Getting Started

The following procedure outlines the steps required to put your Micro PLC into operation.

Step 1. Unpack the Micro PLC

First, carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage. Unpack the shipping container and verify the contents. Record all serial numbers. For details, see “Unpacking” in Chapter 3.

Step 2. Install the Micro PLC

Mount the Micro PLC on a vertical surface: a wall or panel using screws or on a 35mm DIN rail.

The Micro PLC requires a minimum clearance of 1.99 inches (50mm) on each side for cooling.

For details, see “Installation Requirements” and “Installation” in Chapter 3.

Step 3. Connect Ground and Power Wiring

For safe operation of your Micro PLC, the installation must meet the requirements of

“Grounding Procedures” in Chapter 3.

For power connections, refer to the wiring diagram for the Micro PLC model that you have.

(See “Field Wiring Installation” in Chapter 4.)

Step 4. Power-up Test

Warning

Ensure that the protective cover is installed over terminals on the terminal board when power is applied to the unit. The cover protects against accidental shock hazard which could cause severe or fatal injury to personnel.

Apply the required power to the system. The Micro PLC should perform a self-diagnostic test. The

OK indicator will blink during power-up diagnostics. When self-diagnostics have been successfully completed, the OK indicator will remain lighted. For details, refer to “Powerup Self-test” in

Chapter 3.

Step 5. Connect a Programmer to the PLC

Connect a programming device to the RS-422 serial port (Port 1) on the Micro PLC. (Port 2 on 28 and 23-point Micro PLCs does not support configuration and programming.) For cabling diagrams, refer to “Connecting a Programming Device” in Chapter 3.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.

What causes a “No Communications” message when I toggle to MONITOR or ONLINE?

Following are a few possible causes:

Insufficient conventional memory (at least 545Kbytes) in your personal computer to load the

Logicmaster 90 communications driver.

Make sure the config.sys file in your computer is properly configured. For details on configuring your config.sys file, refer to “Software Installation” in the Logicmaster™ 90 Series 90™-

30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466. For additional assistance, call your personal computer help line or GE PLC Technical Support at 1-800-GE.

Configuration mismatch between Logicmaster 90 in your computer and the PLC configuration.

Make sure that the computer and the PLC are using the same baud rate and parity. From the main menu in Logicmaster 90, press F2 to enter the configuration software. To check the computer settings, press F7, Programmer Mode and Setup, and then F4, PLC Communications Serial Port

Setup. To check the PLC settings, press F1, I/O Configuration. The PLC baud rate and parity will be displayed in the Software Configuration Screen.

Broken cable between your computer and PLC or broken or missing RS-232/RS-422 converter.

For information on installing the converter, refer to Appendix E in this manual.

2.

How do you set up the High Speed Counters (HSCs)?

Using the Logicmaster 90 configuration software or a Hand-Held Programmer (HHP), enable each

HSC that you want to use. If you want the HSC to drive an output, you must enable its output in the software configuration and set its Enable Output bit in your program or in the data tables. For example, if HSC 1 is configured with its output enabled and its Output Enable bit, %Q505 is set, it will control Q1. (HSC 1 will continually report to the CPU memory location %AI06.) A sample rung that sets the Output Enable bit for HSC 1 is shown below.

| +IN Q+——————————————————————%Q0505

| | LEN |

| |00003|

| +—————+

For more information, refer to “High Speed Counter/CPU Interface” in Chapter 6 of this manual.

Simple (A-type) counters and A-Quad-B (B-type) HSCs count continuously by default, resetting themselves automatically when a high or low limit is reached. A-type HSCs can also be configured for one-shot counting, in which the HSC counts to one past the limit and then stops.

In one-shot mode, the HSC can be reset by the program using a Communications Request

(COMM_REQ) function to write a zero to the Accumulator. The HSC can also be reset by the

Preload input. If the counter’s Preload/Strobe parameter is set to PRELOAD (default), the configured preload value will be loaded to the Accumulator when the Preload/Strobe signal goes

Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

1 active. For example, if PRELOAD is configured and the default Preload Value of 0 is used, an input on I2 will reset the Accumulator for HSC 1.

For wiring information, refer to the diagrams in “High Speed Counter Inputs” and the wiring diagrams provided in “General Wiring Procedures” in Chapter 4.

Warning

When the Micro PLC goes from RUN to STOP mode, the HSCs will continue to operate. Also, the HSCs will remain in run mode through a power cycle. Therefore, if an HSC is running when power is lost, it will run when power is restored.

3.

How do I program the Micro PLC?

You can use a Hand Held Programmer (IC693PRG300) or Logicmaster 90 software

(IC640HWP300, includes a 2-meter programming cable) loaded into a DOS-based personal computer. The personal computer must have at least a 386 processor and at least 2 megabytes of

RAM.

For a new-user programming lesson, refer to Appendix A of the Software User’s Manual,

GFK-0466. Chapter 4 of the Series 90™-30/20/Micro Programmable Controllers Reference

Manual, GFK-0467 provides descriptions and examples of programming commands for the Micro

PLC.

4.

What should I do when I get a “Password disabled” or “insufficient privilege” message?

There are two possible causes for these messages:

Password is set to DISABLE in the Software Configuration screen for the Micro PLC.

The default configuration for password is ENABLE. When changed to DISABLE and stored to the

Micro PLC, the setting is permanent. If the configuration is changed back to ENABLE and stored, the “password disabled” error message will be generated and the store will not be allowed. You can either change the configuration back to DISABLE, or use an HHP to erase the program and configuration, thereby restoring the default configuration.

Insufficient privilege has been set in the Software Configuration and stored to the PLC.

The OEM password cannot be overwritten. To remove the OEM password, you must use the HHP to clear the PLC memory.

If a password has been set from the level 4 menu and then forgotten, you can override it. This procedure is documented in Chapter 5 in the Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466. (The original program disks are required.)

5.

What does it mean when OK LED is blinking or the Run LED is not lighted?

Each time power is applied, the CPU performs a self check for several seconds. The OK LED blinks during the self-test and then changes to a steady on state.

If the Run LED does not light when you go to run mode, the cause could be invalid configuration or a fatal error in the CPU fault table.

High Speed Counters

(IC693UDR011/002/005,

IC693UAL006, IC693UDR010)

The high speed counter (HSC) function consists of four built-in counters. Each counter provides direct processing of rapid pulse signals up to 5Khz for industrial control applications such as: meter proving, turbine flowmeter, velocity measurement, material handling, motion control, and process control. Because it uses direct processing, the HSC can sense inputs, count, and respond with outputs without needing to communicate with the CPU.

The HSC function can be configured to operate in one of two modes:

A4 – four identical, independent, simple (type A) counters that can count up or down

B1–3, A4 – counters 1–3 configured as one type B counter; counter 4 as one type A counter.

In either mode, each counter can be enabled independently. Type A counters can be configured for up or down counting (default is up) and for positive or negative edge detection (default is positive).

The HSC function is configured using the Series 90-30 and 90-20 Hand-Held Programmer or the

Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro software configurator function. Many features can also be configured from an application program using the COMM_REQ function block.

Type A Counters

A type A counter accepts a count input that increments a 16 bit accumulator. It also accepts a preload/strobe input that can either preload the counter accumulator with a user-defined value

(PRELOAD mode) or strobe the accumulator (STROBE mode) into a 16-bit register.

The four type A counters provide 15 words of %AI data or 16 bits of %I data to the PLC. They receive 16 bits of %Q data from the PLC. Each counter has two discrete inputs and one discrete output.

Type B Counter

The type B counter provides an AQUADB counting function. An AQUADB input consists of two signals (designated A and B). A count occurs for each transition of either A or B. The counter uses the phase relationship between A and B to determine count direction.

DC Output (IC693UDR005/010, UAL006)

The high-speed DC output (%Q1) can be configured for PWM, pulse train, or HSC output.

Counter channel 1 can be configured for only one of these outputs at a time. Because AQUADB counting uses channels 1–3, the PWM and pulse train outputs are not available when a type B counter is configured.

PWM Output

The frequency of the PWM output (19hz to 2Khz) is selected by writing a value to memory location %AQ2. A PWM duty ratio (the amount of time that the signal is active compared to the signal period) within the range of 0 to 100% can be selected by writing a value to memory location %AQ3.

Pulse Output

The frequency (10hz to 2Khz) of the pulse train is selected by writing a value to memory location

%AQ123. The number of pulses to be output (0 to 32767) is selected by writing a value to memory location %AQ124.

ASCII Output (IC693UDR005/010, UAL006)

This feature allows you to send a specified byte string out the serial port by including a

COMM_REQ (Communications Request) instruction in a ladder diagram. The Micro PLC can automatically send a message to a remote location that has the ability to display an ASCII string, such as a pager. As an example of how pager enunciation could be used, when a specific alarm condition is detected by the PLC, the PLC would execute a COMM_REQ instruction to autodial the modem attached to the serial port. If the autodial COMM_REQ is successful, a second

COMM_REQ would be executed to send an informative ASCII string to the pager where it can be viewed by the user. Finally, a third COMM_REQ would be sent to hang up the pager.

The I/O board provides the interface to the front panel input, output, and power supply connections for the Micro PLC.

Input Circuits

DC Input Circuits (IC693UDR001/002/005/010, UAL006)

The DC input circuits condition and filter 24 VDC input voltages so that they can be properly detected by the CPU module. The input points can be used in either positive or negative logic mode.

The DC inputs can be used as regular inputs or to supply count and preload/strobe inputs for

HSCs. For more details on the operation of HSCs see Chapter 6.

AC Input Circuits (IC693UAA003/007)

The AC input circuits accept 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz signals. Input characteristics are compatible with a wide range of user-supplied input devices, such as pushbuttons, limit switches, and electronic proximity switches.

Potentiometer Inputs (All Models)

Two potentiometers are provided to allow adjustment of the values in analog registers %AI16 and

%AI17. The potentiometers can be turned by inserting a small screwdriver through an access hole in the Micro PLC front panel (see Figure 2-3.)

A potential use for the potentiometers would be to set threshold values for use in logical relationships with other inputs/outputs.

Chapter 2 Introduction 2-7

Output Circuits

Relay Output Circuits (IC693UDR001/002/005/010, UEX011, UAL006)

The 2-amp, isolated, normally open output circuits allow the low-level signals from the CPU module to control relay devices. There is no fusing on relay outputs. The user should provide external fusing to protect the outputs. The outputs can be configured as regular outputs or as outputs controlled by the HSCs.

AC Output Circuits (IC693UAA003/007)

The AC output points provide 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.5 A signals.

DC Output (IC693UDR005/010, IC693UAL006)

The DC output circuit provides a 24 VDC output voltage. This output can be used as a normal DC output, HSC-controlled output, pulse train output, or pulse width modulation (PWM) output.

Analog I/O (IC693UAL006)

The 23-point Micro PLC features two analog input channels that map to %AI0018 and %AI0019 in the PLC. In voltage mode, the analog-to-digital (A/D) range of 0—32,000 counts corresponds to a 0—10 V input signal. In 0—20mA current mode, the A/D range of 0—32,000 counts corresponds to a 0—20mA input signal. In 4—20mA current mode, the A/D range of 0—32,000 counts corresponds to a 4—20mA input signal.

The analog output channel maps to %AQ0012. In voltage mode, the output channel digital-toanalog (D/A) range of 0 to 32,000 counts corresponds to a 0—10V output. In 0—20mA current mode, a range of 0 to 32,000 counts corresponds to a 0—20mA output signal. In 4—20mA current mode, the A/D range of 0—32,000 counts corresponds to a 4—20mA output signal.

The full set of SNP(X) Master commands, as described in “SNP-X Commands” in the Series 90

PLC Serial Communications User’s Manual, GFK-0582, is supported on Port 2 of the 23- and 28point Micro PLCs.

RTU Slave

This feature is implemented as specified in the Series 90 PLC Serial Communications User’s

Manual, GFK-0582. RTU as implemented in the Micro PLC is a subset of the Modbus™ Remote

Terminal Unit serial communications protocol. Prior to Release 3.10, RTU protocol is only supported in the 4-wire implementation. Support for 2-Wire RTU was added in Release 3.10.

For the 14 point unit, an additional feature is implemented that automatically detects whether the configuration/programming software is attached to the Micro PLC. The firmware will auto-detect the presence of the programmer when RTU is the active protocol, so that you only need to begin using the configuration/programming software for a 14 point Micro to be able to communicate with it.

Port 1 (All Models)

A 15-pin D-type, female connector on the front of the Micro PLC provides the connection to an

RS-422 compatible serial port which is used to communicate with Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro software, the HHP, or for general purpose communications. This port supports SNP and SNPX protocols. On 14-point Micro PLCs, this port also supports RTU Slave protocols. The RS-422 connector is protected by an access door. This port can be configured using the Logicmaster 90 configuration program or the HHP, except for RTU communications, which must be configured by a COMM_REQ function in ladder logic.

Port 2 (23 and 28-Point Models)

A second RS-422 compatible serial port, also protected by an access door, is provided on 23 and

28-point Micro PLCs. This port can be used for general purpose communications using SNP,

SNPX, and RTU Slave protocol. Serial Port 2 can also be configured as an SNP/SNPX Master port. The following programming/configuration software features are supported through Port 2 when there is no programmer connected to Port 1:

1.

The status line correctly displays current information about the PLC. If the proper folder is selected and verified, the status line will show LOGIC EQUAL.

2.

You can view any of the reference memories on the TABLES page in Logicmaster 90 and can change individual values.

3.

When ONLINE and LOGIC EQUAL are displayed in the status line, the references will be displayed correctly when you view the program logic.

4.

You can set the privilege level to 1 or 2. (Privilege levels 3 and 4 can not be accessed.)

5.

The PLC and IO fault tables are displayed.

6.

The Time-Of-Day clock can be set and its current value displayed.

7.

The RUN/STOP state of the PLC can be changed, either by pressing A LT +R or using the

PLCRUN screen.

It is not possible to load and store programs and configuration through Port 2, because the privilege level is restricted to level 2 by the PLC firmware. Autobaud is not supported on Port 2.

Port 2 can be configured using the Logicmaster 90 configuration software or by a COMM_REQ function block within a ladder logic program (see “Configuring Serial Ports” in Chapter 5).

On release 3.0 and later 28-point Micro PLCs, a separate SNP ID for Port 2 can be configured using Logicmaster 90 software release 8.00 or later. On earlier releases, Port 2 shares the SNP ID with Port 1 and the SNP ID can only be changed through Port 1. (For more information about the

SNP ID, refer to “Selecting SNP Connections” and “CPU Configuration” in the

LogicmasterSeries 90-30/20/Micro Programming Software Users Manual, GFK-0466.)

Communication through Port 2 may be lost (host may time out) while operations that involve writing to flash memory, including storing the program, are being performed through Port 1.

Expansion Port (23 and 28-Point Models)

A 40-pin connector is provided on the right side of the Micro PLC for connection to an expansion unit using a short (3

CM

) ribbon cable (provided with the Micro Expansion Unit—this ribbon

must be used/substitutes are not compatible). The Micro PLC can support up to four expansion units connected in series.

Terminal Strips

The Micro PLC module has two non-removable terminal strips. The input connections are on the top terminal strip and the power supply and output connections are on the bottom terminal strip.

Refer to Chapter 4 for field wiring information and diagrams.

An optional removable terminal strip (IC693ACC002) , shown in Figure 2-4, is available for

Micro PLCs. (They can be placed side-by-side on 28-point Micro PLCs.) The removable terminal strips can be used on the top or bottom of the Micro PLC and are inserted under the existing screw terminals.

Lighted if power is supplied to the unit and the power supply is operating correctly. Not lighted if a power supply fault occurs or if power is not applied.

Blinks during self-diagnostics. Blinks (with RUN indicator) if a fault is detected during selfdiagnostics.

When lighted steadily, indicates that self diagnostics have all passed.

Lighted when the PLC is executing the logic program entered by the user (RUN mode).

Blinks if a fault is detected during self-diagnostics.

These LEDs indicate the status of individual input points. If the associated LED is lighted, the voltage at the input point is high enough to energize the input circuit. If the LED is not lighted, the voltage is too low to energize the input circuit (see “I/O Specifications” in

Chapter 4 for thresholds). The input LEDs indicate the input status in all CPU modes:

STOP with I/O Disabled, STOP with I/O Enabled and RUN (standard sweep or constant sweep).

These LEDs indicate the status of individual output points. An LED is lighted when its corresponding output is commanded to turn ON (for example if %Q1 = 1, OUTPUT 1 LED will be lighted).

All outputs turn OFF in the STOP with I/O Disabled mode. Outputs will hold last state or the present user-commanded state in the STOP with I/O Enabled mode. In the RUN mode, the outputs are controlled by the ladder logic program.

Power Supply Board

The power supply converts the AC or DC input source power to voltages required for internal circuitry. Power requirements are listed in Tables 2-12 and 2-13.

On DC-input Micro PLCs, the power supply board also provides an isolated 24VDC supply to power input circuits and user devices. (Refer to page 2-16 for maximum current loads for each model.) These outputs do not have fuse protection. The user should provide external fuses to protect the outputs.

On 23-point Micro PLCs (IC693UAL006), the power supply board provides internal 15VDC power for the analog output current loop and a ±15VDC supply for the analog input and output voltage circuits.

Configuration and Programming

The Micro PLC can be configured and programmed using any of the following methods.

Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro software on one of the following types of computers:

†

†

Workmaster™ II or a CIMSTAR™ I industrial computer

IBM® PC-AT, PS/2® (Personal System 2®) with 2 Mbyte RAM and an Intel 386 or higher processor

† MS-DOS compatible Personal Computer with 2 Mbyte RAM and an Intel 386 or higher processor

Logicmaster 90 Micro software with any of the above computers.

Series 90-30/90-20 Hand-Held Programmer (IC693PRG300).

Configuration and programming can be accomplished off-line from the PLC using the

Logicmaster 90 programmer. If you are using an HHP, configuration and programming can be done on-line with the HHP attached to and interfacing with the PLC. Programming and configuration communications must use Port 1.

The Micro PLC provides flash memory for non-volatile user program storage and for system firmware. The user program is always executed from flash memory. However, the Micro PLC can be configured to read its configuration at powerup from either RAM or flash memory (ROM).

Use of the programming and configuration software is described in the Logicmaster 90-

30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466. The Workmaster II computer is described in the Workmaster II PLC Programming Unit Guide to Operation Manual, GFK-0401.

Use of the HHP is described in the Hand-Held Programmer, Series 90-30/20/Micro

Programmable Controllers User’s Manual, GFK-0402.

Fault Reporting

The Micro PLC monitors internal operations for system and user problems. These faults are reported through the %S references and through an internal fault table. Access to %S information is available through the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP. The fault table can only be accessed by Logicmaster 90 software. For more details on faults and fault reporting, see Chapter 9.

