Introduction

5. Introduction
The T2S ETH stands for T2S Ethernet. It replaces the former T2S with the same form factor but with a front Ethernet
connector replacing the former USB one. Like his predecessor, T2S ETH is a monitoring solution for the full TSI inverter
range and is able to monitor up to 32 inverters through a friendly web base interface. T2S also supports Modbus Serial
communication (RTU) and SNMP v1 Communication.
This new monitoring device provides a graphical user interface, embeds a SNMPv2c/SNMP v3 agent and Modbus TCP
support with Catena, if one needs a touch screen display Catena can be connected to T2S ETH and is Compatible. It
also allows user to change the configuration of the system.

12 – Monitoring T2S - ETH User Manual – v1.4


Hardware

6. Hardware
T2S ETH provides 3 LEDs: Red for major alarm signaling, orange led for minor alarm signaling and green led for power
and network connection status.
The RJ45 is a standard ETH connector that could be connected on any IPv4 network.
T2S ETH firmware can be upgrade using the Micro SD card. Device firmwares are available in my.cet-power.com

6.2 Signaling Information


As it is designed to be used in the same shelf as former T2S, T2S ETH inherits the connections on the back.

Note: The terminal connector accepts maximum wire size of 0.5 mm2.
Important remarks:
In a system with several shelves, T2S ETH is usually located in the first one (although it’s not mandatory) but relay
signaling contacts will be terminated in the T2S ETH installed shelf. The above connection is just an example, actual
connection will be based on your shelf design and connections.
If the T2S is included in one complete system including for example Termination box or some customers packages, the
terminal will be located somewhere else. (Refer System user manual).

15 – Monitoring T2S - ETH User Manual – v1.4


Hardware

6.2.1 Alarm relay


There are 3 alarm contacts:
•• Major
•• Minor
•• User selectable
As one can see in the picture: contacts 5 and 6 are closed when no major alarm is present,
contact 8 and 9 are closed when no minor alarm is present.
Remark: Default mapping and level of each available alarm of the monitoring unit is
available in “Annex 1: Supervisor alarms - T2S ETH”, page 69.

NB: Alarm relay are active (energized) when no alarm are present.
•• Alarms relay features
ƒƒ Max current: 2 A @ 30 VDC or 1A @ 60 VDC
ƒƒ Max Power: 60 W
ƒƒ Max Voltage: 60 VDC SELV
Note that for higher voltages, it is mandatory to install an additional relay with appropriate characteristics – especially
for 60/110/220 VDC.

6.2.2 Digital Inputs


Two potential free Digital inputs are available for customer connections.
•• Digital Input 1 is assigned for MBP operation if used.
•• Digital Input 2 is assigned for Surge Arrester if used.
The voltage present on terminal 1 and 3 is +5 V (galvanic insulation). Care should be taken to avoid connecting any
external voltage on terminal 1 to 3. External signals should be applied to these terminals via Volt-free contacts. The
function is activated when the 2 terminals concerned are short-circuited (i.e. when the external Volt-free contact is
closed).

6.2.3 Communication
A RJ45 connector is present at rear of the shelf and can be used for Candis display and Modbus (RTU) communication.

16 – Monitoring T2S - ETH User Manual – v1.4


Hardware

Note: The colour of wires is irrelevant and may vary, but make sure the position of wires is exactly crimped.

Pin Number Name Description


1 CANH CANH pin for Candis
2 CANL CANL pin for Candis
3 GND_IAX Digital Communication Ground
4 GND_IAX Digital Communication Ground
5 12V_IAX +12 V unregulated
6 COM_A RS 485 A
7 GND_IAX Digital Communication Ground
8 COM_B RS 485 B

Important remark:
T2S ETH comes in only one “flavor” in term of serial communication RS485 and support Modbus RTU (read-only).
Currently, no protocol is available for customer use on CAN bus connection and it is dedicated for Candis accessory.
The unregulated +12 V power supply is designed for powering CE+T accessories and should not be used for any other
purpose.

