TeleBUS DF1 Protocol Overview

TeleBUS communication protocols provide a standard communication interface to the controller. The protocols operate on a wide variety of serial data links. These include RS-232 serial ports, RS-485 serial ports, radios, leased line modems, and dial up modems. The protocols are generally independent of the communication parameters of the link, with a few exceptions.

TeleBUS protocol commands may be directed to a specific device, identified by its station number, or broadcast to all devices. Up to 255 devices may connect to one communication network.

The TeleBUS protocols provide full access to the I/O database in the controller. The I/O database contains user-assigned registers and general purpose registers. Assigned registers map directly to the I/O hardware or system parameter in the controller. General purpose registers can be used by ladder logic and C application programs to store processed information, and to receive information from a remote device.

Application programs can initiate communication with remote devices. A multiple port controller can be a data concentrator for remote devices, by polling remote devices on one port and responding as a slave on another port.

The protocol type, communication parameters and station address are configured separately for each serial port on a controller. One controller can appear as different stations on different communication networks. The port configuration can be set from an application program, from the TelePACE programming software, or from another Modbus or DF1 compatible device.

Compatibility

There are four TeleBUS DF1 protocols:

• The TeleBUS DF1 Full-Duplex BCC protocol is compatible with the DF1 Full-Duplex data link layer protocol with block check character (BCC) error checking.

• The TeleBUS DF1 Full-Duplex CRC protocol is compatible with the DF1 Full-Duplex data link layer protocol with 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC-16) error checking.

• The TeleBUS DF1 Half-Duplex BCC protocol is compatible with the DF1 Half-Duplex data link layer protocol with block check character (BCC) error checking.

• The TeleBUS DF1 Half-Duplex CRC protocol is compatible with the DF1 Half-Duplex data link layer protocol with 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC-16) error checking.

Compatibility refers to communication only. The protocol defines communication aspects such as commands, syntax, message framing, error handling and addressing. The controllers do not mimic the internal functioning of any programmable controller. Device specific functions – those that relate to the hardware or programming of a specific programmable controller – are not implemented.

TeleBUS DF1 Protocol User and Reference Manual 4

Serial Port Configuration

Communication Parameters

The TeleBUS DF1 protocols are, in general, independent of the serial communication parameters. The baud rate and parity may be chosen to suit the host computer and the characteristics of the data link.

The port configuration can be set in four ways:

• using the TelePACE program;

• using the set_port function from a C application program;

• writing to the I/O database from a C or ladder logic application program; or

• writing to the I/O database remotely from a Modbus or DF1 compatible device.

To configure a serial port through the I/O database, add the module, CNFG Serial port settings, to the Register Assignment.

Protocol Parameters

The TeleBUS DF1 protocols are eight bit character-oriented protocols. The table below shows possible and recommended communication parameters.

TeleBUS DF1 Protocol User and Reference Manual 6

Protocol Parameters

The TeleBUS DF1 protocols operate independently on each serial port. Each port may set the protocol type, station number, protocol task priority and store-and-forward messaging options.

The protocol configuration can be set in four ways:

• using the TelePACE or ISaGRAF programs;

• using the set_protocol function from a C application program;

• writing to the I/O database from a C or ladder logic application program; or

• writing to the I/O database remotely from a Modbus or DF1 compatible device.

To configure protocol settings through the I/O database, add the module, CNFG Protocol settings, to the Register Assignment.

Protocol Type

The protocol type may be set to emulate the DF1 or Modbus protocols, or it may be disabled. When the protocol is disabled, the port functions as a normal serial port.

Station Number

The TeleBUS DF1 protocols allow up to 255 devices on a network. Station numbers identify each device. A device responds to commands addressed to it, or to commands broadcast to all stations.

The station number is in the range 0 to 254. Address 255 indicates a command broadcast to all stations, and cannot be used as a station number. Each serial port may have a unique station number.

Task Priority

A task is responsible for monitoring each serial port for messages. The real time operating system (RTOS) schedules the tasks with the application program tasks according to the task priority. The priority can be changed only with the set_protocol function from a C application program.

The default task priority is 3. Changing the priority is not recommended.

Store and Forward Messaging

Store and forward messaging is not supported by the TeleBUS DF1 protocols.

Default Parameters

All ports are configured at reset with default parameters when the controller is started in

SERVICE mode. The ports use user-defined parameters when the controller is reset in the

RUN mode. The default parameters are listed below.

To optimize performance, minimize the length of messages on com3 and com4. Examples of recommended uses for com3 and com4 are for local operator display terminals, and for programming and diagnostics using the TelePACE program.

TeleBUS DF1 Protocol User and Reference Manual 8

I/O Database

The TeleBUS protocols read and write information from the I/O database. The I/O database is an area of memory that can be accessed by C programs, Ladder Logic programs,

ISaGRAF programs and communication protocols. The I/O database allows data to be shared between these programs. The I/O database contains user-assigned registers and general purpose registers.

