5 Installation

5.3

Installation procedure

Recommendations:

We recommend that the network settings are changed before the device is installed (see

section 7 "Configuration").

In general, there are several ways of installing the

CMC III PU in an IT server enclosure:

1. Installation using the mounting clips provided, possibly also with spring clips for the top-hat rail installation

2. Installation with the CMC III mounting unit

(7030.071)

3. Installation with the CMC III mounting unit, 1 U

(7030.070)

5.3.1

Installation notes

 Never fasten the CMC III PU with the mounting clips provided only on one side of the device! This would cause undesirable vibrations in the device during running operation.

The unit is free from power only after all power sources have been disconnected!

 Please observe the valid regulations for the electrical installation for the country in which the CMC III PU is installed and operated, and the national regulations for accident prevention. Please also observe any company-internal regulations, such as work, operating and safety regulations.

 The technical data and limit values stated in the technical specifications must not be exceeded under any circumstances. In particular, this applies to the specified ambient temperature range and the IP category.

 If a higher IP degree of protection is required for a special application, the CMC III PU must be installed in an appropriate housing or enclosure with the required IP category.

5.2

Requirements placed on the

installation

location

To ensure the correct operation of the device, the conditions for the installation location described in

section 11 "Technical specifications" must be observed.

Electromagnetic interference

– Interfering electrical installations (high frequency) should be avoided.

Fig. 2: Faulty installation in the enclosure

 To permit the exact temperature measurement with the internal temperature sensor, an adequate air circulation in the enclosure or IT enclosure must be provided and the CMC III PU located so that it is adequately supplied with air and the vent slots not covered. If this is not possible, the external temperature sensor (optional) can be used instead of the internal temperature sensor.

 If the access sensor for monitoring a door or side panel of an IT enclosure is used, the CMC III PU must be positioned so that the sensor points to the lock side and not to the hinge side of the door to be monitored.

Because the angle of the reflecting foil changes faster, an opened door will be detected faster.

 After completion of the installation, glue the reflecting foil supplied on to the door or side panel exactly opposite the infrared access sensor.

EN

Rittal CMC III Processing Unit / CMC III Processing Unit Compact 9

Littelfuse.

, 3.15 A, slow fuse, type 02133.15MXP

5.4.1

Connection using an external power pack

 Connect the external power pack (7030.060) to the

CMC III PU power supply (fig. 9, item 14).

 Select the appropriate country-specific connection cable for the power pack.

 Connect the power pack with the connection cable to the power supply.

Note:

Further notes are contained in the power pack documentation (7030.060).

Note:

The power supply to the CMC III PU must not be disconnected while it is booting.

The start of the CMC III PU takes approx. 1 minute. The status display flashes irregularly during this time. An audio signal sounds once the device has started successfully. The device is then operational.

5.4.2

Direct connection

Alternatively, you can connect the CMC III PU directly to the external power pack using the terminal connector.

 To do this, connect the 24 V output (direct connection) on the power pack (7030.060) to the appropriate con-

nection of the CMC III PU (fig. 9, item 15).

 Observe the pin assignment of the connection.

Tab. 2: Pin assignment of the connection

Note:

The above designations "left", "centre" and

"right" apply when the device is viewed from

the rear (fig. 9).

 Also observe the pin assignment of the power pack

(7030.060). This is contained in the associated documentation.

5.4.3

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Note:

– For PoE power supply, the CMC III PU may be operated only in closed rooms and in the enclosure.

– The PoE power supply must be laid entirely in closed rooms and is therefore not allowed, even partially, to be laid outdoors.

Instead of using an external power pack, you can also supply the CMC III PU with its operational power via

Power over Ethernet.

 For example, connect a PoE switch to the Ethernet in-

terface (fig. 9, item 11).

Note:

Ensure that the permitted total power consumption for the PoE port is not exceeded

(refer to the documentation for the PoE switch).

5.5

Connection of the external temperature sensor (optional)

Note:

The external temperature sensor must be used when it cannot be guaranteed that the

CMC III PU is adequately supplied with air or when the measuring point is present at a different position than the installation location of the CMC III PU.

 If required, insert the external temperature sensor at

the rear on the connection of the CMC III PU (fig. 9,

item 9).

 Then route the external temperature sensor to the required measuring point.

Note:

The internal temperature sensor will be disabled when the external temperature sensor is inserted.

Note:

The external temperature sensor must be connected before the CMC III PU is started. If the external temperature sensor is connected during running operations, the CMC III PU must be restarted so that the external temperature sensor is detected and used.

12 Rittal CMC III Processing Unit / CMC III Processing Unit Compact

5 Installation

5.6

Network connection

The network connection establishes the connection to the network.

Connect the Ethernet interface (fig. 9, item 11) using a

network cable with an RJ 45 connector to the existing network structure.

After connection of the network cable, the green LED on the Ethernet interface illuminates continually. The orange

LED also illuminates during data exchange, (see

section 6.3.3 "Displays of the LEDs on the Ethernet interface").

