Page 4: Introduction
The AT Series Communications option allows the user to remotely monitor and control the AT Series Battery Charger over a serial connection. Everything that the user can do at the charger’s front panel display is accessible remotely. The communications option supports DNP3 Level 2 and Modbus protocols over RS-232 or RS-485 serial communications. -

HARDWARE 3 Hardware 3.1 Installation WARNING Disconnect and lock out all power to the battery charger before starting any maintenance procedures. Turn the AC power off at the distribution panel upstream from the battery charger. Disconnect the battery from the charger output terminals. This includes remote sense wires if they were installed. - Page 6 HARDWARE Figure 1 EN5004-00 AT Series Communications PC Board (A12) Connected To EN5002-00 Main Control PC Board (A1) Step 5 Connect the ballast resistor(s) (R29) to the power supply connection plug (J20). Pin 2 on J20 is +vdc and pin 4 is common. See Figure 2.

Page 10: Rs-485
HARDWARE 3.2.2 RS-485 The communications board supports half-duplex RS-485 communications. Set configuration switch S1-5 to ON to select RS-485. TB10 terminal block is for the RS-485 connections. The next two sections describe a single connection and multi-drop connection. Some RS-485 networks may require terminating resistors at both ends of the serial network. The decision of whether or not to use termination resistors should be based on the BAUD rate, the cable distance, and the type of cable being used to build the network. - Page 11 HARDWARE 3.2.2 RS-485 Single Connection When a single device is connected using RS-485, the terminating resistor is required. Move the jumper on J22 to pins 1 and 2 to enable the terminating resistor. The device communicating with the charger needs its own terminating resistor installed. Figure 5 RS-485 Single Connection...
- Page 12 HARDWARE 3.2.2 RS-485 Multi-Drop When multiple chargers are connected using RS-485, the devices on the ends of the network needs a terminating resistor installed or enabled. On the communications board, moving the jumper on J22 between pins 1 and 2 enables the terminating resistor. The devices in the middle of the network do not require the terminating resistor.

Page 14: Using A Modem
HARDWARE 3.3 Using a Modem These instructions are for a U.S. Robotics modem product # USR5686D or equivalent with auto answer feature. If using Modbus protocol, use ASCII mode. RTU mode has tighter timing requirements that might prevent communications while using the modem. ASCII mode is enabled by configuration switch S1-4 in the ON position. - Page 15 HARDWARE Figure 8 Modem Connection...

Page 16: Configuration
CONFIGURATION 4 Configuration All user configurable items are controlled by two groups of switches and a setup program to modify additional configuration parameters. After changes have been made, the charger must have both the AC and DC circuit breakers turned OFF then back ON again for any changes to take affect. -
Page 17: Setup Program
CONFIGURATION 4.2 Setup Program The setup program may only be used with an RS-232 serial connection. Use a terminal mode program such as HyperTerminal with the baud rate set to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits, and no hardware handshaking. Remove power to the charger by turning both AC and DC circuit breakers off. -
Page 18: Factory Defaults
CONFIGURATION After all parameters have been modified to the correct values, turn off the charger. Close your terminal program and reconnect the charger to the communications network. Turn off S1-1 to disable the setup program. Make sure all switch settings are set correctly. Turn on the charger to initiate communications. -

Page 34: Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)
Yes. RS-485 communications allows multiple AT Series chargers to be connected to the same serial network. Up to 32 AT Series chargers can be connected together. Each charger will be assigned an address so that the computer system knows which charger it is communicating with. RS-232 does not support multiple chargers on a serial network. - Page 35 The computer system will also need a modem. The computer system will dial out to the AT Series charger. The modem connected at the charger will answer the call and start communicating. Refer to the operation manual for connection details.
