Working with a ProWORX 32 Project

Projects in Offline Mode To work with a controller offline, you must create a project for it. This project stores the controllers traffic cop and configuration information, its ladder logic, and descriptors of the controller and ladder logic. As you work in offline mode, editors modify this data. Because the offline editors are not connected directly to the controller, changes made in it do not take effect immediately. Instead, when you have finished programming, you can write all your changes to the controller at once. From the project right-click menu in the Navigation panel:
Step 1 Action Select Project State Offline.
Taking a Project Offline
Projects in Online Mode
To work with a controller online, select a project, and changes its mode to online. ProWORX 32 then attaches to that controller with the communications settings provided. The online editors read ladder logic, traffic cop information, register contents, and the controllers configuration directly from the controller and ProWORX 32 writes back to it. Changes made in the online mode take effect in the controller immediately, but dont appear in its project until you read from the controller. From the project right-click menu in the Navigation panel:
Step 1 Action Select Project State Online.
Taking a Project Online
Projects in Emulation Mode
To work with a controller in emulation mode, you first make sure that the project is in offline mode. Bringing a project into emulation mode allows you to emulate the solving of logic without needing a controller. From emulation mode, you can view the solving of logic, and the changing of register data. Use the online controls to start and stop the emulator. For more information, see Using Emulation Mode, p. 39. From the project right-click menu in the Navigation panel:
Step 1 Action Select Project State Emulation.

Projects in Combined Mode
Combined mode is a combination of offline and online modes. When a project is in combined mode, it attaches to the controller specified by the communication settings. All work done in the editors are made directly to the controller. Work done in the logic editor, traffic cop, and register editors are also saved back to the project file, so there is no immediate need to read from the controller to update the project file with all of the changes. From the project right-click menu in the Navigation panel:
Step 1 Action Select Project State Combined.
Taking a Project to Combined Mode
Setting the Project Properties
From the project right-click menu in the Navigation panel:

Import/Export Formats
Import/Export format descriptions:

Format Description
MS Word (.doc) Documentation is exported directly into an MS Word document. Each address type is displayed on a separate table. MS Excel (.xls) Documentation is exported directly into an MS Excel Workbook. Each address type is displayed on a separate MS Excel Worksheet. When importing documentation, ProWORX 32 expects these sheets to be in the same order with the same name. Documentation is exported directly into an MS Access database. Each address is in its own table. Note: It is important that you do not move or rename fields within the database if you are going to import your data. The text file (.csv) is a comma-delimited file. This file can be edited using any standard text editor (Notepad, Wordpad, etc.). The comma-delimited line is different depending on the address type: l 0xxxx/1xxxx - Address, Desc1, Desc2,...,Desc9, Short Comment 1,...,Short Comment 4, Symbol, ISA Symbol, Page Title, Long Comment ID l 3xxxx/4xxxx - Address, Desc1, Desc2,...,Desc9, Short Comment 1,...,Short Comment 4, Symbol l 6xxxx/Networks/Segments - Address, Desc1, Desc2,...,Desc9, Short Comment 1,...,Short Comment 4, Page Title, Long Comment ID l Traffic Cop - Address (HxxDxxRxxSxxx), Desc1, Desc2,...,Desc9, Short Comment 1,...,Short Comment 4 Files for exchanging data easily. By default, ProWORX 32 creates this type of file for documentation. Files for exchanging symbols. ProWORX 32 creates standard .DIF files. Most spreadsheet programs can import this format without difficulty. However, you must take special care when transferring data to and from Microsoft Excel in .DIF files.
MS Access (.mdb)
.CSV File
ProWORX ASCII (.fil) ProWORX Symbol (.fis) Spreadsheet Data Interchange Format (.dif)
dBaseIV ProWORX 32 creates standard .DBF files for use with Ashton-Tates data Database (.dbf) management program dBaseIV. Most other data management and spreadsheet programs (including Microsoft Excel) can read this format without difficulty. Traffic Cop (.tef) Concept (.txt) Importing a .TEF file overwrites the existing Traffic Cop data. Exporting creates a .TEF file of the current Traffic Cop data. ProWORX 32 requires both the .TEF and .DEF files to successfully import the documentation. When exporting, ProWORX 32 creates a .TXT file of the current descriptors and symbols for 0x, 1x, 3x, 4x and symbols for constants to be used in Concept.

Modbus Communications by Modem

Overview Controllers in remote locations can be equipped with RS-232 modems. Your computer can then connect to the controller (by telephone, radio, or microwave systems) using its own modem. Once the connection is established, the computer and controller behave as if they were connected directly through a Modbus network. You can easily configure ProWORX 32 to connect to controllers through dial-up and dedicated-line modems. Before you begin, confirm that:
l The controller is properly connected to its RS-232 modem. l Your computer is properly connected to its modem. l The modems DIP switches, if they have them, are set like this:
DIP Switch Settings:
Modem DIP Switch Setting Data Terminal Ready Always On Verbal Word Results Result Code Display Enabled Command mode local echo Auto Answer Carrier Detect Normal Load Non-Volatile RAM Defaults Use AT Command Set (Smart Mode) Example: US Robotics Modem DIP Switches (seen from back) Switch 1 (on left): Down Switch 2: Up Switch 3: Down Switch 4: Up Switch 5: Up Switch 6: Up Switch 7: Up Switch 8 (on right): Down
After configuring ProWORX 32 to use a modem, it checks to see whether there is an active connection each time you select a device on your network.
l If it cannot find one, ProWORX 32 asks you for a phone number to dial or, if your l If it finds a connection (or after opening one), you can choose to select a Modbus

Setting the Modbus Modem Parameters

Step 1 2 Action Select the Modbus tab and set the communications parameters (see Configuring Modbus Communications for parameter descriptions). The controller must have the same Modbus settings as the computer. Set Modbus parameters for your PLC with the Ports tab of the Controller Configuration window. Set the Port parameter to show the computer port connected to the modem; otherwise, ProWORX 32 wont be able to locate it. The Modbus configuration must send exactly 10 bits per data package to your modem. (See Modbus 10-bit Configurations below.) Modems generally expect 10 bits in a data package; however, the Modbus defaults (Even parity, RTU mode, and one stop bit) send 11 bits per package. Change the Modbus settings to provide 10 bits per data package or ProWORX 32 will not be able to communicate with the modem. Alternatively, if your modem supports large data packages, you can set its DIP switches to allow 11 bits per data package (see your modems manual). 5 6 Select the type of modem from the Modem Type parameter drop-down. (See Modem Type Descriptions below.) To edit the modem parameters, click Modem Setup. The Modem Configuration dialog appears. (For parameter descriptions, see below.)

Parameter Phone Number Initialization Description The phone number of the modem that the PLC is attached to. Some modems require special initialization commands such as ATZ before they can be used. Type a sequence of Hayes modem commands in this field for ProWORX 32 to send to your modem. Check your modems manual for the commands to turn off error correction, compression, and software flow control and turn on verbal word results. Type ATDT for tone dialing (default) or ATD for pulse dialing. This prefix is sent to the modem along with the phone number you type in the Select Device dialog. To instruct the modem to pause for half a second, type a comma (,). Characters appended to every command you send to the modem, including the Initialization string and Hangup command. The default is a carriage return and a line feed. To hang up your modem, ProWORX 32 sends the standard Hayes modem command ATH. If your modem uses a different command, enter it here. This command is prefixed with ,,,+++,,,. Hanging up can take up to three seconds.

Simple ASCII Ports
Some Modicon controllers have RS-232 ports as part of Remote I/O drops. Advanced programmers can use these ports (called simple ASCII or ASCII/DAP ports), for serial communications between controllers and data terminal equipment. In ladder logic, use the Block Move (BLKM) instruction to send and receive Simple ASCII messages. Configure the number of ASCII ports for a controller by setting the ASCII Ports parameter in the General tab. The 984A, 984B, and Micro 311, 411, 512, 612 controllers have simple ASCII ports having fewer properties than Modbus ports:
Parameters Parity Description Adds a check bit to a packet to make the number of binary ones always either odd (Odd Parity) or even (Even Parity). If parity is set to None, the check bit is not added. The PC and controller must use the same parity setting. Default is even. Sets the number of bits at the end of a packet which prepare the receiving device for the next packet. The PC and controller must use the same number of stop bits. Default is 1.

This table allows the user to set each port to be compatible with the device to which it is being connected. There are five properties that can be set:
Property Parity Baud Rate Description Select EVEN, ODD, or NONE. The communication speed is set to one of the following baud rates: 50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, and 19200. Select the number of stop bits for each data byte (1 or 2). A system with NO PARITY generally uses 2 stop bits, while a system with PARITY uses 1 stop bit. Select the number of data bits issued from the ASCII port (a number from 5 to 8). The choice of 7 data bits is standard for most ASCII devices. Select the attached device is defined as a keyboard or non-keyboard device. The purpose of this function is to allow you to modify the response of the ASCII port to match the type of device to which it is connected. In the keyboard mode, the port echoes back the input character and requires delimiters to move to the next data field and to terminate the message. Editing of input data is possible from a terminal. In the non-keyboard mode, no data is echoed back and, as a data field is completed, the next available data field is entered or the message automatically terminates. No editing capabilities are supported.

