 Introduction

1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation and setup requirements of the DSEM870 and
DSEM871 Controller and Display, part of the DSEControl® range of products.

The manual forms part of the product and should be kept for the entire life of the product. If the
product is passed or supplied to another party, ensure that this document is passed to them for
reference purposes.
This is not a controlled document. DSE do not automatically inform on updates. Any future updates of
this document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaelectronics.com

Observe the operating instructions. Non-observance of the instructions, operation not in accordance
with use as prescribed below, wrong installation or incorrect handling seriously affects the safety of
the product, operators and machinery.

A robust metal case designed for chassis mounting houses the module. Connections are via locking
plug and sockets.

The controller is supplied with no application program. The equipment manufacturer is responsible for
creating and managing the application program and installing it in the controller. This is achieved
using CODESYS V3.5 or Qt programming depending upon product variant. Contact DSE Technical
Support for further details.

2 CLARIFICATION OF NOTATION
Clarification of notation used within this publication.

Highlights an essential element of a procedure to ensure correctness.

NOTE:

Indicates a procedure or practice, which, if not strictly observed, could

CAUTION! result in damage or destruction of equipment.

Indicates a procedure or practice, which could result in injury to

WARNING! personnel or loss of life if not followed correctly.

2.1 GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Term Description
Application The application is the program that allows the DSEM870 to control the
machine it is connected to.
The Application within the DSEM870 is designed and provided by the
manufacturer of the complete machine.
Bootloader The Bootloader is the program within the DSEM870 responsible for loading
the Operating System.
CAN Control Area Network. A high-speed data transmission system used
extensively within the Automotive and Off-Highway industries.
CODESYS Integrated Development Environment for programming controller
(Previously stylised applications according to the international industrial standard IEC 61131-3.
as CoDeSys) DSEM870 supports CODESYS V3.5
ECU Electronic Control Unit. For example the DSEM870 device.
Firmware The Firmware of the DSEM870 is the Operating System of the DSEM870
that reads and executes the Application program.
FSD Full Scale Deflection. For example 0 mA to 20 mA is the Full Scale
Deflection of a current sink input.
Input / Output. For example “The I/O is taken out to an external terminal
I/O
strip in the user panel”.
Integrated Development Environment. For example the CODESYS V3.5
IDE
application that runs on the host PC is an IDE.
An Input, where x is the connector and yyy is the input number. For
Ixyyy
example IC003 means Input 3 on Connector C.
PLC Programmable Logic Controller. Industrial computer used primarily for the
automation of electromechanical machinery.
PWM A digital signal is used to represent an analogue value by using Pulse
PWMi Width Modulation. The mark-space ratio of a square wave changes to
represent the value.
Used for many control applications including proportional valves.
PWM= Voltage control.
PWMi = Current control.
Off-Highway An industrial vehicle used primarily “off road”. For example construction
and farm machinery. A wider interpretation includes on road access
platforms, emergency vehicles and other industrial machinery, used either
on the road, or off road.
Pin A male or female pin connection in a housing (plug or socket).
Qxyyy An Output, where x is the connector and yyy is the output number. For
example QC002 means Output 2 on Connector C.

2.2 RELATED INFORMATION

This document refers to and is referred by the following DSE publications which are obtained from the
DSE website: www.deepseaelectronics.com or by contacting DSE technical support: support@

 Introduction

2.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2.3.1 GENERAL

• These instructions are for authorised persons according to the EMC and low-voltage directives.
The device must be installed, connected and put into operation by a qualified electrician.

• It is not permissible to open the controller or to modify or repair the controller. Modification or
repairs to the wiring could result in dangerous malfunctions. Repairs to the controller must be
performed by DSE. Contact your original equipment supplier in the case of malfunction.

• When the device is unpowered, ensure that no connection pins are connected to a voltage
source. Thus, when the supply is switched off, the supply for the electronics, the power outputs
and the external sensor supply must be switched off together.

• The controller heatsink at the rear heats up beyond normal ambient temperature during
operation. To avoid danger caused by high temperatures, protect against contact.

• Do not insert or remove the connector when powered. Remove all sources of supply before
insertion or removal.

• The customer is responsible for performing risk analysis of the mobile working machine and
determining the possible safety related functions. The user is responsible for the safe function of
the application programs created. If necessary, they must additionally carry out an approval test
by corresponding supervisory and test organisations according to the national regulations.

• All connectors must be unplugged from the electronics during electrical welding and painting
operations.

2.3.2 INSTALLATION NOTES

• Follow the instructions of the connector manufacturer, specifically with respect to preventing
water from entering the device. See Section entitled Cables, Connectors, Harnesses and Spare
Parts for details of DSE Part Numbers.

• To maintain IP67 rating where connectors have unused pins, ensure the use of a suitable
Blanking Insert. In the case of a completely unused connector, the plug must be inserted, fully
populated with Pin Blanking Inserts. See Section entitled Cables, Connectors, Harnesses and
Spare Parts for details.

• M12 protection plugs (supplied) must be installed in both the USB and Ethernet interfaces to
ensure IP67 rating when the connectors are not in use. Tighten to 0.8 Nm (0.6 lbf ft). Where IP
protection is required when the interfaces are in use, suitable O-rings must be fitted. Silicon
grease to protect the O-rings is recommended.

• The heatsink must be wired to vehicle ground to comply with EMC guidelines. A screw
connection point is provided for this purpose. A metallic screw must be used to create an
electrical connection to vehicle / machine ground.

• Do not insert or remove the connector when powered. Remove all sources of supply before
insertion or removal.

4.5 USER CONNECTIONS

NOTE: Connector C is not fitted to DSEM871.

NOTE: If a prewired connection cable is used, remove the cores with unused signal inputs
and outputs. Unused cores, in particular core loops, lead to interference coupling that can
influence the connected controller.

NOTE: Connectors A and C are coded differently. Do not try to force a connector into the
wrong socket.

NOTE: USB and Ethernet connectors are coded differently. Do not try to force a connector
into the wrong socket.

DSE.

The Firmware Update is performed as follows:

• Remove DC Supply from the DSEM870.

• Press and hold any three buttons. Reapply DC power until the DSEM870 indicates that it is
Entering Flash / Recovery. Now release the buttons.
• When prompted, connect the USB memory stick containing the firmware update file(s). You
must do this within 60 seconds. Failure to do so results in the DSEM870 restarting into normal
operation mode.
• Update occurs automatically when the memory stick is inserted.
• During the process, Detecting Components may be shown on the display for a few minutes.
Be patient while this completes.
• During the process the display may ‘blank’ a number of times. Again, be patient while the
process completes.
• During the process it may appear to ‘pause’, including the display of Firmware Done or
Recovery Done. At these points, the process is not complete. Again, be patient while the
process completes.
• The process is complete when the following message is displayed:

DSE M870 Update

Done…

\ Press any key to reboot…

Press any key when prompted to restart the device and apply the new firmware.
• Wait for the DSEControl® logo to appear.
• Wait for the System LED to illuminate, Green, Flashing.
• It is now safe to power off the device.
