 WS2 Operator Interface Technical Manual /1

1. Overview
The WS2 is an operator interface and web server that can configure, display, and data log up to
256 process sensors on a desktop PC equipped with commonly available web browsers. No
additional software is required. Remote I/O to control machine running input signal can be
connected. In comparison to the previous generation of CMC web server the new generation
can show a real system which is set by user to fit to its needs.
Each machine in the real system can be represented by picture which will fit the real machine
the best. On the picture can be assigned all necessary sensors on their real position. This
allows user to see the system as real as possible. In case there is not suitable picture for some
machine, user can upload own suitable picture.
Up to four alarms for each display position can be entered. The Interface has both external
contact and e-mail alerts, and is provided in a din rail mount enclosure.
The Interface can service up to 8 CMCIEL mBC08x Bus Converters over an RS485 network.
Each Bus Converter can process 32 CMCIEL digital sensors. Bus Converters are available for
both Industrial/Commercial and Intrinsically Safe hazardous area environments. A complete
line of pre-packaged process sensors is available. The wiring system is fully specified and
includes field interconnect components. In addition to the web server, the Interface has a
Modbus TCP/IP Slave interface for connection to remote PLC and computer systems. Web
server also supports Ethernet IP Slave interface. Both, Modbus and Ethernet IP, work in
bidirectional way – web server can be controlled through the interfaces. This creates limitation
on number of units which can connect to the web server through the interfaces. The number of
units which can be connected is limited to 1.
The new generation of web server is able to record and maintain data from all sensors for
maximum of two years when system fully loaded (8 bus converters, each with 32 sensors).

Caution: This device contains electronic components that can be damaged by static discharge.
Proper ESD handling procedures should be observed at all times.

When power is disconnected from the web server, it will maintain certain level of power for
couple minutes. This is thanks to big capacitors installed on the input for the power supply.
These big capacitors are also a reason for a relatively big current (around 2 A) during startup.
Reason for such a behavior is to protect the database. Web server is constantly writing data into
its internal hard drive. In case there is a power outage and the web server would drop the power
immediately in the middle of record saving, the database will become corrupted. The capacitors
provide enough power for the web server to finish the record. Decreasing voltage on the
capacitors will create an interrupt which will cause the web server to finish the last record and
not to start a new one.
If the power is disconnected for some maintenance or installation reasons the web server
should be disconnected from the power for at least 5 minutes to let the capacitors fully
discharge. Otherwise it won’t start up. Unit should be always powered down before
disconnecting the power from it. To power the unit down all three buttons on the top side of the
web server have to be pressed down for at least 5 seconds. For more information see chapter 2
Description of Connections, Switches and Indicators, section Buttons.

On “Sensor Network View” page is summarization of condition on whole hazard monitoring
system. Status on all connected bus converters can be seen as well as all sensors connected to
the network. To see “Sensor Network View” page, click on “Sensor Network View” button.

4.7.1 Modbus Network Control

As described in section 3.4, bus converters can be connected to the two sets of 5 positions
connectors on the web server. Provided power for those connectors can be controlled so
user can control if the bus converters connected to the web server will be powered or not
(connected to the system or not) along with the whole sensor network. This can be done by
buttons “Start Sensor Network” and “Stop Sensor Network” on the top of the page. Indication
of active sensor network is red LED diode which is installed between those two connectors
on the web server. If the sensor network is activated the red LED will be on. Indication of
active sensor network on the interface is the field on the left side beside the bus converters
status fields. It is blue and shows “485 BUS ON” in case the network is activated and it is
grey and shows “485 BUS OFF” when the network is disabled.
4.7.2 Bus converter status
On the next section of the page are shown bus converters and their statuses. Status of bus
converter is shown in real time on each bus converters icon. When there is another status
than “online” the status will be written below number of bus converter and it will be blinking.
On following picture (Fig 20) is shown 8 bus converters, two online (3, 8), one in fault
condition (2) and 5 offline (1, 4, 5, 6, 7).
Following statuses of bus converter can be seen: Online; Offline; Bus Data Shorted Low; Bus
Data Shorted High; No Sensor Present; Bus Power Overload; Excessive Bus Error; Sensor
Bus Fault; Sensor Table Overflow; Unsupported Sensor Detected; In Acquire; RAM Fault;
Parameter Table Fault; Firmware Fault. For further information see manual for mBC081/83.

