The PS 416 Controller The PS 416-TCS-200 communication processor forms part of the PS 416 modular control system. With the PS 416-TCS-200 the individual controller can be integrated into a telecontrol system. Here the controller can be the central station or a substation.

Setting Up A Telecontrol Station With The PS 416 Controller the central station or the substation the modems set up a connection with a specified telephone number. In the case of the dial-up line both the central and also the substation can take over the function of a primary station or the function of a secondary station: Primary station: Station which initiates data transport...

Other manuals (AWBs) In the case of the leased line all substations are permanently connected to the central station. If more than one secondary station is addressed via the leased line only point-to-point leased modems (party line) may be used. The central station will in this case always be a primary station and the substations always secondary stations.

TCS-200 cards in the basic units. The maximum number of rack PS 416-TCS-200 cards which can be operated in a single rack depends on the power consumption. For this reason a power requirements calculation must be made in all cases .
Selection of modem Selection of modem You should select modems which have electrical isolation between the RS 232 and the dial-up or leased line. This prevents potential equalisation currents occuring. The modems must also support the 11-bit signalling format (8E1) Electromagnetic You should note the following engineering compatibility...

In the “Selectable Types” selection box you should select the option “Card”. From the list of available cards select the PS 416-TCS-200. Interface parameters for data transmission Parameter sets for communication have been provided in the telecontrol card for the various modes (leased or dial-up lines).

Make sure that the interface module is firmly seated in the PS 416-TCS-200. Install the PS 416-TCS-200 in the basic unit from slot 4 onwards. Connect the RS 232 interface on the front plate of the card to the modem. You should use the ZB 4-254-KB1 modem cable.
The card functions in a telecontrol system as a protocol generator or protocol evaluator. The application module prepares the user and control data for the PS 416-TCS-200 communication processor. The card packs this user data (a maximum of 220 bytes) into the telecontrol protocol and sends it to the modem via the integrated RS-232 interface.
Once the PS 416 has been switched on or a cold restart signal has been received from the PS 416, the activities of the communication processor begin with the self-test. Here the PS 416-TCS-200 checks the functional readiness of the interface module and of the RAM memory modules.
Shutdown behaviour Warm start If the PS 416-TCS-200 receives a reset command from the application card without a cold start signal from the central processing unit of the PS 416, the communication processor stops all jobs which have started and re-initialises itself with the aid of the user parameters.
