1 Receiving & Mounting the AT SERIES EVO

1.1 OverviewThe EVO Communications options allow users to remotely observe any status or perform any function that is accessible at the charger’s front panel display. Two communications option boards are available, the Serial Communications Adapter and the Ethernet Communications Adapter.

The Serial Communication option supports 3-wire or 5-wire RS-232 and 2-wire or 4-wire RS-485 connections at BAUD rates from 9600 to 115.2K. The Ethernet Communications option supports standard RJ-45 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet connections. The communications options support DNP3 Level 2 and Modbus protocols..

2. PROTOCOLS



2 Protocols

2.1 Modbus OverviewThe communications options can be setup to communicate on standard Modbus networks using either of two transmission modes: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) or RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). The advantage of ASCII mode is that it allows less strict serial timing requirements without causing communication errors. The advantage of RTU mode is that it allows more data to be transmitted with less overhead than ASCII mode for higher throughput.

Modbus ASCII mode supports the following serial settings:

• No parity, 7 data bits, 2 stop bits

• Even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit

• Odd parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit

Modbus RTU mode supports the following serial settings:





Refer to Section 6.0 for more details about the Modbus protocol and the EVO Modbus Register set.


2 Protocols

2.2 DNP3 OverviewThe communications options support DNP3 Level 2. This implementation of DNP3 meets Level 2 conformance and supports change events with unsolicited messaging.

The DNP3 Level 2 protocol supports the following serial settings:

• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit




Refer to Section 5.0 for more details about the DNP3 protocol and the EVO DNP3 Point list.

3. HARDWARE



3 Hardware

3.1 Serial Communications Adapter The EVO can support up to three (3) Serial Communication Adapters. Each Serial Communications Adapter will support connections to either RS-232 or RS-485 networks. The Serial Adapter hardware must be confi gured correctly before connecting to the network.

3.1.1 Serial Communications Adapter Each Serial Adapter is confi gured independently and can be set up to connect to different network types.

Serial Communication Adapters can be plugged in to “PORT 1” (P10), “PORT 2” (P11), and/or “PORT 3” (P12) located along the left side of the Main Control Board. Both PORT 2 (P11) and PORT 3 (P12) will support DNP3 and Modbus protocols

To install a Serial Communications Adapter:• Open (turn off) both the AC Input (CB1) and DC Output (CB2)

circuit breakers.

• Wait for the charger voltage to ramp down (the display will go blank and all LEDs will be off).

• Open the charger front door.

• Locate the Serial Communication Adapter connection ports (P10, P11, & P12) along the left side of the Main Control Board attached to the door.

• Carefully slide the socket (P1) of the Serial Communications Adapter on to the pins of one of the connection ports (P10, P11,P12) of the Main Control Board (for Modbus or DNP3, use P11 or P12)

• You will need to hold the Serial Communications Adapter at an angle to clear the stand-off on the door.

• Once the Serial Communications Adapter socket is fully engaged on to the Main Control Board header pins, line up the hole on the Serial Connection Board with the plastic stand-off pin.

• Press down on the Serial Communications Adapter and the Main Control Board to lock them on to the stand-offs.

• Replace the ground connection on the bottom left hand side of the Main Control Board.

• Make note of which PORT (2 or 3 for Modbus or DNP3) you connect the Serial Communications Adapter to.

• Close the charger’s door.

• Close (turn on) the AC Input Breaker (CB1) and then close the DC Output Breaker (CB2).

• The Serial Communication Adapter hardware is now installed.

• Refer to the PORT SETUP instructions in the protocol section to assign a protocol to the Serial Communication Adapter and to confi gure the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, etc).

3.1.2 RS-232 RS-232 is a standard for serial transmission of data. The RS-232 standard was commonly used in computer serial ports for connections to modem, mice, and printers. RS-232 only permits two devices to be connected together, has a limited cable distance, and is susceptible to electrical noise.

