_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1.1-1 General

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop, which is a sub-set of the X-TEL Software

Workshop, is intended for the development of single PLC applications corre-

sponding to a single project and a single station. It is fully integrated into the

Presentation Manager (PM) Graphic User Interface environment for OS/2 and supports

IBM Common User Access (CUA) standards for the operating environment.

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop will run with OS/2 version 1.2, 1.3 or 2.1.

In this environment, MINI X-TEL ensures the functions of Program Integrator, Service

Generator and Application Manager.

It supports the development of an application for any of the following PLCs:

• TSX 17-20, TSX 27/47 (PL7-2 language),

• TSX V3, TSX V4, PMX V4 (PL7-3, PL7-3 GLT or PL7-3 GLD languages),

• TSX V5, PMX V5 (PL7-3, PL7-3 GLT or PL7-3 GLD languages).

Ease of use

• Access to the tools and functions is obtained from a single primary window,

• MINI X-TEL proposes only those functions that are compatible with the type of PLC selected,

• Under MINI X-TEL, an optional software program (or tool) is accessible as soon as it is installed. However, the user can inhibit the use of a function via a command accessible from the menu bar,

• MINI X-TEL can be started automatically as soon as the terminal is powered up, if the latter is equipped with OS/2 1.3 or higher.

The ability to run programs simultaneously

MINI X-TEL lets the user run several programs simultaneously, transition from one program to another is seamless and instantaneous.

Compatibility of a user program application with X-TEL

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop uses the same type of file tree structure as X-TEL, but it is strictly limited to a single project and a single station. Apart from this restriction, there is total compatibility between MINI X-TEL and X-TEL in the structure of the user files accessed.

Application Migration

• MINI X-TEL to X-TEL

An application developed under the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop can be transferred to an X-TEL Software Workshop. After the transfer, the application can be directly accessed without any additional operations, other than the usual selections permitting access to an X-TEL station (refer to Divider A, Sub-section 3.3).

• X-TEL to MINI X-TEL

An application developed under the X-TEL Software Workshop can be transferred to a MINI X-TEL Software Workshop (refer to Divider A, Sub-section 3.4).

• V4 to V5 level

MINI X-TEL can convert a V4 level application to V5 level (refer to Divider A, Subsection 3.5).

Remark

The MINI X-TEL and X-TEL Software Workshops cannot be installed simultaneously on the same terminal.

1.1-4 Application Manager

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop authorizes the development of single-PLC applications only and allows only one application to be accessible at a time.

This makes it necessary to have dedicated fields on the hard disk for:

• The creation and modification of the application (work space),

• The storage of the application (storage space).

Internally, the operation of going from one application to another can be summed up as copying the files from one space to the other

- Work space

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop manages a single PLC application limited to a

single project and a single station. Because it is unique, this application is implicit and constitutes the current application in the work space of the MINI X-TEL.

When MINI X-TEL is started, without any designation or choice of applications, all active commands (starting of a program, function, etc.) take effect on this current application as long as the user does not explicitly change the contents of the work space of the MINI X-TEL.

Any reloading of the MINI X-TEL work space overwrites the current application, which is therefore lost.

- Storage space

This space is used to store successive versions of the same application, or of different applications, so that they can be restored in the work space as required.

MINI X-TEL Terminology

• WORK SPACE : This is a storage field on a hard disk of the workstation, that is defined during the installation of the software workshop (by default, disk D).

• STORAGE SPACE: This is a storage field on the diskette or hard disk of the workstation (by default, the same disk as the work space). During the storage of an application, the user can specify the type of logical volume to use.

• PROJECT / STATION: MINI X-TEL can manage only a single project comprising a single station. The break down into Project/Station permits the physical compatibility of the applications with the X-TEL Software Workshop which permits a multi-project and multi-station break down.

- PROJECT: This is an automation application. The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop can manage a single-station project comprising one TSX Series 7 PLC.

A name of up to eight characters is assigned to the project.

- STATION: This is an integral part of the project. The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop can manage only one station in the same project.

A station is defined by a name of up to eight characters.

Introduction to MINI X-TEL 1

___________________________________________________________________________

PLC station terminology

• A FUNCTION is all or part of the automation application of a station. It is also referred to as a dedicated function.

Telemecanique modular PLCs are multifunction systems. Each function represents a dedicated function of the automation system.

Each function is assigned one or more intelligent I/O modules and a program for use in programming the function (including configuration, actual code programming, set-up and documentation). This functional breakdown only applies to TSX and

PMX 47/67/87/107-40 V4 or V5 level PLCs:

Example: Sequential programming of the processors

Axis control programming

Communication module programming

: PL7-3,

: PL7-AXE,

: PL7-COM.

Each dedicated function installed in the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop and compatible with the station of the work space can be used by the station without any prior declaration and has its own work space within the station work space.

• TOOLS are service programs that may or may not be integrated in the basic

MINI X-TEL Software Workshop. They increase the effectiveness and the productivity of the Software Workshop.

Tools are assigned to the declared station. Selecting a specific type of station affects the type of tools available for use.

Each basic or optional tool installed in the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop and compatible with the station of the work space can be used by the station without any prior declaration.

Example 1: Station TSX 17

Function: PL7-2

Tools available: XTEL-SDBASE:Symbol data base,

XTEL-CONTROL,

SYSDIAG (optional).

Example 2: Station TSX V4

Functions: PL7-3, PL7-AXE, PL7-COM.

Tools available: XTEL-MEM: Memory construction,

XTEL-SDBASE:Symbol data base,

XTEL-TRANSFER and XTEL-CONTROL,

XTEL-MOD: Modular program construction (optional),

APPLIDIAG (optional),

SYSDIAG (optional).

