DBS11633 How to use the VDR Explorer Configuration Creator tool for decoding RDI data
2 System overview
RDI 24-001D samples the signals on its input ports and generates proprietary “NMEA sentences”
containing the data. The sentences are transmitted to the VDR using serial and/or Ethernet
communication.
The RDI 24-001D is not a VDR core module. This means that the RDI 24-001D does not download
its program code and configuration from the VDR, and that it must be configured locally using a PC
with an Ethernet interface and an Internet browser.
The RDI 24-001D may be powered from the VDR if connected to a PoE port on the DPU. An
external power supply is required for RDIs which are connected to a LAN/SIU port or a serial input
on the DPU.
RDIs (RDI 24-001D and RDI 08-001A) may be connected in a daisy chain; i.e. a number of RDIs
may be connected, utilizing only one port on the VDR.
RDI 24-001D supports SWAP. This means that a defective RDI 24-001D can easily be replaced
without having to reconfigure the new RDI. This is done by moving a micro SD card containing the
configuration from the defective RDI to the new RDI.
3 Installation
The RDI 24-001D may be installed on, for example, a bulkhead using the mounting angles supplied
with the product. The RDI may also be installed on a DIN rail – this option requires p/n 3303690-10
“DIN rail clip for RDIs and VRI-002”.
The cables to the RDI must be secured properly using, for example, a strain relief plate and cable
ties.
As an alternative, Danelec can supply cabinets for holding two, four or ten RDIs
The RDI must not be installed in a small compartment with insufficient ventilation.
The only exception is where the RDI 24-001D is installed close to the DM100 VDR DAU – if that
is the case, it is acceptable to use a standard prefabricated RJ45-RJ45 STP patch cable from the RDI
to the DAU.
* The shield on the cable used for transmitting data to the VDR must be connected to the VDR DAU.
It is technically possible to make longer daisy chains and/or daisy chains containing more than nine
RDIs – contact Danelec Marine A/S for technical advice if this is required.
RxA and RxB: Used for receipt of data from the daisy chain.
The RJ45 socket is typically used for connecting the RDI to one of the LAN ports or the SIU port
on the DM100 DPU.
The Wago connector is used for connecting the RDI to the RDI or RVI port on the DM100 DPU. In
this case, the VDR is able supply power to the RDI.
3.4.3 SWAP
See section 3.10.
3.4.4.3 RX LED
The RX LED flickers when data is received from the daisy chain. The LED blinks (2Hz) when the
RDI is in configuration mode.
3.4.4.4 TX LED
The TX LED flickers when data is transmitted to the VDR or to the daisy chain. The LED blinks
(2Hz) when the RDI is in configuration mode.
3.4.5 Reset
A paper clip or similar may be used to reset the RDI to a special configuration mode. The reset
switch behind the small hole in the front panel must be pressed for about three seconds. While in
this mode, the SWAP, RX and TX LED blinks (2Hz).
The IP address of the RDI will be forced to 10.0.0.254/255.255.255.0. If the RDI is connected to the
VDR using the 6-way Wago 3.81mm on the front, disconnect that cable before pressing reset.
Low threshold: Vin < 1.5V VDC = Low, Vin > 3.0VDC = high
Vin < 1.0V VAC = Low, Vin > 2.0VAC = high (50/60Hz)
High threshold: Vin < 15V VDC = Low, Vin > 25VDC = high
Vin < 10V VAC = Low, Vin > 18VAC = high (50/60Hz)
Important notice: Do not connect more than one power source to the RDI 24-001D!
3.10 SWAP
RDI 24-001D supports SWAP, i.e. a defective RDI 24-001D can easily be replaced without having
to reconfigure the new RDI. This is done by moving the micro SD card containing the configuration
from the defective RDI to the new RDI.
The IP address of the RDI is probably set to default (10.0.0.254/255.255.255.0) if the RDI 24-001D
is connected to the VDR using serial link. The IP address may be changed if an Ethernet link is
used. If the IP address is unknown, use the reset switch at the front panel for resetting the IP address
temporarily to default (10.0.0.254/255.255.255.0)
Maximum allowed number of characters in the TX FIFO when forwarding “own data”.
5 VDR Configuration
5.1 Serial link
If the default parameters in the in the RDI 24-001D related to the serial link are unchanged, a serial
interface on the VDR for an RDI 24-001D must be configured as described below:
- If the RDI 24-001D is connected to the RDI port on the DM100 DPU, the UDP port must be 3000.
- If the RDI 24-001D is connected to the RVI port on the DM100 DPU, the UDP port must be 3001.
- If the RDI 24-001D is connected to the RVI port on the DM100 DPU, the UDP port must be 3002.
- If the RDI 24-001D is connected to a LAN port or the SIU port on the DM100 DPU, the UDP port
may be custom configured (the default is 3003).
For management purposes, the RDI 24-001D will send its configuration to the VDR every ten
minutes (configurable), and sentences containing information about errors may also be sent.

