Introduction

What Is a Network Interface Module?

Purpose Every island requires a network interface module (NIM) in the leftmost location of the primary segment. Physically, the NIM is the first (leftmost) module on the island bus. Functionally, it is the gateway to the island busall communications to and from the island bus pass through the NIM. The NIM also has an integrated power supply that provides logic power to the island modules. An island bus is a node of distributed I/O on an open fieldbus network, and the NIM is the islands interface to that network. The NIM supports data transfers over the fieldbus network between the island and the fieldbus master. The physical design of the NIM makes it compatible with both an Advantys STB island and your specific fieldbus master. Whereas the fieldbus connector on each NIM type may differ, the location on the module front panel is essentially the same. Other NIM connectors, such as the power supply interface and the CFG interface (See The CFG Interface, p. 35), are identical for all NIM types. NIM-supported communications include:
Function data exchange Role The NIM manages the exchange of input and output data between the island and the fieldbus master. Input data, stored in native island bus format, is converted to a fieldbus-specific format that can be read by the fieldbus master. Output data written to the NIM by the master is sent across the island bus to update the output modules and is automatically reformatted. Custom services can be performed by the Advantys configuration software. These services include changing the operating parameters of the I/O modules, fine-tuning island bus performance, and configuring reflex actions. The Advantys configuration software runs on a computer attached to the NIMs CFG port. An HMI panel can be configured as an input and/or output device on the island bus. As an input device, it can write data that can be received by the fieldbus master; as an output device, it can receive updated data from the fieldbus master. The HMI can also monitor island status, data, and diagnostic information. The HMI panel must be attached to the NIMs CFG port.

Introduction

Integrated Power Supply

The NIMs built-in 24-to-5 VDC power supply provides logic power to the I/O modules on the primary segment of the island bus. The power supply requires a 24 VDC external power source. It converts the 24 VDC to 5 V of logic power, providing 1.2 A of current to the island. Individual STB I/O modules in an island segment generally draw a current load of between 50 and 90 mA. (Consult the Advantys STB Hardware Components Reference Guide [890 USE 172] for a particular modules specifications.) If the current drawn by the I/O modules totals more than 1.2 A, additional STB power supplies need to be installed to support the load. The NIM delivers the logic power signal to the primary segment only. Special STB XBE 1200 beginning-of-segment (BOS) modules, located in the first slot of each extension segment, have their own built-in power supplies, which will provide logic power to the STB I/O modules in the extension segments. Each BOS module that you install requires 24 VDC from an external power supply.

What Is Advantys STB?

Introduction Advantys STB is an assembly of distributed I/O, power, and other modules that function together as an island node on an open fieldbus network. Advantys STB delivers a highly modular and versatile slice I/O solution for the manufacturing industry, with a migration path to the process industry. Advantys STB lets you design an island of distributed I/O where the I/O modules can be installed as close as possible to the mechanical field devices that they control. This integrated concept is known as mechatronics. An Advantys STB island can support as many as 32 I/O modules. These modules may be Advantys STB I/O modules, preferred modules, and standard CANopen devices. STB I/O modules on an island may be interconnected in groups called segments. Every island has at least one segment, called the primary segmentit is always the first segment on the island bus. The NIM is the first module in the primary segment. The primary segment must contain at least one Advantys STB I/O module and can support an I/O load of up to 1.2 A. The segment also contains one or more power distribution modules (PDMs), which distribute field power to the I/O modules.

Introduction

Extension Segments

Advantys STB I/O modules that do not reside in the primary segment can be installed in extension segments. Extension segments are optional segments that enable an island to be a truly distributed I/O system. The island bus can support as many as six extension segments. Special extension modules and extension cables are used to connect segments in a series. The extension modules are: l the STB XBE 1000 EOS module, which is the last module in a segment if the island bus is extended l the STB XBE 1200 BOS module, which is the first module in an extension segment The BOS module has a built-in 24-to-5 VDC power supply similar to the NIM. The BOS power supply also provides 1.2 A of logic power to the STB I/O modules in an extension segment. Extension modules are connected by lengths of STB XCA 100x cable that extend the island communication bus from the previous segment to the next BOS module:

Introduction

Preferred Modules

An island bus can also support those auto-addressable modules referred to as preferred modules. Preferred modules do not mount in segments, but they do count as part of the 32-module maximum system limit. Note: If you want to include preferred modules in your island, you need to configure the island using the Advantys configuration software. A preferred module can connect to an island bus segment via an STB XBE 1000 EOS module and a length of STB XCA 100x bus extension cable. Each preferred module has two IEEE 1394-style cable connectors, one to receive the island bus signals and the other to transmit them to the next module in the series. Preferred modules are also equipped with termination, which must be enabled if a preferred module is the last device on the island bus and must be disabled if other modules follow the preferred device on the island bus. Preferred modules can be chained to one another in a series, or they can connect to Advantys STB segments. As shown in the following figure, a preferred module passes the island bus communications signal from the primary segment to an extension segment of Advantys STB I/O modules:

Introduction

Standard CANopen Devices

You may also install one or more standard CANopen devices on an island. These devices are not auto-addressable, and they must be installed at the end of the island bus. If you want to install standard CANopen devices on an island, you need to use an STB XBE 2100 CANopen extension module as the last module in the last segment. Note: If you want to include standard CANopen devices in your island, you need to configure the island using the Advantys configuration software. Because standard CANopen devices cannot be auto-addressed on the island bus, they must be addressed using physical addressing mechanisms on the devices. Because standard CANopen devices must be installed at the end of the island, the last device on the island bus must be terminated with 120 .

Introduction

About the CANopen Fieldbus Protocol

Introduction CANopen, a digital communications network, is a defined set of instructions for transmitting data and services in an open CAN environment. CANopen is a standard profile for industrial automation systems based on CAL (the CAN application layer). It is especially suited to real-time automation because it is an efficient, low-cost solution for industrial, embedded, and portable applications. CANopen specifies a communication profile (DS-301) and a set of device profiles (DS-401, DSP-402, etc.). General system features, like synchronized data exchange, event and error notification, and system-wide timing mechanisms are also defined. Note: For more on standard CANopen specifications and mechanisms, refer to the CiA home page (http//www.can-cia.de/).

Physical Layer

CAN employs a differentially driven (common return), two-wire bus line. A CAN signal is the difference between the voltage levels of the CAN-high and CAN-low wires. (See the figure below). The figure shows the physical layer components on a two-wire CAN bus:

CAN Bus Line

1 2 3 4 5

CAN-high wire CAN-low wire difference between the CAN-high/CAN-low voltage signals 120 termination node

Bus wires can be routed in parallel or twisted or shielded, depending on EMC requirements. A single line structure minimizes reflection. EMI The CAN physical layer is not highly susceptible to EMI because the difference in the two wires is unchanged when both wires are affected equally by interference.

Introduction

Node Limitations Maximum Network Lengths

A CANopen network is limited to 128 nodes (node IDs 0 to 127). The following table shows the range of bauds that the STB NCO 2212 CANopen NIM supports for CAN devices and the resulting maximum length of the CANopen network.
Baud 1 mbits/s 800 kbits/s 500 kbits/s 250 kbits/s 125 kbits/s 50 kbits/s 20 kbits/s 10 kbits/s CANopen Network Length 25 m 50 m 100 m 250 m 500 m 1000 m 2500 m 5000 m

Producer/ Consumer Model

Like any broadcast communications network, CANopen operates within a producer/ consumer model. All nodes listen on the network for messages that apply to their functionality (according to information in their own object dictionaries). Messages sent by producer devices will be accepted only by particular consumer devices. CANopen also employs the client/server and master/slave models.

Introduction

Message Prioritization and Arbitration

At any given time, only one node has write access to the CANopen bus. If a node is transmitting on the bus, all other nodes must wait for the bus to be free before attempting a transmission. CAN data frames have an arbitration field that includes the message identifier field and a remote transmission request bit. When two messages collide while attempting to access the physical layer at the same time, the transmitting nodes perform bitwise arbitration on each others arbitration fields. The figure shows the arbitration of the two fields:

1 2

message with the dominant bit (0) message with the recessive bit (1)

As long as the bits in the arbitration fields have matching values (like the first six bits in the example), they are transmitted on the fieldbus. When the binary values differ (as they do for the seventh bit), the lower value (0) overrides the higher (1). Therefore, message 1 is established as dominant and the transmitting node simply continues to send the remainder of the message data (the shaded area) on the bus. When the bus is free after the complete transmission of message 1, the transmitting node for message 2 will attempt to access the bus again. Note: Message priority (as a binary value) is determined during system design. Identifiers must be unique to avoid the risk of identical identifiers being associated with different data.

Introduction

Data Frame Identification

A CANopen data frame can comprise 46 to 110 bits:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

start (1 bit) identifier (11 bits): low value = high priority (0 = highest priority) remote transmission request (RTR) (1 bit) identifier extension (IDE) (1 bit): first bit of 6-bit control field r0 (1 bit): reserved data length code (DLC) (4 bits): data length for code in field 7 data field (0-64 bits [0-8 bytes]): application data of the message cyclic redundancy check (including CRC delimiter) (15 bits) = high (recessive): checksum for preceding message bits ACK field (2 bits) (including ACK delimiter = high (recessive)

10 end of frame (EOF) and inter frame space (IFS) (10 bits)

Object Dictionary

The object dictionary (See The CANopen NIMs Object Dictionary, p. 64) is the most important part of the device model (See The Device Model and Communication Objects, p. 61) because it is a map to the internal structure of a particular CANopen device (according to CANopen profile DS-401). The EDS (electronic data sheet (See The Advantys STB Electronic Data Sheet (EDS), p. 60)) is an ASCII file that contains information about a devices communications functionality and the objects in its object dictionary (according to DS-301). Device-specific and manufacturer-specific objects are also defined in the EDS (CiA standards DS-401 and DSP-402). Each CANopen modules objects and communications functionality are described in its EDS. The EDS specifies the implemented object dictionary entries for a particular device. Only configurable objects are described in the EDS.

