General information

The easYlite-200 LED lamp expansion module is a LED display module with 16

programmable alarm, warning and status lamps, for which three colors (red, green,

yellow) can be chosen. The data collected by easYgen series controllers are transmitted

to the easYlite-200 for processing via CANBUS or RS485 port.

Each easYgen series controller can connect with up to two easYlite-200 modules

General information

The easyLite-200 device is configured via the ToolKit software. This may be done both in

the respective 100-/1000-series easYgen's ToolKit configuration screens (LED message

assignment) and in the specific easYlite-200 ToolKit configuration. The following

subchapters provide a more detailed account of the configuration steps

easYgen: LED Configuration and Labelling

The signal assignment/label content can be configured via 100-/1000-series easYgen's

software ToolKit. In order to do this, please go to [Parameter / Configure application /

Configure Ext. LED].

In the topmost drop-down list the user can select one of five actions, depending on the

actual easYgen device, to be taken upon communication failure (Warning, Shutdown, Trip

and Stop, Trip, Indication).

Below are the sixteen rows for the configurable signals, corresponding to easYlite-200's

LEDs. In the first column, the output status can be selected (normally closed or normally

open). In the second column, one of the parameters is selected to be associated with the

specific LED. The drop-down menu in the third column allows to specify the light color

(red, green or yellow), while in the last one - the light output variation (continuous light,

flashing fast, flashing slow)

Where the “Mute button TX enable” box is checked in the ToolKit configuration screen, the

easYlite-200 can silence the horn signal from the easYgen device (depending on the

configuration). If this function is not active, the easYlite can only turn off its own flashing

LEDs.

Once the configuration is complete, the user can print the LED labels by means of the

“Label print” button. The following screen opens:

Once printed, the (two) paper strips with the signal designations can be inserted from

top, as indicated by the arrows in ╚═▷ Fig. 5 below

In the first drop-down menu ("Module"), either of the two easYlite-200 devices is selected.

In "Baud rate", the rate of data transmission for RS-485 is set.

The third drop-down list allows to select the number of stop bits in the transmitted data

(one or two) for RS-485. the fourth - the CAN bus baud rate.

Finally, in the fifth menu the bit is set for the relay output. If "Horn " is chosen, the relay

will be energized upon incoming alarm set in the easYgen device. If "Com Fail" is

selected, the output is closed when communication failure is detected. The third option

enables to energize the relay when either of these takes place

Operating the easYlite-200

When the easYlite-200 is powered up, the communication status lamp is illuminated

green, while the remaining LEDs flash yellow for a short time (less than a second).

The communication bus status is indicated by the status lamp 5.

If a warning, an alarm or any predefined operational state is present, which is assigned to

any of the sixteen LED lamps, the assigned lamp will illuminate in line with its

configuration in ToolKit.

If the horn is enabled by an alarm condition, it may be silenced with the acknowledge

button 4. if this is configured in easYgen's ToolKit.

A function test of all LEDs may be conducted by pressing the control button 3.

Relay Output

Description

The easYlite-200 device is equipped with an output relay to an external signaling device/

horn.

It can be configured in three ways, with the respective output dependent upon the:

• status of the incoming horn signal (RPDO)

• status of the communication interface failure

• both.

It is reset as follows:

• Where set to "Communication failure", the relay is reset automatically if the the

communication bus is ok.

• Where set to "Horn", it is reset by:

◦ the acknowledge button, if the genset control configurtion allows this

◦ horn acknowledgement on the genset control.

Silencing the horn

If the genset control has the horn activated, this can be silenced by pressing the

acknowledge button , if the genset control configurtion allows this. This disables the

horn of the genset control and the easYlite-200 output relay. A complete

acknowledgement of the alarm, however, can only be performed on the genset control.

Communication interface failures, which may result in energizing the output relay, cannot

be silenced
