Scadaflex II - A brief hardware tour

Scadaflex II SC1 controllers include . . .

Ethernet Port -

a high-speed communications port that can be used for:

• configuration and programming by built-in web pages

• a graphical fully-animated configurable web HMI

• display and retrieval of historical trending and event log data

• e-mail and text message alarming

• communications with PLCs and other "smart" devices via Modbus, Ethernet IP or SDX

• custom programming

• backup and restoration of configuration/programming

Local Wi-Fi Hotspot option -

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers support an external local Wi-Fi access point. This is especially useful when customers want to use IPADs and other tablets and phones for local web page access.

A DIP switch above the Ethernet RJ-45 connector is used to source power over the Ethernet cable (Power over Ethernet or POE) to power a POE enabled Access Point.

Serial Port -

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers include a dual-function serial port (RJ-45 connector) with RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. As an option, the serial port may be ordered in an RS-485/RS-422 (4-wire) configuration. The serial port may be used to communicate with PLCs or other smart devices using Modbus,

DF1 (Allen Bradley), SNP (GE) or SDX.

Local I/O -

Scadaflex II SC-1 Controllers come with a mix of analog and digital inputs and outputs. There are four high-resolution analog inputs and two analog outputs built-in, expandable with I/O expansion modules to over 500 analog inputs and outputs. There are a total of fourteen digital inputs, two of which can measure pulse rates and totalize pulses up to 10KHz. There are two solid-state electronically protected digital outputs. The digital inputs and outputs can be expanded to over 500 points.

Trending Memory -

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers have a micro SD card memory socket. All historical trending data is recorded to this card. A 16 GB micro SD card provides sufficient storage for recording 30 years of 63 trending points, providing a huge saving over both paper and paperless chart recorders. Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers also have event logging functionality which records data to the internal disk drive. Only trending data is recorded to the micro SD card. If the card is not installed, only the historical trending function is disabled.

LCD HMI option

- Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers can be ordered with a local

LCD display and keypad. The display can be configured to display (and be individually configured to be changeable from the keypad) up to 50 different variables (registers) in the controller. The display has a scan mode and individual registers may be included in a list of variables to be

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

10

sequentially displayed automatically on the LCD. The backlight is configurable to turn OFF after a specified time of lack of keypad actvity for power optimization.

900Mhz Meshing Radio option

- Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers can include an internal 1/4W 900MHz meshing spread spectrum radio that enables them to communicate a mile or more between controllers and wireless remote I/O with the supplied antennas (depending on elevation above grade and terrain), or further with fancier antenna systems. Each radio can automatically act as a repeater (no manual configuration is required) to extend a network of radios over a distance of several miles. The network is “self healing”. If one unit becomes unavailable as a repeater, the system will automatically try to establish another radio path.

Cellular Modem option

- Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers can include an internal 3G or 4G cellular modem providing web interfacing, Internet access, long distance remote I/O support, and high-speed data communications over distances that are not practical to achieve by radio. The internal cellular modem supports both text messaging (for alarming, HMI and small data transfers) and data modes (for web page interaction and larger data transfers).

AC Power option

- Scadaflex II SC-1 Controllers can be ordered with a built-in 120/240Vac AC power option.

The supply provides up to 10 watts of 24Vdc power to the controller and external equipment. Approximately

6 watts (250mA) of power is available to power external devices.

Battery Backup option

- Scadaflex II SC-1 Controllers can be ordered with a built-in lithium battery backup option good for over 12 to 16 hours of operation without external power (battery life depends on system configuration).

Installation

Enclosure

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller is housed in a 4”W x 8”H x 3”D (approximately) UV resistant polycarbonate enclosure. The enclosure is rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. A ¾” conduit hole is machined into the bottom of the enclosure.

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

12

Mounting

Mounting hardware is supplied with the Scadaflex II

SC-1 controller to simplify mounting to a wall, backboard, panel or post. This hardware consists of brackets that attach to the back of the enclosure.

A mounting hole template is pictured on the right.

Although the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller is rated for operation in temperatures from

-40 o

C to 70 o

C, electronics and batteries have a longer life in moderate temperatures (the optional backup battery is rated down to -

20 o

C). Consider shading the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller in hot environments and avoid extremely low temperatures (below freezing) for maximum performance.

Communications Wiring - General

The Scadaflex II SC-1 Controller has a 10/100 Ethernet port and a combined RS-232/RS-485 serial port. The serial port is also available as an RS-485/RS-422 (4-wire) port as an option. Both the Ethernet port and the serial port utilize RJ-45 modular jack connectors.

A switch located just above the Ethernet connector enables the incoming power to be supplied to POE

(Power-Over-Ethernet) devices. Up is POE ON.

All communications wiring is brought into the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller through the 3/4" conduit entry at the bottom of the enclosure.

Communications Wiring – Ethernet and POE

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller has a standard high-speed 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet interface.

The RJ-45 Ethernet jack includes two LED status lights. The left hand GREEN

LED is the “LINK” indicator. The right hand ORANGE LED is the “ACTIVITY” indicator.

LINK LED –

Illuminates when the controller senses that it is connected to another Ethernet device.

LINK ACT

ACTIVITY LED –

Flashes ON when a message is passed.

Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) Configuration

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller can be configured to supply the controller’s incoming DC power to devices that are plugged into its Ethernet port. The POE switch, when turned ON, connects the incoming controller power (+VEXT) to four Ethernet pins on the RJ-45 Ethernet connector as follows:

Function Pins

+VEXT 4, 5

Gnd 7, 8

The POE circuitry is fuse protected by the main incoming power fuse for the controller (2A fuse in lower right-hand corner). A high current draw will open the fuse which in turn will power OFF the controller. The POE device must not draw more than 500mA for normal operation.

An example of a POE device is the Wi-Fi Access Point that is offered as an option for the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller. The Access Point gets its data and power via a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.

