ATTENTION The port configured in LDSWIN applies for all systems managed by LDSWIN. Therefore, configuration must be standardised here! Ports other than port 5000 should only be used in justified cases. If a connection is made via a firewall, the configured TCP/IP port must be opened for the TCP/IP service. In the event of incorrect port configuration, no communication between LDSWin and the System Centre is possible! The use of a “Well Known Port” (0-1023) can result in communication problems and ...
The system centre is used for showing the status and for the configuration of the integrated compact case controllers M1..M50: - See Menu 2-2 for the status and display of the temperature of the individual refrigeration points. - See Menu 4-2 for configuration of name and position designation of the individual refrigeration points.

5.4.1 Alarm and message inputs Configuration Digital inputs are available for recording alarms and messages. These are disabled at the factory and must be configured in Menu 4-1-2 before use so that they operate either according to the quiescent current or the operating current principle.
Special input Function Toggle setpoint Detects whether the setpoints should be toggled. Then a signal for the toggle setpoint is transmitted via the CAN bus. In order to use these functions, E*LDS components must be used that also support these functions. Details can be found in the operating manual of the respective E*LDS component.
The two relay outputs can be used, for example, to control a telephone dialling device. If an alarm with the priority X1 or X2 is generated by any of the E*LDS components, the assigned relay output of the corresponding priority is activated. If the output was already active, this is deactivated for approx.
Function Parameter Horn For the connection of an external audible alarm transmitter (factory setting). The contact always switches if the internal buzzer of the controller also sounds (buzzer signals an alarm). If the internal buzzer falls silent, the contact also switches to the idle state; see also chapter Alarms and messages.
If new measuring points have been found by the scan process, these are then displayed in the list and can be configured. An overview of the supported M-bus meters can be found here: https://edp.eckelmann.de/edp/lds/_dGFHqz89xb 5.7 Alarms and messages The system centre is the collection point for alarms and messages of all E*LDS components in the system. The messages are listed in the alarm and message lists and can be called by the operator via Menu 1.
Priorities Function 2, 12, 22,...92 High priority alarm - entry in alarm and message lists, remote alarm is signalled, local alarm is signalled (horn), triggering of the alarm relay PRIO2, e.g. for faults that Customer Service can rectify on the next day Low priority entry in alarm and message lists, remote alarm is signalled, local alarm is 3, 13, 23,...93 signalled (horn),...
5.7.2 Acknowledgement of alarms and messages Alarms are acknowledged by tapping the adjacent button in the alarm list; see Menu 1 - Alarms and messages. The acknowledgement is performed system-wide. This means that all alarms and messages that can be acknowledged are acknowledged in all E*LDS components. ...
5.7.4 Remote alarm signalling There are 15 alarm destinations (3 EASY alarm destinations and 12 extended alarm destinations; see chapter Menu 4-1-7 - Alarm Signalling) available for remote alarm signalling. These destinations can be: • A PC with the PC software LDSWin •...

5.7.5 Automatic transmission of alarms via Pushover CI 4400 or higher The controller provides the possibility to automatically forward alarms and messages in plain text from the E*LDS system via the "Pushover" message service (Menu 4-1-7). A user account must be created at "Pushover"...
Risk of the failure of alarm messages via SMS and thus no alarm signalling in the event of problems! It cannot be ensured that the SMS is delivered securely and promptly to the recipient, therefore transmission of SMS messages should not be configured as the only alarm path! It is also possible that a network operator or mobile telephone service provider can change its dial-up number or its dial-up procedure from time to time, thus generating significant additional costs.

5.8 Energy management If the digital inputs of the system centre and/or those of any of its SIOX extension modules for energy management are configured as S0 measuring points (Menu 4-1-6) or M-bus measuring points are used (Menu 4-1-6), energy consumption, capacity, water or gas consumption etc. can be recorded. During evaluation of the tariff signal provided by the power company, the work performed can be recorded, evaluated and displayed separately according to normal tariff and peak tariff.

actions can occur for a time interval. Therefore, a correct maximum shed load should be set for each load shedding stage used to guarantee optimum operation of the LSM. Minimum operating time A minimum operating time can be configured using this parameter. The minimum operating time specifies the time that a stage must at least be active before it is permitted to be shed again.
Operating input (optional) A digital input for signalling the operating state of the associated consumer can be used and configured for each load shedding stage. The operating input communicates the current operating status (ON/OFF) of the consumer of the respective load shedding stage to the LSM. With appropriate use of this input, the load optimisation can be significantly improved as the loading and unloading of capacity stages can be optimised by the LSM.
In this way, it is also possible to view the temperature archives for up to one year in the past without the LDSWin PC software. For temperature archives further in the past that should be shown, the temperature archives must be called cyclically and saved on a PC using the LDSWin PC software.
