1 Introduction

1.1 Description

This document describes the steps required to install and configure the Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/
8535-BC Endo software system (currently Release 7). In principle, the installation base also applies to
the BRS (Belimed Remote Service system) to be setup in conjunction with the ICS or as an autonomous
installation.

The Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo enables the customer for documentation of the
sterilization and cleaning processes and allows traceability of materials to be sterilized at packing unit
level or, depending on the system configuration, of material to be washed level (Configuration: Belimed
ICS 8535-BC).

1.2 Definitions

Term / abbreviation Explanation

ICS Acronym for the Infection Control System.
This is the Belimed documentation system.

Cycle / Batch Sometimes cycle and batch are used interchangeably but this is not
accurate. Batch refers to the quantity washed or sterilized in the
machine process, whereas cycle refers more to the machine process
loop itself (start to finish then back to start) which is documented by the
ICS.
I.e. A nurse puts a batch of instruments into a machine for one cycle.

Data Logger PC A computer used to capture the process data and batch/cycle data of
the sterilizers and automatic cleaning machines in the SQLBase
database and to prepare for the batch documentation.

Belimed ICS 8535 Central Documentation System for the documentation of the
sterilization and cleaning processes.

Belimed ICS 8535-BC Central Documentation System for the documentation of the
sterilization and cleaning processes. The material to be cleaned and the
packed, labelled material (instrument screens, containers, screens and
baskets etc.) is loaded and linked to the process via the hand-held
Barcode reader connected to the sterilizers and cleaning machines.

Belimed ICS 8535-BC Endo Central Documentation System for the documentation of the
sterilization and cleaning processes, especially for endoscopy
machines. The material to be cleaned and the packed, labelled material
(instrument screens, containers, screens and baskets etc.) is loaded
and linked to the process via the hand-held BarCode reader connected
to the endoscopy machine.

BRS Acronym for the Belimed Remote Service.

This is a remote diagnostics solution for technical support in order to
access and analyze process and batch/cycle data from the sterilizers
and cleaning machines, including alerts and warning messages. For
USA only.

ICS R7 Installation & Configuration Guide EN – Page 6 of 128 Revision: 2.7 / January 2015
ICS BRS Installation Guide_EN_V27.doc © Belimed 2012..2015 Belimed AG
Term / abbreviation Explanation
ITS Instrument Tracking System – a third party software system that tracks
surgical instrument location and can interface with Belimed ICS
software. ITS software also describes tracking systems that can only
track surgical trays as well.

IMS Instrument Management System – Similar in function to an ITS but

offers additional functionality.

Implementation Implementation is the full process to installing the ICS / BRS software
which includes: Project Management, Hardware Installation, Software
Installation, Software Configuration, Validation, and Customer Training/
Inservicing.

Program parameters Program parameters (cycle parameters) are the parameters of a certain
program on a sterilizing or cleaning machine. They become effective at
program start and define how to control the running cycle.

Batch parameters In ICS terms, batch parameters are global parameters of a process
which has been launched on a sterilizing or cleaning machine. Batch
parameters have been defined on the machine and are transmitted to
the ICS Data Logger, like cycle header data.

RDT / RDG German acronym for Cleaning - Disinfection – Drying / Cleaning and
Disinfection Device.

ZSVA German acronym for the Central Sterile Supply Department.

CSSD Central Sterile Supply Department.

Machine A machine which is connected to the ICS may be a cleaning machine, a

disinfection machine or a sterilizer.

MST Acronym for Medical Sterilizers.

WD Acronym for Washer/Disinfectors.

CS Acronym for the Cleaning Station machines, also known as a Cart

Washer in some markets.

Figure 2: Typical system layout of ICS 8535

The ICS / BRS is a data logging system for capturing and documenting process data of Belimed
machines (washers / disinfectors / sterilizers). The entire ICS / BRS system has been designed to
operate as a closed system within the customer's infrastructure.

There is one ICS Data Logger PC (data acquisition PC which captures process data) and, on demand,
several ICS workstations (which document the stored cycle data).

ICS R7 Installation & Configuration Guide EN – Page 9 of 128 Revision: 2.7 / January 2015
ICS BRS Installation Guide_EN_V27.doc © Belimed 2012..2015 Belimed AG
3 Installation of Hardware & Software
The Windows operating system (typically Windows XP Professional or Windows 7) must have been pre-
installed on the ICS / BRS Data Logger PC (data acquisition PC) and, on demand, on ICS workstations.

Currently supported operating systems for ICS / BRS software release 7 are:
 Windows XP Professional / SP3, 32 bit
 Windows Vista Professional, 32 & 64 bit
 Windows 7 Professional, 32 & 64 bit
 Windows Server 2003 / SP1 or higher, 32 bit
 Windows Server 2008 R2, 32 & 64 bit

The Data Logger PC communicates with the connected machines thru Ethernet link, a multi-serial
interface card (with two RS-485 interfaces) and/or COM port server devices (RS-485 to Ethernet
conversion).

All hardware components such as the network card (generally on-board) and/or the RS-485 interface
card should be fitted before installing the actual Belimed ICS 8535 / 8535-BC / 8535-BC Endo or
Belimed Remote Service (BRS) applications.

Notes:
The Windows operating system is part of the computer system (industrial PC, server or workstation) on
which the ICS / BRS application environment operates, validated by the supplier (Belimed).

In principle, even the ICS / BRS data logging software runs under one of the standard operating
systems, listed above. There is no need of a realtime operating system or kernel.

The installed operating system is not due to be maintained by the supplier. The customer is responsible
for regularly applying operating system updates (Service Packs, security patches and hotfixes) and add-
on software (firewall software, antivirus software, remote control software,…).
On the other hand, any third-party software (e.g. not listed on Belimed's Computer System's
Configuration Sheet) or background processes not necessary to ensure the defined functionalities of the
Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo, may have a significant impact on the overall performance
of the Data Logger PC. This software may only be installed after consulting Belimed.

Although the ICS / BRS software modules run on standard PCs, it is advised to use reliable hardware.

Moreover, to reduce the risk of transient disconnects while capturing the machines' process data,

- a high-performance hardware platform (CPU, RAM, disk access) for the Data Logger PC should be
used resp. should be provided by the customer
- virtualization technologies should be avoided, if possible
- ensure that the communication link between the Data Logger PC and the connected machines is
reliable and fast
- use a dedicated (physical or virtualized) network adapter to link all Belimed ICS / BRS stations and
devices in an isolated network segment, thus reducing the relevant data traffic on the monitored
communication path
- avoid interfacing with connected machines in remote subnets
- connect a maximum of 3 machines on a serial RS-485 line (at a physical or virtual COM port)
- the date & time of the Data Logger PC may not be modified while capturing the data of running
machine cycles (timestamp is assigned by the Data Logger PC, not by the machines itselves)

3.1 RS-485 Connection between Data Logger PC and Machines

A separate multi-serial interface card with two RS-485 interfaces may be used to communicate between
the Data Logger PC and the connected machines (see also board manufacturer's instructions).

Note:
The RS-485 multi-serial interface card does not run on an ICS / BRS Data Logger which is installed on
virtualized machines.

3.1.4 RS-485 connection example

The serial bus line of the RS-485 interface should be terminated at both ends in order to avoid reflections
on the line. One end of the serial bus is the MOXA interface card in the Data Logger PC. Jumper JP 1
(for interface P1) and jumper JP 2 (for interface P2) for the terminating resistor must be set to closed on
the MOXA card (see chapters above).

To dampen out reflection on the other end of the connection a 150 Ohm resistor must be connected to
the last RS-485 bus user (PLC/micro controller control).

Note:
On the SAIA PLC PCD2 Module with Serial Function Module card attached, the RS-485 bus line may
not be terminated a second time on the F520 for the SAIA PLC of the sterilizer MST. As a result, the
jumper must always be set to "open" on the Serial Function Module card. Termination of the RS-485
Bus applies both to cleaning machines and to sterilizers.

Figure 5: Open Jumpers on SAIA PCD2.F520 card

The figure below shows a RS-485 wiring example to connect MST-TOP5000 sterilizers to a MOXA
interface card (type CP-132 or CP-132UL) of a Data Logger PC.

3.2 Ethernet COM Server Devices

An Ethernet COM Server allows the user to convert a serial RS-485 signal to TCP/IP signal capable of
travelling over an Ethernet network to a PC/Workstation/Virtual Server (ICS 8535 Data Logger PC).
There are two parts required for an Ethernet COM Server:

1) Hardware: Physical Ethernet COM Server box, and

2) Virtual COM Port Software

Once connected to the PC, the Virtual COM Port software converts the TCP/IP signal back to a serial
RS-485 signal allowing the ICS 8535 Data Logger software to receive the signal without issue. In this
case, the Data Logger software uses virtual COM ports for interfacing with the machines.

There are several different COM Server devices on the market. The supported and validated by Belimed
AG are the:
1) W&T COM Server with the W&T VCOM Software (various types see following chapter and
www.wut.de, installation and configuration hints are described in a separate guidance by
Belimed).
2) MOXA NPort Server (various types see following chapter and www.moxa.com, installation and
configuration hints are described in a separate guidance by Belimed).
3) On demand, check usability of Chiyu BF-430 with either the VCOM Software or Eltima VCOM
software.

3.3 Installation wizard of Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo and BRS

Notes on using Windows7 / Windows Server 2008:

 Windows7 / Windows Server 2008 feature a so-called "VirtualStore" which is automatically used
when applications are misconfigured or access to data files failed. In this case, the applications use 2
different data paths, the configured one and a shadow copy in the "VirtualStore".
 It is advised to disable the VirtualStore feature in Windows7:
Navigate to:
Administrative Tools  Local Security Policy  Security Settings  Local Policies  Security
Options
Deactivate the setting:
User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations
 Please follow the notes at the end of chapters 3.3.3.4.2 Default folder structure under Windows 7
/ Windows Server 2008 (32 bit) / … and 3.3.3.4.3 Default folder structure under Windows 7 /
Windows Server 2008 (x64) / ….

Notes prior launching setup:

 Apply proper folder settings (e.g. do not hide system folders & files, display hidden files) to have
access to all installed files, especially in the "All Users" profile folders (see 3.3.3.4 Data Structure
after installation).
 For the installation and configuration of the Belimed software system the logged-on Windows user
must have administrative rights.
 In a domain environment, it is advised to launch the ICS / BRS setup executable file with temporary
administrative rights ("Run as Administrator") instead of initiating the setup by autorun when inserting
the installation media, although the current Windows user is a member of Administrators.

When inserting the customer specific CD-ROM or USB memory stick (which contains the ICS / BRS
installation software, application files and database system) into the PC's drive, the Installation Wizard of
the ICS / BRS software package will be launched automatically (see above note).

Notes on setup options:

 The customized setup option must be selected for the installation of the Belimed system, except for
the U.S. market where the Belimed Remote Service (BRS) is intended to be installed.
Proceed to chapter 3.3.2 Customized installation.
 The customized setup option is also a good choice to select non-standard destination folders for
applications and data to avoid permission issues (and VirtualStore issues) which are present in
"modern" operating systems like Windows7 or higher.
Proceed to chapter 3.3.2 Customized installation.
 The complete setup option will use the standard destination folders for applications and data, and
thus complies with security policies (prevent "ordinary" users from accessing program files and public
application data).

Notes on installed ICS / BRS components:

 The basic software components like Gupta/Unify's SQLBase 11.5 Database engine and Team
Developer 5.2 runtime are installed in any case.
 The database backup application (DASI) is not part of the Installation wizard and has to be
configured manually.