Example 3: Station PMX V5

Functions: PL7-3, PL7-PMS, PL7-COM.

Tools available: XTEL-CONF: Local & remote I/O configuration and application structure,

XTEL-SDBASE:Symbol data base,

___________________________________________________________________________

1.4 Access Rights

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop, the right of access is defined when the software is installed; by default it is defined as Program Max [6]. If the user wishes to define a different right of access, this can be done in the specific mode during the installation of the software. Six different access rights can be attributed:

- [1] Operate min. (Om)

- [3] Adjust min. (Am)

- [5] Program min. (Pm)

- [2] Operate Max. (OM)

- [4] Adjust Max. (AM)

- [6] Program Max. (PM)

Operate: Allows the installation operator to access the process to adjust the values of preset variables.

Adjust: Allows a maintenance technician to access the process and ensure continued production. This allows modification of variables and ensures that PLC Run/Stop incidents are resolved.

Program: Allows the project manager access to all of the functions of the Software

Workshop.

Access to the different tools and functions according to the access rights defined during installation are listed in Divider C, Section 2.

Remark

As the right of access is defined during installation, it can only be modified during a new installation of the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop.

2.1 Basic Tools

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The purpose of this section is to present the software tools of the MINI X-TEL Software

Workshop. These are described in detail in Divider D of the "X-TEL or MINI X-TEL

Software Workshop Basic Tools" manual, reference TXT DM TLS V4E, supplied with the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop, reference TXT L BJR V5.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.1-1 XTEL-CONF Tool

The XTEL-CONF tool is used to build the I/O configurations for local and remote racks connected by a FIPIO bus in TSX or PMX V5 level stations. It also supports automatic construction of the application structure based on the dedicated applications used by the station.

The main applications that can be used are

• PL7-3,PL7-3 GLD/GLT : Sequential PLC programming

• PL7-AXE

• PL7-COM

: Axis control programming

: Communication module programming

• PL7-PCL

• PL7-PMS/PMS2

• PL7-MMI

: Analog input module programming

: PMX process control programming

: Man-machine interface programming

XTEL-CONF CAN ONLY BE USED WITH V5 LEVEL PLCs.

Before using XTEL-CONF, the user must install the required dedicated programs in the station. If this phase is omitted, XTEL-CONF will not be able to correctly assign the fields required by the various dedicated programs. Any change in the functions used requires running the automatic configuration generation routine again.

XTEL-CONF can only be used on TSXV5 or PMXV5 type stations and supports the following main functions:

●

Defining the processor type and its memory cartridge size and type,

●

Configuring PLC I/O: local I/O in the PLC rack and remote I/O accessed via a FIPIO bus,

Configuring task sampling periods,

Building the application structure from configuration parameters and the dedicated functions declared for the station.

All of the functions supported by XTEL-CONF and how to use them is described in detail in the "X-TEL or MINI X-TEL Basic Tools" manual, Divider D - Section 1.

XTEL-MEM IS USED ONLY WITH V4 PLCs

Before using XTEL-MEM, the user must define the dedicated tools that will be used by the Station. If this phase is skipped, the tool will not be able to correctly define the various fields required by the dedicated functions. Any change in the tools used requires remapping of the fields.

XTEL-MEM supports functions used during the design and integration phases of an application:

• PLC processor type selection,

• Memory mapping definition,

• Binary code integration and chaining when creating or modifying an application,

• Elaboration of the associated on-line files,

• Binary code version management.

In addition, XTEL-MEM lets the user:

• Extract the binary code of the various functions that make up the application from the stored application file,

• Integrate the binary code of a function into an application file. When this is done, only binary code from functions declared when the application file was created can be integrated, up to the limit of the available assigned memory space.

All of the functions supported by XTEL-CONF and how to use them is described in detail in the "X-TEL or MINI X-TEL Basic Tools" manual, Divider D - Section 2.

3.1 PC/PS-DOS Application Migration

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Import and Export actions can be accessed on the action bar of the MINI X-TEL primary window via the File menu.

Import

Import allows the user to import files that are external to the MINI X-TEL Software

Workshop into the directory of a function or tool of the current application in the work space.

• To import a file it is important to know where it is located:

Logical drive\Directory\Sub-directory\...\

PL7-2: Recovering files generated under PL7-2 DOS

The default file tree is:

PL7-2 TSX 27/47 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJCODE2\Filename

PL7-2 TSX 17 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJ_2_17\Filename

PL7-3: Recovering files generated under PL7-3 DOS

The default file tree is:

PL7-3 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJCODE3\Filename

USER is the default project name. This name can be changed by the application designer.

PL7-X: Importing X-TEL files

The file tree is:

Logical Drive\XPROPRJ\PROJECT\STATION\FUNCTION\ZONE

• To import a file it is essential to know its directory in the target station field. The user must only select the storage field:

APPLI or MOD.

Each PL7-X function describes the detailed usage of these fields. In general, most files are imported into the APPLI field (e.g. .BIN, .DAT, .SCY files) while source files

(e.g. .LIT, .LAD files) are stored in the MOD field.

Export

Export lets the user export files generated by the PL7-X functions of the Software

Workshop from the MINI X-TEL storage tree. The user must specify the target logical device and the required path before the transfer can be performed.

Application Migration 3

___________________________________________________________________________

3.2 Application Backup/Restore Actions

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

These actions are available from the MINI X-TEL primary window via the File menu.