User-assigned registers map directly to the I/O hardware or system parameter in the controller. Assigned registers are initialized to the default hardware state or system parameter when the controller is reset. Assigned output registers do not maintain their values during power failures. However, output registers do retain their values during application program loading.

General purpose registers are used by ladder logic, ISaGRAF and C application programs to store processed information, and to receive information from remote devices. General purpose registers retain their values during power failures and application program loading.

The values change only when written by an application program or a communication protocol.

Coil and Status Registers

Coil and status registers contain one bit of information, that is whether a signal is off or on.

For TelePACE firmware coil registers are single bits which the protocols can read and write.

There are 4096 coil registers located in the digital output section of the I/O database. Coil registers are contained within the DF1 16-bit addresses 0 to 255.

For TelePACE firmware status registers are single bits which the protocols can read. There are 4096 status registers located in the digital input section of the I/O database. Status registers are contained within the DF1 16-bit addresses 256 to 511.

For ISaGRAF firmware coil registers are single bits which the protocols can read and write.

There are 9999 coil registers located in the digital output section of the I/O database. Coil registers are contained within the DF1 16-bit addresses 0 to 624.

For ISaGRAF firmware status registers are single bits which the protocols can read. There are 9999 status registers located in the digital input section of the I/O database. Status registers are contained within the DF1 16-bit addresses 625 to 1249.

Coil and status registers are accessed 16 at a time or individually (in some commands) using a bitmask. Writing a one to a bit within the 16-bit address turns the bit on. Writing zero to the bit turns the bit off. If the register is assigned to an I/O module, the bit status is written to the module output hardware or parameter.

Reading a coil or status register returns 1 if the bit is on, or 0 if the bit is off. The stored value is returned from general purpose registers. The I/O module point status is returned from assigned registers.

Input and Holding Registers

Input and holding registers contain 16-bit values.

Input registers are 16-bit registers which the protocol can read. For TelePACE firmware, there are 1024 input registers located in the analog input section of the I/O database. Input registers are contained within the DF1 addresses 512 to 1535.

TeleBUS DF1 Protocol User and Reference Manual 9

For ISaGRAF firmware there are 9999 input registers located in the analog input section of the I/O database. Input registers are contained within the DF1 addresses 1250 to 11247.

Holding registers are 16-bit registers that the protocol can read and write. For TelePACE firmware there are 9999 holding registers located in the analog output section of the I/O database. Holding registers are contained within the DF1 addresses 1536 to 11534.

For ISaGRAF firmware there are 9999 holding registers located in the analog output section of the I/O database. Holding registers are contained within the DF1 addresses 11248 to

21247.

Writing any value to a general purpose register stores the value in the register. Writing a value to an assigned register, writes the value to the assigned I/O module.

Reading a general purpose register returns the value stored in the register. Reading an assigned register returns the value read from the I/O module.

Accessing the I/O Database Using TelePACE

Ladder logic programs access the I/O database through function blocks. All function blocks can access the I/O database. The function blocks in ladder logic use only the Modbus addressing scheme. Refer to the TelePACE Ladder Logic Reference and User Manual for details.

C language programs access the I/O database with two functions. The dbase function reads a value from the I/O database. The setdbase function writes a value to the I/O database.

These functions use either Modbus or DF1 physical addressing. Refer to the TelePACE C

Tools Reference and User Manual for full details on these functions.

Modbus Addressing

Modbus addressing is used in all ladder logic program functions. The controller’s Register

Assignment is also configured using Modbus addresses.

The C functions dbase and setdbase support Modbus addressing. When the specified port is configured for one of the Modbus protocols, the function master_message uses Modbus addressing.

Coil registers are single bit addresses ranging from 00001 to 04096.

Status registers are single bit addresses ranging from 10001 to 14096.

Input registers are 16-bit addresses in the range 30001 to 31024.

Holding registers are 16-bit addresses in the range 40001 to 49999.

DF1 Addressing

DF1 addressing is used by the MSTR ladder logic function when the specified port is configured for one of the DF1 protocols. Modbus addressing must be used in all other ladder logic program functions.

DF1 addressing is used by function master_message when the specified port is configured for one of the DF1 protocols. The functions dbase, setdbase, setABConfiguration and

getABConfiguration also support DF1 addressing.

All DF1 addresses are absolute word addresses beginning with the first 16-bit register in the

I/O database at address 0 and ending at address 11534.

TeleBUS DF1 Protocol User and Reference Manual 10

Converting Modbus to DF1 Addresses

I/O database registers are assigned within the controller’s Register Assignment using

Modbus addressing. When polling the controller from an DF1 device it is necessary to know the DF1 address corresponding to each assigned register.

