From the “FILE” drop down menu it is possible to select the language using “Select the language” to select the language desired among those available.

From the “FILE” drop menu, select “Check updates on SICES website”.

To perform this operation, an internet connection is necessary. The update of the SW, with this procedure, will have to be performed periodically.


Below, the basic operations for a correct communication with the device will be shown, together with a copy of parameters to perform the modification and the transmission of the parameters themselves to the device, after the modification.

Jump to par. 3.2 ”Configure the device” if you do not use a serial connection with the device.

Below, it will be described a basic procedure for the device connection composed by a “Serial RS232/USB2.0” adaptor and a serial cross-over type cable (crossed). For further details and/or to consult the different types of connection, it is necessary to consult the Manual “EAAS0341xx Serial Communication Specification and Modbus and SMS Protocol”

The devices are provided with a serial port compatible with the EIA-RS232 specifications. It is accessible from the outside through the male connector DB 9 poles CANON type, same as those used on PC. The pinout of the connector is standard type, as follows:

Pins Function

1 N.C.

2 RX

3 TX

4 DTR

5 GND

6 DSR

7 RTS

8 N.C.

9 N.C.

RS232 Serial Pins Devices

The connection with the serial port of the PC is supposed to be by means of a serial cable crossover type (crossed cable), of which the main characteristic is the inversion of pin 2 and 3 of the 9 poles Canon connector.

RS232 PC Serial not available:

RS232 PC Porta seriale

RS232 Devices Serial port

RS232 9 poles F/F Crossover Serial cable


If you do not have a RS232 serial port in your PC, in addition to the RS232 serial cable 9poles F/F crossover, it is necessary to purchase a USB/RS232 converter. These converters, usually self-supplied by the same USB jack, if available in the PC, can have the same characteristics of a standard serial RS23.

To allow these converters to operate, they are provided with a special driver for PC. For the converter installation, refer to the installation guide supplied.

After the installation of the driver and the connection of the driver itself to the USB port, the operation system will detect a COM x serial. Check if the setting of the serial communication between the communication software of the PC and the control device. The default settings of the devices are:

- Baud rate (Bit per second): 9600

- Data Bits: 8

- Parity: none

- Stop bits :1

- Flow control: none

From the “Communication” drop down menu select the sentence “Select the communication resources” and, after ticking the peripheral device you want to use for the connection in the box “Communication resources”, press “Ok” to confirm (Ref. par. 4.2 Communication Communication).

It is also necessary to select and configure, still from “Communication”, the serial address of the device. In the “Select serial address” window, insert the address of the device meant to be connected; this address corresponds to 1 as default setting; confirm by pressing “Ok”.

If you don’t know the device address to be assigned, the parameter identifying the address of the first serial port for every device, except for MC100, is P.0451. For MC100 the parameter is P.4201. (Ref. par. 4.2.2 Select the address).

Click on the icon “Connect” in the control bar. (Ref. par. 4.2.3 Conne).

Confirm “Yes” to proceed with the reading of the information of the connected device and the relative acquisitions from the software.

Press “Connect” once more to recharge the updated settings and enable the connection of the device.


INFORMATION! To save the configuration it is necessary to reconnect.

INFORMATION! Before pressing “Transmit”, be sure that in the column “In the PC” are valid values for that device.

WARNING! Transmitting the column “In the PC” without values (empty) means transmitting all parameters, not protect, to 0. This will cause the complete cancelation of the device configuration, therefore causing serious damages to things and/or persons.

Click on the icon button “Configure”, in the control bar, to drop the menu and under- menu down on the left side of the display.

The parameters inside the menu and under-menu are not visible until when they will not be selected or decompressed by selecting on the file or on the “+” sign. (Ref. par. 4.1.4 Configuration of device).

Click on the icon button “Read” in the control bar and confirm with “Yes” to proceed with the reading of the parameters of the device. When the operation is concluded, the status is visible from the progress bar.

