BSM / USM - Panel-mounted fault annunciator

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and functionalities of the Panel Mounted Fault Annunciator Series, including models BSM-C, BSM-P, and USM. These devices are designed for panel mounting and can handle up to 192 alarms by cascading multiple units.
Specifications: Annunciators are available with 8 to 48 signal inputs, grouped in sets of 8. They feature integrated push buttons, function inputs, relays, and self-monitoring capabilities. The USM model includes communication interfaces like Modbus RTU/TCP and IEC protocols, along with IT security features.
Functionalities: The devices support various alarm sequences, store process images during power failures, and offer a mute function. They can switch between manned and unmanned operation modes and support cascading for system integration.
Customization and Interfaces: BSM-P and USM models allow parameterization via a web server and support parameter import from Excel templates. They offer integrated relays and redundant power supplies, with the USM model providing extensive protocol interfaces for SCADA system integration.
Alarm and Relay Management: Configuration details include alarms, horn functions, and relay assignments, with functional inputs and buttons for operations like alarm acknowledgment and lamp tests.
Additional Features: Annunciators can be equipped with Modbus RTU interfaces and support cascading through a CAN-Bus interface. The USM model offers additional network interfaces for enhanced connectivity.
Specifications and Interfaces: The system supports multiple communication protocols, including IEC 61850, SNMP, and Syslog, and can connect to up to four clients using the IEC 60870-5-101/104 interface.
Application Example: USM modules act as acquisition devices, processing and signaling alarms on-site and transferring them to a control level via the IEC 60870-5-101/104 interface.
Integration and Mirroring: In large plants, USM systems can reduce wiring by mirroring alarms over a network to a central USM or another field station using the IEC 61850 protocol.
Configuration and Security: The USM includes an integrated web server for parameterization, supports logic functionality with Boolean expressions, and adheres to BDEW security guidelines.
Event Recording and Labeling: An event recorder archives alarm events, system errors, and protocol interface events, with customizable labeling options.
Power Supply and Feature Cards: Annunciators can have redundant power supplies and additional feature cards like analog input and relay cards, with various configurations available.
Additional Options: Options include internally generated signal voltage and various configurations for relays and analog inputs.
Specifications and Options: The 16-fault annunciator is available with additional cards only in wide housing, with specific configurations for USM models.
Accessories: Includes MSM-RM external relay modules, blind or frontplates for rack-mounting, parameterization accessories, patch cables, and software upgrades.

BSM / USM - Panel-mounted fault annunciator-2

General system description - annunciator variants The fault annunciator is available in three different categories: • BSM-C: Basic version (starting from version 3.4) • BSM-P: Software-parameterisable version (starting from version 3.4) • USM: Annunciator with communication interfaces (from version 4.4, delivery from November 2023) The fault annunciators are offered with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 signal inputs. The signal inputs are combined in groups of 8 alarms each. Each group is assigned to an slide-in pocket for individually created labeling strips. The closed front panel includes 4 buttons,...

BSM / USM - Panel-mounted fault annunciator-3

BSM-C: Basic version In the basic version, configuration of the annunciator is done by DIP-switches. The following settings can be done: • Alarm sequence (first-up, no-first-up or operation indication) • NO- or NC-principle of the inputs cardwise (8 inputs) • Master/slave configuration and assignment of address for cascaded annunciator system • Horn triggering by subsequent alarms The function inputs, push buttons and function relays have the following fixed functions: • Function input 1 - external horn acknowledgement • Function input 2 - external acknowledgement • Function input 3* - external...

BSM / USM - Panel-mounted fault annunciator-5

BSM-P and USM have 2 horn functions. The parameterization can be used to define which group alarms or non-grouped alarms control the respective horn functions. In a second step it can be set which relay is controlled by a horn function. Additionally it can be parameterized whether the horn function 1 controls the internal horn. Internal horn For the horn function the following parameters are settable: 5In case of conflicts between the settings for horn activation and horn priority acknowledgement, the setting for the horn priority acknowledgement setting that is valid for all alarms always prevails....

BSM/USM In addition, the mute function can be used. After activation of this function by a parameterized button or a parameterized function input, the horn is not triggered or is automatically acknowledged after a parameterizable time. Furthermore, the horn control is deactivated in the "Unmanned operation" state. 6. Buttons and functional inputs The following functionalities are assignable for the 4 buttons and 2 functional inputs. Multiple assignments are possible: • Acknowledgment lamps Group*) 1,2, 3 or unassigned alarms • Reset Group*) 1, 2 , 3 or unassigned alarms • Acknowledgement Horn...

BSM / USM - Panel-mounted fault annunciator-7

Produktbezeichnung BSM/USM Cascading With the cascading functionality up to four devices can be grouped to an annunciating system by connecting the devices via the systembus provided at the CAN-Bus sockets. One device works as “master” and the connected devices work as “slave”. Thus systems with up to 192 signal inputs (4*48) can be realized. Thus, the connected devices will be processing as a virtual compound annunciator with common signalling (alarm sequence, forming of collective reports and horn triggering). Acknowledgement as well as output of the collective reports and horn triggering can...

BSM / USM - Panel-mounted fault annunciator-9

4. Mirroring of single alarms In this application example, the USM48 is used to signal faults that are "collected" by various devices via the IEC interface. An additional wiring of the individual fault alarm contacts is therefore not necessary. Central visualisation for "mirrored information" Acquisition devices In larger plant areas and complex processes, important individual states from the field are often required at central points or control rooms. In classical systems, 1:1 relays are used, which means a high amount of wiring. With USM fault reporting systems this effort can be greatly reduced....
