I. Introduction
Our Master Station is a ready-to-work solution which eases the command and control of
large quantities of motor operated valves by the mean of a fieldbus. t will help you saving
time and resources.
t is an interface located between the DCS and the actuators, which can replace your
standard industrial computer. Because BERNARD CONTROLS Master Station is already set
up, you will save precious time during the commissioning phase. Just cable it and the
system is quickly ready to work! Overall start up time of your site is now reduced to the
minimum.
Our Master Station is also able to work without the DCS. n case of default of your DCS or if
you do not want to include one in your installation, you can still communicate with your
actuators through the Master Station’s manual control, from the color touch screen. You
can thus keep the control of your valves even if the DCS is on hold or disconnected.
The Master Station is able to interface with a monitoring computer (optional) to control
directly valves' automation. This PC workstation, equipped with specific software, allows
to operate the MOVs and to retrieve data and alarms from the field units.
By choosing the PC workstation, you opt for greater user friendliness. ndeed, we can work
together on demand to schematize your installation in the software interface so as to
overview all the actuators of your site easily. And for simple use, the software is available
in English, French, Spanish, German and talian.

5
n order to ensure secure management of your site, considering the several control units, a
control hierarchy is set up. The standard control priority is defined from the closest device
to actuators, to the device which is the farthest:
Actuators > MS > PC workstation > DCS
The consequence is that if an opposite order is received at the same moment from the
Master Station and from the DCS, the priority order is the one coming from the Master
Station.

II. Mounting and connecting our Master Station
a. Mechanical fixing
Master Station MS212 is composed of two 19-inch racks.
They must be installing in a 19-inch cabinet, one above the other. t is better to put the
rack ‘PLC1’ above the rack ‘PLC2’. Use M6 screws to fix those (8 by rack).
All connections are accessible inside the racks, so unscrew the two screws on the right of
the panel to open it.
For make wiring easier there is a hole on the back side for the passage of the cables.

b. Power suppl
Each rack is supplied separately. Power supply is wired on unit D1 and the switch must be
on ‘ON’. Earth is wired on the Earth Terminal.
Voltage: 115 VAC (+10%, -30%)
230 VAC (+10%, -30%)
Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz
Electrical power consumption: 75 W for each rack
c. Links between the two racks
To assure the redundancy of the system there are any links between the two racks of the
Master Station MS202. First there is a link between the two PLC which allows to transfer
the data corresponding to the commands and the signals from the actuators, and to
diagnose the status of the Master Station itself.
Then, there is a link between two Ethernet concentrators which assures the
communication between the DCS and the two PLC even there is just one DCS line.
At last, the Ethernet concentrators have a redundant power supply input which allows
them to keep powered on even if one rack is powered off.

i. Link between the PLC
To link the both PLC together take the cable labeled Profibus 2 (which is provided) and
plug its two 9 ways D-type connector on the PROFIBUS input of the both units labeled M3,
after you had opened their cover.
ii. Ethernet redundanc
To assure the redundancy of the communication of the DCS with the both PLC there is a
link between the both Ethernet concentrators.
So, take the cable labeled ETH 3 (which is provided) and plug its two RJ-45 connectors on
a free port of the both Ethernet concentrators labeled M9.

n addition there is redundant power input on the Ethernet concentrators; they are each
powered on by the both Power supply labeled M8.
So you have to wire as shown below.
For more details refer to wiring diagram S94400175.

d. Communication with the DCS
The Master Station MS202 is made up of two Master Station racks, which each possess an
RS485 communication input for the Modbus RTU link and an Ethernet communication input
for the Modbus TCP link.
These inputs provide a redundant communications system between the DCS and the Master
Station MS202.
Reminder: Communications are made either by the Modbus RTU protocol or by Modbus
TCP, so refer the part i. Modbus RTU communication or ii. Modbus TCP communication.
The DCS can communicate indifferently by either of these two ways.
For more information about the Modbus communication refer to the SPEB 1246 Functional
Analysis of the Modbus communication on the Master Station MS202.
i. Modbus RTU communication
The Modbus RTU connection is via the 9 ways D-type connector of the M7 module inside
the Master Station.
Physical description:

Transmission medium: Single pair armoured cable
Connection: female 9 ways D-type

Terminating resistances:
To eliminate echo phenomena on the line, terminating resistances of 120 Ohms must be
placed on the ends of the bus, the best solution being to put them directly in the SUB-D9
connector.
Communication parameters:
Type of protocol: Master Station is the Modbus RTU slave
Transmission speed: 50 to 921.6Kbits/s
Parity: odd, even, none
Slave address: 1 to 254
ii. Modbus TCP configuration
The Modbus TCP connection is via the RJ-45 connector of the Switch Ethernet labeled M9
inside the Master Station or via the RJ-45 port on the front panel.

e. Communication with the Web Server
n each rack there is a Web Server including any Web pages, so there is a TCP/ P
connection to access to these pages. This connection is via the RJ-45 connector of the
Switch Ethernet labeled M9 inside the Master Station.

f. Communication with the actuators – Profibus DP V1
The Master Station MS202 is an interface between DCS and actuators who manages the
redundancy. So, each rack manages a Profibus line. The fieldbus network must be correctly
cabled and connected to the Master Station via the D-type connector of the X2 DP input of
the M2 module.
Physical description:

Connection: S EMENS S MAT C BUSCONNECTOR (ref: 6ES7 972-0BB52-0XA0)
Communication parameters:
Type of protocol in use: Profibus DP V1
Transmission speed: 93.75Kbits/s
Salve address: 1 to 122
For more information refer to the NR1150 Profibus DP V1 for ntelli+.
g. Communication with the PC Workstation
The Master Station is able to interface with a monitoring computer (optional) to control
directly valves’ automation. This PC Workstation, equipped with specific software, allows
you to operate the MOVs and to retrieve data and alarms from the field units.
To know how the PC Workstation is interfacing with the Master Station refer to the NR 11xx
PC Workstation for MS202 – Technical Manual.

III. Setting up the Modbus RTU communication
You can change the Modbus slave address of each rack of the Master Station MS202, the
available address are included between 1 and 254.
To manage the Modbus RTU communication the Master Station MS202 is equipped with two
Modbus RTU/TCP gateways, so there are 2 P address reserved for each rack (by default it
is 192.168.94.181 for the rack 1 and 192.168.94.183 for the rack 2).
f you want to change the Modbus slave address refer to the part b. Setting up the Modbus
slave address with the Touch Screen.
But, if you want to change the P address refer to the part c. Setting up the Modbus
RTU/TCP gatewa .
a. Default parameters
The defaults parameters are shown below:
Transmission speed: 19200 bauds
Format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
Communication protocol: Modbus RTU
Rack 1 Modbus address: 2
Rack 2 Modbus address: 4
As shown before, if you only want to change the Modbus slave address refer to the part
b. Setting up the Modbus slave address with the Touch Screen.
But, if you want to change the Transmission speed or the format refer to the part
c. Setting up the Modbus RTU/TCP gatewa .
b. Setting up the Modbus slave address with the touch screen
To change the Modbus address of a rack you must be logged in to the Master Station with
the Maintenance account. To see how log in refer to the part VII. Touch screen.

1. From the main page touch the MS button or press F4.
2. Touch the Tool button or press F2.
3. Touch the field who want to change, Modbus Address 1 or 2. A virtual Keyboard will
appear so enter the value and touch the Enter button. Then, touch the Valid button or
press F4. You can return to the main page by touching the Return button or by pressing
F1.

When you validate your choice it will reboot the device, so the link between the PLC and
the server web on the main page will blinking in red. Wait few seconds that the device
restarts successfully.
The Master Station is now ready to run with the news parameters.