 If, by default, the VirtualStore feature is activated in Windows7 / Windows Server 2008, this shadow
copy might be populated with another instance of files in case of misconfiguration (e.g. of the
SQLBase Database engine, the ICS Data Logger,…) or non-accessibility of the standard files. In this
case, the ICS applications might accidentally use 2 different data paths, the configured one and the
shadow copy in the "VirtualStore".
- The default configured database path is:
C:\ProgramData\Unify\SQLBase\DB8535
- The database path in the VirtualStore is:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\DB8535
 If the VirtualStore feature has been deactivated, you have to make sure that "ordinary" logged-on
Windows users (users who should operate with ICS / BRS) have write privileges onto all ICS / BRS
related application and data folders as well as its sub-folders in
C:\Program Files\Belimed
C:\Program Files\Unify
C:\ProgramData\Belimed
C:\ProgramData\Unify
Otherwise application specific configuration files or temporary files will fail to be written.
 Despite of the fact whether the VirtualStore feature has been activated or deactivated, the permission
policies in Windows Server 2008 or higher require that "ordinary" logged-on Windows users (users
who should operate with ICS / BRS) must have write privileges in any case onto all ICS / BRS related
application and data folders as well as its sub-folders in
C:\Program Files\Belimed
C:\Program Files\Unify
C:\ProgramData\Belimed
C:\ProgramData\Unify
Otherwise application specific configuration files, or temporary files will fail to be written.
Furthermore, the configured backup folders of the DASI (e.g.
C:\Belimed\ProgramData\Backup_DASI, see 3.3.3.4.4 Non-standard folder structure) must
have write privileges, too, in order to set / modify file attributes.

4 Configuration of Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo

4.1 General Information

The processing data of the cleaners and sterilizers from the medical and laboratory division can be
acquired, edited and documented with the Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo documentation
system. The system serves for logging of batch / cycle and process data of the Belimed machines.

Important features: The entire ICS software package consists of three application modules:

 Configuration module (configures the ICS base data, e.g. machine configuration)
 Documentation module (documents historical cycles)
 Data Logger module (captures the measured values / process data of the connected machines)

These modules as well as Gupta/Unify's SQLBase Database engine (which provides the database) can
be installed on separate computers.

Note:
The ICS software also features piracy protection against illegal installation and unauthorized copying. If
the software or an updated version is illegally copied onto another computer, it will run for 30 days. If it
has not been licensed by Belimed or the Belimed Sauter AG company prior expiration, the software
cannot be launched after a reboot of the computer and the user will be prompted for immediate licensing.

4.1.1 Terms and Designations

Buttons
A button is activated when operated via the keyboard's shortcut or clicked on with the left mouse button.
The general buttons are:

The changes of the current screen are accepted, saved to the database, the screen will
be closed and the main or basic screen will show up.
The screen is closed without saving any changes. The screen automatically reverts to
the previous menu or screen.
The changes are accepted and saved to the database. The current screen stays open.

A new row will be added in the displayed table which allows you to enter new data, e.g.
add a further machine.
If an entry (meaning a table row) should be deleted, simply click in any field of the table
row and press this button. The entire row will be marked with a cross which indicates
the "deleted" status. When saving the changes, all rows identified to be deleted, will be
removed.
The current screen contents will be printed out.

The ICS user's operating manual (stored as PDF), not this implementation guide, will be
displayed by launching the default PDF reader (e.g. Adobe Reader).

Editing mode
A screen or dialogue box in editing mode is identified by a red box in the upper right
corner which indicates that there are unsaved modifications.

4.2 Configuration Module of Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo

The ICS Configuration module is intended to configure the interface to the machines to enable the
proper representation and capturing of machines' process data in Belimed's ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-
BC Endo documentation system.

Note:
The SQLBase Database engine must be "running" at all times during ICS operation to provide the
database. This means that the registered Windows service Unify SQLBase srvICS must be running,
to enable an ICS application (Configuration or Documentation module, Data Logger) to access the
database.
The application window of the SQLBase Database engine is not visible by default because the database
engine is typically running in the background. Check the Services screen of Windows!

You can view the SQLBase Database engine task by launching it like an application. The title bar
indicates whether the task is running in service mode or not.

Figure 45: Console monitor of Gupta/Unify's SQLBase Database engine running as a Windows service

Description of the 4 sub-windows:

Process Activity Shows internal transaction data of the database engine.

System Activity Shows internal system data of the database engine.
Databases Shows the database(s) which are currently running (provided).
If the intended database (e.g. DB8535) is not listed in this sub-window, no
client (e.g. ICS Data Logger) is able to access this database.
Server Status Shows all clients (e.g. ICS Data Logger) and their current database
connections.

ICS BRS Installation Guide_EN_V27.doc © Belimed 2012..2015 Belimed AG
 Note:
More useful information in sub-window Process Activity is displayed only with Level > 0 !
Set the Display Level (under menu item Level) to 1.

Terminating the SQLBase Database engine in this mode will only close the SQLBase task window but
will not stop the Unify SQLBase srvICS service, thus the database engine will continue to run in the
background. Check the Services screen of Windows!

To completely terminate the SQLBase Database engine, mainly stop the Unify SQLBase srvICS
service. It is recommended to stop the Unify SQLBase Resource Manager srvICS service, too.

4.2.2 Configuration Sections

The configuration of the Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo features a hierarchical structure. It
has the System right at the top, beneath are the individual machine groups, e.g. the group of sterilizers
of Type "MST-V 09.01". Following this are the individual machines, each of them is a member of a
group. Specific settings for the machines (like sensors, color of measured values on the batch log / cycle
report, etc.) are then defined.

Certain settings are available that refer to the entire machine group or to the individual machine.

Note:
The screens which are shown in the following chapters are samples and may differ from the installed,
customized ICS.

4.2.2.1 Log on - Log off

The Configuration module features a simple user administration. By default, there are three pre-defined
users with password assignments (see 4.2.3.3 User Administration). The passwords can be changed
individually.

Typically apply this user account to operate the ICS Configuration module:

Name User ID Password Comment

Administrator 1 1 Main user, with this user all possible functions can be
performed.

