Connect the SPA-ZC 400 module to REF 541/3/5, REM 543/5 or RET 541/3/5 and screw SPA-ZC 400 to the 9-pin type D-connectors. Connect the LAN cable to the LAN connector of SPA-ZC 400. The other end of the cable is connected to the Modbus protocol over TCP/IP through the Ethernet switch.
SPA-ZC 400 Ethernet Adapter 1MRS756014 Modbus/TCP Brigde Installation and Commissioning Manual 5. The CET for SPA-ZC 40x Installation program starts. In this dialog, click Next. With the Back button you can return to the previous dialog, and with the Cancel button, exit the installation wizard. This applies to all the dialogs in the installation wizard.
To connect SPA-ZC 400, the used computer and SPA-ZC 400 must use the same address space. To change the computer's IP address space to be the same as in SPA-ZC 400: 1. Open the Network Connections in Control Panel. 2. Type, for example, the following IP address to the IP address box: 192.168.2.1.
Fig. 4.3.1.-1 Changing IP address 4.3.2. Checking connection to SPA-ZC 400 Check the connection to SPA-ZC 400 by using the ping command: 1. Open the Run dialog. 2. Type cmd to the Open box, see Fig. 4.3.2.-1. A060242 Fig. 4.3.2.-1 Starting command prompt 3.
Page 21
Pinging SPA-ZC 400 SPA-ZC 400 responds to the ping command if the computer and SPA-ZC 400 are on the same network. 5. If SPA-ZC 400 responds with the IP address, the connection is established between the computer and SPA-ZC 400.
5.1. Overview of engineering The engineering and maintenance of SPA-ZC 400 is done by using CET for SPA-ZC 40x functions or by importing the existing SPA-ZC 40x CID file. The device's communication structure is described in the Project Explorer dialog.
Creating a new project 5.3. Restarting Use this function to restart the SPA-ZC 400 at runtime. 1. Select IED and Tools > Reset Tool to open the restart pane, see Fig. 5.3.-1 2. Click Reset. The results are reported to the UI text box.
Fig. 5.4.-1 shows an example of the object tree when it has been built. In the example tree you can see the SPA-ZC 400 object and its child objects as devices and data objects. Indentation is used to indicate the parent-child...

SPA-ZC 400 Ethernet Adapter 1MRS756014 Modbus/TCP Brigde Installation and Commissioning Manual A051858 Fig. 5.4.-1 Example view of the SPA-ZC 40x Communication Engineering Tool You have several possible ways to add objects to the object tree in the communication structure: You can use the right mouse button (right-click) to select the object to which you want to add a child object.
5.5. Configuring by using imported CID file If you have to configure several SPA-ZC 400 with the similar settings, it is possible to import a previously generated CID file and change the communication addresses, typically by changing the IP address.
Configuring communication parameters SPA-ZC 400 communication parameters are located in the device properties. SPA-ZC 400 uses static IP addresses, which have to be defined in the planned network structure. For uplink network settings, see Sections 5.6.1. Uplink network settings and 5.6.2.
Page 29
SNTP Servers SPA-ZC 400 uses SNTP as its own real-time clock. The time is used to synchronize an IED with Modbus. The secondary SNTP server is used if the primary SNTP server for some reason drops off the network.
The possible communication speed settings of the Modbus bus are: 1200 bps 2400 bps 4800 bps 9600 bps 19200 bps 38400 bps Receive Timeout Receive Timeout defines how long SPA-ZC 400 waits for the slave’s respond before it considers the slave to be non-responding. The unit is milliseconds.
1. Select the SPAZC40x_MODBUS Device object and right-click to select the CID Export. 2. If you download configuration to SPA-ZC 400 the first time, change the IP address from default address (192.168.2.10) to new IP address according to the planned network structure.

Fig. 5.7.-1 Downloading the device's configuration If SPA-ZC 400 is connected to a system where the connection to it can be obtained, the Export function tries to determine the SPA-ZC 400 version and exports the export file accordingly. If the connection is disabled, prompt the correct version to be exported, see Fig.
Page 33
1MRS756014 Ethernet Adapter SPA-ZC 400 Modbus/TCP Brigde Installation and Commissioning Manual You can export a configuration in CID format from CID Export tool to hard drive. This SCL is usually used by System Configuration tool. It is possible to export a dataset in SCL files in different levels. If you select to export a dataset in FCD level, for example an information report from SPA-ZC 40x contains always value quality and time in one structure.
LEDs. When the SPA-ZC 400 configuration is completed, the green LED is If the configuration fails, check the error log files from the SPA-ZC 400 file system. The status and error logs are located in the /log directory. For more information about maintenance, refer to Chapter 8.
