    MCS-11 ports and can be configured to answer polls in one of two ways. If the 2310 AL receives a poll for its address, it can either send the answer out both ports, or send it only out the same port on which its poll was received.

    LEDs to their normal function. The Model 2310 AL may be powered by 24 or 48 volt station battery, without any switch or jumper changes necessary. It mounts in a 19-inch rack, and is 1U high.

  • Page 7: Detailed Description

    2310 AL will not answer RSS polls. This is useful in cases where an RSS already exists at a site, and you just want to add an RDS using the 2310 AL Encoder. In this case, the summary relay contacts can be used to set a summary bit in the existing RSS (hard-wired from the 2310 AL to the radio).

    ‘voltage’). You will need to enter the proper multiplier for each analog point into the master so that it can display the counts from the 2310 AL properly. Note that for negative input ranges, the multiplier is a negative number.
  • Page 9 A 000 in point 24 indicates normal operation. A 999 in point 24 indicates that the analog input card is not responding to requests from the 2310 AL main processor. The master should map point 24 as an 'analog input fail' alarm point when its value is above zero.

    MCS-11 COMMUNICATIONS PORTS: The 2310 AL MCS-11 Remote Encoder has two MCS-11 communications ports available at two DB-15 female connectors on the rear of the unit. The ports are labeled MCS-11 Port 1 and MCS-11 Port 2.

  • Page 11: Installation

    MODEL 2310 AL MCS-11 REMOTE ENCODER INSTALLATION Install this unit in 24 or 48 volt positive ground or negative ground stations. The factory default is positive ground operation. Power is connected to a 2-terminal barrier strip at the rear of the unit.

  • Page 12: Figure 5. Battery Polarity Select For Optoisolators

    MODEL 2310 AL MCS-11 REMOTE ENCODER There is an internal jumper (see Figure 5) which selects the negative or positive lead of the battery input to power the alarm input optoisolators. For positive ground systems (factory default) the jumper should be in the - Station Battery position. This selects the proper polarity voltage input to power the optoisolators.

    For the most accurate measurements, a pair of wires should run from the device being measured to the model 2310 AL, with the 'ground' wire connected to an analog ground pin and the active wire connected to the analog input pin. A shielded wire is recommended for electrically noisy environments, and a shielded pair is recommended for differential input measurements.

  • Page 14: Figure 7. Example Of High-Speed Synchronous To Low-Speed Asynchronous Spur

    Special conditions may require that the 2310 AL send answers to polls for itself only out the receiving port. This might apply to a situation where the 2310 AL is part of a spur, with one port set for a high-speed synchronous connection to the backbone, and the other port set for a slow-speed asynchronous link to the spur radios.

    C12 and C13, then the only traffic across the low-speed asynchronous link would be the polls and answers for addresses C12 and C13. All other polls and answers would not be passed through the first 2310 AL and on to the spur.

    9-pin PC COM port. A straight-through connected cable with 9 wires will work, however only 3 wires are required. The cable will require a male DB-9 at the 2310 AL end, and (usually) a female DB-9 at the computer end. The pin assignments are detailed in Table 10 page 30.

    AL unit as a whole. The following sections explain each setting. MCS-11 ALARM ENCODER STATION ADDRESS: The Station address desired for the 2310 AL must be set properly. The address range is A through H and 1 through 16 (128 possible addresses).

  • Page 18: Figure 10. Bridge Polls Selection

    This dialog window allows you to select some, or all, of the available MCS-11 addresses to bridge through the 2310 AL. Addresses in the left pane are blocked, and addresses in the right pane are bridged. Polls and answers received on one port for any bridged address are passed through to the other port.
  • Page 19 This option has nothing to do with the Bridge/Block option mentioned earlier. Even if you have the RSS address of the 2310 AL blocked (set to not be bridged), you can still set the unit to send its answers out of both MCS-11 ports with this option.
  • Page 20 DOWNLOAD BUTTON: This button downloads the current configuration to a 2310 AL device. If the cable to the craft port is not connected or the 2310 AL is not responding, a ‘Port Time Out’ message appears. The 2310 AL must be powered up, but it is not required to have connections to any ports other than the craft interface.

    RSS in order to trigger an automatic poll of the RDS. It is possible to avoid using a 2310 AL RSS summary point by choosing 'No Summary Point'. In this case, the RDS must then be read by triggering an external RSS summary point with the Summary Relay.

TRIP SUMMARY RELAY: Check this box if you want the summary relay to close whenever there is an alarm present on one or more of the inputs. The contacts of this relay can be used to operate a local alarm indicator, or to assert an RSS summary bit in an existing RSS at the site.

    ON/OFF or Momentary operation. This is discussed in detail below. CHOOSE RCDI SCANNER FOR THE RELAY OUTPUTS: You are allowed to select a RCDI scanner from A through F. All 16 control points in the 2310 AL will be controlled via the scanner which you select.

  • Page 24: Figure 13. Ras

    The RAS pane allows you to specify which RAS scanner will receive the analog values. An RAS scanner can contain 24 values, but only the first 16 values will be used by the Model 2310 AL. The number of values will be less than 16 if some analog inputs are used in differential mode. If input #1 is used in differential mode (input pair formed by inputs #1 and #9), then the analog value will be placed in the 1st position, and nothing (just the grayed-out word ‘Differential’) will be placed in...

    MODEL 2310 AL MCS-11 REMOTE ENCODER REAL TIME MONITORING The 2310 AL can be set to monitor and display its alarm input conditions, the status of its control outputs, and its analog input values. This can aid in field troubleshooting and verify that the 2310 AL is functioning properly.

    If the analog card is used, then the master must have an RAS created at the address of the RAS in the 2310 AL. A point name must be assigned to each of the 16 input values. If any of the points in the range from 1 to 8 are differential inputs, then there will be less than 16 input values.
