Chell Document No. : 900263 Issue 1.0 ECO : ---- Date: 26 June 2024 Chell’s policy of continuously updating and improving products means that this manual may contain minor differences in specification, components and software design from the actual instrument supplied.
CCD-PCU has the ability to emulate some CMD120 commands over ethernet. This manual has been written for the CCD-PCU Version 1.0.0. And should also be read with the latest CCD104-Mk2 Operating manual for reference. Page 3...
Specification 2.1 Power Supply: PoE specification: IEEE 802.3at Type 1, 12W max. 2.2 Package: Dimensions 482.6 x 114.5 x 88.1mm Weight 1.5kg 2.3 Ethernet Specifications: TCP/IP 10Mb/s & 100Mb/s via Auto Negotiation TCP protocol supported 2.4 Operating conditions: Operating temperature range: -55C to +90C Storage temperature range: -55C to +90C...
3.1 Wiring – Power & comms Cat 6 Cable terminated with RJ45 Connector. 3.2 Mounting Holes. The CCD-PCU uses 4 mounting holes typically seen on other 19” rack mounted panels. M6 bolts and cage nuts are typically used to mount 19” rack panels. Page 6...
4.1 Introduction. The configuration for the CCD-PCU is performed by using the embedded webserver. The webserver for the CCD-PCU is divided into 3 tabs named, ‘Dashboard’, ‘Configuration’ and ‘Factory Tools’ Dashboard Page ‘Dashboard’ provides an overview of the data and setpoint values coming back from the 5 connected CCD104’s and also on this page the 5 devices configured...
CCD-PCU and will also reset any connected CCD104’s and is required when changing the IP address of the CCD-PCU. A soft reset simply restarts the application and is useful for resetting when changing Devices 1-5 Configurations to allow the CCD-PCU to attempt to reconnect to the CCD104’s.
The CCD-PCU Configuration section allows the user to change the I.P Address and Subnet Mask of the CCD-PCU. Once this apply button has been set a pop-up will occur indicating that the CCD-PCU will hard reset, clicking the okay button on the pop-up will initiate the hard-reset.
Subnet Masks of the 5 CCD104’s. Once the user is happy with the settings the CCD-PCU requires a reset to allow it to reconnect. Please note that it is assumed that the I.P address and Subnet mask has also been changed on the CCD104 device.
Table 1 in Appendix A summarises all commands and queries currently supported by the CCD-PCU. Note that where a command is also a query, you do not enter any parameters for the query ‘version’ unless explicitly stated in the table.
Main commands 5.3.1 Output current readings – ‘r’ This command tells the CCD-PCU to get the current readings of the input channels and output them to the comms. If the input voltage for a channel is more than 15% over the full scale voltage set for the channel, the <reading>...
5.3.2 Output current readings repeatedly – ‘rp’ The CCD-PCU is also able to report the current readings repeatedly, at a given interval. This command starts and stops this repeat activity by setting the parameter accordingly: 0 = Repeat off 1 = Repeat every 500ms...
5.3.4 Setpoint mode – ‘spm’ This command sets the mode for a particular setpoint. The command takes two parameters, the first of which is the setpoint(s) to set. Like the setpoint value command, this parameter can be a single setpoint or a block (e.g. 5-10). The second parameter is a number between 0 &...
IP ADDRESS: <xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx> digit octet. 5.4.2 Ethernet subnet mask – ‘esm?’ The current subnet mask of the CCD-PCU can be retrieved using the query ‘esm?’. The returned data is: SUBNET MASK: <xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx> …where <xxx> is always a three digit octet.
The current units strings for all input channels can be retrieved using the query ‘uiu?’. The data returned is one line for each input channel and is as follows: CH<x> UNITS STR: <units> … where… <x> = the channel number <units>...
5.5.3 Input channel full scale – ‘uif’ This command is used to set the full scale voltage for an input channel. It takes two parameters – the first is the input channel number (1-20), the second is the actual full scale value. The first parameter can again be a single channel or a block of channels.
10). The optional second parameter is ‘0’, which clears any value already generated by a previous rezero for a specific channel. Please note that when performing a block channel rezero on the CCD-PCU that the rezero takes 3 seconds per channel.
Service and Calibration 6.1 Service There are no user serviceable parts inside the instruments. Should any difficulties be encountered in the use of the CCD-PCU, it is recommended that you contact Chell Instruments Ltd for advice and instructions. 6.2 Adjustment There are no user adjustments in the instrument.
