3 Introduction

Figure 4.1: SCADAPack ES RTU

The SCADAPack ES is an intelligent microprocessor based telemetry and control unit.

The SCADAPack ES may operate Stand-alone providing data acquisition, process control and telemetry
functions, or in conjunction with other SCADAPack E RTUs and peripherals such as PLC’s.
The SCADAPack ES features extensive communications capabilities including Ethernet interfaces and a
powerful embedded micro-controller to provide the user with a sophisticated telemetry Remote Terminal
Unit (RTU) in an Open Systems environment.
Many operational facilities can be configured, depending on the required telemetry and control
application. This manual describes the hardware aspects of the SCADAPack ES.
Complete floating point PLC type operations are provided, which can be programmed in any of the five
IEC61131-3 programming languages. The SCADAPack ES supports hardware floating point capability for
high performance. Open systems communication protocols such as DNP3 and MODBUS are provided,
including TCP/IP, Open Modbus/TCP and Modbus RTU in TCP within the RTU’s firmware.
The SCADAPack ES has an extensive on-board I/O capability. The on-board switch mode power supply
allows operation from a single external voltage supply (10 – 30 Vdc, depending on model purchased).
The use of FLASH memory chips allows new firmware to be downloaded via the RTU interfaces, both
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 9

locally and remotely, without removing the RTU from its enclosure, or removing the lid. RTU
configurations are maintained in the on-board battery backed RAM and may be modified locally or
remotely.
 10 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

4 Hardware Overview
This section presents a brief introduction to the major components of the SCADAPack ES
The SCADAPack ES is an advanced Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) combining a high speed processor,
large memory capacity, analog and digital I/O, serial and Ethernet communications, IEC 61131-3 logic
and a number of industry standard protocols in a single unit. The complete specifications of the
SCADAPack ES RTU are in the Specifications 97 section of this manual.
Generally Power Supply ports and I/O ports are protected against surge voltages and other conditions.
However, if you need to remove the lid of the RTU for any reason, first observe the following warning.

CAUTION
The electronics inside the RTU can be destroyed by static electricity. If you need to
remove the lid you need to wear a wrist strap. This wrist strap needs to be
connected to the earth stud on the side of the unit. Not observing this simple step
can cause total or intermittent loss of operation and will void the warranty.

 16 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

4.4.2 Utility Port Compact Flash, OS Flash, & Boot Monitor Flash

Utility Port Compact Flash

The Utility Port is a Compact Flash (CF) slot that provides extra non-volatile file-system storage using
standard CF memory cards.
The SCADAPack ES provides one External Compact Flash socket (UTILITY), and an option for an
additional Internal Compact Flash Socket. These sockets can be used for supplementary file system
storage (e.g. Compact FLASH memory cards).
It is recommended that Compact Flash use the external Compact Flash socket, where possible. The
external socket provides physical access for card connectors, exposure for antennas, etc.

CAUTION
The UTILITY port supports the insertion and removal of Compact Flash or utility
cards on-line (hot-swap). However, the operation of the SCADAPack ES may be
adversely affected by doing so, particularly removing cards that are in use by the
SCADAPack ES.

The UTILITY and optional internal Compact Flash interfaces support the following card types:
3.3V card types only supported
up to 2GB memory capacity cards supported

Operating System Flash

The operating system flash stores the SCADAPack ES firmware. The firmware implements the
communications protocols (DNP3, TCP/IP, Modbus etc), the Point Database (point configurations) and
the ISaGRAF kernel (which runs the user-defined sequence and control applications).
The use of flash memory chips allows new firmware to be down-loaded either locally (via serial port) and
remotely (by file upload and command execution), without removing the RTU from its enclosure.

Boot Monitor Flash

The boot monitor firmware resides in a separate flash memory chip on the processor board. The boot
monitor firmware is the first code executed by the CPU when power is applied to the RTU. The boot
monitor configures the RTU hardware then verifies, loads, and executes the operating system firmware.
The boot monitor also provides facilities for re-programming the operating system and boot monitor flash
memory.
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 17

4.4.3 Serial (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) Ports & Ethernet Ports

Serial (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) Ports

The serial ports of the SCADAPack ES use standard RJ-12 connectors. The following options are
software configurable, in various combinations, where supported for the serial port:

Function – DNP3, Modbus, Command Line, ISaGRAF etc

Mode – RS-232/422/485, Hayes Modem, GPRS etc

Baud Rate – Standard data rates between 300bps to 115200bps

Data Mode – Data bits, Stop bits, and Parity

Ports 2 and 3 support the software selection of RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Other ports only support
RS-232.

See Cold Boot Mode 57 for serial port default settings.

Ethernet Ports
The SCADAPack ES has two 10/100Base-T Ethernet Ports that can be used for TCP/IP communication
and Remote I/O.
The SCADAPack ES provides a range of TCP/IP services including FTP, TELNET, BOOTP, as well as
providing other TCP/IP enabled protocols such as DNP3 and Modbus.
The Ethernet Ports are disabled by default.
 18 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

4.5 I/O Board (Local Physical I/O)

The SCADAPack ES Model A includes an I/O board containing the following I/O:
32 digital inputs (including 8 dual function high speed counter inputs)
16 digital outputs
12 analog inputs
4 analog outputs
Some SCADAPack ES models are shipped with less physical I/O. Refer to SCADAPack ES Model
Numbers 10 for details.

