Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiTrode MultiSmart Pump Station Manager.
Depending on the options you have purchased, the unit may be configured as either a pump controller or a
reservoir monitor or as a Remote Telemetry Unit. The generic product description of MultiSmart Pump
Station Manager is used throughout the manual and for convenience refers to any of the three
configurations.
The pump station manager is an "out of the box" pump controller for water and sewerage pump stations.
The large LCD screen with softkeys eliminates the need for selector switches, push buttons, fault lights,
meters, accumulators and other additional panel items. This simplifies panel wiring and reduces costs.
The product has a very low “whole of life” cost compared with a PLC due to the pump control functionality
already developed in the product. Users simply configure the parameters, rather than program the unit. This
reduces engineering cost and greatly increases reliability.
The MultiSmart pump station manager has the option of an IEC 61131-3 PLC programming language so that
additional functionality can be added by the user if required.
The MultiSmart has fully open communications and can be supplied with Modbus and DNP3 protocols. A
MultiSmart can also be shipped just as an RTU without any pump control functionality or user interface.
The Reservoir Monitor is a version of the product for monitoring reservoirs and communicating with remote
pump stations.
4.1 Range of Options
The functionality of the basic product can be enhanced with additional software modules, such as:
•
DNP3 RTU with security
•
Security key - based on the ‘Dallas Key’
•
VFD control - variable frequency/speed drive
•
“Energy Monitoring and Motor protection” option which allows power, energy, power factor and
pump efficiency monitoring as well as 3-phase currents, motor protection functions and insulation
resistance tests (requires energy monitoring and motor protection I/O module)
•
Logic engine (for custom logic additions)
•
ISaGRAF 5 (IEC 61131-3) PLC programming
•
Well Mixer
•
PumpView – a web-based monitoring and control system via the cellular/mobile network
The product can be shipped with these software modules enabled or they can be enabled in the field with the
appropriate enable code. To the base unit, an additional I/O board can be installed in the factory to allow for
either an expansion of I/O or motor protection options.

•
Level
•
Pump mode
•
Pump availability
•
Detailed fault information

4.4 "Out of the Box" Control of a Pump Station
When the unit is first powered up, it starts controlling a pump station using its default parameters. These are
the MultiTrode probe as a level device, empty (discharge) application, three pumps and one well. Although
it’s shipped with this basic configuration, by running through the Setup Wizard, the configuration can be
easily modified to suit a wide range of applications.
The Setup Wizard takes into account the MultiTrode probe or other level devices, fill or empty applications,
number of pumps, number of wells, station power supply, type of pump sensors and DNP communication
settings.
Even though the basic setup meets most of the normal pump station requirements, with a few button presses
the MultiSmart can be setup to perform most of the complex pump station management requirements.
Changing between a reservoir and a pump station, the number of pumps, the number of wells, or empty
(discharge) to fill (charge) is done through the Setup Wizard and takes only a few minutes, which is far less
time than that required to implement the same functionality using a standard PLC.
Complete station setups can be saved and/or loaded via a compact flash card.
If the extensive range of existing features do not cover a particular requirement, additional functionality can
be added by writing new code using either, Logic Engine (a simple boolean language) or ISaGRAF (a suite
of PLC languages).

MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
5.4.1.1
Pump Mode
The buttons located next to each pump are used to switch the pump between Manual (Hand), Off, or Auto
modes.
•
Auto – In this mode a pump starts when the activation setpoint is reached. The pump automatically
stops when the deactivation setpoint is reached.
•
Off – This turns a pump off, so pump run commands are ignored by the off pump regardless of level.
(The Off mode can be disabled from the advanced menu if necessary in order to meet security
requirements. If changed while the pump is already in Off mode, it will stay off until the mode is
changed).
•
Manual (Hand) – is semi-automatic manual, as the mode returns automatically to Auto when the
deactivation setpoint of the pump is reached. (This prevents pumps from being left on
unintentionally).
A pump is placed into Full Manual mode as follows: when the pump is in Off mode, instead of just
briefly pressing the Auto/Off/Manual button, press and hold it on. This puts the pump into Full
Manual mode for as long as the button is pressed.
5.4.1.2
Running Status
The Running Status of each pump appears to the right of the Pump Name. The various states are:
•
Stopped – Pump is stopped
•
Running – Pump is running
•
Next to Run – Indicates the next pump to run. (Not applicable in multiple well configurations).
•
Request to Run – The controller is waiting for the feedback from the contactor. (A contactor
auxiliary is wired in and the command to run a pump has been sent).
•
External Run - If the pump is started by an external control method (for example, via a manual
override switch), the contactor will be closed but no run command would have been sent by the
controller, hence External Run is displayed. The MultiSmart continues to update the pump run time
statistics and other relevant historical data, in addition the relevant faults and warnings are
generated.
5.4.1.3
Fault Status
The Fault Status of each pump is displayed below the Running Status.. The states are:
•
Available – There are no current faults for this pump.
•
Unavailable – A fault is present or a fault requires manual acknowledgment.
•
Hold Out – The text,” Hold Out” flashes indicating a fault is present and the pump is unavailable.
5.4.1.4

Settings Screen
Changes to the operation of the MultiSmart unit can be done by accessing this menu. Most of the general
pump station requirements can be configured from the sub sections under Settings. However a wide range
of advanced configuration options are also available which could be accessed and configured through the
Advanced button in the Settings menu.
Figure 23 – Settings Screen
MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
Page 28 of 201
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
Some of the settings require a reboot of the MultiSmart unit for it to come into effect after the change, where
as a few others come into effect as soon as the changes are saved. If a restart is required MultiSmart
prompts the user with three options, Restart Now, Restart Later and Continue as shown in the figure
below.
Figure 24 – Reboot Screen
If Restart Now is selected the unit saves the current values and reboots immediately before any further
configuration changes can be performed. If further configuration changes are needed, choose Restart Later
or Continue.
If Restart Later is selected the MultiSmart resumes normal operation, however the new changes do not
come into effect until after a reboot, and the restart prompt is no longer displayed. A fault is displayed on the
main screen to remind the user that a reboot is required.
The Continue option is similar as it also prevents an immediate reboot of the unit but a restart prompt is
displayed for every subsequent change to the configuration..
NOTE:
The restart option in some cases is not displayed. For example, for some major changes like adding a
new DNP slave profile, the MultiSmart skips the restart option prompt and performs an immediate
reboot to bring the new changes into effect immediately.