4.2.2.3 Groups

The various types of machines are categorized into different machine groups. Each group is assigned to
a certain group type which features a certain set of properties. Currently the following group types exist:

 Sterilizers ["Steri"]
 Cleaning and disinfection machines ["Washer"]
 Endoscopy machines ["Washer (Endoscope)"]

A machine group relates to a set of texts which will be documented by the ICS (see 4.2.2.7 Texts), to the
reporting type (see 4.2.2.6 Reports), and to graph ranges (see 4.2.2.9 Graph ranges).

4.2.2.4.1 Driver Parameters

Note:
Prior entering or changing the driver parameters of a machine, the entire row must be marked in the
table.

The oncoming dialogue box depends on the driver type.

4.2.2.4.1.1 Machine driver: T8535

For the serial RS-485 communication, a serial COM interface port (physical or virtual, see 4.2.2.2
System) and a unique RS-485 bus address must be assigned to each machine. This bus address must
match the configured bus address on the respective machine.

Figure 55: Definition of the serial COM interface and the bus address

Machine:
COM-Interface no. COM port (physical or virtual) which is used for interfacing the machine's
control unit. Range [1…99]
Bus address Unique bus address of the machine's control unit. Range [3…255]
Note: It is good practice to start with bus address 4.

4.2.2.4.1.2 Machine driver: T8535DAQ

The machine driver T8535DAQ is intended for cleaning machines that have an independent measuring
data acquisition (mandatory for UK customers, optional elsewhere). For independent measuring data
acquisition a so-called DAQ module (Data Acquisition) or IPD module (Independent Process Data) is
used.

Figure 56: Driver parameters for the DAQ/ IPD module

The DAQ/ IPD modules are connected via serial RS-485 link to the ICS system.

Note:
The machine driver T8535DAQ requires that the machine itself has to be connected via serial RS-485
link to the Data Logger PC ("ICS Data Logger" and/or "BRS Data Logger"). A mixed communication link
(machine via Ethernet, DAQ/ IPD module via RS-485) is not valid.

Machine:
COM-Interface no. COM port (physical or virtual) which is used for interfacing the machine's
control unit. Range [1…99]
Note: If machines configured with the T8535DAQ driver are operating
along with machines configured with the T8535 driver, use separate COM
ports here to interface with both types of machines.
Bus address Unique bus address of the machine's control unit. Range [3…255]
Note: It is good practice to start with bus address 4.

DAQ:
COM-Interface no. COM port (physical or virtual) which is used for interfacing the DAQ/ IPD
modules. Range [1…99]
Note: Use the same COM port that has been assigned to the other
T8535DAQ drivers where a unique COM port is configured to interface the
machine.

 Type/Bus address Define the consecutive number of the attached DAQ/ IPD module, the type and
the unique bus address.
Note: It is good practice to start with bus address 24 for type IPD-7017
and with bus address 44 for type IPD-7080.

Valid example:

Machine 1:
Machine Comment
Interface (COM port): 3 Bus address: 4 Control unit
DAQ/ IPD module
Interface (COM port): 4 #1 Type: IPD-7017 Bus address: 24 Analogue module
#2 Type: IPD-7080 Bus address: 44 Counter module

Machine 2:
Machine Comment
Interface (COM port): 3 Bus address: 5 Control unit
DAQ/ IPD module
Interface (COM port): 4 #1 Type: IPD-7017 Bus address: 25 Analogue module
#2 Type: IPD-7080 Bus address: 45 Counter module
#3 Type: IPD-7080 Bus address: 46 Counter module

Erroneous example #1:

Machine 1:
Machine Comment
Interface (COM port): 3 Bus address: 4 Control unit
DAQ/ IPD module
Interface (COM port): 4 #1 Type: IPD-7017 Bus address: 24 Analogue module
#... Type: … Bus address: … …

Machine 2:

Interface (COM port): 3 Bus address: 5 Control unit
DAQ/ IPD module
Interface (COM port): 6 #1 Type: IPD-7017 Bus address: 25 Analogue module
#... Type: … Bus address: … …

In this example, the COM port of the DAQ/ IPD modules connected to the second machine does not
match the COM port of the first machine's DAQ/ IPD modules.

4.2.2.4.1.3 Machine driver: T8535TCPIP

This machine driver T8535TCPIP is used for direct TCP/IP (Ethernet) communication to the machines'
control units.

Figure 57: Driver parameters for a MST sterilizer via TCP/IP

For each machine, a unique IP address is defined in the ICS system which must match the configured IP
address on the respective machine.

Machine:
(IP-) Name/Address Unique IP address which is used for interfacing with an individual machine's
control unit.
Note: The settings for the subnet mask and optional gateway are
configured directly in the machine's control unit. Verify the connectivity by
using standard TCP/IP diagnostics commands (e.g. PING).
(IP-) Port TCP port to be used for communication.
Note: Always use port 2000.

ICS BRS Installation Guide_EN_V27.doc © Belimed 2012..2015 Belimed AG
4.2.2.4.1.4 Machine driver: T8515

This driver is used when interfacing sterilizer types MST-8515/ 8520 which run a PC-based database
application (with its own SQLBase database engine). The driver directly accesses the sterilizer's local
database, collects the cycle data and copies them into the central ICS database.

Figure 58: Driver parameters for interfacing MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizers

The parameter settings correspond to the configuration data of the MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizers and
usually depend on their system environment / application version.

Machine:
Machine name Station name of the sterilizer which is registered in the local database
and defined in the sterilizer's configuration file (not necessarily equal to
computer name).
SQL server name SQLBase's internal servername of the sterilizer PC.
DB name Name of the sterilizer's local database.
User name Valid user name to connect to the sterilizer's local database.
Password Valid password to connect to the sterilizer's local database.

Following are some sample settings:

Machine name STERI01 STERI02 STERI03 STERI17

SQL server name srvlokal srvlok2 srvlok3 srvlok17
DB name SYS8500K SYS850K2 DB85003 SYS85017
User name sysadm sysadm sysadm sysadm
Password sysadm sysadm sze6i5xp sysadm

Note:
If the ICS system interfaces several sterilizers of this type, the machine name, the SQL server name
and the database name must be uniquely set, see 7.4 Interfacing MST-8515 / 8520 sterilizers. Verify
the proper access to the sterilizers' databases by using Gupta/Unify's utility SQLTalk Interactive SQL,
see the Service Instructions manual for further details.