To enable POE operation, set the POE switch (located above the

Ethernet connector), to the UP position (ON). Many devices such as laptop computers are not be compatible with POE, so the POE option must be switched OFF (switch in DOWN position) in these cases.

Be careful if you enable the POE (Power-Over-

Ethernet) switch. Many Ethernet devices including laptop computers and most Ethernet switches

ARE

NOT

compatible with POE and may be damaged if plugged into an Ethernet connector with live power.

Communications Wiring – Serial Port

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller has a combined RS-232/RS-485 serial port. Alternatively, the port may be ordered as a combined RS-485/RS-422 (4-wire) interface. The serial port connector is an RJ-45 modular jack.

The RJ-45 Ethernet connector includes two LED status lights. The left hand GREEN LED is the Transmit Data indicator. The right hand ORANGE LED is the Receive Data indicator.

The serial port pin assignments are shown below. The wire colors shown are the “normal” colors used for most Ethernet cables which are low-cost and convenient to use and modify as serial cables.

The RS-485 interface has a built-in series termination circuit that illuminates the need for termination resistors for all but the longest RS-485 wiring runs. We recommend NOT using a termination resistor for cable lengths under 1000 ft.

RS-232 Cabling

By using an RJ-45 “Ethernet” style jack for the serial port connections in the Scadaflex

II SC-1 controller, low-cost Ethernet cables and DB-9 adapters can be used to easily fabricate serial communications cables in the field without soldering or crimping. A typical RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter is pictured on the right.

Optically Isolated Discrete Inputs Wiring

The twelve optically isolated Discrete Inputs support AC or DC input signals of either polarity. They can also be configured to support contact closures using the controller’s power supply or external AC or DC power for

"wetting" current. An ON is an input of 9V or more. An OFF is an input of 3V or less. Levels between 3V and

9V are not defined and should be avoided for reliable operation.

High-speed Pulse Inputs Wiring

The two high-speed Pulse Inputs are discrete inputs that support contact closures, "open collector" or "open drain" devices, and DC voltages up to 30Vdc. Both high-speed inputs can totalize pulses and compute their input frequency such as required by flow meters. An ON is a closed contact to ground (Gnd) or an input voltage of less than 1Vdc. An OFF is an open contact or an input voltage greater than 2Vdc. Levels between

1Vdc and 2Vdc are not defined and should be avoided for reliable operation.

Typical sensor output configurations and how they connect to the Scadaflex SC-1 controller or shown in the diagram on the right.

Input devices must pull down to or switch to ground or pull down below 1Vdc for an "ON condition, and switch high or pull up above 2Vdc for an "OFF" condition.

Wiring – Discrete Outputs

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller has four solid-state “open drain” protected FET Discrete Outputs. The outputs are capable of switching 1A loads (each) up to 30Vdc. They are electronically protected against inductive transients, over-current faults and thermal overloads. The outputs are designed to have one side of their loads connected to the plus side of a 12 or 24Vdc supply (negative side of supply connected to a

“ground” terminal on the controller). The outputs switch the other side of the loads to ground.

Analog Inputs Wiring

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller has four analog inputs. By default, the inputs are supplied configured for

20mA sensors, although the controllers can be ordered to support voltage inputs as an option. Loop power for the sensors can be supplied by either an external loop supply, or by the +VA terminals on the controller.

The +VA terminal power can be set to switch ON only during measurements for low power applications so that the loops are only powered when the sensor level is being measured. This can significantly reduce power consumption for solar powered and other power sensitive applications.

Sensor Wiring

Process Sensors are available in three basic types; 2-wire or loop powered, 3-wire, and self-powered.

Loop powered sensors

are two-wire devices that connect between a positive supply and the analog input. These are typically devices that provide a 4mA to 20mA signals to represent measurement values.

3-wire sensors

connect between ground and the analog input, with a third wire going to a supply voltage. Three wire sensors frequently consume more power than 2-wire sensors. If you are going to power 3-wire sensors from +VA, be sure to check that the power requirements of all sensors together do not exceed a total load current of 100mA. Consider powering 3-wire sensors from an external DC power supply, possibly the same one that powers the controller.

Self Powered sensors

have their own power source (many are AC powered) with separate signal and ground connections that connect to the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller terminals.

The

+VA

terminals provide regulated +15V loop or sensor power whose level is independent of the controller input power supply. The loop/sensor power can be configured so that it is supplied only when the analog readings are taking place, and turned off when not actually needed.

2-wire (loop powered) sensors

can be powered from the switched analog power terminal (+VA) or from an external supply. The sensor is a 20mA device. Note the polarity of the sensor connections with the negative lead connected to the analog input terminal.

The power draw of the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller during normal operation ranges from 0.5 watts to 3.5 watts depending on the units configuration. There is a fairly high turn-on surge requirement though that may affect some power supplies on initial power-up. The recommended power supply rating is typically 60W or more if the surge response characteristics of the power supply is not known.

Wiring – External AC Power Option

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller can be powered from an elevated AC power source when ordered with the

AC Power Option, and accepts an input voltage of 90 to 305Vac (120/240Vac nominal).

The AC Power Option supplies 24Vdc power to the controller, and also has an auxiliary 24Vdc output to provide up to 0.25A of DC power to external equipment. The input and output terminals are removable.

The AC Power Option is installed in the lower portion of the Scadaflex II SC-1 enclosure and secured with a retaining screw as shown below.

DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE OTHER THREE SCREWS (circled in white). These hold the protective safety shield on the bottom of the AC Power Supply Option circuit board.

It may be necessary to temporarily dismount the AC Power Option to access terminals below it, such as the analog inputs. To do so, simply unscrew the retaining screw and lift out the module. Be sure to replace the screw when reinstalling the module.

