Before doing any changes of modules according to the specification below, please check that the CI522 versions are exchangeable. The CI522 is connected to two interface units. In order to minimize the disturbance during exchange of a communication interface, for example in case of failure, the following procedure should be followed: 1. Remove the modem cables from the back-up CI522 HW-module. 2. Change the back-up CI522 modules. 3. Connect the modem cable to the new module. 4. Generate a change-over by setting the CH_OVER-terminal on the CI522 DBelement to “yes” or ordering a change-over from the Operator Station. 5. The former back-up is now primary and the former primary has become backup. 6. Remove the modem cables from the new back-up CI522 HW-module 7. Change the back-up CI522 modules. 8. Connect the modem cable to the new module. Be sure the station number is not changed while exchanging CI522s. If the station number is changed the whole bus might need to be restarted. The Advant Controller 400 Series will automatically detect that the communication interface has been exchanged, and reload the proper configuration into the new communication interface
Starting an S800 I/O Station
When the network has been installed, the S800 I/O Station (CI810) can be started. The S800 I/O Station is subordinated an Advant Controller and can not start while the superior station is not started up on the bus. Initial Start-up An S800 I/O Station is configured and started from a superior Advant Controller. At start up the Advant Controller initiates the CI810 before it sends the configuration parameters to the CI810. The CI810 configures according to the received parameters. As the communication interface can not be a Bus Administrator its CDPs are configured on the Bus Administrator currently being a bus master. The station is running when the R (RUN) indicator is lit.
Selecting Station Address
Before powering up of the CI810, it must have been assigned a station number. The station number is selected with the address switches on the CI810 front. The station number must be in the range of 1 to 79. Please refer to the S800 I/O documentation for further information. The station address has no relation to the order of the stations along the bus. They merely represent physical addresses which are used to refer to specific stations. The CI810 station number acts as the hardware address of the communication interface on the Advant Fieldbus 100.