When the reading is completed, the parameters uploaded in the device will be available, only displayed. (Ref. par.3.3 Reading of parameters).

Click on the icon button “Copy” in the control bar and confirm with “Yes” to proceed with the copy of the parameters from the only reading column “In the Device” to the column “In the PC”.(Ref. par. 4.3.3 Copy from “in the device” to “in the PC”)

Click on menu “Parameters, I/O or alternative configurations”.

.

To view the parameters to be modified, it is necessary (if compressed) to click on (+) which corresponds to the under-menu.

The under-menu can contain other under-menus, which have to be selected in order to view the parameters correctly.


To modify the parameter /s it is necessary to click on the parameter box of the columns “In the PC”. Different modes to change this value are available.

If it is a numeric value, only one click is enough to select the parameter and the numeric keyboard to set the new value:

Press “Send” to confirm the value or “Esc” to cancel the modification.

INFORMATION! If the set value does not comply with the permissible values of for that parameter, the software will not accept the value, providing the red box:

Re-set a valid value and press “Send” or press “Esc” to cancel the modification.

A valid and confirmed value is displayed with a yellow box to highlight the difference with the value in the device:

If the value is a condition and/or an operation mode, a double click is necessary to display, form the drop down menu, the available options.

Select by the arrows, the available options and click on “Send” to confirm.

The yellow box indicates the modification of the option, compared to the one set in the device.

INFORMATION! Only available for some models of devices.


The configuration of analogue sensors, in addition to the hardware configuration, also needs a software configuration. This configuration can be performed in two ways:

Standard configuration

Configuration performed for the standard sensors and/or as digital inputs; in this case it is only necessary to select, among the available choices, the sensor type to enable.

Special configuration

To offer the possibility to use all sensors (impedance, voltage and/or current) present in the market, we implemented the special configuration of the analogue inputs. This, together or not with a signal transducer (only voltage and/or current) allows, for some analogue input, to customize the conversion curve of the generic sensor.

Follow the indications of the sensor producer to better define the curve of measure, the decimal digits and the points of resolution desired.

Following, an example of curve of a sensor with input with voltage 0..5V named “OIL LEVEL”:

1) Select the generic device.

2) Select the file “New” if you desire to create a new sensor or if it is not present in the file

“Sensors”. Select “Open” if the file of the “sensorname.sns” has already been saved in the PC or you want to use a compliant one, available in the file “Sensors”.

3) Click on “+” or “-“ to add or remove the points of resolution of the curve.

INFORMATION! If the sensor is linear, only 2 points are sufficient. The more points are added to the curve, the higher the resolution.

After creating the sensor, it is possible to save it, “Save” , for a future use and/or transmit it to the card.

The digits “In the PC” and “In the card” allow the view of the sensor, respectively to be transmitted and after transmitting.


INFORMATION! The sensor configuration follows the same rules used for the parameters in reading and writing, that is, if we transmit a sensor configuration to the card, this last will overwrite the previous configuration. Before overwriting, we suggest to save eventual sensors present in the card. To save the sensor configuration of the card, press “Save” and name the sensor with *.sns extension.

For the analogue sensor, two thresholds of intervention are available with possibility to define, through a bit combination, the sequence to use when a threshold is detected.

Selecting with double click the “Configuration” boxes, a window will open where possible to flag one or more intervention sequences.

After selecting, click “OK” to confirm.

INFORMATION! Only available for some model of devices.

The value “AND/OR0103-Logics” allows to configure, through a Boolean logic, the digital outputs depending on one or more status conditions in a given event. The possibility to use the AND or OR ports and their relative negation (NOT) on the single status condition, allows to satisfy the most part of the requests. For each configuration up to 30 logic blocks are available.

INFORMATION! It is not possible to use contemporarily more than one AND or OR logic operations for the same output.

In the following example, we configured an output with AND logic and 4 logic blocks with n. 4 logic condition inverted.

For the logic configuration it is necessary to select the “AND/OR 0103-Logic” in the functions connected to the “Digital outputs”.


