1 Introduction
This document describes the local user interface. All related functions are explained including all
parameters, data logging and interface to the remaining system. The overview document lists the complete
controller functionality and describes the documentation concept.

This document gives an overview of the ORION MENU structure displayed on UIL (User Interface Local)
and UIM1 (User Interface Module).

The UIL is the local user interface which covers the controller front face.

The MENU itself is controlled by the ORION SW and not by the UIM, the controller sends the data over the
CAN interface (named IMBUS) to the UIM.

The UIM SW handles the Start Mode, the Test Mode, the contrast and the IMBUS protocols. He sends the
"key-pressed" events, displays the incoming data and updates the LED's and Buzzer states.

2 Local user interfaces

Through the local interface, essential system configuration and monitoring can be conducted. The local
interface provides a 128 x 64 pixel LCD display, keypad for menu navigation, and five configurable LEDs.
In most applications, UIL1 meets all demands for local control, even for very large systems.
Because ORION can be mounted within a secure location, it may not be readily available to access the
UIL. The functions of the UIL can be repeated in a UIM module, which can be mounted in a more
convenient location, such as the cabinet door panel.

Fig 1: ORION Front view

3 Physical connections
ORION has an Ethernet connection on the front panel for connection to a computer. This connection can
be either direct to the computer, or over a local area network (LAN).
The system integration is done via backplane. The connector arrangement of a standard backplane is
presented below.

All peripheral connections are pluggable, using either telephone jacks or pluggable clamp connections.

4 Parameter Navigation
4.1 UIM1 Start Mode

The UIM1 starts in this mode, you have a short overview of the local keys-functions.

UIM1 Start Mode

EX& Contrast+
EX& Contrast-
EX&EN Test Mode
00032001000000001
HW Version: 00
SW Version: V1.00
Imbus ID: 01

The long number is the "Module Serial Number" programmed once in operation.

At start the UIM1 checks the RAM, the program CRC and the "Module Serial Number" CRC. If an error is
detected, a message appears and the UIM1 will not start to communicate with the controller.

Example:

UIM1 Error
EX&EN Test Mode
Program Not Ok
Manu Data Not Ok
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
HW Version: 00
SW Version: V1.00
Imbus ID: 01

The back-light is locally controlled and is always on.

The contrast is also locally controlled, you can change it by pressing EXIT and then  or  (keep EXIT
pressed) somewhere in the MENU structure.

In this mode the yellow COM LED (on the side) is Off and the UIM1 waits for the controller connection.

If the controller is not connected or if the CAN communication is not ok, you will see after some delay

"PSC3 Connection Awaited"

5 Test Mode
You can switch in test mode by pressing EXIT and then ENTER (keep EXIT pressed) somewhere in the
MENU structure.

5.1 UIM1
In this mode you can check the LEDs, the Buzzer and LCD Display, view the UIM1 Hardware and Software
Version and the Address Switch position.

UIM1 Test Mode

 LED On/Off
 BUZ On/Off
EN LCD Test
EX&EN Start Mode
HW Version: 00
SW: V1.00 B01 D04
Addr. Switch: 01

You have more information in the field SW Version (Build Version and Downloader Version).
In this mode the yellow COM LED is off and the UIM1 does not display the controller data.
Press EXIT and then ENTER (keep EXIT pressed) to switch in start mode again.

5
5.2 UIL Test Mode

In this mode you can check the LEDs and the LCD Display.

Additionally you can change the contrast by pressing EXIT and then  or  (keep EXIT pressed) and it will
be automatically saved in persistent memory when switching back in normal mode!

Test Mode
 LED On/Off
 LCD Test
EX&EN Normal Mode

Press EXIT and then ENTER (keep EXIT pressed) to switch back in normal mode!

Note: It is possible to change the contrast without entering the UIL test mode. By pressing EXIT and then 
or  (keep EXIT pressed) the contrast can be adjusted in normal operation mode. In this case the contrast
is not saved immediately.

6 Default Menu
The 5 basics system information Mode, Irect, Iload, Usys and Ibatt measurements are displayed per
default.

Additionally Battery State of Charge in % is displayed when the feature Battery Loss of Backup Time is
enabled.

TC indicates the activation of the Battery Temperature Compensation.

Blinking indicates that a web user has remote access to ORION over Ethernet or Modem interfaces.

Indicates that the Battery is currently discharging

Indicates that the Battery is currently charging

If the power system contains Photovoltaic converters (PVC) or DC Sources, the default menu will
additionally include one “Solar” icon with Ipvc measurement and one “Aux” icon with Isource measurement.

Please notes that the few text elements on these defaults pictures are in english and will not be translated
to avoid some problem of sizes.

Press  or  to select a Sub MENU
Press ENTER to enter in a Sub MENU, change a parameter or execute a command.
Press EXIT to quit a Sub MENU

If you don't press a key, the default MENU will pop up after a 3 minutes timeout.

The Menu Password will pop up if you press ENTER on an editable parameter (when the value is
highlighted) or execute a command like "Stop Alarm", "Clear Log" or …

You have three attempts to enter a password. Once a correct password is entered, it will stay valid until the
Default Menu pops up again (after a 3 minutes timeout or when you explicit go back).

The user can choose between usual or numerical password, for this the Numerical checkbox is available
on the WEB GUI under Home> Configuration > I/0 >User Interface in section Password.

9.1 Usual Password

The usual password is a 6 positions password build by the sequence of the 6 entered keys. For example
with "EXIT" you will not exit the Password Menu but the password position will be incremented.
The controller will check it as soon as the password is complete, namely after the sixth key pressed.

Example with Language

6.1.1 LANGUAGE ENTER PASSWORD

Copyright by Delta

The default Usual Password is UP UP DOWN EXIT EXIT ENTER

9.2 Numerical Password

The numerical password is a four positions number. UP and DN keys increment and decrement the figure
at actual cursor position, ENTER increments the cursor position.
The controller will check it as soon as the password is complete, namely after the fourth ENTER pressed.

Copyright by Delta

The default Numerical Password is “1234”.

9.3 No Access

If the a Web user is logged and if a UIM user try to edit a value, clear the logs, you have no write access
to the database and this message pops up for 1 second.

3.1.2
CLEAR LOG

No Write
Access

The commands "Stop Alarm" and "LVD Inhibit" have no access to the database, therefore always
possible.

9.4 Change Password

You can change the password In Menu 6.1.4 UIM PASSWORD. First you must enter the actual
password, then the new one and then the new one again to confirm.

You can also load the Default Password but for this action the factory Password is required!

The reload password is the usual or numerical default depending of the GUI Numerical Password
checkbox.

9.5 Start with Default Factory settings

In some special cases it will be useful for the user to start with the Default Factory Settings.

To start in this mode, press the EXIT key on UIL and give power to the controller, all the UIL LEDs will go
OFF after the start-up sequence, stop to press the EXIT key as soon as all LEDs are blinking.

Be careful, this action will overwrite your actual setup file, so if you want to keep a version of this file, save
it to a PC before.
