Chapter 4: Power Supply Chapter 4: POWER SUPPLY & BATTERY BACKUP Power REQUIREMENTS The SCADA 3000 is designed to be powered from a 10-15V DC power supply (15V required to charge an external battery). This wide operating voltage range permits the unit to be powered from 12V solar cells in truly remote applications.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual GROUNDING AND POWER SURGE PROTECTION SCADA 3000 should be earth grounded by connecting a true earth ground to the terminal labeled EG. This is essential to protect SCADA 3000 from possible damage due to static electricity, power surges and lightning strikes. The Sensaphone® SCADA 3000 can be damaged by power surges and lightning through the telephone line and the power supply.
Chapter 4: Power Supply Compute the Total Power by multiplying the Total Current by the Supply Voltage TOTAL POWER (watts) = 15V x Total Current = _____________(Watts) •This Watt rating is the average power that the system will consume during normal operation; however, during startup the power is significantly greater. *The 24V supply on the CPU and modules may be used to power 4-20mA transducers; be sure to account for these in your calculation by entering the number of transducers connected.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual In this example, a battery with a capacity of at least 15.6 AH is required to provide 12 hours of backup time. Note that actual backup time will vary somewhat depending on temperature, battery age, and dialing activity. The battery connects to the terminals labeled BAT + and - on the SCADA 3000. (See Figure 2 below) Note: Only connect the battery while the Power Switch is OFF.
Chapter 4: Power Supply Figure 3: Solar Power wiring The SCADA 3000 requires 10–15 Volts DC to operate. There are many 12V solar panels available which will meet this requirement. Current consumption will depend on installed options such as: voice/modem boards, I/O modules, radio/modem or cellular phone. The batteries are usually similar to automobile or marine type batteries. Many solar panel dealers also carry chargers and batteries and can assist in selecting a matching component system.

Chapter 5: Input Wiring Chapter 5: INPUT WIRING & CONFIGURATION The SCADA 3000 is compatible with a wide variety of electrical signal sources including contacts, 10K thermistors, analog voltage outputs and 4–20mA current sources. Each type of signal requires the configuration jumpers, located behind the input terminal strip, to be installed in the proper position for each type of signal. Follow the instructions below to properly wire and configure the inputs for each type of electrical signal.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Figure 1: Removing terminal blocks Input Configuration Correct Jumper Positioning It is extremely important that you position the jumpers correctly on the SCADA 3000. The input jumpers are located directly behind the Input terminal strip. There is one jumper for each input (16 total). Note that each jumper connects four pins. If you look closely at the jumpers, you will note that each one reveals two thin metal strips.
Chapter 5: Input Wiring Figure 3: Wiring a Dry Contact Sensor The shunt set to the TMP/DRY position is reflected in the following circuit diagram. Figure 4: TMP/DRY Circuit 1OK Thermistors The SCADA 3000 is compatible with 10K thermistors that match the curve data listed in the tables in Appendix C. The monitoring temperature range of the 10K thermistor is -80 to 300ºF (-62º to 149ºC). Thermistors can be connected directly to the input terminals without regard for polarity.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Figure 5: Wiring a Thermistor Analog Voltage Output Transducers (0–5VDC) The SCADA 3000 is compatible with transducers that produce an analog output of 0 to 5VDC. Analog voltage output devices can be connected directly to the input terminals but be sure to follow the polarity markings on the unit. Choose an input and connect the wires to the corresponding screw terminals for that input.
Chapter 5: Input Wiring Figure 7: 0-5V Circuit diagram 4–20mA Current Loop Transducers The inputs on the SCADA 3000 are compatible with transducers that produce an analog output current of 4 to 20mA. Analog 4–20mA output devices sometimes require a 24VDC power supply to operate. The SCADA 3000 provides a built-in 24VDC power supply for this purpose. The 24VDC power supply has enough capacity to power up to sixteen 4–20mA devices. Follow the wiring diagrams below for connecting a 4–20mA device.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual If, for any reason, you choose to utilize a separate power supply, your wiring configuration from the SCADA 3000 should look like the following diagram: Figure 10: Wiring a 4–20mA device using an external 24 VDC supply. Connect powered 4–20mA devices according to the diagram below.