5.7

Connection of sensors

A wide range of sensors, actuators and systems for ac-

cess monitoring (see section 12 "Accessories") can be

connected to the two CAN bus interfaces (fig. 9, item 12

and 13).

Note:

Only one CAN bus connection is present on the Processing Unit Compact.

 For example, connect a sensor from the accessories range with a CAN bus interface of the CMC III PU using a CAN bus connection cable.

The following CAN bus connection cable from the

CMC III accessories range can be used:

– 7030.090 (length 0.5 m)

– 7030.091 (length 1 m)

– 7030.092 (length 1.5 m)

– 7030.093 (length 2 m)

– 7030.480 (length 3 m)

– 7030.490 (length 4 m)

– 7030.094 (length 5 m)

– 7030.095 (length 10 m)

Further components are connected as daisy chain.

 If necessary, connect another component (e.g. another sensor type) to the second, free CAN bus interface of the first component.

 Proceed similarly for further components.

The CMC III PU automatically detects each connected sensor. After connection of the sensor, the status display of the multi-LED at the front of the CMC III PU changes appropriately. The LED display on the CAN bus

connection also changes (see section 6.3.2 "Displays of the LEDs on the CAN bus connection").

Note:

If a sensor is added subsequently, it may have a newer firmware than the CMC III PU supports. In this case, the CMC III PU does not detect the sensor; the CMC III PU must be updated first.

As of CMC III PU software version 3.11, the appropriate version of the CMC III PU is transferred to a sensor with a newer firmware. The sensor is then ready for use.

Note:

Depending on the configuration of the sensors on the CAN bus, it may be necessary to supply the gateway (7030.030) additionally using an external power supply. Otherwise the CAN bus power does not suffice for activating the PSM modules.

Note:

Further information concerning the connection of sensors is contained in the associated documentation of the accessory part.

5.8

Connection of an alarm relay

An external signal source for the alarm signalling can be

7.1

General

The base configuration of the CMC III PU, in particular the (one-off) customisation of the network settings, can be performed in several ways:

1. HTTP connection via the Ethernet interface

2. Telnet connection via the Ethernet interface

3. Serial connection via a USB cable

An HTTP connection is normally used to make the settings. If this is not possible, e.g. because access via

HTTP or HTTPS has been deactivated, access via a Telnet connection is recommended. To do this, as for access using an HTTP connection, the IP address of the

CMC III PU must be known. If this address is not known, a direct access to the device can be made using the

USB/serial interface at the front of the device.

The following descriptions assume that the CMC III PU is in its delivered state, i.e. no changes have been made to the base configuration. In particular, the "HTTP" and

"Telnet" connection types must not be blocked.

7.2

HTTP connection

7.2.1

Establishing the connection

 Connect the device with a network cable using the

Ethernet interface to your computer (fig. 11, item 10).

Note:

Depending on which computer is used, you may need to use a cross-over cable for this purpose.

 Change the IP address of your computer to any address in the range 192.168.0.xxx, e.g. 192.168.0.191.

The default address 192.168.0.190 of the device must not be used.

 Set the subnet mask to the value 255.255.255.0.

 If necessary, switch off the proxy server in the browser in order to permit a direct connection to the device.

 Enter the http://192.168.0.190 address in the brows-

er (fig. 12, item 1). The login dialogue to log in to the

device will be displayed.

2. Severity: The severity of the error that has occurred.

A differentiation is made between warnings and

alarms (fig. 30, item 2).

3. Message: Error message in plain text (fig. 30,

item 3).

8 Operation

– The multi-LED on the front of the CMC III PU lights continually red or orange.

– Depending on the settings, the alarm relay latches and the CMC III PU issues an acoustic signal.

Once the cause of an error message has been corrected, the associated message can be deleted automatically from the message display. The status of the associated component can also be reset and all other displays caused by the error can disappear. This, however, depends on the selected alarm configuration (see

section 8.9 "Alarm Configuration"). Error messages and

the status may also remain in the overview until they have been acknowledged with the "C" key on the

CMC III PU (see section 6.4 "Acknowledgement of messages").

If a permanent configuration change is made on the device, e.g. a new sensor connected to the CMC III PU, it will also be output as error message of the "Alarm" type in the message display. In this case, the multi-LED in the front of the CMC III PU flashes cyclically green – orange

– red. Such a configuration change is deleted from the message display only when it has been confirmed by the

operator (see section 6.4 "Acknowledgement of messages").

Example: Excessive temperature value

If the temperature sensor integrated on the CMC III PU measures a temperature that lies above the value stored in "SetPtHighWarning", a warning message will be issued.

In this case, the following changes occur in the representation:

– The symbol in front of the CMCIII-PU component in the navigation area is yellow-highlighted.

– The complete component as well as the "Temperature" and "Status" lines have a yellow background on the Observation tab. The "High Warn" warning message is also issued.

– The appropriate warning message appears in the message display.

