Chapter 2 Setting Up the Demo Unit This chapter will describe the process to set up the Demo Unit ready for configuring the processor and I/O modules. In This Chapter Create a New Project ....................................................................................... 2-1 Changing the Properties of a Resource ........................................................ 2-2 Allocate IP Addresses for Network Communications ..............................
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Changing the Properties of a Resource Note: This procedure is only for Release 1.1 versions of the Controller. If you change any properties of a Resource (see illustration), you have to clean the project/library before you recompile the project. Do the following: 1) Select the Network tab on the Resources-dialog. 2) Click on each field in turn and delete the current value (using the delete or backspace key).
Allocate IP Addresses for Network Communications The AADvance system uses Internet Protocol (IP) for all communications between the controller and the AADvance Workbench. This includes downloading the application to the controller and real-time monitoring of the system in operation. For many systems, the administrator of the local area network will allocate the address for the controller. If this is not the case, choose an address from the ranges allocated to private networks: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Configure the IP Address of the Target Controller To connect the AADvance Workbench project to the target controller you have to tell the project the IP addresses allocated to the controller. Do the following: 1) Select the Hardware Architecture view then double-click on the vertical connection between the SNCP network line and the configuration. 2) The Connection - Properties dialog box opens. 2-4 Document: 553850 Issue 1.
3) Enter the IP Addresses in the Value field for each of the required Ethernet network. Press Enter after typing each IP address. Note: The value shown above is a default value. Enter a value that you require. 4) Click OK. You have now configured the IP addresses of the configuration to match the controller. Document: 553850 Issue 1.
Chapter 3 Downloading the Application to the Controller This chapter describes the procedures for connecting the AADvance Workbench to the controller so that the application can be downloaded. In This Chapter Setting Up the Controller for AADvance Workbench Communications3-1 Setting Up the Controller for AADvance Workbench Communications The AADvance controller stores a resource number and IP address information. These details have to match those defined in the AADvance Workbench for the application.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) The AADvDiscover utility displays a list of the AADvance controllers on the broadcast network, and reports a status for each one: Configurable Locked No response Double-clicking on an entry in the list lets you inspect the resource and IP address settings for a controller. There is also a Refresh button, which makes a scan of the network and creates a new list.
Start → All Programs → AADvance → AADvance Discover. The AADvDiscover utility scans the network for controllers, and creates a list. 4) Locate the controller in the list and make sure that the status of the controller is Configurable. 5) Double-click on the MAC address in the Controller ID field. The resource and IP Address dialog box opens. 6) Enter the resource value into the Resource Number field, click Apply.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Configure the IP Address in the Controller When you build a new AADvance controller, or install a new 9100 processor base unit, you have to configure the IP Address stored in the controller. The procedure to configure the IP Address uses the AADvDiscover utility. Changes take effect immediately and you do not have to restart the controller.
6) Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask into the fields for each Ethernet port. 7) Enter the Gateway values for each processor module, click Apply. Returning to the main window of the utility, the controller status will show In Progress and then Configurable. The controller uses the new settings. Document: 553850 Issue 1.

Chapter 4 Configuring the Controller Processor Modules This chapter describes the process to configure the processor modules: In This Chapter About The Configuration Process.................................................................. 4-1 About the 9110 Module Editor ....................................................................... 4-2 Configure the Top-level Process Safety Time (PST).................................. 4-3 Configure the Processor Battery Alarm ....................................
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) In the next stage of the process you define the T9110 processor module functionality and set up connections to a group of processor module status parameters. Here you will enter values for functions such as the serial port settings, process safety time, and SNTP and Modbus services. The AADvance Workbench provides pre-defined I/O module status parameters for each module to which you assign application variables.
Configure the Top-level Process Safety Time (PST) The PST setting defines the maximum time that the processor will allow the outputs to remain in the ON state in the event of certain internal diagnostic faults or systematic application faults. If PST expires the system will go to its safe state. You have to specify the PST for the whole controller. This is a top level setting, which you make once for all the T9110 processor modules.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Configure the Processor Battery Alarm The 9110 Module Editor includes a configuration setting for the battery alarm. The battery alarm setting has no effect in the current release. Leave this item set to Enabled. Configure the Serial Ports The AADvance controller provides up to six serial communication ports, two for each T9110 processor module present. .
Serial Port Protocols The serial ports support the protocols listed in the table.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Configure the Controller as an SNTP Client The AADvance controller supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) service that can circulate an accurate time around the network. As an SNTP client the controller will accept the current time from external Network Time Protocol (NTP) and SNTP network time servers.
For non-fault tolerant operation, define one SNTP server for only one processor. The other processors will automatically synchronize to it and will inherit the time. For fault-tolerant SNTP client operation, define more than one server address. 3) Select the server version. Choose SNTPv1, SNTPv2, SNTPv3, SNTPv4 or Unknown. If you do not know the version of NTP/SNTP that the server offers, choose Unknown. This will disable some validation of the incoming signal.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) 1) Select the SNTP Servers tab. The SNTP Server Editor dialog box opens. 2) Select the Unicast or Broadcast mode. If you select Unicast mode for a processor the controller will wait to be polled by a client and then respond with a time signal; it will not broadcast any time signals. If you select Broadcast mode for a processor the controller will regularly braodcast: it will also respond to unicast polling requests on that interface.
Support for Modbus Slave Exceptions When the AADvance controller operates as a Modbus slave, it can raise these exception codes: Code 01: Illegal Function The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the slave. If a Poll Program Complete command was issued, this code indicates that no program function preceded it. Code 01 represents a function that the AADvance controller does not recognize or does not support.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Configure the Controller Modbus Slaves You have to configure the communication parameters for each Modbus slave you implement within the AADvance controller. Do the following: 1) Select the Modbus Slaves tab. The 9110 Modbus Slaves Editor dialog box opens. 2) In the Name column, locate the processor and slave you wish to configure. 3) Set the Connection field, click Apply. The Id, Port and Protocol fields are set to their default values.
The default setting for the Port field suits most systems; occasionally, you will have to adjust it. Make sure the Port field matches the port expected by the Modbus master. If the Port field is set to 502, Modbus TCP protocol is enabled. All other settings of the Port field will enable Modbus RTU protocol packaged as a serial stream over Ethernet. This can be converted back to a serial connection using a standard terminal server.

