G 3890 0014
Mode of Operation
The G 3890 0014 master gener-
ator is a programmable channel
generator which is particularly
well suited for building automa-
tion applications like lighting
control, rollerblind control, tem-
perature control, and alarm-
monitoring. Through an easy-to-
use windows-based configura-
tion software, the unit can be
configured to perform real-time
control, logic and timer func-
tions, ISA, water, smoke and
Intruder alarm-monitoring and
Code/ Door lock armouring.
Print-outs of time-tagged user-
defined text in case of channel
output changes.
Keys
In the display mode, the four
front-keys are used to change
the display showing time, date,
day of the week, year or soft-
ware revision of the master gen-
erator (Press < enter >). The keys
are also used to set the time,
date, day of the week, year and
definition of operation and
parameters of the parallel ports.
Display
The back-lighted 4-digit LCD
display is used to show all the
relevant information that can be
changed by using the keys. If no
key is pressed for 2 minutes, the
display automatically shows the
actual time. In case of an Error
the display shows an Error code.
Back-up Terminals
In case of missing power the
internal calendar and clock are
supported by a super-capacitor.
Under normal ambient tempera-
ture this back-up will maintain
the correct date and time for
typically 5 days. If longer power
shutdowns can occur, an exter-
nal battery of 4.5 to 9 VDC may
be connected between terminal
35 (+) and terminal 36 (-).
Alarm Output Terminals
An open collector NPN-transistor
output with NC function signals
alarms and faults in the system.
Attention by the local personnel
is requested whenever this out-
put switches off. The display
and/or the LED´s gives an indi-
cation of the cause of problem.
Master Generator Configura-
tion
The master generator is as fac-
tory default configured to oper-
ate as a standard channel-gen-
erator without intelligent func-
tions. To obtain full utilisation of
the advanced features, the gen-
erator has to be configured.
For configuration, the delivered
software SW G 3890 0014 has
to be installed on a Win
95/98/NT based PC.
This software handles all config-
uration of the G 3890 0014 mas-
ter generator. The software ver-
sion must be consistent with the
firmware version of the Master
Generator. Press <Enter> on top
of the Master Generator to see
the version in the display.
Configuration is done entirely on
the PC, and when completed,
the set-up is downloaded into
the generator via the serial port.
(COM1 or COM2).
Two Dupline®networks*
Two channel generators can be
connected via communication
cable. Thereby addresses, i.e.
master commands, can be
transferred from one network to
the other by means of the matrix
mapping in the configuration
software. Entering "1" in the
desired Dupline®address per-
forms selection of the channel
status from the other Dupline®
network.
Modbus-RTU*
Modbus-RTU is implemented as
a function of a slave. The follow-
ing Modbus functions are sup-
ported: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06 and 16.
See: Modbus-RTU Memory
Mapping.
SMS**
Surveillance and control of
Dupline®channels can take
place by means of the SMS
option. The G38900014 module
can call up several GSM phones,
when an event or alarm appears,
and a GSM phone can change
the status of a Dupline®chan-
nel/function. The last option is
"Dial-in number" and password
protected.
