Differences between TSX SCG 116 and TSX SCM 21.6 modules

The TSX SCG 116 serial communication module supports the same functions as the

TSX SCM 21.6 module.

Experienced users of this module will find differences in the following areas:

. Connecting the module (refer to sub-section 2.1),

. Only two TSX SCG 116 modules can be installed in a Micro-PLC configuration,

. Configuration is lost in the event of a power break (refer to sub-section 2.2),

. When a TSX SCG 116 installed in a TSX 17 Micro-PLC is the source or target for messages, the usable data length is restricted to 30 bytes max. A TSX SCG 116

Master can automatically route messages of up to 128 bytes between Slaves

(refer to sub-section 2.5),

. Status word TXTi,S (refer to sub-section 2.5),

. Limits to operation (refer to sub-section 2.8),

. Register words IWn,0 and IWn,1 (refer to sub-section 3.3),

. Routing between communication modules is fully application and user transparent

(e.g. Modem

1.1 The Uni-Telway Bus

1.1-1 General

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

Telemecanique's 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 the PLC

Devices such as ATV .5 speed drives, LT8 protection relays, ASN specialized couplers and numerical controls.

Uni-Telway requires:

. 1 Master

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 modular TSX Series 7 PLC equipped with a TSX SCM 21.6 serial communication module or a TSX 17-20/PL7-2 Micro-PLC (fitted with a TSX

P17-20 FC or FD Micro-software cartridge) and a TSX SCG 116 serial communication module.

. 1 to 27 Slaves

Introduction

1.1-2 Operating Modes

The services supported depend on the devices connected. The standard or specific request question and answer dialog is used to access services.

Standard requests are described in the Uni-Telway Bus Reference Manual

(TSX D24 004E). Requests that are specific to TSX Series 7 PLCs are described in the Appendix of this manual.

Depending on the configuration of its communication module, a PLC can be:

. A Master and support Client and/or Server status,

. A Slave and support Client and/or Server status.

The module 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.

A TSX SCM 21.6 or TSX SCG 116 module can act as the Uni-Telway bus Master on power-up, regardless of the status of its host PLC. Communication between devices can then commence.

CLIENT

SERVER

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

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

Page

2.1 Description and Connection

2.1-1 Hardware Presentation

Connection to the Uni-Telway bus requires:

5 6

3 4

A TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC fitted with a PL7-2 language micro-software cartridge (Ref. nbr.

TSX P17 20 FC or TSX P17 20 FD).

The hardware configuration comprises:

. The power supply 1 ,

. The PLC processor with programming port

2 and status LEDs 3 ,

. The 24K RAM program memory cartridge

(with storage for 2K of data when PL7-2 is used). The memory is battery backed-up by the battery located at 4 ,

. A slot 5 for the PL7-2 language microsoftware cartridge,

. A 9-pin connector 6 for the I/O bus extension.

A TSX SCG 116 serial communication module that enables the Micro-PLC to connect to a Uni-Telway bus. The module comprises:

. A 9-pin I/O bus extension connector and cable, for connecting to the previous module 8 ,

. A 15-pin connector 2 for connecting to a

TSX SCA 62 subscriber socket via a

1.5 meter TSX CSC 015 cable,

. A ground connection 1 ,

. A 9-pin connector 7 for connecting the I/O bus extension to the next module.

The module configuration code is 63.

The module has four indicator LEDs:

. A red "I/O" LED 4 indicating a module fault,

. A green "RUN" LED 3 that lights when the self-tests are complete, indicating that the module is powered-up and operating normally,

. A red "ADR" LED 5 that lights if a terminal block addressing fault occurs or if the terminal block is absent,

. A red "NET" LED 6 that lights on the Master module when there are no Slaves on the bus. This LED lights on the Slave module when there is no polling. The

"NET" LED will light if "ADR" is lit.

Important: Before using the Uni-Telway bus, it is essential to ensure that the various modules are correctly grounded.

Installation

2.1-2 Connecting the Module

Connecting to the Micro-PLC

The module is connected to the Micro-PLC or extension block by its built-in cable.

The module must therefore always be located to the right of the Micro-PLC or extension block.

It can be installed as the first, second or third extension module.

1 2 3

Up to two TSX SCG 116 modules can be installed in a Micro-PLC configuration.

Note: The last extension block or module in a configuration must have an end of line terminator connected to the I/O bus extension connector at the lower right of the module. The terminator is supplied separately, its reference number is TSX 17 ACC10.

For more information on the installation of extension blocks and their dimensions, refer to the TSX 17 Micro-PLC Installation Manual (TSX D11 000E).

Connecting to the Uni-Telway bus

The module is connected to the

Uni-Telway bus via a 1.5 meter long TSX CSC 015 cable and a

TSX SCA 62 subscriber socket.

Both ends of the cable are fitted with 15-pin male sub-D connectors.

The address coding of a Micro-

PLC on the Uni-Telway bus is set by the micro-switches located in the subscriber socket.

When a TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC is connected to the end of a Uni-Telway bus, the line adaptor circuit jumper must be set to the ON position.

For more information on address coding and end of line adaptors, refer to Section

2 of the Uni-Telway Bus Reference Manual (TSX D24 004E).

2.2 Uni-Telway Configuration

2.2-1 Default Configuration

TSX SCG 116 modules start-up with the default configuration when they are connected to a TSX SCA 62 subscriber socket via a TSX CSC 015 cable.

Depending on the address set on the micro-switches in the subscriber socket, the default configuration is:

. Uni-Telway Master if the address is equal to 0,

. Uni-Telway Slave if the address is not 0 (1 to 31).

The parameters of the default configuration are:

Uni-Telway Master:

. Poll 31 data link addresses,

. Binary data flow: 9600 bits/second (bps),

. Time-out: 100 ms,

. Eight bytes of events data.

Uni-Telway Slave:

. System address set by the subscriber socket connected to the module,

. Binary data flow: 9600 bits/second (bps),

. Time-out: 100 ms,

. No "Client" application address (request - confirm),

. No "line monitoring" application address (unsolicited data).

2.2-2 Changing the Default Configuration

If the default configuration is inadequate (unsuitable data flow rate, number of devices polled, use of "client" or "line monitoring" application addresses, etc.), a new configuration designed specifically to meet the user's requirements must be sent by the application program (sending a parameter table by text block).

This table comprises 5 memory words (10 bytes). Their coding is entered in:

. Hexadecimal: function, number of polled link addresses, addresses,

. BCD: binary data flow, time out.

Important:

As TSX SCG 116 modules are not fitted with a back-up battery, a user defined configuration sent by text block must be sent each time the module is poweredup.

When the TSX SCG 116 module is connected to a TSX SCA 62 subscriber socket, the software configuration must have the same settings as the subscriber socket; function code for Uni-Telway Master or Slave and

Uni-Telway system address for a Uni-Telway Slave. If there is any difference in the settings, the hardware setting overrides the software setting.

Parameter Meanings

Function: Specifies the channel operating mode:

. 5 = Uni-Telway Master,

. 6 = Uni-Telway Slave.

Nbr. of link addresses: 152 addresses max. polled by the Master,

Binary data flow: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19200 Bits per second

(bps),

All devices connected to the bus must have the same binary data flow.

Time-out: This gives the maximum authorized period between the end of message transmission (request, selection, etc.) and acknowledgement by the destination device. The time value is coded in BCD with a time base of 10 milliseconds (ms). The minimum time is that of the slowest device connected to the bus and must always at least equal the time required to send 10 characters on the line (e.g. 80 ms at 1200 bps).

Size of events data:

Events data is sent to the Master on the initiative of a Slave. The size of data processed by the module is 8 bytes max. for the first 32 Slaves on the bus (refer to sub-section 3.1).

Server system address (Ad0):

This address is coded in the subscriber socket that the module is connected to. It allows access to the Slave PLC's system (adjust, diagnostics, program up/download functions, etc.).

Client application address (Ad1):

This address is assigned by configuration to the Slave module. It enables messages to be sent to, or received from other devices connected to the Uni-Telway bus, whether they require a response or not.

Line monitoring application address (Ad2):

This address is assigned to the Slave module by configuration. It enables the reception of unsolicited data from other devices on the Uni-Telway bus.

When the configuration of a Slave PLC is sent and addresses Ad1 or Ad2 are not required, the corresponding byte in the configuration table must be set to zero.

2.2-4 Writing a Configuration

When the default configuration is unsuitable for the application, the user must send a table of new parameters to the module. This new table is defined by internal words

(Wi) or constant words (CWi) and is sent by text block.

Summary of text block parameters:

. CPL type text block TXTi,

. TXTi,M = module address (module nbr. 1, 2 or 3) and channel nbr. = 0,

. TXTi,C = configuration write request code: H'0040',

. TXTi,L = length of the table to be sent to the module: 10 bytes.

These variables can be initialized by program or by configuration.

The exchange is started by setting text block inputs S,I and O to 1,

The end of the exchange is shown by TXTi,D = 1 and TXTi,E = 0.

The report TXTi,R can take one of two values:

H'00FE' Correct configuration, accepted and stored by the module,

Installation

H'00FD'

Note:

Incorrect configuration, rejected by the module. The previous configuration is retained (parameter out of range, TXTi,L > 10, etc.).

It is possible to change the configuration parameters using a TSX T407 terminal fitted with the TSX

TS4 310 Adjustment Cartridge. Any modifications made will be lost if a power break occurs.

2.2-5 Example

Configuring a device with the following characteristics:

. Uni-Telway Master (function = 5),

. TSX SCG 116 module number = 3,

. Poll 15 data link addresses (H'0F'),

. Binary data flow = 19200 bps,

. Time-out = 40 ms,

. Eight events bytes reserved for each Slave.

The transmission table located after internal word W100 therefore comprises the following values:

W100 = H'500F',

W101 = B'0000',

W102 = B'1920' (binary data flow corresponding to 19200 bps),

W103 = B'0004' (40 ms = 4 x 10 ms),

W104 = B'0008'

The transmission table is sent to the module by text block TXT2.

The text block parameters are:

. CPL type text block,

. TXT2,M = H'0300' Module nbr. = 03, Channel nbr. = 00,

. TXT2,C = H'0040' configuration write request code = H'0040',

. TXT2,L = 10 send 5 words (10 bytes).

The module configuration is sent by the application program (setting inputs S, I and

O to 1).

2.3 Checking Communication

Once the various modules are configured, the user has a number of ways of checking performance, such as using:

. The register words of the various modules,

. The "read device status" request,

. The TSX TS4 310 Adjustment Cartridge that checks which devices are connected to the bus, identifies them and performs complete bus diagnostics. For more detailed information refer to TSX TS4 310 Adjustment Cartridge User's Manual

(TSX D12 006E).

2.3-1 Register Words

The following register word bits are significant when set to 1.

Master PLC

. IWn,0,3 Module ready,

. IWn,0,4 General fault,

. IWn,0,B Module not configured,

. IWn,0,C Module in Run,

. IWn,3,0 One or more data link addresses did not reply before time-out.

Slave PLC

. IWn,0,3 Module ready,

. IWn,0,4 General fault,

. IWn,0,B Module not configured,

. IWn,0,C Module in Run,

. IWn,3,0 No polling on the line,

. IWn,3,1 Address Ad0 is not polled,

. IWn,3,2 Address Ad1 is not polled or is not configured,

. IWn,3,3 Address Ad2 is not polled or is not configured.

Installation

2.3-2 Device Status Read Request

When Master PLC bit IWn,3,0 is set to 1, the status of devices connected to the bus can be determined using the "read device status" request (request code A3).

This request is sent to channel 1 of the data link Master module:

Example

The TSX SCG 116 Master module controls 4 Slave devices.

Transmission

This request is sent by Master PLC text block TXT7. The TSX SCG 116 module number is 3 and the various parameters are:

. TXT7,M = H'0300'

. TXT7,C = H'07A3'

. TXT7,L = 0

Module nbr. = 3, Channel nbr. = 00,

Category code = H'07', Request code = H'A3',

No transmission table.

Request transmission is triggered by setting inputs S,I and O of text block TXT7 to 1.

Reception

The answer code is given by parameter TXT7,R:

. TXT7,R = H'D3' for correct exchange,

. TXT7,R = H'FD' for incorrect exchange.

The reception table of text block TXT7 comprises:

. The number of devices that can be controlled by the module (152 max. = H'98'),

. The status of each device, indicated by a succession of 152 bits (19 bytes), where the first bit gives the status of device 1, the second of device 2, and so on.

. Bit x = 0

. Bit y = 1

Device x disconnected,

Device y connected.

Once the text block exchange is complete, the reception table comprises the following parameters:

Wi = H'0998'; Wi+1 = H'0000'; Wi+2 = H'0000'; ... Wi+9 = H'0000'.

The least significant byte shows the number of devices that can be controlled (98),

The most significant byte shows whether the devices are connected or not.

H'09' = L'1001': Devices 1 and 4 connected,

Devices 2 and 3 disconnected.

Note: The data link Master always sends back the status of the devices connected to the bus (152 max.) even if they are not all actually present. Only those bits corresponding to the controlled devices are significant. The length of the text block reception table must be set correctly (10 words). If incorrect, the text block will generate an error during the exchange.

2.4 Connection Between PLCs and XBT Terminals

The XBT man-machine dialog terminal can connect to the Uni-Telway bus. The asynchronous serial link that it uses conforms to Uni-Telway standards.

The XBT-.8 terminal is connected to the bus via a TSX SCA 62 subscriber socket.

This means of connection will automatically set-up the configuration of the module.

Installation

2.5 Using a Text Block

2.5-1 General

Communication uses a question and answer dialog called Request/Confirm.

Request structure

Requests comprise:

. The request code (one byte),

. The category code (one byte),

. Parameters and/or data (126 bytes max. or limited to 30 bytes with a TSX 17-20).

Request code

Category code

Data

Confirm structure

Confirms comprise:

. The confirm code (one byte),

. Parameters and/or data (127 bytes max. or limited to 31 bytes with a TSX 17-20).

Confirm Data

Important The TSX SCG 116 module can automatically route messages of up to 128 bytes between Slaves.

A TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC connected to the Uni-Telway bus via a TSX SCG 116 module can send and receive messages of up to 32 bytes max. Therefore, messages of more than 32 bytes that are destined for a TSX 17-20 cannot be processed by it.

2.5-2 Master PLC

The request is sent by the application program from the client Master PLC by text block. This text block (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 overleaf.

This bit goes to 1 when the text block completes its exchange.

This bit goes to 1 if an exchange error occurs (for further details refer to sub-section 2.8).

2.5-3 Slave PLC

The request is sent by the application program from the client Slave PLC via a text block. This text block (with S, I and O at 1, for requests that require a confirm) must comprise all request parameters.

When a Slave PLC is a client, it must specify the address of the destination entity when sending a request. This address is coded in 5 bytes and must be included at the start of text block transmission table.

TXTi,E

Comprises the number of bytes received in the text block reception table when a correct exchange is performed. If the exchange is incorrect, TXTi,S takes the following values:

1 : exchange cancelled by Reset,

2 : transmission or reception length error,

3 : exchange error (see sub-section 2.8),

6 : incorrect buffer address,

11 : text block type not supported.

This bit goes to 1 when the text block completes its exchange.

This bit goes to 1 if an exchange error occurs (for further details refer to sub-section 2.8).

2.7 Connection for Exchanges Between PLCs

2.7-1 Presentation

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).

Master (system gate)

Read the parameters of the Master’s timer T6 by Slave 2.

Addressing principles (reminders)

A Slave PLC has 3 data link addresses. They are defined by configuration and are:

. System address (Ad0)

All of the messages received on this address are sent to the system gate of the exchange destination PLC. This address is required and is defined by coding the

TSX SCA 62 subscriber socket or by configuration if there is no subscriber socket.

. Client application address (Ad1)

This address is controlled by the application program of the Slave (text block). It enables transmission of the request to any Uni-Telway address (system gate or text block in the Master or Slave PLC or in any other device) and the reception of all related reports or confirms.

Address Ad1 is coded in parameter TXTi,M.

Using this address requires the coding, at the start of the text block transmission table, of the address of the exchange destination.

. Line monitoring application address (Ad2)

This address is assigned to the Slave module for receiving unsolicited data

(request H'FC') from other devices on the Uni-Telway bus.

The messages received at this address are sent to the application program through a text block set to receive.

Note: Addresses Ad1 (client application) and Ad2 (line monitoring application) can only be configured by text block. They are optional, therefore if they are not required it is not necessary to needlessly lengthen the polling cycle.

Installation

TXTi,M comprises:

. The TSX SCG 116 module number (1 to 3),

. The data link source address where the exchange originated (data link address

Ad1 incremented by H'64').

Destination address

This is included at the start of the transmission table of the text block that originated the exchange, in the format shown below:

Wi+1

Wi+2

Wi+3 network number gate number channel number

DATA

0 station number module address

The following parameters are used:

Network number:

The number of the Telway 7 network where the destination device is located. It takes a value of:

. 00 for a single Telway 7 network or no network.

Station number:

The address of the PLC on the Telway 7 network. It takes a value of:

. H'FE' if there is no Telway 7 network or if a Master or Slave of the Uni-Telway bus is being addressed.

Gate number:

The number of the logic gate that is the destination of the exchange. It takes a value of:

. 00: access to the system gate,

. 05: access to a Uni-Telway module or more generally to a Uni-Telway Slave connected to one of these modules,

. H'10' to H'4F': access to text blocks (text block number + H'10').

Note: The other values are reserved, they must not be used.

Module location

The location of the module that is the destination of the exchange. It takes the values:

. 1 to 3 for the module number for TSX 17-20 Micro-PLCs,

. 0 to F for the rack number followed by 0 to 7 for the module location for TSX

47/67/87 PLCs,

. H'FE' if the destination device is on the same Uni-Telway bus,

. 00 for a gate number other than 5.

Module channel number

The channel number assigned to the Uni-Telway Slave. It takes the value of the destination data link of the exchange, incremented by H'64' or:

. 00 for a gate number other than 5.

2.8 Limits to Operation

Exchanges of messages or data on the Uni-Telway bus are limited by:

. Exchanges between the module and the processor,

. The limits of the Master module,

. The limits of the Slave module,

. Flow checking (message loss on power-break, etc.).

Module - Processor Exchange

. The processor of a TSX 17-20 can exchange an input and an output message on every second cycle of the application program.

Master Module Limits

. The Master module can store 7 messages from the Uni-Telway bus until they are routed to the PLC processor. It can also store 4 messages from the PLC processor, destined for the Uni-Telway bus.

Slave Module Limits

. System Access (Ad0):

The module can only control one exchange (request/confirm cycle) with the system 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.

To start another exchange, the first must be completed (reception of a text block that resets bit D of the text block).

. Line monitoring Application Address (Ad2):

The module does not restrict communication in line monitoring mode on data link address Ad2.

TSX 17-20 Processor Limits

. Local module to module exchanges can be performed,

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

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

. Exchanges are possible between the processor and the module even when the

PLC is stopped,

. Exchanges between a Telway 7 network and a Uni-Telway Slave module are possible (refer to sub-section 2.9).

Flow control

. Master PLC

When a text block set with S, I and O at 0 sends a request, it awaits reception and remains in this state until it receives an answer. If the destination device suffers a power supply fault or is disconnected, the sender text block will remain inhibited.

There are two possible cases:

- Destination power break or disconnection during the exchange:

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

The Master (Client) application program 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 must be reset to 0.

- Destination power break or disconnection before the start of the exchange or non-existent device:

A text block error occurs, bits TXTi,D and TXTi,E are set to 1 and status word

TXTi,S takes a value of 3.

. Slave PLC

As the Slave module can only process one text block at a time, it uses a set 10 second time-out that is reset on each exchange request. If no answer is received before time-out, the sender text block automatically generates an error

(TXTi,E = 1 and TXTi,S = 3).

2.9 Communication via Telway 7

Exchanges between TSX 17-20 Slave Micro-PLCs connected to the Uni-Telway bus and stations connected to the Telway 7 network are fully transparent when performed via the Uni-Telway Master PLC (TSX 47/67/87) connected to Telway 7.

Example: Slave PLC to Telway 7 station

A TSX 17-20 Slave on the Uni-Telway bus (refer to next page) has to set the preset for Monostable M6 to a value of 1000 in the TSX 47-30 PLC, station 2 of the

Telway 7 network.

3.1 Broadcast Messages

General

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.

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

Addressing

The data is sent by a coupler type text block with the following characteristics:

TXTi,M Comprises the sender address and the destinations:

. Location of the TSX SCG 116 Master module,

. The data link address of the exchange destination devices. If they are broadcast messages, this data link address will be set to H'FF' by convention.

TXTi,C Takes the value H'07xy' where xy corresponds to the request code of the required function (e.g. operating mode requests).

Notes: The processing of this request performed by the destination devices depends on the type of device connected.

In the case of a TSX SCG 116 Slave module the message is received on data link address Ad0

(system gate). The message is sent at data link level without acknowledgement (ACK) from the destination.

The "unsolicited data" request is not accepted by the system gate of a Slave PLC connected to the bus via a TSX SCG 116 module.

Additional Programming Information

3.2 Events

3.2-1 Processing by the Module

This service enables a Slave server that supports this function to send data on events to the Uni-Telway Master module on its own initiative.

This data is sent using simplified addressing, by the "unsolicited data" request that does not require an answer from the destination. The module receives and stores the events data received in a buffer. The PLC's application is informed via the register field of a change in value. Therefore, each IWn,4 and IWn,5 input register word is assigned a data link address with the following correspondence.

IWn,4,0

→ data link address 1,

IWn,4,1

→ data link address 2,

IWn,4,2

→ data link address 3,

............................................. ....,

IWn,5,E

→ data link address 31

IWn,5,F

→ data link address 32.

Example If the events data and data link addresses 4, 8 and 31 have been changed, the module will set register bits IWn,4,3, IWn,4,7 and

IWn,5,E to 1.

The module processes the events data for data link addresses 1 to 32. The size of the data sent can be parametered when the Master module is configured, but is restricted to 8 bytes max. per data link address (refer to sub-section 2.2).

Addressing

Sending events enables the sender to not have to give the destination address. The data is automatically sent to the Master module.

Data acquisition

The data (stored in Master module RAM) is read by sending a read events data request (code H'A8') by text block to channel 0 of a TSX SCG 116 module or to channel 1 of a TSX SCM 21.6 module.

It is possible to acquire the events data from a number of devices using the same request by assigning the value of the input register words IWn,4 and IWn,5 to the first two words of the request sender's text block. Each module then sends back the number of bytes defined when the Master module was configured.

The data is received in the reception table of the sender text block.

Important If the data link Master is a TSX 17-20 Micro-PLC, the maximum size of the messages is 30 bytes.

If the size of the events data is more than 30 bytes, the application program must allow for it and not request more than 30 characters at a time.

3.2-2 Example

Data

. The TSX SCG 116 module (module number = 1) of the TSX 17-20 Master Micro-

PLC indicates a change of state in the events data for data link addresses 1, 4, 8,

16 and 22 by setting bits IW1,4,0; IW1,4,3; IW1,4,7; IW1,4,F and IW1,5,5 to 1,

. The size of the events data is configured in the module as 4 bytes for each data link address,

. The request is sent by text block TXT2 (set-up with S, I and O at 1) of the application program,

. Start of the exchange table = W15,

. Start of the reception table = W0.

Transmission

. TXT2,M comprises:

The rack number where the TSX SCG 116 Master module is located (1),

The address of the Uni-Telway channel (0):

TXT2,M = H'0100'.

. TXT2,C = Read events data request code:

TXT2,C = H'A8'.

. TXT2,L = Comprises the length of the transmission table in bytes:

TXT2,L = 4.

. Transmission table:

To read the events data received in the buffer of the Master module. The first two words in the transmission table should comprise the values of register words IW1,4 and IW1,5.

W15

W16 content of IW 1,4 content of IW 1,5

Additional Programming Information

Reception

Once the exchange is complete, the text block reception table (located after W0 with a length of 30 bytes) contains the events data received by the module. An answer field, the size of which is defined in bytes when the module is configured, is assigned to each logical channel that sends events data:

Data device 1

Data device 4

Data device 8

Data device 16

Data device 22

The number of bytes received is indicated by parameter TXT2,S that has a value of

TXT2,S = 20 (4 bytes per logical channel that has sent events data).

Report:

The report TXT2,R contains the value of the answer code once the exchange is complete. The report value is H'D8' if the exchange is correct or H'FD' if the exchange is incorrect.

3.3 Discrete Bits and Register Words

3.3-1 Discrete Bits

The TSX SCG 116 (RS-485 Uni-Telway) module does not have transmission bit control signals. The transmission validation signals used in RS-485 are controlled by the communication protocol and are used to switch the transmitter to high impedance in a user transparent manner.

3.3-2 Register Words

The register interface of TSX SCG 116 modules only comprise input registers:

These status words can only be accessed in read. They describe the operation of the module and channel 0.

A RAM, REPROM or internal logic fault. This fault permanently inhibits the module which must be replaced. This fault can also be caused by the lack of a 12V supply or by the 220V and 12V supplies not being switched on at the same time, especially when external supplies are used for some modules or components. Check that any other modules installed in front of the TSX SCG 116 module are supplied at the same time as the Micro-

PLC. The RUN and I/O LEDs on the front panel of the module indicate this fault.

Every time it is powered-up, the module runs a series of self-tests, indicated by this bit. The module is not available and cannot be programmed while the self-tests are in progress.

Additional Programming Information

3.5 Read Objects Request

3.5-1 Data Shift

The object read request (code H’36’) enables access to simple objects (words, word strings, etc.).

The structure of this request is detailed in the Appendix of this manual.

When this request is sent, the user must specify the parameters of the sender text block (TXTi,C; TXTi,M; TXTi,L; etc.) along with its transmission table. The transmission table must comprise the following parameters:

. The segment that the request is addressed to,

. The type of object to read,

. The address of the first object to read,

. The number of objects to read.

Once the request has been processed by the destination device, it will send the type of object read and the requested data to the start of the sender’s text block reception table.

The structure of the sender’s text block is shown opposite (when reading words for example):

Wi + 1

Wi + 2

Wi + 3

1st. LSB

2nd. LSB

3rd. LSB etc...

Type of Object

1st. MSB

2nd. MSB

3rd. MSB

The data received is therefore shifted by one byte and encoded in two successive words.

The application program must therefore take into account the shift when processing the data received.

The data received can be shifted by using a word transfer operation where the source and destination indexes have the same values:

The result of transfer Wi[k]

4.1 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 TSX SCG 116 module,

. 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 Bus Reference

Manual).

Module software response time

The module software response time of the TSX SCG 116 module is:

. 10 ms approx. (validity check and routing).

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.).
