Processing times

The most important times for the application of the central

units 07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 / 07 KT 93 with or without
connected remote modules are:

The reaction time tkk is the time between a signal
transition at the input terminal and the signal response
at the output terminal.
In case of binary signals, the reaction time consists of
the input delay tD, the cycle time tC of the program
processing and the bus transmission time, if the
system is expanded by remote modules.

The cycle time tC determines the time intervals after
which the processor starts the execution of the user
program again.

Reaction time tkk as the sum of the input delay tv, 2 x

bus cycle time tb and 2 x cycle time tC and output delay
tDO.
In addition to calculating the cycle time tC in accordance
with chapter A1.2 (Appendix) it is possible to measure the
capacity utilization on the programmed central unit with
the RUN/STOP switch set to RUN. The menu item of
Display PLC status in the programming software 907
PC 331 can be used for this purpose. Increase the cycle
time tC until the capacity utilization is below 80 %.
A1.1

Binary instructions of the type:

The cycle time has to be specified by the user. It should

be greater than the program processing time tUP of the
user program, the data transfer times and the related
waiting times.
The cycle time is also the time base for some
time-controlled functions, such as for the PID
controller.

!M /M &M =M
!NM /NM &NM =NM
Processing time for 1000 instructions:

2 ms

!M /M &M =SM
!NM /NM &NM =RM
Processing time for 1000 instructions:

2.2 ms

Word instructions of the type:

The program processing time tUP is the net time for

processing the user program.
For the configuration and for determining the reaction
time tkk, the following steps are necessary:

Program processing time tUP

!MW +MW MW =MW

!MW MW +MW =MW
Processing time for 1000 instructions:

The cycle time tC has to be preset by the user taking the

following equation into consideration:

tC > tbc + tDP + tUP + tp + tbc

Processing times

This equation assumes that the processor always gets

access in the most unfavourable moment.
The cycle time tC is stored in KD 00,00 and can be
selected in 5 ms time steps. If the selected cycle time is
too short, the processor will not be able to fulfill the tasks
assigned to it. It will come in default then.

If this lack of time is getting too large over several cycles,

the processor will abort the program execution and output
an error (FK2).

Example:

Using some function blocks, such as the PID controller,

the error-free execution depends on an exact timing
sequence. Make sure that there is a larger time reserve.

A2.4

If analog modules are used, their module addresses can

be set to
0...5
when the central units 07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 / 07 KT 93 are
used as bus master.

If the central units 07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 / 07 KT 93 are to

be used without the CS31 system bus connected,
perform the following setting when programming in the
user program:

The analog representation in the 07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 / 07

KT 93 is fixed. The analog modules have to supply their
values in a suitable form and therefore to be set to the
analog representation b. For the analog representation,
see the general description of the analog modules
(volume 2).
The function of the address switches is as follows:

07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 / 07 KT 93 used as
stand-alone central units

System constant KW 00,00 = 2

This value is the factory setting.

The central units 07 KR 91, 07 KT 92, 07 KT 93, 07 KR 31

and 07 KT 31 can also be used as slaves at the CS31
system bus, see chapter A2.1, Addressing, Introduction,
Example 3.
The central units 07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 / 07 KT 93 / 07 KR
31 / 07 KT 31 may be used both in the binary range and in
the word range.
The address can be set to a value from 0 to 61. The
maximum permissible address depends on the size of the
set transmit and receive range. The larger you choose the
transmit or the receive range, the smaller is the maximum
permissible address (see examples 1...3).
If you want to switch over to the slave mode, proceed as
follows:
1. Change the system constant: KW 00,00 = 0...61.
Only for 07 KR 31 and 07 KT 31: If KW 00,00 = 100, the
address is set on the DIL switch of the plug-in base in
the same way as with the standard modules, the
address range is 0...61.

cold start.
There is no direct access to the inputs and outputs of the
slave central unit via the CS31 system bus. The
communication between master and slave is performed
using input and output operands.
All the master data are consistently transferred to the
slave, and all the slave data are consistently transferred
to the master.
The slave PLC can be used either in the binary range or in
the word range of the CS31 system bus. The transmit and
receive ranges of the slave can be adapted to the
application-specific requirements by means of the two
system constants KW 00,10 and KW 00,11 (see also
chapter System constants).
You can set:

The size of the transmit and receive ranges and

the mode of employment of the slave (in the binary or

the word range).