MultiSmart Boards
The MultiSmart pump station manager has up to four boards plugged into it depending on the application.
The most common configuration is shown below.
Pump Control I/O Board (3PC) - The pump control board monitors the single or 3-phase supply and
provides digital and analog I/O. Level sensing can be from a MultiTrode conductive probe or any 4-20mA
device (e.g., pressure transducer, ultrasonic device). Pump faults can be contact closures or pump specific
inputs such as seal, PTC thermistor or Flygt FLS and CLS. Digital outputs drive the pump contactors. (I/O =
20 x DIN, 2 x AIN, 7 x DOUT, 1 x AOUT.)
CPU Board - Houses the microprocessor running the MultiSmart unit, provides one Ethernet and three serial
and communications ports, connects to the display, and has a compact flash card port.
WARNING:
BEFORE REMOVING THE COMPACT FLASH CARD, YOU MUST PRESS THE YELLOW SAVE CF DATA
BUTTON. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE CORRUPTION OF DATA OR DAMAGE TO THE FLASH CARD.
WARNING:
THE DIGITAL INPUTS ARE VOLT-FREE INPUTS. DO NOT APPLY ANY SOURCING VOLTAGE TO THEM.
DSP Board
This board handles the I/O and communicates between multiple I/O Module modules.
Energy Monitoring and Motor Protection (3MP)
Monitors single or 3-phase motor currents direct from a CT, and provides motor protection, power
monitoring, and includes datalogging. The board also carries out an automatic 1000VDC insulation
resistance test of the motor windings. (I/O = 9 x IIN, 3 x IRT, 3 x AOUT, 5 x DOUT.).

7.2.5
Contactor Auxiliary Fault
If the contactor auxiliary is wired in, the pump status is displayed differently for when a pump is called to run.
The contactor auxiliary is used to provide feedback to the MultiSmart as to when the contactor is closed and
the pump is actually running. As soon as the pump running command is sent, the MultiSmart displays the
status of the pump as Request to Run and when the contactor closes the status is updated to Running. If
the contactor takes too long to close or fails to close at all, the preset delay will expire and a pump fault is
displayed but the pump is not faulted. As per all faults this can be modified to fault the pump thereby calling
the next pump to run.
7.3 Pump Control Board
The pump control I/O board monitors mains voltage and provides digital and analog I/O. Level sensing can
be from a MultiTrode conductive probe, or any 4-20mA device, e.g. pressure transducer or ultrasonic. Pump
faults can be contact closures or pump specific inputs such as seal, PTC thermistor, or Flygt FLS and CLS.
Digital outputs drive the pump contactors.
7.3.1
Mains Voltage Monitoring
For voltage monitoring to work, connect the main supply to the pump control I/O board. To configure voltage
monitoring and protection see Section 18. MultiSmart also supports single phase AC power supplies.

CF card can be used in a number of ways:
•
As extra storage space for data logging.
•
To install new firmware.
•
Can be used to load or save configuration files from/to the MultiSmart unit, rather than configuring
through the User Interface Display.
WARNING:
Before removing the compact flash card, you must press the yellow save CF data button. Failure
to do so may cause corruption of data or damage to the flash card.
7.5 DSP Board
The Digital Signal Processor board handles the I/O, communicates between multiple I/O modules and is
where the main power supply is connected.
7.5.1
Power Supply Connector
The 12-24VDC power supply is connected into the DSP board as shown below:
Figure 45 – Connecting the power supply
MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
Page 43 of 201
NOTE:
Unless the MultiSmart is configured in a specific way, the Battery Level terminal will only measure the
battery charger voltage – not the actual battery voltage.
7.5.2
DSP Status LEDs
There are four DSP status LEDs labelled COP, Power, Offline and Fault.
Figure 46 – DSP Board Status LEDs
(a) COP (Computer Operating Properly) (Correct State: Slow Flash)
Off: This occurs when the DSP is waiting for the first communications on the bus.
This LED remains off until the Host processor starts running I/O. If the LED stays off, then most likely a
fault is present with the bus and it is preventing the DSP from receiving initial communications from the
Host processor.
Slow Flash: Flashes about once every 2 seconds when the main software is running.
Quick Flash: A faster flash rate (approx 2Hz) indicates that the bootloader is running and waiting for
commands. This will be seen for about 5 seconds after the Host starts running the I/O and also during a
DSP firmware upgrade.
(b) Power (Correct State: On)
This is a power indicator.
(c) Offline (Correct State: Off)
Off: The main software is running. This means that the I/O is running.
On: The bootloader is running. The main software is not running so no I/O is running.
(d) Fault (Red) (Correct State: Off)
Off: Status OK
On: At least one of the I/O boards attached has I/O calibration data which the current firmware cannot
handle and as a result, the I/O is not calibrated. Firstly upgrade the DSP firmware and if the Fault LED
remains on, contact MultiTrode as the I/O is not calibrated.
Flashing: This indicates that at least one of the I/O boards found is incompatible with the firmware. It
means that no I/O at all can operate on the unit. Upgrading the DSP firmware should solve the problem.

BATT-02.).
Figure 47 – Power Supply Terminal Block Connections
7.5.3.2
Setting the Correct Charge Voltage
To help maximize battery life it is essential that the correct charge voltage from the power supply to the
battery is set. The correct value is 13.7VDC +/- .1VDC*.
* This value applies to the current 12VDC, 28Ah batteries supplied (Yuasa and Panasonic brands - alternative brands
may however be supplied).
To verify the charge voltage:
Measure the voltage between terminals B+ and B-
To alter the charge voltage:
Adjust the small potentiometer (labelled V1 ADJ) until the correct value is
displayed.
7.5.3.3
Power Supply Reset
NOTE:
If mains power is lost and the connections to the battery are removed and then reconnected, it will
be necessary to reset the power supply in order to restore operation (unless mains power is also
restored).
The reset connector is located on the right hand side of the terminal connections on the power
supply (labelled "RESET"). Bridge the two terminals within the reset connector to reset the power
supply.

7.5.4
CAN Bus I/O Expansion
MultiSmart I/O expansion units are connected to the main MultiSmart unit using the CAN Bus network. The
CAN Bus can not be used for other external devices.
Third party external I/O modules are connected through the Ethernet port (See Section 14.7). With custom
engineering, any I/O module that supports DNP3 or Modbus communications can be interfaced to the
MultiSmart.
The CAN Bus baud rate and the device ID are set using the dial switches shown below. The ID must be
unique for each device on the CAN Bus.
The baud rate should be set to the same speed on every device connected to the bus. Select a suitable
speed for the length of cable between devices as shown in the table below.
Figure 48 – CAN Bus Settings
Table 3 – Max. Cable Length at Specific Baud

