1.2.2 System Access Module (eSAM or bSAM)
The System Access Module (SAM) installs
in slot 2 of the rack, it provides data to
external systems and simplifies
configuration of the rack. There are two
versions of the SAM; The basic SAM
(bSAM) and the enhanced SAM (eSAM).
bSAM
• Configuration of all modules
• Rack system and alarm event lists
• Modbus data
eSAM (preferred)
• All bSAM functionality
• Remote configuration and display
• CMS-SD
• CMS-HD
• CMS-XC
• CMS-PI
• Local touch panel display
eSAM features are a la carte and must be
selected (licensed) when ordering.
The serial Modbus links for the SAM include
RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485. The Serial
Modbus port uses an RJ-45 connector for
convenience, but it is not an Ethernet port.
Redundant Modbus is accomplished using a
primary SAM in slot 2 and a secondary SAM
in slot 3.
A SAM is not mandatory. Both slot 2 and
slot 3 support monitoring modules if a SAM
is not installed. All UMM/TMM monitoring
and alarming functions are independent of
the SAM. However, without a SAM in the
rack, all modules must be configured
independently.
The bSAM and the eSAM use the same
faceplate and look the same. Use VC-8000
maintenance software to verify which SAM
(and licenses) that you have installed (see
section 23.10).
