3 Functional description
3.1 Basic set-up of the BSM

The annunciators are available in 2 versions.

 BSM-C: Basic version, configurable by DIP-switches

 BSM-P: Software-parameterisable version

The fault annunciators are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 signal inputs. The alarms are aligned
to groups of 8 inputs each on the device front. The closed front panel contains 4 push buttons, bi-
colour LED displays (red / green) and slide-in pockets for the labelling strips. The buttons have the
functions “horn acknowledement”, “alarm acknowledgement” and “lamp test” for the BSM-C and are
parameterisable for the BSM-P.

Two function inputs are available and can be used according to the chosen reporting sequence (e.g.
for external acknowledgement).
The annunciator features four change-over relays as integrated function relays. Alarm specific
functions (e.g. collective report or external horn triggering) as well as signalization of any malfunction
through a live-contact can be realized with the function relays.
All annunciators of the series BSM feature status retention upon power failure. This means that after
restoration of the supply voltage, the alarm status as of the moment of power failure is retained.

To forward single alarms input- or output parallel to a relay contact, two different methods can be
used:

1. Integration of additional relay cards (8 NO contacts each) as repeat relays. The assignment of
inputs to repeat relays can be done individually for BSM-P annunciators. The integrated
repeat relays are available as an option and have to be considered when ordering the device.
2. Connection of external relay modules through the CAN-Bus interface. For further details to the
relay extension modules, please refer to the separate datasheet MSM-EM-DB-UK.

All BSM fault annunciators provide a hardware-watchdog and software-monitoring. The fault-free
operation is indicated by an OK-LED and through a relay contact (live-contact).

Each fault annunciator features an internal horn. Additionally, an external horn can be triggered
through a function relay.

The parameterisation of the BSM-P is done through the USB-parameterisation interface by means of a
parameterisation software. By these means the reporting sequence, input processing, assignment to
collective reports and horn triggering can be defined and protocol parameters, IP-address and
information object addresses can be parameterized. A detailed descripition of the parameterization
can be found in the section “Parameterisation”. Customised special reporting sequences can be
realized ex factory upon request.

The fault annunciator BSM provides USB and CAN-Bus interfaces, which will be described regarding
functionality and usage in the following sections.

Additional explanations to the integrated alarm sequeces can be found in the

separate document „Alarm sequences of EES-Fault annunciators“ (SM-MA-ZI-UK).
(Dokumentenname SM-MA-ZI-DE).

MSM-BSM2G-BA-UK-000 Page 9 of 35
Functional description

3.2 Internal Relay cards (optional)

The optionally integrated relay cards (8 NO contacts each) are independent from the 4 function relays
of the annunciator and can be assigned to the following functions:

1. In- or output parallel multiplication and forwarding of single alarms within the annunciator and
without the requirement for connection of external relay modules MSM-RM.
2. Issue of collective reports and triggering of external horn

The 8 relays of one board have one common root. Triggering and functionality can be adapted
individually by means of the parameterization software for the BSM-P, e.g. inversion of the signal. For
BSM-C these functions are fixed assigned.

3.3 Dual power supply (optional)

Independent from the primary power supply, a second, redundant power supply can be integrated into
the fault annunciator. Two different voltage variants are available:

 24 – 60 V AC/DC
 110 – 220 V AC/DC

The voltage level of the redundant power supply can be chosen independently from the voltage level
of the primary power supply. Both primary and secundary power supply are integrated into the self-
monitoring of the annunciator and any malfunction is indicated on the live-contact. Additionally,
presence of the supply voltage is indicated for both power supplies by an LED on the rear of the
device.

3.4 Cascading of several fault annunciators

With the cascading functionality one BSM or USM and up to 3 BSM (BSM-C or BSM-P) can be
grouped to an annunciating system which is processed as a virtual compound annunciator with
common signalling (reporting sequence, forming of collective reports and horn triggering).
The USM (universal fault annunciator) is comparable to a BSM-P, but additionally provides a
communication interface IEC 60870-5-101/104 or IEC 61850. Through the communication interface of
the USM, signals and alarms of the whole annunciating system can be addressed.

The communication within the annunciating system is done through the integrated CAN-Bus interface.
The devices are connected to each other by means of a patch-cable. The first BSM or USM works as
“master” and the connected BSM-C or BSM-P act as “slave”. Thus a system with up to 192 (4*48)
signals can be realized. When creating an annunciating system, please note that the number of
channels of the USM has to be bigger or equal to the number of channels of the connected BSM
devices.
External MSM relay modules cannot be connected to cascaded annunciators.

The parameterization is done in the master fault annunciator (USM or BSM-P) by

means of the web-server and is distributed automatically to the slave devices.
Further information to the above mentioned USM can be found in the separate
operting manual for USM (MSM-USM2G-BA-UK).