7.5.4.2
CAN Status LEDs
Consists of 4 LEDs labelled; Offline, Error, TX and RX.
Figure 55 – CAN Bus Status LEDs
(a) Offline (Correct State: Off)
Off: The CAN Bus sub-system is in Operation mode.
This means that everything is up and running and the Slave (DSP) is completely configured and
sending status data to the Master (Host processor).
On: The CAN Bus sub-system is not in Operational mode.
Slave (DSP) to Master (Host processor) communications have not been established.
This LED normally activates soon after power-up (whilst it is waiting for and receiving configuration from
the Master (Host processor). Once the Master has configured the Slave (DSP), then the Master will
send a command to switch the CAN sub-system to Operational mode. The Slave will then start sending
status data automatically to the Master.
(b) Error (Correct State: Off)
This LED indicates errors on the CAN Bus.
This can be due to either a connection or termination problem on the bus or to a Baud Rate mismatch
between either the Master or one of the slaves. Bad connections, bit errors (due to poor wiring or too
long a bus) can also cause bus errors.
The Slave and the Master both attempt to recover automatically from the errors but unless the fault is
rectified the errors will continue.
Off: Status OK
On: The Slave has switched to "Error Passive" mode on the bus.
This means that the unit will receive but not transmit. This is due to the detection of packet errors on
the bus. The unit will attempt to recover automatically.
Flashing (approx 5Hz): The Slave has switched to "Bus Off" mode.
This means that the unit has stopped communicating on the bus. The unit will attempt to recover
automatically. The auto-recovery mechanism will mean that the total duration of the flashing period will
be short.
(c) TX & RX (Transmit and Receive) (Correct State: fast flash)
Indicates activity on the bus. These LEDs simply flash with the data on the bus.
At high baud rates the LEDs are only illuminated briefly so they will appear fairly dim - this is normal.

7.6 Energy Monitoring & Motor Protection Board
The Energy Monitoring and Motor Protection Board (3MP) is an optional board. It monitors single or 3-phase
motor currents for up to 3 pumps, direct from CTs, and provides motor protection and power monitoring. The
board also carries out an automatic 1000V DC insulation resistance test on the motor windings. An
additional 5 digital outputs and 3 analog outputs are on board.
NOTE: Power monitoring requires 3-phase supply monitoring located in the same MultiSmart unit. The
3PC board has 3-phase supply inputs. Therefore you must have a 3PC board and a 3MP board in the
same unit to do power measurements. MultiSmart can monitor single phase supply as well.
7.6.1
Insulation Resistance Tester
The 1000 VDC Insulation Resistance Tester is connected to the motor windings and periodically tests them
for insulation breakdown. See Section 17.2 for details on how to configure the tester.
Figure 56 – Connecting the IRT
Insulation resistance measurements are only performed when the motor is stopped. Therefore the motor
windings must be connected in a star or delta configuration when it is stopped in order to ensure all windings
are tested. The MultiSmart can be set with two thresholds for the Insulation Resistance Test, one for a
warning message, the second for a fault message. The default setting of the IRT warning does not stop the
pump whereas the IRT fault message does stop the pump.
Wire one winding from each motor controlled by the MultiSmart pump station manager.
Connect the Protective Conductor Terminal, to earth/ground.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding motor insulation testing when using soft starters
and VFDs. Functionality is included in the MultiSmart software so that a DOUT can drive isolation
contactors while IRT is in progress - refer to Section 17.2.2.
7.6.2
Digital Volt-Free Outputs
The board has five isolated volt free outputs rated for 5A at 240V AC.
Figure 57 – Digital Volt-free Outputs
MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
Page 50 of 201
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
7.6.3
Current Inputs
The Energy Monitoring and Motor Protection Board has three sets of three-phase current inputs. These
inputs measure between 0 - 5A and are connected to the secondaries of external CTs to measure higher
currents. The CTs must be wired with the correct polarity and ensure that the current phase corresponds to
the voltage phase. Shielded twisted pair cable is recommended between the CTs and MultiSmart The
shield ground can be connected at either the MultiSmart end or at both, the MultiSmart and the CT,
depending on the predominate interference – electrical or magnetic.
NOTE: If the CTs are wired such that the polarity is wrong, the current reading will be correct, however
the power and energy calculations will be incorrect as the power factor will be zero.
NOTE: The CTs must not be grounded / earthed. Otherwise incorrect current readings will be
measured.
When selecting CTs consider the MultiSmart input resistance (around 40mΩ) & the resistance of the copper
wire used in the installation. To avoid losing accuracy of the current readings, do not burden the CTs.
Figure 58 – Current Inputs Per Motor
7.6.4
Analog Output
The energy monitoring/motor protection board has 3 analog outputs which produce a 4-20mA output signal.
• Maximum Load (Impedance) – 800 ohms
• Resolution 0.2%
• Non-isolated

PumpView Hardware Setup
PumpView is a web-based monitoring and control system. There is no software to install and no server or
radios are required. All that is needed is a web browser (with internet access) and a cellular / mobile based
connection at the site(s). While primarily aimed at the water and wastewater sector, it can be used in a
variety of industries.
Once the hardware is installed and the MultiSmart configured, the site can be monitored and controlled via
the web. Faults can be configured to generate alarm messages and users notified by email and/or SMS.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the modem, always have the antenna connected before applying power to the
modem. Failure to do so may result in damage to the modem.
NOTE:
The antenna must be installed outside the panel. A standard omni-directional antenna as supplied by
MultiTrode (smooth cylinder or rod with no protrusions) should be mounted vertically, such that the
cable exit point is directed towards the ground. This will ensure correct operation and prevention of
water ingress into the antenna. Antennas are unlikely to function if they are directed horizontally.
Ensure the cable is not kinked or bent tighter than a 25mm (1") radius.
Using the RS232 cable provided, connect the modem to the MultiSmart unit on serial 3 (as shown in Figure
60.)
Do not connect power to the modem unless an
antenna is connected.
Powering the modem without an antenna may
cause damage to the modem.
PumpView Modem (GPRS or CDMA)

Figure 60 – Connecting the PumpView modem to MultiSmart
8.1 Fault Finding
For the Sony Ericsson, Wavecom and SAM 3G modems, an LED on the modem flashes when power is
applied and the device is communicating (it may take a few minutes to establish communications).
If the LED is on but not flashing this means it cannot connect to the cellular network. If you have previously
determined that there is adequate signal strength for this site, it may indicate a temporary cell tower problem.
However, it is more likely to indicate that there is a signal strength problem at this location. Possible
solutions are:
•
Using a higher gain antenna
•
Installing the antenna at a higher point

8.2 Configuring PumpView for a Serial Cellular Modem
The following setup is typically completed prior to shipment but circumstances may arise when this
procedure must be performed on-site. By default the PumpView modem is connected to Serial 3.
Navigate to:
Figure 61 – Modem Setup Screen
This screen allows the user to configure a cellular modem for use with PumpView – MultiTrode’s hosted
Website – or for general DNP3/Modbus over a cellular network. A number of modems are supported. A
username and password for access onto the cellular network is required by some of the communication
carriers. PumpView Setup procedure:
• Enter the 4 digit Site ID (this is supplied by MultiTrode)
• Select the modem (based on the Telco and the modem brand)
• Depending on the Telco, a Username may be needed. The text “Username:” will appear on the left
hand side if a username is required.
• The username has the format: pv[Site ID]@multitrode.com
where [Site ID] is the same as the 4 digit number previously entered above,
e.g. pv1009@ multitrode.com
• Press the Edit button to change or to enter a Username, then press Save
• The Password should not be changed from the default (displayed as xxxxxxxxx)
• Press Save and then Restart Now
The MultiSmart will reboot and cellular communications should be established within a few minutes.
Advanced settings are found under:
The pppm manager (the point to point protocol manager) is the module which handles cellular
communications.
NOTE:
From firmware version 1.4 onwards the original pppm module was replaced by pppm2. If you purchased
your MultiSmart prior to the v1.4 release you can contact MultiTrode for a free enable code upgrade from
pppm to pppm2 for improved modem and cellular handling.

