Overview This chapter describes the operating principle of XBT terminals in applications using the Uni-Telway protocol.

WARNING

LOSS OF CONTROL z z z z

The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop.

Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical for critical control functions.

System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link.*

Each implementation of a Magelis XBT N/R/RT must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

General

At a Glance

Illustration

Uni-Telway is a field bus used to communicate between devices of the same type according to a protocol defined by Schneider Electric.

Numerous proprietary or third-party devices can be used on this bus, which has become one of the industry standards.

The communication protocol terminology defines the software (driver) installed in the devices that are connected to the Uni-Telway bus.

This section gives a brief description of the principles of the communication bus.

The following illustration shows the position of the field buses in an industrial communication environment.

At a Glance

Illustration

Communication between same-type devices can only take place by defining interconnection standards that define the behavior of each device in relation to the others. These standards were developed by ISO (the International Standard

Organization), which defined a standardized Network Architecture more commonly known as the OSI (Open System Interconnection) model.

This model is made up of seven ranked layers that each perform a specific part of the functions necessary for interconnecting systems.

The layers communicate with equivalent layers from other devices, via standardized protocols. Within a single device, layers communicate with their immediate neighbors via hardware or software interfaces.

The figure below describes the layers of the OSI model.

33003974 06/2008

Note: The Uni-Telway bus matches this model in terms of layers, without possessing all of them. Only the Application, Network, Link and Physical layers are necessary for this field bus.

Operating Principle

Application

Layer

The field bus’ application layer is the one visible by the programs of the interconnected devices. This is used to formulate the requests (reading/writing words and bits, identification, etc.) that will be sent to the remote device.

The Application layer used by the Uni-Telway bus is the UNI-TE application protocol.

Example : an XBT N/XBT R/XBT RT connected to a Uni-Telway bus will send UNI-

TE requests in order to update the graphic objects displayed on these pages.

The UNI-TE protocol is a CLIENT/SERVER protocol enabling each device of a Uni-

Telway bus to send or receive requests.

Request

CLIENT SERVER

Action

Report

Certain devices can support the double status of CLIENT and SERVER. For example, a PLC is SERVER for its system tasks, (programming functions, adjustment, diagnostics, etc.) and can be CLIENT to the user program code

(command sending, status reading, etc.) with regard to another PLC, to the digital control of tool machines, to a sensor or to a protector). In general, XBT N/XBT R/

XBT RTs have the status CLIENT to PLCs whose operation they visualize or control.

They have the status SERVER when they meet requests for identification, protocol version, detected error counters, etc.

Note: For further details on the UNI-TE application protocol, refer to the Schneider

Electric TSX DR NET documentation.

33003974 06/2008

Network Layer

Operating Principle

The network layer of the Uni-Telway bus is used to define and use the addresses of the devices that communicate between themselves. In the case of a Uni-Telway bus, this layer is the X-Way layer.

X-Way addressing is used to identify a device on a network or a bus. Each station of a network is identified by a unique address, made up of a network number and a station number. Addresses then differ according to the bus.

To identify the address system used by the XBT N / XBT R / XBT RT, refer to the section in this manual on configuring the Uni-Telway driver.

Note: For further details on X-Way addressing, refer to Presentation of X-Way

Addressing , p. 17 or Schneider Electric TSX DR NET documentation.

Link Layer The link layer of the Uni-Telway bus uses the Master/Slave communication principle.

The principle of a link layer is to define the low-level communication method for the communication medium (physical layer).

A Uni-Telway bus has one master device, the other devices of the bus are slaves

The master device can send directly a request or an answer to any slave.

Cyclically, the master device interrogates each slave. The interrogated slave can thus send a request or an answer to the master. If this request or answer is not for the master but for another slave device, the master forwards it to the right addressee.

Note: One reason for Master/Slave management is that at any time it is possible to calculate transfer time for requests and the answers from each device. This therefore enables us to size the buses precisely, in order that there be no saturation or information loss.

In general, the master device is a PLC. To find out the maximum number of slaves, refer to the documentation of the master you have chosen.

Note: Do not confuse the notions of CLIENT/SERVER and Master/Slave. These are not located on the same layers of the OSI model. There is only one master on the bus, but several CLIENTS and/or SERVERS), and a single device can be a

CLIENT one moment and a SERVER another.

33003974 06/2008

Operating Principle

Physical Layer The physical layer of the OSI model characterizes the topology of the communication bus or network, as well as the medium (cable, wire, fiber optic, etc.) that will transport the information and its electrical coding.

Within the framework of a Uni-Telway bus, topology may be daisy-chained, derived or a mix of both. The medium is made up of shielded twisted pairs, and the signal is a base band signal with a default speed of 9600 bit/s, odd parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.