Trending Memory Micro SD Card

The Scadaflex II SC-1 Controller can record up to 63 "channels" or

"pens" of sensor measurements and other data over a period of many years. The trending functionality utilizes a micro SD memory card (user supplied) similar to those used in many cell phones. Trending in the

Scadaflex II SC-1 controller can replace many mechanical and electronic chart recorders, saving tens of thousands of dollars.

The micro SD card must be installed in the socket indicated in the picture on the right in order to use the trending feature.

The micro SD card should only be inserted or removed with power OFF. This incudes the battery power on units with the backup battery option.

Micro SD cards come in a variety of speeds, identified as a

“Class” value. ICL recommends using an SD card with at least a Class 10 rating ( 48MB/s or faster ). Slower cards will affect the retrieval performance of historical trend data.

While many different brands of micro SD cards will work, we recommend using

Sandisk Ultra series cards. These are the cards that we test and certify performance with. These cards have an operating temperature rating of -25oC to

+85oC, a 10 year warranty, and are readily available.

In the Scadaflex II SC-1 Controller, trending data is recorded at a sampling rate of 1 second or 8 seconds (slow mode). Depending on the selected sampling rate, the approximate storage times for common micro SD memory card sizes, and the recommended Sandisk part numbers are shown in the table below.

When a new micro SD card is installed in a Scadaflex II SC-1 Controller, or if you wish to erase and start over using a card that is already installed, you must format it. The easiest way to do this is to go to the bottom of the

CONFIGURATION | MAINTENANCE | SYSTEM

page and click on the “Format SD Card” button.

You can verify that the micro SD card is properly installed and formatted on the MAINTENANCE page:

When you have trending enabled, the total trending capacity (for the selected recording rate and card size) and the trending space that has been used is shown at the bottom of the user HOME page.

Battery Backup Option

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller can be ordered with a built-in battery backup option which allows the controller to keep running for up to 16 hours (depending on options and loads) when external input power is lost. The battery backup option uses a rechargeable

Lithium battery which is installed in a socket located along the lefthand side of the controller. The battery should be charged with an external charger if the battery voltage drops to 4.0 volts or less

(battery voltage can be “mapped” to a register on the

CONFIGURATION | I/O CONFIG

page). If the battery powers the controller through a power failure of more than an a couple of hours, you will want to recharge the battery with an external charger (designed specifically for a type 18650 lithium battery) so that the system is not vulnerable to another longer-term power failure.

Use a charger specifically designed for an 18650 type lithium battery.

The Scadaflex II SC-1 Battery Backup Option comes with a 3.4AH (typical) lithium battery with protection circuitry.

The battery must be a Panasonic model

NCR18650B.

Do not substitute this battery

. Installing any other battery may cause permanent damage to the controller and runs the risk of starting a fire.

If you do replace the battery, dispose of the old battery properly according to local regulations as it is considered hazardous waste in most locations.

Do not ship the Scadaflex II SC-1 Controller with the battery installed. Always install the battery on-site when external power is connected and available.

Performance of the backup battery is significantly affected by the ambient temperature.

Operation below room temperature will provide shorter battery backup times as shown by the chart on the left. The minimm operating temperature is 20 o

C.

The controller will operate with battery voltage down to 3.0 volts.

Antenna Installation and Considerations

The Scadaflex II Controller comes with omni-directional whip antennas when internal radio or cellular modem options are ordered with the controller. The antennas screw into sealed connectors at the top of the enclosure. The antenna connectors are polarity encoded; RPSMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) for 900Mhz meshing radio, and SMA for the cellular modem. The antennas are rated for both indoor and outdoor operation.

Meshing Radio antenna

- The supplied antennas are appropriate for radio ranges of up to about a mile depending on the elevation of the SC-1 controller enclosure. If the enclosure is only mounted at about eye level, the typical performance is about 0.6 miles over flat unobstructed terrain in low interference environments. Mounting the enclosure at about 12 ft. or on a slight rise will increase the range to about 1 mile. Keep in mind that other nearby radio signal sources will degrade radio system performance. Be especially aware of nearby cellular towers, municipal VHF and UHF radio systems (such as police and fire), as well as TV and radio broadcast antennas.

To achieve longer distances, a higher gain and higher elevation antenna may be installed and wired into the SMA connector. As a rule of thumb, the higher the antenna elevation, the better the radio performance. The optimum antenna elevation for a specific application should be determined by a software-based radio path study based on site GPS coordinates. Contact ICL technical support if you would like help determining the optimum configuration for an external antenna system.

Cellular Modem antenna

- Although less frequently required, an external antenna system can be used in areas with weak cellular performance. Since a SCADA system is typically stationary, a directional antenna can be pointed at the nearest cellular tower to improve link strength and quality. Contact ICL technical support if you would like help determining the optimum configuration for an external antenna system.

External Antenna System Configuration

When a more advanced antenna system is used with the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller, but sure to:

Use a lightning arrestor and be sure that it is properly grounded (dedicated ground rod)

Use low-loss antenna cables. LMR-195 is recommended for internal cables (from SC-1 controller to lightning arrestor). LMR-400 is strongly recommended for exterior cables (from lightning arrestor to antenna.

Be sure to weatherproof all exterior connectors after fully testing the system

Keep in mind that the 900Mhz radio system uses meshing technology, so any unit that is to be a repeater should be "reachable" by the other units that may utilize it. You may utilize more omnidirectional antennas in your system design. Cellular systems will typically use directional antennas aimed at the nearest cellular tower.

High-quality compatible pre-tested antenna system components are available from Industrial Control

Links and can be ordered as a "ready-to-install" kit shipped with your Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers.

Cellular Option Provisioning - General

When a Scadaflex II SC-1 controller is ordered with an internal cellular modem, it must be “provisioned”; registering it with a cellular carrier in order to be put into service. One of three different modems are installed, depending on the cellular carrier that you want to use and the type of system that they have:

HSPA+

EV-DO

Used by AT&T, T-Mobile, and nearly all International carriers

Used by Verizon and Sprint. There are separate modems for either carrier

The cellular modems provided with the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller are designed for 3G and 4G data and text messaging operation, but how they can be used is determined by how the account is set up with the cellular carrier. Generally, plans with data are billed in tiers by the number of megabytes allotted per month, and overage charges are assessed when actual usage exceeds the monthly allotment. Text messaging normally is billed as a base rate plus some amount per text message (incoming or outgoing).