The occurred errors are also displayed as follows:

– Left-hand screen area (navigation area): The symbol in front of the component on which the error occurred is colour-highlighted (red for an alarm, yellow for a warn-

– Right-hand screen area (configuration area): The complete component as well as the special parameters for which the warning or alarm is pending is coloured red

or yellow on the Observation tab (fig. 30, item 5 and

6).

When the temperature again falls below the "SetPt-

HighWarning" value plus the hysteresis value (see

section 13 "Glossary"), it depends on the alarm configu-

ration whether the message is deleted automatically from the message display and the associated status dis-

plays are reset again (see section 8.9 "Alarm Configuration").

Irrespective of this change, a user with the appropriate rights can change the passwords of all users from the user administra-

tion (see section 8.7.2 "Users").

8.2.9

Reorganising the connected components

For the new installation of components on the

CMC III PU, they can be added in the navigation area at the next free location and then receive the appropriate ID number. Multiple upgrades or changes to the connected components, in particular, can mean there is no association between the position of the components on the

CAN bus and the associated ID number.

The "Reorganise" function renumbers all connected components. The numbering begins with the components on CAN bus connection 1 of the CMC III PU. They are then numbered in the sequence with which they are

28 Rittal CMC III Processing Unit / CMC III Processing Unit Compact

connected. Finally, all components on CAN bus connection 2 are processed similarly.

 Click the "Processing Unit" entry in the navigation area or right-click any other connected component.

 Left-click the "Reorganise" entry in the context menu.

A message appears stating that the reorganisation has caused the components to be reindexed. This can cause problems for the access to these components, e.g. via SNMP, so that this access must be reconfigured. The "Alarm Configuration" of the individual sensors, however, is retained.

The sensors are then registered automatically again on the CMC III PU.

Note:

The reorganisation of the components removes, in particular, all components with the

"Lost" status from the navigation area.

8.3

Observation tab

The Observation tab is used to make all settings for the individual components of the system, such as limit values for warning and alarm messages. The display in the right-hand screen depends on which component was selected in the navigation area.

 If you select the "Processing Unit" (uppermost node) entry in the navigation area, the Observation tab, all

"Real Devices" and all "Virtual Devices" are available for selection.

 If you select the "Real Devices" or "Virtual Devices" entry in the navigation area, the Observation tab contains only those components for selection that belong to the appropriate group.

 If you select a special component in the navigation area, e.g. the "CMCIII-PU" entry, the Observation tab contains only these components for selection.

Note:

It is not possible to change parameters for different components together.

This setting acts only when the software is permitted to change parameters of the

"Data" type.

Tab. 75: "Data Right" column

The access to the parameters of the "Config" type of the device is specified in the "Config Right" column on the

Observation tab. The assignment of the parameters to the "Config" type can be obtained on the Configuration tab from the "gearwheel" icon prefixed to the associated

parameter (see section 8.8.2 "Data types"). The follow-

ing settings can be selected:

Parameter Explanation no read

Members of the group have neither read nor write access to the limit values. If the

"no" entry is also selected in the "Data

Right" column, only the "Device" level can be viewed. If some other entry is selected in the "Data Right" column, the "Value" and

"Status" values can be viewed in the other levels.

Members of the group have read access to the limit values. This means, they can view the temperature limit values for alarms and warnings, for example.

read/write Members of the group have read and write access to the limit values. This means, they can view and change the temperature limit values for alarms and warnings, for example.

Tab. 76: "Config Right" column

If a field does not have any caption, the "Device Rights"

sublevels are different (see section 8.8.1 "Inheritance of the Device Rights").

Note:

Such defined access rights always apply only for access to the associated component via the website. Access rights at door handles are controlled by the general user administration and the Access Configuration (see

section 8.7.3 "Access Configuration").

8.8.1

Inheritance of the Device Rights

The rights assignment for the individual sensors is constructed parallel to the representation on the Observa-

tion tab. A change to a node point is also transferred automatically to all variables subordinate to this node point.

 Select the "CMCIII-PU" entry in the navigation area.

 Select the Configuration tab in the right-hand area of the screen page.

 Click the "Device Rights" icon suffixed to the "CMCIII-

PU" entry.

The "Device Rights Configuration" dialogue opens

(fig. 42).

If a change is made in this dialogue and a different access authorisation to the variables assigned to a user group, this user group also has the same access rights for all variables subordinate to the "CMCIII-PU" node point.

If a node point has a further node point with different subordinate variables, the inheritance also acts here. A configuration change is transferred automatically to the second node point and the subordinate variables there.

44 Rittal CMC III Processing Unit / CMC III Processing Unit Compact

If, however, the second node point is changed, only the access rights for those variables subordinate to this node point change.

If an individual subordinate parameter is customised, it can be selected and edited individually.

 Click the "Plus" icon to open the complete structure.

 Click the "Device Rights" icon directly behind the variable to be edited.

