1.5 POWER SUPPLY.
The Communication Interface is fed through the connector, by means of a 9V DC/0.5A external feeder.
Polarity shown has to be observed.
There is a green indicator light showing that the equipment is fed and its performance is correct.
During the first five seconds, the indicator light flashes to show that it can be recognized by the
customizer, before starting the normal operation.

2CUSTOMIZATION OF THE EQUIPMENT.
Customization of the Communication Interface is carried out through the programme “Interface
Customizer”(AGE42IDC).
2.1 PORT SELECTION.
After running the application, the following window is shown where we will select the communication port
we are going to use for communication with the Communication Interface and then press the button
“Next”.
A communication port which is present in the PC should be selected, otherwise an error message will be
shown.
It also allows to select the language used for the programme operation.

Ae-man-817-0.0 v2.3 10 AGUILERA ELECTRONICA
AE/SA-IDC AE/SA-GAT COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
2.2 EQUIPMENT DETECTION.
In this step the programme tries to communicate with the AE/SA-IDC or AE/SA-GAT communication
Interface through the communication port selected in the previous step. Steps to be followed are shown
on the screen.
If communication is successful, the present equipment customization can be red to allow to be modified in
later steps.
Otherwise, the process can be repeated by pressing the button “Detect” or back to the previous step and
selecting another communication port if we have made a mistake.
NOTE:Unless the interface has not been customized, it is necessary to switch the equipment off and
then switch it on again. Press the button “Detect” before 5 seconds for the customizer to detect the
interface correctly. During these first 5 seconds, the interface remains in a special mode of configuration,
“listening” in its two ports the arrival of a customizer command. If no command arrives after some
seconds, the equipment will be reset automatically and starts to operate according to its customization.

2.3 SELECTION OF THE WORK MODE.
In this step, the programme shows the currently configured work mode in the equipment, allowing us to
leave it or select another of the modes available.
Operation modes available change depending on the type of Communication Interface, AE/SA-IDC or
AE/SA-GAT.
Only operation modes available for the hardware detected are shown to be active.

AE/SA-IDC AE/SA-GAT COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
2.4 ORIGIN OF THE DATA.
The customizer programme allows us to choose the origin of the data to be used in order to carry out the
equipment customization.
•Editing a new customization initialized with default values, according to the work mode
selected.
•Editing the customization that the equipment is already provided with, maintaining the same
work mode but allowing some of the values to be modified.
•Obtaining a previously created customization from a file, that was saved for a later use or as
a back-up copy
•Use the classic customization for MODBUS,- COMPATIBILITY WITH VERSION 1.0 – Allows
the compatibility of equipments with firmware V2.0 or higher in installations where there are
equipments with firmware series 1. Same addresses base for the register sub-table are
automatically applied.
Only options adapting to the existing customization in the equipment and the work mode selected will be
available.

AE/SA-IDC AE/SA-GAT COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
2.5 COMMUNICATION SUPERVISION.
Algorithmic central units with firmware version v3.0 and higher are provided with a supervision device
allowing for failure signalization in the communications with third-party equipments.
As a general rule, enabling this option is recommendable as any failure in the communications between
the Interface and the integration equipment will be reported to the central unit to be properly signalized.
This option can only be enabled if the equipment is connected to a central unit with firmware version v3.0
or higher.