Unlimited data and text messaging plans may also be available from your carrier so that there is no risk of facing overage charges.

Controllers ordered with an HSPA+/GSM/GPRS cellular modem (used by AT&T, T-Mobile, and most systems outside of the United States) must have a SIM card supplied by the carrier and installed in a socket on the modem. EVDO cellular modems (used by Verizon and Sprint) are registered by providing the carrier with an electronic serial number (“MEID number”) and performing a “programming” initialization operation at installation time.

Cellular Option Provisioning – AT&T, T-Mobile, International

If you are going to use your system with a carrier that uses HSPA+ (

AT&T, T-Mobile or International

), then the carrier will provide a SIM card to be installed in a socket on the modem in the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller. Follow this procedure to install the SIM card and setup the controller to use it.

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller requires a

“standard size” SIM card (not “mini” or

“micro”)

STEP 1 - Power down

– Remove power from your controller.

If your controller has battery backup, temporarily remove the lithium backup battery.

STEP 2 - Fully Expose the SIM card socket

– If your controller has an LCD HMI option, you will need to temporarily remove it to access the SIM card on the cell modem. To do so, loosen but save the nylon retaining screw.

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

30

STEP 3 - SIM card installation

– With the cell modem fully exposed, you will see the SIM card socket towards the top of the modem. The SIM card plugs into the right hand side with the gold contacts on the card facing the modem (you should be able to read the writing on the card) and the notched corner should be oriented to the upper right-hand side. Be sure that the SIM card is fully seated as shown.

STEP 4 - Re-install the LCD HMI

– If your controller had an optional LCD HMI, re-install it with the side tab slipping into the support slots on either side. Be careful to properly align the 5-pin connector that plugs into the main board. Carefully and gently tighten the nylon retaining screw until barely snug.

STEP 5 - Apply Power and Log In

– Apply power and re-install the backup battery if you removed it earlier.

Log into the controller’s main user web page. The default IP address from the factory is

192.168.237.199

It should look something like this:

It may take up to a minute or two to get an

“OK” Cell Tower Link

Status and Cell RSSI. For reliable operation, it is preferable to have an

RSSI of -100dB or better.

Depending on how the

SIM card was set up, you may or may not have a telephone number under “Our Cell #” If yours is just blank, proceed to STEP 6, otherwise you’re ready!

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

31

STEP 6 - Programming Visible Telephone #

– Many times, the SIM card that the cell carrier gives to you will not be programmed with a readable phone number (a readable phone number is not required to have the SIM card work). The system still knows your number; it’s just not showing it from the SIM card. If you want to program the telephone number to be visible from the SIM card, you can do so from a Scadaflex II web page.

Go to:

CONFIGURATION | MAINTENANCE | CELL MONITOR

In the space provided, enter the telephone number (without punctuation) and click on program.

Go back to the user HOME page to verify that the telephone number is displayed.

32

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

33

To successfully activate on a cellular network, you MUST be on the carriers own network (not roaming). If you may be installing this system outside the actual carriers coverage area, make sure that you do the activation ahead of time before going out into the field!

STEP 3 -

In the window on the left of the page, you will see messages like:

#OTASP: 0

#OTASP: 1

#OTASP: 2

interspersed with other message traffic. You will then see a “NO CARRIER” message.

This process will take several MINUTES! If it doesn’t seem to work the first time, there is no harm in doing it again, but be patient and give it a little time.

STEP 3 – Verify that you’re up

Go to the User Home page. Verify that you see a telephone number

Cellular Option – Text Messaging Configuration

Cellular Text Messaging can be used for three purposes in the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller:

HMI

- As an HMI interface (user interface) that enables a user to access information in the controller and optionally make setpoint and other setting changes from their cell phone. Access can be password protected and limited to “friendly” cellular telephone numbers.

Alarming

– Text messaging can be used to send both SMS and e-mail alarms

Communications

– Text messaging can be used to send data between ICL controllers and RTUs.

Regardless of the usage, almost every transaction requires at least two text messages. For example, when used as an HMI, the user texts a request or command and the system responds. Longer responses

(multiple variables) may span multiple text messages.

For alarms, an alarm is sent out to a group of users, and at least one person normally responds to acknowledge the alarm. Then, a message is sent out to all people currently on call to tell them that the alarm was acknowledged and who did it.

For data communications, a command is sent to send or receive data and the unit responds. Since text messages are limited to about 140 characters, some transactions may span additional text messages.

Most cellular carriers charge for each text message or have a certain monthly allowance after which there is a per text message charge. Some carriers though do offer unlimited text messaging as part of some of their plans. In the United States and Canada, unlimited plans are available “off-the-rack” ranging from $10 to $25 per month. Per text message plans tend to start at about 0.01 per message.

Text Messaging Setup

Most of the basic configuration for Text Messaging is done under

CONFIGURATION | COMMUNICATIONS

| CELLULAR

(shown below). Items specific to HMI, alarming and communications are set up in their own specific sections and are covered in detail in the

Scadaflex II Configuration Manual

, available on the

.

This page is only visible and accessible if an internal cellular modem

(option) is installed.

35

Text Mode Enable

This setting enables or disables the processing of incoming HMI text messages. This is primarily a security type setting that prevents remote text message access to the controller if you wish to limit it or open it up. The factory default setting is OFF.

SDX Slave Enable

SDX is the protocol used by ICL controllers and RTUs to communicate with each other. The protocol provides data encryption (AES-128) to secure data transfers since text messaging only permits the transfer of “readable” ASCII text characters. Encryption makes the messages look like gibberish until the receiving unit decrypts them.