Chapter 5 Configuring the Controller I/O This chapter describes the configuration process for defining the controller I/O hardware in the AADvance Workbench. In This Chapter About Configuring I/O Modules...................................................................... 5-1 About Configuring I/O Channels .................................................................... 5-9 Configuring Digital Inputs ...............................................................................
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Example I/O Slot Configuration In the example illustrated, the modules have been configured as follows: A redundant group of analogue input modules has been configured in the first three slots. Two digital input modules are in the next two slots. There is a single digital input module. There is a group of two digital output modules. Two single digital output modules.
Example Controller Configuration This example controller has two 9110 processor modules and supports 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. Note: The '9801' and '9851' illustrated are simplex termination assemblies for the I/O modules and provide the connections for the field elements. This controller has the following physical layout: the two I/O modules are installed to the right of the processor base unit, which is IO Bus 1.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) The slot and bus numbers must be the same as the actual physical position of the installed modules. Therefore, for this example you would allocate I/O modules as follows: A 9401 module to the empty slot 1 on IO Bus 1 A 9451 module to the empty slot 2 on IO Bus 1. Assign I/O Modules to I/O Bus Slots If you are assigning a single module you can assign the module to any empty I/O bus slot.

Clear an I/O Bus Slot To clear an I/O bus slot do the following: 1) Select the Equipment tab. 2) Right-click to select Clear Slot. The module will be removed from the slot. The slot will now display as Empty ready to be re-assigned a module. Note: The channel variable wiring will automatically be unwired. Document: 553850 Issue 1.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Move a Module to a Different Slot To move an assigned module to a different slot do the following: 1) Select the Equipment tab. 2) Right-click to select the Move To option. 3) Move the cursor to the right and select the IO Bus 1 Position you want to move to. The module is automatically re-assigned to the selected slot. Note: The channel variable wiring will move with the module to the new slot and is automatically renumbered.
Wire Status Variables to I/O Modules You can wire a variable to an I/O module so the application can receive status information from the module. The AADvance Workbench provides a structure (T9K_TA_GROUP_STATUS) for module status information. To wire a status variable to an I/O module do the following: 1) Declare a variable in Dictionary. Use the type T9K_TA_GROUP_STATUS and make sure that the direction is set to input. 2) Select a module from the I/O bus. The unwired term appears in the Variable field.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) T9K_TA_GROUP_STATUS (I/O Module Status Information) The data structure for module status information (T9K_TA_GROUP_STATUS) provides the elements detailed in the table. Note: The controller interrogates an I/O module (designated 'X' in the table) according to the physical arrangement of the module and its position in a group. A simplex module is designated as module A; a duplex module as A or B and a triplicated module as A, B or C.
.XSDN BOOL Shutdown status Reports that module X requires manual intervention (pressing the Fault Reset button) before values can be reported TRUE: the module needs manual intervention .XPOS INT Position Reports the slot number of module X (1 to 24) (†) Note: (†) Slots are numbered 1 to 24 on both buses; the slot location (.LOC) and position (XPOS) do not identify the bus.

Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Overcurrent Protection for Digital Outputs The AADvance controller has three mechanisms to protect its digital output channels: Inrush current protection Short circuit protection for energized channels Short circuit protection for de-energized channels The controller tolerates inrush currents so that its digital outputs can energize capacitive loads without causing the controller to report a short circuit.
Faulted State for Digital Outputs A digital output channel is faulted (the state reports a value of 7) when normal operation or diagnostics tests have identified a specific fault condition. A single identified fault condition thus results in a state value of 7.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) Digital Output Advanced Channel Settings Each output channel from the 9451 digital output module supports the set of control parameters detailed in the table.
About Status Variables for Digital Output Modules The 9451 digital output module provides a number of status variables that are available to the application. The 9451 Variables Editor presents the variables in two collections, which it calls 'racks': Status Booleans, and Power Status Integers. Wire Status Variables to a Digital Output Module To wire a status variable to a digital output module do the following: 1) Navigate to the digital output module in the equipment tree view.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) The 9451 Variables Editor dialog box opens. 2) Select the relevant rack. The editor displays a list of associated variables. 3) Select the variable to be unwired, click the X button. 4) Click Apply. The variable will be unwired. Note: Select the Unwire All button and click Apply to disconnect all of the wired variables in the rack.
Field Power Status Integers The variables in the rack of field power status integers (all DINT) provide information to the application about the field power supplies to a group of digital output modules. Group Field Power Current Direction: input to application from controller Type: DINT Values: 0 to 8,000mA or greater (limited by capacity of DINT variable) Description: Reports the total current that all the active digital output modules in a group are drawing from the field power supply.
Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller) B Module Field Power Voltage 2 Direction: input to application from controller Type: DINT Values: 0 to 48,000mV or greater (limited by capacity of DINT variable) Description: Reports the voltage from the field power supply, for the specified module and field power input. Accuracy is ± 500mV. 5-34 Document: 553850 Issue 1.