When clicked on the bus converter icon “Converter Sensor List” will be shown. These are all
the sensors which are physically connected to certain bus converter and the bus converter
acquired them. On the top of the window is field for searching sensors by serial ID. List can
be saved or emailed in CSV file.
On each sensor are shown following information:
 Converter – Bus converter number to which the sensor is connected
 # – Position of sensor in bus converter table
 Time – Shows date and time when last change on sensor was done (e.g. Sensor was
shifted in bus converter table)
 Serial ID – Serial number of sensors
 Machine – Machine to which is the sensor assigned to
 Position – Position on which the sensor is assigned
When clicked on “Converter status” link sensors read on all bus converters will be shown the
same way as it is described above for each bus converter. This will allow user to search for
physical location of sensors.
4.7.2.2 Number of Bus Converters

4.7.3 Assigned Sensor List

Assigned Sensor list is divided into five sections:
 Sensor Command
 Converter IO Binds
 Faulted Sensors
 List of Sensors
 Industrial Output Map
4.7.3.1 Sensor Commands
To be able to read all sensors which are connected to a bus converter the sensors have to
be acquired by the system. For this purpose is button “Sensor Command” in window
“Assigned Sensor list”.

Figure 22: Sensor Command Button

When clicked on the button, message with warning will appear. The reason for the message
is that there may be interruption on bus converters which are not acquired when there is
heavy data stream. This may cause some alarms to go off. For that reason is better to do
acquisition as less as possible.
After closing the message buttons for commands for bus converters will appear. There are
three commands which can be executed on each bus converter separately. Bus converter,
on which the command will be executed, is chosen by converter number from dropdown
menu.
 Acquire Sensors – scan sensor bus on chosen bus converter and save the sensors
into bus converter table. When “Acquire Sensors” button is hit it will discover and add
all new sensors on the bus into the table. In case there are less than 32 sensors, the
bus converter will keep the record of the old sensors. This makes the acquisition
process faster. In case there are 32 new sensors connected, the whole table will be
replaced.
Note: Current system supports one channel sensors only. This apply on vibration and
IR sensors only as they can read multiple values (PEAK and RMS for vibration;
AMBIENT and OBJECT for IR)

 Reset Converter – Soft reset of converter is an equivalent to power cycle. Can be

used when changing address switch on bus converter.
 Clear Converter – Clears out table of sensor in bus converter. There will be no record
of any sensor.
By the button “Acquire All Sensors” will be acquired all sensors which are connected to the
web server.

Figure 23: Bus Converters Commands

4.7.3.2 Converter IO Binds
When the grain elevator system uses pieces of equipment which can be either on or off
during normal operation, as tripper for example is, it is desirable that no alarms are triggered.
Trippers usually use generators to power up the HazMon system. So the bus converter and
all sensors connected to it will be offline when tripper is not running. In normal conditions this
will create alarms but in this case it would be false alarms. For this situation there is the
function of binding the bus converter which is on such equipment, to the Remote IO input.
This Remote IO input monitors the power for the particular equipment. If bus converter
bonded to certain Remote IO will go offline and Remote IO will also indicate that the
equipment is offline no alarms will be generated. Description of the setup is described below.
When clicked on the “Converter IO Binds” button window on Figure 24 will open. In the
window are two sections, one for creating of a new binding and second one is a list of
existing binds and for possible updates of them.

4.7.3.3 Faulted Sensors

In case there is an assigned sensor, which becomes faulted, it will be listed in the Faulted
Sensors list. The list contains following information, see picture below:
 Converter – on which bus converter the faulty sensor is
 Serial ID – what is the serial number of the sensor
 Time – what time did the fault appeared
 Machine – on which machine this sensor is assign to
 Position – what is the position of the sensor on the machine

Figure 27: Faulted Sensor Report

4.7.3.4 Sensors List
All sensors which are assigned to machine and position can be seen in the list on “Sensor
Network View” page, below “Faulted Sensors” list. By checking check box “Show Active
Only” it can be chosen if all sensors should be shown or only active ones. Sensor list can be
emailed or saved as CSV file.
Another function on Sensors list is “Check Missing Sensors”. To fully understand this
function please see Acquire Sensors section above. In case some sensor is removed from
working network, this sensor will be reported in “Faulted Sensors” as described in section
4.8.3.2. The second case is when sensor is assigned to a machine but there is no record of
the sensor in bus converter table. This problem will be reported eventually during repeated
automatic checks as on picture below. This check can take up to 90 seconds, for that reason
is there “Check Missing Sensors” button which will make this discovery immediately.