The Local I/O can be:

locally controlled using ISaGRAF user application code.
monitored & controlled from a remote site.
transferred to an attached PLC for processing by that PLC.
time-stamped and stored locally in files for later up-load to a SCADA Master.
These operations are provided by the SCADAPack E operating system firmware. For more information
see the SCADAPack E Technical Overview manual.

The local I/O of the SCADAPack ES is located on a separate circuit board.

I/O systems on this board are controlled by a local microprocessor.
The processor and I/O boards are connected via four 40-pin connectors and communicate via dual port
RAM.
Both the microprocessors on the processor board and the I/O board continually monitor the status of
each other, and if any problems are detected (e.g. loss of communications between the two boards), the
hardware peripherals are powered down and the binary outputs are cleared.
The microprocessor on the I/O board:
Monitors the state/value of inputs – Changes are time-stamped by the I/O board CPU and written to
the processor board
Performs basic filtering of analog inputs
Performs basic de-bouncing of digital outputs
Receives output control requests from the processor board and controls the corresponding outputs

5.4 Power Supply Requirements

The SCADAPack ES is powered through a 3 terminal connector, labeled I/P on the module cover.
The RTU is designed for a 10-30VDC operating voltages. The input power supply must be a filtered DC
supply.
An auxiliary DC power output (labeled O/P on the module cover) is optionally available for operation of
external equipment, such as modems or Vision operator interfaces. Refer to the SCADAPack ES
Model Numbers 10 and Specifications 97 sections in this manual for the voltage output and the
ratings of the auxiliary DC output.
The SCADAPack ES is typically powered from a 12VDC power supply, battery, or 24VDC power supply.
Refer to the Specifications 97 section for the input voltage limits and power requirements. The power
requirements will be determined by the number of relays energized, the loading on the auxiliary power
outputs and the number of analog outputs. The power required will range from as low as 6 W to as high
as 18.8W at 12V with every relay energized, the auxiliary supply output fully loaded and the analog
outputs in use.

WARNING
SELV (Safety or Separated Extra Low Voltage) power supplies are required on the
power input and I/O points. Power supplies with 100-240Vac inputs that comply
with safety standard IEC/EN 60950 generally have SELV outputs. Check with the
manufacturer or the agency certification listing to confirm that they have SELV
outputs.

5.5 SCADAPack ES Inputs/Outputs (I/O)

Inputs and outputs contained on the SCADAPack ES I/O boards are described in the sections that
follow.
See the section SCADAPack ES Model Numbers 10 for the I/O available for each model type.
These Inputs and Outputs can be:
monitored & controlled from a SCADA master station
monitored & controlled from a remote outstation
used to perform local control (using ISaGRAF user application code)
transferred to an attached PLC for processing by that PLC
time-stamped and stored locally for later retrieval manually or automatically
any combination of the above.
These facilities are provided by the SCADAPack ES Operating System firmware.
For more information see the SCADAPack E Technical Overview.
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 29

5.5.1 Digital Inputs

Digital Inputs are organized into groups of eight inputs each with a single (shared) common.
The common for a group of inputs is isolated from the common for other input groups on the same
SCADAPack ES I/O card.
Optical isolation is provided on digital inputs.
Wetting voltage for the volt-free contacts is usually provided by the SCADAPack ES DC power used with
the SCADAPack ES.
The example shown in Figure 6.4 29 below has one switch contact monitored by Digital Input 8.

‘E’ 10 ms 2500 ms 10 ms
30 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

The SCADAPack ES I/O board also provides digital input state de-bouncing. The minimum resolution for
de-bouncing and the maximum de-bounce period is shown in the table above.

If the SCADAPack ES configuration enables de-bouncing on a digital input channel, then SOE time-
stamping on the digital point has the same resolution as the de-bounce resolution.
Each digital input channel on the SCADAPack ES can also be used as a counter input. Specific digital
input channels have hardware counter support providing high-speed counter facilities. The other digital
input channels have support for configuration as software counters.
For more information see Section Counter Inputs 31 , and configuration information in the SCADAPack
E Configuration Technical Reference manual.
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 31

5.5.2 Counter Inputs

SCADAPack ES digital input channel can also be used as counter input channel.
SCADAPack ES counter inputs are represented as 32-bit counters. As defined in the following table,
some inputs can be used as software counters only, whilst others have high-speed hardware counter
capability.

Table 6.4: Counter Input facilities

I/O board Counter Inputs Software-only Maximum Hardware- Maximum

Model (DI channels) Counter Inputs Software capable Hardware
Count Rate Counter Inputs Count Rate

‘A’ 1-32 1-12, 17-28 40 Hz 13-16, 29-32 1 kHz

‘E’ 1-16 1-12 40 Hz 13-16 1 kHz

When Software-Only Counter Input channels are used, the corresponding digital input de-bounce and
invert settings are applied prior to counting transitions of the input. If set as non-inverting (default
configuration), counter input points count OFF to ON transitions. If configured as an inverted digital input
point, ON to OFF transitions are counted on the corresponding counter channel. De-bounce is applied
to input state changes in both directions, regardless of the point’s invert settings. A contact bounce of
duration less than the de-bounce period will not increment the software counter.
Hardware counting on hardware-capable counter channels does NOT include the capability for input de-
bounce or input state inversion. The hardware counts ON to OFF transitions only. It is recommended
that only clean-edge signals be counted using hardware counters.

