Historical Review
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1 - APPLICATION
The ANTRON II-s equipment belongs to a generation of signaling and alarm equipment,
with control, supervision and remote operation resources.
It is recommended for any type of installation in which one wishes to be advised by means
of visual and audible indications. Because it is microprocessor-based equipment,
ANTRON II-s is sufficiently adaptable to meet practically all configurations required for
each type of application.
2 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
This equipment aims to meet the functional requirements of energy utilities and industries,
offering a high degree of modularity, reliability and performance, associated with a low cost
for supply, installation and maintenance.
The main objective of this equipment is monitoring the conditions of processes, signaling
the occurrence of abnormal situations.
Signaling may obey a sequence established by a standard, with the following sequences
available for the user to choose from: A(ISA 1), A-5 (ISA 1A), M (ISA 2C), M-5 (ISA 2D),
R-8 (ISA 2A), R-10, F1A (ISA 4A), SYSTEM F, A5M, MM, R8S, A5MC e A5MP. The
sequence that is chosen may be programmed at the factory or it may be field
programmed, if the client has the available application software .
The ANTRON II-s employs memory with an internal battery, which prevents it from losing
programming data even in the absence of external power. Thanks to this aspect, the
ANTRON II-s can go for as long as 1 year without external power. However, a log of
events will be lost because it is stored in RAM memory with no battery.
As for the number of points, the client has various configurations available: 16, 24, 32, 48,
56, 64, 80, 88 or 96 points.
Basically, the ANTRON II-s receives signals arising from the action of external electrical
contacts, associated with equipment or systems that one wishes to supervise, through
contacts (NO or NC) that initiate its logic, processing the specified sequence.
As one can see on the block diagram on the next page, the monitored points feed into the
ANTRON II-s through peripheral cards, with each of these cards able to receive signals
from up to 8 external points (with the exception of peripheral card 1, for which the first
point is for indicating the CC fault or DC fault and the remaining are alarm points).
Therefore, if the ANTRON II-s has 23 active points + 1 CC fault this shows that it has 3
peripheral cards, and if it has 95 active points + 1 CC fault point this shows that it has 12
peripheral cards, and so on. Any abnormal condition will give rise to the generation of
local visual and audible alarms, as well as this information appearing on the computer
screen, if the client has the application software and is connected to a PC. Each input
point for the ANTRON II-s can have a retransmission contact for remote signaling or for
initiating complementary operations.
All of the peripheral cards are connected to an LED card. The reference voltages that
come from the ANTRON II-s internal power supply are also connected to this same card,
and so is the CPU card. The CPU card receives signals from all of the peripherals,
processes the information and generates an algorithm that is stored in internal memory.
This algorithm returns information to the peripherals with commands to be followed (close
repeater contact, open repeater contact, flash the LED, switch on the LED, switch off the
LED, etc).
The CPU card also receives user commands, through the membrane keyboard or the
remote inputs. It also houses the internal buzzer, which will be activated whenever an
abnormal condition occurs at any of the supervised points.
Whenever the internal buzzer is activated, the buzzer repeater relay also changes state,
allowing the activation of another signal such as: external lamp or buzzer, etc.
If there is a DC power supply failure, the CC fault (DC fault) repeater relay changes state,
allowing the activation of another signal such as an external lamp or buzzer, etc., at the
same time as the visual signal for channel 1 is switched on. This LED for channel 1 will be
supplied by an AC voltage that is applied to pins 8 and 9 on the CPU.
The ANTRON II-s has a self-diagnosis function, that is, it tests itself internally, and if an
internal fault takes place (the microcontroller failing, for example) the ANTRON II-s warns
externally by means of a repeater contact and an Active CPU LED (if the LED remains on
or off the CPU is malfunctioning and if the LED is blinking the CPU is normal).
The ANTRON II-s can communicate with a PC through an available RS232 or RS485
interface. There is detailed application software described in the software manual
ANT2V2.
By means of inputs available on the CPU card it is possible to operate the ANTRON II-s
remotely.

6 ANNUNCIATOR SEQUENCES
The sequences are programmed by means of a PC. They are standards that
indicate changes in process conditions, through different visual signaling states and
operation functions.
The ANTRON II-s is prepared to follow any of the sequences shown in the drawing
below, and each active point can follow a sequence determined by the client.
NOTE:
In addition to the
sequences
shown to the left,
there are others
available on
demand.
Key to Symbols:
Thus, for example, if the client wishes to know which was the first alarm giving rise to
a failure, we see from the table that he will choose sequence F1A, since in this
sequence only the first alarm will blink, while the others will remain continuously on.
In this manner, each application has a sequence that is most appropriate for usage.
7 APPLICATION SOFTWARE
If the client so desires, he may acquire the ANTRON II-s application software in order
to remotely follow the ANTRON II-s activity on-line, as well as operate the equipment
or alter programming data.
This software is composed of a main screen where the current states of the active
points and buzzer are viewed. One also views the current state of the ANTRON II-s
when there is communication between the ANTRON II-s and the PC.
All commands effected by the operator (test, acknowledge, etc.), can be performed
through the application software.
On the main screen there are commands that access various menus.
The first menu F1 (PROG) allows the operator to program all of the ANTRON II-s
active points, each one separately (polarity NO/NC, existence and sequence). A
password is required for accessing this menu, so that only authorized operators may
access the programming.
On the next menu F2 (INFO), one has the information for the commands listed on the
main screen.
On another menu F4, we can edit all of the text messages that appear on the front
panel of the ANTRON II-s, so that, in the event of an alarm, a message will appear to
the operator describing what happened.
On another menu F7, the 2000 most recent events can be viewed, as well as the
month, day, time, minute and second when they happened.
For more information about the software, see the specific manual. If the user wants
this software, it must be requested during the purchasing process.