Micro Ports
If you are using a Micro 311, 411, 512, or 612 controller, assign its ports using the Micro port drop-down menu. The assignments in the list are combinations of the controllers COM1, COM2, and I/O Expansion Link port. The assignments availabledepend on which Micro I/O Mode you set in the Controller Details section of the General tab in the Controller Configuration editor.

Loadables Tab
Overview User loadables are instructions that do not come with a controller. Instead, they are supplied by Modicon or third-party vendors and must be copied into a controller or project to be used. Loadables are extensions to a controllers capabilities. When they appear as logic function blocks (most of the time) they are represented as three node instructions. The Loadables tab displays the loadables selected and available to be selected for the current project. The display shows a table of loadables and related information. A check mark is shown beside loadables that are present in the project. Loadables with no check mark are present in the loadable library, but are not currently available in the project. To add or delete a loadable from a project, select or de-select the associated checkbox. Note: You can only add loadables that are already part of a loadable library. Using a loadable is a two-step process: transferring it into a loadable library (see the Loadable Library Wizard, p. 86), then selecting it from the library into the controller or project by checking the loadables checkbox in the loadables tab and saving changes.
Loadable Parameter
Loadables parameter listing:

Parameter Name Opcode Version Type Description User loadable name. A unique two-digit hexadecimal number used to identify an instruction in the programmable controller logic. The version number of the installed loadable. Either MSL or USL.

Updating Loadables Overview
Here are two possible scenarios that would require you to update a loadable:
l Periodically, new versions of loadables are made available. If you try to delete an
old loadable from the configuration, the configurator alerts you to the fact that it is already used in logic and prevents the loadables deletion. As adding or readding a loadable can be an extensive task, update loadable conveniently allows you to replace a loadable without first deleting it from logic. l You may have read a controllers data into a project where the controller data contained an .MSL loadable (i.e. an .EXE file from Schneider Electric or a third party vendor). If the controller had been run prior to performing the read, the MSL loadable in the project is unusable if written back to the controller. Use update loadable to get the MSL loadable back to a state where it can be written to the controller. Update loadable asks you for the original .EXE loadable. It places it into the project and the project may then be rewritten successfully to the controller.
Updating Loadables
To update a loadable in a project:

Step 1 Action Select Update from the right-click menu on the row of the loadable that you want to update.
Copying a Loadable to a Controller
To copy a loadable to a controller or project:

Step 1 2 3 Action Select the loadables checkbox. The Select Opcode dialog appears if no Opcode has been set for the loadable. Select an available Opcode from the list and click OK. If you are offline, selected (checked) loadables are included in the project. Any new loadables you check off will be added to the project when the configuration changes are saved. To use the loadables in a controller, write to the controller. See Writing to a Controller, p. 92 for more information. If you are in online mode, changes are not made to the current project. If you add loadables and close the configurator while online, the Configurator makes the changes directly to the controller. (Note: The controller must be stopped.) If you are in online combined mode any changes that you save are saved to the current project and then written to the controller. (Note: The controller must be stopped.)

Loadable Library Wizard

Overview Before you can place a user loadable into a controller or project, it must be read into the loadable library. A loadable library holds a set of loadables for you so that you only have to translate them to ProWORX 32 format once. In the Loadable Library, you can read a loadable from disk, translate it to ProWORX 32 format, and move it into a library. You can read loadables from an existing project, a Schneider Electric (.exe or .dat) or third party disk (.exe or .dat) or a ProWORX .TLD library file. Note: Reading a user loadable into a loadable library does not copy it into your controller or project. Using a loadable is a two-step process: reading it into a loadable library, then from the library into the controller or project (see Loadables Tab, p. 83 for more information).
Note: You are unable to open the loadable library wizard while the controller configuration editor is open.
Using the Loadable Library
From the Navigation Panel, Utilities tab:

Step 1 2 Action Select Loadable Library to open the Loadable Library Wizard. Select one of the following options: Edit Opcode - See Editing Opcodes below. View Text - Displays the manufacturers notes for a loadable (if available). Rebuild Library - On rare occasions, a library of loadables can become damaged (for example, when a computer crashes and files are corrupted). ProWORX 32 allows you to recreate a library from its .USL and .MSL files. l Transfer Loadable into Loadable Library - Transfer loadables from a project, an old ProWORX.tld file, Schneider Electric (.dat), or from within an .exe into the loadables library. Also use this option to update the version of existing loadables in the loadable library.
l l l
When you have completed using the loadable library wizard, click Finish.
86
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
Editing Opcodes
An opcode is a unique number identifying a loadable in the controller or project. Because each opcode must be different, they may need changing. When a loadable is added to a project or controller, the configurator will compare the new loadables opcode with the opcodes already used in the controller by built-in instructions and previously loaded loadables. If it sees that the new loadable opcode will conflict, the Select Opcode window appears. However, if you happen to know an opcode that wont conflict with the loadables already in your controller you can use the Edit Opcode option in the wizard to make the change. Then when you add the loadable in configuration, you wont be prompted to provide a new opcode.

Data Protect Extension

Overview Data Protect is used to protect specific 0xxxx and 4xxxx references from being modified by Process Monitoring and Control software. Write access is allowed for all 0xxxx and 4xxxx references within the specified block. References outside the ranges specified are protected from general Modbus data write commands. By default, all 0xxxx and 4xxxx references are unprotected. Note: If the Data Protection extension does not appear in the Active Extensions panel, it is not a valid extension for the current controller type.
Editing the Data Protect Extension
In the Active Extensions panel select the Data Protect extension, then:
Step 1 2 Action Enter an address in the 0xxxx Starting Address field. Default - 0:0001. Enter the number of references that are to be left unprotected in the 0xxxx Length field. ProWORX 32 shows the protected reference ranges in the 0xxxx Protected Ranges boxes. Suppose you type a Start value of 00017, and a Length of 1024. The first protected range will be from 00001 (the first possible value) to 00016 (the last value before the Start value you entered). There will then be an unprotected range from 00017 to 01040 (00017 + 1024). All references above 01041 are also protected. If you enter a length that is too high (goes beyond the addresses configured for the controller) ProWORX 32 automatically sets the value to include all addresses above the Starting Address fields. Enter an address in the 4xxxx Starting Address field. Default - 4:0001. Enter the number of references that are to be left unprotected in the 4xxxx Length field. ProWORX 32 shows the protected reference ranges in the 0xxxx Protected Ranges boxes.

Quantum Hot Standby

Overview The Quantum Hot Standby extension allows additional configuration of the Quantum Hot Standby setup. This lets you set the type of state RAM transfer between the CHS110-00 modules. It also lets you set the Initial Command Register and the NonTransfer Area.This area is only available on version 2.x Quantum controllers that contain the CHS loadable in the configuration. Note: If the Quantum Hot Standby extension does not appear in the Active Extensions panel, it is not a valid extension for the current controller type.
Editing the Quantum Hot Standby Extension
In the Active Extensions panel select the Quantum Hot Standby extension, then:
Step 1 Action In the General tab, enter the 4xxxx address of the command register used to configure the hot standby system in the Command Register field. This register must be transferred every scan and cannot be in the non-transfer area. The initial command register contains the settings that are loaded into the controller when it is started. If any changes need to be made while the controller is running, the command register must be used, and not the initial command register. Settings such as port address swapping, allowing an executive upgrade, setting the standbys mode on a logic mismatch, setting the controllers modes and overriding the key switch can be changed from the command register. Enter the starting address of the range of registers that are not to be transferred from the primary controller to the standby in the Non-Transfer Area Start Address field. This is commonly used to reduce scan time. l The first two registers are used in reverse transfer operations. These registers allow information to be passed from the standby to the primary controller. l The third register is the Status register, which stores the status of both controllers. This register provides information on how the hot standby system is operating, such as the power flow of the CHS instruction, position of the controllers A/B switch, and whether there is a logic mismatch between controllers. l All registers following the third register are ignored (not transferred) during the scan. Enter the length of the non-transfer register range in the Non-Transfer Area Length field. This value can be from 1 through the total number of registers configured in the controller.

Action Click the Show Command/Status Registers to view the command and status register contents in the Data Watch Window. Select one of the following State RAM Transferred options: Default (12K): All 0xxxx and 1xxxx registers (up to 8192 each) are transferred. l If 10000 or fewer 3xxxx and 4xxxx (combined) registers are configured, then all are transferred. l If more than 10000 3xxxx and 4xxxx (combined) registers are configured, then (up to) 1000 3xxxx registers and all 4xxxx (up to a combined total of 10000) are transferred. l Routine Only: All addresses defined in the routine transfer table are transferred every scan. There must be a minimum of 16 4xxxx registers to support the non-transfer area. The Routine Transfer Table is a range of discretes and registers that must be configured as a multiple of 16. l Routine and Extra: All addresses defined in the Routine Transfer Table and in the extra tables are transferred. The range of each extra table must be a multiple of 16. The extra tables can be transferred over multiple scans. l All State RAM: All RAM configured in the controller is transferred every scan.
Select an address in the table and enter a reference length. For Routine Transfer Table address lengths, this must be a value between 16 and the maximum configured size for that address. l For Extra Transfer Table address lengths, this must be a value between 16 and the maximum configured size for that address exclusive of the range set in the corresponding Routine table. l Values must be a multiple of 16. The ranges defined are updated and displayed to the right on the tables as the values change.