If the access rights of the individual parameters for a node point differ in the "Device Rights Configuration" dialogue, an empty field is shown here in the "Device

Rights Configuration" of the complete sensor. Changing this empty field causes the settings there to be transferred for all subordinate parameters.

8.8.2

Data types

The parameters of the sensors are differentiated into two types:

– Data

– Config

A variable of the "Data" type provides status information and can be changed only for those sensors whose software permits this. A variable of the "Config" type contains configuration information and can be changed by a user when the software permits this.

An icon indicates the associated type. Parameters of the

"Data" type are represented as a "Database" icon (with stacked blue cylinders). Parameters of the "Config" type are represented as two diagonal gearwheels.

Acknowledge Required

Activate or deactivate the beeper when the alarm occurs.

Activate or deactivate the alarm relay.

If this setting is activated, the alarm message remains displayed until it has been acknowledged. This means, even when the cause of the alarm is no longer present, e.g. when in the meantime the temperature has undershot the switching point, the

"Alarm" status remains set. Only the transition to the "OK" status is blocked, i.e. other alarms as well as the transition to the

"Warning" status are also displayed for activated setting.

Delay Delay time between measured value overshot and switching to the alarm or warning status. This delay time does not apply to the switching action to the "OK" status.

Note:

Several entries can be marked in the individual columns by keeping the "Ctrl" key pressed.

8.11.2 Refreshing the view

After the definition of a filter, all messages stored up to this time that satisfy the filter criterion are displayed. No subsequent automatic refresh of the display occurs when new messages arrive, i.e the display must be refreshed manually.

Click the second symbol on the left (fig. 46, item 2).

It takes a moment until all events have been reloaded from the CMC III PU. The refreshed list with all events is then displayed.

Note:

After each refresh, only those messages that satisfy the currently stored filter criterion are displayed.

8.11.3 Printing the view

The complete history or the results selected using a filter can be printed.

 If required, first define a suitable filter in order to display

only a subset of all results (see section 8.11.1 "Defining a filter").

Click the fourth icon from the left (fig. 46, item 4).

It takes a moment until all events have been reloaded from the CMC III PU. The updated list with all events is displayed in a separate window and a "print" dialogue opens.

 Print the view or save it as PDF file.

8.11.4 Delete the display

You can delete the current display at any time.

Click the third symbol on the left (fig. 46, item 3).

All entries from the display are deleted and the same message as for selection of the Logging tab appears again.

Note:

The entries are removed only from the display. The log file remains unchanged.

8.12 Tasks

The tasks can be used to query the status of all connected components and logically link them with each other.

Date values can also be included in the links. Different actions can be initiated for a status change of the Trigger

Expression (see section 8.12.2 "Specifying the trigger expression"). For example the occurrence of an alarm

message of the integrated access sensors on a specific weekday causes an appropriate e-mail to be sent. The current status of a task cannot be queried via SNMP.

This is possible only for a virtual device (see section 8.13

"Virtual Devices").

Because tasks are generally valid, the information displayed on the Tasks tab is independent of the components selected in the left-hand area of the screen.

8.12.1 Tasks tab

The following information for as many as 16 different tasks is displayed on this tab:

Tab. 88: Trigger Expression group frame

The dropdown lists for selection of the various setting options are displayed after clicking the default specified values "=", "No Variable Selected" or "No Value" (see

section 8.12.4 "Example for creating a task").

The "=" and "<>" operators can be used to check variables of the CMC III PU itself or the connected devices for a specific status. Alternatively, time details (weekday) can also be checked.

The two "|" and "&" operators are used to link subordinate expressions appropriately with each other.

Proceed as follows to create an expression:

 If several expressions should be checked: First specify whether both subordinate expressions must supply the value "true" (operator "&") or only one value suffices to initiate the action (operator "|").

 Specify separately for all subordinate expressions whether it supplies the value "true" when the variable or the time specification corresponds to the value (operator "=") or not (operator "<>").

8.12.3 Selection of an action

Finally, assign to the task an action from the dropdown list when the complete expression switches to the value

"true".

Note:

The action stored for a task is always performed only after a status change. If the definition of a task is changed, e.g. the logic of a switching output, the output is not switched directly when the change is accepted, but only when the status of an input changes.

Note:

Ensure that different values are selected in the two "Value on True" and "Value on False" dropdown lists. Otherwise, the variable retains this value even when the value of the expression in the Trigger Expression group frame changes.

Grouping of outputs

The assignment of an output to a group makes it possible with a single task or switching command via the website, Telnet or SNMP to switch several outputs (also different components) in the same manner. This avoids the need to create a separate appropriate task for each of these outputs.

If you have assigned several outputs the same group number, the selection of one of these outputs also switches all other outputs of this group correspondingly.

"Shutdown Server" action

If the "Shutdown Server" action is selected, servers on which an appropriate licence of the RCCMD software is

installed can be shutdown orderly (see section 8.5.9

"Server Shutdown Configuration").

