  • Page 5: Introduction

    As a Poll Master the RCM communicates with other system modules using a RS485 twisted pair wire. This communications may involve other RCMs, used in an I/O capacity, and/or Southwest Microwave’s MicroTrack™ buried cable system as a system interface. The RCM manages the system status of the MicroTrack Processor (MTP), and system reporting of up to 4 RCMs.

  • Page 6: Hardware

    Power Converter Card (PCC) The Power Converter Card (PCC) fits into the cavity at the front of the INTREPID enclosure. It is held in place by two screws and connects to the RCM by two black cables. It converts a source voltage, 10.5 to 60 volts DC, to the +12 volt DC @ 150mA regulated power required by modules and auxiliary sensors.

  • Page 8 Figure 5 shows the typical wiring diagram from the MicroTrack Processor (MTP) to the Relay Control Module (RCM). The communications is RS485 and should use a 22 or 24 gauge twisted, shielded pair wire. Fiber optic devices can be used as well. The last RCM on the line should have the termination switch set to “Terminate” which is on.

  • Page 10: System Communications

    3.0 System Communications 3.1 Introduction To set up alarm reporting and communications hierarchy of the RCM network, use the Windows based HyperTerminal™ found in the system accessories on your computer. After setting the communications COM port, addresses and baud rates, the I/O properties can be loaded to each individual RCM. When setting up communications one RCM must be set as the “Poll Master”.
  • Page 11 Figure 9 – HyperTerminal Connection Description Figure 10 – HyperTerminal Connect To After entering a name and selecting an icon, click on OK. The “Connect To” dialog box will open as shown in Figure 10. Since a direct connection will be used nothing needs to be entered into the country/region, area code or phone number fields.
  • Page 12 In this dialog box the Bits per second (Baud Rate) must be set to 19200, the Data bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop bits to 1 and Flow control to Xon / Xoff. Once these parameters have been set, press OK. The RCM Editor (or the given name) HyperTerminal screen will open as shown in Figure 12-1.

  • Page 14: Software

    4.0 Software Definitions Before beginning the programming process, there are a few definitions and concepts to understand. • RCM – This is the Relay Control Module. It has 8 inputs and 8 relay outputs per board. Any number from 1 to 4 RCMs can be connected with the MTP. If the RCM’s Address is set to 1, and the Poll Master Tables are programmed in the RCM, then the RCM will act as the Poll Master.

    Figure 17 shows an example system that will be used as the example throughout this manual for the RCM programming. Defining the System Tables There are three (3) basic tables to fill out that will assist with programming and data entry. A block diagram of the tables and their functions are shown in Figure 18.

  • Page 17: Poll Master Group Output Definition Table

    Figure 19 – Poll Master Hardware Device Table Poll Master’s Group Output Definition Table The Poll Master’s Group Output Definition Table defines which relays are to be set whenever a particular Group Input goes into Alarm. These can be considered Zones. There can be up to 254 Groups. Each Group can have up to 8 relays assigned.

  • Page 18: Rcm Group Input Assignment Tables

    RCM Group Input Assignment Tables The RCM Group Input Definition Table is actually one table for each RCM in the system. The setup for RCM(s) is different than the setup for the MTP. These are summarized in the tables of Figures 21, 22, 23 and 24.

  • Page 20: Group Input Assignment Table For Mtp

    There are 8 external inputs on each RCM, plus the Tamper Switch and Comfail. Each input can be set as either Enabled (E) or Disabled (D), either Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) contacts, and either Normal (N) or Supervised (S) line (cable supervision). If the input is defined as Normal, then only the Alarm needs to be assigned to a Group.