IO Scanner
Overview The I/O Scanner extension provides data transfer between two or more controllers on a TCP/IP network. The I/O Scanner lets you to simultaneously configure up to 128 communication transactions, depending on your controller. Because the TCP/ IP connection is established only once and remains connected during an entire session, it makes this type of communication very efficient. Note: If the IO Scanner extension does not appear in the Active Extensions panel, it is not a valid extension for the current controller type.

ProWORX 32 includes a configuration wizard to step you through data transaction setup between a local device and a number of remote devices on a TCP/IP network. In the Active Extensions panel select the IO Scanner extension, then:
Step 1 Action Select a card to edit from the Card Number drop-down list box. There may be one, two or six cards available to edit depending on the PLC type. Each card has an independent set of data values. Enter an IP address in the IP Address field in the format (1-255).(1-255).(1255).(1-255) This address should match the TCP/IP extension for the selected card. Enter a 1xxxx or 3xxxx address that will receive health information in the Health Block (1x/3x) field. Enter the number (1-16) of the slot in the backplane the selected card inhabits in the Head Number field. This value should match the value in the TCP/IP extension for the selected card. The transaction list displays up to 128 (64 for M1E PLCs) transactions. A transaction that isnt configured is denoted by a red X, a partially configured transaction is denoted by a yellow exclamation mark, and a configured transaction is denoted by a green check mark. To configure a transaction, right-click anywhere in the transaction list and select Add Transaction. Transactions are configured in order so if you have three transactions and select Add Transaction, the fourth transaction can be configured. To clear the configuration of the last transaction in the list, right-click anywhere in the transaction list and select Delete Transaction or press the DELETE key. Enter the IP address of the remote device that you are communicating with in the IP Address field.

Step 8
Action Enter the value of the destination Unit ID in the Unit ID field. This is an identifier for a pair of transactions (specifically Link Client/Server transactions). The transaction pair must have matching Unit IDs. An example situation would include a single Server Write that sends data to the matching Client Reads in a remote device. All Client Read transactions accept the data sent from the single Server Write transaction as long as the Unit IDs match. Enter a millisecond value representing the length of time to wait for a reply for each transaction in the Health Timeout (0-50k) field. Enter a millisecond value representing the length of time to wait before repeating the transaction in the Repetition Rate (0-50k) field. A value of 0 indicates the quickest possible rate. Select one of the following functions from the Function drop-down list: l Read - A unilateral read in which a local device reads data from a remote device. l Write - A unilateral write in which a local device writes data to a remote device. l Read/Write - A unilateral read/write in which a local device reads data from and writes data to a remote device. l Link Client Read - A paired function type in which a local device responds to a write transaction from a remote device which must have a matching server write. l Link Client Write - A paired function type in which a local device writes to a remote device which must have a matching server read. l Link Client Read/Write - A paired function type in which a local device reads and writes data to and from a remote device which must have a matching server read and write. l Link Server Read - A paired function type in which a local device initiates a read from a remote device. The remote device must have a matching client write. l Link Server Write - A paired function type in which a local device writes to a remote device. The remote device must have a matching client read. l Link Server Read/Write - A paired function type in which a local device reads and writes data to and from a remote device which must have a matching client read/write. Note: For unilateral function types, no intervention is required for the remote devices. They respond to any Read or Write without the need to set up an I/O Scanner transaction. Linked function types require two complementary transactions, on in each device.

IO Scanner Wizard
Overview To launch the IO Scanner wizard, click the IO Scanner Wizard button situated directly below the Active Extensions panel. The wizard operates independently of the Offline/Online mode. All changes are made to Offline projects with an option to modify Online devices as well. TCP/IP communications are required only when modifying online devices. Using the IO Scanner Wizard Read the introduction instructions on the first screen and click Next:
Step 1 Action Set the transaction type by selecting either the Direct radio button or Link Client/Server radio button. Click Next. l Direct - Creates a single transaction in the local device. Data is transferred regardless of the programming of the remote device. This option is simpler than Link Client/Server but could pose more risk as the target device needs no additional program to verify its operation. l Link Client/Server - Creates a pair of matching transactions, one in each device. The server makes a request from a client which then responds to that request. This is a safer option than Direct transactions but is more complex to set up and maintain. Set the local device address by entering an IP address in the Local Device IP Address box in the standard IP format (1-255).(1-255).(1-255).(1-255) If you are using a Quantum PLC, select the slot that the NOE (or similar ethernet adapter) card resides in from the Head Number drop-down list. Click Next. To properly use the IO Scanner extension, you must define target PLCs to communicate with. These target PLCs are called Remote Devices. To add a remote device, click Add. To remove a remote device, click Remove. At least one remote device must be defined before proceeding. l Select a project to add its associated remote device to the list by clicking the Browse button and selecting a project to the Remote Device/Database box. Enter the IP address of the PLC for the remote devices project in the Select an IP Address box. If you are using a Quantum PLC, select the slot that the NOE (or similar ethernet adapter) card resides in from the What slot in the remote rack is this device mounted in? drop-down list. Click Next to return to the remote device summary screen. l Repeat the above step until all desired remote devices have been added. When you have finished adding remote devices to the IO Scanner extension, click Next.
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
111
Step 4
Action To transfer data from one device to another a transaction is required. Existing transactions cannot be modified using the IO Scanner wizard and are greyed out. Up to 128 transactions may be created, except if you are using the M1E PLCs, then only support 64 transactions can be supported. To add a new transaction, click Add. To edit a transaction created by the IO Scanner wizard, click Edit. To remove a transaction created by the IO Scanner wizard, click Remove. l After clicking Add to add a new transaction, you are prompted to select a remote device. To do this, click on a remote device from the list, and press Next. l Now you can configure the new transaction. First, select a function from the drop down list. Second, enter 4xxxx addresses into the From and To fields and numeric values in the Number of Registers field in the Read from Remote Device and Write to Remote Device areas. l When you have finished editing the transaction, click Next (To see descriptions of the functions and fields, see Editing the IO scanner extension.) The transaction summary screen displays a summary of all new transactions to be written to the local device as well as the variously selected remote devices. Ensure the transactions are correct and click Next Caution: Clicking Next will proceed with the modifications and cannot be undone once completed. Note: Only offline databases are modified in this step. Click the Update Online Devices button to update the physical devices defined as remote devices by the wizard. This does not update the local device. That must be done once the configuration extension editor is closed and all changes are saved. Caution: Online devices may be running! They must be stopped before their contents can be modified. Before stopping any device, ensure that it is safe to do so. Devices are restarted once the operation is complete. Also, when these changes are complete, they cannot be undone. Click Next. Click the View Log File button to view a log of all changes made to the local and remote devices. This file (ScannerWizard.log) may be saved and printed as needed. Click Finish to close the wizard and return to the Configuration Extension Editor.

Peer Cop
Overview The Peer Cop extension provides data transfer between two or more controllers on a peer-to-peer network, as well as linking multiple networks using the S985 communication card. Peer Cop configures data blocks to be continuously transferred (once per scan) between nodes on a Modbus Plus network. Data can be broadcast to all nodes on a single link (Global I/O) or between specific Modbus Plus nodes on a link (Specific I/O). A maximum of 32 data registers or 512 (for example, 32*16) I/O points can be transferred to or read from a controller at a time. Peer Cop is supported by the A145 and all E-Series and Quantum controllers. Up to three Links of the Peer Cop can be configured and edited. Note: If the Peer Cop extension does not appear in the Active Extensions panel, it is not a valid extension for the current controller type.
Peer Cop Wizard
ProWORX 32 includes a configuration wizard to help you set your Peer Cop extensions. To access the Peer Cop wizard, see Peer Cop Wizard, p. 118.
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
113
Editing the Peer Cop Extension
In the Active Extensions panel select the Peer Cop extension, then:
Step 1 Action The Peer Cop extension can be configured for up to three links. When you add a link you will have access to the 64 possible devices on another peer-to-peer network. l Link 1 is the internal link; all devices on the local Modbus Plus network can be accessed from Link 1. l Links 2 and 3 are remote links through S985 cards. To add a link, click Add Link. To clear the configuration of a link, click Clear Link. To delete a link, click Delete Link. To configure a link, set its Head Number, Time-out value, and Last Value parameters. For link 2 or 3, select a head number (1 through 16) from the Link x Head Number drop-down list box. Head Number specifies the head number on a Quantum rack. If you are using a Quantum Controller, you have the option of editing the head number for the second or third link. The first link is internal, therefore it cannot be edited. Select a value from the Timeout (ms) drop-down list box. Time-out specifies the health time-out interval. The default value is 500ms. This value specifies the minimum time period a Peer Cop configured communication must fail before the associated health bit is cleared. Valid time-out values range from 20ms to 2 seconds. If you type a value too big, the value truncates to a multiple of 20. For example, 230 truncates to 220 (it is not rounded up to 240). Select Clear or Hold from the Last Value drop-down list box. Last Value specifies whether or not to hold the last value. When set to Hold, the input data area associated with an unhealthy transfer is left in its previous state (i.e. the last value with a health of OK).
Global Input/ Output
Global I/O is one of two communication methods used by the Peer Cop extension (the other is Specific I/O). Global I/O is a broadcast communication method, where a message is broadcast (made available) to all controllers on the Modbus Plus network. Global I/O data transfers do not require an acknowledgment from the receiving controller, so there is no immediate overhead placed on the receiving controller. Note: You can view the register data of any global input/output or specific input/ output by clicking View Data. The data watch window will open displaying the relevant data.
114
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
Editing Global Inputs
Global Input is used to receive global data from any device on a Modbus Plus network. One entry (line) is available for each device (1 through 64). Each devices global data can also be received in pieces determined by Subfields.
Step 1 2 3 4 5 Action Select the Global Input icon in the Links panel. Select a global input from the Global Input list by double-clicking on an input. The global input properties grid appears. Enter the starting point (1 through 32) of the broadcast data to read in the Index field. In the Start field, enter the destination for the received data (i.e., where the received data is to be stored). Enter the number of words (1 to 32) to read forwards from the Index value in the Length field. For example, suppose the source controller is broadcasting 10 words of data using the Global Output function, but the receiving controller only uses words 3 to 7. You would type an Index value of 3 and a Length of 5. Note: The length value plus the index value must be less than or equal to 33. Select either BIN (default) or BCD from the Type drop-down field.
Editing Global Input Subfields
Each devices global data can also be received in sections determined by Subfields. You can define a subfield for each block of the broadcast data that you want the controller, to receive while ignoring the remainder.
Step 1 2 3 Action To view the subfields of a global input, click View Subfields. Select a subfield from the Global Inputs Subfields list. Subfields have the same parameters as inputs. When you are finished editing the subfields parameters, click Return to go back to the list of global inputs.
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
115
Editing the Global Output
Global Output broadcasts the specified range of discretes or registers to the devices on the Modbus Plus network. Each device used to access the data must also be configured to accept Global Input from the broadcasting device (1-32).
Step 1 2 3 4 Action Select the Global Output icon in the Links panel. n the Start field, enter the destination for the received data (i.e., where the received data is to be stored). Enter the length (1-32) of the address range (i.e., the number of registers to broadcast). in the Length field. Select either BIN (default) or BCD from the Type drop-down field.
Specific Input/ Output
Specific I/O is one of two communication methods used by the Peer Cop extension (the other is Global I/O). Specific I/O uses a one-to-one communication method and requires an acknowledgment from the receiving device, which creates a certain amount of overhead. When using Specific I/O, the destination controller must accept the entire block of data from the source controller. This means that the Index value used in Global I/O is not necessary. Specific I/O allows you to configure multiple defined data blocks for transmission to specific devices on the Modbus Plus network. The device receiving the data must be configured for Specific Input from the broadcast device. The length (in words) of the specific input (configured in the destination controller) must be identical in length to the specific output (configured in the source controller). The input data, however, can be stored in any type of reference desired. That is, five words of 4xxxx data can be stored into five words of 0xxxx memory area. Note: You can view the register data of any global input/output or specific input/ output by clicking View Data. The data watch window will open displaying the relevant data.
116
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
Editing Specific Inputs
Select the Specific Input icon in the Links panel, then:

Step 1 2 3 4 Action Select a specific input from the Specific Input list by double-clicking on an input. The specific input properties grid appears. In the Start field, enter the starting address of the block of data to be placed from the source controller. Enter the number of words (1 to 32) to be received from the source controller in the Length field. Select either BIN (default) or BCD from the Type drop-down field.
Editing Specific Outputs
Select the Specific Output icon in the Links panel, then:

Step 1 2 3 4 Action Select a specific output from the Specific Output list by double-clicking on an output. The specific output properties grid appears. In the Start field, enter the starting address for the block of data to be sent to the destination controller. Enter the number of words (1 to 32) to be sent to the destination controller in the Length field. Select either BIN (default) or BCD from the Type drop-down field.

Quantum VME Bus Extension

Overview The VME Bus extension lets a VME-424/X controller control data transfers between devices on a master/slave Quantum network. In a master/slave protocol, one device (the "master") has control over other devices ("slaves"). As the network runs, each element can lose and gain master status, based on negotiations with other members of the network. Note: If the VME Bus extension does not appear in the Active Extensions panel, it is not a valid extension for the current controller type.
Editing the VME Bus Extension
In the Active Extensions panel select the VME Bus extension, then:
Step 1 Action Enter the appropriate value in the Slave Interrupt Level field. Boards on a VME Bus can send and respond to messages on seven interrupt levels, numbered from 1 to 7. This field determines which interrupt level the board uses when its acting as a slave. Enter a value between 1 and 255 in the Status ID field. When the VME controller receives an interrupt while acting as a slave, this is the value it sends. Select an appropriate value for master arbitration type from the Master Arbitration Type drop-down list. This field determines how the controller will operate. Valid settings are Not System Controller, Primary Mode (PRI) or Round Robin Mode (RRS). Select an appropriate value for master release mode from the Master Release Mode drop-down list. This field determines when a board acting as a master relinquishes its master status. Valid settings are Release on Request (ROR), Release When Done (RWD), Release On Clear (ROC), or Bus Capture and Hold (BCAP). The proper setting depends on how your Quantum network is configured. Select the appropriate value for master VME Bus request level from the Master Bus Request Level drop-down list. This field determines what priority the board has when trying to acquire master status. It can range from BR0 (the lowest) to BR3 (the highest). For each interrupt level from Interrupt 1 to Interrupt 7, select whether it should be Enabled or Disabled. These fields will only have an effect when the VME acts as a master. If an interrupt level is: l Enabled - The controller responds to any messages sent on that interrupt. l Disabled - The controller ignores them.

Diagnostic Trace
Overview The Diagnostic Trace feature is a very powerful search mechanism. It is used to find dependencies of a particular output (0xxxx). A search is performed to find the destination point. Then each network is searched to find dependencies of the output address. Each network is then searched to find dependencies of these dependencies. Use Diagnostic Trace to isolate problems relating to a specific output. For instance, if an output is off when it should be on, the Diagnostic Trace will search through logic to determine which addresses affect its state. From the right-click menu in the logic panel:
Step 1 2 Action Make sure that the address you want to trace is selected and click Search Diagnostic Trace. To move to an addresses cross reference, select the cross reference from the address drop-down box. The logic editor moves to the selected network, row, and column.
Why Use Diagnostic Trace? Using Diagnostic Trace

Sweep (Online Only)

Overview The Sweep function is a powerful diagnostic tool that lets you solve logic for a set number of scans or solve logic continuously with a constant time between scans. The Constant Sweep mode sets the controller to scan and solve logic and update I/ O continuously, but with a constant time interval between scans. If the actual scan time is less than the imposed scan time, the controller waits for the imposed scan time to elapse before performing the next scan. If the actual scan time is more than the imposed scan time, the controller finishes the scan, then continues on with the next scan. This lets you slow the scan time to when debugging logic, so that the controller doesnt solve logic too quickly for you to catch errors. From the networks panel (tree), right click menu:
Step 1 2 3 4 Action Select Sweep. In the Sweep Mode area, select the Constant Sweep radio button. Enter the target time (in 10s of milliseconds) for each scan in the Time box. Enter a 4xxxx register to hold the target time value in the Register (4xxxx) box. The actual time taken for each scan is placed in the next register, so a total of two registers are used. Click OK.
Constant Sweep Mode
Performing a Constant Sweep
Single Sweep
Single Sweep mode sets the controller to scan and solve logic, and update I/O for a set number of scans only. When the sweep is finished, the controller stops solving logic and updating I/O, waits until you manually trigger the sweep. WARNING Ensure hardware not part of critical process. The Single Sweep function should not be used to debug controls on machine tools, processes, or material handling systems when they are active. Once the set number of scans is solved, all outputs are frozen in their last state. Since no logic solving is occurring, all input information is ignored. This can result in unsafe, hazardous, and destructive operation of the machine or process connected to the controller. Failure to follow this precaution can result in severe injury or equipment damage.

Step 1 2 3 Action Select Sweep. In the Sweep Mode area, select the Single Sweep radio button. Enter the target time (in 10s of milliseconds) for each scan in the Time box. Note: If the actual scan takes less time than the target scan time, the controller waits for the target scan time to elapse before performing the next scan. If the actual scan takes more time than the target scan time, the controller finishes the scan, then continues on with the next scan. This lets you force the scan time to a higher rate when debugging logic that the controller may solve too quickly to otherwise catch. Enter the number of scans (1-15) to be performed during the sweep the Scans box. Click OK. When you are ready to perform the sweep, select Sweep from the networks panel (tree) right click menu.

Equation Networks
Overview An Equation Network provides an easy way to program complex math functions, with values stored in register locations. Equations in an Equation Network are presented in a regular, left-to-right format, technically known as "infix" notation. You program Equation Networks and set its enable contact and output coil(s) in the Equation Network Editor. Equation Networks were introduced in Quantum Rev. 2 controllers; not all controllers support Equation Networks. The easiest way to see if your controller supports Equation Networks is by trying to create a new oneif your controller doesnt support it, the Equation Network option on the right-click Insert menu wont be available. Creating an Equation Network In the Network Navigation panel:
Step 1 2 Action Select the network where you want to insert the equation network. From the right click menu in the logic editor select Insert Equation Network. An equation network occupies a whole network, regardless of the contents of the equation network.