After clicking the Setup button, the "Shutdown Server" dialogue appears.

 Activate in the "Use" column the servers to be shutdown when the expression specified previously in the

Trigger Expression group frame has the value

8.13 Virtual Devices

The so-called "Virtual Devices" are displayed below the

"Real Devices" in the left-hand area of the screen, i.e. the devices actually connected to the CMC III PU.

They must first have been created on the right-hand side by clicking the Configuration tab.

Sensors and output devices can be coupled to form a new, predefined type of "virtual device". For example, when a specified temperature measured with the integrated temperature sensor is overshot, a fan connected to a Power Unit (7030.050) will be switched on.

A virtual device is treated as a dedicated component, for which, for example, the status can also be queried via

SNMP. Although such a status query is not possible for a task, tasks can be configured to a greater extent (see

section 8.12 "Tasks").

8.13.1 Types of virtual devices

You can select the following types as virtual device:

– Two-Level Controller

– Access Controller

Two-Level Controller

Such a controller can be used to switch an output on or off (e.g. an output of a connected IO unit) using a specified (threshold) value (e.g a limit temperature). The above-mentioned (threshold) value is specified directly in the virtual device and is independent of the limit values defined in the actual sensor.

In contrast to a task, a two-level controller cannot evaluate the status of the assigned sensor. This possible

only with a task (see section 8.12 "Tasks") for which

combinations of status and time conditions can be set and one or more actions performed.

Access Controller

An access controller can be used to switch a switchable output using a reader (transponder reader or numbercombination lock). This allows, for example, a room access door to be monitored and opened.

8.13.2 Creating a virtual device

You create a virtual device on the Configuration tab. To do this:

 Select the "Virtual Devices" entry in the navigation area of the screen.

 Click the Configuration tab in the right-hand area of the screen.

 Click the New button in the List of Virtual Devices group frame.

 Select the desired type of the virtual device in the "Virtual Device Type" dropdown list in the "Create new Virtual Device" dialogue (e.g. "Two-Level Controller").

 Click the OK button to confirm the selection.

The configuration change causes the list of all devices to be reloaded automatically. A new component, e.g. the above-mentioned "Two-Level Controller", marked with a small green "+" character appears in the navigation area under the "Virtual Devices". The multi-LED of the CMC III PU flashes cyclically green – orange – red.

 Confirm the message for the configuration change

(see section 6.4 "Acknowledgement of messages").

The device list is reloaded automatically. The entry under the "Virtual Devices" now has a yellow background and the LED of the CMC III PU illuminates orange continuously provided no other alarm is pending.

 Then specify the input and output of the virtual device.

Depending on the virtual device type, the output of the

virtual device can only be specified (see section 8.10

"Inputs and Outputs").

The device list is then reloaded automatically. A blue

"information" symbol is displayed in the entry under the "Virtual Devices" and the LED of the CMC III PU illuminates green continuously provided no other alarm is pending.

 Then configure all settings on the Observation tab

(see section 8.13.3 "Configuring a virtual device").

8.13.3 Configuring a virtual device

 Select the appropriate "Virtual Devices" in the navigation area of the screen.

 Click the Observation tab to perform the settings.

8.14 Charts

As many as 16 charts on which the chronological trend for as many as 6 variable values can be viewed on the

Charts tab. The data of these charts can be downloaded for separate evaluation (e.g. with a spreadsheet pro-

gram such as Excel) as CSV files (see section 8.14.3

"Evaluating the CSV files").

Note:

Because the data of the charts is stored on an external storage medium, such as a USB stick or a SD card, the charts are not available on the "Compact" version of the Process-

ing Unit (see section 8.3.7 "Memory").

 Select the Charts tab in the right-hand area of the screen page.

The associated charts must be deactivated before removal of the external storage medium on which chart data is stored. If this is not done, the files with the chart data may be corrupted. Alternatively, the external storage medium can also be signed-off from the system be-

forehand (see section 8.3.7 "Memory"). This deactivates

the charts automatically.

Note:

If an external storage medium is removed directly, this can cause loss of chart data.

In the right-hand Variables group frame, as many as 6 variables are specified per chart, the values of which can then be shown graphically.

Note:

Changing the settings of existing charts can lead to data loss. Consequently, the associated CSV files should be saved beforehand

(see section 8.14.3 "Evaluating the CSV files").

 Select one of the 6 lines.

If the "None" entry is not present in a line, this variable has already been assigned to the chart.

 Click the Edit button.

If variables with different units are assigned to a chart

(e.g. temperature in °C and voltage in V), then multiple ordinate axes (Y axes) will be created.

8.14.2 Chart view

As standard, the left-hand boundary of the time axis (X axis) is fixed to the time when the chart was activated.

The right-hand boundary "grows" with each refresh of the chart after the time entered in the "Interval" parameter. Similarly, the ordinate axes are adapted so that all measured values can be displayed.

As standard, the values of all represented variables at the time of activating the chart and the associated time stamp (date and time) are displayed on the right-hand side of the chart.