CANopen Fieldbus Interface

Summary The fieldbus interface on the front of the module is the point of connection between the Advantys STB I/O modules and the CANopen network. The interface is a ninepin SUB-D (male) connector. The fieldbus interface is located on the front of the module at the top:

Fieldbus Port Connections

It is recommended that you use a 9-pin SUB-D (male) connector compliant with DIN 41652 or corresponding international standard. The pin-out should be according to the table below:

CANopen Networking Cable and Connectors

The drop cable from the fieldbus to the island must have a female connector that observes the above pin assignment scheme. The CANopen networking cable is a shielded, twisted-pair electrical cable, compliant with CANopen standard CiA DR303-1. There should not be an interruption to any wire in the bus cable. This allows for a future specification for use of reserved pins.

Rotary Switches: Setting the Baud and Network Node Address

Summary The rotary switches on the STB NCO 2212 CANopen NIM are used to set the Advantys STB islands node address and baud. The two rotary switches are located on the front of the CANopen NIM, below the fieldbus connection port. Each switch has sixteen positions.

Physical Description

The Baud

The NIM detects a new baud selection in the rotary switches only during power up. The baud is written to nonvolatile Flash memory. It is overwritten only if the NIM detects a change in the baud selection switches during a subsequent power up. In all likelihood, you will rarely change this setting because your systems baud requirements are not likely to change over the short term. On the lower switch (BAUD RATE), positions 0 through 9 are labeled incrementally on the housing. Setting the lower switch to any of the last six unmarked positions allows you to set a particular baud with the upper switch (ADDRESS).

Baud Selection Table

When the lower switch is turned to any one of its baud rate positions, the baud is defined by the position on the upper switch. Only positions 0 through 7 are used to set the baud.

The Node Address

Because the CANopen fieldbus master sees the Advantys STB island as one network node, the island has a single fieldbus network address. Unlike the baud, the node address is not stored in Flash memory. The NIM reads the node address from the rotary switches each time the island powers up. The address can be any numeric from 1 to 127 that is unique with respect to other nodes on the network. The fieldbus master and the island bus can communicate over the CANopen network only while the NIMs rotary switches are set to a valid address (See Valid CANopen Node Addresses, p. 30). Instructions for setting the node address are in the table.
Step 1 Action Comment

Setting the Node Address

Be sure you have set the desired baud If you set the baud after setting the node address, the system will not read a node (with the procedure above) before address from the rotary switches at the setting the node address. next startup. Bring the power down on the island. Select a node address that is currently available on your fieldbus network. The changes you are about to make will be detected only at the next power up. Your list of active fieldbus nodes indicates whether a particular address is available.

With a small screwdriver, set the lower For example, for a node address of 96, set the lower switch to 6. rotary switch to the position that represents the digit in the ones position of your selected node address. With a small screwdriver, set the upper For example, for a node address of 96, set the upper switch to 9. rotary switch to the position that represents the two digits in the tens and hundreds position of your selected node address. Power up Advantys STB. The NIM reads the rotary switch settings only during power up.

Using the Node Address

After configuring the islands fieldbus network address, it is best to simply leave the rotary switches set to that address. In this way, the CANopen network always identifies the island as the same node address at each power up.

890USE17600 September 2003

29

The STB NCO 2212 NIM Module

Valid CANopen Node Addresses

Each rotary switch position that you can use to set the node address for your island is marked incrementally on the NIM housing. The available positions on each rotary switch are: l upper switch0 to 12 (tens digit) l lower switch0 to 9 (ones digit) For example, the figure (See Physical Description, p. 27) at the beginning of this topic shows an address of 123 represented by the selection of 3 on the lower switch and 12 on the upper switch. Note that it is mechanically possible to set any node address from 00 to 129, however, addresses 128 and 129 are not available because CANopen supports only 128 node addresses (0 to 127). Also, 00 is never used as a CANopen node address. The NIM will only communicate with the fieldbus network while the rotary switches are set to a valid CANopen node address (See Valid CANopen Node Addresses, p. 30). If the bottom switch is in the baud rate position (or if both switches represent an invalid CANopen address), the NIM will wait for you to set a node address before it begins to communicate on the fieldbus. Therefore, configure the desired baud before assigning the islands node address to avoid having to reset the address switches later. If the island has an invalid node address, it cannot communicate with the master. To establish communication, set the switches to a valid address and cycle power on the island.

Using the LED Tables

As you refer to the tables for this topic, keep in mind the following: l It is assumed that the POWER LED is on continuously, indicating that the NIM is receiving adequate power. If the POWER LED is off, logic power (See Logic Power, p. 39) to the NIM is off or insufficient. l Individual blinks are approximately 200 ms. There is a one-second interval between blink sequences. For example: l blinkingblinks steadily, alternating between 200 ms on and 200 ms off. l blink 1blinks once (200 ms), then 1 second off. l blink 2blinks twice (200 ms on, 200 ms off, 200 ms on), then one second off. l blink Nblinks N (some number of) times, then one second off. l If the TEST LED is on, either the configuration software or an HMI panel is the master of the island bus. If the TEST LED is off, the fieldbus master has control of island bus. The following table describes the indicated condition(s) and the colors and blink patterns that the CAN ERR and CAN RUN LEDs use to show normal operations and error conditions for an Advantys STB CANopen NIM on a CANopen fieldbus.
Label Pattern off blinking CAN ERR (red) on blink: 1 blink: 2 blink: N off CAN RUN (green) steady blink on blink: 1 Meaning No error. Invalid node address on rotary switches.

The CFG Interface

Purpose The CFG port is the connection point to the island bus for either a computer running the Advantys configuration software or an HMI panel. The CFG interface is a front-accessible RS-232 interface located behind a hinged flap on the bottom front of the NIM:

Physical Description

The port uses a male eight-pin HE-13 connector. Port Parameters The CFG port supports the set of communication parameters listed in the following table. If you want to apply any settings other than the factory default values, you must use the Advantys configuration software:
Parameter bit rate (baud) data bits stop bits parity Modbus communications mode Valid Values Factory Default Settings

2400 / 4800 / 9600 / 19200 / 9600 38400/ 57600 7/8 1/2 none/odd/even RTU/ASCII 8 1 even RTU

Note: To restore all of the CFG ports communication parameters to their factory default settings, push the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) on the NIM. Be aware, however, that this action will overwrite all of the islands current configuration values with factory default values. You can also password protect a configuration, thereby putting the island in protected mode (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 139). If you do this, however, the RST button will be disabled and you will not be able to use it to reset the port parameters.

Introduction The NIMs built-in power supply requires 24 VDC from an external SELV-rated power source. The connection between the 24 VDC source and the Advantys STB island is the two-receptacle connector illustrated below. Power from the external 24 VDC supply comes in to the NIM through a tworeceptacle connector located at the bottom left of the module:

Logic Power
Introduction Logic power is a 5 VDC power signal on the island bus that the I/O modules require for internal processing. The NIM has a built-in power supply that provides logic power. The NIM sends the 5 V logic power signal across the island bus to support the modules in the primary segment. Input from an external 24 VDC power supply (See Characteristics of the External Power Supply, p. 41) is needed as the source power for the NIMs built-in power supply. The NIMs built-in power supply converts the incoming 24 V to 5 V of logic power. The external supply must be rated safety extra low voltage (SELV-rated). CAUTION IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION The power components are not galvanically isolated. They are intended for use only in systems designed to provide SELV isolation between the supply inputs or outputs and the load devices or system power bus. You must use SELV-rated supplies to provide 24 VDC source power to the island. Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

The logic power signal is terminated in the STB XBE 1000 module at the end of the segment (EOS). Island Bus Loads The built-in power supply produces 1.2 A of current for the island bus. Individual STB I/O modules generally draw a current load of between 50 and 90 mA. (Consult the Advantys STB Hardware Components Reference Guide (890 USE 172 00) for a particular modules specifications.) If the current drawn by the I/O modules totals more than 1.2 A, additional STB power supplies need to be installed to support the load.

Selecting a Source Power Supply for the Islands Logic Power Bus
Logic Power Requirements An external 24 VDC power supply is needed as the source for logic power to the island bus. The external power supply connects to the islands NIM. This external supply provides the 24 V input to the built-in 5 V power supply in the NIM. The NIM delivers the logic power signal to the primary segment only. Special STB XBE 1200 beginning-of-segment (BOS) modules, located in the first slot of each extension segment, have their own built-in power supplies, which will provide logic power to the STB I/O modules in the extension segments. Each BOS module that you install requires 24 VDC from an external power supply. The external power supply needs to deliver 24 VDC source power to the island. The supply that you select can have a low range limit of 19.2 VDC and a high range limit of 30 VDC. The external supply must be rated safety extra low voltage (SELV-rated). The SELV-rating means that SELV isolation is provided between the power supplys inputs and outputs, the power bus, and the devices connected to the island bus. Under normal or single-fault conditions the voltage between any two accessible parts, or between an accessible part and the protective earth (PE) terminal for Class 1 equipment, will not exceed a safe value (60 VDC max.). CAUTION IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION The power components are not galvanically isolated. They are intended for use only in systems designed to provide SELV isolation between the supply inputs or outputs and the load devices or system power bus. You must use SELV-rated supplies to provide 24 VDC source power to the island. Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

The STB NCO 2212 NIM Module

Calculating the Wattage Requirement

The amount of power (See Logic Power Flow, p. 40) that the external power supply must deliver is a function of the number of modules and the number of built-in power supplies installed on the island. The external supply needs to provide 13 W of power for the NIM and 13 W for each additional STB power supply (like an STB XBE 1200 BOS module). For example, a system with one NIM in the primary segment and one BOS module in an extension segment would require 26 W of power. For example, the figure below shows an extended island:

890USE17600 September 2003

The STB NCO 2212 NIM Module

The extended island bus contains three built-in power supplies: l the supply built into the NIM, which resides in the leftmost location of the primary segment l a power supply built into each of the STB XBE 1200 BOS extension modules, which reside in the leftmost location of the two extension segments In the figure, the external supply would provide 13 W of power for the NIM plus 13 W for each of the two BOS modules in the extension segments (for a total of 39 W). Note: If the 24 VDC source power supply also supplies field voltage to a power distribution module (PDM), you must add the field load to your wattage calculation. For 24 VDC loads, the calculation is simply amps x volts = watts.