Chapter 6: Output Wiring Chapter 6: OUTPUT WIRING The SCADA 3000 provides eight latching relay outputs that can be used to switch equipment on and off. The relays are capable of switching up to 2A at 125VAC and have integral contact protection. They may be controlled manually while on-line using the SCADA 3000 package, or automatically via a ladder program or C-program. LED indicators are provided to show the ON/OFF status of each relay output.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual The terminal blocks for wiring the outputs (and inputs) are removable. They should only be removed or attached when power to the SCADA 3000 is OFF. If for instance you had to return your SCADA 3000 for service, you could remove the terminal blocks in order to maintain your current wiring configuration. To remove terminal blocks use your thumb or forefinger to push the screw section of the block straight out. (See figure below).
Chapter 7: I/O Expansion Modules Chapter 7: I/O EXPANSION MODULES Adding Expansion Modules The capabilities of the SCADA 3000 can be expanded by connecting additional I/O modules to the main unit.

SCADA 3000 User’s Manual I/O Programming The I/O (Input/Output) programming forms allow you to configure your inputs and outputs so that they accurately describe the signals you will be measuring and controlling. Individual Input and Output names can be programmed in addition to units of measure. Custom tables may be configured for linear 0–5 volt and 4–20 mA transducers. Outputs can be forced On or Off as needed in both manual mode or automatically via Ladder or C-program.
Chapter 10: Generic Programming INPUT TYPE There are six different choices for Input Type. Select the one that matches the transducer or signal source for your application: • Closure: This sets the input to look for a dry contact closure either Normally Open or Normally closed. No external voltage should be applied. When the input jumper is configured for a contact, a low-current 5V sense voltage is applied at the input terminals.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual TABLES AND CALIBRATION To program the custom table values and calibration, click the Table and Cal button. The following screen will appear. Figure 6: I/O table form You can set up custom tables for 0–5 volt and 4–20mA input types so that the values are read in engineering units. For example, say you have a 4–20mA transducer connected to a 400 inch tank and the transducer puts out 4mA when the tank is empty and 20mA when the tank is full.
Chapter 10: Generic Programming Figure 7: I/O Points Status screen (outputs) This form allows you to enter a name (up to 24 characters) to describe the device that the output controls. It’s best to be as specific as possible when naming the outputs. If you click on the I/O Setup tab, the next page of programming will appear: Figure 8: I/O Points Setup screen (outputs) On this form, the output type is just for reference and is not programmable.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual The last column is labeled Forced Status. The Forced Status gives you the ability to set the output for automatic control or manual control. The three choices are Not Forced, On or Off. When set to Not Forced, the output is controlled automatically from either the C or Ladder program. The other two options, On (closed) and Off (open), will manually force the output to these states.
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications Chapter 11: PROGRAMMING FOR PHONE LINE APPLICATIONS Destinations SCADA 3000 will call up to 64 telephone numbers or E-mail addresses (both referred to as destinations) to report alarm conditions or send reports. Destinations can be voice calls, fax machines, computers with modems running SCADA 3000 software, E-mail addresses, numeric pagers, or alphanumeric pagers. Choose Program from the main menu, then select Destinations.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual To program an alphanumeric pager destination, enter the pager service data or modem phone number followed by the letter A and then the pager ID. Example: 1-610-555-4593 A 0504099 E-mail The SCADA 3000 can send alarm messages and reports via e-mail. In the “Destination” field, enter the e-mail address. For this to work you must have an internet e-mail account and register the unit with Phonetics.
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications A = alphanumeric pager ID: The “A” dialing code is used ONLY for alphanumeric pager destinations. It is placed between the pager company’s telephone number and a particular pager’s ID number by typing the letter A (upper or lower case). It instructs SCADA 3000 to wait until a connection is made to the alphanumeric pager service’s computer system before transmitting the ID number for a particular pager.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Alarm Call Mode The Alarm Call Mode determines the calling priority for each destination. The three choices are Disabled, Until Acknowledged, and Inform. Disabled Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode Disabled will never be called. This is simply a way to disable dialing to this destination if necessary. Note that this only affects alarm dialout. SCADA 3000 will still dial to deliver reports if selected.
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications Note: For “E-Mail” Dial Types, only E-mail addresses may be programmed in the destination field, NOT telephone numbers.