Using these actions, the user can:

• Backup the current application in the work space to one or more diskettes, with all of its assigned Functions and Tools,

• Restore an application (that has been previously backed-up in a MINI X-TEL or X-TEL

Software Workshop by using the Backup action) from one or more diskettes to the

MINI X-TEL Software Workshop.

Note:

A Volume or a Project Backed-up on a terminal running OS/2 1.2 or 1.3 cannot be restored to a terminal running OS/2 1.1.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3.3 Application Migration from MINI X-TEL to X-TEL

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The transfer of a MINI X-TEL application to X-TEL is done by using the Backup/Restore actions of the MINI X-TEL and X-TEL Software Workshops (version V42).

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop uses a file tree structure of the same type as X-TEL, but is strictly limited to a single project and a single station. Apart from this restriction, the file tree structures are the same. Using the Backup and Restore actions, the user can:

• Backup the application in the MINI X-TEL work space onto n diskettes.

The backup is made in a way that is transparent to the user. In fact, the backup is made at the X-TEL "Project" level, but comprises only a single station.

The project and station names are implicit names generated by MINI X-TEL, but the user can change these implicit names for documentation purposes or to resolve any conflict of names in the X-TEL Software Workshop.

• Restore the application from these diskettes to the X-TEL Software Workshop.

The station restored is directly accessible by the X-TEL Software Workshop by the standard X-TEL procedures of selecting the project and station.

3.4 Application Migration from X-TEL to MINI X-TEL

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The transfer of an X-TEL application to MINI X-TEL is done by using the Backup/Restore actions of the X-TEL (version V42 or higher) and MINI X-TEL Software Workshops.

Using these actions, the user can:

• Backup an X-TEL (version V42 or higher) project or volume, containing the application to be transferred, onto n diskettes,

• Restore the application concerned from these diskettes to the MINI X-TEL Software

Workshop.

The user must choose, by successive selections, the station to be transferred.

The station transferred becomes the current station in the MINI X-TEL work space. The name of the project and the name of the station are those given under X-TEL.

___________________________________________________________________________

Remark 1

Restoring an X-TEL station under the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop has to be done in two steps. The user must introduce all the backup diskettes in

succession and then repeat this process. As the backing up of a project may involve a large number of diskettes, this operation can be limited by creating (under

X-TEL) a project dedicated to the transfer to MINI X-TEL, in which the station to be transferred can be selected by a Copy/Paste action. This fictitious project can then be backed up and transferred to MINI X-TEL on a limited number of diskettes (1 or

2 for a typical station of the TSX V4/V5 type).

Remark 2

Some tools and functions that are declared for a station generated under X-TEL cannot be installed in the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop. Therefore these tools and functions cannot be activated.

1.1 OS/2 - PM Version 1.2 and 1.3 Reminders

The OS/2 operating system and its Presentation Manager Graphic User Interface shows tasks and applications in their own windows. The Presentation Manager allows the user

On boot-up of the system under OS/2 and PM, the first two windows displayed are the

Group-Main and Desktop Manager windows created when OS/2 is installed on the system.

Group-Main window

This window lets the user select execution of the following tasks:

• File Manager:

Displays the directories of the various logical drives available on the system. It lets the user access commands that support directory and file management tasks.

Note:

No lock-outs are supported by the File Manager. This leaves the user free to copy, delete, duplicate and move files and directories.

• OS/2 Window:

Lets the user run an application in a text window.

___________________________________________________________________________

2.1 Window Presentation

The MINI X-TEL user environment uses the functions proposed by OS/2 and PM and displays the various data in windows.

______________________________________________________________________

2.1-1 MINI X-TEL Primary Window

The Primary Window is displayed when the user requests access to MINI X-TEL.

It is composed of:

• A title, which indicates the name of the station and its type,

MINI X-TEL: <Name of the station> [ <type of station> ]

• An "Action Bar", which groups the majority of the commands that can be applied to a station and gives access to the action invoking the Key Manager and supports access to the Help screens.

• A list, which indicates the functions and tools available for the current station. All the tools and functions installed in the terminal are directly available and displayed in this list without prior declaration. The user can choose to inhibit a tool or function, in this case the tool or function will still be displayed in the list with the caption [deleted] shown next to it. The list can be displayed in two formats, "text" or "graphic".

• A scroll bar, which allows the user to display all the tools and functions when the list is too long to be displayed in a single window.

The MINI X-TEL primary window displays the same fields as the OS/2-PM windows:

System menu, Minimize, Maximize, etc.

___________________________________________________________________________

2.1-2 MINI X-TEL Primary Window Action Bar

Ther MINI X-TEL Software Workshop uses the same action bar principles as OS/2 and

PM.

The action bar proposes several menus. Each menu displays a list of actions.

The commands that can be accessed from the action bar apply to the entire window.

Primary window action bar

Actions available in action bar menus

All the actions are displayed in the form of a list.

When an action is dimmed, it cannot be accessed.

The presence of a horizontal arrow lets the user access another level of choices.

Example : New

Keyboard shortcuts and mnemonic keys are also displayed:

Keyboard shortcut Example : Open Alt+O

Keyboard mnemonic key Example : New N

___________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________

2.1-3 MINI X-TEL Tool and Function Windows

The principle behind these windows is the same, but there are some variations:

The syntax of the window titles is as follows:

If the working field is blank, MINI X-TEL will display its own logo.

The menus accessed through the action bars are specific and specially designed for the features of each tool.

The PL7-X Functions Windows are not Presentation Manager windows but do support the ease of use provided by OS/2.

