HARDWARE 3 Hardware 3.1 Installation WARNING Disconnect and lock out all power to the AT10.1/AT30 battery charger before starting any maintenance procedures. Turn off power at the ac distribution panel, upstream from the charger. Disconnect the battery from the charger dc output terminals. This includes remote sense wires if they were installed. - Page 6 HARDWARE Figure 1 EN5004-0# AT Series Communications PC Board (A12) - left connected to EN5002-00 Main Control PC Board (A1) - right Step 5 Connect the communications module ballast resistor(s) (R29) to the power supply connection plug (J20). Pin 2 on J20 is +Vdc, and pin 4 is common. For wiring details, see assembly drawing (JE5107-00).

Page 14: Ethernet Connection (Optional)
HARDWARE Ethernet Connection (optional) A special AT Series Communications Module (p/n EJ5037-2#) can also be supplied, which supports both 10/100 MB copper Ethernet connections. These options have an RJ45 Ethernet socket (J1) installed onto a special A12 Communications PC Board (p/n EN5004-01). See Figure 2 on page 5 for details. - Page 15 HARDWARE If using Modbus protocol, use ASCII mode. RTU mode has tighter timing requirements that might prevent communications while using the modem. ASCII mode is enabled by configuration switch S1-4 in the ON position. Enable the RS-232 handshaking lines by setting the configuration switch S1-6 to the ON position.

Page 16: Configuration
CONFIGURATION Configuration All user configurable items are controlled by two (2) groups of switches, and a setup program to modify additional configuration parameters. The AT Series Communications Module must be reset, after changes have been made, for them to take effect. To reset communications, either press the RESET button (SW10) on the A12 pc board, or turn off then turn on, both the ac input (CB1) and dc output (CB2) circuit breakers. -
Page 17: Setup Program
CONFIGURATION Setup Program The setup program may only be used with an RS-232 serial connection. See Figure 3. Use a terminal mode program such as HyperTerminal with the baud rate set to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits, and no hardware handshaking. To enable the setup program, set switch S1-1 to ON. -
Page 18: Factory Defaults
CONFIGURATION If S1-2 is set to OFF for using factory default values, the parameters can be viewed. The parameters can be modified, but if S1-2 is still OFF (set to factory default values) when the Communications board is reset, all values will be changed back to factory defaults. Setting S1-2 to ON will allow user values to be used. -
Page 19: Communication Leds - Troubleshooting
CONFIGURATION 5 Communication LEDs - Troubleshooting The AT Communications Module pc board (A12) features LEDs to indicate the status of communications with the Main Control board (A1), the serial ports, and the optional Ethernet port. Reference Figure 2 on Page 5 for the location of the following LEDs. Main Control Board STATUS LED The STATUS LED (D1) is a red indicator located to the left of dipswitch (S1). -
Page 20: Reset Button
CONFIGURATION 6 RESET Button The RESET switch (SW10) is a small push-button, located directly below dipswitch (S2). See the image to the right, and/or Figure 2 on page 5 for location of the RESET button. The RESET switch, when pushed, will restart the AT Series Communication Module without resetting the charger's Main Control PC Board (A1). -

Page 36: Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)
APPENDIX A AT Series Communications Module FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS http://www.ATSeries.net/PDFs/JF5026-00.pdf What is the AT Communications Module? The AT Communications Module (ordering p/n EJ5037-##) allows an AT10.1 or AT30 Series microprocessor-controlled charger to interact with a computer system. With this option, a remote operator can read and change the parameters of the charger. Everything a user can do at the charger’s front panel display is accessible remotely. - Page 37 APPENDIX A How do I configure the AT Communications Module control board? For simple applications, the Communications pc board (A12) can be configured using DIP switches. The DIP switches set the Protocol, media type (RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet), serial speed (baud rate), Modbus protocol type (ASCCI or RTU), and the Modbus slave address.
- Page 38 APPENDIX A What is the difference between Modbus and DNP3? Modbus is an industrial protocol that has been used for many years. There are two (2) variations of the Modbus protocol: ASCII and RTU DNP3 is a newer protocol developed specifically for the utility industry. DNP3 can be configured so that if an event occurs, the charger will send a message to the computer system of any changes.
- Page 39 APPENDIX A Can a previously-purchased AT Series charger be field-upgraded with Ethernet Communications capability? Yes, a field kit (ordering p/n EJ5037-3#) can be provided. Please contact the factory with the AT Series battery charger serial number. That way, we can determine what components are required, and if any components need to be upgraded.