4.2.2.4.2 Machine Parameters

Note:
Prior entering or changing the parameters of a machine, the entire row must be marked in the table.

The oncoming dialogue box covers 2 functions:

 Batch/cycle data export OFFLINE as CSV files

 ITS/IMS Handshake Files
 PDF creation

Figure 62: Machine parameters with export, handshake and PDF function

4.2.2.4.2.1 Batch/cycle data export OFFLINE

The OFFLINE export function saves the batch log (cycle data) to CSV files into a defined folder after the
cycle has been detected by the ICS to have terminated.

Controls:
 Active Activates or deactivates the batch/cycle data export OFFLINE function.
Data folder Selects a folder/directory where the CSV files should be saved.
Note: In principle, the destination data folder may be a different storage
media or a remote network drive. It must be ensured that the background service
of the ICS has sufficient privileges to write onto this data folder. Poor customer
networks with sporadic breakdowns have a negative impact when exporting onto a
network drive and will result in unpredictable behaviour of the entire ICS, too.
Thus, it is advised to select a local harddisk folder to have the export files stored,
ready to be retrieved by the customer's system.
Delete after Enter the number of days and when the individual files should be saved.

The file pattern is <type>_<machine#>_<cycle#>.CSV, with:

<type> Type of generated CSV file.

<machine#> Linked machine number, as configured on the main <Machines> page.
<cycle#> Linked cycle number / counter.

<type> indicates the type of the generated CSV files:

 K Cycle header At least this CSV file is generated which contains the
cycle header data.
 C Cycle/ process data At least this CSV file is generated which contains all
cycle process data, as shown on the digital batch log /
cycle report.
 M Material data If applies, this CSV file contains the material items which
are typically scanned using a barcode scanner at the
machine (washer / disinfector / sterilizer) when loading
or which are forwarded to the ICS Data Logger.
Note: ICS 8535-BC must be configured.
 P Batch parameters If applies, this CSV file contains the batch parameters
transmitted from a machine.
 E Single channel results of If applies, this CSV file contains the results of the single
endoscopy machines channel control at endoscopy machines (e.g. WD 430).

4.2.2.4.2.2 ITS/IMS Handshake Files

If this option is configured (activation code has to apply), so-called handshake files from management
systems (Instrument Tracking System "ITS" or Instrument Management System "IMS") will be stored in
the defined folder prior to the process/cycle start.

A handshake file contains one or more reference numbers to identify materials. During the process start
at the machine, the ICS system checks if a handshake file (e.g. Mx.TXT, with x=machine number) exists.
If yes, it will be imported, the included reference numbers are linked to the batch/cycle and subsequently
the handshake files is deleted. If configured, the reference numbers will be exported into the M-file (see
previous chapter)

Controls:
 Active Activates or deactivates the control by the administration system.
Data folder Selects a folder/directory where the handshake files should be saved.

4.2.2.4.2.3 PDF creation

This feature enables the ICS to automatically store the batch logs (cycle data) as PDF file (portable data
format) and save the created file into a defined folder after the cycle has been detected by the ICS to
have terminated.

The contents of the generated PDF file is based on the selected report type (see 4.2.2.6 Reports). If a
combined report type has been selected, multiple PDF files will be generated, one per each basic report
type.

Controls:
 Active Activates or deactivates the PDF creation.
Data folder Selects a folder/directory where the PDF should be saved.
Note: In principle, the destination data folder may be a different storage
media or a remote network drive. It must be ensured that the background service
of the ICS has sufficient privileges to write onto this data folder. Poor customer
networks with sporadic breakdowns have a negative impact when creating the file
and will result in unpredictable behaviour of the entire ICS, too.
Thus, it is advised to select a local harddisk folder to have the files stored, ready to
be retrieved by the customer's system.

The file pattern is M<machine#>_<cycle#>_<type>.PDF, with:

M Prefix letter which indicates "Machine".

<machine#> Linked machine number, as configured on the main <Machines> page.
<cycle#> Linked cycle number / counter.
<type> Type of generated PDF file.

4.3 Database Backup Application DASI

The database backup application (called DASI) is typically used in conjunction with system Belimed
ICS 8535 / 8535-BC / 8535-BC Endo to periodically backup all machines' data (sterilizers and washing
machines) during normal operation. The application uses the working database to create backup and
archive databases which can serve as input for a customer owned backup procedure.

The DASI application runs on the PC where all databases are located. In a standalone environment this
typically is the Data Logger PC, in a server environment it will run on the database server hardware.

Figure 82: Operating screen of DASI application

Notes:
 As the DASI is typically running as a background Windows service, there is no application window
which appears in the foreground to verify the current backup operations, if an operating system like
Windows 7 or higher is used.
 For details concerning configuration of the DASI application, please refer to the separate installation
& configuration guide which is provided as part of the entire ICS software package.

4.4 Factory Settings

For proper operation of the Belimed ICS / BRS, specific parameters (so-called "factory settings") need to
be set. These parameters are stored in a separate table as part of the ICS database.

The default settings don't have to be modified in most cases. On demand, the parameters can be viewed
or modified via the "Factory Settings" utility (executable file is %werkseinstellungen52.exe, german
version only, located on the installation media or next to the ICS application path, if copied), see 3.3.3.4
Data Structure after installation and the Service Instructions manual for further details.

Figure 84: Factory Settings utility

The following table shows an excerpt of major factory settings. There are global settings and PC specific
settings.

4.5 Configuration Workarounds of Windows Services

4.5.1 Log-On Property

In most cases the default settings of the Windows services work fine.

Figure 85: Log-on properties of Belimed services

Windows services can be setup to “Log on As” a specific user account or, by default, with the Local
System account.

Figure 86: Select log-on properties of individual Belimed services

Under certain circumstances (e.g. background printing on a remote network printer) a service must
be configured to “Log on As” a specific user account which features local administrative privileges.