Notes

1.

If configured to disable powerup diagnostics, the 28-point DC In/ Relay Out/DC Power unit (IC693UDR010) will begin logic solution 100ms after the voltage level of the power supply input reaches and maintains 24VDC.

The 24VDC power source for the UDR010 unit must have enough transient current capability to support the inrush current of the power supply and maintain a 24VDC voltage level (see power supply specifications for inrush requirements above).

2.

The DC power supply requires more current at startup voltage (approximately 4 VDC) than at rated input voltage. A minimum of 2.0 A is necessary to start up the DC power supply.

Installation

This chapter describes the procedures for installing the Micro PLC and preparing the system for use. Included in this chapter are instructions for unpacking, inspecting, and installing the Micro

PLC. Instructions are also provided for connecting cables to programming devices.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

To install and set up the Micro PLC, you will need:

Micro PLC Module.

Programming device (this can be one of the following items):

A. Hand-Held Programmer and cable.

B. Logicmaster 90-30/20 Micro software (or Logicmaster 90 Micro software), a Workmaster

II or CIMSTAR I industrial computer, or an IBM AT, PS/2 or other MS-DOS compatible

Personal Computer (with 386 or higher microprocessor and 2 Mbyte memory) and appropriate cables.

Tools for mounting the Micro PLC and connecting field wiring.

If the PLC is to be programmed using Logicmaster 90 software, a Workmaster II, CIMSTAR I, or an IBM or IBM-compatible computer is required. Logicmaster 90 software can use a Work Station

Interface (WSI) board, an RS-422 port, or a standard RS-232 interface with an RS-422 to RS-232 converter. The WSI board is installed in the Workmaster II computer at the factory.

Unpacking

1.

Visual inspection. Upon receiving your Micro PLC system, carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any part of the system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The damaged shipping container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier.

It is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment. However, GE will fully cooperate with you, if such action is necessary.

2.

Unpacking. Unpack all shipping cartons and verify the contents. All shipping containers and packing material should be saved in case it is necessary to transport or ship any part of the system.

3.

Pre-installation Check. After unpacking the Micro PLC, record all serial numbers. These serial numbers will be required if you need to request product service during the warranty period of the equipment.

GFK-1065F 3-1

Installation Requirements

The Micro PLC should be installed in a location that meets the environmental requirements listed on page 3-20. For best performance of your Micro PLC, the installation location should also adhere to the following guidelines:

The temperature must not change so rapidly that condensation could form on or inside the unit.

No combustible gases.

No dust, salty air, or conductive materials (iron powder, etc.) that could cause internal shorts.

If possible, do not install the Micro PLC where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.

Provide adequate ventilation space. Recommended minimum space allowances are approximately: 50mm (2 inches) top, sides and bottom. See Figures 3-1 through 3-3.

Do not install the Micro PLC above equipment that generates a large amount of heat.

If the ambient temperature exceeds 55°C, provide a ventilation fan or air conditioner.

Do not install the Micro PLC within 200mm (8 inches) of any high voltage (more than

1000V) or high current (more than 1A) line (except for outputs controlled by the Micro PLC).

For ease of maintenance and safety, locate the Micro PLC as far away from high voltage equipment and power generation equipment as possible.

For recommended field wiring practices, refer to “General Wiring Procedures” in Chapter 4.

Installation

The Micro PLC can be mounted on a wall or panel using screws, or on a 35 mm DIN rail. The

Micro PLC must be mounted on a vertical surface. Do not mount it on a horizontal surface. (See

Figures 3-1 through 3-3 for recommended mounting orientation and spacing requirements.) a45442

Grounding Procedures

Equipment grounding recommendations and procedures are listed below. These grounding procedures must be properly followed for safe operation of your Micro PLC system.

The maximum recommended resistance to ground is 200m

(equivalent to 100 feet of AWG

#12 – 3.29mm2 – copper cable).

Grounding installation must conform to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.

Ground conductors should be connected with separate branches routed to a central earth ground point. This method is shown in the figure below.

Ground conductors should be as short and as large in size as possible. Braided straps or ground cables – AWG #12 (3.29mm2) or larger – can be used to minimize resistance.

Conductors must always be large enough to carry the maximum short circuit current of the path being considered.

Logicmaster Programming Device Grounding

For proper operation, the programmer for Logicmaster 90 Micro software (Workmaster II or

CIMSTAR I, or IBM-PC or compatible computer) must have a ground connection in common with the Micro PLC. Normally, this common ground connection is provided by ensuring that the programmer’s power cord is connected to the same power source (with the same ground reference point) as the Micro PLC, but this will need to be verified for each installation.

I/O Installation and Wiring

Wiring connections to and from user-supplied input and output field devices are terminated at two terminal strips on the Micro PLC front panel. I/O connections are defined on the Micro PLC front panel. Wiring diagrams are provided in the “Field Wiring” section of Chapter 4.

GFK-1065F Chapter 3 Installation 3-5

Powerup Self-test

Warning

Ensure that the protective cover is installed over terminals on the terminal board when power is applied to the unit. The cover protects against accidental shock hazard which could cause severe or fatal injury to the operator or maintenance personnel.

After the proper power connections have been made, the Micro PLC can be powered up to verify that the unit is installed correctly.

Normal Powerup Sequence

Apply the required power to the power inputs.

The Power indicator, labeled PWR, should light.

The CPU status indicator, labeled OK, blinks during the power-up self diagnostics. When self-diagnostics have been successfully completed, the OK indicator will remain lighted. (The

Micro PLC can be configured to power up without running diagnostics. Unless your application requires fast power up, it is recommended that you leave powerup diagnostics enabled. For configuration information, refer to Chapter 5.)

The CPU status indicator, labeled RUN, should light if the unit is configured to run on powerup.

If any of the input points have been wired to field devices that energize those circuits and the

RUN indicator is lighted, the corresponding input LEDs should light.

If the RUN indicator is not lighted, all output indicators should be dark (in the STOP with I/O

Disabled mode).

After verifying that a valid power-up sequence has occurred, attach a programming device (Hand-

Held Programmer or computer with Logicmaster 90 software) to configure the Micro PLC and develop programs for the unit.

Caution

During a gradual power down, when the input power supply voltage is below the minimum operating voltage, the Micro PLC may power off and then power on again until the input voltage drops low enough to prevent power on again. You should take precautions if this type of behavior cannot be tolerated in your application.

3-6 Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

Fast Powerup

Powerup diagnostics can be disabled using the Logicmaster 90 configuration software. Unless your application requires unusually fast powerup, it is recommended that you leave this feature enabled. Disabling powerup diagnostics has the following effects:

The I/O Link Interface Expansion Unit will not work.

No expansion units can be used. (If expansion units are connected while powerup diagnostics are disabled, faults will be logged in the I/O tables.)

All HHP key sequences will be ignored when the Micro PLC is powering up.

Error Detection And Correction

If the Micro PLC fails the power-up self-test, one of the conditions listed in Table 3-2 will be observed after applying power.

Table 3-2. Powerup Sequence Troubleshooting

Symptom

PWR indicator does not light.

Action

1. Check that the proper power source is provided and is on.

2. With power supply off, check wiring to the module unit to be sure it is connected correctly.

PWR indicator lighted but OK indicator is not lighted.

(This indicates that the power source is good and that the

CPU has detected an internal fault.)

PWR indicator on, but OK and RUN indicators are blinking.

Refer to “Powerup Diagnostics” in Chapter 9.

The Micro PLC features built-in blink codes to assist in troubleshooting. For definitions, refer to “Powerup

Diagnostics” in Chapter 9.

Connecting a Programming Device

The Micro PLC can be programmed and configured using either the HHP or the Logicmaster 90 software (included in IC640HWP300). Both of these methods are described in Chapter 5.

An RS-422 compatible serial port is provided on the front of the Micro PLC for communication with Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro software or the HHP. This port can also be used for general purpose communications using the Series 90 Protocols (SNP and SNPX). On 14-point Micro

PLCs, this port can also be used for RTU Slave communications.

A second RS-422 compatible port (Serial Port 2) is provided on 28-point Micro PLCs. This port can be used for general purpose communications using SNP, SNPX and RTU Slave. It is not possible to load and store programs and configuration through Port 2, because the privilege level is restricted to level 2 by the PLC firmware. Communications through Port 2 may be lost (host may time out) while operations that involve writing to flash memory, including storing the program, are being performed through Port 1.

For additional information on the functions of the serial ports, refer to “Serial Ports” in Chapter 2.

For serial port orientation and pinouts, see Appendix D.

Connecting the Hand-Held Programmer

The Hand-Held Programmer (IC693PRG300) is a compact programming device that connects to the Micro PLC 15-pin serial port through a 6 foot (1.83 meter) cable that conforms to the RS-485 specification.

Warning

Always connect the cable to the Hand-Held Programmer first, then connect the cable to the Micro PLC. This avoids any chance of shorting the +5 volt supply on the PLC which could cause incorrect operation of the Micro PLC.

Incorrect operation of the PLC could damage the equipment or cause personal injury to an operator.

To connect the Hand-Held Programmer cable:

Attach the 15-pin male D connector on one end to the mating 15-pin female D connector on the Hand-Held Programmer.

Attach the connector on the other end of the cable to the RS-422 connector on the Micro PLC

(Port 1 on the 28-point Micro PLC). These connections are shown in Figure 3-6.

Note

Port 2 on the 28-point Micro PLC does not support the HHP. You must connect the HHP to Port 1.

Multidrop Serial Data Configuration to Series 90 PLCs

Note

Any installation that includes PLCs over 50 feet (15.2 meters) apart must include optical isolation.

The Series 90 Micro PLC supports a maximum of eight devices on a single serial link per network. This number can be increased with the use of a repeater. For additional information on serial communications, refer to the Series 90 PLC Serial Communications User’s Manual, GFK-

0582.

Termination resistance for the Receive Data (RD) signal needs to be connected only on units at the end of the line. This termination is made on the Series 90 Micro PLC products by connecting a jumper between pins 9 and 10 inside the 15-pin D-shell. Sample cabling for multidrop installations is provided in Appendix D, “Serial Ports and Cables” and Appendix E, “Converters.”

Replacing Fuses (AC In/AC Out Models Only)

Caution

There are no user-replaceable parts in the DC In/Relay Out Micro PLCs

(UDR001/002/005/010, UAL006, UEX011).

The AC In/AC Out model Micro PLCs (IC693UAA003/007) provide user-replaceable fuses for their AC output points. Because each output fuse is on the common of several circuits, a blown fuse will prevent the entire group associated with it from working. (Refer to Table 3-3 and to the field wiring diagrams in Chapter 4.)

Warning

Remove power from the unit before removing field wiring or removing the front cover. Failure to remove power from the unit before disassembling it could cause severe or fatal injury to personnel.

Caution

Do not attempt to remove the circuit boards from the Micro PLC assembly, or to replace fuses on the power supply board. Any disassembly beyond removing the front cover and replacing AC output fuses could damage the unit and will invalidate the warranty.

The plug-in fuses are located on the I/O circuit board (Figure 3-9), which is located immediately behind the Micro PLC front cover. To replace these fuses:

1.

Remove power from the unit and I/O devices.

2.

Remove field wiring from the unit.

3.

Remove front cover from the unit. (Gently press inward one of the tabs located on the sides of the unit and pull the cover off.)

Expansion Unit Installation

The 23-point Micro PLCs support the Series 90 Micro Expansion Units (IC693UEX011), Generic

(third party) expansion units, and the I/O Link Interface unit (IC693UEX013). Up to four expansion units can be connected in series to a base Micro PLC.

Caution

Power down the Micro PLC before connecting an Expansion Unit.

Connecting an Expansion Unit with the Micro PLC powered up will damage the unit.

Note

If you are connecting a third-party expansion unit, you will need to provide a ribbon cable. Software filtering of generic (third-party) expansion I/O is not supported. Hardware filtering should be supplied to meet the required noise immunity on these units.

Micro Expansion Unit

The Micro Expansion Unit (IC693UEX011) connects to a 23-point Micro PLC to provide additional I/O points (8 inputs and 6 outputs per each unit). This expansion unit has the following features:

Ribbon cable for connection to 28-point Micro PLC is provided with expansion unit. This ribbon cable is 3 CM in length and cannot be substituted. That is, you must use the ribbon supplied with the unit.

The Micro PLC firmware supports input filtering of the 14-point expansion units.

The expansion unit has a 40-pin female connector at each end. The left connector can be connected to either a base Micro PLC or to another expansion unit’s right-side 40-pin female connector via a short ribbon cable. Table 3-5 lists pin assignments for the expansion ports.

Caution

The 40-pin ribbon cable provided with the Micro Expansion Unit has keyed connectors to prevent incorrect connection. Powering up the system with the cable improperly installed can damage the Expansion Unit. Do not substitute the ribbon cable provided with this Micro PLC with a generic ribbon cable. If you need to order replacements, the part number is

IC693ACC003.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

To meet the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of FCC Rule part 15, subpart J, the Micro

Expansion Unit must be installed as described in the Important Product Information (IPI) document, GFK-1474. This IPI is provided with the Micro Expansion Unit and covers installation and shielding requirements.

Physical Order of Different Types of Expansion Units

Different types of expansion units can be connected to a base unit. The installation must meet the following requirements:

1 .

Generic expansion units must be located immediately after the Micro PLC base unit and before any other types of expansion units.

2 .

Standard Micro (IC693UEX011) expansion units must be located after any generic expansion units and before the I/O Link Interface expansion unit.

3 .

The I/O Link Interface expansion unit (I/O Link IEU) must be located after all other types of expansion units. Because the I/O Link IEU has only one expansion connector, it must be the last unit if other units are connected to the same base Micro PLC. This also means that there can be only one I/O Link IEU per Micro PLC base unit.

Note

The I/O Link IEU (IC693UEX013) is not sold in the United States. For details on installation and operation, refer to the documentation provided with the I/O

Link IEU.

Additionally, if two or more generic expansion units are used in a system, they should be configured and physically located with their address offsets in ascending order.

CE Mark Installation Requirements

The following requirements for surge, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and fast transient burst

(FTB) protection must be met for applications that require CE Mark listing:

The series 90 Micro PLC is considered to be open equipment and should therefore be installed in an enclosure (IP54) .

This equipment is intended for use in typical industrial environments that utilize anti-static materials such as concrete or wood flooring. If the equipment is used in an environment that contains static material, such as carpets, personnel should discharge themselves by touching a safely grounded surface before accessing the equipment.

If the AC mains are used to provide power for I/O, these lines should be suppressed prior to distribution to the I/O so that immunity levels for the I/O are not exceeded. Suppression for the AC I/O power can be made using line-rated MOVs that are connected line-to-line, as well as line-to-ground. A good high-frequency ground connection must be made to the line-toground MOVs.

AC or DC power sources less than 50V are assumed to be derived locally from the AC mains.

The length of the wires between these power sources and the Series 90 Micro PLC should be less than a maximum of approximately 10 meters.

Installation must be indoors with primary facility surge protection on the incoming AC power lines.

On Micro PLCs that have DC inputs (IC693UDR001/002/005/010, /UAL006, UEX011): The wires between the 24 VDC output and COM1 (on the 23-point Micros only) must be as short as possible.

On 23 and 28-point DC In/Relay Out Micro PLCs (IC693UDR005/010, UAL006): The cable connection to Serial Port 2 should be configured as shown in Figure 3-12 to minimize noise.

(The wire between the cable shield and the FRAME GND pin of the D-SUB connector on the cable should be cut. The cable shield should then be connected to the GND terminal screw on the Micro PLC unit.)

On 28-point DC In/Relay Out Micro PLCs (IC693UDR005/010): Inputs used as high speed counter inputs must be powered separately. An external power supply should be provided for the high speed counter inputs as shown in Figure 3-13. For wiring of discrete inputs and outputs, refer to the field wiring diagrams in Chapter 4.

On 28-point DC In/Relay Out Micro PLCs (IC693UDR005/010): Under the conditions of the

Surge Withstand test (EN61000-4-5), HSC miscounts could occur. These additional counts can be minimized by using shielded cable and by keeping the cabling length less than 30 meters.

In the presence of noise, serial communications could be interrupted.

Note

If configured to disable powerup diagnostics, the 28-point DC In/ Relay Out/DC

Power unit (IC693UDR010) will begin logic solution 100ms after the voltage level of the power supply input reaches and maintains 24VDC. The 24VDC power source for the UDR010 unit must have enough transient current capability to support the inrush current of the power supply and maintain a

24VDC voltage level (see power supply specifications for inrush requirements above).

Positive/Negative Logic Inputs (IC693UDR001/002/005/010, UDD00104, UAL006, UEX011)

The 24 volt DC positive/negative logic input circuits are designed to have positive or negative logic characteristics. Current into an input point results in a logic 1 in the input status table (%I).

For an overview of positive and negative logic, see page 4-1.

Input characteristics are compatible with a wide range of input devices, such as: pushbuttons, limit switches, and electronic proximity switches. Power to operate field devices and the input circuits is supplied by an isolated +24 VDC supply.

Potentiometer Analog Inputs (All Models)

Two potentiometers, located on the front panel of the Micro PLC, allow you to manually set input values that are stored in %AI16 and %AI17. The top potentiometer controls %AI16, and the bottom one controls %AI17 (see Figure 2-3).

Due to the nature of analog input, the values seen in %AI16 and %AI17 will have some fluctuation. The Micro PLC uses an averaging filter to stabilize these inputs. The number of samples to be averaged is controlled by the value in %AQ1 as described in “Analog Input

Filtering” in Chapter 8.

Relay Outputs (IC693UDR001/002/005/010, UAL006, UEX011)

These normally open relay outputs can control a wide range of user-supplied load devices, such as motor starters, solenoids, and indicators. The switching capacity of each of these circuits is 2 amps. Power for the internal relay coils is provided by the +26 volt DC internal supply. The user must supply the AC or DC power to operate field devices.

Output Circuit Protection

Caution

These relay outputs do not have fuse protection. It is recommended that each output point be externally fused (maximum 2 amp) to protect the output point contacts from damage.

When controlling inductive loads, it is recommended that the user provide suppression circuits as shown in Figure 4-5. In addition, relay contact life, when switching inductive loads, will approach resistive load contact life if suppression circuits are used. The 1A, 100V diode shown in the typical DC load suppression circuit is an industry standard 1N4934.

High Speed Counter Outputs (IC693UDR001/002/005, IC693UAL006)

Micro PLC outputs %Q1 through %Q8 can be configured to be controlled by the HSC function.

HSC output for Q1 can not be enabled if it is being used as a PWM or pulse train output. (Unused

HSC outputs can be used as standard relay outputs.)

Connections and specifications for HSC outputs are the same as for standard relay outputs.