17 – Monitoring T2S - ETH User Manual – v1.4

6.3 Monitoring - Candis


T2S ETH also supports the Candis display and it is a monitoring device allowing the user to get
information from inverter system.
To enable candis, connect RJ45 CAT cable at rear side of the T2S ETH installed shelf and
Candis. Refer section 6.2.3, page 16.

TSI System with Candis


6.3.1 Display and Buttons
1   Display (2 lines provided to display information).
2   Up button to scroll UP in the menus.
3   Down button to scroll DOWN in the menus.
4   Enter button to change display or validate modifications.

6.3.2 Configuration
When more than one display is used on the same system, the CANBUS ID must be different and include values from
124 to 264 (i.e as 134; 144 ; 154, …264).
The other information that can be configured are the related phase, the AC group or DC group, and the adjustment the
backlight.
If the installed system is multi-phase or has multiple DC groups, the T2S and the inverter modules must be correctly
configured to display the correct value by phase or DC group.
For instance in three phase systems, the inverter modules must be configured to show the 3 phases’ output
information, but also the one related to the three AC group who correspond to each AC input phase. By doing so, the
display will show the values phase by phase.

Warning: The Candis Display is powered from the auxiliary power supply of the modules which are
limited in power.

V out= 233 V The line beneath the first line indicates that
I out= 3 A display parameters can be changed for first line.

V out= 233 V The line beneath the second line indicates that
I out= 3 A display parameters can be changed for second line.

previous page by clicking “back”.

When browsing away from home page, user can go back straight to it by clicking the home page.

Whenever a logged user click this button, he will be redirected to login page.

7.4 Pages and Feature

7.4.1 AC IN
This page displays the measurement
made by the modules on the AC input.
Available values are:

Measure Unit
Voltage (V) Volts (V)
Current (I) Ampere (A)
Frequency(f) Hertz (Hz)
Input Power(P) Kilo Watts (kW)

System also keeps track of last AC In


failure timestamp.
Remark:
Modules have a Power Factor of 1, that’s why power is only displayed in KW. This would be the same value in KVA.
Last AC in failure is non-persistent information. It means that it will be lost if device is reset

7.4.2 DC IN
This page displays the measurement
made by the modules on the DC input.
Available values are:

Measure Unit
Voltage (V) Volts (V)
Current (I) Ampere (A)

7.4.5 Module
This page gives module by module
measurement.
T2S ETH is the monitoring solution
for inverters which are all one
phase modules.
Many controls are available from
this page to manage the module:

User can set the module address he wants between 1 and 32

It’s not always easy to identify a module in front of a system. Clicking this icon will blink all
module’s LEDs for few seconds.

A module can be manually turned off by user interface. It will still be present on communication
bus, but is output is turned off. When you click on it, it will change is state from display one to
opposite.

T2S ETH keeps track of all modules which appears on the bus which means no installation is
needed when a new module is plugged in. But when a module is removed, it’s mandatory to
tell the system about it, by “uninstalling” it, clicking this button. If not, the system will detect a
missing module and raise an alarm.

For each of its converter, the module can be assigned an AC in phase, an AC out phase and a DC
group. User can do so by using this control number to each converter measures. Module should
be manually off to do changes for AC out phases.

If module fan is replaced, click this icon to clear the corresponding alarm.

7.4.6 Events
Events page lists all events currently
ongoing in the system. These are sorted
by event occurrence time, latest event
will be on top of the list. T2S ETH records
maximum number of 2000 events as
FIFO.
“Device” column provides the source
of the alarm which can be down to
converter of a given module (example:
module 4 AC IN) to System or monitoring
level.
Events appear with a colour
corresponding to their alarm level
(grey – event, orange – minor, red –
major).
A filter as shown below is available to display only a subset of these events.

