EMIC/MBA

Description

The EMIC/MBA (Ethernet M-Bus Metering Interface Controller) provides an interface for up to 3, 10, or 20 energy meters. It connects to the Trend system using Ethernet, and to the meters using M-Bus, via an RS232 to M-Bus converter. It takes a Trend LAN for its own use, each meter being represented by a virtual outstation on that LAN. Data from each meter is collected using the M-Bus and stored in the EMIC within the relevant outstation. Each meter can be chosen from a range of meters from various suppliers including the Trend HMM heat meters. It can be configured using its integral web server.

Features

▪ Versions for 3, 10, or 20 M-Bus meters ▪ A wide range of easily selectable meter definitions is available ▪ Configurable using built-in web pages ▪ Meters appear as outstations on a LAN ▪ RS232 cable provided ▪ EMIC IPTool can find EMICs’ IP addresses ▪ DHCP capability

EMIC/MBA Data Sheet

FUNCTIONALITYThe EMIC/MBA’s functionality can be divided into four sections: System, Hardware, Firmware, and Web Pages.

SYSTEM

The EMIC is a member of the internetwork, and its firmware simulates a LAN with each meter represented as an outstation (e.g. IQ® Controller).

It has two vCNCs (virtual CNCs), one at the default address of 119, which are for use within the EMIC.

In the above diagram, the Supervisor connects to the XTEND’s LAN using a supervisor mode vCNC. The vINCs (in XTEND, EMIC, and IQ controller) construct an internetwork. The supervisor can communicate across the internetwork to obtain the meter readings from a vOS.

A vOS can send Sensor High and Low alarms to the supervisor either through the XTEND’s vCNC in supervisor mode if the supervisor is permanently connected or through a XTEND vCNC set to alarm mode if the supervisor is not permanently connected.

The IQ controller is able to send IC Communications to the EMIC/MDA (e.g. to obtain meter readings). The IC Comms cannot be attribute comms so are limited to simple Data To and Data From comms.

It is not recommended that the EMIC vCNCs be used to connect to the system.

The diagram below shows the physical connections equivalent to the above schematic.

converter

RS232

The Supervisor, IQ controller, XTEND, and EMIC are connected to the Ethernet bus. The EMIC/MDA is connected to its meters by way of an RS232/M-Bus converter.

Note: The EMIC takes a fixed IP address by default but this may be changed to DHCP addressing (on the IP settings web page). If sending IP alarms, the destination device (e.g. supervisor) must have a fixed address.

Note: Installing this unit as part of a Building Management System can support April 2006 Part L2 Building Regulations compliance.

HArDwArE

The EMIC consists of a metal box which can be either surface mounted (using 4 off 4 mm holes) or DIN rail mounted (using the screws and clips provided with the unit).

Supply: The unit requires 24 Vdc at 300 mA via a two part two terminal connector. The supply should be floating (not earthed/grounded) The configuration data is saved to disk on power fail, and a supercapacitor supports the real time clock for about 7 days.

Ethernet: The Ethernet connection to the Trend system is via an RJ45 connector. Typical connections to the Trend system are shown in the diagram above in the system section. An example is a direct connection of a PC to the EMIC using a standard Ethernet cable with a crossover adaptor.

Standard Ethernet cable

This configuration can be used for browser access (not 963) to the EMIC’s web pages to configure the EMIC.

rS232: The RS232 connection to the RS232/M-Bus converter is via an RJ45 connector located on the bottom edge of the unit. A 2.5 m RJ45 to RS232 cable is supplied with the unit.

The EMIC connection to the meters is by RS232/M-Bus which is multidrop, and half duplex. The EMIC is the master, and the meters are slaves.

Meters

The EMIC will communicate as an M-Bus master with either 3, 10, or 20 meters depending on the variant. Each meter will appear as a virtual outstation (vOS)

There are 23 meter definitions stored in the EMIC and each virtual outstation can be set to one of those types. The types of meter are:

Hydrometer Ray (v67), Sharky 773 (v46)Itron Actaris CF51WDV/Molliné SensoStar2 (v14)

Up to 20 meter points can be transferred from each meter to the vOS where they will appear as sensor module (sensors 1 to 20) values. The points for each type of meter are shown in the tables on the following two pages. In addition, sensors 21 to 40 can be used to display the Calculator results e.g. Cumulative kWh over 15 mins.

The EMIC has to be set up with each meter’s primary M-Bus address in the range 1 to 255 (see slave number in meter configuration page); this may need to be set up in the meter.

For example: Each Trend HMM has a default primary address of ‘1’, and a secondary address printed on the label. The Hydro-Set utility software can communicate with the meter using its secondary address, enabling its primary address to be set up.

The meters will normally automatically set their baud rates to correspond to the EMIC (see Comms Settings section).

wEB PAGES

The EMIC is configured via its web pages. They can be accessed by a web browser using the EMIC’s IP address. The current version of Adobe Flash Player must be installed in the computer in order to access the web pages.

All EMICs have their IP Addresses set to the same default, and the required IP address is normally setup during installation by connecting a laptop running a browser to the Ethernet port using a crossover adaptor. However, if DHCP is enable (on the Local IP Settings web page) the IP address can be set up by a DHCP server.

The IP addresses of the EMICs connected to an Ethernet network can be found using the EMIC IPTool (available from the Trend Partnernet website).

Access to the web pages is protected by User name and Password. The EMIC is set up with a default user name, and password; these must be changed to prevent unauthorised access.

Note: If the User name or Password have been forgotten contact Trend Technical Support.

The main menu page gives access to 6 pages:

When an outstation is created in the Number of Outstations (OSs)/Lan Number section, a record is set up for the outstation, and an OS icon is added to the left side of the page. The OS’s record is selected using the vertical scroll bar, and clicking on the OS’s icon. This enables access to the following for the selected meter:

Address moduleSensorsUsers

Number of Outstations (OSs)/Lan Number

Num. OSs: This shows the number of outstations set up.

An outstation can be added using the + button, or deleted using the - button. An existing outstation (including all its details) can be duplicated using the x2 button. Outstations can be created in the address range 1 to 119 excluding 2, 3, 10. Once the vOSs are created they should be set up with their meters using the meter configuration described below.

Lan Number: This shows the LAN number for the EMIC’s LAN which includes all the vOSs. It enables the EMIC’s LAN number to be set up or changed.

VCNC

External vCNC Internal vCNC

On entry one of the vCNC’s Ethernet node number, Port number and Timeout are shown.

Selecting the right arrow displays the same parameters for the other vCNC.

It is recommended that the EMIC vCNCs are not used to connect to the system.


EMIC/MBA Data Sheet

Time and Date

The EMIC contains a real time clock used to measure plot intervals and time stamp alarm messages. This page enables the time (using 24 hour notation), date (day, month, year) to be monitored and changed. The real time clock can be synchronised by a system timemaster, which would automatically re synchronise it at 00.05 hours. The clock is maintained for 7 days by a supercapacitor in case of power failure.

UDP group

Only devices in the same UDP (User Diagram Protocol) group can construct a communication network, so the other devices on the network (including across internetwork) must use the same UDP group number. This defaults to 57612.

GUID

The Human and Machine GUIDs are used on multi-site systems to identify the source of IP alarms. On a site with multiple Trend devices both GUIDs must all be set to match those of the other devices on the site.

Address Module

Selected outstation (meter)

Identifier: The identifier for the virtual outstation, normally the meter name.

Use IP Alarms: If this is unchecked the alarms (vOS sensor alarms) will be sent to a Trend address (device address, LAN number), but if checked the alarms will be sent to an IP address (IP address, port number). The receiving device will normally be a supervisor or display panel.

Alarm address: The device address on the Trend network to which the alarms are sent.

On remote LAN: The LAN number of the device to which the alarms are sent.

IP: The IP address of the device to which alarms are sent (e.g of format 192,168.2.28).

Port: The port address to which alarms are sent (e.g. 2774).

Sensors

This page is populated when the meter type is selected on the Meter Configuration page (see below), and the Save button is selected (with appropriately enabled check boxes). This will set up the labels and units according to the pre-defined table for the particular meter type (see ‘Meter points’ above). This page also displays the last received value for each sensor, and includes parameters to define and enable required high and low alarms, and to determine plot intervals and enable individual plots. Selecting the Send button will store the changes in the unit.