Suggested Devices

The external power supply is generally enclosed in the same cabinet as the island. Usually the external power supply is a DIN rail-mountable unit. For installations that require 72 W or less from a 24 VDC source power supply, we recommend a device such as the ABL7 RE2403 Phaseo power supply from Telemecanique, distributed in the United States by Square D. This supply is DIN railmountable and has a form factor similar to that of the island modules. If you have room in your cabinet and your 24 VDC power requirements are greater than 72 W, summable power supply options such as Schneiders Premium TSX SUP 1011 (26 W), TSX SUP 1021 (53 W), TSX SUP 1051 (120 W), or TSX SUP 1101 (240 W) can be considered. These modules are also available from Telemecanique and, in the United States, from Square D.

At a Glance
Introduction The information in this chapter describes the auto-addressing and autoconfiguration processes. An Advantys STB system has an auto-configuration capability in which the current, actual assembly of I/O modules on the island bus is read every time that the island bus is either powered up or reset. This configuration data is saved to Flash memory automatically. The removable memory card is discussed in this chapter. The card is an Advantys STB option for storing configuration data offline. Factory default settings can be restored to the island bus I/O modules and the CFG port by engaging the RST button. The NIM is the physical and logical location of all island bus configuration data and functionality. This chapter contains the following topics:

Configuring the Island Bus

Auto-Addressing
Introduction Each time that the island is powered up or reset, the NIM automatically assigns a unique island bus address to each module on the island that will engage in data exchange. All Advantys STB I/O modules and preferred devices engage in data exchange and require island bus addresses. An island bus address is a unique integer value in the range 0 through 127 that identifies the physical location of each addressable module on the island. Addresses 0, 124, 125 and 126 are reserved. Address 127 is always the NIMs address. Addresses 1 through 123 are available for I/O modules and other island devices. During initialization, the NIM detects the order in which modules are installed and addresses them sequentially from left to right, starting with the first addressable module after the NIM. No user action is required to address these modules. The following module types require island bus addresses: l Advantys STB I/O modules l preferred devices l standard CANopen devices Because they do not exchange data on the island bus, the following are not addressed: l bus extension modules l PDMs such as the STB PDT 3100 and STB PDT 2100 l empty bases l termination plate

This ability of island modules to operate with default parameters is known as auto-configuration. Once an island bus has been installed, assembled, and successfully parameterized and configured for your fieldbus network, you can begin using it as a node on that network. Note: A valid island configuration does not require the intervention of the optional Advantys configuration software.

About AutoConfiguration

Auto-configuration occurs when: l You power up an island for the first time. l You push the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55). As part of the auto-configuration process, the NIM checks each module and confirms that it has been properly connected to the island bus. The NIM stores the default operating parameters for each module in Flash memory. You can customize the operating parameters of the I/O modules, create reflex actions, add preferred modules and/or CANopen standard devices to the island bus, and customize other island capabilities.

Installing the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card

Introduction The STB XMP 4440 removable memory card is a 32-kbyte subscriber identification module (SIM) that lets you store (See Saving Configuration Data, p. 138), distribute, and reuse custom island bus configurations. If the island is in unprotected (edit) mode (See Protection Feature, p. 139) and a removable memory card containing a valid island bus configuration is inserted in the NIM, the configuration data on the card overwrites the configuration data in Flash memory, and is adopted when the island starts up. If the island is in protected mode, the island ignores the presence of a removable memory card. The removable memory card is an optional Advantys STB feature. Note: Network configuration data, such as the fieldbus baud setting cannot be saved to the card.

Physical Description

The card measures 25.1 mm (0.99 in) wide x 15 mm (0.59 in) high x 0.76 mm (0.30 in) thick. It is shipped as a punch-out on a credit-card-sized plastic card, which measures 85.6 mm (3.37 in) wide x 53.98 mm (2.13 in) high. Note: Keep the card free of contaminants and dirt.

CAUTION LOSS OF CONFIGURATIONMEMORY CARD DAMAGE OR CONTAMINATION The cards performance can be degraded by dirt or grease on its circuitry. Contamination or damage may create an invalid configuration. l Use care when handling the card. l Inspect for contamination, physical damage, and scratches before installing the card in the NIM drawer. l If the card does get dirty, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

Make sure that the edges of the card are smooth after you punch it out. 2 3 Open the card drawer on the front of the NIM. If it makes it easier for you to work, you may pull the drawer completely out from the NIM housing. Align the chamfered edge (the 45 corner) of the removable memory card with the one in the mounting slot in the card drawer. Hold the card so that the chamfer is in the upper left corner.

Seat the card in the mounting slot, applying slight pressure to the card until it snaps into place. The back edge of the card must be flush with the back of the drawer. Close the drawer.

Using the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card to Configure the Island Bus
Introduction A removable memory card is read when an island is powered on. If the configuration data on the card is valid, the current configuration data in Flash memory is overwritten. A removable memory card can be active only if an island is in edit mode. If an island is in protected mode (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 139), the card and its data are ignored. The following discussion describes several island configuration scenarios that use the removable memory card. The scenarios assume that a removable memory card is already installed in the NIM: l initial island bus configuration l replace the current configuration data in Flash memory in order to: l apply custom configuration data to your island l temporarily implement an alternative configuration; for example, to replace an island configuration used daily with one used to fulfill a special order l copying configuration data from one NIM to another, including from a failed NIM to its replacement; the NIMs must run the same fieldbus protocol l configuring multiple islands with the same configuration data Note: Whereas writing configuration data from the removable memory card to the NIM does not require use of the optional Advantys configuration software, you must use this software to save (write) configuration data to the removable memory card in the first place.

Configuration Scenarios

Edit Mode

Your island bus must be in edit mode to be configured. In edit mode, the island bus can be written to as well as monitored. Edit mode is the default operational mode for the Advantys STB island: l A new island is in edit mode. l Edit mode is the default mode for a configuration downloaded from the Advantys configuration software to the configuration memory area in the NIM.

Configuring the Island Bus

Initial Configuration and Reconfiguration Scenarios

Use the following procedure to set up an island bus with configuration data that was previously saved (See Saving Configuration Data, p. 138) to a removable memory card. You can use this procedure to configure a new island or to overwrite an existing configuration. Note: Using this procedure will destroy your existing configuration data.
Step 1 Action Install (See Installing the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card, p. 50) the removable memory card in its drawer in the NIM. Power on the new island bus. The configuration data on the card is checked. If the data is valid, it is written to Flash memory. The system restarts automatically, and the island is configured with this data. If the configuration data is invalid, it is not used and the island bus will stop. If the configuration data was unprotected, the island bus remains in edit mode. If the configuration data on the card was password-protected (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 139), your island bus enters protected mode at the end of the configuration process. Note: If you are using this procedure to reconfigure an island bus and your island is in protected mode, you can use the configuration software to change the islands operational mode to edit. Result

Configuring Multiple Island Buses with the Same Data

You can use a removable memory card to make a copy of your configuration data; then use the card to configure multiple island buses. This capability is particularly advantageous in a distributed manufacturing environment or for an OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Note: The island buses may be either new or previously configured, but the NIMs must all run the same fieldbus protocol.

The RST Button

Summary The RST function is basically a Flash memory overwriting operation. This means that RST is functional only after the island has been successfully configured at least once. All RST functionality is performed with the RST button, which is enabled only in edit mode. The RST button is located immediately above the CFG port (See Physical Description, p. 35), and behind the same hinged cover:

Physical Description

RST button

Holding down the RST button for two seconds or longer causes Flash memory to be overwritten, resulting in a new configuration for the island. CAUTION UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION OVERWRITTENRST BUTTON Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. Pushing the RST button will cause the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory default operating parameters. Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

Engaging the RST Button

To engage the RST button, it is recommended that you use a small screwdriver with a flat blade no wider than 2.5 mm (.10 in). Do not use a sharp object that might damage the RST button, nor a soft item like a pencil that might break off and jam the button.

Configuring the Island Bus

RST Functionality
Introduction The RST function allows you to reconfigure the operating parameters and values of an island by overwriting the current configuration in Flash memory. RST functionality affects the configuration values associated with the I/O modules on the island, the operational mode of the island, and the CFG port parameters. The RST function is performed by holding down the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) for at least two seconds. The RST button is enabled only in edit mode. In protected mode (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 139), the RST button is disabled; pressing it has no effect. Note: Network settings, such as the fieldbus baud and the fieldbus node ID, remain unaffected.

CAUTION UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION DATA OVERWRITTENRST BUTTON Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. Pushing the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory default operating parameters. Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

RST Configuration Scenarios

The following scenarios describe some of the ways that you can use the RST function to configure your island: l Restore factory-default parameters and values to an island, including to the I/O modules and the CFG port (See Port Parameters, p. 35). l Add a new I/O module to a previously auto-configured (See Auto-Configuration, p. 49) island. If a new I/O module is added to the island, pressing the RST button will force the auto-configuration process. The updated island configuration data is automatically written to Flash memory.

Configuring the Island Bus

Overwriting Flash Memory with Factory Default Values

The following procedure describes how to use the RST function to write default configuration data to Flash memory. Follow this procedure if you want to restore default settings to an island. This is also the procedure to use to update the configuration data in Flash memory after you add an I/O module to a previously auto-configured island bus. Because this procedure will overwrite the configuration data, you may want to save your existing island configuration data to a removable memory card before pushing the RST button.
Step 1 2 3 Action If you have a removable memory card installed, remove it (See Removing the Card, p. 52). Ensure that your island is in edit mode. Hold the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) down for at least two seconds.