Coil Descriptions
Coil descriptions:
Coil Solved OK < Coil = Coil > Coil Error Coil Description Solved OK is set when the equation is being solved without errors. Result<0 is set when the equation result is less than zero. Result=0 is set when the equation result is equal to zero. Result>0 is set when the equation result is greater than zero. Error is set when errors have occurred while solving the equation. While online, if the Error coil receives power, an error message will appear under the coil describing the error.
Note: If you dont want to use a particular output coil, leave the address for that coil blank (or erase one already typed in). That coil will not be included in the Equation Network.
Setting up an Enable Contact
An Equation Networks enable contact, when set, activates the Equation Network. If an enable contact passes current, the Equation Network will be solved. You change settings for the enable contact in the Enable Editor display. To select a type for the enable contact, select the symbol of the enable contact that corresponds with your chosen type. An enable contact can be a normally-open contact, normally-closed contact, horizontal short, or a horizontal open. To select a register address for the enable contact, in the Enable Contact address field, type the direct address (in X:Y numeric format) or symbolic address for the enable contact coil. This field is only available if the enable contact type is a normally-open or normally closed contact.

Mathematical Equations in Equation Networks

Equation Format ProWORX 32 expects equation elements to appear in a specific format. Operations and functions each have their own format. Also, for each value, you must specify what kind of value it is (register address, constant or symbol) and its data type (signed integer, unsigned integer, etc.). Each value can refer to a constant, register address or symbol. The Equation Network Editor determines which data type the value is, based on the following format.
Format Default (no # sign or single quotes Prefixed by # Enclosed in single quotes Meaning Register address Constant Symbol Example 40001 #123 HEIGHT
Equation Values and Data Types
The actual data type of a value is determined by its suffix, as shown in the following table:
Suffix None U L UL F Meaning 16-bit Integer 16-bit unsigned Integer Long (32-bit) signed Integer Long (32-bit) unsigned Integer 32-bit floating point (real) Example #38 40001U #-123L HEIGHTUL #+1.45E-4F
Typically, youd first indicate the register address where the calculated result is to be stored, followed by an equal sign (the "assignment operator"), followed by the calculation itself. For example: 40001 = 40002U + COS(40003UL) * #+1.35E-4F / HEIGHTL
l 40002U is an address of a 16-bit unsigned integer. l COS(40003UL) calculates the cosine of a long (32-bit) unsigned integer value l #+1.35E-4F is the floating point value of 0.000145, given in exponential notation. l HEIGHTL is a symbol of the name HEIGHT, representing the address of a long l 40001 = indicates that the result of the calculation is to be stored in register
address 40001 as a 16-bit signed integer. (32-bit) signed integer. stored at address 40003.

Everything to the right of the assignment operator also constitutes an expression. An expression is any part of an equation that can be evaluated to a single value. This can be a single constant or register address, or a complete mathematical operation. For example, #35 is an expression, as are LOG(#10) and 40002U + COS(40003UL). Complex expressions can contain other expressions within them, as in #3 * (40002U + COS(40003UL)). For the most part, any operator or function can be performed on any expression, no matter how complex. Note: It is good programming practice to enclose all expressions in parentheses, even when theyre not actually needed. This makes the equation easier to read and ensures that operations in an equation are solved in the correct order.
Exponential Notation
Floating point numbers are normally specified in exponential notation, as in: +1.34E-4 This represents 1.35 times 10 to the -4th power, or 1.35 times 0.0001. Thus, we would shift the decimal place four places to the left to get 0.000135. The "-4" part is called the exponent (note the preceding "E") and can be a positive or negative number. In the Equation Network Editor, you must also indicate:
l That these numbers are constants; and l Their data types. For example, integers or floating point numbers.
The default data type is unsigned 16-bit integer. So, since the above value is a fraction (and therefore must be a floating point number), it would have to appear as #+1.35E-4F. With no data type suffix, numbers in exponential notation are assumed to be integers. For example, #+1.35E+2 represents the unsigned 16-bit integer value 135. Exponential notation is particularly useful for very large integers.

Mathematical Operations in Equation Networks

Mathematical Operations The following table lists the mathematical operations you can include in your equation:
Type Operator Result Assignment
= Assignment operator The assignment operator = is used to assign a storage place for the results of the equation. All equations will use the assignment operator. The format is: ADDRESS = EXPRESSION Where ADDRESS is a valid register address and EXPRESSION is a valid value or expression assigned to the address. Unary Operators "Unary" means "single", so unary operators are used on only one value. ~ The unary operator is placed just before the value or expression to which it is applied. For example, (30002) returns -1 times the number stored at address 30002. Exponentiation operator Takes values to a specified power. 40001**3 returns the (integer) value stored at 40001, taken to the third power. Arithmetic operators These require two values, one before and one after the operator. These values can be any valid expression. For example, #4 * 40003 results in four multiplied by the value stored at address 40003. **
Negation. The result is -1 times the value. Ones complement. This works on the binary representation of a value: all 1s are changed to 0s and vice versa.
Exponentiation
* / + -
Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

Type Bitwise operators Bitwise operators work on binary (base 2) representations of values.
Operator &
Result AND. The single bit result of an AND operation is only true (1) if both bits are set to 1. OR. The single bit result of an OR operation is true (1) if either bit is set to 1. The result is false (0) only if both bits are set to 0. XOR. Short for "Exclusive OR". The single bit result of an XOR operation is false (0) if both bits are the same, true (1) otherwise. Left Shift. The result of 40001<<#2 is the binary representation of the number stored at 40001 shifted left two (#2) places. Zeros are added on the right to fill in the gap. Right Shift. The result of 40001>>#2 is the binary representation of the number stored at 40001 shifted right two (#2) places. Zeros are added on the left to fill in the gap. Less than. Less than or equal to. Equal to. Not equal. Greater than or equal to. Greater than. Used in conditional expression.
| In the case of AND, OR and XOR, the computer applies the operator to each digit in the two values: 010 XOR 011 (2 XOR 3 in decimal ^ numbers) results in 001 (1 in decimal). In the case of shifting operators, the computer shifts all digits in the << binary representation of the number the given number of places to the left or right. Digits on one side of the number are lost, and zeros fill in the blanks on the other side. For example, for 8-bit >> numbers, 77 << 2 means 01001101 shifted left two digits. The binary result is 00110100, or 52 decimal. < <= = <> => > ?: ()
Relational operators These operators describe a comparison between two values or expressions. The result is always true (1) or false (0). For example, #35 <= #42 evaluates to 1 (true). Relational operators are used in Conditional expressions. Conditional operators See below for details. Parentheses Used to set precedence in solving equations. To make sure certain operations are solved before others, enclose those operations in parentheses.
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
159
Conditional Expressions
In Equation Networks, conditional expressions take the following form: EXPR1 RELOP (EXPR2) ? (EXPR3) : EXPR4 EXPR1 through EXPR4 can be any address, value or expression. If EXPR2 or EXPR3 are not single values or addresses, they must be enclosed in brackets. RELOP can be any relational operator, such as > (greater than) or <> (not equal to). When solving a conditional expression, the computer first compares EXPR1 and EXPR2, based on the relational operator. If the comparison is true, the value of the conditional expression is the result of EXPR3. If the comparison is false, the value of the conditional expression is EXPR4. Note: It is especially good programming practice to enclose all expressions within a conditional expression in parentheses, even when theyre not actually needed. This makes the equation easier to read and ensures that operations are solved in the correct order.

Mathematical Functions in Equation Networks

Mathematical Functions The following table lists the pre-defined math functions you can include in your equation. Each of these functions takes one argument enclosed in brackets following the function name. The argument can be any valid value or expression. For example, COS(#35+40001) returns the cosine of 35 plus the number stored at address 40001. In this table, X refers to a functions argument (as in "COS(X)").
Function ABS(S) ARCCOS(X) ARCSIN(X) ARCTAN(X) COS(X) COSD(X) EXP(X) FIX(X) FLOAT(X) LN(X) LOG(X) SIN(X) SIND(X) SQRT(X) TAN(X) TAND(X) Description Absolute value of X (i.e. negative numbers become positive).

PID Tuner
PID and PID2 Blocks Overview PID and PID2 blocks are software programming blocks that allow a process tobe controlled with no changes or additions to hardware. "PID" stands for "Proportional Integral Derivative". While the PID2 is a more advanced version of the PID, both operate in the same manner. PID/PID2 Process Process Input Set Point (SP) PID Calculation Output Value (OP)
Process Variable (PV) Measurement
Process
Process Output The PID calculation compares a process variable (PV) with a desired control point called the set point (SP). The calculation uses the difference between the set point and the process variable to adjust the PID output value (OV), sometimes called the control variable. This output value is used to manipulate an input to the process so that, eventually, the measured process variable equals the desired set point. PID Tuner Overview The PID summary displays a list of all the PID and PID2 instructions in the logic of the current project. Each row in the grid gives the instruction name, its location in logic, and the addresses of key data values related to that PID block. The currently selected row has an associated PID Faceplate. This faceplate allows simple tuning of the selected PID block. You may invoke manual mode or adjust the setpoint value. Note: There may be a delay while a search is performed for PID instructions in logic.

DRUM Summary
DRUM Instruction Overview The DRUM instruction operates on a table of 4x registers containing data representing each step in a sequence. The number of registers associated with this step data table depends on the number of steps required in the sequence. You can pre-allocate registers to store data for each step in the sequence, thereby allowing you to add future sequencer steps without having to modify application logic. DRUM incorporates an output mask that allows you to selectively mask bits in the register data before writing it to coils. This is particularly useful when all physical sequencer outputs are not contiguous on the output module. Masked bits are not altered by the DRUM instruction, and may be used by logic unrelated to the sequencer. Drum Summary Overview The DRUM summary displays a list of all the DRUM, ICMP and SCIF instructions in the logic of the current project. They are sorted by their top address. This address data is known as its Step value. All instructions with the same Step value appear together on the right. All the Step values that are available appear on the list to the left. Each row shows the instruction name, its location in logic, and key data values related to that block. Steps Used, Machine ID. and Profile ID are all editable values. Note: There may be a delay while a search is performed for DRUM instructions in logic.

