driver section for the appropriate setup. Thecommands for configuring I/O points are:GDN LIst <pid> – This command will list the I/O points in the poll-set. Valid values for<pid> are 1-255. Type "GDN LIST 255" to display the internal I/O points. Type "GDNLIST" without a number to list all the I/O points except PAC internal I/O points (PID 255).GDN ADd <pid><index><address><f1><f2><f3><f4><type> – Use this command to addor modify an I/O point. Specify a unique index to add a point. Specify the index of anexisting point to modify the point. Refer to the appropriate RTU driver section for adefinition of the <address>, <f1>, <f2>, <f3> and <f4> parameters. The <type> parametercan be one of the following: 1=discrete 2=char 3=uchar 4=int 5=uint 6=long 7=ulong 8=floatGDN REad <index> – Read the current value of the specified I/O point.GDN WRite <index> <value> – Write a new value to the specified I/O point.GDN DElete <index> – Erase the specified I/O point from the PAC.3.4 AlarmsAn alarm is a threshold value specific to an I/O point. The alarm values are stored in thePAC. If the PAC reads the value of an I/O point and determines the value has crossed thethreshold, the PAC will send an alarm-report. The alarm-report contains the values of all theI/O points in the poll-set. The PAC sends an alarm report when the value crosses into thealarm region and another report when the value crosses out of the alarm region. Alarms arenormally added remotely through IP Anywhere when a site is commissioned.Each I/O point can have 4 alarm thresholds High-High, High, Low, Low-Low and ahysterisis. Hysterisis changes the alarm threshold for an I/O point to cross out of the alarmregion. The threshold is modified by the value of the hysterisis. Hysterisis is used to preventexcessive alarm reports from an I/O value that is close to the threshold and is bouncing backand forth across the threshold.Example: A high alarm is set to 10 and the hysterisis is set to 2. If the measured value rises to11, an alarm will occur and an alarm report is sent. The I/O point will not return to normaluntil the value drops below 8. If the value drops from 11 to 9 and then returns to 11, the I/Opoint stays in alarm condition and an alarm report not sent.

Dead-band alarms are not relevant when low-power is enabled.Dead-band alarms can be added via the command line interface using the following format.GDN ALARM DB <index> <Npoints> <DB Value> – The command sets a dead-bandalarm for the specified I/O point. <DB Value> is the dead-band or change threshold.<Npoints> determines the mode of the dead band alarm as shown below:Npoints = 0 – Dead-band from last reported value. An alarm report is sent when anew I/O value differs from the last reported value by more then the dead-band.Npoints = 1 – Dead-band from last sampled value. An alarm report is sent when anew I/O value differs from the previous value by more then the dead-band.

An alarm report is sent when a newI/O value differs from the average of the previous <Npoints> values by more then thedead-band.Disable a dead-band alarm by setting the alarm dead-band value to zero.3.5 SchedulingScheduling is one of the most important features of the PAC. Two important schedulingconcepts are start time and interval time.Start Time - This is the date and time the PAC will start the event. This is usually set in thepast so the event will start immediately. It can be set in the future if necessary, but this is notrecommended.Interval time - The interval determines how frequently the PAC will execute an event,beginning from the start time.Two types of events to schedule in the PAC are polls and reports.A poll event causes the PAC to request data from an end-device. If low power is enabled thePAC will sleep in between polls to conserve power. The poll interval depends on how timecritical it is to know of changes in the data being polled versus the available power on site.A report event causes the PAC to poll for the latest values and send the values to IPAnywhere.The following commands are used to configure an event.EVENT SET <index> <type> <pid> <start> <interval> – This command will create a newevent or modify of an existing event.Index There are 16 available event records, 1 - 16 are validType Available event types arePOLL - Read IO PollsetREPORT - Read IO Pollset, andSTATUS - Request status from NET (communicator)REBOOT - Restart application.PID For POLL/REPORT events, a pollset id must be specified. ForSTATUS/REBOOT events, no PID should be given.Start The start time for the event.

The mode depends on thePLC network configuration. In half duplex mode, many PLCs may be present on thenetwork and each must be properly addressed to elicit the correct response. In full duplexmode, only one PLC is connected and the address is irrelevant. However, when the addressdoes not match the PLC station number, there are occasional pauses in the response from thePLC. Wireless Matrix recommends that the address always match the PLC station address.I/O Addressing:Almost all data within the PLC is addressable. The DF1 driver implements a standardaddress scheme to access all data. The scheme is based upon the specifications for theSLC500 series and Micrologix 1000 series. The following is the address format.

The difference lies inthe auto-time synchronization feature. Two items must be properly configured for the AFIauto-time synchronization feature to work properly.To enable the feature, a point must be added as follows.PID INDEX ADDRESS F1 F2 F3 F4 TYPE? ? ? 40000 502 0 0 (UINT)The point must also be included in a pollset, which is polled on a regular basis. It issuggested to use poll-set 2 and schedule the record to be read hourly. If ever this registerreturns with either bit0, or bit1 set (=1), a time synchronization is required and the driver willwrite the correct time to the AFI's date/time registers automatically.In order for the correct LOCAL time to be written to the AFI meter, the correct TIMEZonemust be configured in the PAC.Driver configuration is the same as Modbus.RTUTYpe AFI – Set the RTU driver to AFI.
