Unit configuration
3.5. Communication configuration
3.5.1. Communication via front door (Port 1_1) and rear port Nr. 2 (Port 1_2) (COM 1)
The ekor.rps unit has an address identifying number, which
makes possible to identify the messages sent to the unit,
from the PC, via its front port (or via its rear port in parallel),
with protocol PROCOME. This address is programmable
from the keyboard/display, entering “CHANGE SETTINGS”,
“PROG. TABLE 0”, “CONFIG.COMMUNIC.”, “FRONT PORT”, “UCL
ADDRESS”.
The units leave the factory with the address 1. This number
is the one used in the engineering program when dening
the installation.
If, for any reason, this number is changed in engineering, the
address programming has to be changed, and vice versa.
If the ekor.rps unit is replaced by another one, the installed
unit must have the same address as the removed one.
They are also programmable in the unit within the “CONFIG.
COMUNICAC.”: The baud rate, the parity and the number of
stop bits. The units leave the factory at 19 200 baud, even
parity, 1 bit of Stop.
The established communications settings can be seen on
display, entering “SEE SETINGS”, “SEE TABLE 0”, “CONFIG.
COMMUNIC.», “PORT COM 1”
115 200 baud rate or higher, they are only used for Firmware
teleload, and not to be used in normal operation.
3.5.2. Communication via rear port Nr. 1 (Port 2) (COM 2)
The protocol type to be used by this port is dened in
“CHANGE SETTINGS”, “PROG. TABLE 0”, “CONFIG. COMMUNIC
"SELEC. COMMU. COM 2". The options are: PROCOME, DNP,
MODBUS, IEC 870-5-101 or IEC 870-5-103.
PROCOME
If the option chosen is PROCOME, in “CHANGE SETTINGS”,
“PROG. TABLE 0”, “CONFIG. COMMUNIC.”, “PORT COM2”, a
setting group is programmed which is analogous to the one
dening the front port (it is not necessary that they have
the same values), but there also exists the setting “CONTROL
SIGNALS”, with the options “none” and “RTS.
DNP
If the option chosen is DNP, the address is programmable
from the keyboard/display, entering “CHANGE SETTINGS”,
“PROG. TABLE 0”, “PORT COM 2”, “CONFIG. DNP”, “LCU
ADDRESS”. This address does not need to be the same
as the one of the front port, but it is convenient to avoid
confusions. The units leave the factory with the address and
the rest of DNP parameters without being programmed.
They have to be programmed by the user.
If a replacement of the ekor.rps unit by other is made,
the installed unit must have the same address as the one
removed.
The unit also has an identication number of the Master unit
to which is connected, and which only accepts messages
coming from there. It is also programmable in the unit
within the “CONFIG. DNP”. The units leave the factory with
the address 0. The baud rate, the parity and the number
of STOP bits are also programmable. The units leave the
factory at 9600 baud, without parity, 1 STOP bit.
The established communication settings can be seen on
the display, entering “SEE SETTINGS”, “SEE TABLE 0”, CONFIG.
COMMUNICAT.”, “PORT COM 2”, “CONFIG. DNP”.
Apart from the keyboard/display, the settings can also be
displayed/programmed from the PC with the protection
console.
For more detail on communication DNP, see the
corresponding appendix.