The Role of the NIM in this Process

The NIM reconfigures the island bus with default parameters as follows:
Stage 1 2 3 4 Description The NIM auto-addresses (See Auto-Addressing, p. 46) the I/O modules on the island and derives their factory-default configuration values. The NIM overwrites the current configuration in Flash memory with configuration data that uses the factory-default values for the I/O modules. It resets the communication parameters on its CFG port to their factory-default values (See Port Parameters, p. 35). It re-initializes the island bus and brings it into operational mode.

At a Glance
Introduction This chapter describes how the CANopen master sets up communications between itself and an Advantys STB island bus. The chapter describes the parameterization, configuration, and diagnostics services that are performed in order to configure the island bus as a node on a CANopen network. To communicate with an Advantys STB island, the CANopen master sends output data across its network to the STB NCO 2212 CANopen NIM. The NIM transfers this output data from the master across the island bus to the destination output modules. The NIM will collect input data from the island bus I/O modules. That data is transmitted in bit-packed format over the CANopen network to the fieldbus master. This chapter contains the following topics:

The Advantys STB Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)

Introduction As with any CANopen network node, your Advantys STB island needs to export an electronic data sheet (EDS) to the fieldbus master. The NIMs EDS describes the island configuration as a single node on the CANopen network. By exporting its EDS file to the CANopen master, a node reveals its object dictionary entries to the controlling device. The EDS is a standardized ASCII file that contains information about a network devices communications functionality and the contents of its object dictionary (as defined in DS-301). The EDS also defines device-specific and manufacturer-specific objects (according to DS-401 and DSP-402). Using the EDS, you can standardize tools to: l configure CANopen devices l design networks for CANopen devices l manage project information on different platforms The parameters of a particular island configuration depend on those objects (application, communications, parameter, emergency, and other objects) that reside on the individual island modules. An EDS that describes the islands basic functionality and objects is included with the STB NCO 2212 CANopen NIM product. Using the basic EDS, you will need to define PDOs (See Defining PDOs, p. 113) to access those objects defined within it. If you wish, you can generate a configuration-specific EDS for your particular island using the (optional) Advantys configuration software.

The Device Model and Communication Objects

Summary The interchangeability and interoperability of standard devices in a CANopen system require that the functionality of each device be described to the network in a specific device profile that is based on the CANopen device model. Different manufacturers have agreed to standard device profiles for separating industrial automation devices into classes, like encoders, drives, and generic I/O. The CANopen specification is composed of a set of device profiles that are developed using the device model:
Communication State Machine Entry 1 NMT-object Entry 2 Application Object Process (I/Os) Object Dictionary Application State Machine

The Device Model

SDO CAN bus PDO PDO Application Object PDO SYNC Entry n Application Object Application Object

Device Model Components

In CANopens object-oriented approach, there are basically two types of objects: l communication objectsA communication object (COB) is a unit of transportation (a "message") in a CAN-based network. Data must be sent across a CAN network inside a COB. A COB can contain at most 8 bytes of data. CANopen COBs indicate a particular functionality in a device and are specified in the CANopen communication profile. l application objectsApplication objects represent device-specific functionality, such as the state of input or output data. Application objects are specified in the device profile (DS-301).

The CANopen NIMs Object Dictionary

About the Object Dictionary The object dictionary is the most important part of the CANopen device model (See The Device Model and Communication Objects, p. 61) because it is a map to the internal structure of CANopen devices (according to CANopen profile DS-401). A given devices object dictionary is a lookup table that describes the data types, COBs, and application objects the device uses. By accessing a particular devices object dictionary structure through the CANopen fieldbus, you can predict its network behavior and, therefore, build a distributed application that implements it. CANopen addresses the contents of the object dictionary using a16-bit index with an 8-bit subindex. There are three object dictionary regions:
Index (hex) 1000-1FFF 2000-5FFF 6000-9FFF Object communication profile area manufacturer-specific area device-specific profile area Function communication capabilities diagnostic information, some I/O data I/O data

Index Ranges

Manufacturer-specific objects and device-specific objects are mappable to PDOs, which are then sent along the CANopen fieldbus. Standard Device Profiles Digital Inputs Profiles for the standard devices that the CANopen NIM supports are described in the following tables. When an 8-bit digital input for a digital I/O module is changed, a default TxPDO is transmitted.

Object Descriptions and Index Addresses

Introduction A COB is a unit of transportation, or message, in a CAN network. Data on a CAN network must be sent in COBs. A single COB can contain at most 8 bytes of data. There are 2048 different COB-IDs in a CAN network. Descriptions and index addresses (in the NIMs object dictionary) of the most commonly used Advantys STB COB-IDs follow. l communications objects l manufacturer-specific objects l device-specific objects There are various types of communications objects within the CANopen network protocol. CANopen specifies two mechanisms for data exchange: l process data objectsPDOs are transmitted as unconfirmed broadcast messages or sent from a producer device to a consumer device. The TxPDO from the producer device has a specific identifier that corresponds to the RxPDO of the consumer devices. These messages have a maximum of 8 bytes per PDO. They are used for realtime data exchange. A special feature of CANopen is that data contained in synchronous PDOs may either be predefined by the device manufacturer or configured with the application. l service data objectsSDOs are used by the CANopen master to access (read/ write) the object dictionaries of network nodes. In some networks, asynchronous SDOs can be used to alter the identifier allocation with configuration software. CANopen specifies two services for network management: l special function objectsThese protocols provide application-specific network synchronization and emergency message transmission. l network managementNMT protocols provide services for network initialization, error control, and device status control.

Device Type

The device type COB describes the type of device and its functionality. It is composed of a 16-bit field that describes the employed device profile:
Index 1000h Subindex 0 Name/Purpose device type Data Type unsigned32 Attr. ro

A second 16-bit field gives additional information about the devices optional functionality:
Additional Information (MSB) 0000 0000 0000 wxyz Device Profile (DS-401) (LSB) 0401

Note: z = 1 (digital input), y = 1 (digital output), x = 1 (analog input), w = 1 (analog output)

For multiple-device modules, the index of the additional information parameter is FFFFh. The device profile number referenced by object 1000 is that of the first device in the object dictionary. All other devices of a multiple-device module identify their profiles as objects 67FFh + x * 800h (x = internal number of the device, 0 to 7). This object will be dynamically generated at startup, since the device type depends on the actual island configuration. Error Register Devices map any internal errors to the error register byte:
Index 1001h Subindex 0 Name/Purpose error register Data Type unsigned8 Attr. ro

This error register entry is mandatory for all devices. It is part of the emergency object (See CANopen Emergency Messages, p. 96).

The entry at subindex 0 contains the number of actual errors that are recorded in the array starting at subindex 1. Every new error is stored at subindex 1, pushing older errors down the list. Writing 0 to subindex 0 will empty the array, deleting the entire error history. Errors numbers (of type unsigned32) are composed of 16-bit error codes and an additional, manufacturer-specific, 16-bit error information field. The error code is contained in the lower 2 bytes (LSB) and the additional information is included in the upper 2 bytes (MSB):

The vendor ID code (subindex 1) contains the unique value allocated to Schneider Electric. The product code (subindex 2) is a unique number that determines the product within Schneider. The revision number (subindex 3) consists of a major revision number and a minor revision number. The major revision number identifies a specific CANopen behavior. When the CANopen functionality is expanded, the major revision has to be incremented. The minor revision number identifies different versions with the same CANopen behavior.

SDO Services

SDOs are the mechanisms for establishing a client/server relationship between CANopen devices. They are used by the CANopen master to access object dictionaries of network nodes. There are two types of SDOs implemented in CANopen devices: l server SDOEach CANopen device is required to allow access to its own object dictionary through at least one server SDO. l client SDOA client SDO can read from and write to the object dictionary of a server device. Each SDO has two message identifiers that indicate the direction of travel (upload/ download) in SDO transfers: l SDO uploadMessages transmitted from the client to the server are SDO upload messages. l SDO downloadMessages transmitted from the server to the client are SDO download messages. The SDO transfer procedure employs one of three domain protocols, depending on the particular nature and size of the data transfer: l The expedited download/upload domain protocol is implemented for devices that support objects that are not larger than 4 bytes. l The segmented download/upload domain protocol is implemented for devices that support objects larger than 4 bytes. The complete data is transferred in a series of confirmed 4-byte segments. l The optional block data transfer can be implemented when large data blocks are to be transferred in either direction (uploaded or downloaded).

PDO Mapping
CANopen and PDOs Transmitted as broadcast messages, process data objects (PDOs) are unconfirmed messages used for real-time data exchange of short blocks of high-priority data. A special feature of CANopen is that data contained in PDOs may be either predefined by the device manufacturer or configured by the application. Each of the 8 bytes (or fewer) in a PDO is defined through mapping information stored in the object dictionary of its producer and consumer devices. PDO usage is based on CANopens producer/consumer model. A PDOs designation as either transmit or receive is relative to the nature of each device, depending on how the same identifier (signal value) has been mapped by those devices. If a device produces a PDO, the PDO is a transmit PDO (TxPDO) of that device. If a device consumes a PDO, it is a receive PDO (RxPDO) of that device. CANopens predefined connection set allows for peer-to-peer communications between a master device and its nodes without requiring an identifier distribution process:

Note: Sub-index 0 indicates the number of mapped objects that follow in the object list. The STB NCO 2212 CANopen NIM also supports variable (dynamic) mapping. With variable mapping, users can instruct the master to reassign RxPDOs and TxPDOs implemented with the nodes object dictionary entries. In this way, nodes can be configured to use specific CAN identifiers for TxPDOs while listening for specific CAN identifiers with RxPDOs. (You will have to configure the corresponding TxPDOs and RxPDOs for the intended objects in the object dictionary mapping table.)

Summary CANopen uses a node-oriented NMT structure that follows a master/slave model. This structure requires one device on the network to function as the NMT master, with other nodes acting as its slaves. CANopen NMT provides these functionality groups: l module control servicesinitialization of those NMT slaves that will be implemented in the distributed application l error control servicessupervision of nodes and the networks communication status l configuration control servicesuploading/downloading configuration data to or from a module on the network An NMT slave represents that part of a node that is responsible for its NMT functionality.

