1.1 Introduction
The NZM-XATS-CSOFT software enables you to control and parameterize
one or several ATS-C net Automatic Transfer Switch-Controllers if these are
connected to a PC via an RS232 interface or a serial RS485 bus (only ATS-
C144).
The software can be used for commissioning the control device,
troubleshooting and continuous monitoring.
A detailed description of the parameters and the possible setting operations
of the net Automatic Transfer Switch-Controllers is provided in the relevant
manual provided as a PDF file on the installation CD.
NZM-XATS-C96: MN01219004Z
NZM-XATS-C144: MN01219005Z
The software provides the following functions:
Graphical display of all ATS-C measurements
Access to the Setup menus
Access to the real-time clock (only ATS-C144)
Access to statistics data (only ATS-C144)
Saving, loading and printing of parameter settings
Display of a virtual front panel of an ATS-C with functional buttons
Switching between operating modes
Keypad lock function
Display of the Event log, showing the most recent 100 events with date
and time
In case you have connected more than one device, from the front
keyboard of each device, enter the Function setup and set one different
RS485 serial address for each ATS-C, starting from address 01. Make
sure that the Baud rate and parity settings match the RS485 setting.

1.10 Password
Some of the software functions are only available after a password has been
entered (via the Password menu item). These are:
Changing the software settings
Changing the password
Deleting records from data log databases
Modifying the ATS-C settings from the remote control
Operating the virtual front panel keys
Resetting MAX values, event log, switch operations counter etc.
Figure 8: Password
The default password after the initial installation is EATON. After the default
password is entered, you can change it using the New password button.

j Loads the parameter values from ATS-C and shows them in the dialog box. Only active in online mode.
k Transfers the displayed values to ATS-C and saves them. Only active after password entry and in
online mode.

1.18.4 Inputs/outputs
This window shows the programmable functions of the ATS-C input and
output terminals, and their current status. Please note that for the output
relays, the status shown is the status of the relay coil (energized/not
energized) that is sometimes different to the logic function of the relay
(example: global alarm relay energized = Status ok).
Figure 15:Inputs/outputs
2. ATS-C144 configuration
Also the ATS-C144 needs configuration to be able to converse with the
modem.
Connect the ATS-C144 via a 51C2 cable (supplied with NZM-XATC-
CSOFT) to the RS232 serial interface of the PC.
Define a password.
From the Online mode, choose Modem parameters from the
Parameters menu (see description on previous pages).
Activate the Enable modem option (Enable modem, first check box
at top left).
If you wish the ATS-C144 to dial the PC automatically, activate the
Enable calls from NZM-XATS-C and the Connect to PC check
boxes, enter the telephone number in the phone nr. field and define
in the CALL CONDITIONS area the events that trigger a dialup
( Section 1.17 Modem settings (only ATS-C144), page 18).
Transfer and save your entries with the Transmit button.
From the ATS-C144 front panel, enter Setup menu P7 and set the
parameter P7.03 RS232 protocol to Modbus ASCII + modem.
3. System connection
Connect the modem programmed at point 1 with the ATS-C144
using the cable code 51C5.
Connect the second modem to the PC with the standard cable
provided with the modem. The PC-side modem does not require
any particular programming (it must be left at default settings).
Connect both modems to the phone network. For the initial test, the
use of an internal line is recommended for checking purposes.
4. Configuration of the ATS-C144 remote control program
Start the NZM-XATS-CSOFT remote control program from the PC
with the modem already connected and powered.
In the Configuration menu select the Options menu item.
Set the Connection via modem box from the General tab.
If the Modem index table is empty, enter a name for the installation
(ATS-C144 or ATS-C144 network) and the corresponding phone
number of the modem connected to the ATS-C144.
Save your entry and then close the dialog with OK.
5. Online connection
In the Communication menu select the modem via the Modem
menu item.
In the list box select the installation to be called. The corresponding
phone number (previously entered in the Modem index table) is
displayed.
Click Dial
The PC modem then dials up the ATS-C144 modem. After a few
rings, the ATS-C144 modem and the program automatically switch
to online mode.
To end the call, choose Hang up in the Communication menu.
2.1.1 Troubleshooting
If during the attempted call the modem connected to the ATS-C144 does not
ring, this means that the call fails to reach its destination. In this case, carry
out the following checks:
Try dialing the telephone number of the modem using a normal
telephone. The modem called should give off sounds that ought to be
heard in the handset. If this does not happen, there are problems on the
telephone line or on the switchboard.
Ensure that the modem is switched on and is connected correctly to the
serial port defined under Communication Serial port selection.
If the "Modem connection OK" message appears on the PC but the program
switches to offline mode:
Try connecting directly from the PC to the ATS-C144 with 51C2 cable
and carry out all the checks described in section RS232 direct
connection or via USB interface
Ensure that the modem is properly set as described in Step 1 above.
2.2.1 Troubleshooting
If during the attempted call the GSM modem connected to the ATS-C144
does not ring, this means that the call fails to reach its destination. In this
case, carry out the following checks:
Check whether the signal at the location of the GSM modem is strong
enough (> 40 %). To do this use the PM.EXE program.
Ensure that the modem is switched on and is connected correctly to the
serial port defined under Configuration Options Serial port settings.
If the modem rings repeatedly but a connection is not established (the
"Modem connection OK" message does not appear on the screen):
Check the ATS-C144 configuration (see previous point 2).
Check the ATS-C144-modem cable 51C7.
If the telephone connection is provided via an exchange, try to use a
direct connection. Some connections change the call so that it is not
recognizable for the GSM.
If the "Modem connection OK" message appears on the PC but the program
switches to offline mode:
Check the quality of the GSM signal.
Try connecting directly from the PC to the ATS-C144 with cable 51C2
and carry out all the checks described in section RS232 direct
connection or via USB interface.
Ensure that the GSM modem is properly set as described in Step 1
above.