 PLC – CMC web server can communicate with PLC using the Modbus/TCP protocol.
The configuration of the memory with 16 bit registers is described in appendix 3. For
sensors is allocated 512 of these registers. For each sensor two. One for value and
one for status of each sensor. This make in total maximum of 256 positions for
sensors which can be connected to the system. To be able to access the data and
read it by PLC using the Modbus/TCP protocol, each sensor has to be allocated to
one of those positions. To do so PLC register has to be chosen for each sensor to be
able to access it from PLC. For this purpose is there PLC register number.
When this number is set to 1, the sensor will be read on registers 40001 for value and
40002 for status. For further information on this topic see appendix 3.

4.9 Reports
There are three options of reports which can be shown:
 Display charts
 Display tables
 Display events
As mentioned in the overview the web server is able to keep record of data for all sensors up
to 2 years. These records are created in SQL format and are not that easily accessible. It can
take up to couple hours to download 2 years database records. For this reason are here
these reports which gives user the opportunity to access recent data quicker and easier.
4.9.1 Display Chart
On Display Chart window can be easily picked up to 5 sensors which will be shown in chart.
Sensors can be picked only from one machine at the time.
To access display chart menu click Report -> Display Chart as on following picture.

Figure 31: Display Chart Access

First machine from which the sensors will be selected has to be picked. This can be done
through “Select Machine” drop down menu.
When machine is selected the time frame has to be chosen. As mentioned, in the window
maximum time frame can be 72 hours. Most of the time the interval can be bigger but can’t
exceed 15000 records, which is approximately 72 hours. When selecting the time frame
always choose first the “Time From” and then the “Time To”. The reason for this is that
always when you choose “Time From”, it automatically fills out the “Time To” by adding one
extra hour from “Time From”. The reason for this is to avoid time frames larger than the
mentioned 72 hours.
When time frame is selected in drop down menu “Select Positions (up to 5):” can be picked 5
sensors which can be drawn on the graph. Each sensor will be represented in order by
customized colors on the right hand side. First selected sensor in order in the dropdown
menu will have color picked in “Line Color 1:” and so on.
When sensors, time frame and machine are selected “Draw” button can be pressed to draw
graph from selected items. When the button was pressed graph should be drawn as it is on
the example graph below. In case nothing will appear on the graph it means that there is no
data to show or that the time frame was exceeded. In case the time frame was exceeded the
window will have to be refreshed to make it work again.

When machine and sensor are selected the time frame has to be chosen. Same rule as for
Display Chart works for Display Table as well. The maximum time frame can be 72 hours.
Most of the time the interval can be bigger but can’t exceed 15000 records, which is
approximately 72 hours. When selecting the time frame always choose first the “Time From”
and then the “Time To”. The reason for this is that always when you choose “Time From”, it
automatically fills out the “Time To” by adding one extra hour from “Time From”. The reason
for this is to avoid time frames larger than the mentioned 72 hours.
When sensors, time frame and machine are selected “Build Table” button can be pressed to
build the data table from selected items.
When table is built it can be emailed or saved as CSV file by clicking on “Save To CSV” or
“E-Mail”.
Amount of data can be reduced when “Show Only Alerts” checkbox is checked. In that case
alerts record will be showing only. When it is not checked it is showing logged data.

4.9.2 Display Events

On Display Events window user can easily choose one sensor from the system and show all
events in chosen time frame. Only one sensor table can be shown at the time.
To access display chart menu click Report -> Display Events as on following picture.

Figure 37: Display Events Access

First machine from which the sensor will be selected has to be picked. This can be done
through “Select Machine:” drop down menu.
When machine is selected in next drop down menu “Select Position:” can be picked sensor
which the data table will be built from.
When machine and sensor are selected the time frame has to be chosen. Same rule as for
Display Chart and Table works for Display Events as well. The maximum time frame can be
72 hours. Most of the time the interval can be bigger but can’t exceed 15000 records, which
is approximately 72 hours. When selecting the time frame always choose first the “Time
From” and then the “Time To”. The reason for this is that always when you choose “Time
From”, it automatically fills out the “Time To” by adding one extra hour from “Time From”. The
reason for this is to avoid time frames larger than the mentioned 72 hours.
When sensors, time frame and machine are defined Events which are going to be shown has
to be selected. These events can be chosen from the drop down menu “Select Event(s):”.
When the events are selected “Build Table” button can be pressed to build the data table
from selected items. In the built table are shown sensors which had the selected events only.
In case no events and no sensors were selected table will be built from all sensors with any
events in selected time frame.
When table is built it can be emailed or saved as CSV file by clicking on “Save To CSV” or
“E-Mail”.
This table doesn’t show all events which happened in certain times. The table shows all
types of events which happened within one hour. In case there was same type of event
repeatedly it will be shown only once. Reason behind this is that there can be huge amount
of data which wouldn’t be easy to access. This report simplifies the record and gives simple
overview of what is happening on the network in range of hours.
In built data table are following information:
Time: time span when events recorded
Machine: machine to which the recorded sensor is assigned to

Positions

Figure 41: Machine Configuration – Positions Part

The purpose of “Sensor Network View” button in position section is to have a quick access to
sensor acquisition commands and also for testing purposes. When assigning sensors to certain
positions the sensor which should be assigned may be missing. The reason for that might be
that this sensor is new and wasn’t acquired yet. By the “Sensor Network View” button this can
be done very quickly.
Another reason for “Sensor Network View” button is the ability to see if the assigned sensor is
read correctly and is not in “Faulted Sensors” list. So this can verify the right functionality right
away. The same thing applies also for Missing Sensors check. If there is an assigned sensor on
the machine but this sensor is not read on any bus converter it can be verified in sensor list. For
further information on Missing Sensor check see section 4.7.3.3. Sensors List.
As it was already mentioned new type of machine can be created to fit exact needs of the user.
In this case when Conveyor was chosen, on the machine are 4 bearing sensors, 4 rub block
sensors and 1 speed sensor by default.
Following information is in the table:
 # – Sensor order number on the machine. On each newly created machine type, the
order can be different based on user’s needs. Each order number also works as sensor
setup button, description below in section # Sensor Order Number
 Position – Position shows where on the machine the sensors are placed. This position
can be changed when creating new machine type.
 Units – Units in which the sensor is presented
 Sensor Type – Defines which type of sensor from the whole scale of CMC sensors is
presented on that position
 Sensor ID – Serial number of presented sensor on this position
 Reference ID – Serial number of reference senor bonded to the sensor presented on
that position
 Threshold – In this column is active button for Threshold setup on the particular sensor.
Description of this function is described in section Alert Threshold Configuration
 PLC Register – CMC web server can communicate with PLC using the Modbus/TCP
protocol. The configuration of the memory with 16 bit registers is described in appendix
1. For sensors is allocated 512 of these registers. For each sensor two. One for value
and one for status of each sensor. This make in total maximum of 256 positions for

 WS2 Operator Interface Technical Manual /42

sensors which can be connected to the system. To be able to access the data and read
it by PLC using the Modbus/TCP protocol, each sensor has to be allocated to one of
those positions. To do so, PLC register has to be chosen for each sensor to be able to
access it from PLC. For this purpose is there PLC register number.
When this number is set to 1, the sensor will be read on registers 40001 for value and
40002 for status and so on. For further information on this topic see appendix 1
 Active – This column displays if the sensor is active or inactive, active sensors will be
displayed on the machine views
 Running Input – If there is a Remote IO connected, one of the inputs can be assigned to
each sensor (can also be assigned to whole machine) as a running input. The main
purpose for this functionality is that some of the alarms on certain sensors or machines
can be suppressed in case that machine is not running (running input is not on).
4.10.1.2 # Sensor Order Number (Position Configuration)