Note that this setting could result in communication issues with other portions of the software (e.g. SQL
Database), accessory software (e.g. Adobe Acrobat), or network card if the administrative settings are
not configured properly.

ICS R7 Installation & Configuration Guide EN – Page 92 of 128 Revision: 2.7 / January 2015
ICS BRS Installation Guide_EN_V27.doc © Belimed 2012..2015 Belimed AG
4.5.2 Service Timeouts

If one or more registered ICS / BRS related Windows services (e.g. ICS Data Logger) randomly do not
start (see the Services screen of Windows) and the Windows event log shows service timeout issues
(event id 7000, 7009 or 7011), then a key in the Windows Registry must be set accordingly to solve this
issue.

The Windows Service Control Manager will generate an event if a service does not respond within a
defined timeout period (the default timeout period is 30000 milliseconds).

Under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 & 2008, use the Windows Registry Editor to change
the default timeout value (note that this setting applies to all Windows services!):

Figure 87: Windows Registry setting "ServicesPipeTimeout"

- Navigate to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control 

- In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.
If this entry does not exist, create it (as DWORD value).
- Set the value to decimal 90000 (milliseconds).
- Reboot the PC.

ICS R7 Installation & Configuration Guide EN – Page 93 of 128 Revision: 2.7 / January 2015
ICS BRS Installation Guide_EN_V27.doc © Belimed 2012..2015 Belimed AG
 Additionally,
- under Windows 7
- under Windows Server 2003
- under Windows Server 2008
- under Windows Server 2012
- in VMs (virtual machine environment)
- along with Antivirus Software (e.g. Symantec Endpoint Protection)
it might be necessary not only to configure the registered service Belimed DASI (Database Backup
application) to be automatically started during the boot process but to be briefly delayed during the logon
process in order to increase overall logon performance of all services and to ensure proper startups of all
ICS / BRS related Windows services.

5 Machine Driver Control

5.1 Machine Driver Control / ICS Viewer

With the "Control / Viewer" module (executable file is MDrvCtrl.exe, located in ICS application folder),
data capturing of individual machines can be turned off and on without suspending and restarting the
entire ICS or BRS Data Loggers.

While the ICS or BRS Data Loggers are running as background services, the status of the individual
machines can be viewed.

5.2 ICS Machine Driver Tasks

While the ICS / BRS Data Loggers are running, the appropriate Machine Driver Tasks (T8535 and/or
T8535TCPIP) are running (typically as background tasks like the Data Loggers), too.

For diagnostics reasons, run the ICS / BRS Data Loggers in application mode in order to enable you to
view the driver specific tasks (see Windows task bar) and analyze the displayed information concerning
driver status, interface status and data traffic between the ICS Data Logger (resp. the machine driver)
and the machines.

6 Software Upgrade / Update of ICS / BRS
Upgrading or Updating the Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo system (and BRS) software
applies to:

 the Gupta/Unify's SQLBase database system

 the main ICS application (ICS Data Logger module, ICS Documentation module,…)
 the BRS application (BRS Data Logger module)
 the database backup application DASI, to be configured by default

Until now, there are 2 options to handle the data of the current work database:

 Start with clean database  provide a up-to-date database without textual errors
 new standard database already provides new
machine group data and its related text data

 all machine configuration settings have to be aligned

with the current (old) database
 new machine groups may not match the current (old)
groups (might confuse users) and settings
 to retrieve old cycle data, the old database has to be
manually upgraded/patched and provided as separate
archive database (accessible via database switch-
over menu in Documentation module)

 Upgrade the database as it is  all current configuration settings will be taken over by
upgrading/patching the current work database
 all stored cycle data are retained

 textual errors / translational bugs will be taken over

 e.g. new machine group with all related data must be
entered manually if required at a later time when
adding a new type of machine

Notes:
 This software update procedure must be applied on each individual ICS / BRS related PC, regardless
if the PC only features the ICS database or the entire application system. Certain steps may be
skipped if ICS applications have to be updated only.
 All operated ICS database(s) must be compliant with the currently installed ICS application release.
 The operated BRS database must be compliant with the currently installed BRS application version.
 If the DASI application was operating, several ICS databases (backup & archive databases) have to
be upgraded/patched, too.

6.1 Software Upgrade from Release 6 to Release 7 ("Release Upgrade")

Notes:
 There is no automatic update function. All components of the current ICS software release 6 (ICS
main application, database engine, runtime software, DASI) have to be manually uninstalled before
the new software release 7 is going to be installed.
 Upgrading from an ICS release older than 6 to the new software release 7 involves that certain
intermediate update steps have to be performed on the existing database to comply with application
release 7. These manual actions have to be considered individually and are not part of this guide.

Follow these steps to perform the upgrade procedure:

Step Description
01 If applicable, create an up-to-date archive database with the current data using the DASI
application.
02 Terminate all ICS software components in the correct sequence:
 DASI application (in application mode and/or in service mode), if applicable.
 ICS Documentation & Configuration modules, if applicable.
 ICS Data Logger (in application mode and/or in service mode).
 SQLBase database engine (in application mode and/or in service mode).
Make sure that no application is currently accessing the database!
03 For each SQLBase database (work database in ICS R6 named DB8500, backup
database SIC8500, archive databases AR*) check if LOG files exist along with the
database file(s).
Remove existing LOG files by applying the service SQL script on each database. When
finished, terminate the SQLBase database engine.
04 Save all individual SQLBase databases (work database, backup database, archive
databases) to a different folder using ordinary file copy/zip commands.
05 Copy/zip the contents of the DASI backup folder to a different folder too, if applicable.
06 If applicable, uninstall existing DASI application/service (refer to the separate installation
& configuration guide).
07 Uninstall Gupta/Unify's runtime component (most likely V3.0) by using the Windows
control panel.
08 Uninstall all components of Gupta/Unify's SQLBase database system (V8.5.0 or V7.6.1)
by using the Windows control panel.
09 Delete the folder of the database system (most likely D:\DB) and the application folder
(most likely D:\8500).
10 Insert the CD-ROM to run the Installation Wizard of the new software release 7.
Follow the instructions on the screen, as described in 3.3 Installation wizard of
Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo and BRS to perform a new installation of

