 1 Introduction

The Alert I/O system can be controlled by the Series 200 system by replacing
the I/O control rack1, PRICO in Alert 500, or the control system rack in
Alert 5/ Alert 50 by the Series 200. The Communication Interface Alert 200-
BIAL, which is placed in the Series 200 central system, connects this system
with the Alert I/O system. Each 200-BIAL handles 2 Alert I/O racks, i.e. two
such units can, for example, handle the four racks in an Alert 500 PRI cabinet.
Each I/O rack can handle 64 I/O signals.
Communication Interface Ethernet, 200-CIE, can be used for communication
with a supervisory system.
An Alert upgrade kit is available to facilitate the mounting of the Series 200
system into an Alert I/O cabinet, see "Install with the Alert upgrade kit", on
page 11.

 2 Install with the Alert upgrade kit

The Alert upgrade kit facilitates mounting of the Series 200 system into an
Alert I/O system cabinet. The Series 200 system can thereby control the I/O
system in the cabinet. The upgrade kit provides 6 free locations which can be
equipped with the various Series 200 Central system units. For installation
information refer to the manual ”Series 200 Central System, Installation and
Maintenance”.
The Alert control rack is replaced by the new rack (the upgrade kit) housing
the Series 200 Central System units. The Alert control rack power supply is
removed and mounted in the new rack. A 24 V DC supply in the new rack
provides the Series 200 Central system units with power.
Important! It is very important that the Series 200 Central system is powered
from the 24 V DC power supply in the new rack.
For communication with all four I/O racks in a cabinet, two 200-BIAL units
are needed. Thus, if only two racks are to be used, only one 200-BIAL unit is
needed. The 200-BIAL units are placed in the rightmost Backplane unit
locations.

Information: No Central system units are included.

2.1 Installation steps

1. Disconnect and remove the Alert control rack from the I/O cabinet. Mark
the cables before disconnecting them.
2. Insert the upgrade rack.
3. Connect the mains wires which were connected to X1 on the Alert power
supply to the connector X1B (see Fig. 2-2).
4. Remove the power supply from the Alert rack and install it into the new
rack. Do not forget to fasten it using the front screws.
5. Connect cable 2 to X2. If any cable was connected to X2 on the Alert
power supply, connect it to the connector X2B (see Fig. 2-2).
6. If any cable was connected to X3, leave it connected.
7. Secure the ribbon I/O bus cables using the clips to the right (seen from
the front side) of the Series 200 mounting plate. Make sure that the rib-
bon cables are stacked in the right order.
8. Connect the mains power cable to the Alert power supply (X1) using
”cable 1” supplied with the upgrading kit (see Fig. 2-2).

13. Install the Series 200-CIE drop cable mountkit and the Ethernet Tran-
ceiver as follows:
A. Attach the mounting plate to the DIN-rail located on the inside to the
left in the rack (see page 11).
B. Fasten the tranceiver to the mounting plate, using the two bundle ties
(straps).
C. Connect the cable to the tranceiver and lock the connector.
D. Attach the uninsulated part of the cable to the grounding device
located to the right in the rack (see page 11).
Note! The grounding device, 200-GDS from the 200-CIE drop cable
mountkit, is not used here.
E. Connect the cable to the AUI-port on the 200-CIE and to the
tranceiver. Lock the connector.
14. Mount the front plate.

 3 Configuring and addressing the I/O

3.1 Alert I/O configuring

SattCon 200 control system
The Alert I/O system is configured using the Hardware configuration editor in
DOX 10. The procedure is similar to that for any other I/O board connected
to the Series 200 system – see ”Hardware configuration editor” in the DOX 10
User’s manual, SattCon 200 part.
Information: All the Alert I/O boards have the prefix ”AL” in the ”Add unit”
list of the Hardware configuration editor.
Example: The IACDC board is named ALIACDC in the list.
To set up Alert analogue signals
The setup for analogue signals in the Alert I/O is similar to the setup for
Series 200, but there are some small distinctions.
The Alert analogue boards have the range 0–20 mA or 0–5 V (hardware
settings), but by selecting appropriate settings in the DOX 10 Hardware
configuration editor, 4–20 mA and 1–5 V ranges also become available.

Signal range Hardware settings Hardware configuration set-up

0–20 mA Current 0–20 mA

4–20 mA Current 4–20 mA
0–5 V Voltage 0–20 mA
1–5 V Voltage 4–20 mA

• Important! For Alert I/O boards, do not use the following available selec-
tions in the Hardware configuration editor: <3>: 0–10 V and <4>: +/– 10 V.

SattLine control system SL200

Configuration of the I/O is described in the SattLine manual ”I/O and
Communication”. Refer to section ”Alert I/O” in this SattLine manual.

 Configuring and addressing the I/O

3.2 Addressing format

The Alert I/O system connected to Series 200 system uses the following
addressing format: a.b.c.d, where
a = 200-BIAL unit number on the central system bus (NNbus)
b = Flat cable connector number (1 or 2)
c = Alert I/O board number (1–8)
d = I/O number on the Alert I/O board (1–8)
The figure below shows some addressing format examples.

SattCon 200 address table

The bit and word address table below is interesting for SattCon 200
programmers. The table shows how to address the I/O signals.
The board address is denoted ”u” in the tables below. ”u” corresponds to
”a.b.c” in "Addressing format", on page 16.

ALARM-D restrictions
Alert I/O signals cannot be connected directly to the function blocks TEXT-D
and ALARM-D. If an Alert I/O signal is requested to start a text print out, then
the connection to the function block must be done indirectly via a memory
cell, see example below.

200-BIAL

200-BIAL is a communication interface for the ABB Automation Products

Alert I/O system.
It controls two Alert system I/O racks, hence two 200-BIAL units can control
all four I/O racks mounted in an I/O cabinet.

4.3 Alert upgrading kit

The 200-BIAL unit is installed using an ”Alert upgrade kit” for the Alert sys-
tem (see chapter "Install with the Alert upgrade kit", on page 11). The Alert
control rack is then replaced by the kit.

493-0973-11 (1-3) 19
 Communication Interface Alert 200-BIAL

To meet the EMC requirements the ferrite clamps supplied are mounted on the
ribbon cables close to the front. Use one ferrite clamp for each 200-BIAL, see
figure "Ferrite clamps", on page 13.

4.4 Functional description

200-BIAL interfaces to the Central Processing Unit via the Central system bus
(NNbus) and to the Alert I/O system using two ribbon cable connectors in the
front of the unit.
The signals from the NNbus interface are converted and level adjusted to
match the Alert I/O bus signals.
The 200-BIAL unit takes care of the speed differences between the two sys-
tems.
The 200-BIAL unit is to be supplied (via the screw terminal block) with
12 V DC from e.g. the power supply earlier used by the Alert system control
rack. The power supply input is overvoltage protected.
The logic power supply part of 200-BIAL takes its power from the system bus
and generates the required internal voltage (+5 V).
The LED indicator in the front of the unit shows the internal power status.