If a de-bounce period is set on a digital input point corresponding to a Hardware-capable Counter input,
hardware counting is de-activated. The input will become a Software Counter with both de-bounce and
invert capability. In this case the software counter specifications apply.
 32 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

5.5.3 Digital Outputs

Each SCADAPack ES digital output is driven by a low-power relay.

Electrical isolation is provided between the SCADAPack ES and the device being controlled. Relays
comprise a DPDT relay. Each relay output connection comprising three terminals; COM, N.O. and N.C.
contacts for one relay pole.
A signal from the second pole on each relay is provided as feedback to software to verify correct relay
activation on each operation.
The relays have MOV protection provided across the outputs to provide basic surge protection and to
protect against spikes that can occur if the relays are used to drive inductive loads. External lightning
protection is required if the device being controlled is outside the area (building/cubicle) in which the
SCADAPack ES is located.
The example shown in Figure 6.5 32 below has Load 3 controlled by the NO contact of DO 3 and Load
7 controlled by the NO contact of DO7. Load 3 is switched from the +ve side of the power supply. Load 7
is switched by the –ve side of the power supply.

 34 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

5.5.4 Analog Inputs

SCADAPack ES Model A RTU has 12 analog inputs for external connection to analog field devices.
Each analog input can be individually configured to accept one of the following input signals:
Standard calibration is 4–20mA
Optional calibration is 1–5V
Custom calibrations possible. Contact the factory.
The input signal for each input is selected through a combination of hardware jumpers and software
calibration.
Each analog input is optically isolated from both the SCADAPack ES logic electronics, and the other
analog inputs.
For each analog input channel there is one jumper. This jumper selects between current and voltage
input modes.
If a voltage exceeding 16VDC is connected to the Analog Input channel terminals, the AI
channel protection fuses will blow.
The analog inputs are polarity sensitive. The polarity is marked on the cover of the
SCADAPack ES and in Figure 6.6 35 .
The default analog input calibration is 4-20mA. Removal of the jumper associated with the analog input
will result in an un-calibrated 1-5V analog input. Refer to Table 6.5 34 for jumper settings for analog
inputs.

Voltage input – remove the two-pin jumper.

Current input – insert the two-pin jumper.

If an Analog Input channel is changed from Current to Voltage mode or from Voltage to Current mode,
the AI channel calibration should be checked.

The example shown in Figure 6.6 35 below has Transmitter 1 "grounded" and connected to AI1.
Transmitter 6 is connected to the +ve supply and AI6. These two different connections are possible
because the SCADAPack ES has isolated analog inputs.
The SCADAPack ES has extensive spike and over-voltage protection on each analog channel,
consisting of: gas arrestors, fuses, zener diodes and spike filters. If a transducer/transmitter connected
to an analog channel is placed outside of the building or structure where the SCADAPack ES is
installed, there is an increased possibility of extremely severe surges caused by lightning. In such cases
additional surge protection needs to be supplied by the user.
Presentation of analog channel quantities to the SCADAPack ES software is described in the
SCADAPack E Configuration Technical Reference manual.

5.5.5 Analog Outputs

The analog output (AO) channels need to be powered with an external 9 to 30VDC (nominally 12 or
24VDC) power supply. The SCADAPack ES analog output channels can be configured to be 4-20mA or
0-20mA. If a voltage output is required (say 1V-5V), run the 4-20mA signal to the device requiring the
voltage input and place a 250 Ohm resistor across the device input terminals. The analog output is
electrically isolated from the rest of the RTU, but not isolated from the power supply.

There is a set of two jumpers controlling the operation of each analog output channel. These are 3 pin
jumpers that have been permanently configured for external power required in the SCADAPack
ES.

The example wiring shown in Figure 6.7 37 shows a load connected to AOUT2.

outputs are isolated from each other and the RTU logic.
Figure 6.8 38 below displays the allowable output resistance range for any given AO input supply
voltage. The load resistance for any given power supply voltage is limited on the high resistance end by
the requirement for proper operation of the analog output circuit and on the low resistance end to limited
the power dissipation in the analog output. For instance, if the AO channel is powered using a 12VDC
supply, the load resistance needs to be in the 0 to 250 ohm range. If the AO channel is powered using
a 24VDC supply, the load resistance needs to be in the 0 to 850 ohm range. If the AO channel is
powered using a 30VDC supply, the load resistance needs to be in the 150 to 1150 ohm range.