6.2 Software Update within Release 7 ("Release Update")

Notes:
 The Installation Wizard of ICS software release 7 checks if there is already a release 7 installed in
the default folders on the harddisk. In this case, only an update will be performed without completely
uninstalling the existing software release first.
 If the Installation Wizard performs an update rather than a new installation, it will overwrite only
registered files (known files by its name, size and timestamp) in the default folders on the harddisk.
Any manually edited files (e.g. language files) on the installation media will not be copied.
 To make sure that a new software release 7 will be entirely and properly installed, uninstall the
existing software release and all of its components (ICS / BRS main application incl. database
engine, runtime software, DASI on demand) first by using the Windows control panel.

Follow these steps to perform the update procedure:

Step Description
01 If applicable, create an up-to-date archive database with the current data using the DASI
application.
02 Terminate all ICS / BRS software components/services in the correct sequence:
 Belimed WATCH Windows service, if applicable.
 DASI application (typically terminate the related Windows service), if applicable.
 ICS Documentation & Configuration modules, if applicable.
 ICS Data Logger (typically terminate the related Windows service).
 BRS Data Logger (typically terminate the related Windows service), if applicable.
 SQLBase database engine (typically terminate the related Windows services).
Make sure that no application is currently accessing the database!
03 Save all individual SQLBase databases (work database in ICS R7 named DB8535,
backup database SIC8535, archive databases AR*) to a different folder using ordinary
file copy/zip commands.
Completely backup each sub-folder to ensure that all existing LOG files are saved along
with the database file(s).
04 Copy/zip the contents of the DASI backup folder to a different folder too, if applicable.
05 Insert the CD-ROM to run the Installation Wizard of the new software release 7.
Follow the instructions on the screen, as described in 3.3 Installation wizard of
Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo and BRS to perform an update or a new
installation of the ICS / BRS software.
06 Terminate all ICS / BRS software components in the correct sequence (see 3.3.3.1 ICS /
BRS Applications as Windows Services):
 Belimed WATCH Windows service.
 Windows service of the BRS Data Logger, if applicable.
 Windows service of the ICS Data Logger.
 Windows services of the SQLBase database engine.
Make sure that no application is currently accessing the database!
07 Upgrade/convert/patch all individual databases (including backup and archive databases
created by the DASI application, if applicable) to match the just installed ICS / BRS

6.3 Upgrade/convert/patch a SQLBase Database

A patch utility (executable file is Patch_XXX.exe) is located in a sub-folder of the application folder (see
3.3.3.4 Data Structure after installation) to upgrade/convert/patch the databases.

This patch utility is designed to process two SQLBase databases

 an ICS database, for the Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC/ 8535-BC Endo system
 a BRS database, for the Belimed Remote Services

The patch utility may be launched right away to convert the work databases of the ICS ( DB8535.DBS)
and/or BRS ( DBBRS.DBS).

If the database backup application DASI is running on the computer, several ICS databases (backup and
archive databases) exist besides the work database. All databases must be converted, too, to enable the
ICS Documentation module to access those databases and to retrieve historical cycles.

Prior the patch utility may be launched, each single ICS database except of the work database must be
"installed" (=provided) in the SQLBase database system. This can be done

 offline  Modify SQL.INI configuration files of Gupta/Unify's database

(if the entire ICS / BRS engine and runtime component to additionally provide access

7.1.3 SQLBase specific Configuration files

The core database-related components of the ICS / BRS software system are Gupta/Unify's
SQLBase 11.5 Database engine and the Team Developer 5.2 runtime. Both components use their own
configuration file SQL.INI (see 3.3.3.4 Data Structure after installation for the defined locations).

Notes:
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the SQLBase system (database engine) defines which
databases to be provided and where they are located. The client section tells Gupta/Unify's utility
SQLTalk how to access the provided databases.
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the runtime component is not needed because this
component effectively provides no databases; it should be set properly with unique entries to avoid
conflicts. The client section tells the ICS / BRS applications (Data Logger, Configuration &
Documentation module, DASI) how to access the provided databases.

The table below lists all sections and keys of both SQL.INI configuration files which could have been
created by ICS's Installation Wizard on a sample Windows XP PC.
Important lines are indicated in blue typeface. Take special care on these lines!

Figure 95: Sample layout of a server system

You can use ICS's Installation Wizard to install the core database-related components of the ICS / BRS
software system (Gupta/Unify's SQLBase 11.5 Database engine and the Team Developer 5.2 runtime)
as well as the application files on each PC in a ICS / BRS server system like it might be as shown above.
But, in contrast to the single PC system, it is necessary to manually adjust the pre-configuration of each
workstation PC (see also 3.3.3 Post-installation information for the defined locations on the PCs).

In a sample server system like the one shown above, the PCs have the following tasks:

 Database server & Data Logger Provides the ICS / BRS databases, runs the DASI
(database backup application), runs the ICS / BRS
Data Logger modules which capture the machines'
process data and saves the data into the (local)
database.
Optionally runs the ICS Documentation module.
 Client Documentation PC Separate workstation that runs the ICS Documentation
module to present the stored cycle data on screen /
paper / file.

ICS BRS Installation Guide_EN_V27.doc © Belimed 2012..2015 Belimed AG
7.2.2 Specific Configuration on Database Server (= Data Logger PC)

From ICS / BRS point of view, there is no difference whether the Data Logger module is running on a
standalone PC (in single PC environment) or is running on a database server PC where one and more
workstation PCs access the common database as documentation clients, too. Therefore refer to chapter
3.3.3 Post-installation information for configuration details.

7.2.2.1 ICS / BRS Services

Along with the SQLBase 11.5 Database engine, the ICS Data Logger and, if configured, the BRS Data
Logger have to run as services on the database server, like in single PC environment.