DC Outputs (IC693UDR005/010 and IC693UAL006)

Kohm, 0.5 watt resistor is recommended for this purpose.

Transistor Outputs 24VDC (IC693UDD104)

The transistor output circuits allow to switch devices like valves, lamps or contactors. These transistor outputs are not protected. The user should provide external fusing to protect the outputs.

The outputs can be configured as regular outputs or as outputs controlled by the High Speed

Counters. Some outputs can be used as pulse train or pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs

(refer to the “PMW Output” section of Chapter 5).

All outputs are isolated between field and logic and are switching positive voltage. Outputs of

IC693UDD104 have one common incoming supply (VC) and one common ground (COM).

Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

4

The outputs are able to drive high inrush currents (8 times the rated current) and are protected against negative voltage pulses. This makes it possible to switch lamps and inductive loads.

The outputs are not short circuit proof and require external fuses for each output to be effectively protected. For this purpose fast fuses are recommended.

AC Inputs (IC693UAA003/007)

The 120 VAC input circuits are reactive (resistor/capacitor) inputs. Current into an input point results in a logic 1 in the input status table (%I). Input characteristics are compatible with a wide range of user-supplied input devices, such as pushbuttons, limit switches, and electronic proximity switches. Power to operate the field devices must be supplied by the user. The input circuits require an AC power source: they cannot be used with a DC power source.

AC Outputs (IC693UAA003/007)

The 120 VAC, 0.5 A output points are provided in isolated groups. A circuit diagram is shown in

Figure 4-9. The commons are not tied together inside the module. This allows each group to be used on different phases of the AC supply, or to be powered from the same supply. Each group is protected with a 3.2 amp fuse for its common. Also, an RC snubber is provided for each output to protect against transient electrical noise on the power line. This module provides a high degree of inrush current (10x the rated current) which makes the outputs suitable for controlling a wide range of inductive and incandescent loads. An inrush derating curve is provided in Figure 4-10.

AC power to operate loads connected to outputs must be supplied by the user. This module requires an AC power source, it cannot be used with a DC power source.

User-replaceable fuses are supplied internally on the common of each output group. This fuse does not guarantee that the output point will be protected from a direct short. It is recommended that each output point be externally fused (minimum 1 amp) to protect the output point. For lighter loads, the internal common fuse (3.2 amp) can be replaced with a 1 amp fuse to protect the output point without adding the external fusing.

Field Wiring Installation

Wire Connection Information

Wire connection information for power supply and I/O connections for Series 90 Micro PLCs is detailed below.

Warning

The Series 90 Micro PLC must be grounded to minimize electrical shock hazard. Failure to do so could result in injury to personnel.

Warning

You should calculate the maximum current for each wire and observe proper wiring practices. Failure to do so could cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

Caution

When connecting stranded conductors, insure that there are no projecting strands of wire. These could cause a short circuit, thereby damaging equipment or causing it to malfunction.

Power Supply and I/O Connections

Each terminal can accept solid or stranded wires, but the wires into any given terminal should be of the same type and size.

Use copper conductors rated for 75 °C (167 °F) for all wiring. You can use one AWG #14

(2.1 mm2) conductor or two smaller conductors – AWG #16 (1.3 mm2) through AWG #20

(0.36mm2) – per terminal.

The suggested torque for the terminal connections is 5 in-lbs (5.76 kg-cm).

4-20 Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

General Wiring Procedures

The following procedures should be followed when routing and connecting field wiring from user devices to the Series 90 Micro PLC inputs and outputs. Figures 4-11 through 4-15 provide wiring information for connecting user-supplied input and output devices and power sources for the

Series 90 Micro PLCs.

Turn off power to the Series 90 Micro PLC before connecting field wiring.

All low level signal wires should be run separately from other field wiring.

AC power wiring should be run separately from DC field wiring.

Field wiring should not be routed close to any device that could be a potential source of electrical interference.

If severe noise problems are present, additional power supply filtering or an isolation transformer may be required.

Ensure that proper grounding procedures are followed to minimize potential safety hazards to personnel.

Label all wires to and from I/O devices.

Note

All DC inputs can be connected as either positive or negative logic. In the following field wiring diagrams, DC inputs I1 through I4 are connected as positive and the remaining inputs are connected as negative.

Note

If you are controlling inductive loads, you should provide suppression across each inductive load. For illustrations of typical suppression circuits for AC and

DC loads, see Figure 4-5.

Configuration

The Series 90 Micro PLC can be configured and programmed using any of the following methods.

Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro software on a Workmaster II or CIMSTAR I industrial computer, or an IBM® PC-AT, PS/2® (Personal System 2®) or compatible Personal

Computer.

Logicmaster 90 Micro software (part of IC640HWP300) on any of the above computers.

Series 90-30/90-20 Hand-Held Programmer (IC693PRG300).

Both configuration and programming can be done off-line from the PLC, using the Logicmaster

90 Micro software. Configuration and programming using the Hand-Held Programmer (HHP) must be done with the HHP attached to and interfacing with the PLC.

For more information about the use of these programmers, refer to the following:

* If configured to disable powerup diagnostics, the 28-point DC In/ Relay Out/DC Power unit

(IC693UDR010) will begin logic solution 100ms after the voltage level of the power supply input reaches and maintains 24VDC. The 24VDC power source for the UDR010 unit must have enough transient current capability to support the inrush current of the power supply and maintain a 24VDC voltage level (see power supply specifications for inrush requirements in Chapter 2).

Disabling powerup diagnostics has the following effects: The I/O Link Interface Expansion Unit will not work. No expansion units can be used. (If expansion units are connected while powerup diagnostics are disabled, faults will be logged in the I/O tables.) All HHP key sequences will be ignored when the

Micro PLC is powering up.

Configuration and Programming Using the HHP

You can use the HHP to perform the following tasks:

Statement List logic program development, including insert, edit, and delete functions. The

Statement List programming instructions provide basic (Boolean) instructions to execute logical operations such as AND and OR, and many functions that execute advanced operations including arithmetic operations, data conversion, and data transfer.

On-line program changes

Search logic programs for instructions and/or specific references

Monitor reference data while viewing logic program

Monitor reference data in table form in binary, hexadecimal, or decimal formats

Monitor timer and counter values

View PLC scan time, firmware revision code and current logic memory use

Load, store, and verify program logic and configuration between the HHP and a removable

Memory Card (IC693ACC303). This allows programs to be moved between PLCs or loaded into multiple PLCs.

Start or stop the PLC from any mode of operation

Storing Configuration and Register Data Using the HHP

Because the user program is stored in non-volatile flash memory, only one copy is maintained, even after you invoke the Write to EEPROM/FLASH function in Logicmaster 90, or using the

HHP. However, separate copies of the user configuration and reference tables are maintained in the EEPROM/FLASH areas of the flash memory.

The configuration entry, Cfg From (see table on page 5-2), determines only whether the user configuration is obtained from RAM or PROM. The user program is always read from flash

(PROM) memory.

To store the configuration and register data:

1.

From the END OF PROGRAM screen, press the W

RITE

key (see steps 1 and 2 above).

2.

Press the ± key until the following screen appears:

Configuring Serial Ports

Port 1, an RS-422 compatible serial port, is used to communicate with Logicmaster 90-

30/20/Micro software, the HHP, or for general purpose communications. This port supports SNP and SNPX protocols. On 14-point Micro PLCs, it also supports RTU slave protocol. Port 1 is configured as part of the general parameters for the Micro PLC using the Logicmaster 90 configuration program or the HHP, except for RTU communications, which must be configured by a COMM_REQ function in ladder logic. (For definitions of general parameters, see page 5-2.)

Note

To support RTU Slave protocol on Port 1 of the 14-point Micro PLC, a programmer attach feature is supported. This feature allows connection of the programmer while the port is configured as RTU. For a description of this feature, see “Programmer Attach Feature,” on page 5-20.

COMM_REQs directed to Port 1 of the 14-point Micro PLC will not be processed while the HHP is attached. Any COMM_REQ sent to Port 1 of the 14point Micro PLC when the HHP is attached will be queued and processed when the HHP is removed.

On 23 and 28-point Micro PLCs, Port 2 is provided for general purpose communications using

SNP, SNPX and RTU slave protocols. Port 2 can also be configured as an SNP/SNPX master.

This port can be used to monitor the Micro PLC’s status while programmer functions are being performed on the primary serial port (Port 1). Also, when no programmer is connected through

Port 1, Logicmaster 90 can monitor program execution and read and write data through Port 2.

Port 2 does not have autobaud capability (Port 1 does). On release 3.0 and later 28-point Micro

PLCs, a separate SNP ID for Port 2 can be configured using Logicmaster 90 software release 8.01

or later. On earlier releases, Port 2 shares the SNP ID with Port 1 and the SNP ID can only be changed through Port 1.

Port 2 configuration can be changed through the Logicmaster 90 hardware configuration utility, or by using the COMM_REQ (communications request) function block within a ladder logic program.

Communication Protocols

For detailed descriptions of the protocols used with Series 90 PLCs, refer to the Series 90 PLC

Configuring Serial Ports Using the COMM_REQ Function

The PLC ladder program sends Data Commands using the COMM_REQ function. The

COMM_REQ requires that all its command data be placed in the correct order (in a command

block) in the CPU memory before it is executed. The COMM_REQ should then be executed by a contact of a one-shot coil to prevent sending the data multiple times.

Command Block

A series of Block Move (BLKMV) commands should be used to move the words to create a command block in the Register tables (refer to the Series 90-30/20/Micro Programmable

Controllers Reference Manual, GFK-0467, for information on using the Block Move function).

For details on command blocks for configuring communications, refer to the Series 90™ PLC

Serial Communications User’s Manual, GFK-0582.

The following tables list the command block values required for setting up a Serial Port for SNP,

RTU, and Custom protocols. (All values are in hexadecimal unless otherwise indicated.) The

BLKMV commands that are used to create the command block are described in the example on page 5-16 and shown in Figure 5-1.

Note

The Micro PLC ignores the WAIT flag for all COMM_REQs.

The COMM_REQ function, executed in Rung 6, has four inputs. %T0002 is used to enable the

COMM_REQ function. The IN input points to the starting address of the command block, which is %R0101. The SYS_ID will always be 1. The last input, TASK, points to Port 2 (hexadecimal

0002 or integer 2).

Note

The TASK input on the COMM_REQ function determines which serial port is addressed:

Programmer Attach Feature (14-Point Micro PLCs)

This feature of the RTU Slave protocol allows you to connect a PLC programmer to the port while

RTU Slave is active. When the Micro PLC detects a programmer attachment (requires appropriately configured PLC ID for multidrop connections), the RTU Slave protocol is removed from the port and SNP Slave is installed as the currently active protocol on the port. The programmer connection must have the same serial configuration (i.e., baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc.) as the currently active RTU Slave protocol for it to be recognized. This also means that autobaud will not be supported for initiating a programmer connection. Once the programmer connection has been enabled, normal programmer communications can take place through the port.

Upon a loss of the programmer connection, the most recently established port protocol will be installed as the active protocol on the port. This could be either the RTU Slave protocol (the protocol running before the programmer was attached), a new protocol received through a configuration store, or a new protocol from a Serial Port Setup COMM_REQ. Installing the most recently established port protocol puts that protocol back to its initial state. In the normal case, upon loss of the programmer connection, the RTU Slave protocol will be reinstalled on the port.

It is important to note that there will be a delay of approximately 20 seconds from the time you remove the programmer from the serial line, and the time that it is detected as missing. Therefore, in the normal case mentioned above, there will be an interval after disconnecting the programmer during which no RTU messages can be processed on that port. This delay is implemented to prevent brief periods of signal instability from being mistaken as loss of programmer.

If a new configuration has been stored while the port is attached to the programmer, the newly configured port protocol will become the most recently established protocol and will be installed on the port upon a loss of programmer communications.

Example: If RTU Slave is running on Port 1 at 9600 baud and a PLC programmer (running at

9600 baud) is attached to the port, SNP Slave will be installed on the port, and the programmer will communicate as normal. If during that communications session a configuration store is done which sets up the port for SNP Slave at 4800 baud, this setup will not take effect until the port loses communications with the programmer. Upon loss of programmer communications, the SNP

Slave protocol at 4800 baud will be installed.

Any COMM_REQs sent to the port by the application program while the PLC is attached to the programmer will be processed by the SNP Slave protocol. A COMM_REQ that is supported by the

RTU Slave protocol, but is not supported by SNP Slave, will be rejected. For the case of a Serial

Port Change COMM_REQ, which is supported by both protocols, the new active port protocol supplied by this COMM_REQ will not take effect immediately, but will become the most recently established port protocol. This means that the new port configuration supplied by the Serial Port

Change COMM_REQ will not take effect until the programmer is disconnected.

Configuring ASCII Output

This feature allows the Micro PLC to automatically dial a pager via modem and send a specified byte string from Serial Port 2. Pager dialing and message transmission are set up by COMM_REQ functions in the ladder logic.

Note

To implement this feature, Serial Port 2 must be configured as a CUSTOM port

(see page 5-13).

Pager enunciation is implemented by three commands, requiring three COMM_REQ command blocks:

Autodial: 04400 (1130H) Dials the modem. This command works the same way that the

SNP Master Autodial command 7400 does.

Put string: 04401 (1131H) Specifies an ASCII string, from 1 to 250 bytes in length, to send from the serial port.

Autodial: 04400 (1130H) It is the responsibility of the PLC application program to hang up the phone connection. This is accomplished by reissuing the autodial command and sending the hangup command string.

Autodial Command Block

The Autodial command automatically transmits an Escape sequence that follows the Hayes convention. If you are using a modem that does not support the Hayes convention, you may be able to use the Put String command to dial the modem.

Examples of commonly used command strings for Hayes-compatible modems are listed below:

Command String Length

ATDP15035559999<CR> 16 (10H)

Table 5-7 lists a sample COMM_REQ command block that dials the number 234-5678 using a

Hayes-compatible modem. The ladder logic that creates this command block is shown in Figure

5-2. For a more detailed example of the use of COMM_REQ functions and command blocks, refer to Figure 5-1.

Put String Command Block

Table 5-8 lists a sample COMM_REQ command block that sends the data string, “hello world” using the Put String command (04401). The ladder logic rung that creates this command block is shown in Figure 5-3. A maximum transmit timeout of 30 seconds is specified. The string data begins at Word 10. This command is similar to the Autodial command except that Put String does not send the escape sequence for Hayes-compatible modems.

The Maximum Transmit Timeout field specifies, in seconds, the maximum time interval the

COMM_REQ will wait for the entire string to be sent. If this time is set to 0, a default value of 4 seconds plus the time required to transmit the number of characters is used. If the string is not transmitted during the specified interval or the default interval, an error code is generated.

The Number of Bytes in Command String field specifies the length of the command string to be sent. This length includes all characters. A status code indicating successful transmission will be returned when the string has been completely sent out the serial port.

I/O Link Interface Expansion Unit

Note

The I/O Link IEU (IC693UEX013) is not sold in the United States. This page is for informational purposes only. For details on installation and operation, refer to the documentation provided with the I/O Link IEU.

The I/O Link IEU is a slave device on an I/O link. This device connects to a Micro PLC base unit or to an expansion unit and allows the Micro PLC to reside on an I/O Link network. The I/O Link

IEU receives 32, 64, 128, or 256 inputs from the I/O link and transmits 32, 64, 128, or 256 to the

I/O link. Because the I/O Link IEU has only one expansion connector, it must be the last unit in a chain of expansion units if other units are connected to the same base Micro PLC. This also means that there can be only one I/O Link IEU per Micro PLC.

Any available %Q discrete reference memory address can be used for the output data and any available %I discrete reference memory address can be used for the input data as long as it does not overlap the input reference address of other input devices. The I/O Link IEU’s reference addresses will default to %I0049 and %Q0049 when the Micro PLC’s configuration is defaulted.

If the Micro PLC logs a Loss of Expansion Unit fault while scanning the input data from the I/O

Link IEU, the input reference memory data will be set to all zeros.

Configuring Q1 for PWM or Pulse Output (IC693UDR005/010 and

IC693UAL006)

The high-speed DC output (Q1) can be configured for PWM, pulse train, or HSC output. Counter channel 1 can be configured for only one of these outputs at a time. Because AQUADB counting uses channels 1–3, the PWM and pulse train outputs are not available when a type B counter is configured. (In the sample screen below, PWM is enabled.)

Note

The configurations for HSC, PWM, and Pulse outputs are sent to the CPU when the Micro PLC changes from STOP to RUN mode. When the transition to RUN mode occurs, the currently configured output stops running and the new configuration takes over.

Note

A pulldown resistor, connected between Q1 and COM1, is required for high frequency Pulse and PWM (up to 2Khz) outputs and for duty cycles in the lower ranges (5% and lower). A 1.5 Kohm, 0.5 watt resistor is recommended for this purpose.

PWM Output

PWM output can be used to control DC and stepper motors. You can select the frequency of the

PWM output (19hz to 2Khz) by writing a value to memory location AQ2. The PWM duty cycle

(0 to 100%) is selected by writing a value to memory location AQ3. Sample calculations of PWM duty cycle and frequency are provided in Table 5-12.

Warning

When the Micro PLC goes from RUN to STOP mode, PWM will continue to operate. Also PWM will continue to operate over a power cycle. Therefore, if PWM is running when power is lost, it will run when power is restored.

Sample calculation for PWM Output: The formulas provided with Table 5-12 can be used to determine the value of %AQ3 required at the fastest frequency to produce a minimum ON and

OFF pulse width when the application is primarily concerned with varying the frequency. For example, an application might require a PWM output of 0 to 2Khz with an input device that requires a minimum pulse width of 50µs. With a fixed ON time, the worst-case OFF time occurs at 2Khz. Therefore, the value of AQ3 that will guarantee at least a 50µs OFF pulse width is given by:

OFF time=Period – ON time

50µs OFF=500µs – ON time

Pulse Train Output

You can select the frequency (10Hz to 2Khz) of the pulse train output (PTO) by writing a value (-

32768 to 32767) to memory location AQ123. The number of pulses to be output is selected by writing a value to memory location AQ124.

The pulse train is started when the Q494 bit is set to 1 by the ladder logic program. Starting the pulse train clears I494. When the number of pulses specified in AQ124 has been generated, the

I494 bit will be set to 1 and Q494 will be cleared. For sample pulse train frequency calculations, refer to the table below.

Warning

When the Micro PLC goes from RUN to STOP mode, PTO will continue to operate. Also, PTO will continue to operate over a power cycle. Therefore, if PTO is running when power is lost, it will run when power is restored.

