General system description

The basic fault annunciator (BSM) for panel mounting is available in 4 variants with 8, 16, 32 or 48 reporting inputs. The
sealed front panel features 4 buttons and LED displays. The fault annunciator is congured in groups of 8 messages per
each. In the basic variant the essential functions can be set via DIP switch. Customer-specic fault reporting procedures
can be pre-set in the factory. With the software parameterisation variant many adjustments e.g. for alarm sequences,
collective report assignments and horn triggering etc. can be done per PC-program.

Configuration of the BSM fault annunciator

Depending on size, the fault annunciator includes the following functional components:

Name Equipment Dimensions H x W x D [mm]

BSM 08 8 reporting inputs 96 x 96 x 100
4 buttons
2 function inputs
4 relay outputs

BSM 16 16 reporting inputs 96 x 96 x 100

4 buttons
2 function inputs
4 relay outputs

BSM 32 32 reporting inputs 96 x 192 x 100

4 buttons
2 function inputs
4 relay outputs

BSM 48 48 reporting inputs 96 x 287 x 100

4 buttons
2 function inputs
4 relay outputs

For provision of PCS contacts, the devices can optionally be equipped with an interface for connecting
relay modules.

Reporting inputs The fault annunciator features reporting inputs that can be congured for different voltages and
can be pre-processed. All 8 inputs of a reporting group can be congured together via DIP
switches for normally open or normally closed contacts by the standard variant.
Reporting groups 8 reporting inputs are consolidated to form a reporting group featuring
8 LED displays and a common label pocket.

LED colours red, green, yellow, white or blue

(mixed conguration available on request)
Buttons The function of the four buttons that are integrated in the front panel
depends on the implemented reporting procedure
(e.g. message acknowledgement, reset, lamp test etc.)
Function inputs The two function inputs of the fault annunciator are used according to the
selected reporting procedure, e.g. external acknowledgement.
Relay outputs 4 change-over contacts
1 x live contact / malfunction
3 x message-specic function
(e.g. collective report 1, collective report 2, horn etc.)
Collective report The function of the collective report depends on the reporting
procedure and is specied in the type data sheet.
DIP switches The following settings can be selected by DIP switches in the basic variant
Function of collective report (standard / inverted)
Horn control (subsequent alarm signal will trigger horn again / not again)
Reporting procedure 1 or 2
NO or NC principle in common for all 8 inputs of a reporting group
Expansion A maximum of 6 external expansion modules installed on a DIN rail can be connected to
modules the optional interface CAN bus. Modules with 16 transistor outputs as well as 16 relay
outputs are available. These modules enable incoming messages to be relayed in parallel
with inputs or outputs (PCS contacts). More detailed information may be found in the data
sheet MSM-EM-DB-UK..
Self-monitoring The fault annunciator features integrated self-monitoring signalling fault-free function via
LED and relay contact. Possibly connected expansion modules are also monitored.
Software- The fault annunciators can optionally be ordered in a version parameterisable with
parameterising a PC program based on Windows. Transferring the parameters to PC is done via
connection between RS-232 COM-port and service- and parameterisation interface
of the BSM.
Following parameters can be adjusted:
Reporting sequence with single- or double frequency ashing light
First-up value or new value sequence
Horn priority acknowledgement
Collective report static or dynamic
Buttons and function inputs can be assigned on available relay outputs
(e.g. acknowledgement or lamp test)
Inputs congurable for NO- or NC contacts per each
Response delay adjustable per input between 5 ms und 60 s
Free assignment of inputs to reporting sequences and collective reports
Automatic horn acknowledgement (adjustable horn duration time 1 ... 250 s)

Message processing
The function specication of a fault annunciator includes message processing, which is structured in
three groups:

Alarm sequence
Formation of collective reports
Horn control

Reporting sequences

One of the two alarm sequences deposit in the BSM can be selected by DIP switch.
new-value message with single ashing light
rst-value message with single ashing light

On request also other common reporting sequences can be deposited. Which sequence is available in this special fault
annunciator is dependend on the respective variant and can be taken from the device conguration document
( Docuset MSM-BSM-GK ).

With the software parameterisable variant the desired reporting sequences can be build up from the following
components.

rst-value or new-value sequence

1- or 2-frequency ashlight, steady-steadylight or operation fault indication

Furthermore information about the integrated alarm sequences can be found in the separate documentation
Alarm sequences of the EES-fault annunciators Document set SM-MA-ZI-DE

Collective report
The different fault reporting procedures use different options for forming collective reports. In principle, the following
variants may be used:

Description Procedure
static / parallel to input The collective report is set with the rst incoming message and resets with
the last receding message.
static / parallel to input / The collective report is set with the first incoming message and resets with
acknowledgeable the last receding message or when acknowledged.
static / parallel to output / The collective report is set with the first incoming message and reset
acknowledgeable independently from the state of the messages by the acknowledgement.
static / parallel to output The collective report is set with the rst incoming message. Once all
messages have been gone and acknowledged the collective report is
cancelled.
static / dynamic /parallel to input The collective report is set with the rst incoming message. For each further
message, the collective report is cancelled for approx. 0.8 s and then set
again. Once all messages have been receded, the collective report is
cancelled permanently.
static / dynamic / parallel to output The collective report is set with the rst incoming message. For each further
message, the collective report is cancelled for approx. 0.8 s and then set
again. Once all messages have been receded and acknowledged, the
collective report is deleted permanently.
dynamic The collective report is activated for approx. 0.8 s with each incoming
message.

Horn triggering

Function Name Meaning

Horn triggering retriggerable The horn is retriggered by new incoming
(can be set via DIP switch) messages, even if messages are already present.
not retriggerable The horn is retriggered for new incoming
messages only if no messages are already
present.
Horn acknowledgement manual (continuous tone) The horn is acknowledged manually via a button or
function input.
automatic (pulse tone) The horn is acknowledged automatically
according to the set time.
manual with acknowledgement The horn is acknowledged together with the
lamp acknowledgement via the acknowledgement
button. There is no special horn acknowledgement.
Horn locking none The horn can always be acknowledged.
message acknowledgement The horn can only be acknowledged once the
message has been acknowledged.

Labelling

The labelling of the BSM is done by designa-

tion strips, which are inserted under the pro-
tective sheet after releasing the front frame.

Designation templates are available in Word

and pdf format. With the software parameteri-
sing variant the strips can be created directly
from the parameterisation program.

Order identification

The main characteristics of the device are encoded in the order indentication number as follows.

Syntax: BSM XX-BM-SFX-AA

BSM XX Device type (e.g. BSM 08 or BSM 16)

B Supply voltage (the meaning of the keys can be found in the technical data section)
M Signal voltage
S Interfaces:
X no interfaces
C CAN bus for relay modules
P CAN bus and service / parameterising interface
F LED colour (applies to the whole module)
R red
G green

Standard variants

The BSM is deliverable in many variants. In the standard variant the fault annunciator works stand-alone without a
CAN-Bus interface. Expansion modules can not be connected to these fault annunciators. Parameterization is done
by DIP-switches. Due to space limitations only some standard designs are represented in the following. All available
congurations are listed in the separate document Equipment congurations of the BSM. Please contact us if you
need a fault annunciator with divergent characteristics or use our BSM-congurator on our website
www.alarmindicator.com. We would be pleased to advise you.