SYNC Messages
Introduction SYNC messages are broadcast periodically on the network by a synchronization device. Using the SYNC message, devices on the CANopen network can be synchronized to implement coordinated data acquisition mechanisms. Whether an object uses the SYNC event dictates its transmission mode. A PDOs transmission type is dictated by the nature of the event that triggered its transmission. There are two configurable transmission modes for PDOs: l synchronous objectsTransmission time is relative to the SYNC message. l asynchronous objectsTransmission time is relative to the messages defined priority. The CANopen communication profile recognizes three modes of message triggering: l object-specific eventA transmission of this type is triggered according to an event specified in the device profile. l remote request receptionAsynchronous PDO transmission can be triggered upon receipt of a remote request from another device. l SYNC window expirationReception of the SYNC object can trigger synchronous PDO transmission before the expiration of the SYNC window. Synchronous PDOs are transmitted within the SYNC window that follows the SYNC object. The interval between SYNC objects is specified by the communication cycle period parameter. The SYNC object and its associated device functionality are represented by three different entries in the object dictionary: l COB-ID SYNC message (index 1005h) l communication cycle period l SYNC window length The figure below shows the periodic transmission of SYNC messages and synchronous and asynchronous PDOs, relative to the SYNC window:

In general, the synchronous transmission of PDOs guarantees that devices may arrange to sample process variables from a process environment and apply their actuation in a coordinated fashion. A device that consumes SYNC messages will provide synchronous PDO messages. The reception of a SYNC message controls the applications interaction with the process environment according to the contents of a synchronous PDO. The synchronous mechanism is intended to transfer commanded values and actual values on a fixed (timely) base. PDO transmission types are described in the following table.
transmission type 0 1240 241251 252 253 254 255 X reserved Cyclic Acyclic X Synchronous X X X X X X X X Asynchronous RTR Only

Synchronous transmission types (0 to 240 and 252) use PDOs that are transmitted relative to the SYNC object. Preferably, devices using the SYNC object to trigger input or output data transmissions will use it in conjunction with the previous RxPDO or TxPDO. Details of this mechanism depend on the device type and are defined in the device profile. Functions for different transmission types are: l 0A message of this type is transmitted according to the reception of the SYNC message. l 1 to 240These values represent PDOs that are transferred synchronously and cyclically. The transmission type indicates the number of SYNC objects required for triggering PDO transmission or reception. l 252 to 253PDOs of this type are sent by remote transmission request only. At transmission type 252, the data is updated (but not sent) immediately after the reception of the SYNC object. At transmission type 253, the data is updated at the reception of the remote transmission request (hardware and software restrictions may apply). These values are only possible for TxPDOs.

94

890USE17600 September 2003

Fieldbus Communications Support

l 254TxPDOs of this type are associated with manufacturer-specific application

event (listed in the object dictionary as manufacturer-specific objects). The application event (for example, a changed digital input) is defined in the device profile. Cyclic and Acyclic PDOs Synchronous PDOs are either cyclic or acyclic. Cyclic PDOs are transmitted upon the reception of some designated number of SYNC objects. For instance, a cyclic PDO may be transmitted after the reception of every third SYNC object. Acyclic PDOs are transmitted after the reception of every SYNC object, but only when an internal, designated event (like a change of state) has occurred within the device. Unlike synchronous PDOs, an asynchronous PDOs transmission is triggered by events not related to the SYNC object, possibly within the device itself. Asynchronous PDO and SDO messages can be transmitted at any time according to their priority. Therefore, asynchronous messages can be transmitted within the SYNC window. Application events that trigger asynchronous PDO transmissions can be devicespecific, as described in the device profile, or manufacturer-specific, as described in the manufacturers documentation. For the CANopen NIM, the default transmission mode for default PDOs is asynchronous at an event-driven base (transmission type 255) in accordance with DS-401. This means the PDO will be transmitted on the fieldbus if there is any change of value. Value changes are determined by the modules configured transmission type on the island bus.

CANopen Emergency Messages

Introduction Emergency messages are the messages of highest priority on CANopen networks. When a device experiences an internal failure, it transmits an emergency message (available to all network nodes) on the fieldbus. An emergency message is transmitted only once per error event. If no new errors occur on the device, no additional emergency messages are sent. The emergency message is always eight bytes. The format is according to the following table:
COB-ID D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8

Emergency Message Format

0x80 + node ID emergency error code error register

manufacturer-specific error field

The first three bytes of the message indicate the error type. When the error disappears, the NIM will report the disappearance on the fieldbus with error code 0000 in the emergency message. (This is called emergency message recovery.) The remaining errors are shown in the error register (See Error Register, p. 69). Error registers are discussed in more detail in CANopen Error Detection and Confinement (See Error Detection and Confinement for CAN Networks, p. 99). Note: The emergency error code and the error register (See Error Register, p. 69) are defined in CANopen DS-301. The error code is also presented in object 1003 (See Predefined Error Field, p. 70).

Error Detection and Confinement for CAN Networks

Introduction Methodologies that CAN-based networks implement for detecting errors and isolating nodes that produce errors are briefly discussed here. Note: These topics are discussed in greater detail at the CAN in Automation Website (http://www.can-cia.de/).

Error Detection

CAN-based networks use several error detection mechanisms at the bit and message levels. Two error detection mechanisms are implemented at the bit level: l bit monitoringAfter transmitting a message, a CAN node monitors the bit level (in the arbitration field) of the message on the bus. Disagreement between the corresponding bits in the transmitted and monitored messages (because of errors either in the transmitter or on the bus) signals a bit error flag. l bit stuffingAfter the transmission of five consecutive identical bits, the transmitter will add (stuff) a single bit of opposite polarity to the outgoing bit stream. Receiving nodes will remove (unstuff) this extra bit before processing the data. If six identical bits are transmitted consecutively, a stuff error flag is signaled. Three error detection mechanisms are implemented at the message level: l frame checkCAN-based networks must implement predefined bit values in certain fields of transmitted messages. When the CAN controller detects an invalid value in a bit field, a frame form error is signaled. l acknowledgement checkWhen a CAN node receives a message, it returns a dominant bit in the messages ACK slot to the transmitter. Otherwise, the transmitter reads the recessive bit in the ACK slot and determines that the message was not received by the intended node(s). An acknowledgement error is signaled. l cyclic redundancy checkEach CAN message has a 15-bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check) that is calculated by the transmitter according to the messages content. The receiving nodes recalculate the CRC field. Disagreement between the two codes indicates a difference between the transmitted message and the one received. In this case, a CRC error flag is signaled.

890USE17600 September 2003

99

Fieldbus Communications Support

Error Confinement

The first CAN controller on the bus to detect one of the described errors will transmit the appropriate error flag. Owing to their high priority (only the emergency message is higher), error flags disrupt bus traffic. Other nodes detect the flag (or the original error) and discard the message. CANs error confinement mechanism distinguishes between temporary errors and permanent failures. The CAN controller on each node has two dedicated error count registers. Receive errors are accumulated in the receive error counter and are given a value of 1. Transmit errors are accumulated in the transmit error counter and are given a value of 8. Error-free messages decrement the appropriate (receive or transmit) error registers. The values in the registers dictate the error confinement states of network nodes. CAN networks define three states in the fault confinement state machine: l error active stateAn error active node (one operating normally) will transmit error active flags when it detects errors on the bus so that all nodes can abort the offending message. In this state, the error active node assumes it is not the source of the errors. l error passive stateIf either error count register exceeds 127, the node enters the error passive state. An error passive node transmits error passive flags when it detects errors. These nodes can transmit and receive information, but they may not be able to flag the errors they detect on the fieldbus. Successful operations will decrement the appropriate error registers, eventually returning the node to the error active state. l bus-off stateIf a nodes transmit error counter exceeds 255, the node assumes it is faulty and enters the bus-off state. In this way, a repeatedly (or permanently) faulty device will not be active on the bus until the user addresses the issue. Communications between other nodes on the fieldbus will continue as normal.

The sample I/O system implements a variety of analog and digital modules. Note: The example uses a Telemecanique Premium PLC master device (with a TSX CPP 100 CANopen master card), but the basic configuration of the NIM and the island I/O is master-independent when using the SyCon configuration software.

Data and Status Objects of Advantys STB I/O Modules

Introduction When configuring PDOs, the size of the data objects and status objects must be known. The status data of the digital I/O and analog I/O is mapped by default to object 6000 (See Device-Specific Objects, p. 83) as digital input data. Therefore, there must already be enough blocks selected in the PDO for this purpose. Care must also be taken to determine the manner in which the PLC will view the data and status objects to facilitate the proper addressing for application use. Note: The discussion in this topic makes reference to the island assembly (See Sample Island Assembly, p. 104) described elsewhere.

Data Objects

Data object sizes for Advantys STB island modules are shown in the following table:
Type of I/O module digital inputs (see 1) Input direction (from island) data = < 1 byte (obj. 6000) Output direction (from PLC)

status = < 1 byte (obj. 6000) (see 2) digital outputs (see 1) echo output data = < 1 byte (obj. 6000) data = < 1 byte (object 6200)

status = < 1 byte (obj. 6000) (see 2) analog inputs, channel 1 (see 3) analog inputs, channel 2 (see 3) analog outputs, channel 1 (see 3) analog outputs, channel 2 (see 3) data 2 byte (obj. 6401) status 1 byte (obj. 6000) (see 4) data 2 byte (obj. 6401) status 1 byte (obj. 6000) (see 4) status 1 byte (obj. 6000) (see 4) status 1 byte (obj. 6000) (see 4) data 2 byte (object 6411) data 2 byte (object 6411)

1. Data sizes are based on modules with 8 (or fewer) channels. 2. Not available for every module. Check The Advantys Hardware Components Reference Guide (890 USE 172 00) for relevant modules. 3. Data sizes are based on 16-bit resolution. 4. Because this object is mapped by default, you must account for the size of the status data when you initially configure the digital input PDOs in object 6000 (See Device-Specific Objects, p. 83).