7.4.7 Log
Log file lists all events which have
occurred in the system since last log
clear.
Compared to event page, an extra
column display if event has appeared or
disappeared.
For each event, there are two log lines:
one with the timestamp of the event
appearing and the second one with the
timestamp of the event disappearing.
User can filter the log like in event page.
User is able to see the difference
between event and log page: no colour
for alarm level is used in log page, a
column states it.
Log download and clear functions are available in “Files” menu.

Catena

8. Catena
8.1 Introduction
Catena is the display solution for T2S ETH. Using it, you get access on a 7’’ display directly in the system, providing the
same graphical user interface as the T2S ETH when accessed remotely.

8.2 User interface


As described before, the user interface is the same if the system is accessed remotely or directly on the 7’’ display.
The only limitation is the relay testing button, which is not available in Catena.

8.3 Ethernet connections


Catena has 3 ETH connections, two at rear and one at front.

8.3.1 Rear connections


One is dedicated to connection with T2S ETH while the second one is for permanent network connection. On this one,
Catena offers extra protocols: SNMP v2c, v3 and Modbus over TCPIP. See following section “Protocols” about these.

8.3.2 Front connection


The front ETH connection is the maintenance access of the Catena. As it’s providing a DHCP server, it’s not needed
anymore to change your laptop settings to connect point to point on the device.
When plugging an RJ45 cable between Catena and your laptop, the following popup will be displayed:

To get access to the user interface, just follow instruction from the popup:
•• Open a web browser (Chrome or Firefox)
•• Type http://catena.local in the address bar
When the cable is unplugged, the display is accessible again.
Important remark: this feature is only available in latest version (both Hardware and Software).

39 – Monitoring T2S - ETH User Manual – v1.4


Catena

8.3.3 Troubleshooting
For any reason, if connection between Catena and T2S ETH cannot be established, the following popup will be
displayed:

Follow the steps listed here. If the problem persists even after a reset (or hard reset by power supply), try to connect
directly on T2S ETH and check that it’s properly configured “With Catena” (See section 8.4, page 40).

8.4 Configuration
In Catena installed system, it is mandatory to set the option as “With CATENA” in Network page. (Parameters >
Monitoring > Network > Connection mode > Hardware setup). Refer section “Network”, page 32

8.4.1 Network architecture


When using Catena with T2S ETH, the network architecture is the following:

“A” is a private network between Catena and T2S ETH. Catena provides a DHCP server on this port to provide an IP
address to T2S ETH. Even if not usable for user, the address range used there is 10.240.240.X and therefore, this
address range is not available on interface B.
“B” is the user “permanent network connection” to the Catena. It can be either in DHCP client or in fixed IP address.
When using a Catena, the network parameters in user interface are the ones used on interface B.
Important remark: when “With Catena” mode is selected, T2S ETH is listening for DHCP client. For any reason, if you
want to connect on T2S ETH directly by removing the cable “A”, then you have to wait for the DHCP client timeout of
about 2 minutes. Only after that, T2S ETH will use the defined IP address in network parameters and you can reach it.

40 – Monitoring T2S - ETH User Manual – v1.4


Catena

8.5 Protocols
Using Catena SNMP V2C, SNMP V3 and Modbus TCP support is enhanced to monitor the system.

8.5.1 SNMP v2c


Implemented MIB file is CET-MIB.
For configuration refer to section “SNMP”, page 46.

8.5.2 SNMP v3
Implemented MIB file is CET-MIB. Three different modes are available in SNMP v3 with subsequent parameters:
•• No Auth/No Priv
•• Auth/No Priv
•• Auth/Priv

8.5.3 Modbus over TCP/IP


Only “read” mode is available, which means that Modbus can only be used for monitoring, not to execute actions on
the system.
Port is fixed to standard Modbus TCP/IP port 502. This protocol can be either enabled or disabled.
The Reserved parameters are not implemented in the current version of T2S ETH and are for future use.

SNMP

9. SNMP
9.1 SNMP Configuration

9.1.1 Introduction
This document describes the Management Information Base (MIB) schema design for standalone T2S ETH for SNMP
v1 configuration and T2S ETH with Catena for SNMP V2C and V3 configuration. A MIB schema describes the structure
of information served by a Simple Network Management Protocol Subsystem (SNMP) agent.

9.1.2 General NMS, SNMP Agent and MIB Role


This section describes the Management Information Base’s (MIB’s) and SNMP Agent’s roles.

9.1.2.1 NMS Role


SNMP’s purpose is to report operational status information about networked computing devices to a centralized
Network Management System (NMS) endpoint. The status information is typically polled from an SNMP Agent on
regular intervals by a Network Management System (NMS) Endpoint. Internal status can also be checked by the SNMP
Agent on regular intervals, and when status of certain metrics falls outside pre-defined acceptable tolerances, an
asynchronous Notification is transmitted to the NMS. This notification is termed as a Trap.

9.1.2.2 MIB Role


The MIB file describes the specific format of data provided by the SNMP agent running within the subsystem. The
data is grouped in terms of high level objects, and therefore models a top-down hierarchical design. There exist a high
level object defined in a TOP LEVEL MIB file they are CET-TSI-MIB and CET-TSI-SMI

9.1.2.3 SNMP Agent Role


An agent is a network-management software module that resides on a managed device. An agent has local knowledge
of management information and translates that information to or from an SNMP-specific form. A network management
station (NMS) executes applications that monitor and control managed devices. As mentioned above, the SNMP agent’s
purpose is report data elements to a Network Management System tool, such as MG Soft, I reasoning on a periodic
basis. Also, if the system is exhibiting non-ideal behavior, Notifications can be distributed to the NMS on a per incident
basis called the Traps. After Notifications that denote non-conforming or malfunctioning behavior are triggered, the
system may further distribute Notifications indicating the system is back to its normal state.

9.1.3 MIB General Design


This section describes the general design for the T2S ETH and Catena products

9.1.3.1 Industry Identification


The private CET MIB shall be represented by the object identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.12551, or iso.org.dod.internet.private.
enterprise.cetMIB.
The TSI MIB shall be named cetTSI and will be located as a child object of the cetMIB, using object identifier
1.3.6.1.4.1.12551.4, taking the next available spot at the top level of the cet MIB’s Products node.

46 – Monitoring T2S - ETH User Manual – v1.4


SNMP

9.1.3.2 MIB Design in the T2S ETH and Catena Products


Each component in the system or device shall be monitored and therefore will be described by its own Management
Information Base (MIB) structure file which describes the data provided by that MIB. The data elements in a MIB are
grouped in objects, and each object may hold any number of child objects specified as either scalar values or tabular
values.
In CET-TSI MIB Device objects are grouped to a high level table tsiObjects, a Table is effectively specified as a group
of scalar values each scalar is a column in the table. Tables are used to provide multiple groups of information
(multiple rows).The first child of tsiObjects are tsiModules,tsiPhases, tsiACGroups, tsiDcGroups, tsiAlarms, tsiTraps,
tsiEventDescription, tsiT2SInfo, tsiConfiguration
For example, tsiModules is the table which holds all module information if there are multiple Module components on a
given system, tsiModuleseen MIB table will provide an instance (row) for each module like tsiModuleSeen.1 (.1) is the
instance referring to first module.

FAQ

10. FAQ
1. I’m unable to change the output phase of a module
ƒƒ Check that the number of phase is correctly configured in Configuration > Power > AC OUT > Nb of
phase
ƒƒ Module should be manually turned off (module page)
ƒƒ Don’t forget to turn the module back on when phase is changed!

2. I have a system properly running with T2S USB, can I replace it with T2S ETH
Of course T2S ETH and T2S are 100% compatible. Once the load is fed, monitoring cannot cause any issue to it.
Feel free to replace your old T2S by a new T2S ETH.

Pay attention to:

ƒƒ MBP monitoring is a T2S configuration parameter which should be re-configured in your new T2S ETH
once it’s up and running.
ƒƒ Candis is not compatible with T2S ETH. A new version will be available soon, get in touch with your local
sales representative for more info about availability and retrofit possibilities.
ƒƒ As their features are redundant, T2S ETH is not compatible with former TCP-IP module.
ƒƒ Operating parameter need to be cross check, and IP setting must reconfigured.

