General
LMV5... LMV5... is a microprocessor-based burner management system with matching system
components for the control and supervision of forced draft burners of medium to high
capacity.

AZL... The burner management system is operated and programmed with the help of the
AZL5... display and operating unit or a PC tool.
The Modbus functionality of the AZL... display and operating unit serves for integrating
the LMV5... burner management system into a Modbus-based data network.
This makes possible the following applications:

- Visualization of plant operating states

- Plant control
- Logging

Master-slave principle

Communication between Modbus users takes place according to the master-slave

principle.

The AZL... always works as a slave.

Data transmission

Transmission mode (RTU)

– The transmission mode used is RTU (Remote Terminal Unit)

– Data are transmitted in binary format (hexadecimal) with 8 bits
– The LSB (least significant bit) is transmitted first
– ASCII operating mode is not supported

Structure of data blocks

All data blocks use the same structure:

Data structure Slave address Function code Data field Checksum CRC16
1 byte 1 byte x byte 2 bytes

Every data block contains 4 fields:

Slave address Device address of a certain slave

Function code Function selection (reading / writing words)

Data field Contains the following information:

- Word address
- Number of words
- Word value

Checksum Identification of transmission errors

Checksum (CRC16)

The checksum (CRC16) is used to detect transmission errors. If, during evaluation, an
error is detected, the relevant device will not respond.

Calculation scheme CRC = 0xFFFF

CRC = CRC XOR ByteOfMessage
For (1 through 8)
CRC = SHR (CRC)
if (flag shifted at right = 1)
then else
CRC = CRC XOR
0xA001
while (not all ByteOfMessage handled)

 Note!
The low-byte of the checksum is transmitted first.

Example Data query: Reading 2 words from address 6 (CRC16 = 0x24A0)

0B 03 00 06 00 02 A0 24
CRC16

Reply: (CRC16 = 0x0561)

Communication process

Start and end of a data block are characterized by transmission pauses. The maximum
permissible time between 2 successive characters is 3.5 times the time required for the
transmission of once character.
The character transmission time is dependent on the Baud rate and the data format
used.

Having a data format of 8 data bits, no parity bit and one stop, the character transmis-
sion time is calculated as follows:

Character transmission time [ms] = 1000 * 9 bits / Baud rate

And with other data formats:

Character transmission time [ms] = 1000 * 10 bits / Baud rate

Process Data query from the master

Transmission time = n characters * 1000 * x bits / Baud rate

Marking for end of data query

3.5 characters * 1000 * x bits / Baud rate

Data query handling by the slave

Reply of slave
Transmission time = n characters * 1000 * x bits / Baud rate

Marking for end of reply

3.5 characters * 1000 * x bits / Baud rate

Example Marking for data query or end of reply with data format 10 / 9 bits

Waiting time = 3.5 characters * 1000 * x bits / Baud rate

Baud rate [Baud] Data format [bit] Waiting time [ms]

Data query process
Time diagram A data query is made according to the following time diagram:

Master Data query Data query

Slave Reply

7550z08e/0703 t0 t1 t0 t2
where:
t0 Marking for end = 3.5 characters (time is dependent on the Baud rate)
t1 This time is dependent on internal handling; the maximum handling time is de-
pendent on the data type (internal and external data) and on the number of data;
for more detailed information, see below!
t2 t2  20 ms
This time is required by the device to switch from transmitting back to receiving;
this time must be observed by the master before a new data query is made; it
must always be observed, even if a new data query to some other device is made

Communication during the slave’s internal handling time

During the slave’s internal handling time, the master is not allowed to make any data
queries. The slave ignores data queries made during this period of time.

Communication during the slave’s reply time

During the slave’s reply time, the master is not allowed to make any data queries. Data
queries made during this period of time cause all data on the bus at this instant to be
deleted.

Number of messages
The number of addresses per message are limited:
 20 addresses of the size of one word when reading
 6 addresses of the size of one word when writing

Reply time of AZL... to a message from the master

1. Reading data from the LMV5... system:

1...3 addresses 25...75 ms

4...9 addresses 75...125 ms
10...15 addresses 125...175 ms
16...20 addresses 175...225 ms

Note!
 These periods of time are defined from the complete writing of the message from the
master to sending the first byte by the AZL...

2. Writing data to the LMV5... system:

1 address 25...75 ms
2...3 addresses 75...125 ms
4...5 addresses 125...175 ms
6 addresses 175...225 ms

Starting adaption via Modbus

The routine used for identifying the path in the integrated load controller (termed “adap-
tion“ here) of the LMV5... system can be controlled and monitored via Modbus.

In principle, the general conditions are the same as those used when making adaptions
with the AZL52... (refer to subsection 6.4.2 Self-setting of control parameters (adap-
tion)) in the Basic Documentation of the LMV5... system (P7550).

The terms Start adaption, Adaption active / inactive and Adaption state indicate the
respective Modbus addresses (refer to ”Table of addresses”).

Start the adaption via Start adaption and change the value from  1 to = 1.
Starting the adaption has no impact on adaption processes already under way
(Adaption active / inactive = 1).