Application Examples

Bit-packing Rules

Bit-packing allows bits associated with the objects for each I/O module to be combined in the same byte whenever possible. The following rules apply: l Bit-packing follows the addressing order of the island bus I/O modules, from left to right starting with the primary segment. l The data object (or echo output data object) for a specific module precedes the status object for that module. l Status objects and data objects for the same or different I/O module may be packed in the same byte, if the size of the combined objects is eight bits or less. l If the combination of objects requires more than eight bits, the objects will be placed in separate contiguous bytes. A single object can not be split over two byte boundaries. l For analog input modules, channel 1 data is followed immediately by channel 1 status, then channel 2 data and channel 2 status. The table below shows the data for the sample island (See Sample Island Assembly, p. 104) as it will appear in the input and output words of the PLC (in this case, the Telemecanique Premium). The table shows how digital data is bit-packed for optimization, and how data, status, and echo output data (from outputs) appear in the PLC as the same data type (digital input data). The following tables assume the implementation of: l default island bus mapping (no influence from the Advantys configuration software) l default CANopen fieldbus mapping (with SyCon) l default auto-addressing of Premium and SyCon Also, N refers to the island node number in the tables. That is, N1 represents the first addressable (See About the Island Bus Address, p. 46) node (module) on the sample island (See Sample Island Assembly, p. 104) bus, N2 the second, and so forth.

Defining Digital Input PDOs

As part of this application example, you will define and map digital input PDOs first. The sample island assembly (See Sample Island Assembly, p. 104) uses three digital input modules, one with two channels, one with four channels, and one with six channels. You must account for 12 bits of input channel data. The remainder of the configurations 2 bytes of digital input data is allocated for status and feedback data (See Data and Status Objects of Advantys STB I/O Modules, p. 106) from all modules.

The newly named object will appear in the In the Node Configuration window (See The Node Configuration Window, p. 115), Configured PDOs window. click on Define new Transmit PDO. At the prompt, provide a name for this PDO. (Call it digital_inputs1 for this example.) Double-click on the new object in the Configured PDOs window. Double-click anywhere in the row for the first object. Double-click anywhere in the row for the first object. Click OK to map the inputs. The PDO Contents Mapping window appears. The object (at index 6000, subindex 1) will appear in the Mapped Object dictionary window. Repeat the above step for all subindexes, 2 through 8, in the Mapped Object dictionary window. You have now mapped 8 bytes of digital input to account for the first 8-byte PDO of possible digital input data. Your total 2-byte digital input data requires two 8-byte PDOs.

Defining Transmission Types

You need to define a transmission type (operating mode) for each PDO in your configuration. There are several transmission types and triggering modes available in the PDO Characteristics window. For digital inputs and outputs we will use the default types for this example. View the default types by selecting a PDO from the list of configured PDOs and clicking on the PDO Characteristics tab. Synchronous PDOs are those in which the transmission is related to the SYNC message that the master sends cyclically. An asynchronous PDO is one in which transmission is not related to the SYNC message; transmission is dictated by the messages priority. The values listed as Resulting CANopen-specific transmission types (in the PDO Characteristics window) are: l 0This message will be transmitted synchronously, with respect to the SYNC message. l 1 to 240A PDO of this type is transmitted synchronously and cyclically. The value indicates the number of SYNC messages between two transmissions of the PDO. l 252 to 253A PDO of this type is associated with an event with no immediate notification. This PDO is only transmitted upon the reception of a remote transmission request. l 252This data is updated immediately after the reception of the SYNC message, but it is not sent. l 253PDO data is updated upon the reception of a remote transmission request. l 254The PDO is associated with a manufacturer-specific application event. These values are automatically assigned when selecting the appropriate transmission and trigger modes. To view these parameters, select a PDO from the list of configured PDOs and click on the PDO Characteristics tab to view the objects transmission and triggering modes.

STB NCO 2212 Configurable Parameters

Functional Characteristics This topic discusses the configuration of CANopen NIM parameters using the Advantys configuration software. The following operating parameters are user configurable: l data size (in words) of PLC output data transmitted to the HMI panel and HMI input data sent to the PLC l maximum node ID for the last CANopen device To get general information about the NIM module (model name, version number, vendor code, etc.):
Step Action 1 2 3 Open your configuration with the Advantys configuration software. Double-click on the NIM in the configuration workspace. Select the General tab. Comment The NIM is the leftmost module in your island assembly. The module editor window appears. The General tab gives general information about the NIM.

Advanced Configuration Features

Reserved Sizes (HMI to PLC)

The network interprets data from the HMI as input and reads it from the input data table in the process image. This table is shared with data from all input modules on the island bus. When the reserved size (HMI to PLC) value is selected, the range of available data sizes (in words) appears in the window (see the above figure). The maximum size includes both the input data produced by the island modules and the HMI to PLC data. Therefore, space that you reserve for the HMI to PLC dataplus the input data from the island bus modulesmust not exceed the maximum value shown. For example, if your input modules produce eight words of input data, you can reserve only the remaining 112 words (out of 120 maximum) of the input data table for the HMI to PLC data. The network transmits data to the HMI as output by writing it to the output data table in the process image. This table is shared with data for all output modules on the island bus. When the reserved size (PLC to HMI) value is selected, the range of available data sizes (in words) appears in the window (see the above figure). The maximum size includes both the data sent to the island modules and the PLC to HMI data. Therefore, space that you reserve for PLC to HMI dataplus the output data for the island bus modulesmust not exceed the maximum value. For example, if your output modules consume three words of output data, you can reserve only the remaining 117 words (out of 120 maximum) of the output data table for the PLC to HMI data.

Reserving Data Sizes

To transfer data to the PLC from a Modbus HMI you must reserve sizes for that data. To reserve these data sizes:

The value you enter plus the data size of your island can not exceed the maximum value. If you accept the default (0), no space will be reserved in the HMI table in the process image.

5 Repeat the above steps to select a Value for the Reserved Size (Words) of PLC to HMI table row. 6 Press OK when you have entered the desired data sizes.

CANopen Device Node IDs

On the Parameters tab, you can set the maximum node ID of the last module on the island bus. Standard CANopen devices follow the last segment of STB I/O modules. CANopen modules are addressed by counting backwards from the value you enter here. The ideal node ID sequence is sequential. For example, if you have an island with five STB I/O modules and three CANopen devices, a maximum node ID of at least 8 (5 + 3) is required. This will result in node IDs of 1 through 5 for STB I/O modules and 6 through 8 for standard CANopen devices. Using the default ID of 32 (the maximum number of modules the island can support) will result in node IDs of 1 through 5 for STB I/O modules and 30 through 32 for standard CANopen devices. Those unnecessarily high addresses are not desirable if any of your standard CANopen devices have a limited address range.

Configuring Mandatory Modules

Summary As part of a custom configuration, you can assign mandatory status to any I/O module or preferred device on an island. The mandatory designation indicates that you consider the module or device critical to your application. If the NIM does not detect a healthy mandatory module at its assigned address during normal operations, the NIM stops the entire island. Note: The Advantys configuration software is required to designate an I/O module or a preferred device as a mandatory module.

Specifying Mandatory Modules

By default, the Advantys STB I/O modules are in a non-mandatory (standard) state. Mandatory status is enabled by clicking on the mandatory checkbox on a module or preferred devices parameters property sheet. Depending on your application, any number of modules that your island will support can be designated as mandatory modules. The following table describes the conditions under which mandatory modules affect island bus operations and the NIMs response:
Condition A mandatory module fails during normal island bus operations. Response The NIM stops the island bus. The island enters fallback mode (See Island Fallback Scenarios, p. 136). I/O modules and preferred devices assume their fallback values. The NIM stops the island bus. The island enters fallback mode. I/O modules and preferred devices assume their fallback values. When power is restored, the NIM attempts to address the island modules but must stop at the empty slot where the standard module used to reside. Because the NIM is now unable to address the mandatory module, it generates a mandatory mismatch error and the island fails to restart.

Effects on Island Bus Operations

You attempt to hot swap a mandatory module. You are hot swapping a standard I/O module that resides to the left of a mandatory module on the island bus, and the island loses power.

Recovering from a Mandatory Stop

Pushing the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) while recovering from a mandatory stop will load the islands default configuration data. WARNING UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/LOSS OF CONFIGURATIONRST BUTTON WHILE RECOVERING FROM MANDATORY STOP Pushing the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory-default operating parameters, which do not support mandatory I/O status. l Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. l If a module is unhealthy, replace it with the same module type. Failure to follow this precaution can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. If the NIM has stopped island bus operations because it cannot detect a healthy mandatory module, you can recover island bus operations by installing a healthy module of the same type. The NIM automatically configures the replacement module to match the removed module. Assuming that other modules and devices on the island bus are correctly configured and conform to their configuration data as written to Flash memory, the NIM will start/restart normal island bus operations.

Prioritizing a Module
Summary Using the Advantys configuration software, you can assign priority to digital input modules in your island assembly. Prioritization is a method of fine tuning the NIMs I/O scan of the island bus. The NIM will scan modules with priority more frequently than other island modules. You can prioritize digital input modules only. You cannot prioritize digital output modules or analog modules of any kind. You can prioritize only 10 digital input modules for a given island.

What Is a Reflex Action?