Old Message Timeout (M)

Occasionally, text messages can get “hung up” within a cellular system so that their delivery can be significantly delayed. If the text message is a control command (either as an HMI action or by protocol communications), you may not want the controller to take action on the command if it arrives hours or days late. This setting limits how late a control command can be and still be accepted.

SMS Messages from Known Contacts Only

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller can have a list (address book) of up to 32 known contacts. The list is maintained under the Alarming Section (

CONFIGURATION | ALARMING | ADDRESS BOOK

). If this box is checked, SMS messages will only be accepted from contacts in that Address Book.

Rcv’d Message Timestamp Offset (H)

Cellular carriers timestamp messages to the controller. Some cellular carriers report the time as local time while others (such as Verizon) report GMT time. Some systems are also on time zone borders so that the controller may talk to a tower across a time zone boundary. This parameter can be used to correct for this situation. For example, on Verizon systems in California, we have to set this value to -8 for our Pacific

Time zone in the United States.

Cell Tower Link Fail Delay (S)

This setting (in seconds) defers Tower Link Failure alarms so that brief dropouts do not cause outage alarms.

Slave Comm. Fail Watchdog (S)

This setting (in seconds) sets the maximum time that the controller can go without receiving a text message data transmission before declaring a Communications Failure. A Communications Failure Alert can be set to initiate alarms and set outputs to preset states and conditions.

Billing Day of the Month

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller keeps track of the number of text messages sent and received each month. By setting a day that matches when the billing period for a month starts, this data can be used to validate the billing information for your cellular carrier.

36

E-mail via Text Messaging Setup

Many cellular carriers, including all of the major carriers in the United States, provide a facility for sending e-mails translated from text messages. This can eliminate the need for paying the monthly fees for a data plan for systems whose primary functions are alarming and/or text message/email HMI. To use this feature, it is necessary to configure the controller to use a cellular carriers text message to email gateway

(server). This is done on the email configuration page under

HTTP Port

The Ethernet port normally used for serving web pages is port 80. This can be changed here if desired.

Enable Web Accelerator

ICL provides a server "in the cloud" that can offload some of the task of file downloads required for web access to the controller. This can significantly improve web page access speed as well as significantly reduce the amount of data charged to your cellular plan.

It is strongly recommended that you enable this feature unless you are on a private cellular network that restricts access to the public Internet.

User Page Refresh (S)

This setting represents the rate that the user pages will automatically refresh their data. Since cellular connections are generally slower than hardwired links and you are charged by the amount of data transferred, we generally recommend that you leave this set to the factory default value of 5 seconds for most applications.

Time to Check for SMS Messages M)

This setting represents the rate that the controller will check for incoming text messages. This setting will generally affect how long it takes to get a request or command from an HMI text message and send a response. This will also impact the speed at which the cell modem RSSI (tower signal strength) is updated.

We generally recommend that you leave this set to the factory default value of 1 minute for most applications.

Command SMS Period (M)

If an SMS HMI command (or request) is received, the controller will optimize the operation of the cellular interface to respond more quickly to additional near-term command (or request) messages for the indicated time period. Otherwise, the port is optimized for responsiveness to data mode transactions (if data mode is enabled).

Modbus Address

This value represents the Slave Address of the cellular port for Modbus data communications.

Enable Modbus Slave Port

Checking this box enables the controller to respond to Modbus data commands and requests via the cellular interface. Since Modbus is not a secure protocol, do not enable this function unless you are specifically using Modbus communications over the cellular interface.

Nearly every parameter within the controller is accessable as a Modbus register. This a potential security problem. There is some protection available to prevent unauthorized

CHANGES to parameters via Modbus. This is discussed under the SECURITY section in the

Scadaflex II SC-1 Configuration Guide.

Modbus Port

The Modbus TCPIP port is traditionally port 502. This can be changed here if desired.

Hardware Configuration

Web Page Access

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers are configured via built-in web pages using standard web browsers such as

Internet Explorer (version 9 or later), Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. No separate applications are needed or installed. The “configuration hardware” can be nearly any PC, Apple or Android computing device, including smart phones and tablets.

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers also have “user” web pages (blue background) for basic interaction during operation. The controller automatically “morphs” the user web pages based on the controllers configuration settings. For example, if historical trending is enabled, buttons and web pages for displaying trends are automatically shown.

To start configuration of the hardware, set your browser to access the controllers IP address (factory default

IP address is

192.168.237.199

). Make sure that your computer is on a compatible subnet if you are not going through a router.

If your controller has the LCD HMI option installed, the IP address shows up on the screen at power-up or after the ESC key is held pressed and then released.

The controllers User Home Page with a blue background will be shown (similar to the screen capture below).

As more features are enabled, the number of selection buttons down the left hand side will grow to provide user access to these features.

You will also be able to specify other alternative startup screens such as a full custom graphical interface.

Click on the

CONFIGURATION

button.

The controllers Configuration web pages will be displayed (yellow background). Note that the configuration web pages can be secured as part of the controller’s username/password security scheme.

Some configuration information related to the Scadaflex hardware maintenance is contained in the following pages of the next section. For additional detailed information on configuration of the Scadaflex II

SC-1 controller functions, please refer to the

Scadaflex II Configuration Manual

, available on the Industrial

Control Links web site at

Local I/O Configuration - General

The local input and output points built into Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers are configured using web pages in the

CONFIGURATION | I/O CONFIG

section.

On the main page shown below, there are several configuration items that don’t apply to any one particular

I/O point.

PI Rate Time

The two Pulse Inputs in the Scadaflex II SC-1 Controller can measure the incoming pulse rate by counting the number of pulses that occur over the time period specified here. For example, if left at the factory default setting of 1 second, the reading represents pulses per second. Changing this parameter to 60 would result in a reading of the number of pulses per minute. The PI Rate Time is also the rate at which the reading is updated.