High Speed Counters

The Series 90 Micro PLC has four built-in high speed counters (HSCs). Each counter provides direct processing of rapid pulse signals up to 5KHz for industrial control applications such as meter proving, turbine flowmeter, velocity measurement, material handling, motion control, and process control. This chapter describes the features, operation, and configuration of the HSCs. For electrical and circuit specifications for the HSCs, refer to Chapter 4.

The HSCs are configured using the Series 90-30/20 Hand-Held Programmer or the configuration function provided by the Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro software. Many features can also be configured from the application program. The HSC function can operate in one of two modes:

A4 – four identical, independent simple (type A) counters.

B1–3, A4 – one type B counter (for A-Quad-B counting) and one type A counter.

In either mode, each counter can be enabled independently. Type A counters can be configured for up or down counting (default is up) and for positive or negative edge detection (default is positive). The HSCs run independently of the PLC logic. If the PLC is in STOP mode, outputs that are configured for HSC operation can be configured to operate in one of three failure modes described on page 6-7. Type A counter operation is described on page 6-8, and type B counter operation is described on page 6-14.

Warning

When the Micro PLC goes from RUN to STOP mode, the HSCs will continue to operate. Also, the HSCs will remain in run mode through a power cycle. Therefore, if an HSC is running when power is lost, it will run when power is restored.

High Speed Counter/CPU Interface

During each I/O scan, the HSC automatically sends 15 words (%AI) of Register Data Values and

16 status bits (%I) to the CPU, and the CPU sends 16 bits (%Q) of output data to the HSC.

COMM_REQ function blocks in the user program can be used to send additional data commands to the HSC (See page 6-34).

Registers

Counts per Timebase Register

The Counts per Timebase register indicates the number of counts in a given time interval. The

Counts per Timebase data is a 16-bit signed number. The sign indicates up counts (+) or down counts (–). The timebase value is specified in milliseconds and ranges from 10 to 65535

(increments of 10 milliseconds).

Preload Register

This register is used if the counter’s Preload/Strobe parameter is set to Preload. (Preload and

Strobe cannot be active at the same time.) This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 configuration software or the HHP. It cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.

When a preload input occurs, the configured preload value is inserted into the Accumulator and a

Preload flag is set to indicate this to the CPU. If the application program uses this flag, it should clear the flag before the next preload occurs. The appropriate edge (either rising or falling, depending on configuration) on the Preload input always loads the Accumulator regardless of the state of the Preload flag. In the Preload mode, the Preload/Strobe input is normally used to perform the reset function for each counter. Therefore, the Preload default value has been set to 0

(zero). However, the Preload value can be configured to any value within the counter’s selected range.

If a Preload input occurs, the corresponding Preload Status bit is set. See “Status Bits (%I)” on page 6-5. The application program can monitor this bit, and if necessary, reset it using the Reset

Preload output bit.

The application program can adjust the value in the Accumulator by sending the HSC a

Communications Request (COMM_REQ) from the CPU (see page 6-34). This adjustment can be

any value between –128 and +127. The adjustment value is summed with the contents of the

Accumulator. Alternately, the value in the Accumulator can be set in the Logicmaster 90

Configuration software, duplicating the preload functionality.

Note

If a count is received at the same time the CPU adjusts the Accumulator value, the count will be lost. This happens because the CPU must read the

Accumulator, add the specified adjustment value, and write back to it, during which time received counts are ignored.

GFK-1065F Chapter 6 High Speed Counters 6-3

6

Strobe Register

This register is used if the counter’s Preload/Strobe parameter is set to Strobe. (Preload and Strobe cannot be active at the same time.) This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 configuration software or the HHP. It cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.

When the Strobe signal goes active, the current value in the Accumulator is stored in the associated Strobe register and a Strobe flag (status bit) is set to indicate to the CPU that a Strobe value was captured. This value remains in the Strobe register until the Strobe signal goes active again and is overwritten. The Strobe flag stays on until the application program clears it. The

Strobe input always updates the Strobe register with the latest Accumulator value regardless of the state of the Strobe flag.

Data Automatically Sent to the HSC (%Q)

Once each I/O scan, the CPU sends 16 bits (%Q) of data to the HSC. The application program can use these %Q references to send commands to the HSC. The %Q data format for the counter is shown below.

Set by the CPU to clear an error after it has been acknowledged. It clears errors for all counters.

Clears the HSC’s corresponding Strobe input status bit. For example, Reset

Strobe bit 1 is used to reset the HSC’s Strobe status bit 1. If the corresponding

Strobe input status changes to 1, the program logic should set this bit to 1 and then back to 0 on the next I/O scan.

Clears the HSC’s corresponding Preload input status bit. For example, reset

Preload bit 1 is used to reset the HSC’s Preload status bit 1. If the corresponding Preload input status changes to 1, the program logic should set this bit to 1 and then back to 0 on the next I/O scan.

In addition to the %Q discrete output data that is sent every sweep to the HSC, commands can be sent by the CPU (using the COMM_REQ function in the ladder diagram) to change some of the operating parameters of the counters. For a description of how to use the COMM_REQ function, see page 6-34.

Output Failure Mode

This parameter applies to all counters, no matter what their configuration. When the Micro PLC transitions from RUN to STOP mode for any reason, the HSC outputs respond according to the setting of this parameter:

NORMAL (default setting) The inputs will continue to be processed and the outputs will continue to operate under control of the counters. If Normal is selected, the transition from

RUN to STOP mode has no effect on counter outputs.

FRCOFF All outputs will be forced off. The counters will continue to operate but will not change the state of the outputs.

HOLD The HSCs retain the last state of the output points before the PLC stopped. The counters will continue to operate but will not change the states of the outputs.

These responses remain in effect until the Micro PLC returns to the RUN mode.

Type A Counter Operation

Type A Counter Overview

Each type A counter consists of one 16-bit Accumulator that can be programmed to count either up or down. The counter accepts two inputs: (The Accumulator can also be changed by loading a new value from the CPU or by applying a Preset Input.)

A Count input that increments or decrements a 16-bit Accumulator. The count input can be configured to be positive current or negative current edge-sensitive.

Preload/Strobe input that either preloads a user-defined value into the Accumulator or strobes the Accumulator into a register. The Preload/Strobe signal can be configured to be positive current or negative current edge-sensitive.

The counter has one output with programmable on and off presets.

Details of the Type A counter are shown in Figure 6-1. The counter has an Accumulator register, a Counts per Timebase register, one Strobe register, and one set of ON/OFF Preset values.

Type A Operating Parameters

How the HSC function operates depends on how its operating parameters are configured. For example, the figure below illustrates the case where the counter has been configured to count on the low to high transition of the A PULSE input. The COUNT signal represents an internal signal that indicates where counting occurs with respect to the pulse input.

The following paragraphs describe how the operating parameters affect the operation of an A-type counter. For details on configuring the parameters, refer to “Configuration” on page 6-20.

Counter Enable/Disable

When disabled, the HSC is inactive and the output associated with the counter is available to the user program. When enabled, the HSC is active and its output is dependent on the Output Enable parameter. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Counter Output Enable/Disable

When disabled, the HSC output is available to the user program. When enabled, the output is reserved for the HSC and cannot be controlled by the user program. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Preload/Strobe

If Preload is selected, the configured Preload Value will be loaded into the Accumulator when the

Preload/Strobe signal is active. If Strobe is selected, the Accumulator value is placed in the strobe register when the Preload/Strobe signal is active. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster

90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

GFK-1065F Chapter 6 High Speed Counters 6-9

6-10

6

Count Mode

Each counter has programmable count limits that define its range (Hi Limit and Lo Limit). The counter can either count continuously within these limits, or count to either limit, then stop. This parameter applies only to A-type counters and is ignored for B-type counters.

Note

If n is the desired number of pulses to be counted, you must configure the counter so that high limit = n–1 for up-counting, or low limit = n+1 for downcounting.

Continuous (default) The Accumulator wraps when the n+1 (or n-1) count is reached and continues counting. For example, if the Count Direction is UP and the Hi Limit is n, the

Accumulator will wrap to the Lo Limit when it reaches n+1.

One-Shot The counter stops at 1 past the limit (i.e. at n+1 if n is the high limit, and n–1 if

n is the low limit). When the counter is at the limit, counts in the opposite direction will count it back off the limit.

In either mode, when the counter is at the limit, counts in the opposite direction will count it back off the limit. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Count Direction

Each A-type counter can be configured to count either up (the Accumulator increments for each count received) or down (the accumulator decrements for each count). The default is up.

Strobe/Count Edge

For A-type counters, Strobe and Count inputs are edge sensitive. Each Strobe and Count input on the module can be individually configured to have either the positive or the negative edge active.

By default, they are positive-edge sensitive. (These parameters must be set by the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP; they cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Positive (default) A count occurs on a positive-to-negative transition.

Negative A count occurs on a negative-to-positive transition.

Counter Time Base

For each counter, the time base represents a span of time that can be used to measure the rate of counting. For example, the program could be required to monitor the number of count pulses that occur during a 30-second interval.

A timebase from 10 msec to 65535 msec can be selected for each counter. The counter timebase is set to 1 second (1000 msec) by default. The module stores the number of counts that occurred during the last-completed timebase interval in the Counts/Timebase register. Up counts are positive (+) and down counts are negative (-). The range of the Counts/Timebase register is –

Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

6

32768 and +32767 counts. The timebase value selected should not allow the Counts/Timebase register to overflow at the maximum count frequency. If it does, the sign of the Counts/Timebase will change from (+) to (–) or (–) to (+).

Anytime you modify the counter configuration using the COMM_REQ function, you will cause the counts/timebase value to be reset, except for changes to On/Off Presets and Preload. For example: If Count Direction is changed for an A-type counter, the counts/timebase value is reset.

Count Limits

Each counter must be assigned upper and lower count limits. Default values are 0 (Lo Limit) and

32767 (Hi Limit). All Accumulator preload values and output on/off preset values must lie within these limits. Both the Hi and Lo limits can be positive, or both can be negative, but the high limit is always greater than the low limit.

When setting the limits using the COMM_REQ function, the Hi Limit must be greater than or equal to Lo Limit, On Preset, Off Preset, Preload, and current Accumulator value. The Lo Limit must be less than or equal to Hi Limit, On Preset, Off Preset, Preload, and current Accumulator value. (The Logicmaster 90 configuration software and the HHP will not allow you to set incompatible limits.)

If a COMM_REQ sets new limits that are incompatible, they will be rejected and the old limits retained. In this case a counter limit error code will be returned. To avoid this situation when the limits are changed one at a time, a good rule to follow is: always move the high limit first when shifting the limits up and always move the low limit first when shifting them down.

The limit range for both Type A and Type B counters is –32,768 to +32,767.

Output Preset Points

Each counter output has a preset ON and OFF point which must be located between the Hi and Lo limits. The output state indicates when the Accumulator value is between the ON and OFF Preset points.

For example: a43003

Note

If your program issues a COMM_REQ that changes count direction, the counter will go immediately into the new mode. You should be aware that the output does not change states at exactly the same points on an Up-counter as it does on a Down-counter.

The output takes the value of the On or Off preset after the Accumulator has gone through the preset point (n+1 for an up counter and n-1 for a down counter).

Preload Value

When a preload input occurs, the configured preload value is inserted into the Accumulator and a

Preload flag is set to indicate this to the CPU. The preload value can be configured to any value within the counter’s selected range.

For each counter, you can specify a starting count value that will be used when the Preload input is activated. This value must be located between the Hi and Lo limits. The Accumulator is initialized to the Preload value on a STOP to RUN transition. (The default value is 0.)

GFK-1065F Chapter 6 High Speed Counters 6-13

6

Type B Counter Operation

The primary difference between a type B counter and a type A counter is the way counting is handled to generate a change to the Accumulator. A type A counter simply counts input pulses and increments or decrements the Accumulator. A type B counter uses two input signals for A-

Quad-B counting.

A-Quad-B Counting

If a counter is configured for A-Quad-B counting, a count occurs for each transition of either A or

B. There are four counts for each A-Quad-B cycle. Counts are evenly spaced with respect to the input waveforms when the phase relationship between A and B is shifted by 1/4 cycle. The phase relationship between A and B determines count direction, as shown below.

The count direction is up if A leads B.

The count direction is down if A lags B.

Type B Counter Overview

As shown in Figure 6-2, the Micro PLC’s B-type counter has a Preload/Strobe input (I6), two

Count Pulse inputs, and one output with On/Off Presets (Q1). The type B counter has a Strobe

Register, a 16-bit Accumulator, and a Counts-per-Timebase Register. The maximum count rate is

5 KHz.

Type B Operating Parameters

The following paragraphs describe how the operating parameters affect the operation of a B-type counter. (The following parameters have no effect on the operation of a B-type counter even though they can be changed in the configuration software screens: Count Mode, Count Edge, and

Count Direction.)

For details on configuring the parameters, refer to “Configuration,” which begins on page 6-20.

Counter Enable/Disable

When disabled, the HSC is inactive and the output associated with the counter is available to the user program. When enabled, the HSC is active and its output is dependent on the Output Enable parameter. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Counter Output Enable/Disable

When disabled, the HSC output is available to the user program. When enabled, the output is reserved for the HSC and can not be controlled by the user program. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Preload/Strobe

If preload is selected, the configured Preload Value will be loaded into the Accumulator when the

Preload/Strobe signal is active. If Strobe is selected, the Accumulator value is placed in the strobe register when the Preload/Strobe signal is active. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster

90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Count Mode

This parameter applies to only to A-type counters and is ignored for the B-type counter. The

B-type counter always counts in continuous mode. The Accumulator wraps when the n+1 (or n-1) count is reached and continues counting. For example, if the Hi Limit is n, the Accumulator will wrap to the Lo Limit when it reaches n+1. When the counter is at the limit, counts in the opposite direction will count it back off the limit.

Note

If n is the desired number of pulses to be counted, you must configure the counter so that high limit = n–1 for up-counting, or low limit = n+1 for downcounting.

Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

GFK-1065F

6

Strobe Edge

Each Strobe input on the module can be individually configured to have either the positive or the negative edge active. By default, they are positive-edge sensitive. (This parameter must be set by the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP; it cannot be changed by a COMM_REQ.)

Positive (default) A count occurs on a positive-to-negative transition.

Negative A count occurs on a negative-to-positive transition.

Counter Time Base

A timebase from 10 msec to 65535 msec can be selected. The counter timebase is set to 1 second

(1000 msec) by default. The module stores the number of counts that occurred during the lastcompleted timebase interval in the Counts/Timebase register. Up counts are positive (+) and down counts are negative (-). The range of the Counts/Timebase register is –32768 and +32767 counts.

The timebase value selected should not allow the Counts/Timebase register to overflow at the maximum count frequency. If it does, the sign of the Counts/Timebase will change from (+) to (–) or (–) to (+).

For a B-type counter, the counts per timebase value represents the relative shift over the sample time, not the exact number of counts. This value indicates a relative change in position. For example, if the counter starts at 10, counts up to 20, and then counts back to 15, the resulting counts per timebase is 5.

Count Limits

Each counter can be assigned upper and lower count limits. All Accumulator preload values and output on/off preset values must lie within these limits. Both the Hi and Lo limits can be positive, or both can be negative, but the high limit is always greater than the low limit.

When setting the limits using the COMM_REQ function, the Hi Limit must be greater than or equal to Lo Limit, On Preset, Off Preset, Preload, and current Accumulator value. The Lo Limit must be less than or equal to Hi Limit, On Preset, Off Preset, Preload, and current Accumulator value. (The Logicmaster 90 configuration software and the HHP will not allow you to set incompatible limits.)

Chapter 6 High Speed Counters 6-17

6

If a COMM_REQ sets new limits that are incompatible, they will be rejected and the old limits retained. In this case a counter limit error code will be returned. To avoid this situation when the limits are changed one at a time, a good rule to follow is: always move the high limit first when shifting the limits up and always move the low limit first when shifting them down.

The limit range for both Type A and Type B counters is –32,768 to +32,767.

Output Preset Points

Each counter output has a preset ON and OFF point which must be located between the Hi and Lo limits. The output state indicates when the Accumulator value is between the ON and OFF preset points. For example: a43003

As the following example shows, the output can be either on or off when the Accumulator value lies between the Preset points. The output takes the value of the On or Off preset after the

Accumulator has gone through the preset point (n+1 when counting up and n-1 when counting down).

Note

You should be aware that the output does not change states at the same points when the Accumulator is increasing as it does when it is decreasing (see the figures below). The exception to this is when the Preload input activates (as when a COMM_REQ within the program changes the Accumulator); in this case the waveform will change state at the preset point instead of at 1 past the preset.

Preload Value

For each counter, you can specify a starting count value that will be used when the Preload input is activated. This value must be located between the Hi and Lo limits. The Accumulator is initialized to the Preload value on a STOP to RUN transition. (The default value is 0.)

GFK-1065F Chapter 6 High Speed Counters 6-19

Configuration

Note

When the Micro PLC changes from STOP to RUN mode, the configurations for

HSC, PWM, and Pulse outputs are sent to the HSC from the CPU. This has the net result of stopping the currently running counters, reconfiguring all counters to the current CPU configurations, and restarting them according to the new configuration.

When the Series 90 Micro PLC first powers up, it has default values for all the HSC parameters.

To meet the requirements of most applications, the HSCs will have to be configured before they can be used.

Configuration of the HSC can be accomplished in three ways:

Using the configuration function in the Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro software package (page

6-24).

Using the Series 90-30 Hand-Held Programmer (screens are shown beginning on page 6-27).

Sending data using the COMM_REQ command in ladder logic programs (see page 6-34). If configuration is to be done using a COMM_REQ, the counters must first be enabled in the

HHP or Logicmaster 90 software configuration.

Tables 6-4 through 6-6 list the configuration parameters for the HSC function and the abbreviations for those parameters as they are displayed on the Hand-Held Programmer and in the

Logicmaster 90 screens. For details on how these parameters control operation of A-type counters, refer to page 6-9; for B-type counters, refer to page 6-16.

Logicmaster 90 Software

The HSC parameters are shown in the following configuration screens.

Refer to the Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466, for details on the use of the configuration software.

I/O Scanner and Counter Type Configuration

The first HSC screen, shown below, displays the counter types, failure mode, and I/O configuration.

Counter types. The counter function can operate with four type A counters (A4), or with one type

B counter and one type A counter (B1-3, A4).

Failure mode. This parameter selects the state the outputs will assume when the PLC transitions from RUN to STOP mode. These responses remain in effect until the Micro PLC returns to the

RUN mode.

NORMAL (default setting): The inputs will continue to be processed and the outputs will continue to operate under control of the counters. If Normal is selected, the transition from RUN to STOP mode has no effect on counter outputs.

FRCOFF: All outputs will be forced off. The counters will continue to operate but will not change the state of the outputs.

HOLD: The HSCs retain the last state of the output points before the PLC stopped. The counters will continue to operate but will not change the state of the outputs.