Display of the measured values at a specific time

Provided the chart is activated, you can display the exact measured values for a specific time.

 Position the mouse cursor in the chart.

A vertical line is displayed.

The values of all represented variables at the selected time are displayed in plain language together with the associated time stamp on the right-hand side of the chart.

Adapting the displayed time period

In addition, the displayed time period can be reduced, for example, to more exactly investigate the trend at a specific time.

 Click the Zoom In button.

The complete trend from activation of the chart to the current time is displayed. Each click of this button reduces the displayed time period.

The procedure to import a CSV file for evaluation in Excel is described below.

Note:

In general, the CSV files can also be imported into another spreadsheet program, although the procedure may differ.

EN

Fig. 50: Displaced chart

Similar to the displacement of windows for various con-

nected sensors (see section 8.2.7 "Undock function"),

the separate windows of the charts can be moved independent of the actual website of the CMC III PU and changed in size. This function can be used by several charts and so a complete overview created on the PC screen.

 Click the Dock button in the separate window or simply close the window to display the chart again below the title line in the main window.

8.14.3 Evaluating the CSV files

The charts are created using data from the CSV files.

This data can be downloaded via FTP from the

CMC III PU and then evaluated separately (e.g. with a spreadsheet such as Excel).

The maximum size of a CSV file is 4 GB. If this limit is reached, the CSV file will be saved as backup file and a new CSV file created automatically. If this second file also reaches the 4 GB limit, the first backup file will be overwritten when a new backup file is created.

 Create an empty table in Excel.

 Use Data > From text in Excel to select the CSV file to be imported and follow the instructions of the conversion wizard.

 Also observe the following settings:

Step 1 of 3:

– Data type: Separated

– Import begins in line: 1

– File origin: Windows (ANSI)

Step 2 of 3:

– Separator: Tab stop

Step 3 of 3:

– Data format of the columns: Standard

 In Step 3 of 3, click the Next... button to specify the decimal separator (setting "point") and the 1000's separator (setting "comma") used in the CSV file. Depending on the country-specific settings, these settings may already be the defaults.

Note:

If different separators are set for numeric data, the time details in column 2 cannot be converted correctly later.

Downloading the CSV files

 Establish a connection between a PC and the

CMC III PU (see section 9.1 "Establishing an FTP connection").

 In the left-hand subwindow (PC), switch to any folder in which you want to store the CSV files.

 In the right-hand subwindow (CMC III PU), switch to the "download" folder and to the "usb-stick/records" or "sd-card/records" subfolder depending on where the CSV files are stored as specified by the configuration of the associated chart.

 Right-click the desired CSV file and select the "Download" action.

The CSV files are named using the schema

"chart.##.json.csv", where "##" represents the number of the associated chart ("01" to "16").

The display of the CSV files is divided into three areas.

Area 1: General chart information in accordance with the configuration is shown in line 1 (e.g. chart name, description, start time).

Area 2: Starting at line 3, information about the variables recorded in the chart is output separated by a blank line. In particular, the first two columns are important.

Column 1: Variable designation. These designations are used as "header" in area 3.

Column 2: The exact designation of the recorded measured values.

Area 3: Finally, the time stamp and all recorded measured values are output also separated by a blank line.

Column 1 (Time0): The UNIX time (number of elapsed seconds since 01.01.1970). Unless reformatted, this time cannot be used in Excel.

Column 2 (Time1): The time value that can be used in Excel.

Columns 3 to maximum 8: The actual measured values are output in these columns.

The time value in column 2 must be converted as follows to produce a format that can be read:

Rittal CMC III Processing Unit / CMC III Processing Unit Compact 55

8 Operation

 Mark all time values in column 2.

 Right-click the marking and select the "Format cells" entry in the context menu.

 Select the "User-defined" entry in the "Category" columns on the "Numbers" tab in the "Format cells" dialogue.

 Enter the "DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss" number format in the "Type" field.

The time stamp is then output as date and time so that it can be used in a chart, for example.

8.15 Dashboards

Note:

Changes made in the dashboards described below can be made only by users who belong to the "admins" user group.

As many as 12 flexibly configurable websites can be created on the Dashboards tab. This makes it possible to define different views for different purposes and display only the required information. For example, the graphical representation in multiple columns similar to the structure of multiple enclosures monitored with a CMC III PU is conceivable.

Note:

After the direct login on a dashboard, the user is not logged out automatically after the predefined time. The user remains logged in to CMC III PU while the dashboard is open.

Note:

– The current display of the individual components is not saved when a dashboard is saved. For example, the "Device Tree" initially appears collapsed for each call, except for the "Real Devices" and "Virtual Devices" levels.

– When a dashboard is saved, all other dashboards are also saved automatically.

– If (even different) dashboards are being edited concurrently by multiple users, the changes of all other users will be lost when saved (on all dashboards).

