Application of AL 300 2.1 Applications E*LDS components Functions With With With for CI 4x00 CI 3000 / example CI 3I00 VS 3010 Centralized parameter setting and configuration of all LDS components via CAN bus. The AL 300 can be used for remote con trol and configuring of all LDS components from a single location via CAN bus.
Application of AL 300 2.2 Circuit points Connectivity for the AL 300 Operator Terminal is as follows (for details see chapter Pin and Terminal Assign ments): Inputs/outputs: S 2 x digital inputs 230 V AC e.g. for monitoring of external alarms S 3 x relay outputs 230 V AC, floating output: - 2 x alarm contacts (PRIO1/2) e.g.
Application of AL 300 Version 4.06 When a CI 3000 Store Computer of Version 4.08 or higher is connected to the LDS System, the AL 300 Opera tor Terminals used must also be Version 4.06 or higher. Version 4.03 When a CI 3000 Store Computer of Version 4.03 or higher is connected to the LDS System, the AL 300 Opera tor Terminals used must also be Version 4.03 or higher.
Function of AL 300 Function of AL 300 3.1 Messages and alarms Use in the E*LDS system The AL 300 Operator Terminal, in addition to the CI 4x00 System Centre and the CI 3000 / CI 3100 Store Com puter, is the central collection point for messages of all E*LDS components that are listed in an alarm list and displayed to the operator - see menu 1 "Alarms".
Function of AL 300 Danger of failure of alarm messaging! Successful transmission of alarms from E*LDS components cannot be assured in systems where CAN bus communication is severely disturbed (frequent messages of CAN faults or actual CAN failure). In order to ensure the correct functioning of individual alarm paths (e.g. via modem and relay contacts), they must be checked by triggering test alarms on a cyclical basis, see the chapter Operation.
Function of AL 300 3.2.1 Alarm and signal inputs The AL 300 Operator Terminal has two digital inputs 230 V AC for monitoring and alarming external systems/ alarms (terminals AL.1: A1/A2 / AL.2: B1/B2). The inputs are initially deactivated and must be configured prior to use (Menu 7-5) for N.C.
Function of AL 300 3.4 CAN bus station monitoring The AL 300 Operator Terminal performs cyclic check on presence of all E*LDS components previously de tected in the system. Failure of a component is detected by this station monitoring and reported by Computer Fault alarm.
Function of AL 300 3.5 Alarm suppression in manual shutdown of case controllers Shutdown of a refrigerated case or coldroom is detected by CAN bus station monitoring as a failure (Screen 7-1). The display of all AL 300 and - if present - of the CI 4x00 System Centre or of the CI 3000 / CI 3100 Store Computer then shows the query whether the refrigeration point has been deliberately unloaded.