The I/O configuration (View Only Parameters) cannot be modified.

6-24 Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

Counter-specific Configuration

Examples of configuration screens for a type A counter and a type B counter are provided in this section. For details on how these parameters control operation of A-type counters, refer to page 6-

9; for B-type counters, refer to page 6-16.

Type A Counter

Type A counters 1–4 are all configured in the same way, with the exception of Counter 1 in models that have Pulse and PWM output (IC693UDR005/010 and IC693UAL006).

The following screen presents the parameters for a type A Counter 1 in a Micro PLC that has

Pulse and PWM output. Configuration for counters in other relay-output Micro PLCs is the same except for these two outputs.

To proceed to the screen for the next counter, press the P

Type B Counter

In the following screen, the B1–3, A4 counter configuration is selected. (In the B1–3, A4 configuration, counters 1–3 form a single type B counter.)

The following screen presents the configuration parameters for the type B counter. (On DC-output

Micro PLCs, Pulse and PWM outputs are not available when the type B counter is configured.)

Refer to Table 6-6 for parameter definitions. For details on how these parameters control operation of B-type counters, refer to page 6-16.

COMM_REQ Function

In addition to the %Q discrete output data that is sent every sweep to the HSC, commands can be sent by the CPU (using the COMM_REQ function block) to change some of the operating parameters of the counters. These commands are all 6 bytes in length.

The PLC ladder program sends Data Commands using the COMM_REQ (Communication

Request) function. The COMM_REQ requires that all its command data be placed in the correct order (in a command block) in the CPU memory before it is executed. It should then be executed by a one-shot coil to prevent sending the data to the HSC multiple times.

The COMM_REQ function is effective only on counters that are enabled.

Command Block

The format for Data Commands is as follows:

MSB LSB command word 0n cc data word (LSW) dd dd data word (MSW) dd dd where: n=counter 1-4 cc=subcommand code dd=data type

Always 0000

The command block used to send Data Commands is composed of 13 words arranged as shown in

Table 6-7 (all values in hexadecimal unless otherwise indicated). Use the Block Move (BLKMV) function to move these values to the Register tables (see the Series 90-30/20/Micro

Programmable Controllers Reference Manual, GFK-0467, for information on using the BLKMV and COMM_REQ functions).

02 02 (hex) or 514 (decimal)

02 03 (hex) or 515 (decimal)

Command Code = 01H

Used to set any value within counter limits directly into the Accumulator.

Example: To set Counter 3 to 1234H, load COMM_REQ command registers with:

Command word: 0301

LS data word: 1234

Command Code = 02H

Command Code = 03H

Used to set the Hi and Lo limits to any value within the counter range.

Example: To change the upper limit of counter 4 to 10000 (2710H), load registers with:

Command word: 0402

LS data word: 2710

Note: If the limits are loaded in the wrong order, they could be rejected and cause an error flag to be set. To avoid this, remember to always move the Lo Limit first when shifting the limits down or the Hi Limit first when shifting the limits up. Also, if the new value of the Hi/Lo limit is out of range with the current Accumulator value, the load operation will be rejected. It is only successful if all parameters, including the current Accumulator value, are within the new Hi/Lo range.

Load Acc Increment

Set Cntr Direction

Load Timebase

Load ON Preset

Load Preload

Command Code = 04H

Used to offset a counter Accumulator by a small number of counts (up to +127 or –128). Only the least significant byte of data is used with this command.

Example: To offset counter 3 by –7 counts, load:

Command word: 0304

LS data word: 00F9

This can be done at any time, even while the counter is counting at maximum rate. If the offset causes the counter to exceed its limits, this parameter will be rejected. If a count is received at the same time the CPU updates the Accumulator value, the count will be lost.

Command Code = 05H

Used to change the count direction (up or down) of a type A counter. Only the LSB of the first data word is used for this command (00 = up, 01 = down).

Example: To set the direction of counter 4 to down, load:

Command word: 0405

LS data word: 0001

Command Code = 06H

Used to change the time interval referenced by the counter when computing its counts/timebase register data.

Example: To change the timebase for counter 2 to 600 ms (258H), load:

Command word: 0206

LS data word: 0258

Note: The maximum range of the counts/timebase (CTB) register is +32767 and –32768 counts.

The length of the timebase and the maximum count frequency should be coordinated so that these limits are not exceeded. The indication will roll over from (+) to (–) or (–) to (+) if exceeded.

Command Code = 0BH

Command Code = 15H

Used to set up the output turn on/off points within the counter range. There is one output associated with each counter.

Example: To set counter 3 output to turn on at 5000 (1388H) counts, load:

Command Code: 030B

LS data word: 1388 and off at 12000 (2EE0H) counts, load:

Command Code: 0315

LS data word: 2EE0

Command Code = 1FH

Used to change the count value that will be loaded into the counter Accumulator when the Preload input is activated.

Example: To make counter 2 start at 2500 (09C4H) counts at its preload signal, load:

Load Acc Increment

Command Code = 01H

Used to set any value within counter limits directly into the Accumulator. (If a count is received at the same time the CPU updates the Accumulator value, the count will be lost. This happens because the CPU must read the Accumulator, increment it, and write back to it, during which time received counts are ignored.)

Example: To set Counter 1 to 2211H, load COMM_REQ command registers with:

Command word: 0101

LS data word: 2211

Command Code = 02H

Command Code = 03H

Used to set the Hi and Lo limits to any value within the counter range.

Example: To change the upper limit of counter 1 to 1690 (4240H), load registers with:

Command word: 0103

LS data word: 4240

Note: If the limits are loaded in the wrong order, they could be rejected and cause an error flag to be set. To avoid this, remember to always move the Lo Limit first when shifting the limits down or the Hi Limit first when shifting the limits up. Also, if the new value of the Hi/Lo limit is out of range with the current Accumulator value, the load operation will be rejected. It is only successful if all parameters, including the current Accumulator Value, are within the new Hi/Lo range.

Command Code = 04H

Used to offset a counter Accumulator by a small number of counts (up to +127 or –128).

Example: To offset counter 1 by 9 counts, load:

Command word: 0104

LS data word: 0009

This can be done at any time, even while the counter is counting at maximum rate. If the offset causes the counter to exceed its limits, this parameter will be rejected. If a count is received at the same time the CPU updates the Accumulator value, the count will be lost.

Example

The COMM_REQ function is conditionally executed in the ladder logic to communicate a request to the HSC. A sample ladder diagram for configuring the HSC function is provided in Figure 6-3.

In this example, the Accumulator for Counter 3 is loaded with 1234.

Rung 4 uses a one-shot coil (%T0002) to execute the COMM_REQ once. This prevents multiple messages from being sent.

Rung 5 contains the Block Move Word function and is used to load the commands, which are listed in Tables 6- 8 and 6-9. In this example, %R0101 through %R0114 are used for the

COMM_REQ command block. (Any registers can be used except for %R1617 through

%R1814, which are reserved.)

The COMM_REQ function, executed in Rung 6, has four inputs and one output.

Application Examples–RPM Indicator

An RPM indicator is a typical application for a type A HSC.

Feature used: Counts/Timebase Register

The HSC can be used as a position/motion indicator when connected to a feedback device (such as an encoder) that is coupled to a rotary motion. RPM indication can be obtained directly from the counter’s Counts/Timebase register (CTB) or derived from it by a simple calculation.

RPM is calculated by:

RPM

=

CTB

PPR

×

T where: CTB = counts/timebase reading from the counter

PPR = pulses/revolution produced by the feedback device

T = timebase expressed in minutes

Note that if the pulses/revolution is some integer power of 10, then setting the timebase for 6, 60,

600, 6000, or 60,000 will yield a direct reading of RPM in the CTB register with an assumed decimal placement.

Example 1

If feedback produces 1000 pulses/revolution, CTB reading = 5210, and the timebase is configured for 600ms: then T = 600ms / 60000ms/min = .01 and 1/T = 100

RPM

=

5210

1000

×

100

=

521

CTB reading is RPM with .1 RPM resolution.

Example 2

Assume the same conditions as example 1, except the timebase is now set to 60ms, which gives

T = 60/60000 = .0001 and 1/T = 1000.

Because the rotation is at the same speed as in example 1, the CTB reading now equals 521 and

RPM

=

521

1000

×

1000

=

521

CTB reading is now RPM with 1 RPM resolution.

Application Example — Input Capture

The HSC strobe inputs can act as pulse catch inputs for inputs 2, 4, 6, and 8, by using the Strobe

Status bits as a latch.

To use this feature:

1.

Configure the Micro PLC to use the HSC function with Strobe input.

2.

Enable A-type counter(s). (Any or all of the counters can be enabled.)

The corresponding Strobe Status bit will be latched if there is a pulse of at least 100 µ sec in width.

The Reset Strobe bits can be used as clear functions for the latched status bits.

Example: To capture pulses on input I2, enable Counter 1 and configure strobe for the

Pld/strobe parameter (see “Configuration” in this chapter). You can also configure POS

(positive) or NEG (negative) for the Strobe Edge parameter.

The Strobe Status bit (%I498) will be latched if there is a 100 microsecond or longer pulse on

I2. To clear this bit, the logic program should write a 1, followed by a 0, to the corresponding output to the HSC (%Q498).

(For other inputs, see “Status Bits (%I)” on page 6-5.)

Analog I/O

The 23-point Micro PLC (IC693UAL006) features two analog input channels and an output channel, which can be configured in voltage or current mode. The analog I/O function can be configured by the Logicmaster 90 configuration software or by the HHP.

The following topics are discussed in this chapter:

Overview

The two input analog channels use a 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter. The Micro

PLC firmware translates counts from two input channels of the A/D converter into values that are stored in %AI0018 and %AI0019 (Figure 7-1).

As a part of the analog input scan, the firmware calculates the %AI register value using the following formula:

%AI = (A/D count X Gain) + Offset where Gain and Offset are internally calibrated values (refer to page 7-Calibration for information about calibration).

Any calculated value exceeding 32,767 is clamped at that maximum value. Any calculated value less than 0 will be clamped at 0.

Figure 7-1. Analog Input Channel

To generate the analog output, the value in %AQ0012 is translated into a count value for the D/A converter, which drives the analog output (Figure 7-2). Table 7-1 lists the ranges of values in the

PLC analog register and the corresponding quantities on the analog I/O point.

As part of the analog output scan, the firmware will calculate the D/A value using the following formula:

D/A count = (%AQ X Gain) + Offset where Gain and Offset are internally calibrated values.

Any calculated value that exceeds 4095 will be clamped at that maximum value. Any calculated value less than 0 will be clamped at 0.

Calibration

Note

The Analog I/O function is factory calibrated. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary to change the calibration. Do not attempt the procedures in this section unless you are familiar with the operation of D/A and A/D converters.

Four calibration values for each analog channel are loaded into the Micro PLC flash memory at the factory: voltage mode gain, voltage mode offset, current mode gain, and current mode offset. These calibration values can be changed through a Service Request (SVCREQ) function. You can calibrate the gain and offset values up to 50 times by following the calibration procedure described in this section. If further calibration is necessary after the allocated number of tries is exhausted, another set of 50 tries can be made available by updating the firmware.

Default Gains and Offsets

A set of default gains and offsets is maintained in the PLC firmware in case you want to restore these values for calibration or for other reasons.

For the input channel, in voltage mode, the %AI range of 0 to 32,000 corresponds to 0 to 1,000 counts of the A/D converter. Therefore, the default input voltage gain is 32 and offset is 0. In current mode, the %AI range of 0 to 500 corresponds to 0 to 32,000 counts, so that default current gain is 64 and offset is 0.

The values for the A/D converter are fixed. In voltage mode, the input channel A/D range of 0 to

1,000 counts corresponds to a 0 to 10,000mV input signal. Therefore, the default input voltage gain is 10 and offset is 0. In current mode, the input channel A/D range of 0 to 500 counts corresponds to a 0 to 20,000µA input signal, for a gain of 40 and an offset of 0.

Input Channel Formula: %AI = (A/D count x Default Gain) + Offset

For the output channel, the D/A range of 0 to 4,000 corresponds to a range of 0 – 32,000 in %AQ, giving a gain of 0.125 and an offset of 0 for both modes.

The values for the D/A converter are fixed. The output channel D/A range of 0 to 4,000 counts corresponds to 0 to 10,000mV in voltage mode and to 0 to 20,000µA in current mode. Therefore, the default output voltage gain is 2.5 and current gain is 5, leaving offsets of 0 for both modes.

Calibration Procedure

To perform the calibration procedures you will need a precision analog meter (1mV voltage accuracy and 1µA current accuracy).

Calibration of Input Channels

For each channel, the procedure consists of the following steps:

1 .

Apply a reference voltage or current at a low range to the input. (The reference signal must be measured precisely by a precision analog meter.) Record the value.

2 .

For the channel being calibrated, read the %AI register and record the low value.

3 .

Apply a reference voltage or current at a high range to the input. Precisely measure the reference signal and record the value.

4 .

For the channel being calibrated, read the %AI register and record the high value.

5.

Store the calculated gain and offset values in RAM or flash memory using a SVCREQ instruction. (See “Storing Calibration Constants.”)

The Micro PLC firmware will automatically calculate the calibration gain and offset using the following formulas:

Calibration of Output Channels

For each channel, the procedure consists of the following steps:

1 .

Write a low value to the %AQ register.

2 .

At the output, measure the voltage or current using a precision analog meter and record the value.

3 .

Write a high value to the %AQ register.

4 .

At the output, measure the voltage or current using a precision analog meter and record the value.

5.

Storing Calibration Constants

The final step of calibrating an analog channel consists of storing the calibration values in flash memory. This step requires the use of two SVCREQ functions:

SVCREQ 34 signals the Micro PLC to enter calibration mode. When SVCREQ 34 is received, the PLC uses default gain and offset so that you can start the calibration process. No parameter block is needed.

SVCREQ 35 performs the calibration. This function requires a parameter block containing the calibration data and control data. Based on these inputs, the PLC computes the gain and offset for each channel and mode specified. When the calibration SVCREQ is successfully completed, the new calibration values will take effect.

The parameter block for SVCREQ 35 contains the 32 input words and 2 output words listed in

Table 7-5. After the SVCREQ function executes, the PLC returns the function status and the number of tries available to the 2 output words.

Note

The third parameter in the block, Destination Control (at address +2), determines whether to write the constants in flash or in RAM. You can select the RAM option and calibrate as many times as necessary without burning the calibration constants into the flash memory. When you are satisfied with the calibration, you can select the flash option and finalize the calibration process. When the flash option is selected, the calibration data is copied into RAM as well as burned into flash memory.

It is important to issue a SVCREQ with the flash option selected in the

Destination Control parameter field once the desired calibration state is reached.

Otherwise, the new calibration values will be lost when the unit is powered off.

For detailed information on using SVCREQ functions, refer to the Series 90-30/20/Micro

Programmable Controllers Reference Manual, GFK-0467.

SVCREQ Parameters enable

When enable is energized, the requested service is performed.

FNC contains the constant or reference for the requested service. This can be any type of memory except for %S.

PARM contains the beginning reference for the parameter block for the requested service. This can be any type of word memory (%R, %AI, or %AQ)

The ok output is energized when the function is performed without error.

System Operation

This chapter describes system operations of the Series 90 Micro PLC. It includes a discussion of the PLC system sweep sequences, the system power-up and power-down sequences, system clocks and timers, system security through password assignment, and the I/O system.

PLC Sweep Summary

The logic program in a PLC executes in a repetitive fashion until stopped by a command from the programmer or by a command from another device, such as a host computer. This repetitive cycle, which includes the sequence of operations necessary to execute a program one time, is called a

sweep. In addition to executing the logic program, the sweep includes obtaining data from input devices, sending data to output devices, performing internal housekeeping, and servicing the programmer (see Figure 8-1).

The following configuration items affect the Series 90 Micro PLC sweep:

Stop Mode: Stop with I/O Disabled Stop with I/O Enabled

Sweep Time Contribution

Five items contribute to the sweep time of the PLC. The sweep time consists of fixed times

(housekeeping and diagnostics) and variable times. The variable times vary according to the I/O configuration, size of the user program, and the type of programming device connected to the PLC.

Housekeeping

The housekeeping portion of the sweep performs all of the tasks necessary to prepare for the start of the sweep. If the PLC is in the constant sweep mode, the sweep will be delayed until the required sweep time elapses. If the required time has already elapsed, the ov_swp %SA0002 contact is set and the sweep continues without delay.

Next, the timer values (hundredths, tenths, and seconds) are updated by calculating the difference between the start of the previous sweep and the new sweep time. To maintain accuracy, the actual start of sweep is recorded in 100 microsecond increments. Each timer has a remainder field which contains the number of 100 microsecond ticks that have occurred since the last time the timer value was incremented.

Input Scan

During this part of the sweep, all Series 90 Micro inputs are scanned, from lowest to highest reference address, and their data stored in %I (discrete inputs) or %AI (analog inputs) memory, as appropriate. The %AI1 through %AI15 analog inputs are used by the High Speed Counter. If the

CPU is in STOP mode and the I/OScan-Stop parameter is configured to NO, the input scan will be skipped.

GFK-1065F Chapter 8 System Operation 8-3

8

Program Execution

The application program is executed by the microprocessor on the CPU board. The logic solution always begins with the first instruction in the application program immediately following the completion of the input scan. Solving the logic provides a new set of outputs. The logic solution ends when the END instruction is executed.

The program control capabilities provided by the Control functions are described in the Series 90-

30/20/Micro Programmable Controllers Reference Manual, GFK-0467, and in the Hand-Held

Programmer User’s Manual for Series 90-30/90-20 Programmable Controllers, GFK-0402. A list of execution times for each programming function can be found in Appendix A.

Output Scan

During the output scan, Micro PLC outputs are scanned from lowest to highest reference address.

Outputs are updated using data from the %Q (for discrete outputs) memories. The output scan is completed when all output data has been sent to all Micro PLC outputs.

If the CPU is in STOP mode and the I/OScan-Stop parameter is configured to NO, the output scan will be skipped and outputs will be cleared.

If the CPU is in STOP mode with I/O scan enabled (I/OScan-Stop configured to YES), the scan is executed, and the outputs will be updated using data from the %Q memories.

Programmer Service

This part of the sweep is dedicated to communicating with the programmer. If there is a programmer attached, the CPU executes the Programmer Communications Window (Figure 8-2).

Support is provided for the HHP and for other programmers that can connect to the serial port and use the Series Ninety Protocol (SNP) protocol.

The CPU performs one operation for the programmer each sweep, that is, it honors one service request or responds to one key press. If the programmer makes a request that requires more than 6 milliseconds to process, the request processing will be spread out over several sweeps so that no sweep is impacted by more than 6 milliseconds.

