1 Introduction
The nova230 station is a compact unit of the EY3600 family of systems. It provides the
same functions and connection possibilities as a nova210. It has communication
capa-bility on the novaNet bus and is used for control and regulation tasks in the HVAC
sec-tor. It also has a serial interface which is equipped with a DB9 plug. The nova240
man-ual operating unit can be fitted in the housing cover. The EYL 230 F030 allows a printer
to be connected via this serial interface. The nova230 has 256 machine fine addresses
(MFA) which are assigned as follows:-
• 35 as hardware inputs/outputs (MFA 0...59)
• 4 as service addresses (MFA 60...63)
• 1 as printer faults (alarm) (MFA 255 – Bit 31)
There remain 191 addresses (MFA 64...254) for parameterising the printable messages. The following printable messages are available:
• Alarms
• Status
• Binary feedback signals
• Measured values

1.1 Description
of
system
Due to the same behaviour of the nova230 with a printer interface as all other
automa-tion staautoma-tions on the network, the maximum connectable quantity of the nova230 is
de-pendent on the total capacity and the total resistance on the whole novaNet communica-tion network.
Furthermore, the common range of a EY3600 novaNet can be used for the data
trans-mission to the nova230 printer interface. These data can be processed to form printable
messages within the nova230. Altogether, there are 1984 common variables available
per EY3600 novaNet.
The serial interface is configurable. For this purpose, a terminal program (the Windows
Hyper Terminal) should be connected with the nova230 using a DIN socket.
The printable messages can be parameterised from the novaNet bus using the CASE FBD program. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 a b a b nov aN et Power Receive Send UPS PowernovaNet Rece ive nova Net Sen d nova Net Faul t DS R DCD

2.1.1
Connecting the configuration tool
A terminal program – e.g. the Hyper Terminal in Windows – is used to configure the
se-rial interface of the nova230.
The PC’s serial port is connected either with the DIN socket on the nova230 as follows:-
On the nova230 On the PC
Service interface, round DIN socket COM port DB9 plug
Pin 2 = GND ⇔ Pin 5 = GND
Pin 5 = TXD ⇒ Pin 2 = RXD
Pin 3 = RXD ⇐ Pin 3 = TXD
or with the 9-pin plug on the nova230 as follows:-
N.B.: The cable used is identical to either the parameterising cable of the EY2400 sub-stations or the novaNet291 Router cable (MZ. 368301.001).

2.1.2
nova230 in configuration mode
To be able to configure the serial interface of the nova230, it needs a mechanical
con-nection (see above). The nova230 can then be put into configuration mode as follows:-
♦ Start the Hyper Terminal program on the PC:-
Start | Programs | Accessories | Communication | Hyper Terminal
The communication parameters between the hyper terminal and the nova230 must be
set as standard (9600 Bd, 8 bits, without parity, 1 stop bit, without handshake).
♦ Apply power to the printer interface nova230.
Power switch to ON
♦ During initialisation, the nova230 interrogates the service interface (DIN socket) or
the serial interface (DB9 plug), and if a ‘space’ character is found within the first five
seconds, the nova230 changes to configuration mode and the configuration menu
appears on the screen. This means that the space bar on the PC’s keyboard must be pressed within the first five seconds.
N.B.
When nova230 is in configuration mode, the printer interface is inoperable. To

If the print sequences are defined manually (menu item 4), it is possible to set various escape codes for the various different printing commands. This is intended for use with some exotic printer models which do not adhere to the standard code. Most printers, however, can be operated with the 3 default definitions (Epson/Oki).
Such an input sequence is shown below:- 4. Manuelle Definition Å

Notes on the escape codes
These control characters, which can be found in the manual for the relevant printers, should be entered in decimal form:-
E.g. Fettdruck EIN 27 69
Fettdruck AUS 27 70
Blau 27 114 2
Rot 27 114 5
Schwarz 27 114 0
The third control byte should be entered as 255, since this is replaced internally by the relevant colour code.

2.2 Connecting
the
printer
To connect a printer, a shielded cable of up to 10 metres is needed. The following RS232 specifications are necessary:-
On the nova230 On the printer
DB 9-pin socket DB 25-pin plug
Pin 3 = TXD ⇒ Pin 3 = RXD
Pin 2 = RXD ⇐ Pin 2 = TXD
Pin 8 = CTS ⇐ Pin 20 = DTR
Pin 5 = GND ⇔ Pin 7 = GND
The shielding should be connected to earth at both ends (pin 5/7).
N.B.: Not all printers control the DTR signal.
In this case, the nova230 does not notice that the printer is inoperable (no paper
or offline), so the printable messages are lost.
Otherwise, the nova230 will use the MFA 255 as a printer fault address (alarm).
The printable messages will then be buffered for as long as the printer is inoper-able (FIFO of 1000 messages).
The MFA255 can be connected using a BI_Soft as a collective alarm (no paper, printer fault etc).
Every time nova230 is started up, the following message is printed out:-

2.3 Printing
the
protocol
The printing of a protocol is triggered with the DI input MFA 53 Bit 24 (terminal 49). A connection (pulse) with earth would trigger the printing of the messages of all printable (parameterised) addresses.
The protocol has a prefix:- ‘Status-Protokoll’ and ends with:-
‘End of Protokoll’

3 Parameterising with CASE FBD
The printable messages coming from the installation should be parameterised with theCASEFBD plan.
3.1 Principle
The automation stations which transfer their printable messages to the nova230 printer
interface, must be in the same novaNet network. Transmission is done via AS-AS link or common link.
These data are accepted by the nova230 printer interface by means of an FBD transfer
module (EM_AI, EM_BI or EM_DI) and must be placed in the software range of the AS
with a software module (MFA 64 ... MFA 254).
To do so, you must use the following modules in the FBD:
♦ AI_Soft for measured values or counter values
♦ AIA_Soft for setpoints
♦ BI_Soft for alarms or status
♦ DI_Soft for commands and binary feedback signals
♦ DIA_Soft for commands, automatic/manual

The printer interface nova230 uses the hardware card code and the software card code
of the relevant address as the print criterion.
The hardware card code is set by the CASE FBD when the Print parameter is set.
The software card code is set by the CASE FBD when the Parameter FC1 parameter
(without totalisation) is set for analogue values and FC (with hours-run counter) for digital values.
3.2
Choosing the nova230 printer
In order to ensure that everything functions properly, you should choose
‘nova230Printer’ as the type in the FBD-Plan under AutomationStation, and the func-tionality index should be 5 or higher.

3.3 Measured
values
The printable measured values should be parameterised using an AI_Soft module.
On the one hand, the undercutting of the lower limit value Lb or the exceeding of the
upper limit value Lt serves as the trigger criterion.
On the other, the return to a level within the stated limit values is treated as a further print criterion.
The print-out appears as follows:-

3.4 Counter
values
The printable counter values should be parameterised using an AI_Soft module.
On the one hand, the exceeding of the upper limit value Lt serves as the trigger
crite-rion.
On the other, the return, e.g. a resetting of the counter value, to a level below the upper
limit value Lt is treated as a further print criterion.
