3. INSTALLATION
THE TLE3100C02 MODULE CONTAINS ELECTRONIC DEVICES SENSITIVE TO
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. Always use antistatic bags clearly identified
with a high degree of shielding for storage and transportation.
The TLE3100C02 module is composed of two parts: one TLE3100P01 main board and one
TLE3000P02 rear board. Both parts must be installed in a UR3000 or UR3100 mounting
frame following the instructions in the corresponding section of this chapter.
3.1. Initial inspection
Verify that the package has been properly handled during transport. After opening the
packaging, check that one TLE3100P01 main board and one TLE3000P02 rear board are
inside.
You must notify your Albalá Ingenieros distributor or dealer of any damage or defects
observed.
Follow the instructions in this manual to install this module in the mounting frame.
3.2. Safety instructions
•This equipment must be connected to a mains outlet with a protective
earth connection. Never use extension cords that do not have protective
earthing connection. The lack of an effective electrical connection between
the ground pin in the mains input connector of the equipment and the
protective earth of the electrical power distribution can cause serious harm.
•All modules of the Albalá Ingenieros TL3000 terminal line can be
hot-plugged or unplugged without suffering any damage or affecting the
processes that are currently taking place in other modules in the same
mounting frame. When a module is installed in an empty bay of a mounting
frame, it is necessary to mount the rear board that is part of that module.
Prior to installing this board, the mounting frame must be disconnected
from the power supply network. This is required because in addition to the
risk of electrocution for the person handling the device it is possible that a
high instantaneous current coming from the power supply could damage
the connectors and components of the mounting frame and/or the rear
board.

Albalá Ingenieros | Manual TLE3100C02
•The TLE3100C02 module and the mounting frame should always be
installed, maintained, operated and removed by personnel with sufficient
technical qualifications. The equipment should never be placed in damp
areas, near splashing liquid, or in explosive or corrosive atmospheres.
Neither modules nor mounting frames can be used in applications that
could endanger human life.
3.3. Safety information regarding lithium batteries
The TLE3100C02 module contains a lithium battery to keep the internal clock running
while the equipment remains off.
•Danger of explosion exists if the battery is replaced incorrectly. The battery
contains lithium and can explode if misused, handled or installed
incorrectly. Replace only with an equivalent CR2032 type.
In no case should the battery be:
- Thrown or immersed in water.
- Heated to more than 100° C.
- Repaired, disassembled or recharged.
Dispose of used batteries according to local laws. If there are no regulations on the
matter, deposit the battery in a the appropriate container for this type of waste for
recycling.
3.4. Environmental considerations
This symbol indicates that this equipment must be deposited at a collection
point for proper waste treatment once it has reached the end of its useful
life.
3.5. Installing the module in the mounting frame
The steps needed to install the TLE3100C02 module with the rear board in the mounting
frame are:
1 - Disconnect all power cords from the power supplies of the mounting frame.
2 - Remove the blank panels covering the front and rear of the empty bays chosen for
installing the TLE3100C02 in the mounting frame.
3 - Install the TLE3000P02 rear board ensuring that its 12-pin connectors are properly
aligned with the mounting frame´s mating connectors. Check that the orientation of
the board is correct by looking at the placement of the text printed on it according to

Rear view of the TLE3100C02
The POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT connector provides a re-settable fuse protected,
unregulated +6V output with a reference to chassis ground and capable of supplying up
to 750mA.
The Ethernet connector allows connection to a suitable LAN. A pin-to-pin cable is
required in order to connect the module to a hub or a switch. To connect the module
directly to a LAN port a crossover cable is required, with the transmission and reception
pairs swapped as shown in the following diagram.

The TLE3100C02 includes a 48V DC power supply that can power external control
equipment from Albalá Ingenieros. Power is supplied using the spare pairs of the RJ45
connector.
The module will not supply the 48V until it has identified the equipment connected and
has confirmed that this equipment is prepared to receive power through the connector.
Once the 48V power supply has been activated the TLE3100C02 maintains it until an
output overload (output over-current) is detected or until the TLE3100C02 detects that
the external equipment has been disconnected.
The power supply interface is similar to Power over Ethernet (PoE), however it does not
comply with the requirements of IEEE std 802.3af for Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
The power supply has been designed for use with equipment designed by Albalá
Ingenieros only and must not be used with other devices not designed by Albalá
Ingenieros. Albalá Ingenieros does not assume any responsibility for improper use of this
power supply.
The connector labeled TIA-EIA-232-F/TIA-EIA-485-A is a serial port whose electrical levels
can be set to either of these standards using program jumpers found on the main board
of the TLE3100C02. Different cable types that can be constructed based upon the needs
of the application are shown below:
When connecting equipment to a TIA-EIA-485-A bus the end points of the bus must be
terminated with 120Ω. This can be done with resistors soldered between pins 2 and 3
and then pins 7 and 8 of the corresponding connectors.

Module remote control and supervision
4.3. Module remote control and supervision
The main function of the communications control module is to interface between a
10/100 Ethernet port, an EIA-RS232 or an EIA-RS485 serial port and the internal bus of
the mounting frame. The following illustration shows the most common control
situations: from a computer or control panel via Ethernet, from a computer via an
EIA-RS232 serial port and from a control panel via an EIA-RS485 serial port.
TL3000 modules includes control and status registers for remote configuration and
supervision. Registers differ among the various module types and are described in the
user manual of each module. The set of commands used to access these registers, the
TL3000 protocol, is described as follows.
Software for simple configuration and supervision with a GUI for multiple modules can
be downloaded from the Albalá Ingenieros website.

Albalá Ingenieros | Manual TLE3100C02
4.3.1. The TL3000 protocol
This proprietary protocol is based on a series of control commands for recognition and
modification of the registers of various TL3000 modules. The TLE3100C02 module
accepts data in this format through the serial port and through the TCP and UDP 3000
ports.
Within the TL3000 protocol one machine acting as the client (computer) requests
information from the TLE3100C02 module which acts as the server. Messages
between the client and the server are governed by the following rules:
All messages consist of:
-An identifier for the action to be performed by the message, referred to as the
command (always using an ASCII character in lower case).
-Three bytes: two that contain the address of the mounting frame and one that
contains the slot where they are directed or from where they originate if the
message is a response.
- A variable number of parameters.
- Two bytes with the checksum.
- One byte with an ASCII character {LF} (0x0Ah).
All the messages directed to the mounting frame where the TLE3100C02 module is
installed receive a response from the module.
The address of the mounting frame can be between 1 and 32. The two bytes
transmitted are obtained by separating the value of the address into two nibbles and
summing 0x30h to each one. The first byte transmitted contains the higher value
nibble. All commands received by the TLE3100C02 module via the Ethernet interface
directed to mounting frame 0 are treated as if they were directed to the mounting
frame in which the module is installed.
The slot numbers run from 1 to 14. The byte transmitted is obtained by summing
0x30h and the slot number. Commands send to Slot 15 are sent to all the modules in
the mounting frame so that any modules that need the commands can use them. The
modules never send responses to commands sent to Slot 15. All commands sent to
Slot 0 receive a response from the TLE3100C02 module as if they had been directed to
it.
Parameters are always values between 0 and 255 (one byte) that are coded for
transmission as two bytes. The two bytes transmitted are obtained by separating the
value of the byte into two nibbles and summing 0x30h to each one. The byte with the
higher value is the first one transmitted.
The checksum is a value between 0 and 255 (one byte) that is obtained by summing
modulus 256 all the bytes that form the command except for the actual checksum
and the {LF}. The bytes transmitted are obtained using a process similar to the
previously explained.