Deviations from the Standard Program Sweep

The user can select certain deviations from the Standard Program Sweep by configuration or by program instructions. These variations are described in the following paragraphs.

No

Constant Sweep Time Mode

In the Standard Program Sweep, each sweep executes as quickly as possible with a varying amount of time consumed each sweep. An alternative to this is the Constant Sweep Time mode. In the

Constant Sweep Time mode, each sweep consumes the same amount of time, which can be selected during configuration to be from 5 to 200 milliseconds. For more information on the constant sweep timer, refer to “Clocks and Timers” on page 8-11.

PLC Sweep When in STOP Mode

When the PLC is in STOP mode, the application program is not executed. In this mode, you can choose whether or not the I/O is scanned, and communications with the programmer will continue.

For efficiency, the operating system uses larger time-slice values than those that are typically used in RUN mode (usually about 50 ms per window).

Software Structure

The Series 90 software structure supports program execution and basic housekeeping tasks such as diagnostic routines, input/output scanners, and alarm processing. The operating system also contains routines to communicate with the programmer; these routines provide for the uploading and downloading of application programs, return of status information, and control of the PLC. The application (user logic) program, which controls the end process to which the PLC is applied, is called a control program.

Program Structure

Each control program is comprised of a single program block. This includes the user program and some system overhead. The program block must be less than or equal to 3K words (14-point units) or 6K words (23-point and 28 point units).

Data Structure

The Series 90 Micro PLC has nine data memories, each designed for a specific purpose. The following table lists these memories. (For a list of reserved memory addresses, see Appendix B.)

Notes for Discrete Memory Definitions

Temporary, %T, references are not saved across a power failure; that is, they are nonretentive. %M and %Q memories are retentive unless used with a “normal” coil,

––( )––, which is non-retentive. Retentive memory is backed up by a super cap (14-point) or lithium battery (23-point and 28-point). For performance specifications for the super cap and battery, see “Specifications” in Chapter 2.

User internals (%M) are useful when the coil in a rung is only required to be used later in the logic solution as conditional logic and not outside the PLC. The following example shows %I0012 and %I0016 being used to set user internal %M0005, similar to the use of a control relay in electromechanical logic.

|%I0012 %I0016 %M0005

|

System discretes (S, SA, SB, SC) include: system bits, used internally by the CPU; fault

bits, for holding system fault data; and reserved bits, for future system expansion.

Many of the fault bits are referenced by the application program to determine what faults exist in the Series 90 Micro PLC system. Examples of these fault contacts are over sweep condition (ov_swp), and low battery (low_bat). The first scan contact (fst_scn) also resides here. Refer to Chapter 9 for more information on Fault bits.

Transition bits are discrete memory locations used internally by the PLC when solving logic that involves transitional coils. This data is not accessible to the user. The PLC sets and resets this transition data based upon changes in the associated status table.

Powerup and Power-Down Sequence

Powerup Sequence

The powerup sequence for the Micro PLC consists of the following events, as shown in Figure 8-3.

1.

The CPU runs self-diagnostics. This includes checking a portion of RAM to determine whether or not the RAM contains valid data. (Powerup diagnostics can be disabled through hardware configuration. It is recommended that you not use this feature unless your application requires unusually rapid powerup. For details, see “Fast Powerup” in the index.)

2.

The hardware configuration is compared with the software configuration. Any mismatches detected constitute faults and are alarmed.

3.

If there is no software configuration, the CPU will use the default configuration.

4.

In the final step of the execution, the mode of the first sweep is determined based on CPU configuration. Figure 8-3 shows the decision sequence followed by the CPU when it decides whether to copy from flash memory or to power-up in STOP or RUN mode. In the figure, text in bold refers to commands entered using the Hand-Held Programmer or the Logicmaster 90 software.

Power-Down Conditions

System power-down occurs automatically if the power supply detects that incoming AC power has dropped. The minimum hold time is one half cycle.

Note

During a gradual power down, when the input power supply voltage is below the minimum operating voltage, the Micro PLC may power off and then power on again until the input voltage drops low enough to prevent power on again. You should take precautions if this type of behavior cannot be tolerated in your application.

If expansion units do not power up within approximately

3 seconds, a Loss of Expansion Module fault will be logged.

Clocks and Timers

Elapsed Time Clock

The Elapsed Time Clock uses 100-microsecond “ticks” to track the time elapsed since the CPU powered-on. The clock is not retentive across a power failure; it restarts on each power-up. Once per second the hardware interrupts the CPU to enable a seconds count to be recorded. This seconds count rolls over approximately 100 years after the clock begins timing. Because the elapsed time clock provides the base for system software operations and timer function blocks, it cannot be reset from the user program or the programmer. However, the application program can read the current value of the elapsed time clock by using Function Number 16 of the SVC_REQ function.

Time of Day Clock (23 and 28-Point Micro PLCs)

This clock maintains the current time and date in 28-point Micro PLCs. These settings can be displayed and changed using the CPU configuration function in the Logicmaster 90 software. You can also use the SVCREQ function number 7 within a Logicmaster 90 program to read and set the time-of-day clock in the Micro PLC. Refer to the Series 90™-30/20/Micro Programmable

Controllers Reference Manual, GFK-4067, for information on using the SVCREQ instruction.

Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer in the Micro PLC is designed to catch catastrophic failure conditions. The timer value for the Watchdog Timer is 200 milliseconds; this is a fixed value which cannot be changed. The Watchdog Timer starts from zero at the beginning of each sweep. If the Watchdog timeout value is exceeded, the CPU goes through its power-up sequence and the PLC is left in

STOP-FAULT mode with a Watchdog Timer fault recorded.

To achieve a watchdog timeout value greater than 200ms, which the Micro PLC requires, the watchdog function is implemented as a two step process. Because the watchdog timer has a maximum timeout of 100ms, the time is first programmed as an interval timer that generates an interrupt after 100ms. If this time elapses, the firmware then programs the timer as a watchdog timer which will reset the microprocessor after an additional 105ms. The second step does not usually occur unless the user program is greater than 100ms. Therefore, if a device holds the wait line before the second step occurs (which only occurs if the user program is greater than 100ms), the microprocessor will hang because it can never service the interrupt service routine that programs the second step of the process.

Constant Sweep Timer

This timer controls the length of a program sweep when the Series 90 Micro PLC operates in

Constant Sweep Time mode. In this mode, each sweep consumes the same amount of time. For most application programs, the Input Scan, Application Program Logic Scan, and Output Scan do not require exactly the same amount of execution time in each sweep. The value of the Constant

Sweep Timer is set by the programmer and can be any value from 5 to 200 milliseconds. The default value is 100 ms.

If the Constant Sweep Timer expires before the completion of the sweep, and the previous sweep was not complete, the PLC places an over-sweep alarm in the PLC Fault table. At the beginning of the next sweep, the PLC sets the ov_swp fault contact. This contact is reset when the PLC is not in

Constant Sweep Time mode or if the last sweep did not exceed the Constant Sweep Timer.

GFK-1065F Chapter 8 System Operation 8-11

Timer Function Blocks

The Micro PLC supports two types of timer function blocks in the Logicmaster 90 software: an ondelay timer, and a start-reset timer.

Timed Contacts

Four timed contacts, each of which cycles on and off for a specified interval, are available in the

Logicmaster 90 software: 0.01 second, 0.1 second, 1 second, and 1 minute.

System Security

Overview

Security in the Series 90 Micro PLC is designed to restrict access to selected PLC functions. The

Series 90 Micro PLC supports two types of system security: password protection and OEM protection. Both types of protection can be accessed through the Status and Control portion of the

Logicmaster 90 software or the Hand-Held Programmer.

Password protection and OEM protection are described briefly here. Refer to the Logicmaster 90

Series 90-30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466, or the Hand-Held

Programmer User’s Manual, GFK-0402, for further details on the use of these system security features.

Password Protection

Privilege Levels

There are four security or privilege levels in the PLC password system. The default level (level 4), in a system with no passwords, allows read and write access to all configuration, logic, and data memories. Levels 2 through 4 can be protected by a password.

There is one password for each of levels 2 through 4 in the PLC, and each password may be unique; however, the same password can be used for more than one level. Passwords can only be entered or changed using the Logicmaster 90 Micro programmer or the HHP. Passwords are one to four ASCII characters in length. The HHP only allows the ASCII characters 0 to 9 and A to F.

The privileges granted at each level are a combination of that level, plus all lower levels. The levels and their privileges are:

Level 1

Any data, except passwords, may be read. This includes all data memories (%I, %Q, %AQ,

%R, etc.), fault tables, and all program block types: data, value, and constant. No values may be changed in the PLC. This is the default level for a system with passwords at all levels.

Level 2

This level allows level 1 privileges plus write access to the data memories (%I, %R, etc.).

Level 3

This level allows levels 1 and 2 privileges plus write access to the application program in

STOP mode only.

Level 4

This is the default level in a system with no passwords assigned. This level, the highest, allows the privileges of levels 1 through 3, plus read and write access to all memories, and the ability to display, set, or delete passwords for levels 1 through 3 in both RUN and STOP modes

(configuration data can be written only in STOP mode).

GFK-1065F Chapter 8 System Operation 8-13

8-14

8

Privilege Level Change Requests

To enter or change passwords, the programmer must be in on-line mode and communicating with the PLC. Entering or changing passwords requires access to the highest level. If no passwords have been set up for the system, this level is automatically available.

Note

Once passwords have been entered, they can only be changed by:

Entering the correct password to access the highest-level privileges.

In the configuration software, by placing the master diskette in the system disk drive of the computer and pressing the ALT and O keys. (It is important to keep the original software master diskettes in a secure location because this allows passwords to be overridden.)

A programmer requests a privilege level change by supplying the new privilege level and the password for that level. A privilege level change will be denied if the password sent by the programmer does not agree with the password stored in the PLC’s password access table for the requested level. If you attempt to access or modify information in the PLC using the HHP without the proper privilege level, the HHP will respond with an error message stating that access is denied.

When communicating over a serial link, a privilege level change remains in effect only as long as communications between the PLC and the programmer are intact. There does not need to be any activity, but the communications link must not be broken. If there is no communication for 15 seconds, the privilege level returns to the highest unprotected level.

When the Logicmaster 90 Micro programmer is connected through the serial connection, the programmer could detect a disconnect. If the PLC addresses the programmer and receives no response, the PLC detects a disconnect and then drops the programmer privilege level to the default privilege level (level 4). The PLC detects a disconnect of the HHP using a dedicated hardware signal. When the HHP is disconnected, the PLC reverts to privilege level 4. Upon connection of the

PLC, Logicmaster 90 requests the protection status of each privilege level from the PLC.

Logicmaster 90 then requests the PLC to move to the highest unprotected level, thereby giving the programmer access to the highest unprotected level without its having to request any particular level. When the HHP is connected to the PLC, the PLC reverts to the highest unprotected level.

OEM Protection

The OEM protection feature provides a higher level of security than password protection and is used by an original equipment manufacturer to further restrict access to program logic and configuration parameters. When OEM protection is enabled (locked), the user has no access to the logic program, and read-only access to the configuration. The OEM protection state is retentive across a power cycle.

Refer to the Logicmaster 90 Series 90-30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual,

GFK-0466, and to the Logicmaster 90 on-line HELP screens for details on the use of this feature.

I/O System for the Series 90 Micro PLC

The I/O system for the Series 90 Micro PLC provides the interface between the Series 90 Micro

CPU and the user-supplied input devices and equipment to be controlled. As shown in Figure 8-4, the I/O Scanner writes to %AI, %I, and %M memory and reads from %AQ and %Q memory. It can read and write to %G memory.

For more information on scanning and the CPU sweep, refer to the discussion on pages 8-3 through

8-4.

Input Scan Inputs to the Series 90 Micro PLC are scanned from the lowest to the highest reference address.

Output Scan Outputs are scanned during the Output Scan portion of the sweep, immediately following the Logic Solution. Outputs are scanned in the same order as for the

Input Scan; from lowest to highest reference address.

Default Conditions for Micro PLC Output Points

At power-up, output points default to OFF. They retain this default condition until the first output scan from the PLC occurs.

Software Filters

Note

Software filtering is effective on DC-input units only (IC693UAL006 and

IC693UDR001/002/005/010).

Discrete Input Filtering

Discrete Input Filtering Control

Filter control reference Discrete input filtering (%I inputs) is done via software that allows you to change the filtering time on the fly. The filter time for the discrete inputs is adjustable from 0.5ms to 20ms in 0.5ms increments.

The memory location %AQ11 is used to store the filter time value. To adjust the filter time, simply change the value in %AQ11.

Each value in %AQ11 represents one 0.5ms increment. For example, if you set %AQ11 to a value of 10, the filter time will be 5ms. If you set %AQ11 to 5, the filter time will be 2.5ms. The minimum value for

%AQ11 is 1 (0.5ms) and the maximum value is 40 (20ms). Due to

PLC limits, any value under 1 in %AQ11 represents a filter time of

0.5ms, and any value over 40 represents a filter time of 20ms.

Note

Because %AQ11 is used to control the discrete input filtering time, it is recommended that you not use %AQ11 for any other purpose.

Default filter time

Accuracy of filter

The default value for %AQ11 is 6, which represents a filter time of 3ms.

The filter time set in %AQ11 will be accurate within ± 0.5ms.

Limitations of Discrete Input Filtering

What a discrete input will not scan.

What a discrete input will scan.

This software filter only lets in signals that have a duration within ± 0.5ms of the set filter time. For example, if the filtering time is set to 5ms, it could allow any signal that is greater than 4.5ms to be seen as an input.

What will be read on an input is not solely based on the input filter setting. It is also based on the scan time. An input will always be seen if it is longer than both the scan time and the filter time.

8-16 Series 90™ Micro PLC User's Manual – June 1998 GFK-1065F

Analog Potentiometer Input Filtering

Input Settings

Two potentiometers, located on the front panel of the Micro PLC, allow you to manually set input values that are stored in %AI16 and %AI17. The top potentiometer controls %AI16, and the bottom one controls %AI17.

Filter Control Reference

Due to the nature of analog input, the values seen in %AI16 and %AI17 will have some fluctuation.

This variation could make these inputs unusable for some applications. The Series 90 Micro PLC uses an averaging filter to stabilize these inputs.

The filter used on %AI16 and %AI17 samples the values on these inputs once per sweep. When a predetermined number of samples has been read, it averages them and stores the result in %AI16 and %AI17.

The value in memory reference %AQ1 controls the number of samples to be averaged, calculated as follows:

Number of samples = 2%AQ1

For example, if 4 is placed in %AQ1, 16 samples will be averaged to determine the values to place in %AI16 and %AI17. If 5 is placed in %AQ1, 32 samples will be averaged. You can place any value in %AQ1, however, only the lower 3 bits of %AQ1 are recognized, giving a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 7 (for 0 through 128 samples).

The analog value from the potentiometer is not reported until the number of sweeps determined by the value in AQ1 has occurred. If you want to receive a value from the potentiometer on every sweep, including the first sweep, AQ1 must contain 0.

Default Filter Time

The default value in %AQ1 is 4, meaning that 16 samples will be averaged.

Limitations of Analog Potentiometer Input Filtering

As with any filter, the longer the filter time (i.e., the more samples that are taken), the longer the response time. Although the maximum value of 7 could be used in %AQ1, this value might cause a long response time on larger programs. For example, if the sweep time of a program is 100ms, and if the potentiometer value is changed, the new value would not show up for 12.8 seconds.

Diagnostic bits are available in the %S memory. Diagnostic information is not available for individual I/O points. Refer to Chapter 9 for more information on fault handling.

Flash Memory

The Series 90 Micro PLC provides flash memory for non-volatile user-program storage and for system firmware. In addition, the Read/Write/Verify EE/Flash PROM with PLC User Memory function, initiated from either Logicmaster 90 or the HHP, uses flash memory for storage of the configuration and reference data.

Because the user program is stored in non-volatile flash memory, only one copy is maintained in flash memory, even after the user invokes the Write to EEPROM/FLASH function in the programming/configuration software or with the HHP. (Separate copies of the user configuration and the reference tables are maintained in the EEPROM/FLASH areas of the flash memory.) The

Configuration entry Cfg From determines only whether the user configuration is obtained from

RAM or PROM. The user program is always read from flash (PROM) memory.

In addition, be aware that editing the user program with the HHP stores the edited copy of the program in RAM memory. If you do not save the edited version of the program to flash memory, the changes will be lost. See “Storing the User Program Using the HHP” in Chapter 5, for the key sequence for this procedure.

Diagnostics

This chapter provides a guide to troubleshooting the Micro PLC and consists of two sections:

Powerup Diagnostics describes how to use the LED blink codes that the Micro PLC generates if the unit fails the power-up self-test described in Chapter 3.

Faults and Fault Handling discusses how the Micro PLC handles system faults. These faults can be diagnosed and corrected using the Logicmaster 90 software or the HHP.

GFK-1065F 9-1

Powerup Diagnostics

If the Micro PLC fails the powerup self-test, it will generate an error message in the form of an

LED blink code.

Note

Powerup diagnostics can be disabled using the Logicmaster 90 configuration software. Unless your application requires unusually fast powerup, it is recommended that you leave this feature enabled. Disabling powerup diagnostics has the following effects:

The I/O Link Interface Expansion Unit will not work.

No expansion units can be used. (If expansion units are connected while powerup diagnostics are disabled, faults will be logged in the I/O tables.)

All HHP key sequences will be ignored when the Micro PLC is powering up.

Faults and Fault Handling

Faults occur in the Series 90 Micro PLC system when certain failures or conditions that affect the operation and performance of the system occur. These conditions can affect the ability of the PLC to control a machine or process.

Fault Handling

The condition or failure itself is called a fault. When a fault has been received and processed by the

Alarm Processor software in the CPU, it is called an alarm. The interface to the user for the Alarm

Processor is through the Logicmaster 90 programming software. Any detected fault is recorded in a

Fault Table and displayed on either the PLC Fault Table screen or the I/O Fault Table screens.

More information on faults and fault handling can be found in the Logicmaster Series 90-

30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466 and the Logicmaster Series

90-30/20/Micro 90-30 Programmable Controllers Reference Manual, GFK-0467. For information on error detection and correction for Statement List programs and the Hand-Held

Programmer, refer to the Hand-Held Programmer, Series 90-30/20/Micro Programmable

Controllers User’s Manual, GFK-0402.

Classes of Faults

The Micro PLC detects several classes of faults. These include internal failures, external failures, and operational failures. Following are examples of these failures.