Wiegand on PIs

Weigand is a two wire data interface that has been used for years by the security and access control industry. The two Pulse Inputs may be used with Wiegand compatible card readers and keypads by enabling this mode. A number encoded in a Weigand standard format is automatically decoded and placed into the registers mapped in the Pulse Inputs configuration section. A typical application is recording of facility security checks by patrol personnel.

DO Flash Rate

The individual Digital Outputs may be configured to flash synchronously with each other. This parameter sets the speed at which they will flash. This is usually used with visual and audible alarm indicators.

Map

Internal voltage measurements of Input Voltage (power) and Battery Voltage (if the battery backup option is installed) can be “mapped” to any of the Integer (“I”) registers for communications, programmable logic and display with an HMI.

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

42

Digital Inputs Configuration

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers have 12 optically isolated Digital Inputs. Each input can be assigned a Tag Name, forced to a value (over-ride the actual input level), inverted, and marked to be included in the response to a text message or e-mail “?” command.

Tag Names

Every Digital Input can be named with a user friendly name of up to 23 characters. The names can include any upper and lower case alphanumeric characters, numbers and underscores.

Do not use punctuation characters other than underscores (“_”) in a tag name. Do not use a number as the first character or any spaces if the Digital Input is to be used in the programming section or if it is to be used in text message and e-mail commands.

Disp ?

Check this box for every Digital Input that is to be displayed in a text message or e-mail response to a “?” command

Force

Over-rides the actual state of the physical input for testing and temporary maintenance purposes.

Invert

Inverts the logical state of the Digital Input.

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

43

Pulse Inputs Configuration

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers have two high-speed pulse inputs that can also be used as simple “contact closure” digital inputs. These inputs have the same functions and configuration items as the Digital Inputs, but also have programmable filtering, built-in hardware Totalizers, Rate and Interval measurement.

Tag Names

Every Pulse Input can be named with a user friendly Tag Name of up to 23 characters. The names can include any upper and lower case alphanumeric characters, numbers and underscores.

Do not use punctuation characters other than underscores (“_”) in a tag name. Do not use a number as the first character or any spaces if the Digital Input is to be used in the programming section or if it is to be used in text message and e-mail commands.

Disp ?

Check this box for every Pulse Input that is to be displayed in a text message or e-mail response to a “?” command

Force

Over-rides the actual state of the physical input for testing and temporary maintenance purposes.

Invert

Inverts the logical state of the Pulse Input.

Filter (mS)

The Pulse Inputs are very fast (> 10KHz) so they will be more susceptible to noise and contact bounce. To eliminate these effects, a digital filter value may be set for each input individually. For example, if a pulse input is being used with a mechanical contact closure, a filter of 30mS to 50mS is recommended.

Map

Mapping links a measurement value to an Integer Register that has been configured in the

CONFIGURATION

| REGISTERS

section. A “Scale” selection formats the value with a decimal point (if needed). Using a 10-digit format (##########) links two 16-bit integer registers together to form a 32-bit register (such as for totalizers) Be sure to check the “Retain” box to make the register non-volatile (such as for totalizers). To make the register show up in a selection list for mapping or for use by the programming or Web User

Interface section, be sure to check the “Visible” box.

Map - Totalizer

Each Pulse Input has a hardware totalizer that can be mapped to an integer register. Typically this register is configured as a 32-bit non-volatile register whose maximum value is 4,294,836,225 counts. The maximum value of a 16-bit register is 65,535.

Map - Rate

Each Pulse Input has a hardware rate measurement capability that can be mapped to an integer register.

Rate is measured by counting the number of pulses that occur in the measurement period specified on the main

CONFIGURATION | I/O CONFIG

page. The factory default setting of this value is 1 second.

Map - Interval

Each Pulse Input has a hardware interval measurement capability that can be mapped to an integer register

(usually 32-bit). Interval is measured by counting the number of milliseconds from leading edge to leading edge of two successive pulses. Interval measurement is an effective way to measure and display the rate of very slow pulse such as from larger municipal flow meters. The update rate and resolution will be much better than the conventional rate technique described above for pulse rates of 10 pulses per second or less.

To convert interval to frequency, use the following formula in the Programming Section:

Frequency (x .000001 Hz) = 1,000,000,000 / Interval(mS)

‘Frequency is calculated t0 0.000001 Hertz

For example, an interval measurement from a large flow meter of 10,000 (mS) =

1,000,000,000 / 10,000 = 100,000

which with a decimal place of formatted 6 positions reads as

0.100000 Hz

You can use further scaling to convert this frequency to flow rate using the meters K factor.

45

Digital Outputs Configuration

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers have 4 solid-state FET transistor Digital Outputs. Each output can be assigned a

Tag Name, forced to a value (over-ride the actual output level), inverted, and marked to be included in the response to a text message or e-mail “?” command. Each output can also be assigned unique attribute to flash (synchronized 50% duty cycle), PWM (programmable duty cycle pulse), toggle (flip-flop) and one-shot pulse, as well as its state when a communications failure occurs.

Tag Names

Every Digital Output can be named with a user friendly name of up to 23 characters. The names can include any upper and lower case alphanumeric characters, numbers and underscores.

Do not use punctuation characters other than underscores (“_”) in a tag name. Do not use a number as the first character or any spaces if the Digital Input is to be used in the programming section or if it is to be used in text message and e-mail commands.

Disp ?

Check this box for every Digital Output that is to be displayed in a text message or e-mail response to a “?” command

Force

Over-rides the state of the physical output for testing and temporary maintenance purposes.

46

Mode

Sets the operating Mode of a Digital Output to flash (synchronized 50% duty cycle), PWM (programmable duty cycle pulse), toggle (flip-flop) and one-shot toggle or pulse when the output is activated.

PWM Mode

The output turns ON and OFF based on the “ON Time” and “OFF

Time” values below the mode setting.

