This operating manual is part of the device. It must be kept in the vicinity of the controller as well as for
future use so that it can be consulted when required. The operating manual must be available for the
operating and maintenance personnel at any time for the avoidance of operating errors, see chapter
Requirements for the personnel.
For safety reasons, the equipment must not be used for any applications other than described in the
operating manual and only for the intended use, see chapter Intended Use.
Before using the device, check whether it is suitable for your application with regard to its limit values.
Note the maximum load of the relay contacts, see chapter Specifications of System Centre and SIOX.
Before connecting the device, it must be checked whether the power supply is suitable for the device.
When using uncoded plug connectors, it is possible to connect them so that there is a danger to life and
limb! If this cannot be ruled out, coded plug connectors must be used.
Specified environmental conditions (e.g. humidity and temperature limits) must be observed and complied
with. Otherwise, malfunctions are possible (see chapter Specifications of System Centre and SIOX.
Before switching on the device, check correct wiring of the connections.
Opening the device is not authorised!
Contact the supplier in the case of any malfunction.
The safety regulations, instructions and information described in this chapter must be strictly observed
and complied with. During repairs on the entire E*LDS system, the accident prevention regulations and


1. According to experience, transmission of alarms is not yet functional during commissioning (no
telephone line laid etc.). It is strongly recommended in such cases to monitor the controller via the
CAN bus using a system centre or an operator terminal and to enable transmission of alarms using a
GSM modem via a mobile telephone system. In standalone operation, or as an alternative to
monitoring with system centre / operator terminal, an available alarm contact on the controller must be
used to realise transmission of alarms via a telephone network.
2. After the setting up of transmission of alarms or alarm signalling, this must be tested and checked
for its function.

3 System centre system design
CI 4000 series system centre with touchscreen.
3.1 Application
The system centres in the CI 4000 series are intended for installation in control panels. They are available in
various expansion stages and their range of functions is enabled using licence codes. The system centres
include the following models: CI 4000, CI 4100, CI 4400 and CI 4500; see chapter Tasks and functions for
details about the functions. The system centre is the centre of the E*LDS system and is used for central
parametrisation, configuration, display of operating data, messages and alarms of all E*LDS system
components. It can be operated using the touch screen and/or remotely using a host system computer and/or
service PC locally with the LDSWin PC software; for details see Operation and access to the system centre.
The data for all connected E*LDS system components are exchanged via the CAN bus. Alarms and messages
of E*LDS system components and the inclusion of external alarms from the installation and their retransmission
by LAN, modem or SMS can be realised.
The system centre is equipped with internal storage for data archiving of operating data and states, alarms and
messages, energy data or for logging of temperature and EU archives (HACCP). Optionally, up to maximum 4
extension modules (SIOX = Serial IO Extension) can be connected so that an additional 48 digital inputs and 32
relay outputs are available. Furthermore, the system centre has extensive wiring options and interfaces; see
chapter Connections in the complete design for details of these.
On account of its extended range of functions, the CI 4000 series is now designated as "system centre"; the
earlier "store computer" designation is dropped. The system centres in the CI 4000 series are compatible with
the CI 3000 and CI 3100 "store computers" and are intended as replacement device for these predecessor
models.
All explanations of the "System Centre CI 4000" named in this document also always describe all
models of the system centre in the CI 4000 series. Any differences in function or features between
these models are only explained where they have an effect. The main feature differences are
described in more detail in chapter Expansion stages of the CI 4000 series.

4 System centre functions
4.1 Tasks and functions
Functions starting with CI 4000 and higher
Central parametrisation and configuration of all E*LDS components via the CAN bus / Modbus:
all E*LDS components can be operated and configured remotely via the controller (see operating manual
"Basics and general security and connection instructions").
Central display of operating data, 24h lists, messages and alarms of all E*LDS components.
Central and system-wide change of the user language during running operation.
Monitoring of the CAN bus / Modbus and the operational readiness of all E*LDS components:
appropriate alarms are generated in the event of faults and failure of the CAN bus / Modbus or failure of
E*LDS components.
Monitoring of external alarms and logging of meters via the two digital inputs or of up to 12 digital inputs
using a SIOX extension module.
Remote alarm signalling of the E*LDS system, alarm is signalled to fault indicator centre using modem,
GSM, SMS, FAX and network.
Alarm is signalled of alarms and messages of the controller and of the E*LDS system:
viatwoalarmcontactsPrio1/Prio2,
via audible internal signal generator (buzzer),
ViaoptionalconfigurablemultifunctionrelayAUX(parameter“Horn”)and
Alarm signalling by flashing the touchscreen when screensaver is activated.
Control of up to 8 relay outputs of a SIOX extension module using week timers.
Central time synchronisation (time server):
The date and time can be adjusted system-wide using the controller. It also cyclically synchronises the
internal clocks of all E*LDS components via the CAN bus. For this, the system centre has a real-time clock
with power reserve that supports the automatic changeover between summer and winter time.
Energy management:
Electricity, water, gas, heat and event meters with pulse output (S0), can be connected or also M-bus
meters using the M-bus gateway. The controller determines and archives the current output or the
throughput and the daily energy requirement or consumption.
Load shedding manager (LAM ):
The Load Shedding Manager can be configured for up to 20 shedding points and optimises the power
consumption of the installation / building control system within a load optimising interval of 15 minutes.
Remote maintenance of the installation / store via a central computer (PC) with the PC software LDSWin.

5 Function of System Centre
5.1 Starting Characteristics
The following are distinguished for any start-up of the controller:
First start - Reset System
Restart - Restart of the controller
5.1.1 First start - Reset System
Reset to delivery condition (factory settings), see Menu 4-1-11 - Reset System:
All data will be completely removed from the system!
The system centre will be restarted twice
5.1.2 Restart - Restart of the controller
For a restart, the device is restarted with all configured parameters. A restart can be initiated using the following
procedure:
Menu 4-1-11 - Reset Systemor
disconnectionandreconnectionofthepowersupply,seechapterSwitching on system centre.
5.2 Configuration of the E*LDS system using the LDSWin PC software
The system centre and all components connected to it can be conveniently configured using a PC with the
LDSWin PC software. This also includes the possibility to read out the configurations of all components and
store them on the PC ("Save parameter sets" function). Thus, in the case of any required replacement of a
component, the configuration can be written back to the replacement device. Further information for this can be
found in the LDSWin operating instruction.
For local configuration, the system centre is connected via null modem cable (EAG No. PCZKABSER2) to the
PC/laptop.
In addition, for the purpose of remote adjustment and maintenance, the system centre can also be operated
using a PC via a modem and via a network. The system centre can be used for the storage of store-specific
data from LDSWin so that the same layout can be used for different LDSWin installations.
A configurable TCP/IP port is used for the communication with LDSWIN. This can be freely selected from the
range of free ports (1024 - 65535) in accordance with the network conditions. As standard, LDSWin uses the
port 5000: 192.168.161.66:5000 (see menu 4-1-5).
Risk of loss of data and the configuration! All saved data and configurations of the system centre
are irrevocably lost during deletion of the archives (operating and energy data), the alarm and
message list as well as during reset to factory settings!

For more details, see chapter Configuration of the E*LDS system with service PC locally, page 44
Configuration of the E*LDS system using Service PC locally. The operating manual for the LDSWin PC
sofware can be found in E°EDP.