Window titles:

Title: TOOL NAME / MINI XTEL

These windows do not have action bars but use the same presentation as the present range of PL7-3 and PL7-2 programs. They do support the mouse.

The system menu is more detailed than those of other windows. Actions available there are described separately.

___________________________________________________________________________

2.1-4 Icons

An icon is a graphic representation of a Software Workshop window.

The system menu and its actions can always be accessed by positioning the cursor on the icon.

Mouse

Keyboard

Click on the left button

It is possible to change into an icon:

• The primary window

The icon obtained has the same name as the window.

Example: MINI X-TEL window: OVEN

[TSX V5]

MINI X-TEL: OVEN

[TSXV5]

• The window of a function being ex- ecuted

Example: PL7-3 window:

The icon obtained has the same name as the window.

The icon corresponds to a state of the application, that can be executed and recalled on request, but does not occupy the screen.

XTEL: Function

-pl7_3- Oven_Fact_1

• The window of a tool that is open.

Example: XTEL-MEM tool

The icon obtained has the same name as the window.

XTEL:

Station_Tools

___________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________

2.1-5 Dialog Boxes

MINI X-TEL Software Workshop actions often require that the user enter additional information before performing the required action. In this case, MINI X-TEL opens a dialog box that requests entry by the user of the appropriate additional information.

A dialog box is an easy way for MINI X-TEL to ask questions to the user.

Like a window, a dialog box comprises a:

• Title that is context dependent,

• System menu.

A dialog box usually comprises three fields:

• A list of possible choices. This list is context dependent,

• The data entry field for the user to enter the required information,

• Buttons for validating or cancelling the entries made.

All dialog boxes have up to three buttons:

• OK: Validates the selections or entries made in the dialog box,

• Cancel: Cancels the dialog box and does not make any changes,

• Help: Calls-up the on-line help screens.

and, in the case of a requested action an additional confirmation step with a choice between YES and NO may be displayed.

2.2 Using the Mouse

The environment for using the mouse in the Software Workshop is the same as OS/2.

A two-button mouse is used.

The symbol used when showing mouse commands is:

The main actions supported are:

Point: Position the cursor on the object to select or activate.

Click: Press button 1 on the mouse and release it after first pointing to the object.

Example: To reduce a window to the size of an icon,

Point to the minimize icon, then click on the mouse.

Double Click: Press and release mouse button 1 twice quickly after pointing to the selected object.

Example: To restore a window to full size from an icon,

Point to the icon and double click on the mouse.

Drag: Press and hold down the mouse button while moving the mouse. Release the button when the correct size is obtained or the correct position reached. An object can be dragged after it has been selected by pointing.

Example: Select an action from the menu.

Point to the action,

Click or Drag to the required action and Click on it.

The Mouse has two buttons. MINI X-TEL mainly uses the left-hand mouse button.

2.3 Using the Keyboard

All of the actions that can be performed with the mouse can also be performed from the keyboard.

Using the system:

• Function keys,

• Cursor keys,

• Specific numeric key functions,

• Key combinations accessed by pressing a key while holding down the Alt, Ctrl

(Control) or Shift keys for example.

Keyboard Shortcuts can be accessed directly from the active window and are shown in the pull-down menus.

Menu or Action mnemonic letters are usually displayed underlined. It is often the first letter of the action name.

There are often a number of different ways of selecting an action:

• Keyboard shortcut,

• Action or Menu mnemonic letter,

• Sequential access to the various steps.

Example: To select a menu action.

Complete action selection sequence:

F10 Selects the action bar,

→

> <

←

> Move the selection within the action bar,

< ↑ > < ↓ > Move the selection up and down the pull-down menus.

ENTER validates the selection made.

Action or Menu mnemonic letter:

3.3 System Menu Actions in Function Windows

The system menu in the functions windows is the same as in the OS/2 windows.

Note:

Font size with OS/2 1.3 and higher:

OS/2 proposes a choice of 5 fonts (8x8, 10x8, 14x8, 16x8 and 18x8).

The Font Size action changes the size of the characters and graphics displayed in the windows. The display always defaults to the Font Size 14x8.

Font Size 8x8

Selecting this action reduces the size of the help window while maintaining the same display contents displayed in a smaller character font.

This lets the user display multiple windows with as much information as possible displayed in each of them.

4.1 Presentation

On-line help is based on the Microsoft QuickHelp system and its user interface.

The system menu called-up with the help windows is similar to those of all other OS/2 as much text as possible in a reduced size window.

When the on-line help is called-up, the user can use the keyboard or the mouse to:

• Select menus,

• Move within the text,

• Move from one topic to another.

The help screen that is displayed is that of the current context. The user has a number of options for accessing additional information:

• Categories menu in the action bar,

• References menu in the action bar,

• Reverse video highlighted key words that call-up a specific help screen (click on the right mouse button to return to the original screen).

There are two types of help screens:

• General interest help screens that describe Software Workshop functions,

• Specific help screens that describe a window or a function.

The specific help screens are divided into two parts:

• A general description of the screen and its function,

• The possible actions.

1.4 Options Menu

This menu provides access to two commands that allow the user to:

• Delete from the application present in the MINI X-TEL work space, the files and directories required to use a tool or function.

This command only effects the work space and does not delete the tool or function installed in the terminal.

• Add to the application present in the MINI X-TEL work space, the files and directories required to use a tool or function.

This command only effects the work space and does not allow installation of a tool or function in the terminal.

These two commands also allow:

• Optimizing the disk space used by an application, by deleting the tools and functions that are not used in the application, thereby reducing the disk space required by the work space and any archive files.

• Optimizing the application memory field assignments.