Delay Mode

The output turns ON after a delay set by the “ON Time” value below the mode setting.

Flash Mode

The output turns ON and OFF at the rate specified by the “PI Rate Time” on the main

CONFIGURATION | I/O CONFIG

page

Toggle Mode

The output changes state each time the output is written to.

OS Pulse ON

The output turns ON based on the “ON Time” and then resets back to OFF each time the output is written to. This mode is ideal to reset remote equipment by SCADA command.

Recycle Holdoff

This function prevents an output from turning ON immediately after being turned OFF (rapid cycling). This function can be used to protect large pumps and motors. When this parameter is set to a non-zero value, the output will be held off from turning ON for the specified time period in seconds. This protection is also effective just after a power failure so that pumps will not slam ON after a power glitch.

Link to DO

This function is like mapping in reverse, allowing a Bit register or control function (like PID) to be linked to a physical Digital Output.

Comm Fail

This setting determines how a Digital Output should react to a communications failure. The output can be set to either HOLD the last state, or turn OFF or ON. The MODE setting can be used in conjunction with the COMM FAIL setting. For example, if the COMM FAIL setting is set to “ON” and the MODE setting is set to “FLASH”, the Digital Output can be used to flash a light or horn when there is a communications failure.

47

Analog Inputs Configuration

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers have 4 Analog Inputs. Each input can be assigned a Tag Name and forced to a value (over-ride the actual input level). Each input can also have its own conversion speed to balance between update rate and suppression of noise, etc.

Tag Names

Every Analog Input can be named with a user friendly name of up to 23 characters. The names can include any upper and lower case alphanumeric characters, numbers and underscores.

Do not use punctuation characters other than underscores (“_”) in a tag name. Do not use a number as the first character or any spaces if the Digital Input is to be used in the programming section or if it is to be used in text message and e-mail commands.

Disp ?

Check this box for Analog Inputs to be displayed in a text message or e-mail response to a “?” command

Force

Over-rides the actual reading of the analog input for testing and temporary maintenance purposes. If blank, forcing is disabled. To force an input to a specific level, set the value from 0 and 20000 (0mA to 20mA)

Speed

Sets the rate at which analog conversions are performed, from 8 to over 800 times per second. If high-speed is required (to take advantage of the fast Ethernet capabilities of the Scadaflex II SC-1 Controller), set this parameter to a lower value. For better noise rejection when speed is not critical, set this parameter to a higher value.

Scale

This parameter selects a formatting or scaling to be applied to the raw analog reading.

Without scaling, the analog readings read in microamps, or 0 to 20,000 for 0mA to 20mA.

Scadaflex II SC-1 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Rev 1.01a Copyright © 2015 Industrial Control Links, Inc. All Rights Reserved

48

Analog Outputs Configuration

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers have 2 20mA Analog Outputs. Each output can be assigned a Tag Name, forced to a value (over-ride the output level), and marked to be included in the response to a text message or email “?” command. The output level of each output can be preset for when a communications failure occurs.

Tag Names

Every Analog Output can be named with a user friendly name of up to 23 characters. The names can include any upper and lower case alphanumeric characters, numbers and underscores.

Do not use punctuation characters other than underscores (“_”) in a tag name. Do not use a number as the first character or any spaces if the Digital Input is to be used in the programming section or if it is to be used in text message and e-mail commands.

Disp ?

Check this box for Analog Outputs to be displayed in a text message or e-mail response to a “?” command

Force

Over-rides the “normal” analog output value for testing and temporary maintenance purposes. If blank, forcing is disabled. To force an output to a specific level, set the value from 0 and 20000 (0mA to 20mA)

AO Mode

Sets the full scale range of an Analog Output; 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA, or 0 to 1mA.

Link to DO

This function is like mapping in reverse, allowing a Integer register or control function

(like PID) to be linked to a physical Analog Output.

Comm Fail

This setting determines how an Analog Output should react to a communications failure. The output can be set to either HOLD the last value (blank), or go to a specified value 0 to 20000 for 0mA to 20mA.

LCD HMI (Option)

The LCD HMI (Human Machine Interface) is an option that provides access to registers and alarms within the

Scadaflex II SC-1 controller in addition to firmware version,

IP address and cell# information (if a cellular option is installed).

The HMI consists of a four line backlight LCD display and a 6-key simplified keypad.

Initial IP Address(es) and Cell# Display

When the controller is first powered up, the display contains the software version and Ethernet IP address of the controller. In addition, if a cellular modem is installed, the lower half of the display shows the cellular IP address (if data mode is enabled) and the telephone number used for text messaging.

This same screen can be brought up at any time by pressing and holding the ESC key for a couple of seconds and then releasing it.

Register Access

Register access is configured in the Textual HMI section of the Configuration pages. There are a total of 5 pages (the Home page and pages 1 through 4), each with up to 10 registers. On the first configuration page you can assign Titles to pages 1 through 4. The “Short Names” and disable buttons lower on the page are not used by an external HMI interface (Viewpoint II) and not by the local LCD HMI.

MAINTENANCE

page. The contrast can be adjusted from 0 to 100 percent to accommodate various viewing angles. The Backlight Time sets how long the backlight is turned ON after a keypress. If there is no keyboard activity, the backlight is turned OFF after the number of seconds specified in order to conserve power. Setting the Backlight Time to 0 leaves the backlight ON all of the time.

57

Installation of Software Updates

The firmware of the Scadaflex II SC-1 controller is contained within two files:

• scadafx2.sfsxxxxx Main system firmware file (xxxxx is the version number)

IclMagic.wfsxxx Graphical components file (xxx is the version number)

The scadafx2.sfs is updated relatively frequently as new functionality is added or bugs are found and squished. The IclMagic file changes less frequently when new graphics are added (such as for the Web

User Interface)

Before doing a firmware update, always back up your configuration as described in the next section. Some firmware updates require the Controller to have its configuration reset to factory defaults, after which you will want to restore a backup of your work

Installing firmware updates requires no external program. The same tool is used to update both the main firmware and the IclMagic (graphics) file. Simply . . .