5.5.6.1 Power & Software Requirements

Power Requirements
5000 Series Input/Output modules require 5V. The SCADAPack ES controller provides this 5V.
SCADAPack ES models have a limited amount of current available at 5V. It is recommended that
applications that use 5000 Series I/O expansion be configured with a 5V Auxiliary supply. Refer to the
Power Supply 100 section for the power limitations of these 5V outputs.
Some of the 5000 Series I/O modules require a nominal 24Vdc to power the field side circuitry. Refer to
the individual module specifications for the voltage limits and the current requirements for these modules.
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 41

5.5.6.2 Inter Module Cables

5000 Series I/O modules are supplied with a short inter module cable suitable for connecting two
adjacent modules. In larger systems it may become necessary to use longer inter module cables (IMC)
to complete the system. These longer cables are available in a variety of different lengths ranging from
12 inches (0.3m) to 450 inches (1.14m) long.

5.5.6.3 Installation Rules and Recommendations

Use the shortest length inter module cable possible.

The maximum total length of inter module cables is 48 inches (1.22m). This length restriction does not
include the short inter module cable supplied with the I/O module. The maximum number of modules is
16.
Never run inter module cables near any electrical noise sources such inductive load switching or variable
frequency drives.
Do not install the inter module cable in the same cable tray or in parallel with field wiring. Inter module
cables may cross field wiring at 90° if necessary.
Connect the shielding wire on the inter module cable to a convenient chassis ground point. There is a
self tapping screw supplied with each cable. There is a small hole in the I/O module for grounding the
shielding wire.
Confirm that the power supply is rated for the total number of modules in the system. Install additional
power supplies if required.
For additional details, refer to the SCADAPack E 5000 Series I/O Expansion Reference manual.

5.7 Ethernet Communication

The SCADAPack ES provides two physical Ethernet network interfaces. Two external connectors are
provided permitting connection to the IEEE standard 10/100Base-T local area network (LAN) types. The
UTP Ports use RJ-45 connectors. Both ports can run at 10Mbps or 100Mbps, at Half or Full duplex.
The SCADAPack ES automatically detects an active Ethernet port and the supported speed of the
connected device, giving preference to 100Mbps Full Duplex connection if possible. The upper GREEN
LED situated adjacent to the UTP (RJ-45) Ethernet connector is lit when the UTP Ethernet interface is
ACTIVE. The lower GREEN LED blinks with Ethernet RX and TX activity.
The UTP ports are used for point-to-point Ethernet connections. They are usually connected to an
Ethernet Hub or Switch, although it is possible to connect devices together directly using an RJ-45
reversal or crossed cable.
The SCADAPack ES supports TCP/IP networking and communications integration. The SCADAPack
ES conforms to the relevant IEEE and TCP/IP RFC standards, and may be used in a wide range of LAN
and WAN topologies, including systems using Routers, Bridges, Terminal Servers, Hubs, Switches, etc.

Each SCADAPack ES Ethernet port can be configured for a variety of communications protocols,
functions, speeds and data formats. See the SCADAPack E TCP/IP Technical Reference manual and
the SCADAPack E Configurator User Manual for configuration details.

10/100BASE-T Networks
These networks are also known as UTP (unshielded twisted pair), copper wire, Category 3, 4 and 5
Ethernet wire, or twisted pair.
The IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T specification requires that 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T devices support UTP
100-120 Ohm unshielded twisted pair cables of not less than 100m in length. This requirement does not
factor in losses due to connectors, patch panels, punch-down blocks, or other cable management
hardware, which introduce additional loss. For each connector or other intrusive cable management
device in the total link, subtract 12m from the total allowable link length.
As long as specifications are met for the entire length of the cable, UTP cable segments can be run up
to a maximum allowable length of 200m.
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 51

5.8 Hex Switches and Special Function Modes

The SCADAPack ES has two Rotary Hex Switches. They are used for selecting the operating mode of
the RTU. The dual rotary hex switches provide a unique hexadecimal number from 00h to FFh. Settings
F0h to FFh are used for special modes such as firmware loading, calibration, etc. see the SCADAPack
E Operational Reference for more information. SCADAPack ES calibration is described in Section
Calibration 73 .
The Hex Switches may be altered with power applied to the unit and that this may (in most cases will)
initiate an automatic SCADAPack ES operating system restart.

Single SCADAPack ES
Where the SCADAPack ES is utilized as a single RTU, it is recommended that the HEX Switches be
set to “00”. In this mode, the SCADAPack ES is a Main RTU with all facilities enabled.

SCADAPack ES Remote I/O

Where multiple SCADAPack ES RTUs are used in Remote I/O architectures, the HEX Switches identify
Main and Remote I/O units. For more information see the SCADAPack E Remote I/O Technical
Reference manual.

See Startup Modes 54 .