In the above example, we configured a digital input, which will be available if all conditions are satisfied.

1 – If the device is in AUTO mode.

2 – If the engine is started.

3 – If the generator voltage is in tolerance.

4 – It there are not cumulative pre-alarms (Box denied).

The selectable and available conditions are shown in the window relative to the single block.

To configure the digital output with 0103 value, select the icon “+” (add) to open the choice window and thus define the condition and the event status.

Click on icon “+” to expand the under menu, select the status condition to be used and click on

“OK” to confirm or “Cancel” to delete the operation.

INFORMATION!: Some status conditions might be not available: “Digital inputs”, “Digital Outputs”, “Alarms” and “Thresholds on measures Status” if not configured in the plant and/or not available..


INFORMATION! Only available for some model of devices.

The value “0101 – Used by PLC” matches the digital output to the PLC device internal function (Programmable logic controller), activating the output only if the operation conditions and/or sequence are satisfied. For further details and/or clarifications, refer to the manual: SICES EAAM0432xxXA SICES PLC Editor.

If the device supports this function, in the control bar will appear the icon “PLC”.

.

With this function it is possible to read and/or transfer a file, previously filled in with SICES PLC Editor, containing the advanced functions of the AND/OR logics, timer, counters, variables, that is all PLC standard functions.

Click on the icon to open the window through the “PLC” commands:

If the device is connected and in communication, the PLC management for the DST4602 controllers will be available, starting from the rev. 3.14 of the BoardPrg3. This management allows reading, writing and cancelling the PLC program, which is on SICES controllers, by means of a specific window recallable through the “PLC” program, which is in the tools bar.


The “Read and save” command allows to read the PLC program which is in the device and save it with a “File Name” in a file of the PC or in an external data support.

The “Upload and transmit” command allows transmitting the PLC program to the controller.

to proceed with the writing and/or re-writing of the file in the device, the confirmation is required:

Conferm with “Open” the file to send to the device.

A confirmation window informs about the correct transferring. Click “OK” and “Close” to return to the main program.

The “Cancel” command cancels all PLC program, which is in the controller. It is necessary to confirm “Yes” in the window of command confirmation:

A confirmation window informs about the correct cancelation of the PLC program. Click “OK” and “Close” to return to the main program.


Some values of SetPoint, defined inside the PLC will be visible in the BoardPRG3.xx on the menu “6 –PLC SetPoint”. These values, from parameter P.1501, can be settable as normal numeric values (Ref. par. 3.5.1 Numeric)

Click on icon “Transmit” in the command bar and confirm with “Yes” to proceed with the transmission of the parameters from the column of “In the PC” to the column “In the Device” (Ref. par. 4.3.2 Tra to the device)

INFORMATION!: The transmission of the parameters will only affect the not password protected parameters. (Ref. par. Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. code)

If the transmission happened without complications, the column “In the device” and the column “In the PC” will be aligned, that is, there will be no indications of differences in the parameters. Different methods to interrupt the execution of a program are available; Here follows the most correct procedure: click on “Disconnect”, to interrupt the communication with the serial port, click “File” and select “Exit” (Ctrl+E) (Ref. par. Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. Bar, 4.2.4 Disconne) in the drop down menu.

Following are the descriptions of the commands in the menu bar and, the main commands are under the same icon to simplify.

Some commands of the menu bar and/or of the commands icons can have three types of views based on their functional status, on the ongoing communication, on the access rights to the parameters and/or on the plant configuration.

The view of such buttons can have three different status:


1) Commands or Buttons not available and/or disabled. In this case, the buttons are not usable since they are already activated or not available for the function with device not connected. The image will be with a clear background and the writings in clear grey.

2) Commands or buttons available. The buttons have not been clicked and the corresponding function is disabled. The view is in relief and has a grey

background as the menu bar.

3) Commands or Buttons activated. The buttons have been clicked and the corresponding function activated. The view is in bas-relief and the background is clear grey.