When a pump station manager is selected this also establishes one of the standard I/O connection diagrams
(see Section 7.2 to Section 7.2.4). The MultiSmart pump station manager establishes 1 of 4 standard
connection diagrams depending on whether the configuration is:
•
2 pumps with a MultiTrode Probe / Duo probe
•
3 pumps with a MultiTrode Probe / Duo probe
•
2 pumps with a 4-20mA level device
•
3 pumps with a 4-20mA level device
These connections diagrams have a complete set of pump faults wired in (contactor auxiliary input, C/B off

Key Setup Wizard Parameters
While half of the parameters specified during the Setup Wizard can be modified (if necessary) at a later date
through other menus, the remaining key setup parameters can only be changed through the Setup Wizard so
it’s important that these parameters are correct the first time.
The Setup Wizard can be run any number of times but each time it clears the memory so any other
configuration changes made are lost and must be re-entered (if still required). The key setup parameters are
listed below.

9.2.2
Activating New Modules
Each MultiSmart unit comes with certain modules enabled. New modules are activated with a new site key.
New site keys can be entered at any time when new modules need to be activated.
9.2.3
Fill (Charge) or Empty (Discharge) Modes
A pump station can be configured to either Fill (Charge), or Empty (Discharge) the well.
9.2.4
Number of MultiSmart Units in Installation
Multiple MultiSmart units can be connected together using the CAN Bus interface. This allows additional I/O
to be added to the station if required. A “unit” is defined as a separate DIN mounted housing containing one
DSP Board and at least one other board, a 3PC Pump Control Board for example.
9.2.5
Configuring the Type of Board Located in the Bottom Slot
There are four board slots in a MultiSmart unit. By setting what type of board is located in the bottom slot the
setup wizard can determine the correct I/O configuration for the unit.
9.2.6
Number of Wells in Station
A station can have up to three wells.
9.2.7
Level Devices
There is a choice of Probe (MultiTrode conductive probe), DuoProbe (MultiTrode conductive probe with
pressure transducer, Analog (e.g. Pressure transducer or ultrasonic) or Remote Level. Remote level is
typically used where the pump station is pumping to a reservoir.
NOTE: If later it becomes necessary to change the level device, there is no need to go back through
the setup wizard, simply see Section 14.8.
9.2.8
Number of Pumps in each Well
If more than one well is configured, consecutive prompts are displayed requesting the number of pumps in
each well.
NOTE: The number of pumps available for the system is limited to 3, 6 or 9 depending on the software
and hardware options purchased.
NOTE: If more than 3 pumps or more than 1 well are selected during the Setup Wizard, then no I/O
defaults will be applied.
9.2.9
Select Fault Input Sensor Type
The digital inputs can be setup to handle either a Flygt FLS sensor, or a Thermal/Seal type sensor direct
from the pumps.
NOTE: This specific pump fault input is identified because the FLS uses one input, whereas a typical
thermistor/seal combination uses two inputs. The answer to this question establishes a default
connection diagram
If the pumps have neither a Flygt FLS sensor or a Thermal/Seal type sensor, choose None. (After the
MultiSmart is configured, it maybe necessary to unassign some of the default digital inputs or faults that are
not used in the panel. Refer to Section 9.3 at the end of this Quick Commissioning Section).

9.2.10
Configure Phase to Phase Voltage
A phase to phase pump supply voltage is required in order for the voltage protection functionality to work
correctly. Either select one of the options, or enter a custom voltage.
To modify after running the Setup Wizard navigate to:
9.2.11
Choose DNP3 Configuration (Reservoir Setup Only)
One of three standard DNP3 configurations must be chosen when setting up the MultiSmart as a Reservoir
monitor. The selected configuration sets the method of communications between the reservoir and the
remote pump station.
Configuration B is the preferred method. It sets up the DNP3 configuration for situations where a direct
communications link between the pump station and reservoir station exists.
Configurations A and C are used where a direct communications link is not present. Instead, these
configurations setup the MultiSmart to receive the level via a DNP Master (MTU).
See Section 21 for more information.
9.2.12
Accepting New Configuration & Resetting Controller
The final commissioning screen displays a summary of the major settings entered. Check the configuration
carefully and press the Yes button if it is correct.
All current settings are replaced by the new configuration. The controller restarts with the new settings. This
process takes a several minutes to complete.
9.3 Unassign Any Faults Not Used
To speed up the process of establishing a new station, four standard configurations are used. These include
a number of useful pump faults, some of which may not be needed or not available in the station.
NOTE: Some of the standard configurations include a contactor auxiliary input for each pump. If no
contactor auxiliary is connected to this input a pump fault will be displayed but the pump will continue to
run. If not used, this fault should be unassigned.
To unassign any fault inputs, go to:

9.4 Level Simulation Mode
9.4.1
Simulating Levels for Safety/Commissioning Purposes
The pump station manager can simulate levels for safety or commissioning purposes. This function allows
the level to be increased or decreased in 1% steps from the keypad. Using this feature to test the control
panel before it is installed at the pump station.
Navigate to the Level Simulation screen:
Figure 75 – Simulating Levels
MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
Page 64 of 201
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
•
Press the Level Simulation button
•
The time remaining starts counting down to zero. When the time runs out the level simulation mode
automatically turns off
•
Press the Home key.
•
Use the up and down arrows on the keypad to raise or lower the simulated level
•
When the tests on the station are complete, either let the level simulation time out, or go back to
the level simulation page and press the Level Simulation button to turn it off.
Health and Safety Feature: This feature allows operators to test pump and alarm levels without
having to open the pit cover to move the level sensing device.
WARNING: The pumps respond to the simulated level exactly as they would to a real level, therefore,
it is possible to run the pumps with no actual liquid IN THE WELL, thereby running the pumps dry and
damaging them.