Summary Reflex actions are small routines that perform dedicated logical functions directly on the Advantys island bus. They allow output modules on the island to act on data and drive field actuators directly, without requiring the intervention of the fieldbus master. A typical reflex action comprises one or two function blocks that perform: l Boolean AND or exclusive-OR operations l comparisons of an analog input value to user-specified threshold values l up- or down-counter operations l timer operations l the triggering of a latch to hold a digital value high or low l the triggering of a latch to hold an analog value at a specific value The island bus optimizes reflex response time by assigning the highest transmission priority to its reflex actions. Reflex actions take some of the processing workload off the fieldbus master, and they offer a faster, more efficient use of system bandwidth. Reflex actions are designed to control outputs independently of the fieldbus master controller. They may continue to turn outputs on and off even when power is removed from the fieldbus master. Use prudent design practices when you use reflex actions in your application. WARNING UNEXPECTED OUTPUT OPERATION. For outputs that are configured to respond to reflex actions, the output state represented in the islands network interface module (NIM) may not represent the actual states of the outputs. l Turn off field power before you service any equipment connected to the island. l For digital outputs, view the echo register for the module in the process image to see the actual output state. l For analog outputs, there is no echo register in the process image. To view an actual analog output value, connect the analog output channel to an analog input channel. Failure to follow this precaution can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

How Reflex Actions Behave

Advanced Configuration Features

Configuring a Reflex Action

Each block in a reflex action must be configured using the Advantys configuration software. Each block must be assigned a set of inputs and a result. Some blocks also require that you specify one or more user-preset valuesa compare block, for example, requires that you preset threshold values and a delta value for hysteresis. The inputs to a reflex block include an enable input and one or more operational inputs.The inputs may be constants or they may come from other I/O modules on the island, from virtual modules or outputs from another reflex block. For example, an XOR block requires three inputsthe enable and two digital inputs that contain the Boolean values to be XORed:
enable operational input 1 operational input 2 XOR result

Inputs to a Reflex Action

Some blocks, such as the timers, require reset and/or trigger inputs to control the reflex action. The following example shows a timer block with three inputs:
enable trigger reset timer time unit x terminal count result

The trigger input starts the timer at 0 and accumulates time units of 1, 10, 100 or 1000 ms for a specified number of counts. The reset input causes the timer accumulator to be reset. An input to a block may be a Boolean value, a word value, or a constant, depending on the type of reflex action it is performing. The enable input is either a Boolean or a constant always enabled value. The operational input to an block such as a digital latch must always be a Boolean, whereas the operational input to an analog latch must always be a 16-bit word. You will need to configure a source for the blocks input values. An input value may come from an I/O module on the island or from the fieldbus master via a virtual module in the NIM. Note: All inputs to a reflex block are sent on a change-of-state basis. After a change-of-state event has occurred, the system imposes a 10 ms delay before it accepts another change of state (input update). This feature is provided to minimize jitter in the system.

Result of a Reflex Block

Depending on the type of reflex block that you use, it will output either a Boolean or a word as its result. Generally, the result is mapped to an action module, as shown in the following table:
Reflex Action Boolean logic integer compare counter timer digital latch analog latch Result Boolean value Boolean value 16-bit word Boolean value Boolean value 16-bit word Action Module Type digital output digital output first block in a nested reflex action digital output digital output analog output

The result from a block is usually mapped to an individual channel on an output module. Depending on the type of result that the block produces, this action module may be an analog channel or a digital channel. When the result is mapped to a digital or analog output channel, that channel becomes dedicated to the reflex action and can no longer use data from the fieldbus master to update its field device. The exception is when a reflex block is the first of two actions in a nested reflex action.

890USE17600 September 2003

133

Advanced Configuration Features

Nesting

The Advantys configuration software allows you to create nested reflex actions. One level of nesting is supportedi.e., two reflex blocks, where the result of the first block is an operational input to the second block. When you nest a pair of blocks, you need to map the results of both to the same action module. Choose the action module type that is appropriate for the result of the second block. This may mean that in some cases you will need to choose an action module for the first result that does not seem to be appropriate according to the table above. For example, say you want to combine a counter block and a compare block in a nested reflex action. You want the result of the counter to be the operational input to the compare block. The compare block will then produce a Boolean as its result:
first nested action enable operational input counter preset counter direction reset second nested action enable operational input (result 1) less than threshold compare threshold +/- result 2 action module: STB DDO 3410 channel: 4 result 1 action module: STB DDO 3410 channel: none falling-edge counter

Result 2 (from the compare block) is the result that the nested reflex action will send to an actual output. Because the result of a compare block needs to be mapped to a digital action module, result 2 is mapped to channel 4 on an STB DDO 3410 digital output module. Result 1 is used only inside the moduleit provides the 16-bit operational input to the compare block. It is mapped to the same STB DDO 3410 digital output module that is the action module for the compare block. Instead of specifying a physical channel on the action module for result 1, the channel is set to none. In effect, you are sending result 1 to an internal reflex buffer where it is stored temporarily until it is used as the operational input to the second block. You are not really sending an analog value to a digital output channel.

Advanced Configuration Features

Number of Reflex Blocks on an Island

An island can support up to 10 reflex blocks. A nested reflex action consumes two blocks. An individual output module can support up to two reflex blocks. Supporting more than one block requires that you manage your processing resources efficiently. If you are not careful with your resources, you may be able to support only one block on an action module. Processing resources are consumed quickly when a reflex block receives its inputs from multiple sources (different I/O modules on the island and/or virtual modules in the NIM). The best way to preserve processing resources is to: l use the always enabled constant as the enable input whenever possible l use the same module to send multiple inputs to a block whenever possible

Advanced Configuration Features

Island Fallback Scenarios

Introduction In the event of a communications failure on the island or between the island and the fieldbus, output data is put into a safe fallback state. In this state, output data is replaced with pre-configured fallback values, ensuring that a modules output data values are known when the system recovers from a communications failure. There are several scenarios in which Advantys STB output modules go into their fallback states: l loss of fieldbus communicationsCommunications with the PLC are lost. l loss of island bus communicationsThere is an internal island bus communications error, indicated by a missing heartbeat message from either the NIM or a module. l change of operating stateThe NIM may command the island I/O modules to switch from a running to a non-running (stopped or reset) state. l missing or failed mandatory module (See Configuring Mandatory Modules, p. 128)The NIM detects the absence or failure of a mandatory island module. Note: If a mandatory (or any other) module fails, it needs to be replaced. The module itself does not go into its fallback state. In all of these fallback scenarios, the NIM disables the heartbeat message. Heartbeat Message The Advantys STB system relies on a heartbeat message to ensure the integrity and continuity of communications between the NIM and the island modules. The health of island modules and the overall integrity of the Advantys STB system are monitored through the transmission and reception of these periodic island bus messages. Because island I/O modules are configured to monitor the NIMs heartbeat message, output modules will go into their fallback states if they do not receive a heartbeat message from the NIM within the defined interval.

Fallback Scenarios

Advanced Configuration Features

Fallback States for Reflex Functions

Only an output module channel to which the result of a reflex action (See What Is a Reflex Action?, p. 131) has been mapped can operate in the absence of the NIMs heartbeat message. When modules that provide input for reflex functionality fail or are removed from the island, the channels that hold the result of those reflex actions go into their fallback states. In most cases, an output module that has one of its channels dedicated to a reflex action will go to its configured fallback state if the module loses communication with the fieldbus master. The only exception is a two-channel digital output module that has both of its channels dedicated to reflex actions. In this case, the module may continue to solve logic after a loss of fieldbus communication. For more information about reflex actions, refer to the Reflex Actions Reference Guide (890 USE 183). To define a customized fallback strategy for individual modules, you are required to use the Advantys configuration software. Configuration is done channel by channel. You can configure a single modules multiple channels with different fallback parameters. Configured fallback parametersimplemented only during a communications failureare part of the configuration file stored in the NIMs nonvolatile Flash memory. You can select either of two fallback modes when configuring output channels with the Advantys configuration software: l hold last valueIn this mode, outputs retain the last values they were assigned before the failure. l predefined valueIn this (default) mode, you can select either of two fallback values: l 0 (default) l some value in acceptable range The permissible values for fallback parameters in the predefined value mode for discrete and analog modules and reflex functions appear in the following table:

Saving Configuration Data

Introduction The Advantys configuration software allows you to save configuration data created or modified with this software to the NIMs Flash memory and/or to the removable memory card (See Physical Description, p. 50). Subsequently, this data can be read from Flash memory and used to configure your physical island. Note: If your configuration data is too large, you will receive a warning message when you attempt to save it.

How to Save a Configuration

The following procedure describes the general steps to use to save a configuration data file to either Flash memory directly or to a removable memory card. For more detailed procedural information, use the configuration softwares online help feature:
Step 1 2 Action Connect the device running the Advantys configuration software to the CFG port (See The CFG Interface, p. 35) on the NIM, and launch the software. Download the configuration data that you want to save from the configuration software to the NIM. Then, use one of the following commands from the configuration softwares Online menu: l To save to the NIMs Flash memory, use the store to Flash command. l To save to a removable memory card, first install the card (See Installing the Card, p. 51) in the host NIM, then use the store to removable memory card command.

Protecting Configuration Data

Introduction As part of a custom configuration, you can password-protect an Advantys STB island. This protection restricts write privileges to authorized personnel and prevents unauthorized users from overwriting the configuration data currently stored in Flash memory. You must use the Advantys configuration software to password-protect an islands configuration. If a configuration is protected, access to it is restricted in the following ways: l An unauthorized user is unable to overwrite the current configuration data in Flash memory. l The presence of a removable memory card (See Installing the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card, p. 50) is ignored. The configuration data currently stored in Flash cannot be overwritten by data on the card. l The RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) is disabled, and pushing it has no effect on island bus operations. The island runs normally when it is in protected mode. All users have the ability to monitor (read) the activity on the island bus. A password must meet the following criteria: l It must be between 0 and 6 characters in length. l Only alphanumeric ASCII characters are permitted. l The password is case-sensitive. If password protection is enabled, your password is saved to Flash memory (or to a removable memory card) when you save the configuration data. Note: A protected configuration is inaccessible to anyone who does not know the password. Your system administrator is responsible for keeping track of the password and the list of authorized users. If the assigned password is lost or forgotten, you will be unable to change the islands configuration. If the password is lost and you need to reconfigure the island, you will need to perform a destructive reflash of the NIM. This procedure is described on the Advantys STB product Web site at www.schneiderautomation.com.