1.

Click on the “Download

Firmware” button, and the downloader pop-up window will appear.

2.

Use the “Browse” button to navigate to the new firmware file on your computer.

3.

Click on the “Download

Firmware” button to start the download process

The downloading of the main system file is a 4-step process . . .

1.

Downloading – transfers file to the Controllers internal disk drive

2.

Unpacking – decompresses the file

3.

Verifying – Verifies the file integrity

4.

Installing – Replaces the existing system firmware with the new code

If the new firmware requires an update of the graphics file, you will see a pop-up error message on the

User Home Page.

Installation of the IclMagic file is only a two-step process; downloading and installing.

Great Britain and the United States are two of the few places in the world that use a period to indicate the decimal place. Many other countries use a comma instead. The decimal separator is also called the

radix

character. Likewise, while the U.K. and U.S. use a comma to separate groups of thousands, many other countries use a period instead, and some countries separate thousands groups with a thin space. The table below shows some commonly used numeric formats.

Restoring Factory Default Settings (Not IP)

Restoring Factory Default Calibration Values

Two buttons on the

CONFIGURATION | MAINTENANCE | SYSTEM

page are used to restore the controller configuration back to the values set by the factory. The “Restore Factory Defaults (Not IP)" button clears out any user entered configuration other than the IP address (so you don’t get cut off from the controller when operating remotely) and the I/O calibration. Likewise the “Restore Factory Calibrations" button independently restores the I/O calibration values originally set by the factory.

Reset

Clicking on the “Reset” button duplicates cycling power on the unit. Some configuration changes require a controller reset which may not be practical when supporting a controller remotely.

Retrieving and Clearing System Log files

The Scadaflex II SC-1 controller maintains three different types of logs on its internal disk drive (separate from any historical trending operations). They are:

Event Log

A user driven log with entries made from a Scadaflex II user program.

Journal

A log that records cellular transactions, alarm activity and responses.

Error Log

A log that records hardware related errors and maintenance activity, including radio and modem errors and recovery, firmware updates, backups, etc.

All logs are in CSV spreadsheet format and can be downloaded and cleared by clicking on the appropriate buttons. The logs are “circular”, overwriting the oldest data when they become full.

Cellular Data Monitor

Regardless of the type of cellular modem installed in the controller, there is a cellular data monitor that can be used to troubleshoot cellular link and modem issues on the

page. You may be asked by Technical Support to capture (screen print) some of this traffic to help troubleshoot unusual cellular link problems.

The monitor window in the center of the page shows the ASCII message traffic between the controller and the cellular modem; the yellow text is message traffic to the modem and the green text is message traffic from the modem. Low level AT commands may be inserted into the message stream to the modem using the entry field at the upper right-hand corner.

Power Management

Scadaflex II SC-1 controllers can be configured to operate with less system power consumption. This is accomplished by managing the power supply that powers the sensors, reducing the speed of the internal microprocessor, and configuring the Ethernet port to automatically power down when not connected to an Ethernet device.

The controller power consumption under various operating settings is detailed in a table at the end of this manual (after the specifications).

These functions are configured under

CONFIGURATION | POWER SAVE

.

Sensor Sleep Time (S)

Setting this parameter causes the analog inputs to be sampled at a reduced rate. The time value specified is the "sleep" (inactive) time between measurements. While sleeping, the sensor power is turned off if the

Sensor Power control (below) is set to "switched".

Sensor Power

This setting controls the sensor power output that is used to provide regulated loop and sensor device power (+VA). The setting may be set to ON, SWITCHED or OFF. ON leaves the sensor power output energized at all times. OFF leaves the output disabled for maximum power savings when it is not needed. SWITCHED turns the sensor power ON only when required to briefly power the sensor(s) and take a reading. Between readings, the output is de-energized

Sensor Warm-up Time

Most sensors require a little time to stabilize when powered on. This setting represents the amount of time that the controller will turn ON the sensor power ahead of sampling the analog inputs. There is usually a tradeoff between sensor warm-up time and reading accuracy. For example, the curve on the right was supplied by Gems, a sensor company.

For this particular sensor, the readings will be within about 3% accuracy if read immediately after being powered on, but about 3 times better than that with a 60 second Sensor Warm-up Time.

Managing sensor power with the above three settings can significantly reduce system power consumption. For example, let's say that we need to keep track of a tank level that won't change much between readings taken every 15 minutes. The sensor power output

(+VA) of the controller provides 15Vdc. A current loop device, left ON continually, will consume as much as 20mA (full output) or 0.3 watts per hour (per sensor). That's the same amount of power required by the entire controller (without using Ethernet)! If the Sensor

Powered is switched ON say for just 2 seconds per reading every 15 minutes, that consumption figure drops to 0.00067 watts per our (per sensor), a 450x improvement!

Low Power Mode (slow CPU clock)

Slowing the operating speed of the controller's CPU can reduce the overall power consumption by as much as 24%. Web page responsiveness, trend report generation and user program scan time will be severely degraded with a slower CPU clock.

Ethernet Auto Power Down

Ethernet support represents roughly half of the power consumption of the controller. If this box is checked, the controller will put the Ethernet section to sleep when an Ethernet device is not connected, potentially cutting power consumption nearly in half.

Some other devices besides the controller (such as many laptops) support Ethernet Auto Power Down.

When they don't detect an Ethernet connected device, they put their own Ethernet section to sleep. That can be a problem if Ethernet Auto Power Down is also enabled in the controller since both the controller and the device will put the Ethernet sections to sleep because the other end is not active. To avoid this situation, the controller briefly turns on its Ethernet interface when first powered ON or when the "Setup" pushbutton is pressed even if this disable setting is selected.