10.4 Pump Control Module
10.4.1
Pump Modes
Three pump modes exist for each pump controlled by the MultiSmart Pump Station Manager. They are
Manual, Off and Auto.
If Manual (Hand) mode is selected, the pump turns on unless the pump is faulted or unavailable. It returns
to Automatic mode when the deactivation setpoint is reached.
In Off mode the pump does not start, unless put into Manual or Automatic modes, even when the activation
setpoint is reached.
In Automatic mode the advanced pump control module takes over the duties of starting and stopping the
pumps.
NOTE: The Off mode can be disabled (skipped), if desired, from the advanced settings menu. As a
safety measure, when this feature is turned off while the pump is already in Off mode, it will remain in
that state until the mode is change.
10.4.2
Fill / Empty & Pump Setpoints, Alarm Setpoints, Delays
Emptying or filling a well is supported along with multiple wells, either independent or balanced (however all
wells must be of the same type - empty or fill). Each mode has a default set of activation/deactivation points
for pumps and alarms. Four level alarms are supported for each well (where more than one well exists), with
the ability to disable/enable any alarm. Each level alarm has an activation and deactivation point. Activation
and deactivation delays are supported for each pump, as well as inter-pump delays. (See Section 12 for
more information).
10.4.3
Pumps & Groups
A single MultiSmart unit can support up to 6 pumps (depending on the configuration), which can be assigned
to more than one well if required. Multiple groups of pumps are supported. Typical applications for groups
are jockey pumps and flood pumps. Within a group, pumps can alternate or be in fixed sequence, and
maximum pumps running can be set. Groups of pumps can be alternated or in fixed sequence, and
maximum number of groups running can also be set.
Some configuration parameters for pumps relate to whether they are the lead (duty) pump or the lag
(standby) pump. This capability is supported in the pump control module – parameters can relate to the
pump position in the alternation sequence rather than the physical pump, e.g. activation and deactivation
delays. See Section 13 for more information.
10.4.4
I/O, Faults & Level Devices
Inputs and Outputs (I/O), Faults and Level Devices are closely related. They all work together to provide the
functionality required to run a pump station.
•
I/O
General purpose I/O can be used to interface to a wide range of devices. Digital outputs are used
(via contactors or soft starters) to start and stop pumps, and to switch external hardware such as
solenoids, mixers or beacons. Some digital inputs have extra capabilities for interfacing to devices
such as Flygt CLS sensors.
•
Faults
Faults can be assigned to both digital and analog I/O. Inputs are used to detect faults within the
pump station, such as pump related faults.
•
Level Sensors
The pump control module supports multiple level sensors, including 4-20mA analog sensors (e.g.
pressure transducer, ultrasonic); MultiTrode conductive probe and ball floats. Support for
redundant level sensing is built-in.
See Section 14 for more information.
MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
Page 69 of 201
10.4.5
Profiles
The pump control module supports six (6) profiles. Each profile consists of pump activation/deactivation
setpoints, as well as three station optimization functions (Max Off Time, Max Run Time & Station Max Pumps
to Run). Profiles can be switched via any of the following methods:
•
User interface
•
SCADA
•
A timer (e.g. time of day)
•
Digital input (e.g. a switch on the panel) or any digital tag (e.g. an alarm condition)
•
Logic engine script or ISaGRAF program
See Section 15 for more information.
10.4.6
Station Optimization Functions
Many desirable functions are pre-defined, with the user simply enabling/disabling or choosing parameters for
the functions. These functions include:
•
Odor Reduction (via maximum off time)
•
Maximum Run Time
•
Station Maximum Pumps to Run (for electrical or hydraulic overload protection)
•
Minimize Fat Buildup (via random duty start)
•
Well Clean Out
•
Minimize Excessive Starts
•
High Inflow
•
Well Washer
•
Well Mixer
•
Blocked Pump Detection
•
Pump n Max Starts per Hour
See Section 16 for more information.
10.5 Energy Monitoring and Motor Protection
An optional Energy Monitoring Motor Protection module in conjunction with a Motor Protection card can be
supplied with the MultiSmart pump station manager. The module monitors currents and provides protection
from:
•
Over and Under Current
•
Over Current I2T
•
Current Phase Imbalance (or Phase Failure)
•
Current Phase Rotation
•
Ground (Earth) fault
This module also periodically tests the insulation resistance of the motor windings. Two user defined
thresholds can be entered one for a warning message and a second for a fault message, neither or both can
be configured to fault a pump if the IRT value falls below the thresholds.
A Pump Efficiency Warning is also available which displays a warning if efficiency (in say L/kWh) falls below
a threshold.
MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
Page 70 of 201
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
10.6 Supply Protection
The Pump Control I/O Board monitors the three phase supply through the “Mains Voltage Monitoring” inputs.
Single or 3 phase supplies can be monitored by the MultiSmart. The voltage is constantly measured and is
used to detect the following conditions:
•
Under & Over Voltage
•
Voltage Phase Imbalance (or Phase Failure)
•
Voltage Phase Rotation
10.7 Data Logger
The MultiSmart unit has a datalogger. The logged data can be downloaded onto a compact flash card and
then transferred to a computer and viewed via Excel, Access, or any other reporting/database tool. The
datalogger stores approximately 50,000 events and faults. Each event or fault is date/time stamped. See
Section 19 for more information.
10.8 Flow
The flow module is used to calculate inflow, pump flow rates and total station volume. This allows flow to be
derived without needing a flow meter. See Section 20 for more information.
10.9 Fault Module
The fault module handles pump and station faults. Many pre-defined faults exist, e.g., thermal overload,
contactor auxiliary and Flygt FLS. A fault only needs to be assigned to an I/O (within the configuration) to
begin to function. New faults can of course be defined. Any fault can be configured to lock out a pump, well
or station until a manual (or SCADA) reset is performed. A fault can also be configured to allow the pump to
become available when the fault clears, or after a deactivation delay.
10.10
Security
The MultiSmart can restrict access to the configuration menus. Each user is assigned a PIN number which
they enter before being allowed access. By enabling security, a user must log-in before making changes to
the configuration and before accumulators can be cleared. Pump information (such as Runtime Statistics)
can still be viewed without a PIN number. An alternative method to log-in is via a digital input. A third
method requires a Security or Dallas key which is placed on a reader. User access rights are managed by
an administrator. See Section 11 for more information.
10.11
PLC Extension (IEC 61131-3)
ISaGRAF, a control software environment which supports all of the internationally recognized IEC 61131
control languages and offering a combination of highly portable and robust control engine, is available in
MultiSmart. MultiSmart currently only supports ISaGRAF version 5. Earlier versions of ISaGRAF are not
supported. See Section 24 for more details.
10.12
Logic Engine
A simple, Boolean, logic engine has been built into the MultiSmart to allow basic customization of control
capabilities thereby extending existing functionality or allowing new functionality to be added. It uses
mathematical expressions which are evaluated at regular intervals to determine if they are true or false. The
expressions are associated with a tag within the MultiSmart to create actions when an expression changes
state. See Section 25 for more information.
10.13
RTU
The MultiSmart can be supplied with an optional RTU. Supported communication protocols are Modbus and
DNP3 with security are available. The MultiSmart can also be shipped just as an RTU without any pump
controller functionality or user interface. See Section 21 for more information.
The diagram below illustrates the extensive communication capabilities of the MultiSmart, even though in
practice it is highly unlikely to use all of these in the same installation. MultiSmart can be interfaced with
most industry standard equipment and SCADA networks.

