DCS Digital Control System
Introduction
DCS 400 Series modules expand the system control possibilities in an IRIS-Net system in many respects. Expanding the
DCS system is also possible after installation, in case additional functions are needed. A DCS system consists of a
single, two or three DCS 400 frames which can host different relay boards, logic input boards, and analog level input/
output boards. Connecting the DCS system with an IRIS-Net system controller is always accomplished using a DCS
801R controller module which gets connected via CAN-Bus to an IRIS-Net system controller. The maximum number of
DCS 801R modules that can be connected to an IRIS-Net system controller is 15; i.e. an IRIS-Net system controller can
maximally host 15 individual DCS systems. The complete configuration of a DCS system is created in IRIS-Net, where
you define the number and type of DCS cards to be used in the system as well as the functions of individual inputs and
outputs. The procedure of creating a configuration as well as the different options available during this process is
explained in detail in the following chapters.
DCS Device
First of all, create a new DCS device in your IRIS-Net project by dragging a DCS with the desired number of height units
(HU) from the Object List's Devices category or out of the Devices Window into the worksheet (please also refer to the
chapter "Configuration of Devices and Menus").
HINT: Before being able to add a DCS Device, a DPM 8016, N8000 or P 64 have to exist in the project already. Only
1 U units shall be used for EN 54 compliant systems.
Always make sure to add a DCS with a sufficient number of card slots in your IRIS-Net project. Subsequent
"heightening" of a DCS, e.g. from DCS 1HU to DCS 2HU, is not possible. The following dialog appears:
