1.1 General

1.1-1 Overview

The Uni-Telway industrial bus is the standard means of communication between

Telemecanique control devices including: PLCs, operator dialog terminals, speed drives, numerical controls, weighing indicators.

Uni-Telway also simplifies communication with devices from other vendors, such as supervision and control computers.

Uni-Telway can be used for two types of application:

. Control and surveillance of system devices by PLC:

Devices such as ATV45 speed drives, LT8 protection relays, ASN specialized couplers, numerical controls.

This device supervises the data link and checks its operation. It controls the allocation of bus access time to the various connected devices. This location comprises a TSX Series 7 PLC equipped with a TSX SCM 21.6 (for TSX 47/67/

87 PLCs) or a TSX SCG 116 (for TSX 17-20 PLCs) serial communication module.

. 1 to 27 Slaves

Presentation

The services available depend on the devices connected. Services are accessed through a standard or specific question and answer dialog.

Standard requests are described in the Uni-Telway Reference Manual. Requests that are specific to TSX-17 PL7-2 Micro-PLCs are described in the Appendix of this manual.

Operating Modes

The Micro-PLC is a Slave supporting Client and/or Server status.

The TSX 17-20 controls the physical and data link layers of the Uni-Telway protocol.

It performs the routing to and from the PLC processor that handles Uni-Telway protocol control.

1.1-2 Reminders

CLIENT: The device that initiates communications. It asks questions (reads), sends answers (writes) or orders (Run, Stop, etc.).

SERVER: The device that executes the order sent by the client and sends a confirm after execution.

2.1 Principles

2.1-1 Configuring the TSX 17 ACC5 Adapter

The TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC has two link addresses on the Uni-Telway bus:

. Server and line monitoring application address (Ad0)

This address is assigned by software configuration. It allows access to the Micro-

PLC's system (adjust, debug, etc.). All requests received on this address are sent to the system gate of the PLC that is the destination of the exchange. This address also enables the reception of unsolicited data from other devices on the Uni-

Telway bus (using request H'FE'). The mess ages received on the address are sent to the application program and a text block that is set to receive.

. Client application address (Ad1)

This address is assigned automatically and follows address Ad0. It is controlled by the application program of the slave module (text block). It enables messages to be sent to any other address on the Uni-Telway bus (system gate or text block in the master or in another slave PLC or any other device) and the reception of related confirms or answers.

The modification of addresses Ad0, Ad1 and the binary data flow is performed by changing the configuration of the programming port of the TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC.

Entering another configuration requires a TSX T407, TSX T607 programming terminal or an IBM PC-PS/2 micro-computer with PL7-2 programming software for use with TSX 17-20 Micro-PLCs.

Uni-Telway mode configuration example with TSX T407 terminal

Access to the configuration of the programming port of the TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC is gained from the mode selection screen by pressing the following dynamic soft keys:

The transmission speed (baud rate) of the line used to transmit data is configured by repeated pressure on the baud key. The transmission speeds that can be selected are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 bits/second.

The transmission speed selected must be the same for all devices connected to the Uni-Telway bus (normally 9600 Bits/second).

Pressing this key allows the user to enter the data link address (Ad0) of the PLC connected to the Uni-Telway bus. The entry is validated by pressing <ENT>. The other addresses on the bus are set automatically by incrementation (Ad1 = Ad0+1). The value of the Ad0 data link address must be between 1 and 151.

The character format cannot be modified in Uni-Telway mode. The selected values are:

. DATA = 8 data bits,

. STOP = 1 stop bit,

. PRTY = ODD (odd parity).

Pressing this key allows the user to configure the programming port of the PLC in character mode.

2.1-2 Using a Text Block

When a TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC slave is only a server on the Uni-Telway Bus, communication is performed automatically without requiring a specific application program.

When a client slave PLC needs to send a request, it is sent through a text block.

Request structure and text block utilization is described below.

Communication is essentially performed via a question and answer dialog referred to as Request/Confirm.

Request structure

A request comprises 32 bytes:

. the request code (one byte),

. the category code (one byte),

. parameters and/or data limited to 30 bytes.

Request code

Category code

Confirm structure

A confirm comprises 32 bytes:

. the confirm code (one byte),

. parameters and/or data limited to 31 bytes.

Data

Confirm code

Data

The request is sent by the application program from the Client TSX 17-20 PLC by text block. This Coupler type text block (set with S, I and O at 1 for requests that require a confirm) must comprise all request parameters.

The existing relationship between the structure of a request/confirm and the text block parameters are described on the next page.

Note: The category code must always take the value H'07'.

TXTi,C The least significant byte comprises the request code. The most significant byte comprises the category code and always takes the value H'07'.

Examples:

TXTi,C = H'07FC' corresponds to the "unsolicited data" request. No confirm will be sent by the destination device. The destination can be a text block in another slave device or the TSX SCM 21.6 that is the Uni-

Telway bus master.

TXTj,C < > H'07FC' corresponds to a standard or specific request that requires a confirm from the destination. The destination device can be the system gate of the master PLC or a slave.

TXTi,M The LSB comprises the physical location of the exchange destination device.

In Uni-Telway mode, the MSB always takes the value H'00'.

Examples:

TXTi,M = H'0000' corresponds to the bus master module at data link address 1.

TXTj,M = H'0004' corresponds to the device at data link address 4.

TXTi,L Comprises the length of the transmission table (in bytes).

TXTi,M On reception of a message, the LSB comprises the data link address of the request sender device.

In Uni-Telway mode, the MSB always takes the value H'00'.

Examples:

TXTi,M = H'0000' corresponds to reception of a message from bus master.

TXTj,M = H'0008' corresponds to reception of a message from the device with data link address 8 on the bus.

TXTi,R Takes the value H'00FC'if the text block receives the unsolicited data request.

It takes the value of the exchange confirm if it originated the request.

TXTi,S Contains the number of bytes received in the text block reception table, if the exchange was correct. If an exchange error occurs, TXTi,S takes the following values:

1 :

2 :

3 :

11 : exchange cancelled by Reset, transmission table length error, message refused, text block type not supported.

2.1-4 Exchanges Between PLCs

Dialog between PLCs connected to the Uni-Telway bus uses text blocks.

The transmission text block can send its messages or data to:

. the system gate of the PLC that is the destination of the exchange (access to all standard and specific requests as described in the Appendix).

. an application program text block (message system access).

. The limits of the master module (refer to the TSX SCM 21.6 User's Manual),

. The limits of the slave PLC processor,

. Flow checking (message loss on power break).

Exchanges between Uni-Telway bus and master PLC

The time that elapses between reception of a request and transfer of a response to the output buffer of the TSX 17-20 PLC is a maximum of two PLC cycles.

Slave PLC Limits

. System Access (Ad0)

The slave PLC can only control one exchange with the system (request/confirm cycle or reception of unsolicited data) at a time. If a message is received on the line while an exchange is in progress, it is refused (NACK).

. Client Application Address (Ad1)

The module can only control one exchange with the application program at a time. Before starting another exchange, the first must be completed (reception of a text block that resets bit D of the text block).

. Processor Limits

. It is possible to access the system gate of the TSX 17-20 PLC even if it is stopped,

. The system can only process one request at a time,

. The maximum message size is 32 bytes (request or confirm + parameters + data).

Flow control

When a text block set for transmission (with S, I and O at 1) sends a request, it awaits reception and remains in this state until it receives an answer. If the destination station suffers a power supply fault or is disconnected, the sender text block will remain blocked:

Bits TXTi,D and TXTi,E remain at 0.

The application program of the client PLC must allow for this situation by including a "time-out" in sender text block operation.

If no answer is received before time-out, then the text block is reset to 0 (RESET

TXTi).

2.1-6 Communication via Telway 7

Exchanges between devices connected to the Uni-Telway bus and stations connected to the Telway 7 network are fully user transparent and performed via the

Uni-Telway master.

I mportant A TSX 17-20 slave PLC can only be a server for a station connected to the Telway 7 network.

It cannot send a message to a Telway 7 station .

Example: Telway 7 Station 2 to Slave A

The TSX 47-30 PLC, that is station 2 on the Telway 7 network must write the value

2345 in word W1000 of TSX 17-20 Slave A on the Uni-Telway bus.

. parameter = message to send.

. Sender text block (slave):

. Sending a message (request H'FC') to the master is performed automatically using simplified addressing (event triggered data comprising up to 8

bytes). The TSX 17-20 directs the message to the TSX SCM 21.6 module in the master, that stores it in a buffer.

. The request is sent by text block TXT1 of the application program (set with S and O at 1 as there is no acknowledgement or confirm from the application program),

. Start of transmission table = W100. The transmission table comprises the message to be sent,

. There is no reception table as there is no answer.

. Destination application (master):

. Event triggered data sent by the TSX 17-20 is read by the application program of the master (sending request H'A8' to channel 1) when it detects a change in the data.

. The amount of data sent is restricted to 8 bytes max. and can be set when the master TSX SCM 21.6 module is configured.

For additional information on reception and processing of event triggered data by the master, refer to the TSX SCM 21.6 User's Manual (TSX D24 005E).

Setting the Request Parameters

Sending the "write system word" request is performed by text block TXT0 of the application program in Slave B. This coupler type (CPL) text block must be set for to send and receive (send word W100 and receive a report).

The transmission table, located after W10 comprises two words:

. W10 = number of the system word to write (16),

. W11 = contents of the system word number (W100).

There is no reception table as there is no data assigned to the confirm.

The text block parameters are:

. TXT0,C = H'7015'

. TXT0,M = H'0001'

. TXT0,L = 4 category code = H'07', request code = H'15', destination data link address (Ad0 = 1), transmission table length (in bytes)

2.3-4 Slave A

Flowchart

SET SY14

TO 1

The "write system word" request does not require a specific application program in

Slave PLC A.

It is necessary to set system bit SY14 to 1, to enable the display of system word

SW16 by the TSX ACC2 display unit.

The value of SW16 is displayed with Slave PLC A in Run or in Stop.

When the value of word W100 changes (W100 different from W50), its new value is stored in W50 (labels 20 and 30).

The initialization of the various sender text block parameters with the "write system word" request is done at label 40:

. set B10 to 1 Processing in progress,

. set B20 to 1 Start the text block,

. Load the value 16 in W10 (start of the transmission table),

. Load W11 with the new value of W100 (converted to BCD) for display by the

TSX ACC2 display unit.

Once the text block has been started (at Label 50), bits B20 and B30 (start and reset the text block) must be reset to 0 (at Label 60).

When a text block set to send and receive sends a request, it then awaits reception of a confirm. If a power break or a disconnection from the bus occurs at the destination end, the text block will remain blocked with bits TXTi,D and TXTi,E at 0.

The application program must allow for this.

Provision for this is made by using timer T0 (set for 5 seconds). As soon as a request is sent, T0 is triggered (by Label 10). If no confirm has been received by the text block after 5 seconds, it will be reset to 0 by B30 (at Label 60).

As soon as a correct confirm is received (TXT0,R = H'00FE'), Bit B10 (processing in progress) is reset to 0 (at Label 60). The program is then set to await a change in the value of W100 before starting a new exchange.

2.4 Additional Programming Information

2.4-1 Broadcast Messages

The "broadcast message" service allows a message to be sent from the data link master device to all of the slave devices connected to the same Uni-Telway bus.

The "broadcast message" service does not support acknowledgements at data link level nor confirms at application level.

If one of the slaves is not available when this service is used, it will not receive the message.

Reception of request H'FC'

When a broadcast message is sent by the data link master on the Uni-Telway bus, the application program of the TSX 17-20 must comprise a text block set to await reception (S and I at 1), ready to receive request H'FC'.

The message received does not specify a destination Micro-PLC text block number.

Therefore, if a number of text blocks are awaiting reception at the same time, the one with the lowest number will effectively receive request H'FC'.

TXTi,M

TXTi,R

After reception, comprises the data link address of the sender: H'0000'.

Takes the value H'00FC'.

Reception of another request

When another request is broadcast, it is received by the system gate of the

TSX 17-20 PLC in a fully user transparent manner.

Software Installation

2.4-2 Events

This service enables a slave server that supports this function to send data on events to the TSX SCM 21.6 Uni-Telway master module on its own initiative.

This data is sent by the "unsolicited data" request that does not require an answer from the destination.

The amount of data sent is restricted to 8 bytes and can be set when the

TSX SCM 21.6 master module is configured. For further information refer to the

TSX SCM 21.6 User's Manual (TSX D24 005E), sub-section 2.2.

Addressing

When the TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC sends a message to the master PLC using the

"events" request, this message comprising event related data is automatically directed to channel 1 of the master module.

. message:

. TXTi,C = H'07FC'

. TXTi,M = H'0000'

8 bytes max.

category code = H'07', request code = H'FC', message destined for the master.

Data Acquisition

The data (stored in TSX SCM 21.6 master module RAM) is read by the the application program of the master when the read events data request (code H'A8') is sent to channel 1 of the TSX SCM 21.6 module.

For more information on the processing of events data by the master, refer to the

TSX SCM 21.6 User's Manual (TSX D24 005E), sub-section 3.2.

3.1 Performance Levels

The overall response time from the transmission of a request to the reception of an answer depends on:

. The network cycle time,

. The software response time of the PLC processor,

. The variation in synchronization between the client, network and server cycles.

Bus Cycle Time

The bus cycle time (BCT) corresponds to the time between two polls of the same network address. (Refer to Sub-section 4.3 of the Uni-Telway Reference Manual).

Module software response time

The PLC processor response time is a maximum of two cycles between the reception of a request and the availability of a response in the output buffer of the

TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC.

Difference between client, network and server cycles

The difference between the client, network and server cycles depends on:

. the cycle time of the master PLC,

. the bus cycle time,

. the server cycle time (slave PLC cycle time, etc.).