The memory field is configured by default, taking into account the presence of the functions installed on the terminal. Deleting a function that is not used in the current application will therefore release memory space for the other functions used.

SS = 0 to 63 (station number).

___________________________________________________________________________

1 / 2 5

___________________________________________________________________________

• UNI-TELWAY address: The format is NN.SS.5.rm.cc

NN.SS: network address of the UNI-TELWAY data link master station, by default

0.254.

SS = 0 to 63 (station number).

5: number of the access gate.

rm: Rack-module address of the UNI-TELWAY data link master module.

rm = 0 to 77 for a TSX SCM UNI-TELWAY module, rm = 255 for a UNI-TELWAY link built-into the processor (SCI).

cc : Number of the channel assigned to the station.

cc = 0 to 255.

• FIPIO address: The format is NN.SS.8.2.pr.0

NN.SS: network address of the PLC connected to the FIPIO bus, by default 0.254.

NN = 0 to 127 (network number),

SS = 0 to 63 (station number).

pr: Target connection point.

Saves the specified work address.

If the entry is not correct, a message is displayed and the system waits for a new entry or cancellation of the operation.

Cancel

Cancels the operation. The dialog box is deleted. No information is created or modified in MINI X-TEL.

1.5-2 Defining the Communication Mode and Type of Connection

The Drivers command permits selection of the communication mode and the type of connection of the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop with a local or remote station:

___________________________________________________________________________

1 / 2 6

MINI X-TEL Primary Window 1

___________________________________________________________________________

• Via the programming port

Use of the driver (TSXPC01) supplied with MINI X-TEL. This mode is selected by default.

• Via a UNI-TELWAY bus

The terminal must be equipped with the driver that is supplied in the form of a diskette with the TXT L BJR V5 software package. The installation and use of this driver are described in Divider C, Section 4.

Depending on the configuration of the driver, the terminal switches to:

- Either a UNI-TELWAY bus,

- Or to a telephone network via a modem (internal or external), which permits the remote maintenance of an installation over a long distance.

• Via a FIPWAY network or a FIPIO bus

The terminal must be equipped with the driver that is supplied separately in the form of a diskette and interface board to install in the terminal. Installation and operation of this driver are described in the dedicated TXT DM FPC 10M manual. Depending on the configuration of the driver, the terminal switches to:

- Either a FIPWAY network,

- Or to a FIPIO bus.

TSXPC01

Selects the programming port mode of communication.

UNTLW01

Selects the UNI-TELWAY bus driver mode of communication, if the latter is installed.

FIP01

Selects the FIPWAY network or FIPIO bus driver, depending on the driver configuration selected.

Note 1

The programming port driver is common to all TSX Series 7 PLCs, whether the connection is made using RS-485 or current loop.

When FTX 417 or FTX 507 terminal is used:

Connection is automatically established via the dedicated Telemecanique PLC port.

The hardware connection is established directly without the need for any other connection interfaces:

• Modular PLCs: Use a T FTX CB 7 4 (FTX 417) or T FTX CB 7 5 (FTX 507) cable,

• Compact PLCs: Use a T FTX CB 17 5 cable.

When an IBM PC-PS/2 or equivalent compatible microcomputer is used

Switch over is automatic. The user must however change the actual connections. It is recommended that cables always be connected or disconnected with the microcomputer powered-down.

• TSX 27 to TSX 107-420 PLCs: Use the TSX TAC03 conversion package,

• TSX 17-20: Use the TSX17 ACC PC package.

Note 2

As the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop cannot access a MAPWAY network, the MAPWAY driver

MAPWAY01 cannot be installed under the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop.

1.6 Keymgr Menu

The Telemecanique programs are delivered with a software key module (the original key module) containing the rights of use.

B as XTEL-MEM, and XTEL-TRANSFER require the presence of the MINI X-TEL right of use installed in the software key module.

The original key module lets the user access the basic tools of the Software Workshop.

However, each optional tool or PL7-X function is individually protected with its own original key module.

In order to access a number of programs simultaneously on the same machine, the various rights of use must be combined into a single key module. The Key Manager tool supplied with the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop permits this operation.

The KeyMngr menu gives access to the Key Manager tool.

The primary window of the Key Manager tool shows the characteristics of the software key modules in the software key support (number and type of key, access rights, etc.).

It allows the user to select the required function on one of the two menus proposed in the action bar.

2.1 Presentation

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Key Manager program is a standard function that is accessed from the main window in the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop.

The X-TEL or MINI X-TEL Software Workshops are not protected and in X-TEL, the various directories and storage layout paths can be created without a software key module actually being fitted to the system.

However the programs supplied with the Software Workshop such as XTEL-CONF (for

TSXV5 or PMXV5 stations) or XTEL-MEM (for TSXV4 or PMXV4 stations) and

XTEL-TRANSFER require presence of the X-TEL right of use installed in the key module present on the terminal.

The original key module lets the user access the basic functions of the Software

Workshop. The various optional programs are individually protected with their own original key modules.

In order to access a number of programs simultaneously on the same machine, the various rights of use must be combined into a single key module. The installation procedure handles the various steps that ensure that the user has a usable work key module.

A key module can take six different states:

• Original key module:

The key module supplied with the program contains the original right of use.

• Work key module:

The key module comprises the rights of use after the backup key has been made.

• Backup key module:

A copy of the rights of use available for backup purposes.

• Help (emergency) key module:

A key module that lets the user continue to use the program for a limited amount of time after a work key module failure.

• Empty key module:

A key module after its rights of use have been transferred.