3.5 Labelling

Labelling of the annunciators is done by means of

designation strips that can be inserted beneath
the cover foil after removing the front frame.

The designation strips with signal names can be

created and printed directly from the
parameterisation software for the BSM-P. For
manual generation of labelling strips for BSM-C
or BSM-P patterns in Word-format are available.

 Functional description
3.7 Diagnosis

For monitoring and evaluation of the system functions diagnosis information is available by signalling
of errors on the watchdog LEDs and relay contacts.

3.7.1 Watchdog-LED „Self-monitoring“ and Live-relay

The watchdog-LED „self-monitoring“ gives information about the current status of the annunciator
device or system:

 Steady light green = no error

 Flashing green = initialisation of the annunciator
 Flashing red = error
 Off = no power supply

From the flashing sequence, an error code can be read which defines the error. A flashing sequence
consists of:


st
Number of long flashing pulses  1 digit of the error code

nd
Number of short flashing pulses  2 digit of the error code
 Pause

Example: long, short, short, pause = error code 12

If multiple errors are at issue, the LED displays the error with the highest priority.

In addition to the watchdog LED “Self-monitoring” the live-relay signalises the operational state of the
annunciator by means of a change-over contact.

Configuration

5 Configuration
For both BSM-C and BSM-P some main settings of the annunciator can be defined by configuration
through DIP-switches. If further settings are required additional parameterisation by software is
possible for the BSM-P ( section “Parameterisation”).

To apply the DIP-switch settings to the annunciator, DIP-switch S1/4 has to be set to ON.
If the additional options of the software parameterisation are to be used for the BSM-P,
the DIP-switch S1/4 has to be set to OFF (default setting).

5.3 Configuration of the relay groups

The DIP-switches of the relay groups (S30 – S38) have no function in these annunciator variants.

The relay groups are set as follows:

 Relays are assigned 1:1 to the respective inputs.

 If only 1 or 2 relay groups (8 relays each) are integrated (e.g. BSM48), these are assigned to
the first or the first two alarm groups (8 inputs each).
 The relays are triggered input parallel.
 The relays are not inverted.

For the BSM-P these settings can be changed in the parameterisation software.

5.4 Default settings

 LED-colour - red for fault signalling and green for operation indication
 Function input 1 - horn acknowledgement
 Function input 2 - acknowledgement
 Button 1 - horn acknowledgement
 Button 2 - acknowledgement
 Button 3 - lamp test
 Button 4 - not assigned
 Function relay 1 - collective report 1
 Function relay 2 - not assigned
 Function relay 3 - external horn
 Function relay 4 - live-contact
 Collective report - static / outputparallel
 Horn - retriggerable by subsequent alarm, manual acknowledgement
 Horn lock - none

The following functions can be carried out on this page:

Store parameterisation

With this function the configuration of the annunciator can be stored on the PC as ucf-file and loaded
as parameterisation file later. The file will be stored in the default download folder of the internet
browser. Additionally the configuration can be exported in html-format for documentation purposes. If
a cascaded annunciator system has been defined, the parameter files of the up to 3 slave devices can
be exported as well. In this case the respective annunciator has to be chosen by the checkbox.

Chosing a slave annunciator is possible only when the respective annunciators have been added in
the parameterisation of the annunciator functionality.

Load parameterisation

With this function a parameter file (UCF-file) can be imported and used. If a cascaded annunciator
system has been defined, the parameter files for the up to 3 slave devices can be imported as well. In
this case the respective annunciator has to be chosen by the checkbox. Chosing a slave annunciator
is possible only when the respective annunciators have been added in the parameterisation of the

Parameterisation

Fig. 6.9: Printing version of a labelling strip

In the table the following parameters can be defined for each signal channel.