In general, the cross-reference between Modbus and DF1 addressing is shown in the following table. DF1 addresses in this table are described in the format word/bit where

word is the address of a 16-bit word and bit is the bit within that word. The bit address is optional.

TeleBUS DF1 Protocol User and Reference Manual 13

Slave Mode

The TeleBUS DF1 protocols operate in slave and master modes simultaneously. In slave mode the controller responds to commands sent by another device. Commands may be sent to a specific device or broadcast to all devices.

The TeleBUS DF1 protocols emulate the protocol functions required for communication with a host device which uses the Non-Privileged commands from the DF1 Basic Command Set.

These functions are described below.

Consult the DF1 I/O driver documentation included with the SCADA package, or specific

DF1 documentation, for details on these commands. In most cases a knowledge of the actual commands is not required to set up the host system.

Broadcast Messages

A broadcast message is sent to all devices on a network. Each device executes the command. No device responds to a broadcast command. The device sending the command must query each device to determine if the command was received and processed.

Broadcast messages are supported for function codes that write information.

A broadcast message is sent to station number 255.

Function Codes

The table summarizes the implemented function codes. Note that slave commands at the protocol layer access the I/O database in physical byte addresses. However, in master mode the interface to the TeleBUS DF1 protocol accesses the I/O database in physical 16bit word addresses. The interface function block MSTR and C function master_message are described in the Master Mode section below.

The maximum number of 16-bit words that can be read or written with one slave command message is shown in the maximum column.

16-bit register, provided the entire block is within the unprotected address range of the slave device.

Protected Bit Write

The Protected Bit Write function sets or resets individual bits in the I/O database of the slave device. Access to the I/O database is limited to the protected address range of the slave device. The data may come from any area of the master I/O database within the unprotected address range.

One 16-bit register with a bitmask is used to write up to 16 bits of data. The register must be within the protected address range of the slave device.

Unprotected Bit Write

The Unprotected Bit Write function sets or resets individual bits in any area of the I/O database of the slave device. Access to the I/O database is limited to the unprotected address range of the slave device. The data may come from any area of the master I/O database within its unprotected address range.

One 16-bit register with a bitmask is used to write up to 16 bits of data. The register must be within the unprotected address range of the slave device.

Unprotected Write

The Unprotected Write function writes 16-bit values into any area of the I/O database of the slave device. Access to the I/O database is limited to the unprotected address range of the slave device. The data may come from any area of the master I/O database within its unprotected address range.

Any number of 16-bit registers may be written up to the maximum number supported by the slave device or the maximum number above, which ever is less. The write may start at any

16-bit register, provided the entire block is within the unprotected address range of the slave device.

Sending Messages

A master message is initiated in two ways:

• using the master_message function from a C application program; or

• using the MSTR function block from a ladder logic program.

These functions specify the port on which to issue the command, the function code, the slave station number, and the location and size of the data in the slave and master devices.

The protocol driver, independent of the application program, receives the response to the command.

The application program detects the completion of the transaction by:

• calling the get_protocol_status function in a C application program; or

• using the output of the MSTR function block in a ladder logic program.

A communication error has occurred if the slave does not respond within the expected maximum time for the complete command and response. The application program is responsible for detecting this condition. When errors occur, it is recommended that the application program retry several times before indicating a communication failure.

TeleBUS DF1 Protocol User and Reference Manual 17

The completion time depends on the length of the message, the length of the response, the number of transmitted bits per character, the transmission baud rate, and the maximum message turn-around time. One to three seconds is usually sufficient. Radio systems may require longer delays.

Polling DF1 PLCs

All DF1 PLCs, except the PLC-5/VME, will support some portion of the basic commands implemented.

Notes

1

At the protocol level these commands convert and send the slave word address as a byte address. The SLC500, 5/01 (and 5/02, prior to Series C FRN 3) treat this byte address as if it were a word address in the SLC500. This means that the (desired word address)/2 must be specified for the Slave Register Address in MSTR or master_message. Note that this always results in an even starting word address in the slave SLC. (E.g. Slave word address of 7 specified in MSTR accesses SLC word address 14.)

2

The SLC5/02, 5/03 and 5/04 have a status selection bit (S:2/8) which allows selection of either word or byte addressing when interpreting only these commands. (Setting SLC bit

S:2/8 = 1 selects byte addressing so that, for example, a slave word address of 7 specified in MSTR accesses SLC word address 7.)

3

These commands can access SLC memory only in the CIF or Common Interface File: N9.

See further details in section 12-15 of the SLC500 Instruction Set manual.

4

These commands can access MicroLogix memory only in the CIF or Common Interface

File: N7. See further details in section 12-15 of the MicroLogix 1000 Instruction Set manual.

5

These commands can access memory only in the CIF or “PLC-2 compatibility file”: N7.

See further details in section 16-7 of the PLC-5 manual.