Label: The label of the sensor - normally pre-loaded from the table, but can be edited if required.

Value: Current value of the sensor.

Units: The units for the sensor - normally pre-loaded from the table, but can be edited if required.

H. Lim./L.Lim.: The high and low alarm limits for the sensor. Can be edited. The high limit must be higher than the low limit.

H. Enab./L. Enab.: Check the appropriate boxes to enable the High and/or Low alarms to be reported.

Plot: Check the box to enable the sensor to be plotted.

Plot Interval: This sets the plot interval in the range:1 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 30 m, 1 h, 6 h, 24 h.

Set all: Checking this box will set all the sensors to be plotted at the interval specified

Users

This page enables the EMIC security to be set up. This applies to text comms being received by the EMIC.

There are up to 6 users each with a 4 digit PIN number and an associated PIN level. The administrator level (level 99) should be set up first. Selecting the Save button will store the changes.

Pin Number: A four digit PIN number in range 0000 to 9999

Pin Level: A PIN level in the range 0 to 99. A PIN Level of 95 or greater is required to change module parameters using text comms; a PIN of level less than 95 can only read parameters.


Data Sheet EMIC/MBA

Calculator

The Calculator page shows the calculations that have been setup in the EMIC. This enables a number of calculations (maximum 1000) to be set up; each will have an index number and label, each can have a sequence of up to 5 operations, and each is performed at a defined frequency.

This feature is used to calculate the Cumulative kWh for each meter. This requires 3 calculations for each meter:

Calculation 1 Copy Total Active Energy (S1) to S27 (performed once a period).

Calculation 2 Copy Calculated difference from S28 to S26 (performed once a period).

Calculation 3 Calculate difference between Current Total Active Energy (S1) and the last value stored in S27; store in S28 (performed as often as possible).

S26 is the Cumulative kWh taken over the period and is displayed on the web page.

S27 is the latest Total Active Energy value stored at the beginning of the period (not displayed on the web page)

S28 is the accumulating kWh; the energy consumed so far into the period (not displayed on the web page).

If required these calculations must be set up in the EMIC.

The buttons along the top operate as follows:

Add a calculation to next available index

Add a new row before selected index

Delete calculation at selected index

Replicates an existing calculation a defined number of times, automatically changing the outstation or sensor numbers as required.

Clicking on a calculation shows the details of its operations in the schematic diagram below.

Frequency

source operand configuration

Destination configuration

Operation 1 configuration

The above diagram shows the calculation as a sequence of 5 operations. The first operation has 2 inputs (source operand input A, and input B), and each subsequent operation takes the previous output and another input, and the output of the final operation is the output of the complete calculation.

For Calculation 3, only the first operation is set up so that all 4 subsequent operations just pass operation 1’s calculated value through. Operation 1 is set up with inputs S1 and S27, and performs function A-B (i.e. S1-S27)

Clicking on the frequency icon enables the period to be set up. This calculation is set to ‘Every given second’ at 1 second, but calculations 1 and 2 are set to occur ‘Every given minutes’.

When set to ‘Every given minutes’ the ‘Parameter’ must be set up to define the number of minutes. This enables the user to select Cumulated kWh over 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour etc..

Clicking on the Source Operand configuration icon enables the first operation source A to be defined.

Operand Type: These calculations use a module output, but it can also be a constant (in which case the fixed value can be entered).

OS: The source outstation number.

Module type: This must be set to ‘Sensor (S)’.

Module number: The sensor number.

Clicking on the first operation setup icon enables the first operation to be configured. This is only set up for calculation 3.

Operation type: Set to A-B for calculation 3.

Operand Type, OS, Module type, and Module number are of the same function as those in the source operand setup but refer to the operations’s input B. For calculation 3 it is set to outstation 20, sensor 27.


EMIC/MBA Data Sheet

Meter Configuration

Once the vOSs are set up in the Number of Outstations (OSs)/Lan Number section, this page can be used to defined the meter used by each vOS, and to set up the meter security. Selecting the Save button will store the changes in the unit.

Slave Number: The primary address of the meter on the M-Bus (in range 1 to 249).