Cleared: The alarm has been acknowledged but the source is still outside of the programmed alarm limits. Outstanding: The alarm is set but the source has returned to its normal range. Status This parameter describes the current status of the source with respect to the source’s alarm programming.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Figure 9: Source Data Points Alarm Type: This parameter describes the source as being an analog value or a digital value. There are three choices: Normally Open/Bit =0, Normally Closed/ Bit=1, and Limit. If your source is an analog signal (e.g., temperature, or tank level) then choose limit, as this type of signal will involve programming a high and low limit. Limit is for a data point where values may fluctuate but must remain within a specified range.
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications Alarm Notification Figure 10: Alarm Notification Screen On this screen you establish which alarms call which dialout destinations and assign any custom messages you’ve created into the alarm message that will be spoken. Any of the 64 (or 32) Voice messages you create can be assigned to any of the 64 specific alarms as well as status messages. Custom Voice Message: Check the box to use a custom message with the selected alarm.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Dialout Note: Call Progress SCADA 3000 monitors the progress of telephone calls when it is dialing out for alarms. After it dials, it will allow the line to ring up to ten times. If the call is not answered before ten rings have occurred, the unit will hang up, wait the programmed intercall time, and then dial the next number.
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications IMPORTANT: When dialing out to a phone number programmed as “Pager,” SCADA 3000 DOES NOT speak a voice message. It calls the pager company or service, enters the number to be displayed on the pager, then hangs up. Alarm Dialout - Alphanumeric Pager When dialing out to a destination programmed as “Alpha,” SCADA 3000 leaves a text message up to 80 characters long on the display of an alphanumeric pager.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual ALARM ACKNOWLEDGMENT Alarm Acknowledgment - Voice Dialout Repeated below is the same example of what SCADA 3000 might say during a typical “voice” dialout: “Hello, this is (ID number) (“Custom ID message”) “Alarm Channel 1 is too high. It is now 82.90 degrees Fahrenheit. “Hello, this is (ID number) (“Custom ID message”) “Alarm Channel 1 is too high. It is now 82.90 degrees Fahrenheit. “Hello, this is (ID number) (“Custom ID message”) “Alarm Channel 1 is too high. It is now 82.
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications SCADA 3000 will now wait 5 seconds for the Touch-Tone acknowledgment code to be entered. After the last digit of the acknowledgment code has been received, SCADA 3000 will respond by saying: “Alarm Acknowledged.” The alarm has been acknowledged and the unit will hang up. Once the alarm has been acknowledged, the dialout process stops.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Tip: When SCADA 3000 is programmed to make calls to alphanumeric pagers, make sure the intercall delay time is long enough to give the person carrying the pager some time to get to a phone to call the unit back. Alarm Acknowledgment - Modem Dialout SCADA 3000 will dial to a PC running the SCADA 3000 software in Receive Alarm mode and deliver an alarm message that will be logged by the software.
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications Figure 12: Comm Port form When an alarm call is received, the software will try to match the calling unit with one in its database. If a match is found, it will download the event log and display the alarm information on the Alarm History form shown below.

Chapter 12: Radio Programming Chapter 12: PROGRAMMING FOR RADIO APPLICATIONS Introduction Wireless communication with one or more SCADA 3000s may be accomplished via radio modems. In this scenario, one radio modem would be connected to the host computer and additional radio modems would be connected to each SCADA 3000 on the network. • The transmit frequency of the host PC radio modem must match the receive frequency of the radio modem at each SCADA 3000.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual modems do not require flow control; as a result, the COM2 configuration jumper may be left in the STD (standard) position. When flow control is not used, the radio modem will simply continue to send data until a short period of silence occurs. Note: Be sure to set each unit’s modbus ID to a unique number BEFORE powering up all of the units on your network.
Chapter 12: Radio Programming Figure 1: Comm Port Setup form Select the CommPort tab corresponding to the serial port you will be using to connect your radio modem. You must have Full Duplex Buffering disabled. Type: Select Radio Modem Port Baud Rate: set the baud rate to match the communications rate of your radio modem. Enable Port: Click to enable.

Chapter 15: Ladder Logic Programming Chapter 15: LADDER LOGIC PROGRAMMING Ladder Logic is one of the languages used to program the SCADA 3000 for control functions. While the C language is more mathematically capable, it does not handle “On/Off” functions very well. That’s where Ladder Logic comes in. It is the preferred language for control functions. With C Programming, you write formulas. With Ladder Logic, you build constructs out of a set of symbols.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Rules/Conventions of Ladder Logic Programming 1) One output per rung. 2) Each rung controls an output. 3) A normally open contact (XIC Instruction) when evaluated by the program is examined for a 1 (closed contact) to make the instruction true. 4) A normally closed contact (XIO Instruction) when evaluated by the program is examined for a 0 (Open contact) to make the instruction true. 5) The output on a given rung will be energized if any left to right path has all contacts closed.