Figure 42: Sensor Order Number (Position Configuration) button

When clicked on “Sensor Order Number” button “Position Configuration” window will open. This
window is divided into 4 sections:
1. Position

Figure 43: Position Configuration – Position

In position section are following fields:
 Name – here is assigned name for particular sensor position which will be shown on the
particular machine.
 Description – any custom description for the sensor.
 Active – this checkbox will define if the sensor will be shown on dashboard.
 PLC register – PLC register will define on which register the sensor can be read from on
another device using the Modbus/TCP protocol, see PLC register description above.
 Log – by this checkbox is defined if data on the sensor will be logged for further
presentation in graphs and reports described above. This doesn’t affect data which are
recorded in data base.

2. Sensors
In Sensors section are following fields:
 Sensor Type – type of sensor which was assigned to this position when Machine Type
was created
 Search – Serial number can be searched in the list of unassigned sensors
 Serial ID – If clicked on the drop down Serial ID menu all sensors which are not assigned
to any position will appear. I case all sensors were used there will be shown none.
 Reference – Reference checkbox has to be checked in case user wants to have the
reference sensor activated. This field assign the reference sensor only and do not set
any thresholds to compare the sensor and reference sensors value, this is set in the
“Threshold“ section.
 Search – Serial numbers can be searched in the list of all connected sensors
 Reference ID – ID of sensors which will be taken as a reference for the sensor chosen in
“Serial ID” field
3. IO Terminal Bind
In IO Terminal Bind are following fields:
 Remote IO – Same thing as on the whole machine can be done for each sensor. To
each sensor can be bond one input from the remote IO. This function will mostly be used
to disable alarms on the sensor in case that particular input is off. For example no alarm
on rotation sensor is triggered in case that machine is not running.
 Input# – Number of input which will be bonded to the sensor
4. Measurement Unit and Conversion
For each type (family code) of sensor are set default values for span and offset. In case
default units are chosen no modification of span and offset is not necessary. Each provides
reading of raw data. The raw data is automatically modified to be read in proper units, this is
all done automatically when default units for each type of sensor are chosen. In case
customer requires modification of data, custom units can be chosen and span and offset can
be adjusted to meet the desired needs. To see the default span and offset for each type of
sensor see section 4.10.3 Machine Type. For further understanding read the following
sections.
 Units – Units in which the sensor value will be presented. For each sensor type can be
chosen defaults units. For example for temperature sensor can be as default chosen F
(Fahrenheit) and C (Celsius).
 Custom Unit – When user chooses to use custom units in “Units” part, here is where the
desired units can be assigned. Note that if custom units are chosen Span and Offset has
to be set.
 Span – Span is basically number which defines conversion between raw value which is
read from sensor and value which will be displayed on the screen. Raw value is
multiplied by the span number.

For value displayed in °C the span has to be 0.0625

For value displayed in °F the span has to be 0.1125
 Offset – Offset is a number which is added to the raw value to set it to the right position.
Temperature Sensors Span Example
For value displayed in °C the span has to be 0
For value displayed in °F the span has to be -32
 Decimals – Number of digits after the decimal point which should be displayed

Figure 46: Position Configuration – Position

In threshold section are following fields:
Alarms and Warnings:
 Notification – Type of alarm/warning.
 Enabled – Any type of alarm/warning can be enabled/disabled by checkbox in this
column.
 Set Point – For each type of alarm/warning on each sensor can be set a threshold.
When this threshold value is reached the alarms will be triggered. For high alarm and
high warning the value needs to be same or higher than threshold to trigger the
alarm/warning. For low alarm and low warning the value needs to be lower than the
threshold. Value in this filed is in units which are assigned in information section. The
section above.
 Enable Referred – In case referred sensor is assigned to the selected sensor, referred
alarms and warnings can be enabled/disabled by the check box in this column. When
referred alarms/warnings are enabled they will be triggered in case that the difference
between the sensor and referred sensor will exceed the value set in “Set Point Referred”
field. In case Referred high alarm is enabled, it will be triggered when the value of the
selected sensor will be higher by “Set Point Referred” value.
 Set Point Referred – As is described above the “Set Point Referred” sets when referred
alarm will be triggered. The referred alarms/warnings are set when difference between
selected and referenced sensor is equal or exceed the value in “Set Point Referred”
field. For high alarm and warning the selected sensor value has to be higher that the
reference sensor value. For the low alarm and warning the selected sensor value has to
be lower than reference sensor value.
 E-mail – In case E-mail checkbox is checked for certain alarm email about this alarm will
be sent to the user whose email is set in the 4.10.4.1 User Configuration
Trigger Invert/Hysteresis/Delay
 Invert Trigger – This function is related to the alarms and will be explained on example:
On selected sensor is High alarm set to 50 RPM and Low alarm is set to 30 RPM. “Invert
trigger” is activated/checked. The machine is running in opposite direction and the read
value will be -45 RPM, no alarm will be triggered. Then the read value changes to -25