Working with the ASCII Editor
ASCII Editor
Using the ASCII Editor ASCII messages let your controller report information to you in plain language. Use them, for example, if you want to see a written alert on your screen every time a motor switches on or a printout every hour of how many items have passed by a counter. Use the ASCII Message Editor to enter and edit the messages you want your controller or project to send. Note: Use the ASCII Read Block (READ) and ASCII Write Block (WRIT) in your ladder logic to send a message from a controller to your output device (such as a screen, printer, or disk drive).
Configuring ASCII Messages
Start by configuring your controller or project to use ASCII messages:

Step 1 2 Action Confirm that your controller supports ASCII messages. In the Controller Configuration Window General Tab, configure the controllers ASCII parameters. (Total Messages, Message Words, and ASCII Ports.) For more information see, Controller Configuration - General Tab. Ensure your ASCII ports are configured correctly in the Ports tab of the Controller Configuration Window. For more information, see Controller Configuration Ports Tab.

The controller stops the buffer flushing when it finds a match for the terminating characters. Flush Exclusive Clears the buffer until a match is found for the terminating character pair. It does not flush the match characters. This uses two registers. The first register contains the type identifier and the second contains the hex values of the terminating pair. The hex values range from 0000 to FFFF. The controller searches for this range in the buffer. If the second character of the match pair is not a null (00), then the next character in the buffer must be equal or the search continues. If the last character test is equal or null, the flush is performed up to but not including the matched terminators.

Working with Macros
At a Glance
Overview When writing logic networks, you may find yourself reusing pieces of code again and again, changing addresses only for a few of the variables. In these cases, subroutines might not be suitable-such as when large numbers of variables are involved or when you want to reuse the same piece of code in different projects. What youre looking for is a macro. This chapter contains the following topics:

Working with Macros
Macros
Overview Macros are generic pieces of logic networks you create with parameters instead of actual addresses. Macros are programmed offline in the Logic Editor. When you insert a macro in your main project, you map the parameters to real addresses. You can insert the same macro in several places with different sets of mapped addresses each time. The addresses change but the logic stays the same. The main project retains its link to the inserted macros. This means ProWORX 32 notices if you make changes to a macro and informs you when you view it in the Logic Editor. Creating a Macro Project To create a macro project:
Step 1 Action Create a new ProWORX 32 offline project by selecting File New Project from the ProWORX menu. For more information about creating projects, see Creating a New Project, p. 29. Select the Use as a Macro checkbox and complete the remaining new project wizard steps. Once a macro project has been created it is denoted by the macro project icon,

Working with Macros
Using Macro Parameters
While editing macro projects, you can assign macro parameters in place of register addresses or symbols. These are the addresses that will change for each insertion into the main project. Macro parameters use this format: @txx
l The "t" represents the type of address: 0 for 0xxxx, 1 for 1xxxx, 3 for 3xxxx and 4 l The "xx" represents the parameter number, which can be from 1 to 50.
For example, a macro parameter of @304 would represent the fourth programmable address of the form 3xxxx. Note that @304 and @404 refer to different parameters and are mapped to totally different addresses. You can have a total of 200 parameters in your macro project - 50 for each address type. for 4xxxx.

Using Macros in Logic

Adding Macro Projects to Logic Insert macros into logic while working offline in the Logic Editor. To insert a macro into a ProWORX 32 project:
Step 1 2 3 4 Action Select Insert Macro from the logic editor right-click menu. The Available Macros list appears. Select a macro from the list and click OK. The Macro Parameters dialog appears. For each parameter, enter a Modicon address in the Address column. When all the parameters have been mapped to Modicon addresses, click Insert. ProWORX 32 checks each address to ensure its valid for the macro parameters address type and range. If invalid addresses are found, you are returned to the Macro Parameters dialog box. Otherwise, the macros logic is inserted into your ProWORX 32 project and you are taken to the Macro Overview screen.
Removing Macro Projects from Logic
Deleting a macro from a project doesnt erase the macro file from your hard drive it just removes an inserted macros logic from your main logic. To remove a macro completely from your hard drive, first remove it from the project as described below, then from the macro project right-click menu in the Navigation panel, select Delete. To remove a macro from a ProWORX 32 project:
Step 1 2 Action Select the macro you want to delete and select Delete Macro from the network navigation panel right-click menu. A confirmation dialog appears. Click Yes and the macro is removed from the project.

Logic Editor Macro Display Overview
The Macro Overview display appears in the Logic Editor when you move the cursor onto an inserted macro. It also appears just after inserting a macro into a project. This display gives the macros file name, description (the "Detailed Project Name" as entered from the project properties), status, and a list of its parameters and the Modicon addresses or symbols to which they are mapped. The macro status can be one of two things:
l Macro has changed: The macro has been changed since it was inserted into the
main logic network. You may want to update the inserted macro to reflect the changes made to the macro project it is linked to. l Macro not found: The macro project file either no longer exists or has been moved to a different directory. Making Changes in Macros If you make changes to a macro project after it has been inserted into a main logic network, youll have to update each copy of it within that logic network. There may also be times when you want to make changes in logic to a single macro insertion without changing the original macro project. In this case, youll have to unlink that macro insertion. Unlinking a macro removes its connection to the original macro project; the logic in that macro insertion becomes part of the regular main project logic. Once a macro insertion has been unlinked it cannot be re-linked. Changes made to the macro project will no longer be detected by the Logic Editor. Updating a Macro in a Project In the logic editor:
Step 1 Action Move the cursor onto a macro that needs to be updated. The Macro Overview screen appears, with a status that reads "Macro Has Changed." (If the macro status reads "Rec: xxx", where "xxx" is a series of numbers, then you dont need to update it.) From the network navigation panel right-click menu, select Update Macro. The macros logic is reinserted into the logic network.

Sets the address of a slave device from 1 to 247. Only available when Port Type is Slave. Sets the speed of data transmission in bits per second. The default is 9600. Sets the number of bits at the end of a packet which prepare the receiving device for the next packet. Either 1 or 2. Adds a check bit to a packet to make the number of binary ones always either odd (Odd Parity) or even (Even Parity). If Parity is set to None, the check bit is not added. The PC and controller must use the same parity. Default is None. Selects a communications mode for the port: RTU or ASCII. Default is RTU. Determines the order in which the BM85 checks the ports, with 1 being the highest priority and 4 the lowest. All ports must have different priorities. Sets the maximum time in multiples of 100 milliseconds that the BM85 waits for slave devices to respond to commands before it sends an error message. Determines whether the BM85 maintains a dedicated connection to a slave device until it completes a command or transparently processes other network traffic while it waits. This option is not available unless the port type is set to Network. Note that this option should be set to No for ports attached to 584 controllers operating in SAFE84 Mode.

BootP Server
Overview ProWORX 32 supports the configuration of the IP Address of a Quantum NOE Ethernet adapter, an ENT module or a Momentum controller via an Ethernet network. The BootP server lets you record and configure a devices IP Address and, optionally, the Gateway IP Address and Sub network mask. In the navigation panel, utilities tab:
Step 1 2 3 4 Action Select Boot P to open the BootP Server utility. To enable active pinging of devices in the list, select the Enable Active Device Ping check box. To check if there is a device at the specified IP address, click Ping. If successful, the status field displays Device found at specified IP Address. To exit the BootP Server utility, click Close.
Using the BootP Server
BootP Listening
When a BOOTP client such as a PLC requires an IP address, it broadcasts a request for an address across its Ethernet connection and through the TCP/IP network. It continues broadcasting these requests periodically until a reply is received or a set amount of time has passed. In the case where a PLC has a TCP/IP configuration extension active, the information in the extension may be used to configure an IP address if a BootP response is not received. The BOOTP Server listens for these IP address requests and responds accordingly. The response includes an IP address for the client. When the response is received, the client uses this new IP as its own and may then be accessed normally through the TCP/IP network. In the BootP Server utility:
Step 1 Action Click Start Listening to make the BOOTP Server listen for incoming IP requests. The BOOTP Server now responds to any BOOTP IP address requests coming from Modicon devices. Click Stop Listening and the BOOTP server ignores any incoming requests.

Tip: Use Enable Active Device Ping when performing automatic BootP operations. Once a BootP operation is complete, the success of the operation is updated in the Status column in the list.
Using the Device List
In the BootP Server utility:

Step 1 2 3 Action To add a device to the BootP list, click New Device. To remove a device from the BootP lists, select a device from the list and click Delete Device. To configure a device in the BootP list, select a device from the list and enter the parameters into the available Device Info and Optional Parameters fields.