Chapter 15: Ladder Logic Programming XIC Instruction (Examine if Closed) This instruction is used to determine if a contact has closed or to check if a bit is ON. When the address represents a discrete input, the program checks the open/closed status of the contact connected to the input. If the contact is closed, then the instruction is evaluated as true. When the address represents a bit value of an instruction, the program checks to see if the bit is ON.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual OTE Instruction (Output Energize) This instruction is used to turn on an output or a bit when rung conditions are true. A typical output would consist of a relay or an indicator light. OTE instructions are reset when rung conditions become false or the program is stopped and restarted. The OTE instruction executes in 3.1µs and requires 38 bytes.
Chapter 15: Ladder Logic Programming OSR (One-Shot Rising) This instruction is used to make an event occur one time. It is not associated with a particular input but rather with the instructions preceding it on the rung itself.

Chapter 16: Programming in C Chapter 16: PROGRAMMING IN C C is a computer programming language that has become increasingly popular in industrial automation for writing sophisticated control programs. Integrated within SCADA 3000 is a C language interpreter. This interpreter allows you to write and compile a program written in the C language to perform intelligent input/output control and mathematical functions.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual ARRAYS: This is a more advanced programming type that significantly shortens and simplifies long programs. ERROR HANDLING: When a program is compiled, it is scanned for language related errors. An error message, including the type of error, is displayed. EDITING TOOL: The SCADA 3000 Windows Software provides an editing utility that allows you to write, compile, upload, download, run, and start C programs.
Chapter 16: Programming in C In many of the examples in the chapter we use x and y as variable names. The variable names can be up to 15 characters long. Numbers can also be used as long as the name does not begin with a number. In addition to letters and numbers, the underscore character may also be used in a variable name, but it cannot be the first character of the variable name. You cannot have spaces in the middle of a variable name.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual There are C commands other than “if” and “else”, and built-in variables, to access SCADA 3000’s inputs and outputs. Details for these will be covered later. KEYWORDS The following is a list of all valid components of the C language within the SCADA 3000. char int float if else for do while Definitions CHAR - Used to define a variable as a character. A character can hold a value from -128 to +127 and must be a whole number. Exceeding this range will cause incorrect results.
Chapter 16: Programming in C IF - Used to make decisions. Example: main () { if (read_uaf(input,0,0)>100) { write_uaf(output,0,0,on); } } ELSE - Used with IF to execute a statement when the IF condition is false. Example: main () { if (read_uaf(input,0,0)>100) { write_uaf(output,0,0,on); } else { write_uaf(output,0,0,off); } } FOR - Used to execute a statement (or statements) multiple times. Contains a start condition, a stop condition, and a control statement.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual WHILE - Used to execute a list of statements while a condition is true. The statements are only executed if the condition is already true. The following example only sets output 0 on when input 0 is greater than 100, and keeps it on until input 0 is less than or equal to 100. Example: main () { while (read_uaf(input,0,0)>100); { write_uaf(output,0,0,on); } } OPERATORS - Symbols used to execute mathematical operations and determine whether a particular condition exists.
Chapter 16: Programming in C PREDEFINED VARIABLES SCADA 3000’s C language has several variables that are predefined. These variables are automatically updated with the proper information outside of the C program and cannot be changed by the user.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual FUNCTION LIBRARY In SCADA 3000’s C language there are five functions defined—Read, Write, Reset, Power, and Write Record. These functions allow you to retrieve/assign certain values and incorporate them into your C program. Most parameters within the SCADA 3000 are accessible via the UAF (Universal Address Format). The Read and Write functions always include an associated UAF. A function can be a statement by itself or it can be used to retrieve a value and return it.