• Temporary pass key module:

A key module with a limited service life that lets the user continue to use all

Telemecanique programs in X-TEL or MINI X-TEL.

• Incremental key module:

A key module that is used to upgrade the rights of use in an original key module to the latest version.

2.2 Functions

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.2-1 Station Configuration

Telemecanique programs are supplied with a software key module with a right of use.

This key module is called the original key module.

Before using the software key module, the user must perform the steps described in this section.

Transfer the right of use

To use a number of different programs simultaneously, combining their rights of use into a single software key module is recommended. This operation comprises transferring the rights. A right of use can only be transferred from an original key module.

Once a transfer has been completed, for as many rights of use as required, a single work key module contains all of the rights of use. The original key modules have become empty key modules.

___________________________________________________________________________

2.2-2 Using the Station

Once the rights of use have been transferred to a single original software key module, it is strongly recommended that a backup key module be made.

The backup operation creates a backup key module that the user should be sure to store in a safe place. It is now possible for the user to start using the workstation with the work key module just created.

Work Key

α β

Backup Key

α β

Work Key

Empty Key

Reversible operation

Store in a safe place

The backup key module is created using a empty key module.

Note:

The reverse operation, returning the rights of use to the original software key modules, regenerates an original key from a work key module and a backup key.

Normal operation of the workstation is only possible with a work key module that contains the rights of use for all of the programs that are installed on the workstation.

A program can only be started if its right of use is present.

During program execution, a regular check is made to ensure that the correct right of use is present in the work key module.

If the work key module fails or is removed, the program informs the user that any work in progress must be saved immediately and the workstation correctly and completely shutdown using the Shutdown action(*). After approximately 10 minutes, the program stops execution making it impossible to save any data on the application if it is still open.

(*) Under OS/2, all open tasks should be closed before powering down the system.

The backup key module should be kept in a safe place. It does not allow the user to use the rights it contains directly, this is only possible with the work key, but it does let the user:

• Create an help key module that provides approximately 200 hours of operation, giving time to procure a replacement for the failed work key module.

• A means of proving the rights of use that were originally transferred to the work key module should the latter fail.

___________________________________________________________________________

2 / 4

Key Manager Tool 2

___________________________________________________________________________

2.2-3 Running the Application after a Key Module Failure

Despite the care taken during production of the software key modules, it is always possible that a failure may occur occasionally.

To ensure that the user can continue to use their programs while a replacement is being obtained, a help key module can be created.

The help key module supports approximately 200 hours of operation, equal to approximately 25 eight hour working days.

The time base retained is 15 minutes. This means that the working life of the help key module is reduced by 15 minutes each time one of the programs that it contains a right of use for remains in service for 15 minutes.

When the 200 hours available are used up, the help key module can no longer be used.

Its service life cannot be extended.

As soon as a failure is detected on a workstation, the user should:

• Save work in progress,

• Retrieve the backup key previously stored in a safe place and along with the failed work key module and an empty key module, proceed to create an help key module,

• Create an help key module (Create action). When this action is complete, the backup key module will become an “inhibited key module”, no longer able to generate help key modules and the empty key module becomes the help key module that allows operation to proceed,

• Return the failed work key module and the inhibited key module to Telemecanique for replacement.

2.4-4 Backup Action

The Backup action should be used before any application program is used on the workstation.

This operation requires inserting a key module into both slots A and B:

• The original key module with the various rights of use for the programs to be used, and

• An empty (blank) key module.

Once the backup operation is complete,

• The original key module becomes the work key module, and

• The empty key module becomes a backup key module.

The screen shown below displays the status of the two key modules before the backup action is performed:

2.4-5 Restore Action

The Restore action has the opposite effect to the Backup action.

This operation requires inserting a key module into both slots A and B:

• The work key module with the various rights of use for the programs used, and

• The appropriate backup key module for the work key module.

Once the Restore procedure is complete,

• The work key module becomes the original key module again. Therefore the rights of use that it contains can be transferred to another key module using the Transfer action, and

• The backup key module becomes an empty key module again.

The screen shown below displays the status of the two key modules before the restore action is run:

2.4-6 Create Action

This action lets the user create a help key module in order to continue working in the event of a work key module failure.

This operation requires inserting a key module into both slots A and B:

• The backup key module for the failed work key module, and

• An empty key module.

Selecting the Create action causes the following screen to be displayed:

Once the help key module has been created, the following screen displays the status of the two screens:

When this operation is complete,

• The backup key module becomes an inhibited backup key module and cannot be used,

• The empty key module becomes a help key module. A help key module lets the user continue to use the application programs for up to 200 working hours.

Warning:

The faulty work key module and the inhibited backup key module must both be returned to Telemecanique together for replacement.

2.4-7 Increment Action

The increment action, with an incremental key module and an original key module containing the right of use for version level n of a program, allows the user to create a new original key module with the right of use for the same program at version level n+1.

This action therefore allows the user to update an existing installed base of systems (e.g.

upgrading from MINI X-TEL version V43 to V5).

This operation requires inserting key module in both slots A and B:

• The incremental key module,

• The original key module containing the initial right of use for the program used.

The screen below shows the status of the two key modules prior to running the increment action:

Activating the increment action displays the dialog box shown on the next page.

: Cancels the incrementation procedure and returns the user to the

Key Manager primary window.

Once the increment action is complete,

• The original key module containing the right of use for version level n becomes the original key module containing the right of user for version level n+1. Therefore all of the rights of use that it contains can be transferred to another key module using the

Transfer action.

• The incremental key module becomes an empty key module.