Field Explanation
I Channelnumber (fixed assigned)
Signal name Designation of the respective channel
This designation will be used when printing the labelling strips. A 2-line labelling can
be realised by separating the second line by “\” (backslash) from the first line (e.g.
“Bucholtz\Alarm”).
OI Operation indication
If this checkbox is ticked, the signal will be treated as operation indication.
If this box is unchecked (default setting), the signal will be processed according to the
chosen reporting sequence ( page reporting sequence).
By defining the signal to be operation indication or fault annunciation, the LED-colour
will automatically be set according to the settings on the page “LED-colour”. Default
settings: operation indication = green, fault annunciation = red.
NC Normally closed principle of the inputs (when checkbox is ticked)
Normally open principle: application of a voltage at the input triggers an alarm.
Normally closed principle: voltage drop at the input triggers an alarm.
Default setting: Checkbox not ticked – normally open principle.
DT Debouncing time
The debouncing time defines the timespan for which a signal must continuously be
applied before an alarm is issued. This prevents multiple alarms in the case of a
bouncing switch.
Time 0 ms … 1000 ms, settable in steps of 1 ms.
RD _|¯ ¯|_ Response delay
The response delay delays a debounced and defluttered alarm before it is displayed,
forwarded or deleted. This time span is considerably longer than the debouncing time .
The response delay can be set from 0…32400s (9h) in two different patterns (values
< 30s in steps of 1 ms, values > 30s in steps of 1 s).
The value can be entered in three formats:
1. Single number e.g. 100 will be interpreted in seconds  100 s
2. .xxx e.g. .100 will be interpreted in milliseconds  100 ms
3. mmm:ss.xxx will be interpreted in minutes, seconds and milliseconds
e.g. 111:22.0  111 minutes and 22 seconds
The checkboxes _|¯ and ¯|_ for rising and falling edge define for which signal edge
the alarm delay is active.
_|¯ checked: delay is active for coming alarm
¯|_ checked: delay is active for receding alarm
Table 6.1a: Parameters of reporting channels

Page 28 of 35 MSM-BSM2G-BA-UK-000
 Parameterisation

Field Explanation
DF The defluttering prevents alarms from being triggered and reset permanently e.g. by
a loose contact. The defluttering acts after the response delay (debouncing). If an
input changes more often than the defined number of edges within the fluttering time,
the defluttering comes into effect and the alarm channel is marked as faulty.
This information is only relevant for IEC communication and does not affect
the local display of the annunciator!
Number of edges: 0 … 255
Fluttering time: 0 ms … 65535 ms, ~1 min., in steps of 1 ms
Default settings: 5/100
CR1, CR2, Assignment to collective reports
CR3 The alarm triggers the collective report which is checked here. Multiple allocations are
possible. All alarms that are assigned to one collective report from a group. This
assignment takes effect for acknowledgement and reset.
HT Horn triggering
None: Alarm does not trigger horn
With horn lock: Horn acknowledgement only possible after lamp acknowledge
No horn lock: Horn acknowledgement always possible
A Activation of the alarm channel
If this checkbox is unticked, the channel will not be processed. The alarm will be
ignored within the complete system.
Default setting: channel activated

Here the trigger for the relay can be defined. The following options are available:
 Function collective report 1,2 or 3
 Function horn triggering
 Available galvanic signal inputs

Relay is active
By unchecking the tickbox the relay is deactivated.

Inverted
When this checkbox is ticked, the respective function is negated. In this case e.g. the relay drops
when a collective report is at issue and is energized when no collective report is at issue.

Output parallel
If the relay is triggered from a signal input, it can be defined if the relay directly follows the input (input
parallel) or if it is activated until the corresponding alarm is acknowledged (stored alarm = output
parallel).
Tickbox checked – Relay follows the stored alarm (= output parallel).

 Parameterisation
6.7 Cascaded annunciator systems

From a BSM (Master) and up to 3 Slaves (BSM-C or BSM-P) a cascaded annunciator system can be
formed which disposes of one common alarm processing (reporting sequence, forming of collective
reports and horn triggering). Instead of the BSM-Master, also a USM can be the master device in a
cascaded annunciator system. In this case, the parameterisation is done according to the instructions
in the operation manual for the USM.

The communication between the master and slave devices is realized through the integrated CAN-Bus
interface. One BSM acts as “master” and the connected BSM-C or BSM-P act as “slave”. Thus
systems with up to 192 signal inputs (4*48) can be realized.
When creating a cascaded annunciating system, please note that the slave devices have to be smaller
than or equal to the master device. MSM-relay-modules cannot be connected to cascaded
annunciators.

Please note the required DIP-switch settings according to the section cascading (DIP-
switch combination S1).

Fig. 6.15: Example of a cascaded annunciator system

After Click on “Annuniator ++” in the menu bar a drop down list opens from which a new slave device
can be chosen. After choosing the respective device, a new menu “Annunciator 1, 2, 3” is added and
opened. The device can now be parameterised according to the settings for the master device (
section “Definition of annunciator functions”). The tab “Reporting sequence” is missing since the
sequence is identical with the master device.
With the additional button

the slave annunciator can be deleted from the configuration.

After accepting the configuration of the slave device, the parameters of the slave annunciator are
stored locally and can be transmitted to the master annunciator and furthermore distributed to the
respective slave with “send parameter”. Therefore the annunciators have to be connected through the
CAN-Bus interface.
Independent from the parameterised devicename, the slave annunciator will be
displayed under the name „Annunciator (1…3)“ in the menu bar and can be
parameterised according to the requirements.

By this means, up to three slave annunciators can be defined and

parameterised.
