ATF System with C410:V3 Controller
5.3 Primary Electric Services
Electric plug (j) - Located on the E-Box. Electric power (standard 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz).
Power switch (m) - Located on E-Box.
Power indicator Light - same as the power switch. Lights green when power is ON
Stop Button(a, n) - Located on the P-Box and E-Box.
Either Stop Button, causes the system cease operation and default to Standby mode,
when the Diaphragm Pump defaults to Exhaust.
5.4 Signal
A total of 4 Sensor input plugs (c) are provided on the P-Box. All inputs are analogue 4-
20mA. Three plugs P3, P4 and P5 are for pressure inputs. One plug W1 is for a load cell
input.
Ethernet (q) - communication port for data acquisition on E-Box.
Relays – Two relay outputs are for relaying alarm conditions (o). Two relays for driving a
harvest pump (p).
Interconnect (Signal) Cable (I-Cable) - to relay signal and DC power between E-Box and P-Box.
5.5 C410:V3 Ethernet set-up and Connectivity
Ethernet Infrastructure
The communication link between the Windows environment and the XCell
TM
ATF Controller
is based on Profinet®. Profinet® is an open Industrial Ethernet standard developed by the
PROFIBUS Organization and is standard Ethernet (IEEE802.3). The Profinet® communication
protocol sends and receives data using the open Ethernet TCP/IP standard at a bandwidth of
100 Mbit/s and functions identical to traditional industrial Ethernet in providing “real-time”
channel for time-critical communications (i.e. process data)
Ethernet Configuration
The communications interface between the controller HMI and PLC is based on Profinet
(Industrial Ethernet). The controller is factory set to the following IP settings:
This factory default setting has the HMI and PLC on the same subnet allowing proper
communications to take place. If ‘####’ appears in input fields and the software version is
not displayed on the administration screen, the HMI and PLC may not be properly
connected and the connection may need to be reset. See Appendix 4 for instructions on
how to set IP Addresses and connections.