11 Security
The MultiSmart restricts access to the configuration menus by creating users. Users gain access to the
settings menus by either:
•
Entering a 4 digit PIN number when prompted
•
Activating a digital input (a key switch, for example)
•
Placing the Security Key (Dallas Key) on the reader
Each user is assigned a PIN number or digital input access, by an administrator.
The administrator user account is enabled and a password automatically generated by default at the factory
before despatch. The administrator password can be changed from the Security Screen accessed from the
Settings menus.
Security access for users is not activated until the first user has been configured. The administrator must go
to the Security Screen in the settings menus and configure a user before security is enabled.
NOTE: The factory set security password can be found on the sleeve of the product manual CD.
NOTE: It is important the administrator password is kept in a secure location. If the password is lost the
unit may need to be returned to MultiTrode for re-configuration.
NOTE: The Admin user needs to create an Admin PIN number to enter the Settings menu. This makes
access into the Settings menu relatively easy via a 4 digit PIN, whereas access into administrator user is
intended to be a difficult alphanumeric password.
NOTE: If security is enabled, users are not able to make configuration changes or clear the
accumulators from the information screen without first logging in.
The administrator is the only user allowed to add, delete or edit user accounts.
To access the security screen:
•
Press
•
Enter a PIN if requested and push Continue
•
Go to page 3 of the settings screens and press Security
•
Enter the administrator password and press Continue

11.2 Security Key Setup
The Security (or Dallas) key allows a quick and easy method of accessing the MultiSmart whilst maintaining
a high level of security, as only those users with a Security key (in which the Administrator has registered the
PIN) can gain access the MultiSmart menus.
The Security key module is a separate software module which can be enabled after purchased. (Only
present in MultiSmart firmware version 2.2.0 or later).
11.2.1
Initial Hardware Setup
To enable the Security key reader:
•
If not purchased with the MultiSmart, enter the new Site Key provided by MultiTrode (See Section
28 for procedure).
•
Navigate to the Protocols Settings screen.
•
The Security key is assigned to serial port 3 by default. Verify that no other device is using this port,
if so, reassign a device to an unused serial port. (See Figure below).
•
Connect the Security key reader to the selected port (or the default port 3).
•
Reboot the MultiSmart.
NOTE: If at any time the Security Key reader is disconnected from the MultiSmart, a reboot is
necessary in order to re-establish communications to the reader.

12 Fill / Empty & Pump Setpoints, Alarm Setpoints, Delays
12.1 Fill / Empty (Charge / Discharge)
This parameter is selected during the Setup Wizard, as described in Section 9.
12.2 Default Pump and Alarm Setpoints
The MultiSmart pump station manager has an activation and deactivation setpoint for each pump, and four
independent level alarm setpoints; high, high-high, low, low-low, each with their own activation and
deactivation points. In the case of multi-well mode, the alarm setpoints are replicated for each well.
The MultiSmart unit applies different default setpoints depending on whether fill or empty (charge or
discharge) is chosen during the Setup Wizard.
There can also be multiple profiles – each with their own setpoints (refer to Section 15). For most
applications the default level settings should be appropriate for correct operation of the installation.

12.3 Changing Pump and Alarm Levels Setpoints
12.3.1
Limitations
The MultiSmart unit does not allow the user to set invalid activation and deactivation setpoints, for example:
•
When in Empty (Discharge) mode the Lag (Standby) pump cannot be configured to activate or
deactivate before the Lead (Duty) pump.
•
When in Fill (Charge) mode the activation level for any particular pump cannot be higher than the
level for the previous pump in the duty order. The deactivation level also cannot be higher than the
previous pump in the duty order.
12.3.2

•
Use the arrows to select a pump
•
Enter new values using the keypad
•
Push the Save button to commit the changes
•
If the settings are invalid an error message is displayed
NOTE: If there are more than one well and if they are independent, the first set of Lead/Lag pump/s
listed in this menu will correspond to the pumps in well 1 and the next set will correspond to the pump/s
in the second well.

12.3.3
Pump setpoints with two independent wells
The Setup Wizard allows the user to create a pump control configuration with more than one well. If
“independent wells” is selected, (i.e. no hydraulic connection between the wells), this section explains how
to change pump setpoints.
The standard pump setpoints screen is still used but certain rules are in place for normal operation which
makes the setup for independent wells a little more difficult.
The following example is a 4-pump station with 2 pumps in well 1 and 2 pumps in well 2.
• P1 and P2 are automatically assigned to well 1.
• The required start/stop points are 50/10 for lead (duty) and 60/20 for lag (standby) for both wells.
• The pump setpoint screen will be similar to Figure 89 - Setting Pump Levels (except with 4 pumps).
Change the setpoints to 50/10, 50/10, 60/20, 60/20.
• Now go to the Alternation and Grouping screen (see Section 13.2), and while keeping the pumps in
alternation mode, change the order of the pumps to P1, P3, P2, P4.
If the station operation is now tested, P1 and P2 are in well 1 and the start points are 50% for the lead pump,
and 60% for the lag pump. Well 2 contains P3 and P4 and have identical start/stop points.
To enable or disable the Independent Wells options, navigate to:
12.3.4
Setting Alarms Activation/Deactivation points

12.4 Setting Pump & Alarm Delays
Activation delays are used to prevent a pump or alarm from turning on when it reaches its activation level
until the activation delay has expired. Deactivation delays do the same for turning off an alarm or pump. The
unit also contains inter-pump delays to prevent two pumps starting or stopping within a predefined period of
time. This can prevent water hammer and electrical overload. All pump and alarm activation and
deactivation delays have a factory default setting. These may be adjusted as required.
Navigate to:
Figure 92 - Pump and Level Alarm Delays
•
Use the arrows to select an alarm.
•
Enter new values, in seconds, using the keypad.
•
Push the Save button to commit the changes.
This screen changes the delays for all profiles.
12.4.1
Inter-pump delays
There are four different delays that operate between one pump stopping or starting and a second pump
starting or stopping.
•

•
Stop-Stop (10s default)
•
Start-Stop (5s default)
•

Activation & Deactivation delays for level alarms
Each of the four level alarms have an activation delay (5s default) and a deactivation delay (10s default).
•
High-High Level
•
High Level
•
Low Level
•
Low-Low Level
NOTE: Activation delays can be used to stagger equipment starts from a common level point.
Deactivation delays allow you to pump beyond the normal deactivation level for a set period of time.
NOTE: Activation delays can be used to prevent false alarm trips due to splashing or foam build-up, so
an alarm will only be raised if the level is above the alarm level for a certain time period. Deactivation
delays allow you to be sure the alarm condition has passed before clearing the alarm.
NOTE: The Pump Station Manager can be set up so that it periodically runs past the normal deactivation
level for a configured time, to enable a full well clean-out. This is the well clean out mode in Station
Optimization.

