1.3. DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM.
1.3.1. Introduction.
The SALICRU devices are usually installed in locations far away
from the area of production, which means that information pro-
vided by the device about its status can often be overlooked. The
NIMBUS card solves this problem by offering a remote mainte-
nance service that provides real-time information about the current
status of the device.
Remote communication with the device enables maintenance and
repair work to be carried out without the need to travel to the in-
stallation site to find out about its status.
The functionalities of the NIMBUS card are specially designed to
work with SALICRU devices, making it currently compatible with
the following series:
•DC POWER-S
•DC POWER-L
•SLS CUBE3 / CUBE3+
•SLC CUBE4
•EMI3
•SLC ADAPT/X
•SLC ADAPT2
•SLC X-PERT
•SLC X-TRA
•SLC TWIN RT2
•SLC TWIN PRO2
•SLC TWIN/3 PRO2
•SLC TWIN PRO3
•SLC TWIN RT3

1.3.3. Features of the system.
The NIMBUS card features various basic integrated services to en-
able basic connection to the device.
Basic service Description
Onboard panel Web panel that enables remote monitoring of the device.
As it is dependent on the NIMBUS card, if it is not
connected it will not be possible to access the panel.
Communication
through MODBUS
Reading data through MODBUS.
RTC The card’s internal real-time clock.
Auto-configuration
of the device
When installing the card in any of the compatible devices,
it will automatically detect which device it is.
Alarm notification
via panel and
SMS
Alert notifications through the on-board panel in real
time, as well as being configurable to also be reported by
SMS (using configurable SMTP protocol).
Configurable
limits
It is allowed to establish certain limits in some variables
to carry out two actions: either notify by SMS mail or
perform a server shutdown remotely.
DNS server Possibility of assigning domain names to the device.
IP address Choice of DHCP or static web address.
Connection via
Ethernet or WiFi
Possibility of configuring Internet access through a wired
Ethernet connection or using an SSID to connect via WiFi.
Proxy server Ability to configure a proxy server
Tab. 3. Basic integrated services
1.3.4. Optional systems.
Although the NIMBUS card is already capable of providing remote
maintenance with the basic features of the system and access to
device data, these optional systems make it more effective.
There are two types of optional systems:
•Communication protocols: improve the adaptability and com-
patibility of the card with different industrial communication
protocols.
•Web panel in the cloud: it allows you to monitor all devices
from a single web page, without having to go through them
one by one to detect problems. It allows you to receive more
advanced notifications: web push, email or SMS.
The remote maintenance with the web panel also offers faster
technical support in real time as it is a web page to which SALIC-
RU’s professionals have access. This reduces the average time it
takes to repair a device in unexpected cases.
Optional
service
Description
Communication protocols
Modbus TCP Secondary communication protocol derived from MODBUS
(main communication protocol).
Modbus API-
REST
By enabling the external connection of the card, it is possible
to make calls to the communication services without having
to access the inside of the card.
RCCMD This service enables you to perform a controlled shutdown of
the servers, in the event that certain conditions are detected
by the device.
SNMP Secondary communication protocol. This enables notifications
to be sent to the user’s IP when an alarm is activated.
IEC 61850
protocol
International standard that defines the communication
protocols between different equipment located in substations.

2. Insert the NIMBUS card into the appropriate slot of the de-
vice. It needs to be well inserted.
The card will be powered directly by the device, meaning that
no external power is necessary. If the card has been correctly
inserted, the power LEDs will light up. See Fig. 4.
Power LEDs

3. Connect one end of an RJ45 cable to the card and the other
end to the Ethernet socket. The RJ45 port lights on the card
should light up. See Fig. 5.

4. Oncethe NIMBUS cardis correctlypowered by the device, itwill
be ready for use. The NIMBUS card will come with the latest
available version already installed by default.
Once the NIMBUS card protective cover is in place, it should
look like the image shown in Fig. 6.
Fig. 6. The NIMBUS card with protective cover in place.
2.1. INITIAL CONNECTION.
Important: The card has a preset IP address to enable ini-
tial connection. This address is fixed and always available;
however, it is necessary to configure a secondary IP address in
order to use the card correctly.
Once the NIMBUS card has been correctly installed in the device
via the corresponding slot, an available IP address must then be
correctly configured in order to gain remote access to the card’s
onboard panel. There are two ways to do this.
2.1.1. Point-to-point connection (Ethernet cable).
The fixed IP is always available at the address 100.0.0.1.
To access it, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the dedi-
cated slot on the NIMBUS card and the other end to your computer.
Configure the point-to-point connection by accessing network con-
nections and creating a new connection with the following param-
eters:
Fig. 7. Network parameters for point-to-point connection.
After you have correctly created the point-to-point connection,
you should be able to access the NIMBUS card via this IP ad-
dress. If you access the card via this address in the web browser
(https://100.0.0.1), change the card’s final address in the panel’s
‘Network’ section (3.5.1 Network).
Finally, to access you will have to type the following login and pass-
word:

Once the card is correctly installed in the device, follow the steps
detailed below. After making the initial connection between the
card and the device, wait around five minutes before accessing the
card via the panel.
Access to the panel is through https://, meaning that you need to
write it before the card’s IP address every time you wish to access
the panel. Otherwise, correct connection will not occur.
If you have not yet configured the card correctly for your network,
please refer to section "2.1 Initial connection". You must use the
following IP address:
