Programmable Sequence Selection. Option of selecting from 9 different Alarm Sequences.
Fully configurable system using PC based S/W utility.
Annunciation window grouping option provided for configuration as per user requirement.
LOCAL operator interface using Push buttons.
REMOTE operator interface capability enables SCADA operation.
Communication options using MODBUS-RTU/ MODBUS-TCP protocols. (PROFIBUS slave option
offered.)
Synchronization facility for multiple AS systems in the same control room.
Designed to suit convenience of Control Panel mounting and maintenance.

Product Overview
The CAN-AS series of Alarm Annunciation Systems are offered with several advanced features, which were available
with only with high end control systems until now. The enhanced integrated design using latest 32 bit Micro-controller
technology brings the advantage of complex programmability, lower power consumption & improved reliability to the
users at reasonable costs.
The user of CAN-AS system has the option of selecting any one out of nine standard Alarm Sequences (Ref.
ISA Publication*) using Programmable Sequence configuration. Special option of Multiple sequence selection
and window grouping is also provided (factory set) on request.
MODBUS-RTU/ MODBUS-TCP-IP communication protocol selection is available for REMOTE monitoring and
control operations.

CAN-AS-PFB variants are available with PROFIBUS slave operation capability by adding an external Canopus
make PROFIBUS slave interface module.
The CAN-AS30 is offered with 30 nos. of annunciation windows. The design takes care of the control panel
mounting problems faced due to restrictions on the depth and weight of the display units fitted on the
panel door. The CAN-AS30 incorporates a panel front mounted lightweight Annunciation Display Module
having depth of only 70mm. This is connected with a base mounted Control Module using a multi-core
cable. The Control Module is fitted inside the panel and input signals and Power Supply connections can be
easily wired to it. This avoids the inconvenience of running all wiring on the panel door and reduces
maintenance problems.
The CAN-AS systems are also offered in 8, 12, 16, & 24 window configurations.
ISA Publications Annunciate Sequences & Specifications S18.1 1979 (Revised 1985)

INPUTS:
All inputs to the system are 24VDC operated potential free contacts. Inputs are provided with optical
isolation. This enables the system to operate without disturbance of external electrical noise.
Each input can be individually programmed to be recognized as ACTIVE in High (NO) or LOW (NC) state.

SYSTEM SET UP & CONFIGURATION:

The system can be configured with the help of RS232 communication port provided on the front side of the
Control Module.
Canopus Instruments provides a PC based software tool for configuration of the system. This allows the user
to set following parameters.
Individual Input alarm active state (High/Low)
Command Pushbutton Input active state (High/Low)
Set valid Input reorganization delay (No of scan cycles.)
Select Communication Protocol MODBUS-RTU/ MODBUS-TCP.
Set System Address for Communication.
Set Communication parameters.
Select operating Sequence.
Select Input Groups (Applicable for specific sequences only.)
Select Alarm Window indication flash rate.

Monitoring & Control:

Local Operation
A. PUSHBUTTON INPUTS:
Standard requirement of alarm annunciation system is three push buttons.
Lamp Test
Acknowledge
Reset
Additional three push buttons are provided in CAN-AS system.
Silence
Sequence Test
First Up Reset
These pushbuttons are provided to fulfill the requirement of all the operating
sequences offered in the system.
B. ALARM DISPLAY:
Red LED windows provided to display Alarm state of all input channels. Depending on the
status of Alarm the indication is,
Fast Flashing (FF)
Slow Flashing (SF)
Steady (ON)
OFF
C. RELAY OUTPUTS:

4 nos. of Potential free relay contacts (NO+NC) are provided for connecting system fault
output signals to external control systems. These can also be used for driving external
230VAC operated Hooters or LAMP indications.

Remote Operation:
Remote monitoring and control operation is possible using a suitable SCADA package such as
ELLIPSE, LABVIEW, etc.
The communication set up is established using options provided such as MODBUS-RTU,
MODBUS-TCP, and PROFIBUS. (Refer to data format and set up details in the manual.)
