DSE Model 5310 Automatic Mains Failure & Instrumentation System Operators Manual
60 Part No. 057-013 5310 OPERATING MANUAL ISSUE 7.1 18/06/2007 ADM
14.8 COMMUNICATIONS OPTION CONNECTIONS
14.8.1 DESCRIPTION
The 5xxx series configuration software allows the 5310 controller to communicate with a PC. The computer can be
connected to the module either directly (P810 shown to the right), via a modem (RS232)* or via an RS485 link**.
The operator is then able to remotely control the module, starting or stopping the generator, selecting operating
modes, etc. The various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) on the remote generator
can also be viewed.
The information contained in this manual should be read in conjunction with the appropriate module
documentation. This manual only details the operation of the communications software and how it should be used.
The operation of the module is detailed in its own relevant manual.
NOTE: - *If modem communications is a requirement, then it is important to order the correct 5310
module with the RS232 communications board fitted. This provides a 9-way D-type connector suitable
for connection to the modem. Please refer to the
comms
section of this manual for details of how the
system should be configured.
**If RS485 communications is required, then it is important to order the correct 5310 module with the
RS485 communications board fitted. This provides a 3-way terminal block for connection of the RS485
link.
14.8.2 PC TO CONTROLLER (DIRECT) CONNECTION
To connect a 5310 to a modem the following items are required: -
• Any 5310 Module (RS232 or RS485)
• 5xxx series configuration software (Supplied on DSE software
CD).
• P810 interface (USB or RS232 as required)
14.8.3 MODEM TO CONTROLLER CONNECTION
To connect a 5310 to a modem the following items are required: -
• 5310 Module with RS232 Communications Interface
• Compatible RS232 Modem (PSTN or GSM)
• Suitable connection leads
• Power supply for the modem
• 5xxx series configuration software (Supplied on DSE software CD).
• Access to a PSTN Line or GSM network.
CAUTION! - The modem must be powered from a suitably stabilised supply, preferably supplied with
the modem (see below). Failure to ensure continuity of supply will result in communication difficulties at
such times as Mains failure or during cranking. An uninterruptible power supply arrangement is
recommended (AC or DC depending on modem power requirement).