Internal Failures

† Non-responding circuit boards

† Memory checksum errors

External Failures

† Sequence fault

Operational Failures

†

†

Communication failures

Configuration failures

† Password access failures

GFK-1065F Chapter 9 Diagnostics 9-3

System Response to Faults

Some faults can be tolerated, while others require that the system be shut down. I/O failures may be tolerated by the PLC system, but may be intolerable by the application or the process being controlled. Operational failures can normally be tolerated. Micro PLC faults have two attributes:

Fault Table Affected: I/O Fault Table

PLC Fault Table

Fault Action: Fatal

Diagnostic

Informational

Fatal faults are recorded in the appropriate table, diagnostic variables (if any) are set, and the system is halted. Diagnostic faults are recorded in the appropriate table and any diagnostic variables are set. Informational faults are only recorded in the appropriate table. Fault actions are listed in Table 9-2.

Fault Summary References

Fault summary references are set to indicate what fault occurred. The fault reference remains on until the PLC is cleared or until the application program clears the fault.

An example of a fault bit being set and then clearing the bit is shown in the following example. In this example, the coil light_01 is turned on when an over sweep condition occurs. The light and the ov_swp contact remain on until the %I0035 contact is closed.

Fault Reference Definitions

The Alarm Processor maintains the states of the 128 system discrete bits in %S memory. These fault references can be used to indicate where a fault has occurred, and what type of fault it is. Fault references are assigned, with a nickname, to %S, %SA, %SB, and %SC memory. These references are available for use in the application program as required. The mnemonic for these discrete bits and a description of each bit is provided in Table 9-4. Some discrete bits are reserved for future use.

Fault Results

Two non-configurable faults have results that you should be aware of:

PLC CPU Software Failure

Whenever a PLC CPU Software Failure is logged, the Micro PLC immediately goes into a special Error Sweep mode. The only activity permitted when the PLC is in this mode is communications with the programmer. The only method of clearing this condition is to reset the Micro PLC (i.e., cycle power).

PLC Sequence Store Failure

A sequence store is the storage of program blocks and other data preceded by the special Startof-Sequence command and ending with the End-of-Sequence command. If communications with a programming device performing a sequence store is interrupted or if any other failure occurs that terminates the download, the PLC Sequence Store Failure fault is logged. As long as this fault is present in the system, the PLC will not transition to RUN mode.

Accessing Additional Fault Information

The Fault Tables contain basic information regarding the fault. If more detailed information is needed, a hexadecimal dump of the fault can be obtained by positioning the cursor on the fault entry and pressing the C TRL + F keys simultaneously. The hexadecimal information will be displayed on the line directly below the function key display.

Two faults, Flash Memory Alarm and Watchdog Timer Application Fault, are unique to the

Series 90 Micro PLC. Refer to the table below for descriptions and corrective actions for these faults. All other faults applicable to the Series 90 Micro PLC are described in the Logicmaster

Series 90-30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466.

If you find it necessary to contact Field Service concerning a fault, you should be prepared to tell them both the information that is readable directly from the Fault Table and the hexadecimal

information you see when you press the C TRL

+ F keys. Field Service personnel will give you further instructions.

BAD_FLASH_OP = 32

The PLC operating system generates this fault when it detects an internal Flash device error during a Flash write or erase operation.

Display the PLC Fault Table on the Programmer. Contact GE PLC Field Service, giving them all the information in the Fault Table.

Watchdog Timer Application Fault

SFTWR_WD_EXPIRED = 2

The user’s program execution time exceeds the watchdog setting of 200 ms. PLC resets and goes to STOP-FAULT mode.

Modify user program so time is not exceeded. If the user program is not causing the problem, make sure any inductive loads being used are properly suppressed. For more information, see

“Output Circuit Protection” in Chapter 4.

Special Operational Notes

Inaccurate Logic Not Equal Message

When coil use is set to WARN MULTIPLE, Logicmaster 90 software allows multiple coil use with warning messages. This feature can give misleading feedback for Micro PLCs. If coil references are added or deleted in the RLD program, the Logic-Not-Equal warning will be displayed. To correct the inaccurate message, enter the program edit package (press F1), and then select Option

(press F7). From the Multiple Coil Use screen, press F1 to run the coil check function. Storing the program to the PLC will now result in Logic Equal. You can avoid this problem by disabling the

WARN MULTIPLE feature from the Multiple Coil Use screen. For details, refer to “Coil

Checking” in the Logicmaster™ 90 Series 90™-30/20/Micro Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466.

Appendix

A

Instruction Timing

GFK-1065F

This appendix contains tables listing the memory size in bytes and the execution time in microseconds for each function supported by the Micro PLC. Memory size is the number of bytes required by the function in a ladder diagram application program.

Two execution times are shown for each function:

Execution Time

Enabled

Disabled

Description

Time required to execute the function or function block when power flows into and out of the function. Typically, best-case times are when the data used by the block is contained in user RAM (word-oriented memory) and not in the discrete memory.

Time required to execute the function when power flows into the function or function block, however, it is in an inactive state (for example, when a timer is held in the reset state).

Notes

1.

Times (in microseconds) are based on release 5.0 (14-point Micro PLCs) and release 6.0 (28point Micro PLCs) of Logicmaster 90 software.

2.

Timers and counters are updated each time they are encountered in the logic; timers by the amount of time consumed by the last sweep and counters by one count.

3.

For bit operation functions, L = the number of bits. For bit position, N = the bit that is set. For data move functions, N = the number of bits or words. B= the number of bits shifted more than

1 (that is, not counting the first bit). W=the number of words.

4.

For table functions, increment is in units of length specified.

5.

Enabled time for single length units of type %R, %AI, and %AQ.

6.

JUMPs, LABELs, COMMENTs, and non-nested MCRs are included in the Boolean timing spec.

7.

Boolean contact execution times are as follows:

14-point Micro PLCs: 1.8 ms/K of logic for fast %I (%I1–%I64) references

1.6 ms/K of logic for fast %Q (%Q1–%Q64) references

. 2.2 ms/K of logic for normal inputs

2.8 ms/K of logic for normal outputs

23 and 28-point Micro PLCs: 1.0 ms/K of logic for fast %I (%I1–%I64) references

1.0 ms/K of logic for fast %Q (%Q1–%Q64) references

. 1.2 ms/K of logic for normal inputs

1.6 ms/K of logic for normal outputs

Reference Types

This appendix contains listings of the user reference types supported by the Micro PLC. It also identifies references reserved for fault reporting (page B-2) and memory locations that are reserved for I/O functions (page B-3).

User References

Data in Series 90-30/20/Micro PLC programs is referenced by its address in the system. A reference specifies both a memory type and a precise address within that memory type. For example:

%I00001

%R00256 specifies address 1 in input memory.

specifies address 256 in register memory.

The % symbol is used to distinguish machine references from nicknames and is only used with

Logicmaster 90 Micro software. The % symbol is not used with the HHP.

The prefix of a user reference indicates where data is stored in the PLC. References in the Micro

PLC are either discrete or register data types. The ranges and sizes of reference types supported by the Micro PLC are listed in the following table.

References for Fault Reporting

The Series 90 Micro PLC monitors internal operations for either system or user problems called faults. These faults are reported through the %S references and through an internal fault table.

Access to %S information is available through Logicmaster 90 Micro software or with the HHP.

For more details on faults and fault reporting see Chapter 9.

RS-422 Interface

The Series 90 PLC products are compatible with EIA RS-422 specifications. RS-422 drivers and receivers are used to provide communications between system components that use multiple driver/receiver combinations on a single cable with five twisted pairs.

Caution

Care must be taken that common mode voltage specifications are met.

Common mode conditions that exceed those specified will result in errors in transmission and/or damage to Series 90 PLC components.

Description

Series 90 PLC: Serial (RS-422) port with metric hardware

Connector: 15-pin male, D-Subminiature Type, Cannon DA15S (solder pot) Hood: AMP

207470-1 connector shell

Hardware Kit: AMP 207871-1 Kit includes 2 metric screws and 2 screw clips

Workmaster II: Serial (RS-232) port with standard RS-232 connector

Connector: 25-pin female, D-Subminiature Type, Cannon DB25S (solder pot) with

DB110963-3 hood or equivalent (standard RS-232 connector)

Workmaster: Serial (RS-232) port with standard RS-232 connector

Connector: 9-pin female, D-Subminiature Type, Cannon DE9S (solder pot) with DE110963-1 hood or equivalent (standard RS-232 connector)

IBM-AT/XT: Serial (RS-232) port with standard RS-232 connector

Connector: 9-pin female, D-Subminiature Type, Cannon DE9S (solder pot) with DE110963-31 hood or equivalent (standard RS-232 connector)

RS-232/RS-485 Converter: one 15-pin male, and one 25-pin male connector

15-pin male connector requires metric hardware (same connector, hood, and hardware as for

Series 90 PLC listed above)

25-pin male D-Subminiature Type, Cannon DA25S (solder pot) with DB110963-3 hood or equivalent (standard RS-232 connector)

Cable

Computer grade, 24 AWG (.22 mm2), minimum with overall shield

Catalog Numbers: Belden 9505, Belden 9306, Belden 9832

These cables provide acceptable operation for data rates up to 19.2 Kbps as follows:

RS-232: 50 feet (15 meters) maximum cable length

RS-422/RS-422: 4000 feet (1200 meters) maximum length. Must not exceed the maximum RS-422 Common Mode specification of +7V to -7V. Isolation at the remote end can be used to reduce or eliminate Common Mode voltages.

At shorter distances under 50 feet (15 meters), almost any twisted pair or shielded twisted pair cable will work, as long as the wire pairs are connected correctly.

When using RS-422/RS-422, the twisted pairs should be matched so that both transmit signals make up one twisted pair and both receive signals make up the other twisted pair. If this is ignored, cross-talk resulting from the mismatching will affect the performance of the communications system.

When routing communication cables outdoors, transient suppression devices can be used to reduce the possibility of damage due to lightning or static discharge.

Care should be exercised that all connected devices are grounded to a common point. Failure to do so could result in damage to the equipment.

* Signals available at the connector but are not included in the RS-422 specification.

** Termination resistance for the Receive Data (RD) signal needs to be connected only on units at the end of the lines. This termination is made on the Series 90 PLC products by connecting a jumper between pins 9 and 10 inside the 15-pin D-shell with the following exception. For Series 90-70 PLCs with catalog numbers

IC697CPU731J and IC697CPU771G (and earlier), the termination for RD at the PLC is implemented by a jumper between pins 9 and 11.

SD (Send Data) and RD (Receive Data) are the same as TXD and RXD (used in the

Series Six PLC). (A) and (B) are the same as - and + . A and B denote outputs, and A’ and B’ denote inputs.

Multidrop Connections

In a multidrop configuration, the host device is configured as the master and one or more PLCs are configured as slaves. This method can be used when the maximum distance between the master and any slave does not exceed 4000 feet (1200 meters). This figure assumes good quality cables and a moderately noisy environment. A maximum of eight slaves can be connected using RS-422 in a

daisy chain or multidrop configuration. The RS-422 line must include handshaking and use wire type as specified in the "Cable and Connector Specifications section.

Programmer-to-Series 90 PLC Connections

The following illustrations show wiring diagrams and requirements for connecting a Workmaster II or IBM-PS/2, Workmaster, IBM-AT/XT or compatible computer to Series 90 PLCs in an eightwire multidrop, serial data configuration.

Figure D-8 provides an example of the wiring configuration required for the multidrop configuration when using the RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter. Figure D-9 illustrates the wiring configuration required when a Work Station Interface (WSI) board is installed in the computer. The 37-pin serial port connector for Workmaster II and Workmaster computers is on the

WSI board in the programming computer. The cable type for these connections should be 24 AWG

(0.22 mm2), 30V computer grade. Extra flexible cable construction is recommended for short lengths.

PLC-to-PLC Master/Slave Connections

The 23 and 28-point Micro PLCs can operate as an SNP/SNPX master in a multidrop system that meets the requirements for Series 90 devices. For system requirements, see Tables D-1 and D-2.

Figure D-13 shows possible configurations of systems that use the 23 or 28-point Micro PLC as an

SNP/SNPX master.

Figure D-14 shows a sample multidrop configuration with a Micro PLC as an SNP/SNPX master that controls two Micro PLCs, a Series 90 CMM, and an Isolated Repeater/Converter

(IC655CMM590), known as a “Brick.” The Brick connects additional Series 90 PLCs. Figure D-15 details the cabling that connects the Micro PLC master to the slave devices. Note that, in this diagram, an RTU master without flow control can replace the SNP/SNPX master. (The Micro PLC operates as an RTU slave only.) To use an RTU master with hardware flow control, cabling must be configured as shown in Figure D-16. For a description of RTU protocol, refer to the Series 90

PLC Serial Communications User’s Manual, GFK-0582. For details on Series 90 products other than the Micro PLC, refer to the appropriate user’s and installation manuals.

Figures D-17 and D-18 detail the cabling that connects the Isolated Repeater/Converter to downstream slave devices, with and without hardware flow control, respectively. (For more information about the Isolated Repeater/Converter, refer to Appendix E.)

A master/slave network can be made up of 23 and 28-point Micro PLCs as shown in Figure D-19.

The Micro PLC firmware does not limit the number of levels in the network. However, the time required for communications between the top and bottom levels could limit the number of levels that can be used in your application.

The RS-422 protocol limits the number of slaves per master to eight. More slaves can be added if a repeater is used. In the example below, each master device acts as a repeater.

To implement a network similar to the one below, Port 2 on each of the master PLCs must be configured as an SNP Master. For a sample ladder logic program that initiates SNP between a master and a slave device, refer to “SNP COMMREQ Programming Examples” in Chapter 6 of the

Series 90™ PLC Serial Communications User’s Manual, GFK-0582.

Note

In communications logic using COMM_REQ function blocks you should use the following parameters:

SYS ID should be 0001 for Rack 0, Slot 1

TASK ID should be 20 (14H) for Micro PLC Port 2

RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 Converter

This section provides a detailed description of the RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 Converter

(IC690ACC900) for the Series 90 Programmable Logic Controllers.

Features

Provides the Series 90 PLCs with an interface to devices that use the RS-232 interface.

Allows connection to a programming computer without a Work Station Interface board.

Easy cable connection to a Series 90-70 PLC, Series 90-30 PLC, or Series 90 Micro PLC.

No external power needed; operates from +5 volt DC power provided by the Series 90 PLC.

Convenient, lightweight self-contained unit.

Functions

The RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 Converter provides an RS-232 serial interface for the Series 90

PLCs, which have a built-in RS-422/RS-485 interface. Specifically, it provides a serial connection between a Series 90 PLC serial port and the serial port on the programming computer without the need for a Work Station Interface to be installed in the computer. The programming computer can be a Workmaster II computer, or IBM PS/2 or compatible computer.

Location in System

The RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter is a free-standing device that requires two cables as the connections between the PLC and the programmer. Its location is limited only by the length of the connecting cables as listed in the interface specifications in "Specifications." The cable at the PLC end that connects to the RS-422/RS-485 connector on the converter can be up to 10 feet in length

(without an external source of +5 VDC) and up to 1000 feet (300m) in length with an external source of +5 VDC. The cable from the RS-232 connector on the converter to the programming computer’s serial port can be up to 50 feet (15m) in length.

Installation

Installation of the RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 Converter consists of connecting two cables. Select the proper cables for your installation. Prewired cables (see below) are available from GE, or if cables of different lengths are required by your application, you can build your own cables.

Specifications for building these cables are provided on page E-8.

You do not need to connect an external source of power to the converter for a cable length of 10 feet, or less, since the necessary power connections of +5VDC and signal ground are derived from the PLC’s backplane bus through the cable that connects to the PLC.

1.

Select one of the three RS-232 compatible cables (10 feet in length) that will connect the programmer’s (or other serial device) RS-232 serial port to the RS-232 port on the converter.

The catalog numbers of these cables are: IC690CBL701 (use with Workmaster industrial computer, or IBM PC-XT or compatible personal computer), IC690CBL702 (use with IBM

PC-AT or compatible personal computer), and IC690CBL705 (use with Workmaster II industrial computer, or IBM PS/2 or compatible personal computer).

2.

A standard 6-foot cable (HHP compatible) is available to connect the RS-422/RS-485 port on the converter to the RS-485 port on the PLC. The catalog number of this cable is

IC693CBL303.

Installation of these cables should be done with the PLC powered-down.

Connect the 25-pin male connector on the 10 foot cable to the 25-pin female connector on the converter.

Connect the female connector (9-pin or 25-pin) on the opposite end of this cable to the male

RS-232 connector (serial port) on the selected programming (or other serial) device. If you build your own cable, use a connector that is compatible with your serial device.

Note that both ends of the 6-foot RS-422/RS-485 compatible cable are the same; a 15-pin male connector is attached at both ends. Connect one end of this cable to the 15-pin female connector on the RS-422/RS-485 connector on the converter.

Connect the other end of this cable to the 15-pin female connector, which interfaces to the RS-

485 compatible serial port on the Series 90 Micro, Series 90-30, or Series 90-70 PLC. For the

Series 90-30 PLCs, this connector is accessed by opening the hinged door on the power supply. The serial port connector for the Series 90-70 PLC is on the CPU module and is accessed by opening the hinged door on the module.

Jumper Configuration

There are three jumper locations on the converter board for selection of user options. Each jumper position has three pins, as shown in the following illustration. These jumper positions, labeled JP2,

JP3, and JP4, are accessed by removing the square plastic cover on the top of the converter.

Configuration can be changed as required by carefully removing one or more of the jumpers with a pair of needle nose pliers and placing it on the desired pair of pins.

Refer to the description of these selectable jumper positions in Table E-3 and place the jumper on the selected pair of pins. The pin numbers are 1, 2, and 3. Default jumper locations are indicated by a rectangle around the pins to be jumpered for each position. The default pin numbers are 1 and 2.

Description*

Default position 1 and 2 is used when the device communicating with the PLC does not supply the Carrier

Detect signal. JP2 forces the DCD signal active on the RS-485 port.

Use jumper positions 2 and 3 if the device does supply the

Carrier Detect signal. This allows the programming device to control DCD.

Default position 1 and 2 is used when an attached Modem does not require the Clear To Send (CTS) signal. This allows the programming device to control the RTS signal.

Jumper positions 2 and 3 are used when the attached Modem does require the CTS signal (most modems require this signal).

Forces RTS to be continually active.

Default position 1 and 2 is used for most applications communicating with the PLC via a serial programming device.

Jumper positions 2 and 3 are used if the device communicating with the PLC is intended to emulate the HHP protocol.

* Refer to the documentation provided with your serial device for signal requirements.

Since it is sometimes difficult to find a cable with the desired number of twisted pairs (the Belden 9309 has an extra pair), you might end up with a cable with extra pairs.

