  • Page 33: Outputs And Discrete Inputs Setup .6

    Hardware and Accessories Setup and Utility Outputs and discrete inputs setup .6 Long before purchasing your Galileo controller, you sat down with one of our representatives and designed your project. You decided which components will ultimately be operated by the controller, and calculated which input items are required in order to obtain the most accurate functionality.
  • Page 34 6. Outputs and discrete inputs setup Step 1: Identifying the output/input number. This is a simple task using the Galileo 16/32. All the I/O connecting points are ordered from left to right and marked on the printed circuit board. With the Galileo 2000, it is a bit more complicated. The controller counts the address according to the slot’s definition.
  • Page 35 Controller Hardware and Accessories Setup and Utility Outputs and discrete inputs setup .6 own identification number. Each RTU will normally have more then one I/O element of each kind, and at times – more then one kind of element (Inputs, Outputs, Sensors). The reference to an I/O element as far as the controller’s software is concerned, is a kind of coordination table.
  • Page 36 Controller Hardware and Accessories Setup and Utility 6. Outputs and discrete inputs setup Encountered address The encountered address should not trouble the every day user. You have just defined an I/O address to existing elements, and from now on you will only have to refer to those elements from within their programming and setup tables.

    Control System for Remote Devices Via a Single Three-wire Cable General Description Galileo Controllers, with the addition of RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) adapter, enables users to control a system of remote terminal units that are interconnected via a single three-wire cable. The C2000-15 adapter is a standard module inserted into one of the controller slots and then defined accordingly.

  • Page 44 Controller Hardware and Accessories Setup and Utility Appendix 1: Cable Remote Terminal Units (CRTU) Important Note: 4-8-4 type remote units are actually 2 consecutive units on one card! When defining a line, one binary switch must be left unused after each one of these types of units! For instance: a unit that is defined as 10 (001010) will also include unit 11 (001011), and therefore the next unit should be defined as 12 (001100).
  • Page 45 Remark: Up to two C2000-15 cards can be installed in the Galileo 2000 controller. The definition of the remote units begins with 1 in each line. CRTU adapter No. 2 (From the left in the old models or from the top in the W model) will have the RTU number 65-128.
  • Page 46 Controller Hardware and Accessories Setup and Utility Appendix 1: Cable Remote Terminal Units (CRTU) Infrastructure It is commonly accepted that rodents are active at up to a depth of 100-120 cm below the ground surface. Therefore, cables should be laid beneath this depth, or alternatively, a cable can be laid inside a pipe that is resistant to rodents.
  • Page 47 Controller Hardware and Accessories Setup and Utility Appendix 1: Cable Remote Terminal Units (CRTU) Operation of Remote Units Via the Controller: Once an RTU is connected and communicates with the controller it can be immediately used if any of its I/O elements are defined.