By clicking on the arrow on the right, it is possible to select one of the following languages:

Italian, English, French and Portuguese.


From the drop down menu “FILE”, select “Select the device”.

From the window “Device” select the model to configure.

In the box “Revision”, write the version FW (visible on the serial number plate). This information is useful only in case you work OFF-LINE (not connected to the controller). In case of connection with the controller, the SW will inform about eventual differences between controller type and FW set and the real setting of the controller.

It is possible to add some data and notes, which will be saved in the PC together with the configuration.

The button Configuration activates the windows of parameters configuration.


To start the Configuration procedure, it is necessary to click on button “Configure.” .

Select one of the three main menues among “Parameters”, “I/O” and “Alternative Configurations”. For some devices, the main menues can only be 2, Parameters and I/O.

Following is and example of the ”parameter” Menu

Now it will be possible to view the list of parameters:

(These lists only appear if a voice that cannot be further decompressed on the left of the menu is selected).

An example of the “I/O” Menu as follows:


In this menu, parameters are available for the configuration of the:

Digital inputs

Digital outputs

Analogue inputs

The function Counters is reserved for the genset constructor.

If the function is released, click the icon button “Counters” and the values saved in the counters of the device will be displayed.

The procedure for the reading 3.3 (Parameters reading), the copy, the modification of values 3.5.1 (Numeric) and the transmission 3.6 (Transmit the parameters) of parameters is the same used in the configuration (Ref. par. 3.5.1 Numeric).

The Clock button allows synchronizing the controller clock with that of the PC. This function is active only if the device is in communication with the software.


The language management (messages displayed by the controller) allows to upload the language into the device, in addition to the default languages. Only for some model, the function “Languages” is visible and available.

To check out the available languages, it is necessary to click on button “Check on web site”.

.

Select the desired language, if available, and click on button “Upload and transmit”

to proceed with the installation.

Confirm eventual confirmation requests with “Yes”.

At the end of the uploading, confirm with “OK” to close the message window.

.

Select a new language to upload a new language or click the button “Close” to exit the “Additional Languages Management” and return to the main window.


It automatically checks the software update and, if necessary, updates the software installed in the PC.

It interrupts the communication with the device, if active, and closes the program BoardPRG3.

In this menu, it is possible to define the parameters of communication between the PC and the device.

We remark that the current PCs have not serial ports, so that it is necessary a Serial adaptor RS232/USB or, for more recent devices, only the USB cable for peripherals. If you use the Serial adaptor RS232/USB or directly the virtual USB, it is important to correctly notice which serial port is correctly assigned to the interface.

1) From menu COMMUNICATION, by selecting “Select communication resource”, a window “Communication resources” opens, which allows to select the resource (serial port or Ethernet) to be used for the connection. We remark that the eventual USB/SERIAL RS232 adaptor will have to be connected before the program is started.

2) Select the resource meant to be used so that the corresponding box is ticked. When the resource is highlighed

(normally in BLUE) ,press the button CONFIGURE to set the communication parameters (this activity is not significant if you select Ethernet communication).


3) Select the speed (Bits per second = Baudrate) in the same way as set in the controller.

The other fields have to be configured as in the picture (unless they have been modified at controller level).

Below the default parameters are shown:

The program can communicate with the controllers through serial port or Ethernet or virtual USB (virtual serial RS232).

Then select from COMMUNICATIONS the voice “Select the serial address”.

If you chose the communication via serial port, only the first line (the one containing the address) will be modifiable. Instead, if you chose the ETHERNET communication, the other fields will be modifiable.

In case of ETHERNET communication, it is usually enough to set only the “IP address” box. Leave the other data as per default.

Activate the connection through the selected serial or Ethernet port. Check the correct data

exchange through the message counter, which is in the bottom right of the window:

A correct communication will return the increase of positive packets, number on the left of the bar “/”, leaving the number on the right of the bar “/” to 0.


It deactivates the communication between the serial port with the device, so allowing to modify the communication settings and/or to use other softwares using the same serial port.