** For distances over 10 feet, the +5 volt DC logic power source must be provided externally by connecting an external power supply to the +5V and SG (0V) connections at the converter end of the cable. The +5V pin at the PLC connector end of the cable must not be connected to the

cable. The +5V and SG connections from the external power supply must be isolated from its own power line ground connection. Ensure that there is no connection between the external supply and the PLC except the SG cable connection.

Miniconverter Kit

This section describes the Miniconverter Kit for use with Series 90 PLCs.

Description of Miniconverter

The Miniconverter Kit (IC690ACC901) consists of an RS-422 (SNP) to RS-232 Miniconverter, a

6-foot (2 meter) serial extension cable, and a 9-pin to 25-pin Converter Plug assembly. The 15-pin

SNP port connector on the Miniconverter plugs directly into the serial port connector on the Series

90-30 power supply, Series 90-70 CPU, Series 90-20 CPU, or Series 90 Micro CPU. The 9-pin RS-

232 port connector on the Miniconverter connects to an RS-232 compatible device.

Figure E-6. Series 90 SNP to RS-232 Miniconverter

When used with an IBM PC-AT, or compatible computer, one end of the extension cable plugs into the Miniconverter’s 9-pin serial port connector, while the other end plugs into the 9-pin serial port of the computer. The Converter plug (supplied with kit) is required to convert the 9-pin serial port connector on the Miniconverter to the 25-pin serial port connector on the GE Workmaster II computer, or an IBM PC-XT or PS/2 Personal Computer.

The GE Workmaster computer requires an additional adapter (not supplied with kit - please contact your local GE PLC distributor) for use with the Miniconverter.

System Configurations

The Miniconverter can be used in a point-to-point configuration as described above, or in a multidrop configuration with the host device configured as the master and one or more PLCs configured as slaves.

The multidrop configuration requires a straight through (1-to-1) cable from the Miniconverter’s

RS-422 port to the first slave PLC’s SNP port. Other slaves will require a daisy chain connection between slaves. A maximum of eight devices can be connected in an RS-422 multidrop configuration. All of the devices must have a common ground. If ground isolation is required, you can use the GE Isolated Repeater/Converter (IC655CCM590) in place of the Miniconverter.

When using the Miniconverter with a modem connection, it may be necessary to jumper RTS to

CTS (consult the user’s manual for your modem).

Caution

The signal ground connections (pin 7 on each connector) must be made between the

Isolated Repeater/Converter and the PLC for J1, and the Isolated Repeater/Converter and the host computer for J2.

Pin 7 of the J1 port is connected to the metal shell of the J1 connector. Pin 7 of the J2 port is connected to the metal shell of the J2 connector. These two signal ground connections are isolated from each other and from the power system ground (green wire on the terminal block). To maintain proper isolation, these signal grounds cannot be tied together.

System Configurations

The following figures show various ways you can connect the Isolated Repeater/Converter to convert signals, expand the number of drops, and obtain greater distance. Any system configuration can be reduced to a minimum number of cables, each covering a part of the overall system configuration. The following examples of system configurations refer to these cables as Cables A through E, which are described in “Cable Diagrams” on page E-20.

Downstream and Upstream Contention. In this section, simple multidrop configurations are those where a single Isolated Repeater/Converter is used. Complex multidrop configurations contain one or more multidrop sections where an Isolated Repeater/Converter is included as one of the drops. In both simple and complex multidrop configurations, the transmitters directed downstream from the master can be on at all times. There will be no contention for the communication line because only one device (the master) transmits downstream.

In simple multidrop configurations, there will be no contention when transmitting upstream as long as devices tri-state their drivers when idle and turn them on only when they have something to transmit. This is the case for the Series 90-70 and Series 90-30 CMMs.

In complex multidrop configurations, however, special steps must be taken to switch the upstream transmitters of the Isolated Repeater/Converter.

Switching Upstream Transmitters. For the RS-422 drivers to be active at the J2 port of the

Isolated Repeater/Converter, the RTS input at J1 must be true. The state of the RS-422 drivers at the J1 port depends on the position of the switch on the unit. When the switch is in the center position, the J1 transmitters will always be turned on. When the switch is in the CTS position

(toward the power cable), then either the RS-232 or RS-422 CTS signal must be true to turn on the

J1 drivers.

Note

Note the position of the switch on the Isolated/Repeater Converter in the following system configurations.

Rules for Using Repeater/Converters in Complex Networks

When designing a complex multidrop network including PLCs and RS-422 repeater/converters

(bricks), the following rules apply:

Rule 1: When using a brick as a repeater, port J2 should always be directed toward the host device, and Port J1 should always be directed away from the host device. The switch located on the side of the brick should always be in the center position (ON). The only case in which Port J1 is directed toward the host is when the brick is used as a converter (RS-232) at the slave. The switch is in the right position (CTS).

Rule 2: If a Series 90 CMM slave device is located downstream of a brick, set the configuration of the CMM serial port to NONE flow control with a 10ms Modem Turnaround Delay (applies to

CCM, SNP, and SNP-X protocols only).

Rule 3: Do not place more than three bricks in a single communication path between the host and the slave devices.

IC693CBL303: Hand-Hand Programmer Cable

The Hand-Held Programmer (HHP) cable provides the connections that allow the HHP and the

PLC to communicate. It can also be used to connect the RS-485 serial port on the PLC to the RS-

422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter (IC690ACC900).

The prewired cable (IC693CBL303) is 6 feet (2 meters) long. This is the cable used with the HHP.

If a different length cable is required for connection to the converter, refer to the information below for specifications and wiring information.

This information is essential if you intend to build your own cable. The recommended cable types for custom cables are listed below and depend on the length of the cable.

Same as for 30 feet. In addition, the+5VDC logic power source for the converter cannot be supplied by the PLC. It must be provided by an external power supply connected to the +5V and SG pins at the converter end of the connector. The +5V pin at the PLC connector must not be connected to the cable. The +5V and SG connections from the power supply must be isolated from their own power line ground connection. Be sure that there is no connection between the external supply and the PLC except the SG cable connection.

1.

Catalog numbers are provided as suggestions only. Any cable having the same electrical characteristics is acceptable. It is strongly recommended that you use stranded wire. Since it is sometimes hard to find a cable with the desired number of twisted pairs (the Belden 9309 has an extra pair), you might end up with a cable with extra pairs.

2.

A greater cable length between the PLC and the converter increases the possibility of noise coupling into the data and converter logic power circuits within the cable. The cable should be as short as possible in noisy environments. In extreme cases, additional noise protection measures, such as double-shielded cables, could be required.

The following wiring diagram is for the IC693CBL303 cable and for cables that may be built for connection to the IC690ACC900 converter.

Sample Application or PWM and Pulse Outputs

Series 90 Micro PLC Analog I/O Through CALEX Signal Conditioners

Analog I/O is useful in a broad range of applications for such things as pressure and level sensing, positioning, and temperature control. The Series 90 Micro PLC can be used with CALEX signal conditioning units to provide a cost-effective solution. Analog channels can be added on a per channel basis, which allows customers to tailor their system at an incremental cost. CALEX signal conditioning units require only one discrete input (for Analog inputs) or one discrete output (for

Analog outputs), with setup for use only required in the configuration of the PLC. Currently available solutions are 11-bit resolution equivalent. Installation is made easy through DIN rail mounting and Phoenix European-style wiring terminals. CALEX signal conditioners are available in Current In, Current Out, Voltage In, Voltage Out, and J-type Thermocouple units. The unit has space requirements of approximately 1.65 inches (42mm) high, 1.06 inches (27mm) wide, and 3.78

inches (96mm) long. The signal conditioning unit weighs only 3 ounces (85 grams).

Application

A user wants to use one analog input channel and one analog output channel to control flow rate.

The analog input channel is used to determine fluid level and the analog output channel to control a positioning valve that varies flow rate into a tank. The user would also like to scale the output so that a one-to-one relationship exists between the value entered and the frequency sent out to the

Frequency-to-Analog converter.

The Series 90 Micro PWM and pulse train (PT) frequencies are varied by entering values into the

AQ2 and AQ123 registers respectively. The frequency that is output has an inverse relationship to the value entered in the register. That is, the lower the value placed in the AQ2 register, the higher the frequency sent out. For example, the PWM output will be set to the maximum frequency of

2khz for a decimal value of 614 written into the AQ2 register and 20hz for a decimal value of

61439. (For sample calculations of PWM and PT frequencies, see “Configuring Q1 for PWM or

Pulse Output” in Chapter 5.)

Note

Values greater than 32767 cannot be entered as decimal numbers. They can be entered as hex or as two’s complement values. In Logicmaster 90, when entering hexadecimal numbers in a reference table, a leading A through F must be preceded by a zero (for example, 0FFFF). To enter a two’s complement number, enter it as a negative integer

(int). For additional information, see “Reference Tables” in the Logicmaster Series 90-

30/20/Micro Programming Software User’s Manual, GFK-0466.

Solution

The proposed solution requires the following:

Logicmaster Series 90 Micro or Series 90-30/20/Micro Logicmaster software (Release 6.0

or later)

Double Integer division and multiplication math functions in application code

Series 90 Micro PLC with DC output

CALEX signal conditioning input unit

CALEX signal conditioning output unit

Example 1

The CALEX 8507 input signal conditioner produces a 0 to 5khz wave for a 0 to 10 volt input. The frequency varies proportionally to the voltage applied from the field side of the unit. A frequency of 1.25khz seen by the Series 90 Micro would correspond to a sensor voltage input of 2.5 VDC.

To set up the CALEX signal conditioning input units, run the Logicmaster 90 configuration package and select the I/O option. The signal conditioning input unit sends out a frequency that is proportional to the voltage or current applied from the field side. The frequency is fed into one of the Type A HSC inputs on the Micro PLC.

To configure the Micro PLC, set the HSC type to A, enable counts, and set time base to the number of counts desired (example: a 1000ms timebase will display 2000 count for a 2Khz wave sent out by the signal conditioner). To speed up the effective throughput of the CALEX input unit, decrease the counts per timebase and scale according to user needs in the ladder logic (example: A 500ms timebase will display 1000 counts for a 2Khz wave, which can be scaled to 2000 counts through a multiplication function in the ladder logic). The corresponding frequency can be viewed in the counts per timebase register (for the above example, the HSC 2 counts per timebase register is

AI03). It should be noted that the TYPE A counter setup requires two inputs for each counter. If the second input required for a TYPE A counter is not used for strobing the counter, it is still available as an input. This means that the signal conditioning input only requires one input per analog channel in. Additionally, due to hardware constraints, when the high-speed output function is used

(PWM or PT), channel one cannot be used as a high-speed counter input. This makes the maximum number of AI set to three when PWM or PT is required in TYPE A counter mode.

GFK-1065F Appendix G Sample Application or PWM and Pulse Outputs G-3

G

Example 2

The CALEX 8510 output signal conditioner produces a 0 to 5VDC output for a 0 to 2Khz input from the Micro PLC. The voltage output varies proportionally to the applied frequency. A frequency of 1Khz will result in an output voltage of 2.5VDC. It should be noted that the Micro

PLC does not allow frequencies of less than 19hz to be produced because the largest supported value for the AQ2 register is hex FFFF. In addition, the frequency that can be output is in increments of 3hz (best case) but varies between 3 and 4hz due to the rounding effects of the equation.

The setup for the signal conditioning output is similar to that for the input, except that values must be written to AQ2 and AQ3 registers to set up frequency and duty cycle respectively. From the

Logicmaster 90 configuration package:

Select the I/O configuration.

Select TYPE A counter option.

Disable High Speed Counter 1.

Enable PWM output.

From the Logicmaster 90 programmer package:

Set the value of the AQ3 register to 200 decimal (this value produces the proper duty cycle over the full frequency range).

Set the AQ2 register to the required value to produce the desired frequency according to the equation

Frequency

=

8

(

MHz

AQ

+

)

The frequency output equation is rewritten in terms of AQ2 as follows:

AQ 2

=

MHz

8

Frequency

1 which represents the value that needs to be written into the AQ2 register to produce the desired frequency. The application code provided on pages G-5 through G-6 solves the above equation and writes the value into the AQ2 register. Due to firmware constraints, the lowest frequency that can be obtained is 19hz. Values less than 19 exceed the maximum value allowed for the AQ2 register.

The application code will set the frequency to 100% duty cycle (constantly on “1”) for a value of less than 19 written into the AQ2 register.

G-4

Benefits

Analog available on a per-channel basis

Cost-effective solution

Ease of ramping output through application code with a one-to-one relationship for scaling

Readability of desired output frequency without doing conversion prior to entering into AQ2 register

A 14-point Series 90 Micro PLC and a GE Variable Frequency Drive were chosen. The Series 90

Micro PLC was chosen because it offers compact size, built-in high-speed counters, and cost effectiveness. Also, it utilizes the same instruction set as the Series 90-30 PLC, which will allow easy expansion for added features.

The Series 90 Micro PLC uses sensor inputs to control a GE Variable Frequency Drive which has seven pre-selected speeds. Together they provide a variety of motions that simulate those of a boxing opponent.

The Benefits

The Series 90 Micro completed the tasks while saving both space and cost.

The Series 90 Micro PLC uses input from sensors on the bag to control the GE Variable

Frequency Drive that determines the bag’s motion.

Tubing Manufacturing Industry

Tube Bending

The Need

A control system was needed to automate a tube bending process, which was being performed manually by sight with control relays. The objective is to bend the tube to a specific angle which changes by order.

The Solution

A 28-point Series 90 Micro PLC was used with an Operator Interface Terminal (OIT) and three encoders. The Series 90 Micro PLC uses pulse width modulation to control the encoders for positioning and communicates with the operator via the OIT. The operator uses the OIT to adjust the process speed.

The Benefits

The Series 90 Micro PLC is much more accurate than the manual method and therefore material waste was significantly reduced. Also, set-up time between orders was reduced.

The Series 90 Micro PLC

This provided the best value for small applications. Features include:

Economical starter pack

PID functionality

Built-in potentiometers to set timer/counter presets

Compatibility with Series 90-30 PLC programming

28-point model has two communication ports

Pulse width modulation on DC output models

Pulse catch outputs on DC output models

Water and Wastewater Industry

Flood Control Monitoring

The Need

A reliable and cost-effective control system was needed to monitor and control the number of start and stop cycles, elapsed time, on/off status, and fault condition of flood control pumping stations.

The previous system used hardwired pilot lights, which conveyed only basic information to the operator and were difficult to maintain.

The Solution

The Series 90 Micro PLC was used with a compatible Operator Interface Unit (OIU) because of its proven reliability.

The Benefits

The Series 90 Micro PLC’s reliability and cost effectiveness are the most important benefits to this system. All of the 80 to 90 pumping stations are unmanned, so the high reliability of the Series 90

Micro PLC is a key benefit to the system. Also, through an operator interface unit, the Series 90

Micro PLC is able to convey information much more effectively than the previous pilot lights. This metering information can be used to help the maintenance team identify possible problem areas in the sewer line. The Series 90 Micro PLC provides valuable information about the capabilities of the existing sewer system to handle large amounts of water during heavy storms.

Sewage/Wastewater Lift Stations

The Need

A reliable control system was needed to replace a large cabinet containing 6 timers and 140 relays.

Lift stations located throughout a town were constantly failing and requiring emergency call-outs of electricians at all hours.

The control system is used to control the water level in a wet well. It operates two pumps alternately, each for a specified amount of time, to reduce the wear and tear on the pumps. It also monitors the valve check arms to verify that the switches are complete and that water is flowing properly. It must also monitor the operating temperature of the motors and shut down the motors if a thermal overload occurs.

The Solution

The Series 90 Micro PLC was chosen because it offers programming hardware and software compatibility with the Series 90-30 PLC, which was already being used.

In addition, the Series 90 Micro PLC’s high capacity for amperage allows the PLC to be directly wired to the coil of the motor starters. Competing brands of micro PLCs did not offer this capability.

The Benefits

Using the Series 90 Micro PLC eliminated the need for emergency maintenance call-outs. The decrease in overtime and downtime costs paid for the Series 90 Micro PLC in less than a month.

The Series 90 Micro PLC controls two

alternating pumps as they pump water from the 90 ft deep basin.

Wastewater Treatment

The Need

The customer needed to replace an electromechanical control as part of the redesign of wastewater treatment equipment. The system automatically adjusts treatment parameters in response to changes sensed in the influent. It also permanently records all operational functions, to provide information on every function of each cycle for whatever time reference desired. This information is used to indicate if service or maintenance is needed so the operator can use preventive measures to stop failures.

The Solution

Series 90 Micro PLCs were installed with a Series 90-30 PLC and CIMPLICITY InTouch software. The Series 90 Micro PLC was selected because it provides software compatibility with the Series 90-30 PLC.

The Benefits

The compact size and reliability of the Series 90 Micro PLC improved equipment performance and cost efficiency.

Water Flow Control

The Need

A control system that includes analog and discrete I/O was needed to monitor and control water flow through a treatment facility. Remote well sites are required to operate independently as well as receive override control from a master PLC site via RF modem or short haul modem.

The Solution

The Series 90 Micro PLC was chosen to be used with the Series 90-30 PLC and

CIMPLICITY InTouch and HMI software because of its compatibility and small footprint. The system was able to use Data-Linc Group modems and it was easy to program the logic.

The Benefits

The Series 90 Micro PLC and other GE products are proven to be very reliable and interface well with each other.

Water Management Office The master Series 90-30 PLC collects data from the remote Series 90 Micro PLCs and sends it to the CIMPLICITY system, which has overriding control of the system.

Wire Manufacturing Industry

Quality Control

The Need

A control system was needed to replace a strip chart that plotted the number of quality defects per

100 feet of wire produced. The data is used to correlate the quality of the wire to the process variables, temperature, and speed. The correlation will be used to achieve a level of Six Sigma

Quality.

The Solution

A system consisting of two Series 90 Micro PLCs and CIMPLICITY software was installed to interface with the existing Series 90-30 PLC. The Series 90 Micro PLCs collect quality data, the

Series 90-30 PLC collects process variable data, and the CIMPLICITY software correlates, trends, and analyzes the data. The Series 90 Micro PLC was selected because of its cost effectiveness.

The Benefits

The Series 90 Micro PLC automated the data transfer process so that the manual data retrieval and analysis associated with the strip chart was eliminated. The compact size of the Series 90 Micro

PLC was also a benefit to the system.

Woodworking Industry

Conveyor Chain Lubricator

The Need

A control system was needed to automatically lubricate the chains of a conveyor system to decrease wear on the chains.

The Solution

A 14-point Series 90 Micro PLC was selected because it is cost-effective and easily adjusted. The analog potentiometers of the Series 90 Micro PLC allow the operator to vary the time delay between lubrications and the amount of oil applied to the chain without programming equipment.

The Benefits

Material replacement costs were reduced because using the Series 90 Micro PLC system doubled the chain life. Also, the operation is much quieter.