Note: In order for all devices to be able to communicate among themselves on the same Uni-Telway bus, the speed, parity and data bit number characteristics must be identical.

33003974 06/2008

Operating Principle

Presentation of X-Way Addressing

General Rules In a communication architecture, all exchanges generally take place as point-topoint exchanges between two logical entities (client and server). Each of these logical entities must be identified by a unique address. The address has two construction levels, described over the following pages.

Note: An XBT N / XBT R / XBT RT type operator dialog terminal, connected to a

Uni-Telway bus from a station in this communication architecture, is able to reach a device through the X-Way addressing, indicating the address of the objects to display or control.

Architecture

Level

A network architecture is made up of terminal stations and intermediate stations

(bridges) that link together 2 or more networks.

A station is identified by: z z a single network number in the architecture, a single station number in a network.

The intermediate stations connected to different networks therefore have several network addresses.

Illustration:

Terminal station Station i Address = R1S2

Station j

Intermediate station

Address = R1S1

Address = R2S2

Network 1

Station k Address = R1S3

Station l

Address = R2S1

Station m

Intermediate station

Address = R2S3

Address = R3S1

Intermediate station Station n Address = R3S2

33003974 06/2008

Operating Principle

Station Level This level is used to call an entity in the station.

A station connected to a network is made up of a set of communication entities located both in the station itself and in the devices connected to its internal communication channels (FIPIO bus, PLC backplane bus, Uni-Telway bus, etc.).

A communication entity is identified in its station by an address (module number, channel number in the module, connection point or slave address, etc.).

Examples:

Network 1

Module 0

Channel 1

Station 2

Operating Principle of XBT Terminals Using the Uni-Telway Protocol

Status of XBT

Terminals in Uni-

Telway

Applications

The XBT terminal has the status of a CLIENT.

The XBT N410/401 and XBT R410/411 are slaves on the Uni-Telway network, unless they are connected to the programming port of a TSX 17 PLC via an

XBT Z958 cable.

The XBT occupies 2 consecutive addresses on the bus. CLIENT address = cabled address + 1; this is the address that the XBT uses to read and write variables in a device on its own initiative; this address is transparent for the other devices (it simply has to be reserved on the bus).

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

The protocol must be installed and used by authorized and properly trained personnel.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Hash Characters Hash characters displayed in alphanumerical fields on your XBT terminal indicate that the value to be displayed is too long for this alphanumerical field and cannot completely be displayed. The value 100 can, for example, not be displayed in a 2digit alphanumerical field. To correct this, enter a shorter value or adapt the size of the alphanumerical field so that it can display any of the possible values of the PLC variable.

Alphanumerical

Fields

Blinking alphanumerical fields on your XBT terminal indicate that the value of this field has exceeded or fallen below a user-defined threshold.

System Error

Messages

A variety of system error messages is by default configured for the terminals. All these standard system messages are assigned a panel number 200+x. A distinction is made between system error messages indicating communication interruptions and status messages provoked by inputs at the terminal.

These 2 message types differ by the numbers they are assigned and by the way they are displayed at the terminal as shown in the list below:

To indicate that a communication interruption has occurred, the message is displayed in a popup dialog box every 10 seconds.

The status message is displayed as a response to user input at the terminal.

Messages

Caused by Input at the Terminal

Messages 242 to 254 are issued by the XBT as a response to user input at the terminal. These messages are displayed directly after the operator has sent an incorrect command to the terminal and will persist until the user has corrected the entered command or value. Messages 255 to 258 are status messages displayed after the user has initiated an operation at the terminal to indicate that it has (or has not) been accepted and is in progress.

Diagnosis

Counters

Diagnostics

4 diagnosis counters can be displayed on the protocol’s system page (line parameters):

Counter Meaning

4 number of emitted messages that were not acknowledged (no response at all or undefined response)

Explanation

Possible reasons: z The PLC may have not received the request (due to cabling problems).

z The PLC may not be able to process the request (due to incoherent communication parameters between XBT terminal and PLC).

number of emitted messages that were refused

The PLC has received the request but is too busy to answer it (due to cabling problems).

Possible reason: z z too much equipment connected too many requests from the XBT terminal (optimize the pages so that the variables are contiguous or reduce the size and the speed of the dialog table by reducing the number of requests number of received messages that were not acknowledged (no response at all) number of received messages that were refused (no response at all)

This counter will remain at 0 in normal operation. It will only be increased if the

XBT terminal receives wrong requests on its server channel (due to incoherent communication parameters between

XBT terminal and PLC).

This counter will remain at 0 in normal operation. It will only be increased if the

XBT terminal receives too much diagnose requests.
