TCU for Standby Power communication driver

 

TCU for Standby Power communication driver is the driver to communicate with standby power monitoring controller of M.Nextec LNC. in Korea.

 

1. Read Settings

 

<Figure 1> is read setting example of TCU for Standby Power communication driver.

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of TCU for Standby Power communication driver

Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM8), Baud Rate(9600), Parity Bit(0), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) respectively, according to setting of controller.

 

TCU for Standby Power communication driver read schedule

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) TCU ID – 0 ~ 99 TCU ID.

2) Read command – command = STS.xx, CURR.xx, SB.xx. ( refer to <Table 1> )

3) Read device ID – device ID number.

4) Save start address for Communication Server – Saving start address of Communication Server.

5) Read Size – fixed to 1.

 

Read schedule example)

READ, 1, STS.S8, 1,   0, 1,

READ, 1, CURR.S8, 1, 10, 1,

 

<Table 1> is read command and contents of TCU for Standby Power.

<Table 2> is data saving address and contents of STS read command. Also, <Table 3> is data saving address and contents of CURR, SB read command.

Read command Contents Remarks
STS.xx read of output status xx = sort of device,
S8, S4, S2, S1, F8, F4, R8, R4
(S = switch, F = FRTU, R = relay)
CURR.xx read of current power of FRCU
SB.xx read of setting standby power of FRCU
<Table 1> Read command and contents of TCU for Standby Power
Data saving address Contents Remarks
start addr + 0  relay On/Off status  1 = On, 0 = Off
start addr + 1 Auto/Manual status for each channel  1 = Auto, 0 = Manual
start addr + 2 Flag Under status 1 = standby >= current
0 = standby < current
<Table 2> Data saving address and contents of STS read command
Data saving address Contents Remarks
start addr + 0 ~ 7 current/standby power value of channel 1 ~ 8 word unit
real value = read value / 10
<Table 3> Data saving address and contents of CURR, SB read command

 

TCU for Standby Power communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT memory, but the data format are different.

If you click the icon  in protocol option part at <Figure 1>, you can see the dialogue box such as <Figure 2>. you can also set read schedule by using this part. 

<Figure 2> Example of TCU for Standby Power communication driver¡¯s Option dialog box

 

You can set read schedule by using , , button and listbox of <Figure 2>.

When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.

 

2. Writing settings

You can control TCU controller by using 'writing settings'. 

 

Digital Write

Digital write and analog write have the same setting parameters except output value. 

 

Analog Write 

Analog write setting parameters are as follows:

1)  PORT                   Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2)  STATION             0 ~ 99 TCU ID.

3)  ADDRESS          device ID number.

4)  Extra1                  writing command = S8.x, S4.x, S2.x, S1.x, F8.x, F4.x, R8.x, R4.x. (S = switch, F = FRTU, R = relay)

x : 1 ~ 3 Event number, 1 = Relay On/Off (RELAY,standby module), 2 = Auto/Manual change(only standby module), 3 = setting of standby power(only standby module)

5) Extra2                   channel number.

 

Write example 1)

PORT:0,  station:1, ADDRESS:0002, Extra1: S8.1,  Extra2 : 3

The setting parameter shown above is Relay On( 1 )/Off( 0 ) control example of  TCU ID = 1, device ID = 2, Switch 8 module,  channel number = 3.

 

Block Write

TCU for Standby Power communication driver don't support 'Block Write'.

 

3. Connection of main power and communication cable

Connection of main power and communication cable are as follows:

 

Connection of main power

Please connect 24V DC main power to +24, 0 connector such as <figure 4>.

 

Connection of communication cable

Please connect RS-485 communication cable to +A2( + ), B2( - ) connector.

<Figure 4> is connection example of main power and communication cable to TCU controller.