The screen below shows the status of the two modules once the increment action is complete.

4.1 Using the UNI-TELWAY Driver

4.1-1 General

The UNI-TELWAY driver in MINI X-TEL is used in 2 types of applications:

B comprising an extended UNI-TELWAY bus by permitting the connection of a MINI X-TEL terminal at any point on the bus.

- When remotely connected via modems, it permits the point to point connection of a

MINI X-TEL terminal to a PLC, via modems and the telephone network, for the purpose of remote maintenance.

In both cases, all the functions of the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop are available: transfer, debugging, programming, etc.

The MINI X-TEL station behaves as a UNI-TELWAY slave and can be logically connected via the master to any other device within an X-WAY architecture, providing that the communication does not pass through any other UNI-TELWAY slave (i.e. within the normal limits of X-WAY transparency).

Once the driver and the bus master have been correctly configured, the communication is completely transparent to the user, apart from the question of performance which naturally depends on the amount of traffic on the UNI-TELWAY bus.

4.1-2 Hardware Installation

• Direct connection to the UNI-TELWAY bus

The MINI X-TEL station is connected to the bus by a branch cable connected to a

TSX SCA 62 subscriber socket either:

- Directly if the X-TEL station is equipped with an RS485 port (COM2 on an FTX 507 for example),

- Via a TSX SCA 72 converter (RS232/RS485) in other cases.

Remark

As the data link addresses are configured by software in the driver, it is not necessary to reconfigure them in the TSX SCA 62 subscriber sockets.

___________________________________________________________________________

4 / 3

___________________________________________________________________________

• Connection via modems

- PLC side:

The reference numbers of the modules that can be used are as follows:

The TSX SCM 2111 module with UNI-TELWAY on channel 1, and TSX SCA1 adapter (RS-232, 6 signals),

The TSX SCM 2113 module with UNI-TELWAY on channel 1, and TSX SCA3 adapter (RS-232, 9 signals).

- For the TSX 17, the TSX SCG 113 UNI-TELWAY module with 9-signal adapter.

Remark

The UNI-TELWAY module can be equipped with either the RS232 6-signal adapter (SCA1), or the RS232 9-signal adapter (SCA3). The additional signals handled by the SCA3 adapter are as follows:

- DSR (Data Set Ready): indicates that the modem is powered-up (forced in the

SCA1),

- RI (Ring Indicator): indicates that the modem has received a call,

- DSRS: bit rate selection.

The use of automatic response modems, which is generally the case (V25 standard), allows the user to ignore these signals and to use either the

TSX SCM 2111 module or the TSX SCM 2113 module.

- PC side, two modes of connection are possible:

- The use of external modems (cased); in this case the RS232 port of the PC is used

(COM1 on FTX 507)

- The use of a built-in modem card; in this case the connecting cable to the telephone socket is supplied by the manufacturer of the modem.

Remark

Telemecanique does not sell modems, but can advise its customers concerning their selection and use.

Principle of operation

During installation (see Divider B, Sub-section 5.6), a certain number of slave data link addresses are assigned to the driver, which must also be configured in the master of the

UNI-TELWAY bus.

The number of data link addresses defined corresponds to the maximum number of

X-TEL tools that can be simultaneously used in the connected mode.

• 1st case: Direct connection to UNI-TELWAY:

After the X-TEL station is connected to the bus, as soon as the user runs a tool in the connected mode, the driver will reply to the pollings transmitted by the master to all the addresses configured (refer to the following diagram). The communication of tool 1 with the remote device will use the first data link address defined in the driver.

If the user runs a second tool in the connected mode, the second data link address will be used, and so on.

Similarly, when a tool is shut down or when the local mode is selected, the communication will be interrupted on the corresponding data link, the driver then merely replies to the polling of the master on this address. When the last tool is shut down, the driver stops replying to all the addresses with which it is concerned and is then considered as disconnected by the bus master. The master then polls these addresses periodically (once every 10 cycles), as it would for any slave station.

IMPORTANT

If the master does not poll all the data link addresses configured in the driver, the latter goes into the fault mode. It is therefore essential to configure all the addresses of the UNI-TELWAY driver in the bus master.

• 2nd case: Connection via modems

The principle described in the preceding paragraph remains true. The only difference is that after the start of the first tool in the connected mode, the driver transmits the call sequence of the remote modem to the local modem. The local modem then dials the number and makes the telephone connection. Once the communication is established, the driver starts to reply to the polling on all the data link addresses, in the same way as for direct connection. The operation is then the same until the shut down of the last tool, after which the driver forces the disconnection of the local modem.

Subsequently, any new X-TEL tool that is run causes the start of a new call sequence.

4.1-3 Performance

The performance of MINI X-TEL when connected to a UNI-TELWAY bus depends on the following factors:

- The number of devices connected to the bus,

- The data transfer rate (with or without modems),

- The time out of the master,

- The number of data link addresses defined in the driver,

- The number of X-TEL tools that are simultaneously connected,

- The use of communication-intensive functions, such as transfer for example.

Some of these factors are common to any use of the UNI-TELWAY bus. The installation procedures are therefore described in the corresponding reference manual

(TSX D24004E).

Others are specific to the UNI-TELWAY driver and the user must take care not to disturb the rest of the communication on the bus by an excessive use of MINI X-TEL in the connected mode.

4.1-4 Selection of the Configuration Parameters

The creation or modification of the configuration of the driver is described in Divider B,

Sub-section 5.6. Only the complementary parameters are described below.