Thus, keep the pre-configured services running (see the Services screen of Windows).

Name of service Status Start type Description

Belimed ICS 8535 Data Logger Started Automatic Service for the ICS Data Logger.
Belimed Remote Service Data Started Automatic Service for the BRS Data Logger.
Logger Valid only for the USA.
Belimed WATCH Started Automatic New service which monitors the installed
ICS / BRS software components.
Unify SQLBase Resource Started Automatic Service for internal SQL functions or
Manager srvICS administrative tasks.
Unify SQLBase srvICS Started Automatic Service for the SQLBase database engine.

7.2.2.2 ICS / BRS Applications

Keep the pre-installed application links of the ICS / BRS software applications/modules.

Make sure to configure:

 DASI (Database backup application), see 4.3 Database Backup Application DASI

7.2.2.3 SQLBase specific Configuration files

Notes:
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the SQLBase system (database engine) defines which
databases to be provided and where they are located. The client section tells Gupta/Unify's utility
SQLTalk how to access the provided databases.
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the runtime component is not needed because this
component effectively provides no databases; it should be set properly with unique entries to avoid
conflicts. The client section tells the ICS / BRS applications (Data Logger, Configuration &
Documentation module, DASI) how to access the provided databases.

In the SQL.INI files, lines with a leading ';' are treated as remarks and have no effect.

Thus, the ICS Documentation module is still available to be launched as an application.

Make sure that the DASI (database backup application) is neither configured nor running anyway on this
workstation because it runs on the database server PC where the databases are located.

7.2.3.3 SQLBase specific Configuration files

Notes:
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the SQLBase system (database engine) defines which
databases to be provided and where they are located; here this section may be used for test
purposes only. The client section tells Gupta/Unify's utility SQLTalk how to access the provided
databases.
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the runtime component is not needed because this
component effectively provides no databases; it should be set properly with unique entries to avoid
conflicts. The client section tells the ICS application (client Documentation module) how to access
the provided databases.

In the SQL.INI files, lines with a leading ';' are treated as remarks and have no effect.

Figure 96: Sample layout of a decentralized server system, not recommended

Note:
Although technologically possible, this layout is not recommended because the Data Logger module
has to forward the received process data over the network to the remote database server. In case of
poor networks and (more serious) network traffic breakdowns, connection issues will occur and reliable
data storage inside the ICS / BRS is not secured.

7.3.3.3 SQLBase specific Configuration files

Notes:
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the SQLBase system (database engine) defines which
databases to be provided and where they are located; here this section may be used for test
purposes only. The client section tells Gupta/Unify's utility SQLTalk how to access the provided
databases.
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the runtime component is not needed because this
component effectively provides no databases; it should be set properly with unique entries to avoid
conflicts. The client section tells the ICS application (Data Logger module) how to access the
provided databases.

In the SQL.INI files, lines with a leading ';' are treated as remarks and have no effect.

7.4 Interfacing MST-8515 / 8520 sterilizers

7.4.1 Sample System Layout

Figure 97: Sample layout of ICS interfacing MST-8515 sterilizers

When connecting MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizers (running PC-based database applications) to the Belimed
ICS 8535/ 8535-BC, the ICS Data Logger directly accesses the local databases of the sterilizers to take
over the cycle data into the central ICS database.

Therefore, along with applying the suitable interfacing parameters of the machine driver T8515 (see
4.2.2.4.1.4 Machine driver: T8515), the settings of the appropriate configuration files must also be
adopted on the ICS Data Logger PC as well as on the sterilizers.

7.4.2 Configuration files on ICS Data Logger (SQLBase specific)

The core database-related components of the ICS software system are Gupta/Unify's SQLBase 11.5
Database engine and the Team Developer 5.2 runtime. Both components use their own configuration file
SQL.INI (see 3.3.3.4 Data Structure after installation for the defined locations).

Notes:
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the SQLBase system (database engine) does not need to
be modified. The client section enables Gupta/Unify's utility SQLTalk to access the local databases
of the sterilizers (for test purposes).
 The server section of the SQL.INI file of the runtime component does not need to be modified
either. The client section tells the ICS application (Data Logger) how to access the local databases
of the sterilizers.

The table below shows the sections and keys of both SQL.INI configuration files (SQLBase database
engine and runtime component) which have to be adopted or extended on the Data Logger PC.
The relevant lines are indicated in green typeface. Take special care on these lines!

[win32client.ws32] [win32client.ws32]

serverpath=srvlokX,ipsteriX,2155/dbnameX serverpath=srvlokX,ipsteriX,2155/dbnameX

Notes:
 For each interfaced MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizer a separate serverpath line has to be added.
 Explanation of the green highlighted serverpath line:
srvlokX Refers to the Servername line of the sterilizer's SQL.INI configuration file
(typically servername for sterilizer #1 is: srvlok1)
ipsteriX IP address or Windows computername of the sterilizer PC
(typically IP address for sterilizer #1 is: 213.185.185.11)
dbnameX Name of active local database on the sterilizer PC
(typically database names for sterilizer #1 are: sys850k1 or db85001)
where X stands for sterilizer number

7.4.3 Sterilizer Configuration files

On each interfaced MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizer, the configuration settings must be adopted which apply
to:

 the local SQLBase database system

 the main sterilizer application (called SYS8500)
 the database backup application DASI

Notes:
 Before interfacing to a Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC, the MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizers can run either in
standalone mode or in server mode (so-called ICS 8550 or ICS 8565 environment). After the
integration into the Belimed ICS 8535/ 8535-BC has finished, the sterilizers will run in standalone
mode in any case. The settings of the configuration files shown below in column "Settings before…"
will vary therefore.
 The settings of the configuration files shown below also depend on the application version which is
running on the MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizers.
 The MST-8515/ 8520 sterilizers only feature one SQL.INI configuration file of the SQLBase system
(database engine), there is no SQL.INI configuration file for the runtime component.
 In the sample settings below it is assumed that the database system is installed on drive D:. In
column " Settings after…" the X indicates the sterilizer number.