 52 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

5.9 Battery Replacement

A flat-package Lithium battery located on the bottom processor card of the SCADAPack ES provides
backup power to the RTU's real time clock and RAM memory. This battery is a user replaceable
component.
It may be desirable to replace the battery on-line if it is still capable of sustaining the SCADAPack ES
memory. This should be the case if the battery is replaced soon after the RTU has reported an internal
BATTERY LOW condition. Take care not to confuse this with an external power supply low condition.
The following procedure requires the SCADAPack ES to be powered off briefly, but maintains the
SCADAPack ES configurations if there is some capacity remaining in the on-board battery.
To replace the battery, follow the steps given below:
1. Power-off the RTU
2. Remove the RTU cover
3. Unfasten the holding screws between I/O board and processor board
4. Carefully unplug the I/O board from the processor board
5. Observe static handling procedures when handling the I/O board
6. Power-on the RTU
7. Carefully remove the flat lithium battery from its socket
8. Replace battery with any industry standard 3V lithium cell type CR2450. "+" side of the battery is
facing up.
9. Power-off the RTU
10. Carefully plug the I/O board back into the processor board lining up all pin connectors between the
two boards
11. Fasten the holding screws between the I/O board and processor board
12. Replace the RTU cover
13. Power-on the RTU

CAUTION
SCADAPack ES memory contents will be lost if the on-board battery goes flat or is
replaced with the power disconnected. If this occurs, user configurations will need
to be re-loaded for correct RTU operation.
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 53

5.10 SCADAPack E Configurator

The SCADAPack ES system is maintained and diagnosed using the SCADAPack E Configurator
software package.

SCADAPack E Configurator is included on the Installation CD that is included with all

Schneider Electric shipments. Contact Schneider Electric if you do not have a copy of
SCADAPack E Configurator.

This package is used to build and load RTU configurations.

SCADAPack E Configurator executes on PC desktop or server hardware using Windows® 2000 / XP

.
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 55

6.1 Run Mode

The RUN mode is the normal operating mode of the SCADAPack ES controller.
The controller starts in RUN mode when the HEX Switches are set to 00.
When the controller starts:
The RTU loads the defined serial and Ethernet communication parameters, for COM ports
RTU database configuration and point attributes are loaded
ISaGRAF application programs are loaded and executed
If there is no ISaGRAF application program in RAM and there is an application program in flash
ROM then the flash ROM program will be loaded in RAM and executed.
 56 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

6.2 Service Mode

SERVICE mode is used for configuration, programming and maintenance work, usually when the
communication settings are unknown.
When the HEX Switches are set to F0, the SCADAPack ES controller restarts in SERVICE mode.
When the controller starts up:
Temporarily sets the DNP3 node address to zero (0), enabling communication via SCADAPack E
Configurator at a known DNP address. Connect SCADAPack E Configurator to PORT 0, PORT 1 or
PORT 2.
The ISaGRAF user applications are stopped.
Programs and configurations are retained in non-volatile memory.

6.4 Other Startup Modes

The complete list of HEX Switch settings applicable to SCADAPack ES RTUs is shown below.
Switch settings F0-FF are used for RTU startup modes on SCADAPack ES RTUs.
(The SCADAPack E device address for the various RTU protocols is set by software configuration and is
not by the switch settings).

As there are startup modes that force the SCADAPack E DNP3 device address to 0, it is recommended
that DNP3 device Address ‘0’ not be configured for use in SCADAPack E RTU DNP3 systems. For
more information see the SCADAPack E DNP3 Technical Reference manual.

Changing the HEX switch settings to a value in the range 00-F0 will cause an RTU system restart with
entry into the appropriate start mode.
Switching the RTU to addresses F1 - FF will require the RTU to be separately reset (e.g. powered off &
on) in order for the special operation to take affect.

6.5 SCADAPack ES Remote I/O Switch Settings

The SCADAPack ES and SCADAPack ER RTUs use hardware HEX switches to set MAIN and Remote
I/O Group and Unit addresses for SCADAPack ES Remote I/O.
Both SCADAPack ES and SCADAPack ER RTU supports operation as a MAIN RTU for communication
with SCADAPack ES Remote I/O units via serial and Ethernet links.
Remote I/O operation uses HEX switch settings in the range 00- EF. The first switch setting (first hex
digit) indicates the Remote I/O Group number. Up to 15 different Remote I/O groups are supported on
the same physical link(s), being selected by switch settings 0 – 9, A – E. Each Remote I/O Group
needs to have 1 Main unit and may have multiple Remote I/O units.
In many systems there is only one remote I/O group. Typically the group number is set to 0.
The second switch setting (second hex digit) indicates the Remote I/O Unit number. One MAIN unit is
permitted per Remote I/O group (unit address 0), and up to 15 Remote I/O units may be connected to
the same Main unit, being selected by switch settings 1 – 9, A – F.
Each Main and Remote I/O unit on the same physical network needs to have a unique HEX address
switch setting.

For normal RTU operation as a Single RTU, it is recommended that the SCADAPack ES or
SCADAPack ER RTU HEX Switches be set to “00”.

For more information see the SCADAPack E Remote I/O Technical Reference manual.