Pressing the button “Read” (from keyboard: “CTRL+R”) a command confirmation window will open up to proceed with the reading of the parameters configuration. Confirm “Yes” to proceed or “No” to cancel.

After the confirmation to proceed and, when the reading of the parameters in the device has finished, these parameters will be shown in the column “In the device”.

INFORMATION! This procedure permanently overwrites the parameters currently saved in the device. We recommend to read the procedure at paragraph “Parameters Configuration” carefully before activating the function “transmit”.

Pressing the button “Transmit” (from keyboard: “CTRL+W”) a command confirmation window will open up providing the transmission of the parameters configuration. Confirm “Yes” to proceed or “No” to cancel.

After the confirmation to proceed, the data transmission of the modified parameters is performed in the column “In the PC” on device “In the device”.


INFORMATION! The modification and the transmission of the parameters is subject to password level, inserted in the device and validated in the box “access code”. Further information at paragraph “Access code”.

When the transmission has finished, if the parameters have been modified, the two columns will be aligned with the same values and there will be no highlighted differences, either on the structure tree (on the top left), or in the cells of the columns with some highlighted zones.

To modify the parameters values, before transmitting them, it is necessary to copy the parameters from device to PC, respectively from the left column “Nel dispositivo” a quella di destra “Nel PC”. Cliccare il pulsante “Copia” e confermare con “Si” per procedere alla copia dei valori dal dispositivo o “No” per annullare la copia.

If you chose to copy the configuration, the software will align the values from column “In the device” to column “In the PC”.

Clicking the button “Default” it is possible to upload in the column “In the PC” the basic parameters usually inserted as a default program. This function allows a comparison between


the default parameters and those set in the device and/or to restore the configuration values to default ones.

Clicking the button “Upload”, a window of explore resources will open, allowing to recover eventual configuration files previously saved.

After the selection of the file with “.par” extension to be uploaded, press the button “Open”. These values will be uploaded automatically in the column “In the PC”. At this point, the software, performs a comparison check between the values in the column “In the PC” and in the column “In the device”. This comparison, in addition to remarking a difference of values, checks the alignment among the different Firmware revisions and informs if there are some parameters which are not present for the differences of Firmware and/or software.

Clicking the button “Save” a window of explore resources will open, allowing to save the configuration file with the values present in the column “In the PC”.


After filling in the name to save and choosing the file saving path, press the button “Save”. The file just saved can be used in the future for: the configuration of a device with the same characteristics, the comparison with the values of a configured device (highlight of the differences) and eventually restoration of the device parameters with the configuration saved.

Clicking on the button “Print” a window “Print properties”. Select the printer, if installaed, and press the button “Print” to proceed with the parameters print.

The print will provide, in the bottom part, the main information of the device, among which: Date and time, device name, firmware installed, serial number. In the bottom, part 5 column will be viewed with the following order: Parameter number, description, Measure Unit, value of the parameter and a column “notes” where possible to write some notes.

In this screen all information about version, revision, available options, etc. is reported.


In every device, you can insert a password to protect the configuration parameters. These protections have more levels of access depending on the complexity of the device and on the kind of use.

The dark grey boxes indicate values password protected; to modify them, it is necessary to insert a valid access code.

The access levels can be: User Installater Constructor SICES

Insert the access code, if known, and click on button “confirm”.

INFORMATION: For further information, consult the user manual of the device at the section “Password”.

The box “Current level” indicates the access level to the parameters writing. This level is modifiable based on the password inserted in the “access code”.

When the software detects a difference of values in the parameters, between the two columns

“In the device” and “In the PC”, a warning icon is displayed: “ ”.

In the window on the left, “menu tree”, the menus will be noticed, inside which are parameters with not corresponding values.


Following is shown the information viewable in the lower part of the software screen:

On the lower bar, on the left, it is viewable the type of controller selected and the product code.

For example: DST4601_px E610202910000

On the lower bar, on the right of the “product code”, the firmware revision of the device is viewable.
