1.1 Purpose of the manual This manual provides instructions for easy and quick installation and operation of the RME2-AI-IA3 analog module. The manual starts with a general description of the product, and then provides instructions for the correct hardware installation. Configuration and operation of the device is detailed below.
Exemys 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 Connecting the power supply RME2-AI-IA3allows a power supply from +10 to 30 V . Positive power supply must be connected to terminal N° 1 and negative power supply to terminal No. 2 as shown in the following image: 2.2 Terminal Block Connections...
RME2-AI-IA3 Analog Variables Acquisition Module – User’s Manual Exemys 2.3 Analog inputs wiring 2.3.1. Voltage input wiring (0-10V) Sensors with voltage output (0-10V) can be connected to the device as shown in the following image. Current input wiring(4-20mA) 2.3.2. In this case, sensors with current loop output (4-20mA) can be connected to the device as shown in the following image.
To connect the device RS232 serial port to PC serial port or any other serial device, it must be connected as can be shown in the following image. You should consider RME2-AI-IA3 is a DTE device, which means it must cross wire with those of the PC. 2.5.
RME2-AI-IA3 configuration is done through a configuration web page connecting the device to the Ethernet network on which it is going to work. To access to the configuration web page, you must connect RME2-AI-IA3 to ethernet Exemys Device Locator network and install software.
Exemys 1.2. Configuration Web Page Once the RME2-AI-IA3 has a valid IP address, you can access the web page to configure the other parameters (If your web browser is configured to search for a proxy server, disable this option) Exemys...
RME2-AI-IA3 Analog Variables Acquisition Module – User’s Manual Exemys 1.3. Inputs Configuration When entering the RME2-AI-IA3 configuration web page, in the "Inputs" menu you can configure all the parameters related to the connected analog inputs, as well as alarm values, input to monitor, etc. 1.3.1. Settings In this sub-menu, user has available the analog inputs configuration, such as the type of analog input, the number of samples for the measurement, and the values for scaling.
Page 13
RME2-AI-IA3 Analog Variables Acquisition Module – User’s Manual Exemys If you choose not to use the "simple" mode, you must enter the 4 values to calculate the scaling by applying the equation of a line given that you know two points. Then the value of X0 and X1 corresponds to the value read in the analog/digital converter of the device (0 for 0V, 4000 for 10V, or 800 for 4 mA and 4000 for 20 mA).
Exemys 1.3.2. Alarms In this sub-menu, user has available the alarms configuration for inputs, RME2-AI-IA3 has two alarm thresholds for each input, one for a low value and one for a high value. The alarm values are used to change the status text on the monitoring screen and to send SNMP traps if configured.
RME2-AI-IA3 Analog Variables Acquisition Module – User’s Manual Exemys 1.3.3. Monitoring In this sub-menu, user has available the input monitoring. You must indicate if you want to visualize the monitoring and follow-up of it, a descriptive name and the number of decimals with which you want to see the scaled value that each input represents.
Exemys 1.4. Serial port configuration RME2-AI-IA3serial port can be used in Gateway mode, allowing access to a Modbus serial device (RTU or ASCII) from Ethernet in Modbus TCP. This configuration is done from the menu "Configuration -> Port A". If this option is enabled, queries in Modbus TCP to read the device analog inputs must be made exclusively to the Modbus ID configured as "Internal Memory Modbus ID".
Page 17
Internal Memory Modbus ID: It is the Modbus ID used to read the device inputs in case it enables the serial port. If you do not use the serial port, you can read the RME2-AI-IA3 inputs with any Modbus ID.
RME2-AI-IA3 Analog Variables Acquisition Module – User’s Manual Exemys OPERATION MODES RME2-AI-IA3 acquisition module allows up to eight analog sensors to be remotely monitored and supervised through Ethernet interface in different protocols. 2.1. Modbus TCP The acquired values, in their different formats, can be read in Modbus TCP registers.
RME2-AI-IA3 Analog Variables Acquisition Module – User’s Manual Exemys 2.2. CSV / XML 2.2.1. CSV files Device shows the information acquired in three text files separated by commas on its embedded WEB server. This information is available in the section " Monitor -> CSV / XML "...
Exemys 2.2.2. XML file To automate the acquisition of information, the RME2-AI-IA3 has a page in which information about the configuration and the inputs status is available in XML format. This information is available in the section " Monitor-> CSV / XML 2.3.
Exemys 3. MONITORING RME2-AI-IA3 shows the obtained values from each input in its web page, in the Monitoring menu. Here you can observe the monitoring called "Administrator’s Monitor" where are the alarms state, the analog, scaling and the A / D values input for each input.
To delete the password, only an empty password must be saved. 4.2. Reset If necessary, the RME2-AI-IA3 can be restarted. In this way all your connections will be closed, and all your tasks will start again as if device had just been energized. 4.3.
It should be clarified that if the same IP addresses are configured in the two IP Manager fields, the alarms will arrive duplicated. 5.2. This file describes the set of objects or parameters of the RME2-AI-IA3 accessible by SNMP. You can download the RME2-AI-IA3.MIB file from: www.exemys.com/documentation RME2-AI uses the same MIB file as its previous model (RME1-AI).
