  • Page 7 RCI-100 Connections: The RCI-100 is the main board of an RCI-100-XXX Telemetry system. It provides the input and output signal connections as well as the power supply for the unit. A separate communications board is added to the RCI-100 to allow it to communicate with other units. This communications board may have its own configuration that is in a separate section of this manual.
  • Page 8 Inputs: The RCI-100 has one dry contact input and one 0-20mA input. The dry contact input is excited with 24VDC and will source approximately 20mA when the contact is closed. A red LED lights up when the contact input is closed. The analog input is configured as a 0-20mA input and has a 250Ω...

  • Page 9: Battery Charger

    Outputs: The RCI-100 has one form ‘C’ relay contact output and one 0-20mA analog output. The relay contact is capable of switching 120VAC, 10A or 240VAC, 6A. An energy absorbing varistor is installed across each contact to limit switching transients. A second relay contact acts as a communications fail indicator.
  • Page 10 RCI-100 Configuration: The RCI-100 requires no configuration other than for its communication fail operation. In the event of a communications failure on the communications board, the RCI-100 can be set up to take various actions on its outputs. This may be desirable in order to place connected devices into a safe operating mode.
  • Page 11 MDM Communication Option: The -MDM communications option to the RCI series utilizes a 2400-BAUD modem to exchange the signal data between a host and its remote(s). There are two types of Operating Modes that can be configured: 1) Answer-Only and 2) Answer-and-Originate. In Answer-Only mode the RCI-100-MDM will only answer incoming calls.
  • Page 12 In a Host-to-Multipoint topology host communicates to several remotes. Each remote is assigned address (1,2,3, etc.) so that the host distinguish between them. There may at most be as many remotes there inputs & outputs on the host. For example, an RCI-200 system, having analog/contact inputs and outputs, may communicate with two RCI-100 remotes each having one...

  • Page 13: Hyperterminal™ Setup

    The serial interface program used for illustration purposes in this manual is HYPERTERMINAL and the text-editing tool is NOTEPAD. There is a Windows® based program available from Pribusin Inc. that will provide a more user-friendly interface. Please contact Pribusin Inc for more information.
  • Page 14 Next click on the Configure button to bring up the Port Settings window. Set the Bits per second to 2400 Set the Data bits to 7 Set the Parity to Even Set the Stop bits to 1 And choose None for Flow Control. Click the OK button.
  • Page 15 File Capture using HyperTerminal™: The RCI-100-MDM can send out its current configuration data via the RS-232 serial port. To analyze and modify this data it must be saved to a file on disk. This can be accomplished by using the text capture feature of HyperTerminal™.
  • Page 16 Downloading & Uploading Configuration Data: To download the internal configuration data of the RCI-100-MDM or upload new configuration data it must first be place in PROGRAMM mode. 1. Turn the power switch OFF. 2. Locate configuration jumper H7 on the modem board and insert jumper H7-1 only.
  • Page 17 4. Stop the data capture on the serial port software. You can now modify this file based on your requirements (see Configuration File Details below) and the upload the file back to the RCI-100-MDM. Uploading Configuration Data: Make sure your configuration file has been carefully modified so that it is free of errors. 1.

  • Page 20 Configuration Parameters: [I/O CONFIGURATION] MODE This defines if the unit is a host or a remote. If it is a remote it further identifies the remote address. This is especially important in multi-remote systems. Allowable values: 0 = Host, 1 thru 8 = Remote1 thru Remote8 REMOTES Number of remotes in the system.
  • Page 21 Allowable values: 00010-00255 = wait interval in seconds (10 sec. min.) CONNECT Time interval, in seconds, the calling unit stays connected before it terminates the call. While two units are connected they continually exchange their data. This is useful when an immediate confirmation is required after sending an action to the other unit.
  • Page 22 AIx<=00000 Determines if a LOW level on Analog Input x (x=1,2,..8) causes a call to be placed. If this unit is a remote, then a call will be placed to the host. If this unit is a host then a call will be placed to the remote that corresponds to this input channel.