7.1 On Board Indication LEDs

The SCADAPack ES has several Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), which provide status information such
as:
Each digital input and output has an individual LED, which illuminates when the input/output is active
(on)
Tx and Rx LEDs which illuminate data is transmitted or received
Several LEDs are provided by the processor board and displayed through the enclosure of SCADAPack
ES. These can be used for diagnostic and operational indication. Table 6.10 61 shows the LED name,
color and description.
Table 6.-10: Indication LEDs

LED Name Color Description

RUN Red Blinks when the SCADAPack ES is running
TX Yellow Transmitting data on a Network communication port
RX Red Receiving data on a Network communication port
LED1 / LANIP Green Blinks with Ethernet or TCP/IP activity
LED2 / COMM Green Blinks with peripheral communication activity
UTIL Red Blinks upon completion of a specific operations on the
Compact FLASH Utility port
Ethernet 1 Green (Upper) UTP Ethernet 1 Link Up

Ethernet 1 Green (Internal) UTP Ethernet 1 Full Duplex
Ethernet 2 Green (Upper) UTP Ethernet 2 Link Up
Ethernet 2 Green (Lower) UTP Ethernet 2 RX/TX
Ethernet 2 Green (Internal) UTP Ethernet 2 Full Duplex

RUN indicates the operational status of the SCADAPack ES micro-controller and software operation.
When the SCADAPack ES Boot Monitor is starting up, this LED will blink at approximately a 0.5-
second rate. Following Boot Monitor startup, it will blink rapidly in succession to indicate initialization of
the SCADAPack ES operating system firmware. After initialization is complete it blinks at approximately
a 1.5-second rate. If it ceases to blink (i.e. remains continuously on or off) for more than approx. five
seconds, the SCADAPack ES is not functioning correctly.
RX indicates receipt of date by the SCADAPack ES from a telemetry interface port (may be serial and/
or Ethernet depending upon the SCADAPack ES configuration).
RUN / RX LEDs may flash alternately when the SCADAPack ES is in Boot Monitor programming mode.
For more information see the SCADAPack E Operational Reference manual and the SCADAPack E
Firmware Update User Manual.
TX is turned on while the SCADAPack ES is transmitting data to a telemetry interface port (may be
serial and/or Ethernet depending upon the SCADAPack ES configuration).
LED1 or LANIP usually indicates TCP/IP communication activity on either of the SCADAPack ES
Ethernet Ports or via a serial port configured with a valid PPP configuration.
62 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

LED2 or COMM usually indicates communication activity with peripheral devices, such as PLC’s,
external to the SCADAPack ES.
UTIL may flash to indicate completion of an operation on the Compact FLASH Utility port (e.g. Security
key configuration successfully loaded from Compact FLASH card - for more information see
SCADAPack E Security Technical Reference Manual).
Ethernet LEDs adjacent to each Ethernet ports on the SCADAPack ES processor board indicates an
active UTP Ethernet connection and RX/TX data activity.

7.2 Internal Analog Points

Internal analog points measure RTU input Supply voltage and the controller's ambient temperature.
These can be accessed from a user application program or via remote RTU communications.

Internal temperature
Internal Temperature o C
System Analog Point 50062
This analog system point measures the ambient temperature at the controller circuit board in degrees
Celsius. It is useful for measuring the operating environment of the controller and returns an integer value
in the range –40 to 75.
The temperature reading represents temperatures in the range –40°C to 75°C. Temperatures outside this
range cannot be measured.
Use the system point directly by assigning an analog point of this point number (50062) in the RTU
database
Read the system point into a user ISaGRAF application as an Integer or Real variable from an Input
Board connection

Internal Temperature o F
System Analog Point 50063
This analog system point measures the ambient temperature at the controller circuit board in degrees
Fahrenheit. It is useful for measuring the operating environment of the controller and returns an integer
value in the range –40 to 167.
The temperature reading represents temperatures in the range –40°C to 167°F. Temperatures outside
this range cannot be measured.
Use the system point directly by assigning an analog point at this point number (50063) in the RTU
database
Read the system point into a user ISaGRAF application as an Integer or Real variable from an input
board
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 65

7.3 Internal Binary Points

Internal system binary points are provided which indicate the status such as the RTU input Supply
voltage and the controller's on-board lithium battery. These can be accessed from a user application
program or via remote RTU communications.
Local Input Power Supply Low

Binary System Point 50206

An internal binary point indicates the condition of the input power supply. It compares the Supply
Voltage System Analog Point 50060 with the
Low Voltage Alarm Level set in SCADAPack E Configurator General / Control Modes page. If the input
power supply is lower than the Low Voltage Alarm Level then this Binary System Point is activated.

Use the system point directly by assigning a binary point to this point number (50206) in the RTU
database
For ISaGRAF applications, read the status point through an Input Board connection.

Local On Board Battery Low

Binary System Point 50207

An internal binary point indicates the condition of a monitor on the lithium battery that maintains the non-
volatile RAM in the controller.
If active, the point indicates that the on-board controller battery needs replacement.

Use the system point directly by assigning a binary point to this point number (50207) in the RTU
database
For ISaGRAF applications, read the status point through an Input Board connection.
 66 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

7.4 Start-Up & Diagnostic Display Session

Start-Up Diagnostics
At start-up, the SCADAPack ES can display information about its start-up sequence and configuration.
If a CmdLine command line port is configured on the RTU, ASCII text is displayed through this port as
the RTU starts up. After completion of the RTU start-up, the SCADAPack ES usually terminates the
diagnostic session and enters command mode. The entry to command mode after start-up can be
optionally disabled, leaving the RTU in the diagnostic display session. This is achieved using the
SYSDIAG OVERRIDE command described in SCADAPack E Operational Reference manual.