13 Pumps and Groups
The number of pumps is specified during the Setup Wizard. Depending on the hardware and software
configuration purchased, the number of pumps is limited to 3, 6 or 9 pumps.
Alternation of pumps is on and set to Alternation (std) by default. All pumps are placed into one group (and
maximum groups to run is set to one).
The following eight alternation schemes are available for sequencing pumps within a group:
Alternation (std)
The pumps alternate on each start. If a pump faults, the next pump in the cycle takes over.
Fixed (std)
The pumps do not alternate on each start. If a pump faults, the next pump in the cycle takes
over.
Alternation
Special
The pumps alternate on each start. If a pump faults, the next pump in the cycle does not
start until the activation point for that pump is reached.
Fixed Strict
The pumps do not alternate on each start. If a pump faults, the next pump in the cycle does
not take over until activation point for that pump is reached.
Pump Hours and
Pump Start
Options allow alternation based on hours and starts. This can be useful in special
circumstances. For example, a large 2-pump water station. Each day one pump runs for
about 4 hrs in the morning, and the other for around 1-2 hrs in the afternoon. So even
though they have alternation, P1 always runs in the morning and the hours run on P1 is
much higher than P2.
Efficiency
In this mode the pump alternation occurs with the most efficient pump being favoured. This
mode is especially useful where an old pump, scheduled for replacement, is coupled with a
new pump. The most efficient pump is run N times in a row before alternating the duty
cycle to the other pumps and this minimises the energy cost. The default of N is 10 and
this the most efficient pump will be altered once every 10 runs (this frequency can be
changed in the MultiSmart advanced mode). For the efficiency mode to be active the
pumps have to run at least 10 cycles and the power efficiency data must be available for
calculations. This mode uses pump efficiency last week and this will not be active if the
efficiency results are reset or unavailable.
N to 1
The first pump defined in this section is run as the duty pump N times in a row before
alternating the duty cycle to the other pumps.
First On First Off
The first pump that starts is the first pump to turn off. For example, if the lead pump starts &
is later followed by the lag pump, when the level falls, the lead pump is the first to turn off.
Table 6 – Alternation Schemes
Most installations use the first 2 options: Alternation or Fixed.
There are three alternations schemes available for sequencing between groups they are; Alternation (std),
Fixed (std), Alternation Special.
NOTE : The number of pumps is specified during the Setup Wizard and can only be modified by
running the Setup Wizard again. Any configuration changes made must be re-entered..
NOTE: Efficiency alternation is based on the calculated efficiency for ‘last week’.

MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
Page 86 of 201
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
13.3.1
Maximum Groups Running
Maximum Groups Running can be used to control the number of groups running when there is more than
one group (default is 1, i.e. only pumps in the same group can run).
For example, for an installation containing jockey pumps and flood pumps it is usual to ensure the jockey
pumps are never running at the same time as the flood pumps. To achieve this, go to Maximum Groups
Running, enable Block running pumps and set the Quantity to 1.
These settings turns off group 1 (the jockey pumps) whenever group 2 starts (the flood pumps). This means
the jockey pumps will never run at the same time as the flood pumps.
13.3.2
Pump Logic in Multi-well Mode
In the case of independent wells, the two wells simply operate as two independent entities with the pumps
allocated to a particular well operating dependant on the level in that well.
In the case of hydraulically connected wells, the pump control module is more complex. If alternation is
enabled (the default), each pump in turn will start regardless of which well it is in, based on the highest level
in either well. Deactivation of a pump is dependant on the level in the well where the pump is located. This
is to prevent problems with equalization between the two wells allowing a well to run dry while a pump is still
operating.
13.4 Decommissioning Pumps
Individual pumps can be decommissioned. This prevents the pump from running under any circumstances,
and also displays a “Decommissioned” notice under the pump on the main operator display. To

14.7 External Digital & Analog Modules
If an I/O unit has Modbus or DNP3 capabilities, then a MultiSmart unit can be configured to communicate to
the device. The configuration will usually require custom engineering, increasing the effort required for
integration.
To speed up this process, certain I/O units have been selected as standard MultiSmart solutions. MultiSmart
has wizard functionality which can be used to greatly simplify configuration. Once configured, these analog
inputs, digital outputs and digital inputs are listed in the respective LCD screen menus wherever the
corresponding MultiSmart I/Os are displayed. Hence they can be assigned to any faults or configured to use
with other functionality in the unit using the same procedure as that for native MultiSmart I/O.
Currently, this wizard functionality supports the following units:
•
ADAM-6017 - Ethernet, 8 x AIN, 2 x DOT
•
ADAM-6050 - Ethernet, 12 x DIN, 6 x DOT
•
ADAM-6051 – Ethernet, 12 x DIN, 2 x DOT
•
ACROMAG-961 - Ethernet, 6 DC Current Input Channels (6 x AIN)
•
ACROMAG-983 - Ethernet, 12 Discrete Input Output Channels

14.7.1
Point List Configuration
The first step to setting up communications to an external IO block is to create a new Modbus master. In
order to do this, the MultiSmart unit must have Modbus Master enabled. The slave profile for the external
IO unit that communicates over the Ethernet port must be created under this Master.
To check if this the Modbus Master is enabled browse to:
If Modbus Master is disabled contact MultiTrode to find out how to enable it.
To create a new Modbus Master, via the LCD, navigate to:
then click on
When the Modbus Master is created, a Modbus Slave under the master is also created by default. Once the
unit has rebooted it is only necessary for you to reconfigure the points list for that slave to match the Modbus
profile of the external IO unit. To do this navigate to:
Select the desired Ethernet expansion module that MultiSmart supports (If the module is not listed, custom
engineering is required to interface it with MultiSmart). Confirming the selection will require a restart of the
unit. Once restarted the points list will be complete. Jump to Section 14.7.2 if you don’t have more than one
IO unit to be configured.
If more I/O expansion modules are to be added, simply create additional slave profiles under the same
Modbus Master and configure the Modbus points list to that slave profile.
To create an additional slave via the LCD, navigate to:
Once the slave is created and after the MultiSmart has restarted, navigate to the following location:
The option “Next Slave” will appear at the bottom of the screen. This makes it possible to browse the points
list settings of the next slave.
To regenerate the points list, select the appropriate slave, and select the Regenerate Points List option
under that particular slave.

14.7.2
Configuring the Communication
If the Ethernet point in the MultiSmart is available for interfacing and only one ADAM/ACROMAG unit is
required to be connected then the connection can be established by using a single shielded RJ45 cross over
cable.
If more than one ADAM/ACROMAG units are to be interfaced and/or if MultiSmart is connected to an
Ethernet network, then an Ethernet switch is required for establishing the connection. In this method
shielded RJ45 straight through cables are required to connect the MultiSmart and ADAM/ACROMAG units to
the switch. The two different methods of interfacing the devices are shown in the figures below.

