1) Introduction

    The MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK ver. 2.3 is a communication driver which allows to connect BMS system with several fire protection systems from Schrack Seconet using ETHERNET channels. The Integral Standard Protocol/IP (ISP/IP) is used by the driver. The computer with BMS system uses an ETHERNET network card. Schrack central can use built-in ethernet card (Integral IP) or network cards from B5-NET series. The driver can be connected to BMZ Integral IP, Integral C or Integral system.

It includes the following features:

  1. Very effective method of communication which uses ISP/IP protocol.
  2. Works as a service. It works even after logging out from the system.
  3. Supports all main events which exist in Schrack.
  4. Multi-threading which allows to do tasks in a very efficient way, without a heavy load of the processor.
  5. Easy connection to BMS system using standard MODBUS TCP protocol.
  6. Easy to use configuration.
  7. Monitoring of the communication process.
  8. Automatically re-running the communication after failure.


2) Pre-configured hardware solution

    The MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK ver. 2.3 can be delivered with dedicated hardware. It is usually small PC computer with Microsoft Windows Embedded operating system. This computer has already MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK installed and registered. So, there is no need to do procedures from point 3 and 4 of this manual. However there is usually a need to change a Configuration.cms file as it was described in point 5. The MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK service is configured to start automatically after an operating system starts. You can connect to a computer by using Remote Desktop. A computer has following default parameters:

Computer name

User

Password

Workgroup

IP address
MSSCHRACK1Administrator$tsschrack01TS 10.10.1.101
MSSCHRACK2Administrator$tsschrack02TS 10.10.1.102


There is also one directory, called Exchange which is a shared folder on each computer.



3) Installing the I/O driver

Run MODBUSTCP_SCHRACK_INSTALL.EXE.Installation software will put MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK files into the C:\Program Files\TIGER_SOFT\MODBUSTCP_SCHRACK_2_3 directory or another directory chosen by the user. Shortcuts to the manual and registration software exist in the group MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK ver. 2.3 (access from the Start menu). The driver is installed as a service.



4)Software registration

MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK should be registered after installation using TIGER-SOFT internet service. SOFTWARE REGISTRATION from MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK group should be started first. This program generates file gen_lic.lic and saves it in the main driver directory. Then you have to connect to http://www.tiger-soft.com.pl/Registration/registration.html, fill the form and receive the registration code. This code should be put to the editable field in the SOFTWARE REGISTRATION. Press OK to finish registration process.



5)Configuring the MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK

The file - Configuration.cms is used for the driver configuration. It exists in the same directory like the MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK.exe. An example of the file is presented below.

# MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK - configuration program

# Rrr.TttAaa[sa], where rr-modbus registry number(1-65535), tt-type(0-16,100,255,4095),
# aa-address of the element(1-65535), sa-sub address of the element(0-255)
# Special Communication point: R1.T100A0[0]

6)Configuring a MODBUS TCP client

MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK is an MODBUS slave device with ID configured in SLAVE_ID (Configuration.cms). Every device that can cooperate with MODBUS slave device using Modbus TCP protocol should work fine with MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK. The driver uses holding registers from address 40001.There is a Communication status value, usually in the first register (R1.T100A0[0]). Next registers contain values of points configured in the Configuration.cms file. The order of modbus addresses is the same like order of points in the Configuration.cms file.

Example:
Schrack point from Configuration.cmsModbus AddressHolding Register Number
R2.T0A110[255]400022
R3.T0A110[1]400033
R4.T0A110[2]400044
R5.T1A101[255]400055
R6.T1A102[255]400066
R7.T1A103[255]400077
R8.T2A1[255]400088
R9.T2A2[255]400099
R10.T2A3[255]4001010
R11.T3A1[255]4001111

 

Following Schrack Points can be configured in the Configuration.cms file.

7) Starting and stopping the MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK

The driver can be run from the service manager on Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/Server. Second way is to use command line with commands: MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK -s for starting and MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK -z, for stopping it. The service MODBUSTCP-SCHRACK can be also configured to start automatically after operating system is started.