• In the case of direct connection

- Configuration of the driver:

Various configuration parameters of the driver are defined on installation or afterwards by accessing the "UNI-TELWAY DRIVER CONFIGURATION" menu of the Telemecanique group. These are:

- The communication port of the PC and the transfer rate of the line. These depend on the existing hardware, i.e. the type of PC used and the UNI-TELWAY bus that the user wants to connect to.

- The reception address of unsolicited data. The address provided for receiving unsolicited data is not at present managed by MINI X-TEL. The address 0 must therefore be entered, corresponding to no unsolicited data.

- The data link addresses. These addresses and their direct influence on the overall performance of the UNI-TELWAY bus are described in the previous section. In general, it is best to stick to the default configuration proposed during the installation procedure, i.e. 2 data link addresses.

- Configuration of the master:

The configuration parameters are those described in the manual of the TSX SCM 21.6

UNI-TELWAY module (TSX D24005E). Take care to configure all the data link addresses defined in the driver, otherwise no communication will be possible.

___________________________________________________________________________

4 / 9

___________________________________________________________________________

• In the case of connection via modem:

- Configuration of the driver

- Basic parameters: the transfer rate and the communication port depend on the

B and PC for information concerning these parameters.

- Data link addresses: the number of data link addresses of the driver should be limited, due to the drop in the transfer rate caused by modems on the line. On the other hand, at least two data link addresses should be configured so as to be able to pass from one tool to another without the calling modem hanging up the telephone line. When the second tool is run, the first one must be shut down; which is impossible if only one data link address is defined. As the MINI X-TEL station is connected to the PLC in the point to point mode, it is recommended to use data

link addresses 1 and 2 to obtain optimum service.

- Modem parameters: the call number must be to the following Hayes standard:

P for pulse dialing,

T for touch tone dialing,

W for await tone.

Example : T011W2125551234 for the touch tone dialling of subscriber 1234 in the

New York area from outside the country.

IMPORTANT:

The entry of a new number is immediately taken into account by the driver, without it being necessary to reboot the PC. However, the modification of any other installation parameter does not become effective until the PC is rebooted.

- Configuration of the master

- Since the master/slave data link is point to point, two addresses to be polled must also be defined in the master: data link addresses 1 and 2.

- The Time Out of the data link level must be selected according to the transmission speed.

In the Programming and Installation

Manual of the TSX SCM 2116 module

(Ref. No. D24005E), the recommended

Time Out is more than the transmission time of 10 characters, to which must be added the delay due to the modems. In practice, the values shown opposite give satisfactory results.

Speed

300/600 bps

1200/2400 bps

4800/9600 bps

Time Out

1000 ms

500 ms

200 ms

Using the UNI-TELWAY Driver 4

___________________________________________________________________________

Tests have shown that there is little disadvantage in having a long Time Out, in so far as only one address at the maximum is not polled, this Time Out will occur only once every 10 successful pollings of the other address.

4.1-5 Characteristics of the Modems:

The modems must have the following characteristics:

Conformity with one of the following CCITT notices: V22,V22bis,V32,

Asynchronous transmission mode,

Support the Hayes (or AT) command set,

Automatic answering destination side (V25),

RTC or LS transmission medium, as required,

V24 junction,

11-bit character format: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 odd parity bit, 1 stop bit,

If an internal modem is used, the card must be ISA or MCA bus compatible.

IMPORTANT:

Experience shows that different behavior can be observed among modems that conform to the same standards. It has also been observed that certain modems operate correctly with certain PCs, but not with others (limits of compatibility, etc.)

We therefore advise users who do not have the appropriate means of investigation (line analyzer in particular) to ask their local Telemecanique office for the list of approved modems before choosing their equipment.

___________________________________________________________________________

4.1-6 Configuration of the Modems

On the calling side (PC & MINI X-TEL), the driver takes care of configuring certain parameters of the modem by sending it the appropriate Hayes command sequence, in

On the called side, the configuration of the modem is the responsibility of the user.

Depending on their type, the modems can be configured in different ways: by switches, by programming on the front panel, or by programming from a remote terminal by means of the Hayes commands.

The minimum parameters to be configured are described below, together with the corresponding Hayes commands.

• Parameters common to both modems:

The following parameters must be configured in the same way in both modems:

- Environment

- Type of modulation: V22, V22bis,... (certain modems recognize the type of modulation automatically) [ATB and ATF],

- Data transfer rate,

- Asynchronous mode [AT&M0],

Number of bits per character: 11 bits comprising 1 start bit, 1 stop bit , 1 odd parity bit and 8 data bits [configurable by register],

- Quality of the line: specialized or RTC [AT&L],

- Signal management: all the signals are managed in a standard way

- DTR (108.2), Normal. In line mode, the change from the DTR to the OFF state forces the modem into the controlled mode and interrupts the communication.

When the DTR is ON the modem is ready and connects if a call arrives [AT&D2],

- RTS, Normal. The CTS (106) follows the RTS (105) without delay [AT&R0],

Depending on the modems, the RTS/CTS delay can be defined in a register, or by another command [AT*DL0],

- CD (109), Normal. ON when connected and follows the carrier in normal operation. OFF when the modem is disconnected [AT&C1],

- DSR (107), Normal. ON during communication [AT*MR0].

• Parameters specific to the calling modem:

- It must be configured in the calling mode [AT*CA0],

- Selection of pulse or touch-tone dialling [the character P pulse, or T tone is transmitted by the driver to the modem during the dialling command phase],

- Selection of the unit of time for pulse dialling [AT&P1],

- The call number is transmitted to the modem by the driver.

• Parameters specific to the called modem:

- It must be configured in the called mode [AT*CA1].