3.1.3 3-Wire RS-232 Connections To confi gure the Serial Adapter for 3-Wire RS-232 connections:


3 Hardware

• P3, “MEDIA” must be set to “232”

• P6 and P7, “# WIRES” must be set to “4W”

• P2, “RXCTRL” must be set to “ON”

• P4 and P5, “485-TERM” must be set to “OFF”

To connect the Serial Adapter to the RS-232 network:

• Wire RXD (TB1-1) to the RS-232 network TXD

• Wire TXD (TB1-2) to the RS-232 network RXD

• Wire GND (TB1-5) to the RS-232 network COM



3 Hardware



• P2, “RXCTRL” must be set to “ON”

• P4 and P5, “485-TERM” must be set to “OFF”


• Wire RXD (TB1-1) to the RS-232 network TXD

• Wire TXD (TB1-2) to the RS-232 network RXD

• Wire CTS (TB1-3) to the RS-232 network RTS

• Wire RTS (TB1-4) to the RS-232 network CTS


3.1.5 RS-485 RS-485 is a standard defi ning electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems. RS-485 networks can be used effectively over long distances in electrically noisy industrial environments. Multiple devices may be connected to the same network.

Some RS-485 networks may require terminating resistors at both


3 Hardware

ends of the serial network. The decision of whether or not to use termination resistors should be based on the BAUD rate, the cable distance, and the type of cable being used to build the network. In most cases for BAUD rates less than 19.2K, terminating resistors are not required. If termination resistors are used, the network must be designed with the appropriate biasing resistors to ensure reliable communications.

The biasing resistors are responsible for ensuring that the network remains in the idle state when all drivers are tri-stated. In order to guarantee that the receivers remain in a known state, +/- 200mV must always be maintained across the (+) and (-) or (A) and (B) RS-485 inputs. The use of termination resistors requires a signifi cantly lower value of biasing resistors which results in greater dc loading of the network.

Network design and biasing resistor calculations depend on the number of nodes on the network, the type of drivers and receivers on the network, and any biasing already designed into other devices sharing the network. As a result, whether or not use termination resistors and biasing resistor calculation is beyond the scope of this manual. For more information on biasing and termination details see the following ref-erences:

1. EIA/TIA-485 StandardTelecommunication Industry Associationhttp://www.tiaonline.org/standards/catalog/

2. RS-422/RS-485 Application NoteCopyright: B&B Electronics http://www.bb-elec.com/tech_articles/rs422_485_app_note/table_of_contents.asp http://www.ATSeries.net/PDFs/RS422+485AppNote.pdf

The Serial Communication Adapter board has confi gurable 120 ohm termination resistors. Jumper P4 and P5 enables or disables the terminating resistors.


3 Hardware




• P2, “RXCTRL” must be set to “TXE”

• P4 and P5, “485-TERM” should be set to “OFF”

NOTE:If you want to utilize the on-board termination resistor located on the Serial Adapter, set “P5” to the “ON” position. Termination resistors should only be placed on the extreme ends of the network (2 de-vices only). In addition, the network must be biased correctly or the termination resistors may cause communication errors.


• Wire A- (TB1-1) to the RS-485 network A-

• Wire B+ (TB1-3) to the RS-485 network B+



3 Hardware

NOTE:P6 when set to “2W” connects TB1-1 to TB1-2. P7 when set to “2W” connects TB1-3 to TB1-4.

3.2.2 Ethernet Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LANs). Several variants of Ethernet are available and newer variants typically use copper twisted pair or fi ber optic links in conjunction with hubs or switch to form the network. Ethernet permits a large number of devices to be interconnected and allows the devices to communicate via multiple protocols concurrently.

3.2.3 Ethernet Connections The EVO can be connected to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network with a standard Ethernet RJ-45 cable. Plug one end of the cable into J1 of the Ethernet Adapter and the other end into an Ethernet hub, switch or directly into the SCADA master.

3.2.4 Optional Fiber Ethernet Interface Although Ethernet interfaces are standardized, several variants of Ethernet over fi ber exist. The variants are based on different data rates, fi ber type, wavelength, and connector types. At the time of the writing of this manual, over 75 know variants exist.

The EVO Optional Fiber Ethernet Interface can be confi gured to accommodate most if not all of these variants. Due to the vast number of the variants and the continuous additions of new ones, the specifi c offerings and capabilities needed to interface to your fi ber Ethernet network need to be verifi ed with your EVO distributer. Contact the supplier of your EVO for the latest information on the fi ber Ethernet interfaces supported.

Note 1: A Default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans.

Note 2:For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifi ers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with qualifi ers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifi ers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifi ers 00 or 01. (For change event objects, qualifi ers 17 or 28 are always responded except for object 70, which responds with qualifi er 1B or 5B.)

Note 3:For the EVO Communications Modules, a cold restart is implemented as a warm restart. The ex-ecutable is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

5.4.3 Analog Input Status Points The following table lists Analog Inputs (Object 30).

It is important to note that 16 bit and 32 bit variations of Analog Inputs, Analog Output Control Blocks, and Analog Output Statuses are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers. Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is 32767.

For each point, the “Multiplier” column indicates the value the point data is multiplied by. Since all data is sent in integer format, fl oating point numbers are multiplied by a constant (1, 10, or 100) to maintain the decimal information. For example, points with two decimal places are multiplied by 100 (5.67 is sent as 567), points with one decimal point of resolution are multiplied by 10 (8.2 is sent as 82). To convert the point data to the correct value, simply divide the point by the value listed in the ‘Multiplier’ column.


5 DNP3.0

The “Default Deadband” column is used to represent the absolute amount by which the point must change before an analog change event will be generated. The “Default Change Event Assigned Class” column is used to represent the class (1, 2, 3, or none) in which detected change events will be reported. Only the default values for these columns are documented here because the values may change in operation due to either local (user-interface) or remote (through DNP) confi guration control.

5.4.4 Analog Output Status Points The following table lists Analog Outputs (Object 40). The valid range for many of these points depends on the EVO model type (voltage and current rating). Refer to the EVO Operations and Service Manual to determine the valid ranges for these set points. It is important to note that 16 bit and 32 bit variations of Analog Inputs, Analog Output Control Blocks, and Analog Output Statuses are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers. Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is 32767.

For each point, the “Multiplier” column indicates the value the point data is multiplied by. Since all data is sent in integer format, fl oating point numbers are multiplied by a constant (1, 10, or 100) to maintain the decimal information. For example, points with two decimal places are multiplied by 100 (5.67 is sent as 567), points with one decimal point of resolution are multiplied by 10 (8.2 is sent as 82). To convert the point data read to the correct value, simply divide the point by the value listed in the ‘Multiplier’ column.

When writing a value to the Analog Output, you must multiply the desired value by the constant in the ‘Multiplier’. For example, if you want to change the ‘Float Voltage Set Point’ to 132 volts, you would need to write 1320 to Analog Output ‘0’ (132 X 10 = 1320). The ‘10’ is the multiplier constant listed in ‘Multiplier’ column for Analog Output Point ‘0’.

The ‘Valid Range’ column lists the possible values that can be successfully written to the associated Analog Output point. This is the true value and does not include the multiplier correction. Attempting to write values outside of this range will result in a DNP3 error response.

6.5 Modbus Input Registers The following table lists the Modbus Input Registers.

For each point, the “Multiplier” column indicates the value the register data is multiplied by. Since all data is sent in integer format, fl oating point numbers are multiplied by a constant (1, 10, or 100) to maintain the decimal information. For example, registers with two decimal places are multiplied by 100 (5.67 is sent as 567), resisters with one decimal point of resolution are multiplied by 10 (8.2 is sent as 82). To convert the register data to the correct value, simply divide the register value by the value listed in the ‘Multiplier’ column.

6.6 Modbus Holdings Registers The following table lists the Modbus Holding Registers.

For each point, the “Multiplier” column indicates the value the register data is multiplied by. Since all data is sent in integer format, fl oating point numbers are multiplied by a constant (1, 10, or 100) to maintain the decimal information. For example, registers with two decimal places are multiplied by 100 (5.67 is sent as 567), resisters with one decimal point of resolution are multiplied by 10 (8.2 is sent as 82). To convert the register data to the correct value, simply divide the register value by the value listed in the ‘Multiplier’ column.

When writing a value to a Holding Register, you must multiply the desired value by the constant in the ‘Multiplier’. For example, if you want to change the ‘Float Voltage Set Point’ to 132 volts, you would need to write 1320 to Holding Register ‘40001’ (132 X 10 = 1320). The ‘10’ is the multiplier constant listed in ‘Multiplier’ column for Holding Register ‘40001’.

The ‘Valid Range’ column lists the possible values that can be successfully written to the associated Holding Register. This is the true value and does not include the multiplier correction. Attempting to write values outside of this range will result in a Modbus error returned as an Exception Response.