If Adaption active / inactive = 1, the process can be monitored via Adaption state (refer
to data type PT_ADAPTION).
When Adaption active / inactive = 0, the adaption process is completed.
On completion of the process, the result can be read out via Adaption state.

To complete the adaption process prematurely, the value at Start adaption must be
changed from  2 to = 2.

Updating rate of AZL...
Fast System data that have already been updated automatically by the system process are
available on request, at a typical repetition rate of 200 ms.

Medium These data are cyclically queried in the system by the AZL... The typical updating rate
here is 5 seconds, depending on system load.

Slow These data are cyclically queried in the system by the AZL... The typical updating rate
that can be expected here is 25 seconds, depending on system load.

Constant These data are updated in the system by the AZL5... upon each Power On or reset.
When making a query, the updated data will be available after 25 seconds.
Data that cannot be changed (e.g. the production date, etc.) – neither with the AZL5...
nor via the ACS450 – can be identified by the value of 0 in the first Byte of the strings.

Upon reset Same as constant data, but these data can be changed in the system.

Error handling
Error codes When there are faulty telegrams (CRC errors, etc.), the AZL… does not send any ex-
ception code. It does not respond to this kind of message.

Reason: Usually, the commercially available Modbus drivers do not respond to excep-
tion codes.

«Operation»  «OptgModeSelect»  «GatewayBASon».

Having made the selection, the menu item can be quit via ESC. The setting is retained
until «Operation»  «OptgModeSelect»  «GatewayBASoff» is selected via the
AZL… menu.

When «GatewayBASon» is activated, plant operation and diagnostics via the AZL... are
still possible.

Deactivation takes place via menu

«Operation»  «OptgModeSelect»  «GatewayBASoff».

Slave address

Selection is made via menu

«Params & Display»  «AZL»  «Modbus» «Address».

According to Modicon specifications, addresses between 1...247 can be selected. The

slave address is filed in nonvolatile memory of the AZL...

Transmission parameters

Transmission rate The setting is made via menu

«Params & Display»  «AZL»  «Modbus»  «Baud Rate»
There is a choice of 9600 bit/s or 19200 bit/s.

Parity Using the AZL... menu

«Params & Display»  «AZL»  «Modbus»  «Parity», parity can be set to
«none», «even» or «odd».

Timeout communication failure

When there is no Modbus communication, this timeout defines the period of time on
completion of which the AZL… changes automatically from Remote to Local.

The setting is made via menu

«Params & Display»  «AZL»  «Modbus»  «Downtime».

AZL5... interface

General

The AZL... serves the Modbus via its COM2 port (8-pole Western jack RJ45). The port
is assigned to the functional low-voltage range.

Assignment of RJ45 pins:

PIN
1 TXD (RS-232 level or V28)
2 Not used
3 RXD (RS-232 level or V28)
4 GND
5 U1 (typically +8.2V)
6 GND
7 U2 (typically -8.2V)
8 Not used

Attention!
When preparing and fitting a connecting cable between the AZL... and a con-
verter, it is to be noted that PIN 5 and PIN 7 can deliver a current of 5 mA each.
Adequate insulation against other potentials must be ensured.

The maximum permissible data line length between COM2 and a converter is 3 m. In
exceptional cases, this data line length can be exceeded, depending on environmental
conditions (electrical interference) and the type of cable used – without Siemens as-
suming responsibility.

Attention!
To ensure protection against electric shock hazard, it must be made certain that
AC 230 V / AC 120 V lines are strictly separated from the functional low-voltage
area.

Converter RS-232 – RS-485
This converter converts a V.24 / RS-232 port into an RS-485 port.

Technical requirements

 Code transparency, that is, data must remain unchanged

 When using the RS-485 interface as a bus, control of the transmitting section on
the RS-485 side must be ensured by the transmitter power of the AZL...
 The interfaces must be galvanically separated to improve EMC

Commercially available converters

The technical specification provided by the suppliers of the converters must be ob-
served when doing planning work. Some of them do not meet the specifications of the
LMV5... system (e.g. operating temperatures). If required, technical measures must be
taken (e.g. suitable location).

The following types of converters have been tested by us with respect to function and
immunity (voltage surges):

Notes on operating modes

Modbus downtime

When there is no more communication between DDC and AZL..., the Modbus down-
time is used to switch over from Remote mode to the preselected setpoint in Local
mode. The timer will be activated when changing from Local to Remote. With every
permissible Modbus communication to this slave (AZL...), the timer will be reloaded.
Should the timer lapse, the DDC must again set the Remote mode, if required. The
timer value will be retained in EEPROM and will also be retained after power off.

Note!

 When deactivating the «Gateway DDC» mode (menu item «OptgModeSelect» 

«GatewayBASoff»), automatic changeover to Local takes place, that is, preselected
output «W1» will apply.

Changeover of operating mode via parameter 43

This changeover was introduced primarily because of the requirements of boiler se-
quence control.
In that case, the individual boiler can be operated at low output via manually «On».
When switching to «Auto» via sequence control, preselected output «W3» will be used.