Device Parameters
BootP device parameter descriptions:

Parameter Device MAC Address Description Displays the description of the associated row selected in the BootP Parameters table. A 12 digit hexadecimal number uniquely identifying an Ethernet device. A devices MAC address cannot be changed. The MAC Address is on a label (currently marked as the "IEEE GLOBAL ADDRESS") on each Schneider Ethernet device. A logical 32-bit address used to identify a TCP/IP device. Each IP address has two parts: the network ID and the host ID. The network IP identifies all hosts (devices) that are on the same physical network. The host ID identifies a specific host on a network. Each computer that runs TCP/IP requires a unique IP address. The IP Address may be available from or assigned by your network administrator. The existing condition of the ping: l Device Found: ProWORX 32 has found a Schneider device with this MAC address and IP address l Device not found: ProWORX 32 could not find a Schneider device with this MAC address and this IP address. Used to mask a portion of the IP address so that TCP/IP can distinguish the network ID from the host ID. TCP/IP hosts communicate by using the subnet mask to determine whether the destination host is located on a local or remote network. The Subnet Mask may be available from or assigned by your network administrator. For communication with a host on another network, an IP host must be configured with a route to the destination network. If a configured route is not found, the host uses the gateway to transmit the traffic to the destination host. The default gateway is where the IP sends packets that are destined for remote networks. If a default gateway is not specified, communications are limited to the local network. The Gateway may be available from or assigned by your network administrator.

Using the Script Editor

Overview Schneider Alliances Script Editor is a WYSIWYG property based editor used to create card configuration scripts. The VB Script file used by ProWORX 32 to display card configuration is automatically created by the card configuration editor. These scripts are used by ProWORX 32 to configure optional card parameters in the Traffic Cop. From the script editor dialog:
Step 1 2 Action Click a control in the ToolBox panel to add it to the grid. Set the properties for the control. Tip: To most effectively set your control, select the controls container in the Container property first. This will move the control onto the desired frame. Place the control by clicking the controls center selection handle, and holding and dragging the control to the desired location. Resize the control by clicking and dragging the controls perimeter selection handles to the desired size.

Common Properties
Common control properties:

Property Left Top Width Height Caption Container Description The left-most part of the control in twips. Note: For reference, there are 1440 twips per inch. The topmost part of the control in twips. The width of the control in twips. The height of the control in twips. The text display related to the control. The container is the object that the control is anchored to. Note: You can anchor a control to either the form (pbEditor) or to any frame. When a control is anchored to a frame, the controls positional variables (Left and Top) are relative to the anchor, not to the form. The first bit in a range of bits to edit. The last bit in a range of bits to edit. The word number you want to edit. Note: To add a control that whose data value has no consequence to a word, set the Word property to 0. The word list is 1-base. This is a portion of script that will execute when the value of the control is changed.
StartBit EndBit Word
Event
Using the Event Editor Dialog
The event of a control is executed when the data value of the control changes. The event script allows you to enter VB script code to manipulate controls. The event script editor will do minor error checking for syntax mistakes. The gird has a unique Initialize function which is executed when the form is opened. Using events you can hide controls using the .visible property, enable and disable controls using .enabled and many other standard VB functions. After clicking the ellipsis box in the Event property of a control:
Step 1 2 Action Enter VB script code into the event window. When finished, click OK to return to the script editor. Certain errors will be caught by the event script editor and there will be an error message if any errors exist. Certain errors will not be detected by the editor though and the I/O cards script will not be functional in the traffic cop. To cancel your changes and return to the script editor, click Cancel.

Editing Card Config Word Data Example
Word ones current value is 10101010 - 10101010 (43690 decimal). A controls properties are set as follows:
l l l l
Word = 1 StartBit = 9 Word = 16 Data value of the control = 15
When the card config dialog is saved, word ones new value is 10101010 - 00001111 (43535 decimal). Notice, bits 9 through 15 (00001111) are equal to 15 which is what the properties had specified.

Using Script Editor Controls

Frame Frames are used to enclose and group related controls. Scripts allow multiple layers of frames to be added on top of each other. After a frame has been added to a grid or previous frame, any of the available controls can be contained by (anchored to) that frame. Radio buttons are used on the grid or on a frame to display a limited set of options. Only one radio button in a container can be selected at a time. Control-specific properties:
Property Data Description The value that the bits are set to if the radio button is selected.
Radio Button
Check Box
Check boxes are used on the grid or on a frame to display either/or options. Control-specific properties:
Property DataChecked DataUnchecked Description The value that the bits are set to if the check box is checked. The value that the bits are set to if the check box is unchecked.
Label
Most often used as a label for a combo box or a data edit box control, labels can be used for on-screen instructions, as well as further detail or descriptions. The combo-box is used when there are a set number of selections you want the user to be able to choose from. Each item in the list has a corresponding data value. Control-specific properties:
Property List Description The list property provides an ellipsis box which when clicked opens up a Combo Box Configuration dialog. The combo box configuration dialog allows you to enter the contents and related values of the items in the list box.
Combo Box

Creating a List for the Combo Box
In the combo box configuration dialog:

Function 1 2 3 4 5 Action To add an item to the list, Click Add. Edit the Combo List Item and Item Data fields by double-clicking on the cell. To move the item within the list, click Move Up and Move Down. To remove an item, click Remove. To save the items and data and return to the script editor, click OK. To cancel changes and return to the script editor, click Cancel.
Data Edit Box
Data edit boxes are used on the grid or on a frame to allow the user to enter any valid value. Valid values are determined by which radix is set for the data edit box. For example, if Binary is selected in the radix property, only ones and zeros are valid data, and the value can only have a length of 16 characters. Control-specific properties:
Property Radix Description The mode of the edit box. Available options are Decimal, Binary, Hexadecimal, ASCII, and Long. Notes: l All radices are have a 16-bit limit except Long, which has a 32-bit limit. l A Long data type will overwrite the word that is selected in the Word property of the data edit box as well as the next word in the order that they are set in the Default Parameter Data property of the I/O card. l It is not recommended that you put a long data value in the last word. If the last word is selected in the Word property, the Long data value will be truncated and put into the last word. This may alter the results you expected significantly.
Command
The command button is a seldom used control but can be very useful for batch processes. For example, you can have a button that will check or uncheck a group of check boxes, or a button that would clear all fields in a group. The time state property control is different from other controls in that it is a toggle edit combo box. It is used to edit parameters of cards that are actually not passed as data words. Namely, when editing the time-out state of a card, you would use a timestate drop-down to set the parameter to "User Defined" or to "Last Value".

Isolating Faults
Isolating Faults Faults can fit into one of four categories:
Fault Input/Output Faults Possible Causes/Fixes This is the most common type of fault. It occurs when an open, short, or an electrical or mechanical malfunction happens. Common locations for these faults are in the field devices and the wiring between the I/O module that interfaces to the field device. These faults include a faulty controller or improper ladder logic. The Controller Manual Check helps isolate a faulty Controller. Communication Faults: Modicon controllers communicate with the I/O sub system through remote I/O processor communication networks or within local drops on the Modbus subsystem. Faults occur when two pieces of hardware unexpectedly stop communicating or communications becomes unintelligible. When the warning Command Not Valid Unless Logged In appears, check the following: l Ensure the cable is properly attached to the controller. l Ensure that the controller youre connected to isnt logged onto by another user. l Ensure youre using the correct cable. l Ensure the cable is connected to the correct controller port. If the problem persists, contact Schneider Electrics Customer Support.

Manual Procedure List

Procedure One Controller failed to power up with good AC supply and fuse OK:
Step 1 2 3 4 Action Ensure that the power supply jumper is correct on the slot mount controllers. Check the input power select switch position is correct for supply voltage. Check for loose crimps or screws at the power supply terminal strip. Check fuses where relevant.
Procedure Two
To replace a 38x/48x fuse:

Step 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Action Remove memory and executing cartridges. Remove 9 screws that hold the side (1/4 inch nut driver). Remove line cord cover screws and the plastic line cord cover. Remove 2 line cord standoffs (3/16 inch nut driver). Remove screws near battery compartment. The front part of the controller can now separate from the circuit board. The fuse is located near the AC power connector. Replace fuse with the same size and type.
Procedure Two
To replace a 68x/78x fuse:

Step 1 2 3 4 5 Action Remove 2 thumbscrews and 2 machine screws with start washers as shown on front view. Remove small cover. Remove 4 machine screws from rear cover and slide rear cover back 3 inches. (Exec pack cover may have to be removed from the right side). Carefully slide the left side section toward the back expose the two fuses. Replace blown fuses with the same type and size.

Troubleshooting
Procedure Two
To replace a P930/P933 fuse:

Step 1 2 3 4 5 Action Turn off the P930/P933 power supply. Turn off the supply power to the power supply. Remove the supply power line from the P930/P933 power terminal. Loosen mounting screws on top and bottom of the front face of the P930/P933 and slide the P930/P933 out of the chassis. Replace fuse with on of the same type and size.
Procedure Three
Failure to attach to a running controller:

Step 1 2 3 4 Action Ensure that the proper cables and software are being used. Are the communication parameters on the computer the same as those on the controller? Check the cable attachment and pinout. If Modbus Plus is being used then ensure the Modbus Plus driver is installed and the Modbus Plus active LED on the SA85 or PC85 card and the controller are flashing at six times a second. (The Modbus Plus Indicator normal operating state.) If this is the first time this cable has been used then test the cable.
Procedure Four
If Modbus Plus is the chosen mode of communication, please ensure that the Modbus Plus driver software is installed. You may use the Modbus Plus diagnostic tools included with the driver suite. Check if the Modbus Plus active LED is flashing both at the interface card (PCI85 or SA85) and at the PLC. Normal indication is six times per second.

Modbus Plus
Modbus Plus Communications for Concept Exec Loader Modbus Plus Indicator When using Modbus Plus communications and the interrupt is NOT "5C", you must add the following line to the "modicon.ini" file located in the Windows folder: Under the heading: [Ports] MBP0 (or MBP1) = interrupt 5D On most Modbus Plus devices, a green LED flashes a repetitive pattern indicating the communication status of the node. The patterns are: l Six flashes per second: Normal operating state. The node is successfully receiving and passing the token. All nodes in operation on the network should be flashing this pattern. l One flash per second: Node is offline after just being powered up or there is another node on the network with the same address (duplicate addresses are not allowed). The node remains in this state for five seconds, then attempts to go to its normal operating state. l Two flashes, then OFF for two seconds: Node is hearing the token being passed among other nodes, but is never receiving the token. Check the network link for an open or short circuit, or defective termination. l Three flashes, then OFF for 1.7 seconds: Node is not hearing any other node. It is periodically claiming the token, but finding no other node to which to pass it to. Check the network link for an open or short circuit, or defective termination. l Four flashes, then OFF for 1.4 seconds: Node has heard a valid message from another node that is using the same address as this node. The node remains offline in this state as long as it continues to hear the duplicate address. If the duplicate address is not heard for five seconds, the node then changes to the pattern of one flash every second.

Stopcode Error Analysis

Stopcode Error Analysis Bit/Error reference:
Bit 0 (0001 Hex) Error Description
Illegal Configuration Someone or something has probably been modifying controller memory and the configuration is not valid for this controller. The error may also be caused by a bad memory board or Executive pack or by inserting the wrong memory or executive into a controller. 984 A/B/X and 584 - Information saved in a coil and register has been Backup Checksum corrupted. In order to recover the corrupted information, the program must be reloaded. A bad Error memory board may also cause this error. 984 -80 Series (984 A/B/X - some PROMS) Discrete Disabled Error Logic Checksum Error Usually caused by trying to start the controller in the optimized mode with discrete points that are disabled. The calculated user logic checksum does not agree with the stored checksum. It can be caused by an illegal change of memory or by a bad memory board. Try reloading the program. This error also occurs if the ASCII area has been loaded incorrectly. If reloading fails then try initializing the ASCII area. As a last resort try replacing the memory board. This error usually occurs when loading the controller. It may be caused by loading or relocating a program from a machine supporting a DX instruction not supported or configured for in the target machine, i.e. relocating a program with an HSBY function block to a 984 not configured for an HSBY. It may also be caused by loading a program made on a 24 bit machine to a 16 bit machine i.e., specifying a constant greater than 999.

Description Cycle the power on the controller to clear the error or Start Controller. Improper programming from a programming device or software package is usually the cause of start-ofnode failure. The Segment Scheduler has been programmed improperly. This error is caused by an attempt to clear the System Stop State word. A programming device has altered memory in a non-authorized manner. The 984 has not been configured successfully. This bit can be set in conjunction with other flags. This error indication pertains to the 984B or extended memory 584 only. Try reloading memory. If that fails to solve the problem, replace the memory board. Usually caused by configuring for more than one drop and not having an S908 remote I/O processor in the controller rack. This error can also be caused by too many points contained in the Traffic Cop (512 inputs and 512 outputs allowed per drop), or by more cards in Traffic Cop than physically present (Micro 984). This simply indicates the PLC has stopped.

Module Health
S908 Controller Module Health Status information consists of up to 160 words. A single bit is used to represent the Health Status of a single module. A binary 1 means that the module is healthy. Each drop in the I/O sub system has five words allocated to contain I/O module status. Each of these five words contains the I/O module status of a single rack within the drop. The most significant bit (MSB) represents the status of the module in slot 1. Slot 2 module status is represented by the bit to the immediate right of the MSB. A healthy I/O module must meet the following conditions: l The specified slot must be configured in the Traffic Cop. l The slot must contain the module specified in the Traffic Cop. l Valid communication must exist between the module and the interface. l Valid communication must exist between the interface module and the controller.

Note: If a module is configured in the Traffic Cop and active, then the bit will be 1.
WARNING Upgrade Recommended On systems using J890/J892s with PROM rev 1000, slot 1 will be the LSB. J890/J892s with PROM revs greater than 1000 will appear as previously described. The earlier J890/J892s should be upgraded as they will be incompatible with any user programming that assumes slot 1 status to be the MSB. Failure to follow this precaution can result in severe injury or equipment damage.

S901 Controller
The I/O Module Health Status information consists of words that represent the module health for channel pairs. Each word represents 2 channels. The words are also divided into input modules and output modules. A single bit is used to represent the Health Status of a single module. If the slot is inhibited in the Traffic Cop then the bit will be a 0. If the slot contains an input module then the bit will be a 1. This will not be the case if the Communication Status Word 2/2 (183) indicates an error. If the slot contains an output module and if the active light is on then this bit will be a 1. If the active light is off then this bit will be a 0. It is common to set the status indicator for an output slot to toggle between 0 and 1 when active and healthy. The Upper byte contains the status of the lower channel number of the channel pair (for example, channel 1 for channel pair 1/2). The lower byte contains the status of the higher channel number of the channel pair. Each byte represents the status of slots 1 to 8 of the channel. The Most Significant Bit of the channel represents slot 1 and the Least Significant Bit shows the status of slot 8. Status Word #012: Drop # 01/01 Rack # 1/5

Editing .DIF Files with Microsoft Excel
Editing .DIF files with Microsoft Excel

Overview When Excel imports a .DIF file, it converts the controller addresses in the first column of the database into numerical values which ProWORX 32 cannot read. Excel also exchanges the rows and columns of the database in the .DIF files header. Unless you correct these problems, an error appears when you try to import a .DIF file back into ProWORX 32 after you have changed it in Microsoft Excel. To use Excel to edit documentation, follow these seven steps: Step One Set the size of your descriptor fields for Microsoft Excel.
Step 1 2 3 4 5 Action Select the ProWORX 32 project whose documentation you want to edit. From the project right-click menu in the navigation tree, select Properties. In the properties dialog, select the Documentation tab. Set Number of Descriptor Lines to 9. Click OK to save changes and return to ProWORX 32.
Step Two
Export your ProWORX 32 project as a .dif file.

Step 1 2 3 Action From the project right-click menu in the navigation tree, select Export Documentation. Select a path and enter a file name in the Select Destination File dialog. Click OK to export documentation.

Step Three
Open and edit the documentation in Microsoft Excel.

Step 1 Action Open the .DIF file in Microsoft Excel. The number in Column A tells you what controller address the row describes. The letter in Column B tells you what information the next cells in the row contain: l D - Descriptors 1 through 9 in columns C through K. l S - Short Comments 1 through 4 in columns C through F. l L - Long Comment lookup number in column C. l T - The Page Title in column C 2 Make your changes to the documentation.
304
372 SPU 780 01EMAN May 2002
Step Four
Convert the controller addresses from numbers to text.

Step 1 2 Action Find an unused column in the spreadsheet. This temporary column holds information during the conversion process. In the first cell of the unused column, type: =TEXT(A1,"00000"). This formula converts the numerical value in cell A1 into a text value which ProWORX 32 can read. When you press ENTER, the text value appears in the cell where you entered the formula. Select the cell. From the Excel menu, select Edit Copy. Select the temporary column by clicking its header. For example, if you entered the TEXT formula into the first cell of Column M, now select all of Column M. From the Excel menu, select Edit Paste. This operation pastes the TEXT formula copied from the first cell of the temporary column into all the other cells in the column. Click Yes if a warning message appears telling you that the selection is too large for Undo. The temporary column now contains the same values as Column A, but formatted as text instead of numbers. Select the entire temporary column again. From the Excel menu, select Edit Copy. Select Column A. From the Excel menu, select Edit Paste Special, then click Values. The text values from your temporary column replace the numerical values in column A. Click Yes if a warning message appears telling you that the selection is too large for Undo. Select the entire temporary column. From the Excel menu, select Edit Clear then click All. The values in your temporary column disappear. Click Yes if a warning message appears telling you that the selection is too large for Undo.

Distributed I/O (DIO)
One of four major architectures for input/output systems (also see Local I/O, Remote I/O, and Peer-to-peer Communications). I/O that is installed away from the PLC over a wide area and communicates with it through a Modbus Plus network. One Quantum controller can support up to three distributed I/O networks, each with up to 64 drops. The local rack houses a DIO processor for each network, which sets the networks head number. A description of a controllers memory, logic, and configuration. The descriptors, short comments, long comments, and page titles within a database. The editor in which descriptors, short comments, long comments, and page titles can be entered and modified. A 32-bit format which uses two registers to store numerical values. A group of I/O cards physically connected together as an I/O network. A controller reads information from the drop, solves logic, then writes results to the drop in one segment of ladder logic. The Segment Scheduler controls the order in which drops are serviced. An output coil address which has been assigned to more than one coil.

E
EEPROM Element Enable Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory. A ladder logic instruction such as a coil, timer, or short. To allow a PLC, based on the logic programmed into it, to update the state of a coil or input. A special section of logic that lets the programmer solve regular mathematical equations within the network. Not supported by every controller. A format for numbers based on powers of 10. For example, +1.35E-4 indicates 1.35 multiplied by 10 to the power of -4 (i.e. with an exponent of -4), which works out to 0.000135. Extra register memory available for some models of 984/584 controllers. It is accessed through the XMRD and XMWT functions.