Meter Type: The type of meter at the M-Bus primary address. This will automatically populate its sensors’ labels and units.

OS: The virtual outstation address on the Trend LAN of the outstation associated with this meter. The outstations are created on the network configuration page.

Set Identifier, Set Labels, Set Units: Checking either of these boxes enables the parameters to be set up when the Save button is pressed.

Information area: This area displays information that may be useful when configuring a meter.

Creates an additional record shown as an additional row on the table enabling a new meter to be set up.Deletes the meter record and clear the row from the table.

Trend Security

This page enables each PIN number created on the Network Configuration/Users page to be associated with groups of networked devices. If the PIN level is greater than 95, this will enable text comms to change the configuration parameters of each device with that particular PIN (e.g. sensor high alarm limit). Selecting the Send button will store the changes in the unit.

Pin number: The PIN number of the user.

LAN/OS: The LAN number and device address of the networked device whose parameters can be changed by the user with this PIN number..

Local IP Settings

This page enables the IP settings (Hostname, IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, and DHCP enabling) to be monitored or changed.

Host name: This is the name used to address the EMIC when it has DHCP (auto-addressing) enabled. It is limited to 15 characters. Because the IP address may change, the EMIC must be addressed by its hostname which remains fixed.

IP Address: The IP address must be unique on the network. It must be a fixed IP address and can be changed manually. It is set up using the standard 32 bit dotted decimal notation. Default IP address is: 192.168.1.228.

Subnet mask: This is used to divide the IP addresses into groups or subnets. Set up using the standard 32 bit dotted decimal notation. Default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Default gateway: This is the IP address of the device (normally a router) enabling communications between Ethernet Lans. It must be on the same segment as the EMIC.

DHCP enabled: Selecting this will cause a DHCP server to set up the EMIC’s IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway. These will be greyed out in the dialogue box as they can no longer be changed from the web page.

Set and reboot: Pressing this button will cause the IP settings to be changed to the new values. It will cause the EMIC to restart with the new IP settings. The restart is confirmed with a beep. The browser accessing the unit will have to change its address appropriately.

Comms Settings

The Port number and Port type should be left at defaults (1, RS232 respectively).

The Baud rate (default 2400 baud); this value must be the same on all connected meters.

The Polling interval (default 5 mins), defines the minimum period each meter may be polled. Note that some meters can only be polled a maximum number of times per day (e.g. to preserve battery life).


Data Sheet EMIC/MBA

Post-init delay (default None), defines the minimum period between a message used to prepare the meter and a second message used to request the value. Note that some meters do not require an initialisation message (i.e. None) whereas others do; this setting applies to all meters on the M-Bus.

The ‘Zero values’ check box allows the meter values to be set to zero if communications to the meter fail; if this box is not checked the meter values remain at their last value. The number of messages that must fail before the communications are deemed to have failed is set in the threshold parameter.

Backup and restore

This page enables the EMIC’s configuration settings to be backed up to your PC.

Back-up: This will automatically collate the configuration data ready to create a backup file. A dialogue box will be launched on your PC

Once the file is loaded it can be stored to a hard drive, CD etc.

restore: This enables the EMIC to be restored to the previous state when the backup was taken. This is useful in the case of file loss or corruption, or if the unit fails completely.

It can also be used to configure other EMICs before fitting to an existing system, hence reducing the engineering time.

Admin

The Admin web page enables the user to login, logout, and change the User name and password. This login gives protection against changes to central EMIC parameters (Time & Date, UDP group).

Language

The language web page is selected by clicking on the flags icon on the main menu.

The language used in the web pages and meter’s labels can be selected from the drop-down menu; available languages are:

English, German, Danish, Spanish, Finnish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Swedish.

If the language is selected before setting up the meter, the meter’s labels will be loaded in the appropriate language.

COMPATIBILITYSupervisors: 963, 916, IPTool, TEM Adobe Flash Player v10 or greater must be installed in the

computer in order to access the web pages.

INSTALLATIONThe EMIC can be installed in an enclosure on a flat surface (using 4 off 4 mm screws), or on a DIN rail (using the DIN rail fixing clips supplied).

The installation procedure involves:
