System Description and Configuration of sat-nms Deice Controller
The sat-nms Deice Controller is characterized by an efficient and energy-saving deicing control
sequence. The module provides interfaces for up to 16 heating elements with opto-coupled in- and
outputs and potential free-relay outputs. It can be mounted as outdoor unit into a cabinet next to the
antenna or as indoor unit. All loop parameters and the temperature slope are software-configurable.
This means, it is possible to adapt the deicing sequence to your needs and optimizing the power
consumption. All heater elements are controlled separately, will be only activated if necessary and will
be switched off immediately if they are not required anymore. With the SatService solution, you will get
full local and remote monitoring & control capability for this controller. The sat-nms MNC module
includes an integrated web-server with an Ethernet interface so that the operator can also monitor and
control the deicing via its web-browser - both locally or remote
whenever it is connected to the same LAN. The M&C module provides
the following interfaces for monitoring & control via external
equipment:
• Serial Remote Control Protocol via RS232
• TCP/IP via the 100-Base-T Ethernet Interface
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
• Remote Control Protocol over HTTP get request
The sat-nms Deice Controller is supplied with 24VDC. The
dimensions of the module are 264x165x60mm, it weighs 1.5 kg
and is mounted on a DIN-Rail.
Interfaces
• 48 digital Input
• 16 digital Output
• 8 Interfaces to control hot plates
• 4 analog Inputs for external PT1000 Sensors
• RS232, Ethernet
• 24V DC Power Output
Web Interface - Current State
The following pages explain web-based graphical interface of the sat-nms Deice Controller. The 'State'
page is the main page of the sat-nms Deice-Controller that shows the current state of all in- and
outputs. The page shows all information about the input / output states, temperature readings and
faults. The page is read-only.
Deice Operation
The operation table shows the current state of the operation parameters:
• Mode: The mode state shows the operation state of the deicing controller. The following modes are possible:
o OFF: The deice function is off; all other operation states will be reset to the start parameters

o MANUAL: The deicing will start manually by overwriting the deice sensor state. The Heater/Blowers will only start if the ambient sensor states ON, the ambient
temperature is below the threshold, the internal reflector temperature is below the
threshold minus the hysteresis and no alarm exists of the Heater/Blower.
o AUTO: The system operates in auto mode that is the normal operation mode. Snow on the deice sensor will trigger the deice procedure.
• Request Deice: This state shows that a deice cycle is requested and the loop control of the Heater/Blowers is active.
• Active Stages: This state shows, which stage of the Heater/Blowers is active.
o 0 = no stage is active
o 1 = all Heater/Blowers selected are active
o 2 = stage 1 and 2 are active
o 3 = all stages are active
• Temperature slop: During the heating phase, this value shows the temperature slope in the main reflector in °C per min. This value compared with the corresponding threshold is used to select the
number of used stages.
• Summary alarm: This state shows the summary alarm of the deice section.
Deice Sensor State
The Sensor State shows the current state of each sensor involved in the deice procedure:
• Deice Sensor / Remaining Time: The State ON means the sensor is triggered by snow. The remaining time counter
will be started after the sensor falls back to OFF and will
display the time how long the deice cycle will be kept on
after loss of the input trigger.
• Optic Sensor / Panel Temp.: This state will be displayed if snow is inside the reflector and shows the temperature of the panel in the main reflector.
• Ambient Temp. Sensor: This state is ON if the temperature is below the configured temperature sensor value and below the real measured value. Attention! Only if the state is ON and the value is
below the adjusted threshold deicing is possible.
• Reflector Temp. bottom / top: This value is used to control the temperature inside the reflector for the adjusted threshold.
• Sub-Reflector Control Temp.: This state controls the ON/OFF State of the sub-reflector heating.
Deice Heater/Blower State
The Heater/Blower State shows the current state of each Heater/Blower:
• The second column shows the name of the specific Heater/Blower unit to identify the device.
• The third column displays the state ON/OFF
• The fourth column gives information in which stages the Heater/Blower operates. Outputs configured as 'UNUSED' show neither a circuit name
nor an ON/OFF state.

• The fifth and sixth columns show the alarm state of each Heater/Blower unit. Two separate Alarm Inputs are foreseen for each Heater/Blower Unit. Inputs configured as 'UNUSED' show neither an
OK/FLT state.
Rain-blower Operation
The operation table shows the current state of the operation parameters:
• Mode: The mode state shows the operation state of the rain- blower controller. The following modes are possible:
o OFF: The rain-blower function is off; all other operation states will be reset to the start
parameters.
o MANUAL: The rain-blower will start manually by overwriting the rain sensor state. The Heater/Blower will only start if there is no alarm of the Heater/Blower.
o AUTO: The system operates in auto mode that is the normal operation mode. Rain or snow on the deice sensor will trigger the rain-blower procedure.
• Request Rain-Blower: This state shows that a rain-blower cycle is requested and the control of the Heater/Blower is active.
• Summary Alarm: This state shows the summary alarm of the rain-blower section.
Rain Blower Sensor State
The sensor state shows the current state of each sensor which is involved in the rain-blower procedure:
• Rain or Deice Sensor / Remaining Time: The State ON means, the sensor is triggered by snow or rain. The
remaining time counter will start after the sensor falls
back to OFF and will display the time how long the rain-blower cycle will be kept on after loss of the
input trigger.
Rain-blower Heater/Blower State
The Heater/Blower state shows the current state of the feedhorn
blower.
Web Interface - Settings
The page 'Settings' is used
to configure the sat-nms
Deice Controller. It is
possible to change any
parameters in this page.
• 'Operation Mode Deice' and 'Operation Mode
Rainblower' are

• The 'Loop Parameters' are adjustable values for the heating control.
Web Interface - Setup
The pages accessible through the 'Setup' menu items contain the sat-nms Deice Controller's installation
parameters. Installation parameters are protected by an administrator password, without a successful
login as administrator you may view the configuration settings but you may not change them.
• General Setup: Contains general configuration parameters like communication interface settings, passwords etc.
• Output Circuits: The usage of the output circuits of the sat-nms Deice Controller will be configured on this page like Blower/Heater, Sub Reflector, Feed Horn Blower
• Input Circuits: The usage of the input circuits is configured on this page like alarm contacts of the heater, digital temperature sensors, etc.
• Temperature Sensors: The temperature sensors connected to the sat-nms Deice Controller are configured on this page.
• State All: State of all Inputs and Outputs in the basic format
• Set Outputs: Setting of all Outputs, which are set as normal outputs.
Event Log
The sat-nms Deice Controller provides an internal event log recording all changes at input circuits,
output circuit actuations and temperature limit alarms. Each event is stored with a time stamp read
from the sat-nms Deice Controller's real time clock. The event log is limited to a size of 500 events, the
log works as a circular buffer and recent entries automatically overwrite the elder ones. The event log
-

resides in the sat-nms Deice Controller's volatile memory; the log always starts empty when the sat-nms
Deice Controller is powered on.
Auto Mode Sequence
When the AUTO mode is selected, the system is controlled by an ambient temperature sensor, a
reflector temperature sensor, optic sensor for snow, 4x PT1000 sensors to measure the real value and
the Rain/Snow Sensor Controller. Is the temperature below the ambient temperature and water is
detected, the sat-nms Deice Controller will trigger the deice procedure.
For example, snow is detected by the snow sensor, sub reflector heater and stage 1 with all
Heater/Blowers selected turning on in 1-second intervals. The temperature slope shows the user during
the heating phase the temperature slope in the main reflector in °C per min. This value compared with
the corresponding threshold is used to select the number of used stages.
The delay time will start after the snow sensor goes back to OFF. If the optic sensor detects no snow
during the delay time the heaters are switched off prematurely.