the 24 input ports.
0 voltage sense, 1 contact closure
E.g. 000001 Input DI00 is set to contact closure mode. All others are set to voltage sense mode.
P1: Six hex encoded characters showing whether threshold is low or high for each of the 24 input
ports.
0 threshold low, 1 threshold high
E.g. 800000 Threshold for DI23 is set to high. Thresholds for all others are set to low.

The third field is currently empty and is reserved for future use.
BIT 0 RX_sentence_timeout
The start of a sentence was received but the complete sentence was not received within the specified
time. The most probable cause is transmission errors or that xyz is set to low
BIT 1 RX_sentence_too_long
A sentence which was more than 82 characters long was received. The most probably cause is
transmission errors.
BIT 2 RX_sentence_incomplete
The start of a sentence was received but the complete sentence was not received. The most probable
cause is transmission errors.
BIT 3 RX_sentence_missing_start
The start ($) of the sentence was not received but the complete sentence was not received. The most
probable cause is transmission errors.
BIT 4 RX_duplicate_device_ID
Two RDIs with the same device ID exist in the daisy chain. A transmission error may also be the
cause of this error.
BIT 5 RX_ovfl_device_ID
The daisy chain contains more than fifteen RDIs which are configured to auto-generate their device
ID. A transmission error may also be the cause of this error.
BIT 6 RX_error_device_ID
An invalid device ID is detected. The most probably cause is transmission errors.
BIT 8 RX_FIFO_overflow
The parameters for the daisy chain are set incorrectly.
BIT 10 TX_owndata_buffer_full
The RDI was unable to send its own data. The parameters for the daisy chain are set incorrectly
BIT 11 TX_status_buffer_full
The RDI was unable to send its status and configuration parameters
The parameters for the daisy chain are set incorrectly.
BIT 14 TX_ETH_FIFO_full
The queue for data to be transmitted on the Ethernet link became too long. This should never
happen due to the high bandwidth of Ethernet. The most probable cause is a physical error, for
example the cabling.
BIT 15 TX_ETH_FIFO_flushed
The queue for data to be transmitted on the Ethernet link became too long. This should never
happen due to the high bandwidth of Ethernet. The most probable cause is a physical error, for
example the cabling.

The VCC tool is a Windows application which may be installed from the manual CD supplied with
the product.
2) An Excel sheet which contains data related to the installation, primarily a description (label) for
the sensors connected to the RDI. A template (VCC template for RDIs V10.xlsx) is included on the
manual CD supplied with the product. Note that the Excel file will have to be saved as a comma
separated file (.CSV) before it can be loaded into the VCC tool.
If Bit(#5,{bit}) = 0
Print "{text _when_low}"
Stop
Endif
If Bit(#5,{bit}) = 1
Print "{text_when_high}"
Stop
Endif
Value #{field}
The template is an Excel sheet with 16 columns. Only “yellow” cells must be changed. The
template has sections of rows for two RDI 24-001D and RDI 08-001A. However, “copy and paste”
may be used to modify the sheet to cover any combination of RDIs. Note that the sheet contains
some examples which must be deleted or overwritten.

8 Connection diagrams
9 Installation drawing
The classical way of connecting dry contact to a digital interface, is to use a common power supply
for the digital interface and the dry contact. The RDI 24-001 supports this.
The digital interfaces on the RDI 24-001 will supply power to the dry contacts when mode is
configured to “Contact closure”.
(The digital interfaces on the RDI 24-001 must be configured to “Contact closure”.)
