4. Structure and Composition

SACO 16D3 is composed of the following standardized 100mm×160mm Euro-card plug-in modules:

SACO 16D3 Alarm Unit Structure

① Power Supply Module: SPGU 240A1 or SPGU 48B2

② Input/Output Module: SWIM 2A1

③ Alarm Display Module: SWPM 3A1

④ Relay Output Module: SWOM 16A1

⑤ Connection Module: SWCM 11A1

⑥ Housing: Extruded aluminum profile mounting cabinet

System Architecture: The power supply module converts the auxiliary voltage into 48V DC for internal use; 16 alarm input channels are processed by SWIM 2A1; the core processing unit SWPM 3A1 performs signal analysis and logical judgment; SWOM 16A1 provides relay outputs; the connection module SWCM 11A1 is responsible for all external wiring.

5. Application Fields

• Power Plants: Monitor the operating status of key equipment such as boilers, steam turbines, and generators.
• Substations: Power equipment status monitoring and alarming.
• Industrial Automation: Manufacturing industry, process control systems.
• Building Automation: Building monitoring systems.
• Transportation: Rail transit signal systems.
• Marine Applications: Offshore facility monitoring.
• Energy Management: Monitoring of power system safety and effective energy use.

6. Installation and Maintenance

6.1 Installation Requirements

• Installation Method: Embedded panel installation.
• Power Connection: Equipped with two identical power input terminals, but usually only one input is used; if dual power supplies are used, electrical isolation between the power supplies must be ensured.
• Grounding Requirements: The protective grounding terminal needs to be connected.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid high temperature, high humidity, and strong electromagnetic interference environments.

6.2 Terminal Layout

Connection Terminal Assignment:

• Auxiliary Power Supply: 20-24
• Protective Ground: 22
• On-site Contact Circuit: 49-72
• Confirmation/Reset: 16-18
• Flashing Output: 5-12, 73-85
• Serial Interface: 1-3, 13-14
• 16 Alarm Channel Inputs: 50-71
• 16 Relay Outputs: 73-86

6.3 Maintenance Points

• Relay Output Mode Switching: To switch between "Signal Follower" and "Group Alarm" modes, remove the front panel, pull out the alarm module SWPM 3A1, and insert the flat cable into the corresponding interface (SIGNAL FOLLOWER or GROUP ALARM).
• Parameter Storage: Parameters are stored in non-volatile EEPROM, which can be modified via front panel buttons, and access rights can be protected by jumpers on the circuit board.
• Maintenance Cycle: It is recommended to regularly check the tightness of wiring and the cleanliness of terminals.
• Troubleshooting: Use the front panel indicator lights and serial interface to read system status and event records.