8.15.4 Calling a dashboard

After a login, similar to configuring, a dashboard can be

called on a website (see section 8.15.2 "Configuring a dashboard"). In this case, the dashboard is opened in an

additional browser window; the actual website also

58 Rittal CMC III Processing Unit / CMC III Processing Unit Compact

remains open after leaving the dashboard. The Logout button is then not displayed in the header line.

Alternatively, the login can be made directly on a dashboard when establishing an HTTP connection (see sec-

tion 7.2.1 "Establishing the connection").

 After entering the login information, click the Login to

Dashboard button.

The dashboard view consisting only of the header line is displayed in the browser window.

 Select in the "Select Dashboard" field the dashboard to be displayed.

The "Select Dashboard" column can be used to switch at anytime between the dashboards that can be enabled. If changes have been made to the most recently selected dashboard that have not yet been saved, the "Dashboard was Modified" dialogue opens when the dashboard is switched.

 Click the Yes button if you do not want to save the changes and switch directly to the newly selected dashboard.

 Click the No button to return to the still unsaved dash-

board and then save it (see section 8.15.3 "Saving a dashboard").

8.15.5 Calling the website via a mobile terminal

The dashboard that was stored in the configuration is used to represent the website of the CMC III PU on a

mobile terminal (see section 8.6.8 "Display").

 Call in the browser of your mobile terminal the address of the CMC III PU, similarly as for a PC (see

section 7.2.1 "Establishing the connection").

 Login with your user data.

The dashboard that was saved for the mobile terminals opens.

Note:

– If multiple variable lists with many variables are defined on the dashboard, delays when calling the mobile website can occur. This is independent of the mobile terminal power.

– If a dashboard is changed, all users logged in via a mobile terminal will be logged out automatically.

8.15.6 Exiting a dashboard

A dashboard is exited by closing the browser window. If the dashboard view was enabled directly during the login by clicking the Login to Dashboard button, the

Logout button is displayed at the left of the "Username" column in the header line.

 Click the Logout button to log out completely from the CMC III PU.

9 Updates and data backup

Because FTP access to the CMC III PU is required only to perform software updates and for data backup, the access should be generally blocked and briefly activated

only for these tasks (see section 8.5.4 "File Transfer

Configuration").

9.1

Establishing an FTP connection

To establish an FTP connection, you require the IP address of the CMC III PU. If this address is not known, because, for example, the DHCP function is activated, you must first establish a connection using the USB interface

(see section 7.4.1 "Establishing the connection"). This

access is made directly so that you can use this connection to determine the IP address of the CMC III PU.

An appropriate FTP client program is also required to establish an FTP connection (or SFTP connection). Rittal recommends the use of FileZilla.

 Install an FTP client program on the computer to be used to establish the FTP connection to the

CMC III PU.

 Establish the network connection between the

CMC III PU and the computer.

 Ensure that the CMC III PU and the computer have the same address space.

 Enter the appropriate access data in the FTP program.

The following access data is entered by default:

– Host: 192.168.0.190

– Username: admin

– Password: admin

– Port: 21 (FTP) or 22 (SFTP)

 Start the connection between the computer and the

CMC III PU; you may need to activate the setting: "Bypass Proxy settings".

Perform an update

9.2.1

Notes for performing an update

Observe the following security notes for performing an update.

Note:

The user is responsible for performing the update in the associated network environment.

Before starting an update, ensure that the security application connected to the

CMC III PU can be interrupted for the duration of the update.

Ensure that you have access to the

CMC III PU, because, for example, you will need to check the current status on-site.

During the update process, the power to the

CMC III PU must not be interrupted under any circumstances.

If the update is performed using the USB connection (not possible on the

CMC III PU Compact), the USB device must not be removed during the update process.

None of the connected components for the

CMC III PU may be disconnected during the update process.

Under some circumstances, an update can reset the CMC III PU settings to their factory state.

In addition to the two possibilities described in this section to update via USB or (S)FTP, an update is also pos-

sible via the CMC III PU website (see section 8.6.6

"Firmware update").

9.2.2

Downloading the software update

A software update for the CMC III PU can be download-

ed from the Internet address specified in section 14

"Customer service addresses". The update will be pro-

vided as a tar archive.

 Download the current software version from the website and save it on your computer.

9.2.3

Update via USB

Observe the following notes for updating the CMC III PU via USB:

 An update with a USB storage medium is not possible on the CMC III PU Compact.

 The USB storage medium used for the update must be formatted as FAT.

 In addition to the file for the software update, any other data may be present on the USB storage medium.

60 Rittal CMC III Processing Unit / CMC III Processing Unit Compact

Proceed as follows to perform the update:

 Copy the downloaded tar file into the root directory of the USB storage medium.

 Start the CMC III PU if necessary.

 Wait until the multi-LED on the front lights green, orange or red continually or is flashing.

 Then insert the USB storage medium in the appropriate USB slot at the rear of the CMC III PU.

The update process starts automatically after a few minutes. This is indicated with a red flashing of the multi-

LED (so-called heartbeat, alternately long and short).

If the current software version (or a later version) is already installed on the CMC III PU, no update will be performed.

Depending on the number of connected sensors that are also updated, the complete update process takes approx. 15 minutes.

9.2.4

Update via FTP or SFTP

Proceed as follows to perform the update:

 Establish a connection between a PC and the

CMC III PU (see section 9.1 "Establishing an FTP connection").

 Switch to the "update" folder in the right-hand subwindow (CMC III PU).

 In the left-hand window (PC), switch to the folder in which you stored the update file previously.

 Right-click the update file and select the "Upload" action.

The update process starts automatically after a few seconds. This is indicated with a red flashing of the multi-

LED (so-called heartbeat, alternately long and short).

9.2.5

Perform the update

The system reboots automatically when the CMC III PU update has completed. On completion of the booting, the LED on the front indicates the CMC III PU status: green, orange or red.

An update of the connected sensors may then be performed. During this process, the status LED of the sensors flashes fast, the status LED of the CMC III PU flashes white. The sensor currently being updated also flashes violet.

Note:

Under no circumstances may the sensors be disconnected from the CMC III PU during the update.

The update of the CMC III PU is completed when the following conditions are satisfied:

1. The LED on the front of the CMC III PU lights to indicate the status: green, orange or red.

2. The LEDs on the bus connection of the sensors light green.

3. The multi-LEDs of the sensors behind the front cover flash blue.

9 Updates and data backup

The progress of the update is logged in the "*.status" file.

Depending on the type of the update process, this file is located either in the root directory of the USB storage medium or in the Update folder of the CMC III PU. The status file is a text file that can be opened with an editor or a text processing program.

 For an update via (S)FTP or the website: Transfer this file using an FTP connection from the Update folder of the CMC III PU to a PC.

 For an update via USB: Copy instead from the USB storage medium to a PC.

 Open the file with an editor and check whether the update was performed successfully or whether error messages have been issued.

Note:

Finally press the "Ctrl"+"F5" key combination in the browser to reload the complete website from the CMC III PU. All the changes now act.

9.3

Performing a data backup

Rittal recommends that a data backup of the CMC III PU

configuration is made regularly (see section 9.2

"Perform an update").

Proceed as follows to perform a data backup:

 Establish an FTP connection between a PC and the

CMC III PU (see section 9.1 "Establishing an FTP connection").

 In the left-hand subwindow (PC), switch to any folder in which you want to store the data backup.

 Switch to the "download" folder in the right-hand subwindow (CMC III PU).

 Right-click the "cmcIIIsave.cfg" (as of software version

V3.11.00) file and select the "Download" action.

The settings and configurations of all connected components as displayed currently for the individual sensors on

the Observation (see section 8.3 "Observation tab")

and Configuration (see section 8.4 "Configuration tab")

tabs are stored in this file.

For a second CMC III PU, this configuration file can be placed for transfer similarly in the upload directory. All general settings (other than the TCP/IP settings) are then taken from this file. If the same sensors, etc. are also installed in the same sequence on the second CMC III PU, all limit values of these sensors are also transferred.

Note:

A configuration file which was saved by a

CMC III PU with an older software version cannot be transferred to a CMC III PU with a more recent software version.

13 Glossary

CMC III PU (CMC III Processing Unit):

The CMC III PU is the core product of the Rittal enclosure monitoring and control system for the electronic monitoring of enclosures and server racks.

GSM card:

Telephone card for a mobile telephone.

Hysteresis:

If an upper limit value is overshot (SetPtHigh) or a lower limit value is undershot (SetPtLow) a warning or an alarm will be output immediately. For a hysteresis of x%, the warning or alarm for undershooting an upper limit value or overshooting a lower limit value clears only for a difference of x/100*limit value to the limit value.

LDAP:

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol from network technology. It permits information of a directory service to be requested via an IP network. In the CMC III PU, the user administration can be transferred from an LDAP server.

MIB (Management Information Base):

The MIB was developed to fetch and change network elements. The MIB for SNMP was defined in the

RFC 1157; the MIB-II for TCP/IP was defined in the

RFC 1213. The MIBs have been registered as the OID for the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority).

Once an object has been assigned to an OID, the meaning may no longer be changed. An overlapping with other OIDs is not permitted.

OPC-UA:

OPC Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) is an industrial machine-to-machine communications protocol. It permits, for example, the sensor data to be requested from a control room system.

SMS service number:

The telephone number that the telephone provider makes available for sending SMS messages.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol):

The SNMP is a simple network management protocol based on TCP/IP. It was developed to allow network components to be monitored and controlled at a central management station.

Telnet:

Telnet is a protocol to allow guest access to a remote server. The Telnet program provides the required client functions of the protocol.

13 Glossary

Trap:

Trap is the unrequested sending of SNMP messages.

Trap receiver:

The trap receiver is the recipient of SNMP messages.