Diagnostic Display Session

The SCADAPack ES, through the Diagnostic Display session, may indicate exceptional RTU operating
conditions. This is available from a CmdLine command line port on the RTU using the DIAG command.
Alternatively, a Command Line shell through an RTU ISaGRAF port (when IEC 61131-3 Target 3 is
enabled only), or via Telnet provides access to the diagnostic display session. Where a direct serial
connection or Telnet is not available, diagnostics can be remotely acquired by directing the diagnostics
to an RTU file. This is achieved using the FILEDIAG command described in SCADAPack E Operational
Reference manual. This diagnostics log file can then be retrieved using DNP3 file transfer for analysis.
SCADAPack ES diagnostics are provided for every aspect of RTU communications and exceptional RTU
operating conditions. The following operational diagnostics are specifically supported:
DNP3 diagnostics at each protocol layer, including network routing.
TCP/IP diagnostics including DNP3 over IP, IP servers, TCP service ports, etc.
PLC communication diagnostics including protocol packet displays, communication status and
device status for serial and network PLC services.
RTU system diagnostics.
SCADAPack ES diagnostics may indicate SCADAPack ES operational information that assists in
trouble shooting. To sort these diagnostics from normal operational messages, it may be advantageous
to disable DNP, TCP/IP, PLC and SYSTEM diagnostics using DNPDIAG, TCPDIAG, PLCDIAG and
SYSDIAG commands from the command-line. Other RTU diagnostics use the following format to assist
in identifying messages from various SCADAPack ES tasks:
Task-name>>diagnostic text
 SCADAPack ES Hardware 67

7.5 Command Line Diagnostics

The SCADAPack ES command line operations & diagnostic display can be accessed using an ASCII
terminal via a SCADAPack ES port configured as Cmd Line, or its ISaGRAF port. Telnet can also be
used via TCP/IP links. The RTU also supports a Remote Command Line whereby the command line
interface can be accessed for remote SCADAPack ES units over DNP3 links. This uses DNP3 standard
Virtual Terminal capability. A Remote Command Line (Virtual Terminal) window is provided in
SCADAPack E Configurator to access this functionality in the RTU.
At RTU start-up, configuration information and diagnostics are displayed on an ASCII terminal on the
RTU’s Cmd Line port. The RTU then defaults to command line mode. The Diagnostic Display mode can
be connected by entering the DIAG command. To enter Command mode from Diagnostic Display
press <Escape>. When in SYSDIAG OVERRIDE mode, the RTU remains in Diagnostic Display mode
after start-up rather than entering Command mode. To enter Command mode press <Escape>.
Command mode provides a wide range of commands for interrogating the operational status of a
SCADAPack ES RTU. These are detailed in the SCADAPack E Operational Reference manual.
Command line operations and diagnostic display are also supported on the ISaGRAF workbench port.
The RTU need not be configured with a Cmd Line port in this case. An ASCII terminal can be
connected to the ISaGRAF workbench port, and after inputting <Enter><Enter><Enter>, the port enters
Command mode. To return to ISaGRAF Workbench debugging mode, enter the command “BYE”.

CAUTION
The "BYE" command should be issued prior to disconnecting the ASCII terminal for
correct ISaGRAF operation.

The Command line operations and diagnostic display are also supported via TCP/IP interfaces using
Telnet. In addition, command line operations are also supported via DNP3 Virtual Terminal. The RTU
need not be configured with a Cmd Line or ISaGRAF port in these cases. Multiple Telnet sessions
may be established with the RTU on the same TCP/IP interface, or multiple sessions may be
established on multiple TCP/IP interfaces, simultaneously.

7.6.2 DNP3 and PLC Device Communication Errors & TCP/IP Errors

DNP3 Communication Errors

DNP3 communication errors are reported by the RTU through the Diagnostic Display session as DNP3
driver diagnostic information. These error codes are also reported through the ISaGRAF Peer
Communication function blocks in the output STATUS variable.
The DNP3 communication errors are NOT reported via the RTU System Error Point.
See the SCADAPack E DNP3 Technical Reference manual for a complete list of DNP3 Communication
Error Codes.

PLC Device Communication Errors

Error codes reported from PLC Device drivers on the RTU are through Analog System Points that
represent an error code resulting from communication between an ISaGRAF PLC Device I/O Board and a
PLC Device. The PLC Device communication errors are NOT reported via the SCADAPack E System
Error Point.
These error codes are detailed in the following manuals:
SCADAPack E ISaGRAF Technical Reference manual
SCADAPack E Target 5 Technical Reference manual
SCADAPack E Modbus Communication Interfaces manual

TCP/IP Errors
TCP/IP communication and configuration errors are reported by the RTU through the Diagnostic Display
session as TCP/IP diagnostic information. These error codes are also reported through the ISaGRAF
TCP/IP function blocks in the output STATUS variable.
The TCP/IP errors are reported via the RTU System Error Point for TCP/IP configuration problems.
See the SCADAPack E TCP/IP Technical Reference manual for a complete list of TCP/IP
Communication Error Codes.