3. I want to replace a power module in my system, what should I do?


ƒƒ Remove the module
ƒƒ Browse to module selection popup.
ƒƒ The removed module appears in red. Click on it.
ƒƒ This brings you to module page. Unsinstall the module by clicking the uninstall button.
ƒƒ Insert the new module.
ƒƒ Module will appears on module selection popup.
ƒƒ Its address can be changed by browsing to module page.

4. How can I reset my admin password if I have unfortunately forgotten it?


In case of password lost, a new temporary password (valid 24 hrs after creation) can be issued by CE+T Power.
To receive a temporary password, send an email with your T2S ETH serial Number and the date at which you
expect to go back on site to change the password to customer.support@cet-power.com specifically requesting
a new temporary password. The serial number can be found on the sticker on the T2S ETH, or on screen in
‘Parameters’ then ‘Info’.

Maintenance Task

13. Maintenance Task


As maintenance will perform on live system, all task should perform only by trained people with sufficient
acknowledge on TSI product.
Tasks:
•• Identify the site, customer, responsible, cabinet number, product type.
•• Download and save configuration file for back up.
•• Check configuration file to be in accordance with operational site conditions.
•• Read and save log file for back up.
•• Check and analyze log file, and if alarm are present.
•• Replace dust filter if present. Filter is mandatory in dusty environment.
•• Check module temperature and log value. If internal temperature is higher then previous year, it should be
interesting analyze if it is due an increasing load or dust effect. It is common to have a delta of 15°C by 30% of
load between the ambient and the internal temperature. If temperature increase due internal dust built up clean
the TSI with vacuum cleaner and/or soft compressed air.
•• Clean cabinet (vacuum cleaner or dry cloth)
•• Control the inverter mapping (AC Group, DC Group, Address)
•• Check load level and record the rate value (print in word document the 4 screen modules information for the 32
modules, the 3 screen for the phases value and the 2 screens for the group AC and DC value)
•• Change the configuration file for AC and DC mix mode to check that all TSI work on both power supply
•• Check alarm operation (e.g., redundancy lost, mains failure, DC failure) on dry contact and through SNMP system
or web interface.
•• Switch OFF AC IN and check alarms.
•• Check temperature terminal and temperature wiring. If possible use an infrared camera.
•• Read and record value as wave form, power factor, Crest factor, THD I from power analyzer.
•• Take cabinet picture
•• Keep track of report and provide end user with a copy.
•• Perform a MBP procedure. This task is not really recommended*, but could be demanded by site manager.

* It is not recommended because when you perform a By-pass procedure, generally there is no back up on AC input
line, and the load shutdown if mains disappear.

This is the list of alarms issued by supervisor. Other alarms are issued by other modules (see section 15, page 72).
The supervisor is able to generate alarms that are related to the system, to inverter modules, or to itself. Alarms related
to inverters will be seen as system alarms when module alarm is present on all inverters. Each alarm has a priority
level. The level can be (disabled, event, minor, major). If the level can be configured in user interface, then it is marked
as “mappable”.

16.2 Database Description

16.2.1 Typographic convention:


In this document the following naming convention will be used to represent the type of a variable:
The first letter will indicate if the variable is signed (S) or unsigned (U). Then the following digit(s) will indicate the
number of bits needed to store the variable.
Thus:
ƒƒ U8 will represent an unsigned variable stored in a 8-bit wide memory
ƒƒ U16 will represent an unsigned variable stored in a 16-bit wide memory
ƒƒ U32 will represent an unsigned variable stored in a 32-bit wide memory
And:
ƒƒ S8 will represent a signed variable stored in a 8-bit wide memory
ƒƒ S16 will represent a signed variable stored in a 16-bit wide memory
ƒƒ S32 will represent a signed variable stored in a 32-bit wide memory
What is more, Modbus RTU register base type is a 16-bit wide variable. This means it is possible to store two 8-bit
variables in a register. These two variables will be accessed using the same index in the structure. Thus in order to
know if the variable is stored in the upper byte or in the lower byte, letter H(High) or L(Low) is added to the index.
As specified by the protocol, variables longer than 8-bit are always represented in big-Endian format (MSB first).