ADAM Ethernet Units
ADAM Ethernet units currently supported include:
•
ADAM-6017
•
ADAM-6050
•
ADAM-6051
The ADAM units, if purchased from MultiTrode are preconfigured to interface with the MultiSmart.
MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
Page 96 of 201
MultiSmart_IO_Manual_A4_v2-22_R15.doc
The ADAM units are packaged with a CD which includes a program called Adam.NET. This program is
installed on a Windows PC and is used to configure the I/O device. It allows the IP address of the ADAM unit
to be changed, in order to match a specific domain.
To establish communications to the device, first connect the device to a DC power supply (10-30V) via the (R)
+Vs and (B) GND pins. Then connect the device to the network used by the Windows machine via an RJ-45
connection.
Run the Adam.NET program. From the displayed window, highlight ADAM5000TCP_6000, then click on the
magnifying glass icon. This detects the connected device. Highlighting this device allows the IP Address to
be reconfigured via the Network tab. Once the desired IP address has been set, click on Apply Change.
NOTE:
If you are using an ADAM-6017 device which is not purchased through MultiTrode, you must configure
the I/O to make it suitable for interfacing with the MultiSmart.
The default IP address of the ADAM unit is 10.0.0.1 unless it is specified and purchased from MultiTrode.
The MultiSmart now needs to be reconfigured to communicate to this device.
Check the IP address of the MultiSmart, modify if it does not match with that of the ADAM unit. To verify or to
change the IP address of the MultiSmart browse to:
If the ADAM unit is directly connected to the MultiSmart using a cross over cable, set the MultiSmart IP
Address to 10.0.0.2. To configure the IP address of the ADAM units for advanced installations refer to the
unit manual (available for download from http://advantech.com.tw). Ensure that no more than one ADAM
unit has the same IP address, otherwise an IP address conflict will occur. If advanced routing needs to be
setup in the MultiSmart, refer to Section 22.4.
Navigate to:
1. Select the Modbus Master, which contains the slave profiles of the I/O units, using the select arrow
buttons and press Select.

ACROMAG Ethernet Units
ACROMAG Ethernet units currently supported by MultiSmart include:
•
ACROMAG-961
•
ACROMAG-983
Each device includes a CD, which has full instructions on how to set up and use all devices within their
product range. The following description presents a very quick discussion of how to configure the devices for
communications to a MultiSmart. Refer to the full instructions from the manufacturer for more details.
In order to establish communications to the device, first connect the device to a DC power supply (15-36V,
although ACROMAG claim that the units will operate at 11V) via the DC+ and DC- pins. Then connect the
device to the network used by the Windows machine via the RJ-45 connection.
ACROMAG Ethernet I/O units are able to serve html pages. Therefore, to configure a unit, only a web
browser is required. All ACROMAG Ethernet I/O devices have a pre-programmed IP address of: 128.1.1.100.
In order to set up communications to a device, the computer connected must be able to address the unit’s IP
range. The simplest way to achieve this is to use a laptop and change the IP address of the laptop to
128.1.1.101. Load a web browser and type the following http://128.1.1,100.
This loads the configuration page of the device. The user name is User and the password is passwordOO.
By clicking on Network Configuration, the IP address of the device can be modified. Ensure that no more
than one ACROMAG unit has the same IP address, otherwise it will result in an IP address conflict.
For the ACROMAG-961 analog input device, it is necessary to configure the range of the inputs. This can be
done via the Test Page. Select the range to be 4-20mA, unless another range is desired. If another range
is selected, the raw ranges of the analog tags in MultiSmart should also be modified to reflect this.
The MultiSmart now needs to be reconfigured to communicate to this device.
The default IP address of the ACROMAG unit is 128.1.1.100 unless it is specified and purchased from
MultiTrode.
Check the IP address of the MultiSmart and modify it if it does not match with that of the ACROMAG unit. To
verify or change the IP address of the MultiSmart, browse to:
If the ACROMAG unit is directly connected to the MultiSmart using a cross over cable, set the MultiSmart IP
address to 128.1.1.101. To configure the IP address of the ACROMAG unit for advanced installations, refer
to the unit manual (available for download from www.acromag.com). If advanced routing needs to be setup
in MultiSmart, refer to Section 22.4.
Navigate to:
1. Select the Modbus Master, which contains the slave profiles of the I/O units, using the select arrow
buttons and press Select.
2. Set the Comms Channel to TCP/IP 1, 2 or 3 whichever is available for use, Link Type to TCP and
press Save. Choose Restart Later option if prompted.
3. Use the select arrow button and select the first slave and press Edit. Select the Enabled? option if it
is not selected already, set the Slave Address to 1 and press Save.
4. Select the IP Address button, enter the ADAM unit’s IP address in the Dest IP Address tab, set the
TCP Port to 502 and press Save. Now press Back button twice to navigate to the Modbus Master
settings. (If there is more than one slave, edit the settings for each additional slaves by following the
above procedure)
5. Press the Channel button, set the Connection Type to Initiating end-point and press Save.
6. From the Advanced screen, navigate to :

7. Change thee Comms Channel parameter to TCP/IP 1 (or TCP/IP 2 or 3 if channel 1 is already used
by another application). Then change the Link Type parameter to TCP.
8. Next, from the Advanced screen, navigate to:
9. Change the Connection Type parameter to Initiating end-point.
10. Then navigate to:
11. Set the IP Address parameter to the address selected for the ADAM IO device, and then set the TCP
Port parameter to 502 (which is the default port for Modbus communications).
12. Once the changes are complete, press Save and restart the unit.

Verifying the Communication & Values
Communications to an external I/O device can be verified by navigating to:
If communications have been successfully established then Online is True and Comms Fail is False.
•
Online status indicates whether the last message sent was acknowledged by the receiving device. If
no acknowledgment is received within a preset time, then Online is set to False. (Relevant
parameter - Default Response Timeout, default is 20s).
•
Comms Fail – if the channel remains offline for longer than a preset time, then Comms Fail is set to
False. (Relevant parameter - Comms Fail Time, default is 2 mins).
The Transmitted and Received counts are incremented on each message received or transmitted. By
default, scans are configured to occur every 2 seconds.
To view the values read by the MultiSmart, press the Back button, select the Modbus Master Values
button, and then select one of the point classes. All the points values read from the I/O device are displayed
and are dynamically updated as new values are read.
The full menu path is:
Highlight a point and pressing the Details button displays more detailed information for the selected point.
For example, if an analog value (input register) is selected, then the raw and scaled values can be compared
from this screen.

Options Available for Special Applications
MultiSmart supports a relative offset around a datum point which can be set through the control panel. In the
Level Devices section mentioned above, an offset around a particular datum point can be specified - this
value is to be added to the MultiSmart level input. These scaled set points can be verified using the DNP or
MODBUS points list.
14.8.2
Probe Configuration
Once the Sensors button is pressed, the digital inputs assigned to the probe are listed. By pressing Config
Sensor these inputs can be assign or unassign as required to match the probe wiring. (The default is Din 2
to Din 11, with Din 1 being 100%).
If necessary more than one probe can be configured for a system, e.g. for 2 wells, or probe in primary and
backup configuration.