7.7 Communication Statistics

A variety of communication statistics are provided by the RTU via System Analog points. These analog
points may be read from the RTU using specific DNP3 point range read requests. Alternatively they may
be read into an ISaGRAF user application via Input Boards, or Function Blocks.
Communication Statistic point values may be reset at any time by controlling the relevant System Point
value and setting it to 0. This may be done by an ISaGRAF user application or via DNP3 point controls.
The Communication Statistics System Analog points cannot be directly added to the RTU point
database and returned in DNP3 Class data polls. To map Communication Statistic points to a SCADA
Master, the values may be imported in to an ISaGRAF user application, manipulated if required, then
exported to a derived point, which can be configured for access by a SCADA Master.
There are three types of communication statistic points provided by the RTU:
SCADAPack E (global) communication statistics.
Port communication statistics.
TCP/IP communication statistics.
Communication Statistics System Analog points may be accessed as 16-bit or 32-bit Analog Input
points.
For Communication Statistics details see the SCADAPack E Operational Reference manual.

8 Calibration
This section describes how to calibrate the I/O interfaces provided on the SCADAPack ES.

CAUTION
The SCADAPack ES has been factory calibrated using high precision equipment.
Re-calibration of I/O should only be attempted by skilled personnel using high
quality, high precision equipment.

To check whether the calibration of the SCADAPack ES I/O meets the requirements of an attached
device, check the hardware jumper settings on the I/O board, and use SCADAPack E Configurator
software application to read from and control the RTU points associated with the device. For more
information refer to the SCADAPack E Technical Reference Manuals.

1: The analog inputs provided on the RTU have an accuracy of 0.1% over the operating
temperature range. Therefore when calibrating these a source with an accuracy of
0.05% or better should be used.
Similarly the analog outputs provided on the RTU have an accuracy of 0.1% over the
operating temperature range. Therefore when calibrating these, a meter with better
than 0.05% accuracy should be used.
2: To confirm that maximum accuracy is obtained when calibrating the analog output
channels two requirements need to be met. Firstly the RTU should be powered with
each analog output driving maximum current into a load resistance of 270 to 560
for a duration of 30 minutes prior to calibration.
This confirms that components have achieved operational temperature. In addition to
this the calibration instrument used should have an accuracy of 0.05% or better,
displaying the measurement to 3 decimal places or better.
3: Before calibrating the RTU, the RTU clock should be set with the correct date and
time. See the SCADAPack E Configurator Users Manual (Transfer Menu) for
instructions on setting the RTU time.
 74 SCADAPack ES Hardware Manual

8.1 Overview
The calibration interface is implemented as a simple menu system. To access the calibration menu,
connect a null modem serial cable to Port 4 of the SCADAPack ES RTU, set the configuration Hex
switches to FE, and cycle power to the controller.
The calibration menu enables calibration of the physical I/O as well as the voltage monitor. Additional
information can also be entered via the calibration interface that enables the generation of a ‘Test and
Calibration’ certificate. If any attempts are made to calibrate physical I/O, the user will be prompted to
enter the following information:
operator name
calibration equipment (source and measurement).
The following items are consistent throughout the calibration screens:
The menu title is shown at the top, in the middle of the screen.
The menu options are drawn in the centre of the screen.
The currently selected menu item is shown in reverse video.
To activate the currently selected menu item press the enter k ey.
To change the currently selected menu item, use the arrow k eys.
Alternatively the short-cut k ey, shown to the left of the menu item, may be used to immediately activate
any menu item.
The screen may be refreshed at any time by pressing the space bar.
The R short-cut key can be used from any menu to return to the previous menu (explanation of this
menu option is omitted from the remainder of this section).
At the bottom of the screen is the feedback area. This area displays the state of various calibration
settings and physical I/O. The information displayed in this area changes depending on the menu being
displayed.
For each of the following sections where selection of a menu item leads to a further menu, detailed
description of this item will be omitted from the section describing the higher-level menu, to avoid
duplication. Calibration screen examples are given for a SCADAPack ES A model RTU with the
32/16/12/4 I/O board. Calibration screen contents may vary for different I/O board models.

9.2 Routine Recommendations

This section explains maintenance recommendations for:

Primary Power Supply

The primary power for the SCADAPack ES is a DC power supply. If this is a mains operated power
supply charger with battery backup, replace the batteries every 36 months or earlier if necessary.

Real Time Clock and RAM Backup Battery

The battery for the real time clock and static RAM backup is found on the CPU (bottom) board. The
main task of the battery is to backup the microprocessor RAM chips and real-time clock, but it also
maintains the RTU configuration during a power-supply interruption.
The static RAM backup battery will retain the RTU configuration for at least two years if the unit is not
powered. Replace the battery after every five years of continuous use, or earlier if necessary.

RAM backup batteries are not re-chargeable.

Power Supply Alarms

The SCADAPack ES provide alarms for the following:

On-board lithium battery low.

Input power supply low.
If an Input Power Supply LOW alarm is generated, it may be due to power supply interruption, and/or low
voltage on primary DC backup batteries.

Cleaning
There are no special cleaning instructions for this product.
