Hardware Configuration of Advantys Islands

At a Glance

The first phase of implementation consists of configuring the hardware for the CANopen slaves. Once you have assembled the different elements of the STBs previously described and connected the power supplies, you must follow the steps below.

How to Set Transmission Speed

In this example, we will see how to configure transmission speed of 250 Kbit/s for each STB.

Step	Action
1	Switch the first STB off.
2	Set the top switch to 4. Note: 0 = 10 Kbits/s, 1 = 20 Kbits/s, 2 = 50 Kbits/s, 3 = 125 Kbits/s, 4 = 250 Kbits/s, 5 = 500 Kbits/s, 6 = 800 Kbits/s and 7 = 1bits/s.
3	Set the bottom switch to "Baud rate" (position greater than 9).
4	Switch the STB on. Result: the STB is configured to work at a speed of 250 Kbit/s.
5	Repeat the same steps for the second STB.

How to Set the CANopen address of the STB

In this second example, we will see how to configure the address of each STB (2 for the first and 3 for the second).

Step	Action
1	Switch the STB off.
2	Set the top switch to 0 (tens figure).
3	Set the bottom switch to 2 (units figure). Note: For the second STB, select 3.
4	Switch the STB on. Result: the STB is configured with the address defined on the switches.

How to Load the STB Configuration

In this example, we will see how to load a configuration into an STB using automatic transmission without a SIM card.

Step	Action
1	Check that the STB is powered-up.
2	Remove the SIM card if one is present.
3	Press the Reset button for more then 5 seconds. Result: the STB carries out its start-up and initialization procedure, the hardware configuration is scanned (STB modules), then stored in flash memory. Note: If the SIM card is present, the STB tries to load the configuration it contains; if the SIM card is not present, the STB tries to load the configuration contained in flash memory. Pressing the Reset button allows flash memory to be updated with the physical configuration actually present. You must always carry out an initialization when the configuration has changed or when you do not know what flash memory contains.

How to Carry Out a Visual Check

The STBs are ready to dialog with a CANopen TSX CPP 110 card, and a last check must be carried out:

Step	Action
1	Make sure that the RUN and PWR LEDs of the CANopen module (NCO) are lit up.
2	Make sure that the CANRUN LED of the CANopen module (NCO) is flashing.
3	Make sure that the IN and OUT LEDs of the power supply module (PDT) are lit up.
4	Make sure that the RDY LED of the I/O modules is lit up for each I/O module. Result: the visual diagnostics performed with the help of the LEDs allows us to conclude that the STBs have been correctly configured and are ready to be implemented on a CANopen bus.

Configuration Fault

When the configuration present in flash memory is different from the actual configuration (physical configuration), the LEDs:

Of the CANopen module (NCO) RUN and PWR are lit up, the CANRUN green LED flashes, and the ERR and CANERR red LEDS flash.
Of the power supply module (PDT) IN and OUT are lit up.
Of the I/O modules RDY and OUT are flashing for each module that is not present in the flash memory configuration and are permanently lit for the others.

Module Fault

Certain modules cans display faulty situations (for example, absence of output power supply on a DDO3230 module). In this case, RDY is lit up and ERR flashes on the faulty module.