If the central units 07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 / 07 KT 93 /

07 KR 31 / 07 KT 31 are switched over to the slave
mode, they behave like binary input and output modules

in case of binary modules with combined I/O

channels, these channels can also be defined as
input only or output only,

made on the remote module and the information and
diagnosis messages which can be interrogated at the
remote module or via the CS31 system bus. This relation
will be explained in the following chapters.
There is no need for you to perform an I/O configuration
via the CS31 system bus if the factory setting is sufficient.
Once an I/O configuration has been performed, it will
remain stored in the corresponding I/O module until it is
changed again. Even in case of power OFF it will not be

Reading I/O configuration and diagnosis data at the

remote module
Reading the I/O configuration and the diagnosis data for
an I/O terminal of a remote module will be shown in the
following for the device ICSC 08 L1 as an example. The
test button 4 and the LED displays 1 of the module
have to be used for this purpose.
When the test button is pressed for the first time, channel
E/A0 (input/output 0) is selected: LED 0 flashes. After
releasing the button, the diagnosis data of this channel
are shown by the yellow LEDs 0 to 7 for approx. 3
seconds.
The LEDs have the following meaning:

The function block CS31CO is available for the I/O

configuration of the modules. This function block is part of
the programming software 907 PC 331 and is described
in the corresponding documentation.
Performing and reading the I/O configuration by
means of the terminal or TCZ
This method is based on the fact that the central units
07 KR 91, 07 KT 92 and 07 KT 93 use a dialogue
language at the programming interface which allows the
I/O configuration to be performed and interrogated by
means of simple protocols; see volume 7.3, chapter 3,
MAIL command.
07 KR 91 and 07 KT 92/93 are generally equipped with
the special function for I/O configuration.
The following devices can be used as terminal:

A commercially available terminal equipped with an

EIA232 interface, such as VT100.

A PC equipped with the programming software 907

PC 331. All the interface data are correctly set under
the main menu item of PLC communication 2,
sub-item Terminal emulation.

If the LEDs 6 and 7 light up at the same time, the
channel is configured as a combined input/output.

The meaning of the LEDs 2 is also printed onto the front

panel of the module.
The operation is repeated for the other channels each
time the test button is pressed and released.
After the last channel E/A7 (input/output 7) has been
scanned, pressing the test button again causes a lamp
test (LED test) to be performed. All the 8 LEDs should light
up. After the button has been released, the LEDs will
show the setting of the DIL switch on the plug-in base for
approx. 5 seconds. LED 0 shows the position of switch
No. 1 (LEDs 0...7 are assigned to the switches No. 1...8).
All error messages are stored in the module and can only
be deleted by pressing the test button for 10 seconds or
by power OFF/ON.

Diagnosis

A4.1

Introduction

The diagnosis system of the 07 KR 91 / 07 KT 92 /

07 KT 93 is designed to ensure a quick and efficient
troubleshooting. For this purpose, it is classified:

vertically in diagnosis, error flags, reactions, LED

displays and acknowledgement, see chapter A4.7.
There are interrelations between the bus master
central unit and the remote modules. The central unit
reads the diagnosis data which the remote modules
have found out. An acknowledgement in the central
unit also causes the stored error messages in the
remote modules to be deleted.

Errors on the CS31 system bus

Errors in the remote modules

Errors in the wiring of the remote modules on the

process side

The troubleshooting is performed as follows:

The LEDs on the central unit 07 KR 91, 07 KT 92 and

07 KT 93 give first hints, see chapter A4.3. The errors
detected by the remote modules are also displayed
here.

If these hints are not sufficient, the error flags have to

be read out. For the meaning of the error flags, see
chapters A4.7 and A4.10.

horizontally in 4 error classes, in correspondence

with the severity of the error, see chapter A4.7.

This concept is based on a system structure consisting of

a bus master central unit and several remote modules,
and remote processors as well. The diagnosis system
detects the following errors:

The status register EW 07,15 in the central unit

supplies additional information to be used for the
diagnosis, see chapter A4.9.

The remote modules indicate errors occurring in their

area. Detailed information can be obtained by
pressing the test key on the modules, see chapter
A4.4.

monitored has to be equipped with a resistor of
20...30 k
, e.g. in parallel to the signalling contact.
CO Cut Wire of Outputs = Open circuit (monitoring) at
outputs, if configured. Each output expects a
minimum load of approx. 40 mA when an ON signal is
output.
OL Overload (is always monitored).
SC Short circuit (is always monitored).

UE Unit error = internal error (fault) of the module (always

monitored in so far as the internal processor can
detect this).
Troubleshooting in the remote modules
The LED 3 lights up, if the remote module has detected
an error.

The remote module supplies detailed error information

via the 8 LEDs 1 , it the test button 4 is pressed; see
also the module descriptions.
The procedure will be explained in the following for the
module ICSC 08 L1 as an example.
After the test button has been pressed for the first time,
channel E/A0 (input/output 0) is selected: LED0 flashes.
After the button has been released, The diagnosis data of
this channel are shown via the yellow LEDs 0 to 7 for
approx. 3 seconds.

test (LED test) to be performed. All the 8 LEDs should light
up. After the button has been released, the LED will show
the setting of the DIL switch on the plug-in base for
approx. 5 seconds. LED 0 shows the position of switch
No. 1 (LEDs 0...7 are assigned to switches No. 1...8).
All the error messages are stored in the module and can
only be deleted by pressing the test button for 10 seconds
or by power OFF/ON.

Acknowledgement of error messages in

the remote modules

The remote modules store and display the error

messages detected independently of the central unit. The
error messages can be acknowledged

on the remote module by pressing the test button

in the user program by means of the function block

CS31QU (this also deletes the error message stored
in the central unit)

in the terminal mode by means of the command

MAIL, see volume 7.3, chapter 3.

If the error has not been eliminated, the error message

appears again.

Note:
If there are only analog modules
connected to the CS31 system
bus, this error message may
occur when the supply voltage is
switched on although the analog
modules have been correctly
adopted into the CS31 bus cycle
after a certain time.
Reason:
The analog modules have a long
initialization time. After this time is
over, they only now appear at the
CS31 bus as remote modules.
During the initialization time the
master PLC cannot recognize
them.

The ARCnet system (Attached Resource Computer Network)

ARCnet is a system for data transmission in local networks

The ARCnet protocol is based on the Token Passing
principle.

By passing an identifier (token) from station to station
it is guaranteed, that only one station can start a data
transmission (transmission without collisions).

The order of sequence, in which the stations are accessed, is automatically adapted by the existing
conditions in the network, i.e. that the network is reconfigured automatically each time a station is added
to the network or switched off.

A8.1

The networking configurations

Linear ARCnet

In the Linear ARCnet configuration, the stations are

connected to one another directly, i.e. without using
any distribution units.

Each station is inserted into the network by using a T
connector.

Both cable ends must be terminated by termination resistors.

A maximum of 8 stations can be connected to one linear ARCnet.

The maximum length of the network is 300 m.

An additional segment can be connected at the end of
the wired segment via an Active Hub (active distribution unit), see next page.

Data transmission rate 2.5 MBit/s

Coaxial cable of type RG62/U, 93


Maximum number of stations: 255

Maximum distances

The maximum distance between two stations
amounts to 6 km.

The maximum distance between an Active Hub and
an ARCnet station or between two Active Hubs
amounts to 600 m.

The maximum distance between a Passive Hub and
an ARCnet station or between an Active Hub and a
Passive Hub is 30 m. A Passive Hub works like a resistor network which carries out the cable termination at
the stations.

The maximum distance within a Linear ARCnet is
300 m. A maximum of 8 stations can be connected.