www.cmciel.com [email protected]
 WS2 Operator Interface Technical Manual /46

RPM, Low alarm will be triggered. If the value went to -55 High alarm would be
activated. In case “Invert trigger” was not activated/checked Low alarm would be
activated for any of those read values.
This function is related only to the primary sensors and doesn’t have any effect on
reference sensors. Reference sensors are always related to the actual value of the
primary and reference sensor.
 Hysteresis – Hysteresis check box enables hysteresis for the primary sensor. If
threshold value is crossed it has to go further by the hysteresis value to make the alarm
to be triggered. The same is applied for the opposite direction. When alarm is triggered
and read value crosses the threshold it won’t cancel the alarm. The value has to go
below the threshold by the hysteresis value to be canceled.
This function is related to the primary sensor only and doesn’t affect the reference
sensor.
 Delay On/Off – Each alarm and warning can be delayed. If the read value of the sensor
crosses the threshold the alarm/warning will be delayed by the value in “Delay On” filed,
in seconds. The same will be for the opposite direction threshold crossing and time in
“Delay Off” filed will be applied.
Rate of Rise:
 Rate of Rise is functionality which allows user to monitor quick changes of sensor
values. Two parameters can be set on each sensor to monitor it. First is Rise value and
the second one is Time.
For example: Rise = 20; Time =10 s.
In case that value of sensor rises by 21 in 10 or less seconds the alarm will be triggered.
 Enable – By enable check box this function can be enable/disable on each sensor
 E-mail – In case E-mail checkbox is checked for certain alarm email about this alarm will
be sent to the user whose email is set 4.10.4.1 User Configuration

will appear.

Figure 67: Alert Testing Window

4.10.5.1 Alarm and Horn Test
As it was mentioned in section 3.2 the web server has two dry contacts. One is for Alarm
signal and second one for Horn. By the Alarm and Horn test the right functionality of the
system can be checked. This can also be checked by buttons, see section 2 Description of
Connections, Switches and Indicators in part for Buttons.
Note: The Alarm and Horn contact test from the interface can be done only if the sensor
network is on.
4.10.5.2 Sensor Position Test
On each sensor which is assigned to a machine can be simulated any value. By this feature
can be easily tested functionality of a system like alarms, output control, etc.
To select which sensor should be simulated, following steps needs to be done. From “Select
Machine” dropdown menu choose machine to which the sensor is assigned to and from
“Select Position” choose sensor which should be simulated, Fig 64.
The simulated value can be forced into the sensor itself or to the reference sensor which is
assigned to the selected sensor or on both. This can be chosen by checkboxes “Force for
Primary” and “Force for Reference”.
The last two fields on the Sensor position test are for the desired value which should be
forced to the selected sensor and time for how long this value should be on that sensor for.
When the sensor is selected and value is set, start button can be pressed to start the
simulation. When the simulation starts the progress of this test will be shown in the Test
Progress list shown on Fig 65. In the list will be shown on which machine and what position
the simulated sensor is, what value is forced to the sensor and what is the reference sensor.

