RCU commissioning
The process described in this section
assumes the Fusesavers have already been
correctly installed according to the
Fusesaver operating instructions (IC1000-
F320-A170-XX-XXXX). This section covers
the on-site configuration of an RCU to
couple with the available Fusesavers
overhead using the RCU Connect PC
application. The overall process consists of
four steps:
1. The user completes the RCU
configuration template form (KMS-
3100) and sends this to Siemens.
2. Siemens creates two files and returns
these to the user.
3. The user loads these files into the RCU
Connect PC application.
4. The user chooses configuration settings
for each site and loads these into the
RCU using RCU Connect.
Configuration of an RCU is carried out
wireless using the RCU Connect PC
application and an USB antenna (the same
one as used by Siemens Connect to
communicate with Fusesavers). Before this
wireless connection is possible, the operator
must open the door of the RCU enclosure
releasing the door switch. This enables a
10-minute window during which wireless
short-range connection can be made to the
RCU with RCU Connect
It is advised to connect the USB antenna to
the PC using a short USB extension cable so
the antenna can be placed away from the
body of the notebook computer and pointed
towards the RCU.
This section will explain how to do the
following:
1. Use RCU Connect to create and maintain
templates for various installation
scenarios, including setting up the
protocol mapping.
2. Use RCU Connect to enter the required
information for deployment at a site,
and send this information to the RCU.
3. Use RCU Connect to check the operation
of a RCU once configured.
Radio communication between the RCU and RCU
Connect running on a PC can be disrupted by
metal objects adjacent to the USB antenna, such
as the body of the notebook computer or an
adjacent USB memory stick.
Keep metal objects away from the RCU and
USB antenna.
Do not have the PC immediately below the
RCU as the signals may be blocked by the
metal cabinet.
If the radio connection is lost during
configuration, repeat the process.
To prevent damage to the RCU, operators should
always use electrostatic discharge ground straps
when operating the equipment if in a high-static
environment.