A Modbus View of the Islands Data Image

Summary A block of Modbus registers is reserved in the NIM to hold and maintain the islands data image. Overall, the data image holds 9999 registers. The registers are divided into nine contiguous groups (or blocks), each dedicated to a specific purpose. Registers are16-bit constructs. The most significant bit (MSB) is bit 15, which is displayed as the leftmost bit in the register. The least significant bit (LSB) is bit 0, displayed as the rightmost bit in the register:
MSB 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 LSB 0

Modbus Registers and Their Bit Structure

The bits can be used to display operating data or device/system status. Each register has a unique reference number, starting at 40001. The content of each register, represented by its 0/1 bit pattern, may be dynamic, but the register reference and its assignment in the control logic program remain constant.

Each block has a fixed number of registers reserved for its use. Whether or not all the registers reserved for that block are used in an application, the number of registers allocated to that block remains constant. This permits you to know at all times where to begin looking for the type of data of interest to you. For example, to monitor the status of the I/O modules in the process image, look at the data in block 8 beginning at register 45392.

Reading Register Data

All the registers in the data image can be read by an HMI panel connected to the island at the NIMs CFG port (See The CFG Interface, p. 35). The Advantys configuration software reads all this data, and displays blocks 1, 2, 8 and 9 in the Modbus Image screen in its I/O Image Overview. Some registers, usually some configured number of registers in block 9 (registers 49488 through 49999) of the data image, may be written to by an HMI panel (See HMI Panel Configuration, p. 161). The Advantys configuration software may also be used to write data to the registers in block 1 (registers 40001 through 44096). The configuration software must be the island bus master in order for it to write to the data imagei.e., the island must be in test mode.

The Islands Process Image Blocks

Summary Two blocks of registers in the islands data image (See The Data Image, p. 141) are the focus for this discussion. The first block is the output data process image, which starts at register 40001 and goes to register 44096. The other block is the input data and I/O status process image, which also consumes 4096 registers (45392 through 49487). The registers in each block are used to report island bus device status and to dynamically exchange input or output data between the fieldbus master and the islands I/O modules. The output data block (registers 40001 through 44096) handles the output data process image. This process image is a Modbus representation of the control data that has just been written from the fieldbus master to the NIM. Only data for the islands output modules is written to this block. Output data is organized in 16-bit register format. One or more registers are dedicated to the data for each output module on the island bus. For example, say you are using a two-channel digital output module as the first output module on your island bus. Output 1 is on and output 2 is off. This information would be reported in the first register in the output data process image, and it would look like this:
register 40001

1 0 always 0

where: l Normally, a value of 1 in bit 0 indicates that output 1 is on. l Normally, a value of 0 in bit 1 indicates that output 2 is off. l The remaining bits in the register are not used. Some output modules, such as the one in the example above, utilize a single data register. Others may require multiple registers. An analog output module, for example, would use separate registers to represent the values for each channel, and might use the 11 or 12 most significant bits to display analog values in IEC format. Registers are allocated to output modules in the output data block according to their addresses on the island bus. Register 40001 always contains the data for the first output module on the islandthe output module closest to the NIM.

Advanced Configuration Features

Note: The requirements of each output module in the Advantys STB family are described in the Advantys STB Hardware Components Reference Guide (890 USE 172). A detailed view of how the registers are implemented in the output data block is shown in the process image example. Output Data Read/Write Capabilities The registers in the output data process image are read/write-capable. You can read (i.e., monitor) the process image using an HMI panel or the Advantys configuration software. The data content that you see when you monitor the output data image registers is updated in near-real time. The islands fieldbus master also writes updated control data to the output data process image. The input data and I/O status block (registers 45392 through 49487) handles the input data and I/O status process image. Every I/O module on the island bus has information that needs to be stored in this block. l Each digital input module reports data (the on/off status of its input channels) in one register of input data and I/O status block, then reports its status (e.g., the presence or absence of errors) in the next register. l Each analog input module uses four registers in the input data and I/O status block. It represents the analog data for each channel in separate registers and the status of each channel in separate registers. Analog data is usually represented with 11- or 12-bit resolution in the IEC format; status in an analog input channel is usually represented by a series of status bits that report the presence or absence of an out-of-range value in a channel. l Each digital output module reports an echo of its output data to a register in the input data and I/O status block. Echo output data registers are essentially copies of the register values that appear in the output data process image. This data is usually not of much interest, but it can be useful in the event that a digital output channel has been configured for a reflex action. In this case, the fieldbus master can see the bit value in the echo output data register even though the output channel is being updated inside the island bus. l Each analog output module uses two registers in the input data and I/O status block to report status. Status in an analog output channel is usually represented by a series of status bits that report the presence or absence of an out-of-range value in a channel. Analog output modules do not report data in this block. A detailed view of how the registers in the input data and I/O status block are implemented is shown in the process image example.

Predefined Diagnostics Registers in the Data Image

Summary Thirty-five contiguous registers (45357 through 45391) in the island bus data image (See The Data Image, p. 141) are provided for reporting diagnostic information. These registers have predefined meanings that are described below. The numerical values associated with each message can be accessed and monitored with an HMI panel. The messages themselves appear in the log window and in other displays in the Advantys configuration software. Register 45357 describes the state of communications across the island bus. The low byte (bits 7 through 0) displays one of 15 possible eight-bit patterns that indicates the current state of communication. Each bit in the high byte (bits 15 through 8) is used to signal the presence or absence of a specific error condition:

The Output Data Process Image

Lets look first at the register allocation required to support the output data process image (See Output Data Process Image, p. 143). This is the data written to the island from the fieldbus master to update the output modules on the island bus. The four output modules are affectedthe three digital output modules at addresses 2, 4, and 6 and the one analog output module at address 8. The three digital output modules utilize one Modbus register apiece for data. The analog output module requires two registers, one for each output channel. A total of five registers (registers 40001 through 40005) are used for this configuration:

The digital modules use the LSBs to hold and display their output data. The analog module uses the MSBs to hold and display its output data.

The Input Data and I/O Status Process Image

Now lets look at the register allocation required to support the input data and I/O status process image (See Input Data and I/O Status Process Image, p. 144). This is the information that the NIM collects from the island modules so that it can be read by the fieldbus master or by some other monitoring device. All eight I/O modules are represented in this process image block. The modules are assigned registers in the order of their island bus addresses, starting at register 45392. Each digital I/O module uses two contiguous registers: l Digital input modules use one register to report data and the next to report status. l Digital output modules use one register to echo output data and the next to report status. Note: The value in an echo output data register is basically a copy of the value written to the corresponding register in the output data process image. Generally, this is the value written to the NIM by the fieldbus master, and its echo is of not much interest. When an output channel is configured to perform a reflex action (See What Is a Reflex Action?, p. 131), however, the echo register provides a location where the fieldbus master can look to see the current value of the output. The analog input module uses four contiguous registers: the first register to report the data for channel 1 the second register to report status for channel 1 the third register to report the data for channel 2 the fourth register to report status for channel 2 The analog output module uses two contiguous registers: l the first register to report status for channel 1 l the second register to report status for channel 2

The HMI Blocks in the Island Data Image

Summary An HMI panel that communicates using the Modbus protocol can be connected to the CFG port (See The CFG Interface, p. 35) on the NIM. Using the Advantys configuration software, you can reserve one or two blocks of registers in the data image (See A Modbus View of the Islands Data Image, p. 140) to support HMI data exchange. When an HMI panel writes to one of these blocks, that data is accessible to the fieldbus master (as inputs). Data written by the fieldbus master (as outputs) is stored in a different reserved block of registers that the HMI panel can read. Advantys STB supports the ability of an HMI panel to act as: l an input device, which writes data to the islands data image that is read by the fieldbus master l an output device, which can read data written by the fieldbus master to the islands data image l a combined I/O device Input data to the fieldbus master can be generated by the HMI panel. Input controls on an HMI panel might be elements such as: l push buttons l switches l a data entry keypad To use an HMI panel as an input device on the island, you need to enable the HMIto-fieldbus master block in the islands data image (See The Data Image, p. 141) and specify the number of registers in this block that you want to use for HMI-tofieldbus master data transfers. You must use the Advantys configuration software to make these configuration adjustments. The HMI-to-fieldbus master block can comprise up to 512 registers, ranging from register 49488 to 49999. (Your actual register limit will be dictated by your fieldbus.) This block follows immediately after the standard input data and I/O status process image (See Input Data and I/O Status Process Image, p. 144) block (registers 45392 through 49487) in the islands data image. The HMI panel writes the input data to a specified number of registers in the HMIto-fieldbus master block. The NIM manages the transfer of the HMI data in these registers as part of the overall input data transferit converts the 16-bit register data to a fieldbus-specific data format and transfers it together with the standard input data and I/O status process image to the fieldbus. The fieldbus master sees and responds to HMI data as if it were standard input data.

HMI Output Data Exchange

In turn, output data written by the fieldbus master can be used to update enunciator elements on the HMI panel. Enunciator elements might be: l display indicators l buttons or screen images that change color or shape l data display screens (for example, temperature read-outs) To use the HMI panel as an output device, you need to enable the fieldbus-to-HMI block in the islands data image (See The Data Image, p. 141) and specify the number of registers in this block that you want to use. You need to use the Advantys configuration software to make these adjustments to your configuration. The fieldbus master-to-HMI block can comprise up to 512 registers, ranging from register 44097 to 44608. This block follows immediately after the standard output data process image (See Output Data Process Image, p. 143) block (registers 40001 through 44096) in the islands data image. The fieldbus master writes output update data in native fieldbus format to the HMI data block concurrent with writing this data to the output data process image area. The output data is placed in the fieldbus master-to-HMI block. Upon request by the HMI via a Modbus read command, the role of the NIM is to receive this output data, convert it to16-bit Modbus format, and send it over the Modbus connection at the CFG port to the HMI panel. Note: The read command enables all Modbus registers to be read, not just those in the block reserved for fieldbus master-to-HMI data exchange.