4.10.8 Export Import

Web server machine settings can be exported into csv format file which can be used as a back-
up file for the same web server or as a copy of the existing web server setup to be uploaded to
another web server.
Differently than on previous generation of CMC (mOI215) web server the host data is not
exported. The only data exported are data about the machines and their sensors, remote IO
setting, users and the system setup.
Web server can import data from the previous generation of CMC web server.
4.10.8.1 Export Settings
To export machine data from the web server go to Configuration -> Export – Import and then
click on the “Export Settings” button marked in red frame on Fig 81. The file can be sent directly
to the user’s email by clicking on “E-Mail” in the blue frame on Fig 81. The structure of the file is
described in section TBD

4.10.8.3 Import from WS1 (mOI215)
As previously mentioned the WS2 web server can accommodate data from the previous
generation of CMC web server mOI215. The fashion of these two webservers is very different
and the way how WS2 will interpret the data from the WS1 was determined as follows. The
WS1 has 8 groups (tabs) where sensors can be assigned. The WS2 assumes that each group
represents one machine even though it is not necessarily always the truth but it was the only
way which the structure could be drawn upon. The WS1 can have sensors from one machine
assigned to all 8 groups, it is completely flexible and it always depends on the user how the
structure will be done. For this reason this feature should be use with caution and the right setup
on the WS2 should be verified.
On following example was used setup which had used all 8 tabs called M1-M8, see Fig 85.
Each tab had certain number of sensors and some sensors were assigned to multiple positions.
The machine M1 has assigned 13 positions using 9 sensors. Position TEMP1, 10 and 32 have
the same senor 40-0-0-3-1-24-19-46 assigned, TEMP2 and 31 has the same sensor 40-0-0-6-
21-126-36-211 assigned and TEMP3, 30 has the same sensor 40-0-0-6-21-131-159-102
assigned.
The tabs M2-M8 has random sensors assigned and this document will not focus on the sensors
from those groups.
Setup from the WS1 was acquired by using AegisX.jar application which created csv file which
can be uploaded into the WS2 web server.

When clicked on the “Upload and Insert Settings” button, the web server will take couple
moments to do the upload. When it is done the “Upload and Insert Settings” button will become
inactive again and import results will be listed below as is on Fig 89. The import result will show
all setting steps (entries) which were. As it is shown on Fig 89 there were sensors which were
assigned to more than one position which is restricted on the new web server. For this reason
some of the sensors are crossed out and marked red and no serial number was assigned to that
position. In the report is shown that machine name is M1 and assigned positions are 1-13. But
the PLC registers assigned are 1-10 and then 30-32 to match the register setup in WS1.

Figure 89: Import Results after Importing File Generated by WS1

On dashboard of the web server will then be the new machines M1-M8 plus all machines which
already existed on the web server before as is shown on Fig 90.

Figure 90: Dashboard with Imported Machines from WS1

On Fig 91 is shown how the machine configuration will look like. All positions are named exactly
as it was on WS1 with their serial numbers. Positions of sensors on the picture are in rows and
columns by default and can be changed by dragging them by edge to desired position. Default
picture is CMC logo and that picture can be also changed.

233 This register indicates the internal status of the converter and the
sensor bus. A set bit indicates a fault. The fault assigned to each bit is
as follows:
5-7 Not Used
4 Excessive bus During a serial number acquisition, the
errors converter detected excessive bus errors.
This condition would indicate faulty
sensor bus cabling, or excessive electrical
interference on the sensor data bus.
3 Bus power overload The 5VDC wire is shorted to the common
wire.
2 No Sensors present No sensors are present on the sensor
bus, or the sensor bus data wire is open.
1 Bus data shorted The data wire is shorted to the 5VDC
high wire.
0 Bus data shorted The sensor bus data wire is shorted to the
low common wire.
12-15 Not Used
11 In acquire A sensor acquisition is in progress.
10 Unsupported Sensor A sensor was detected on the sensor bus
detected that is not supported by this converter.
9 Sensor table More than 32 sensors were detected
overflow during a sensor serial number acquisition.
8 Sensor bus fault A sensor bus fault is present as indicated
by bits 0 – 4.
234- Bus Converter Status Registers for Bus Converters 2-8 N/A
247 The structure of the data is the same as for bus converter #1 described
in registers 232 and 233.
248- Sensor Status Bus Converter 1 N/A
251 Each bit of these registers represents a single sensor. If the bit is set the
sensor is faulted and not available. If the bit is clear sensor is online. Bit
0 of register 248 represents 1st sensor and Bit 7 of register 251
represents 32nd sensor 32. It corresponds with the Converter Sensor
List.