Chapter 16: Programming in C Example: main () { if (read_uaf(input,0,0)>100.0) board is greater than 100 */ { write_uaf(output,0,0,on); output 0 on the main board to on */ } } /*If input 0 on main /* then set relay RESET FUNCTION - Used to reset (acknowledge) the specified alarm in the SCADA 3000. Summary: Description int reset(x) int x; alarm number: 0-63 The reset function is used for acknowledging any alarm in the unit. The parameter of the function specifies the alarm number to be acknowledged.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual WRITE_REC FUNCTION - used to write a single DataLog record to the DataLogger. Summary: write_rec(); Description The write_rec function is used to write a single DataLog record to the DataLogger. All values selected for logging on the DataLogger programming form will be logged once when this function executes, regardless of whether or not the DataLogger is actually running or not.
Chapter 16: Programming in C SAMPLE PROGRAM This program calculates a one-hour average temperature. The array named “numbers” sets up a series of variables from 0 to 60 to hold a value for input 0 for each minute in an hour. The 60 values are totaled, then averaged. The average can then viewed from the C & Ladder Variables form, stored in the datalogger, or displayed on the Real-time screen. By using an array, the program becomes substantially more concise.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual 4) for (x=0;x<60;x=x+1) This line initializes the index variable (x) to zero, checks to see if it is less than 60, runs the next line, and then increments x by one. This line creates a loop that runs the following line until x reaches 60. 5) total = total + numbers[x]; This line of the program is very important. It eliminates having sixty lines of programming to get a total of all the minute readings.
Chapter 16: Programming in C C EDITOR The SCADA 3000 Software contains a C programming utility that allows you to write C programs, upload/download them to the SCADA 3000, save/load C programs on your computer, compile, run, and start programs in the SCADA 3000.

Chapter 16: Programming in C Differences Between Standard C and SCADA 3000 C For those of you who are familiar with C programming, note that there are some differences between standard C and SCADA 3000’s C compiler. The following items will be helpful to be aware of: 1) In SCADA 3000, every IF, ELSE, FOR, DO, and WHILE must have a set of brackets {} after it. 2) Condition clauses must be grouped together into pairs.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Listed below is the same program written using a ‘straight through’ approach. Only IF statements: main () { if (read_uaf(input,0,1)==0) { write_uaf(output,0,3,on); } if ((read_uaf(input,0,1)==1) { write_uaf(output,0,3,off); } } In this case, when input 1 closes, output 3 will be turned on and then continue with the rest of the program. If input 1 opens, output 3 will be turned off. This program cannot get held up in a WHILE loop.
Chapter 16: Programming in C Example #4 Forcing Alarms from the C-Program To make an alarm occur as the result of a C-program action, you must define a C variable and then use the same C Variable as the Source Data Point on the Alarms form. On the alarms form you would select the Alarm Type to match the value of the C variable. For numeric values, set the Alarm Type to limit, for digital values set the Alarm Type to either bit=0 or bit =1.

Chapter 17: PID Programming Chapter 17: PID PROGRAMMING The SCADA 3000 includes eight programmable PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) control algorithms which allow the unit to operate as a feedback controller. A feedback controller is typically used to maintain a set point for a process. In a feedback control application you would have one input (the feedback) and one output (the force or mechanism) that allows you to maintain the setpoint.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual • Dead Zone: This is the amount of variation that can be tolerated around the Target Set Point. For example, if the you were trying to maintain a pressure of 75 PSI +/- 10, you would enter a value of 10 for the Dead Zone. This will permit the pressure to vary between 65 and 85 PSI without effecting any correction. Note that entering a value of 0 for the Dead Zone will cause the output to change frequently, which may be undesirable with certain types of equipment.
Chapter 17: PID Programming tuning factor Kp. The higher the value of Kp the more influence this parameter has on the controller output. The integral term is computed by taking the integral of the error over a recent time interval and multiplying it by the Integral tuning factor Ki. The higher the value of Ki the more influence this parameter has on the controller output. The derivative term is computed by taking the derivative of the error signal and multiplying it by the Derivative tuning factor Kd.
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual If the lag time is brief, however, and the process reacts quickly to the controller’s efforts, then the integral term plays less of a role in the controller’s output, as the errors will be too shortlived for it to work. Instead, the derivative term will be larger due to the rapid changes. Each term will share some importance in any controller’s output; how much is determined by the behavior of the process being controlled.
Chapter 18: System Diagnostics Chapter 18: SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS Main Board Diagnostics The SCADA 3000 includes circuitry to monitor numerous internal system parameters to make sure that the unit is functioning properly. Some circuits are tested on power-up while others are monitored on a continuous basis.