16.2.2 Data types:


Modbus RTU protocol defines four types of variables class described in the following table

Name Type Access Supported by T2S ETH


Discrete input 1-bit wide Read-only No
Coil 1-bit wide Read-write No
Input register 16-bit wide Read-only Yes
Holding register 16-bit wide Read-write No

Data address mapping and signification are described in the following sections.

16.2.3 Supported function:


Accordingly to Modbus RTU specification, supported functions by the T2S ETH controller are the following:
ƒƒ Read Input registers (0x04)

Reading an invalid entry


Let’s assume that there are only 2 alarms present in the system. Then reading alarm entry #3 should return an invalid
entry

Field Value Description


Function 4 (0x04) Read input register
Address 2014 (0x07DE) 2010 + 2*(3-1) = 2014 (see alarm table, page 83)
Number of registers 2 (0x02) Alarm entry is 2 registers wide

Master frame: 0x01 0x04 0x07 0xDE 0x00 0x02 0x10 0x85
T2S ETH frame: 0x01 0x04 0x04 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFA 0x10
Conclusion, there is no alarm entry #3 and nor are there further entries. This leads to the conclusion that only 2 alarms
are present at the time in the system.

Linking alarm ID to alarm description text:


If we consider the alarm ID #179 of example above, we can get description text for this alarm by reading related entry
in the “Event string table”.

Reading an invalid entry


Let’s assume that entry #189 is invalid

Field Value Description


Function 4 (0x04) Read input register
Address 7920 (0x1EF0) 4160 + 20*(189-1) = 7920
Number of registers 20 (0x14) Alarm entry is 20 registers wide

Master frame: 0x01 0x04 0x1E 0xF0 0x00 0x14 0xF6 0x1E

0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF
0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xF0 0x04
Due to internal memory organization, the configuration might have valid entries interleaved with invalid ones. Thus, in
order to read all configurations, one should read all entries to determine which ones are valid and which ones are not.

Annex 3: Modbus

Exceptions: Textual parameter


As one can see, the configured value field is 16 bit wide. Consequently, only integer values can be read (or further
configured) using this way. There are 3 parameters that are not integer values but strings. Thus, the values returned in
the “Configured value” field of the configuration table for those 3 IDs are dummy values that have no meaning.
Those IDs are the following

ID Description Remark
Can be read in the digital inputs table in the
901 Digital input 1 label
holding registers (0x0686)
Can be read in the digital inputs table in the
902 Digital input 2 label
holding registers (0x0686)

Note 1:
Caution should be taken while changing module address because it will affect the addresses where to retrieve
information regarding this module. What is more there can be a delay between the moment where the change address
order is received and the moment where the module address has been physically changed. Moreover, a module
address can be changed to a new address that is already assigned to another module! In this case, the modules will
swap their addresses.
For all those reasons, the best and secure way to change a module address is the following one:
1. Get module serial number using “Module information table” using the current address to calculate the index.
2. Send to the new address for this module using the “Module action table” using the current address to calculate
the index.
3. Poll the serial number using “Module information table” using the new address as index until there is a match
with the serial number collected at point 1.

For example, you can read from base address 1840 (AC input L1)
AC input power value (U32 so address 4 will be MSB and address 5 LSB) = 106 [VA]
ƒƒ Input voltage (U16) at address 6 = 2321 [0.1 V] = 232.1 [V]
ƒƒ Input current (U16) at address 7 = 4 [0.1 A] = 0.4 [A]
ƒƒ Input frequency (U16) at address 8 = 499 [0.1 HZ] = 49.9 [Hz]
