SEDEMAC - Smart Config

Introduction

Smart Config is a PC based configuration utility to configure SEDEMAC's off highway products like GCU, ATS etc. SEDEMAC's Smart Config offers greater flexibility to configure each individual input and output, timers, generator, governor configurations and engine speed monitoring parameters. This Smart Config can be installed on Windows operating system. It allows the SEDEMAC controllers to be connected to a laptop/computer via USB.

Installation Instructions

System Requirements

Operating System: Windows 8 and 10 with Microsoft .Net 4.0 framework.

Communication: USB 2.0 Type A to Type B required for communication with the controller.

Installation Process for Smart Config

Following is the stepwise procedure for installation of Smart Config.

I. Locate the installer ‘’ SEDEMAC – Smart Config – setup.exe’’ on your system and double-click the setup file or icon.

Figure 1: SEDEMAC - Smart Config setup screen

II. Click on ‘’Next’’.

Figure 2: Installation destination folder screen

III. Click on ‘’Install’’ to start the installation.

A progress bar will show installation progress.

Figure 3: Smart Config installation screen

On completion of installation, a window will be shown as below.


Page | 3

Figure 4: Installation completion screen

IV. Click on ‘’Finish’’

Installation Process for USB Driver

When any device is connected to PC or laptop via USB, the device automatically gets detected by the PC and its driver gets installed. However, if it doesn’t get installed of its own then we need to install the USB driver manually on the laptop. Following is the stepwise procedure for USB driver installation manually.

I. Connect a USB cable between the controller and laptop. Put the controller in the ‘’Programming Mode’’. To enter the ‘’Programming Mode’’ in the controller, one has to long press ‘’Stop+Up’’ keys simultaneously for 3 seconds approximately. Ensure that the controller is in ‘’Programming Mode’’ which is indicated on LCD screen of the controller as shown below.

Figure 5: Programming mode screen

Different products may have different selection keys for entering the ‘’Programming Mode’’. The selection keys to enter the ‘’Programming Mode’’

for each product can be found in the mode selection diagram (refer section 3.5.1)

Once the controller enters the ‘’Programming Mode’’, go to ‘’Device Manager→ Ports (COM & LPT) →GCUSMPL’’.

Figure 6: Device manager screen

II. Right click on “GCUSMPL” and select “Update Driver Software”.

Figure 7: Update driver software screen

III. Choose “Browse my computer for driver software” to select the correct driver software.

Usage Instructions

Starting with Smart Config

Run the Smart Config installed on your system. Start-up screen will be displayed as shown below.

Figure 12: Start-up screen

The screen prompts the user to select between two options as follows.

OPTION 1:

Create new configuration and select your product:

Select the appropriate series (EG or GC series) depending upon the type of product (for example, GC 1200 is from GC Series), for which the configuration is to be deployed.

Example: Let’s take the example of GC1200 controller

As in the example we have taken GC1200 controller, so we need to select ‘’GC 1X Series’’ as shown below.

Figure 13: Create new configuration screen


Page | 8

Figure 14: Select the product screen

Then select the product’s name. (Here in the example GC1200 is taken)

OPTION 2:

Existing product configuration:

The user can open and edit a configuration file saved on the disc in ‘’.smc’’ format by clicking “Browse” and browsing to the file.

Figure 15: Selection of existing configuration screen


Page | 9

Application behaviour in case of an incompatible device

A device is said to be incompatible in following conditions

• The controller revision and Smart Config product revision mismatches (e.g. GC1200 R4.0 in GCU and GC1200 R5.0 in Smart Config)

• The product selected on Smart Config is different from the controller. (e.g. GC1100 R4.0 in GCU and GC1200 R5.0 in Smart Config)

If the device is incompatible, then Smart Config gives a pop-up message.

Figure 16: Incompatible device pop-up screen

• Select “Yes” and connect the correct controller or change the revision/product to a correct one on the Smart Config

• Select “No” to close the Smart Config utility.

Establishing Connection with the Controller

For establishing a connection with the genset/telecom controller, first open the ‘’Smart Config Software’’, then connect a USB cable between the controller and laptop and put the controller in ‘’Programming Mode’’ thereafter. To enter the ‘’Programming Mode’’ in the controller, one has to long press ‘’Stop+Up’’ keys simultaneously for 3 seconds approximately. To know the selection keys used

for the ‘’Programming Mode’’, one has to go to ‘’Help→Mode Selection’’. Refer section 3.5.1.

Different products may have different selection keys for entering the ‘’Programming Mode’’. The selection keys to enter the ‘’Programming Mode’’ for each product can be found in the mode selection diagram. Refer section 3.5.1.

A connection status message will be displayed at the bottom left corner of Smart Config screen.

Figure 25: Connection status message screen

It is possible to open, create and modify configurations without an active connection with the controller. However, for read and write operations of the controller, an active connection is required.


Page | 15

Tools

The Smart Config allows a set of actions to be performed in addition to editing and saving the configurations. These actions can be accessed under the ‘’Tools’’ menu, as shown below. These actions are enabled only if an active connection with a controller is detected.
