3.1 Installation
Handling
WARNING
The electrostatic discharges may damage semi-conducive devices within the module, if the
connector pins are in contact with the backplane.
Please note the following precautions to avoid electrostatic damages:
• You should handle the module from the front side, as far as possible from the backplane
connectors.
• You should never touch the pins of the backplane connector.
• You should keep the module in its antistatic bag or packaging box, when unused.
Module Location within the Chassis

All modules must be installed always in vertical position.
When using a power supply such as the SM_PS or SM_PS40 module, it must be located in the
position 1 (slot1 left-hand side). In redundant-power supply configurations, there must be two
reserved positions for the two power supply modules. These positions must be 1 and 2.
Remaining modules can be located in any position (slot) within the chassis.
Figure 8 - Backplane positions
Modules must be grouped to minimize the adverse effects caused by noise and heat, therefore,
modules, and more specifically the CPU modules, must be placed as far as possible from the
modules which operate at alternating currents or high currents.
If the system has redundant CPUs, both control modules must be put together in the backplane
Power Supply Requirements
WARNING
The voltage input for the backplane is 5.4 ± 0.2 VDC. The external voltage input isn't protected
against overvoltage nor polarity inversion, so an incorrect wiring or an incorrect adjustment of
the supply voltage could damage electronic.
R&D Digital Seville

Pag 22
The SM_PS and SM_PS40 modules (power-supplies) are scalable to supply power to the modules
connected to the backplane, as required. When using auxiliary power supplies, it is necessary to
scale them depending on the installed Saitel DP modules.
The consumption of all modules will be added plus a safety margin (between 20% and 50% of the
full power). The power supply efficiency typically, 70 - 90% shall also be considered, in order to
protect the chassis and power supply from overloading.
Mounting Procedure
To mount the module in the backplane, please follow the following instructions:
• Switch off the backplane’s power supply.
• Mount the module at the desired position within the backplane and verify that the rear rails are
properly mounted using the pre-drilled holes on the backplane.
• Firmly press the module to assure the connector fits in the backplane connector properly.
Check whether the module is correctly mounted to the backplane base.
• Fix the module to the backplane using the screw located at the top.
• Insert the terminal or flat ribbon connectors.
Configuration Switches
The module’s identification and Profibus communication speed can be set using the microswitches
on the module's rear panel. Each microswitch has the following functions:
Figure 9 - Profibus switches for module configuration
The module’s identification must be unique, selecting between 1 and 96 using microswitches 1 to
7. The address 0 and from 97 to 127 are reserved and never can be assigned. In other case,
several messages are generated when the system boot.
The address definition will be as follows:
P1*20 + P2*21 + P3*22 + P4*23 + P5*24 + P6*25 + P7*26
Assuming Px is the value assigned to the position of microswitch x (0 is OFF and 1 is ON). For
example, if switches 2, 4 and 5 are in the ON position, the Profibus address of the module is 26.
The Profibus communication speed must be the same for all Saitel DP modules, which is
determined by the speed of the master, configured by software, in the control module. The speed is
set using microswitches 9, 10 and 11 as shown in the following table:
R&D Digital Seville

OFF ON OFF 187.5 kbaud
OFF ON ON 500 kbaud
ON OFF OFF 1.5 Mbaud
ON OFF ON Not available
ON ON OFF Not available
ON ON ON Not available
NOTICE
For optimal system performance is recommended to set the Profibus rate to 1.5 Mbaud.
Microswitches 8 and 12 are reserved and must be set to OFF, except for the SM_DI32 module
3.2 Wiring SM_AI8AO4

The SM_AI8AO4 module can be connected to the field using two different procedures defined by
option C1 (terminal connection), and option C2 (flat-ribbon connection). Chapter “Installation”
above describes the major differences between these two connection options.
Field Connection
The following figure shows the pin allocation of the connectors for C1 option. The connector B1 is
located at the top and the connector B2 at the bottom.
Figure 10 - SM_AI8AO4 direct connection (option C1)
Where:
• AI0x: Analog input x.
• AOx: Analog output x.
• AOxValid: Shows the validity of the assigned value.
R&D Digital Seville

Pag 24
• AOxShield: Terminal for shield connection.
• NC: Not connected.

The analog inputs of the SM_AI8AO4 module are differential, so there are no common terminals.
The connector B1 has 8 pairs of signals corresponding to the 8 analog inputs. The analog outputs
are differential, and they have two validations and an "A0xShield" signals associated to connect the
cable’s shield.
Analog Output Validation

Each analog output has a signal which is used to indicate the validity of the allocated output value.
Such signal (AOxValid1 and AOxValid2) is provided by a contact of a solid-state relay supporting
alternating and direct voltages (320 VMAX and 150 mA).
Those relays will be active (closed contacts) provided the corresponding analog output board and
channel have been set properly. If the module stops communicating with the CPU or the analog
output channel has a Break or PFail diagnostic, then the solid-state relay will be deactivated.

1. A Backplane is a set of I/O modules connected to a CPU and a Power Supply.
2. An SM is a Saitel DP input/output module.
3. Each I/O module is allocated to a unique address in the backplane.
4. The Addressing Procedure is carried out manually through the switches of each module.
In Easergy it is necessary to match this address with the one shown by said switches.
More information in 3.1.5.

SM_AI8AO4 Signals
Select a SM_AI8AO4 module on the tree to open the configuration screen, which includes a
module with analog inputs and outputs. The configuration window has two panels:
• Analog Inputs
• Analog Outputs
Figure 28 - SM_AI8AO4 Module configuration
Each signal has associated the following fields:
• AIx / AOx: Signal description. This value can be changed although it does not affect the
signal’s identification, as its identification label, which is automatically attached, is internal and
cannot be changed. This is applicable to all signal descriptions in all modules.
• Rng: Signal’s voltage range.
• EGU: Flag indicating whether engineering units are considered. El value “N” indicates
“engineering units” (the Bin output will be between EMIN and EMAX) and the value “Y”
indicates “counts”. These signals when configured in counts can take a value between:
o EMin: Minimum value expressed in engineering units. The range is: -32768 to 32767.
o EMax: Maximum value expressed in engineering units. The range is: -32768 to
32767.
• The “AC FILTER” field is associated to a band rejection filter at 50/60 Hz to avoid the damaging
effects of network noise. If no filter needs to be used, set NONE.
• Rst: Value taken by the output after a CPU reset (% of output range).
• Keep: If the value is set to “Y” the output is retained. if the communication with the CPU is lost.
Local Acquisition Coordinates

The coordinate is a unique identifier of a signal within a Bin. Its definition is different for each
Device and the local acquisition is defined with ten digits with the following format:
2 BBB CC DDDD
• 2: The first number of its coordinate for all Saitel DP local acquisition signals will be 2.
• BBB: Three digits to indicate the point address according to the previous communication
protocol. In the case of Profibus-DP, the address range is from 000 to 125.
R&D Digital Seville
Pag 37
• CC: Type of signal, which includes:

o 00: Diagnostic signals of the acquisition modules.
o 01: Analog input (16-bit).
o 04: Analog output (16 bits).
o 12: Analog input (8 bits) (Inputs table of Profibus).
o 18: Analog output (8 bits) (Inputs table of Profibus).
• DDDD: Number of the signal within each type, that is, it does not need to match the physical
position. The first signal of a type will be 0000, the second will be 0001 ..., with all the types of
the previous point.
