4.3 Digital inputs
Warning - hazardous electrical voltage!
Danger of electric shock! BEFORE and AFTER connection it
must checked that the 230 V AC relay outputs are off load!
The CI 3000 Store Computer has two 230 V AC digital inputs: A1, A2 and B1, B2.
These can be configured for the monitoring and alarm messaging of external maintenance groups (external
alarms), i.e. special inputs (see chapter 4.3.2) or as meter inputs (see chapter 5.5.3).
With the deployment of up to a max. of 4 SIOX extension modules, the number of inputs can be increased to a max.
of 50 digital inputs (12 additional digital inputs per SIOX module). With the use of a BMS controller the number of
digital inputs, depending on the system, can be further increased.
4.3.1 Message and Alarm Inputs
Configuration
The digital message and alarm inputs are initially deactivated and must be configured before use in menu 6-1-2.
The message and alarm inputs can be configured so that they operate according to either the closed circuit or
open circuit principle, i.e. an alarm message is generated when the signal voltage is absent (low active) or
present (high active). Each message and alarm input can be assigned an individual, freely configurable 19 char
acter text message which is displayed in the alarm message.
Alarm can be delayed for an adjustable interval between 0 and 255 minutes. Each alarm input also has defin
able alarm priority between 0 and 99. Alarm inputs of priority 1 and 99 actuate normal alarms that are displayed
in the alarm log and are forwarded via the alarm routes configured. The lowest priority number in each group
(0,10,20,..90) is reserved for messages which are only recorded in the message list. For more information on
the priority concept see chapter 4.1.2.1.
If a BMS controller is connected to the store computer, then changes to the SIOX extension modules
(e.g. configuration of the alarm outputs, meter etc.) using the LDSWin PC software can only be car
ried out with a BMS dongle.
Alarm signalling failure! In the event of the failure of a SIOX extension module with connected ex
ternal alarms then their monitoring also ceases. The failure of a SIOX extension module generates
an alarm message. No further alarm will be generated however if an alarm state occurs on any one
of the inputs affected.
