Introduction EIO0000000051 6/2010 Introduction 1 Introduction This chapter describes the Advantys STB NIP 2311 Dual Port Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP network interface module (NIM) and its support for the island as an Ethernet network node. The chapter begins with an introduction of the NIM and a discussion of its role as the network adapter for the Advantys STB island. There is a brief overview of the island itself, followed by a description of the major characteristics of the Ethernet fieldbus protocol.
Introduction What Is a Network Interface Module? Purpose Every island requires a network interface module (NIM) in the leftmost location of the primary segment. Physically, the NIM is the first (leftmost) module on the island bus. Functionally, it is the gateway to the island bus. That is, all communications to and from the island bus pass through the NIM. The NIM also has an integrated power supply that provides logic power to the island modules.
Introduction Integrated Power Supply The NIM’s built-in 24-to-5 VDC power supply provides logic power to the I/O modules on the primary segment of the island bus. The power supply requires a 24 VDC external power source. It converts the 24 VDC to 5 V of logic power for the island. Individual STB I/O modules in an island segment generally draw a logic bus current of between 50 and 265 mA.
Introduction What Is Advantys STB? Introduction Advantys STB is an assembly of distributed I/O, power, and other modules that function together as an island node on an open fieldbus network. Advantys STB delivers a highly modular and versatile slice I/O solution for the manufacturing and process industries. Advantys STB lets you design an island of distributed I/O where the I/O modules can be installed as close as possible to the mechanical field devices that they control.
Introduction Extension Segments When you are using a standard NIM, Advantys STB I/O modules that do not reside in the primary segment can be installed in extension segments. Extension segments are optional segments that enable an island to be a truly distributed I/O system. The island bus can support as many as six extension segments. Special extension modules and extension cables are used to connect segments in a series.
Introduction Preferred Modules An island bus can also support those auto-addressable modules referred to as preferred modules. Preferred modules do not mount in segments, but they do count as part of the 32-module maximum system limit. A preferred module can connect to an island bus segment through an STB XBE 1100 EOS module and a length of STB XCA 100x bus extension cable.
Introduction Enhanced CANopen Devices You may also install one or more enhanced CANopen devices on an island. These devices are not auto-addressable, and they must be installed at the end of the island bus. If you want to install enhanced CANopen devices on an island, you need to use an STB XBE 2100 CANopen extension module as the last module in the last segment.
Introduction Overview of the STB NIP 2311 Product Introduction An Advantys STB island bus configured with an STB NIP 2311 NIM can function as a node on an Ethernet network. The STB NIP 2311 module can be a slave device to an Ethernet host manager.
Introduction Embedded Web Site The STB NIP 2311 includes an embedded web site (see page 143), which is a web browser-enabled application. It allows authorized users to access configuration and diagnostic data for the STB NIP 2311 module.
Introduction Introduction to Ethernet Connectivity Introduction The STB NIP 2311 Dual Port Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP NIM allows the Advantys STB island to function as a node on an Ethernet LAN.

The STB NIP 2311 NIM Module The Power Supply Interface Physical Description The built-in power supply on the STB NIP 2311 NIM requires 24 VDC from an external SELV-rated power source. The connection between the 24 VDC source and the island is a 2-pinmale connector: 1 2 connector 1: 24 VDC connector 2: common Connectors Screw-type and spring-type power connectors are provided with the NIM. (Replacement connectors are also available.
The STB NIP 2311 NIM Module Logic Power Introduction Logic power is a 5 VDC power signal on the island bus that the I/O modules require for internal processing. The NIM has a built-in power supply that provides logic power. The NIM sends the 5 V logic power signal across the island bus to support the modules in the primary segment. External Source Power CAUTION IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION The power components are not galvanically isolated.
The STB NIP 2311 NIM Module Logic Power Flow The figure below shows how the NIM’s integrated power supply generates logic power and sends it across the primary segment: The figure below shows how the 24 VDC signal is distributed to an extension segment across the island: The logic power signal is terminated in the STB XBE 1100 module at the end of the segment (EOS). Island Bus Loads The built-in power supply provides logic bus current to the island.
The STB NIP 2311 NIM Module Selecting a Source Power Supply for the Island’s Logic Power Bus Logic Power Requirements An external 24 VDC power supply is needed as the source for logic power to the island bus. The external power supply connects to the island’s NIM. This external supply provides the 24 V input to the built-in 5 V power supply in the NIM. The NIM delivers the logic power signal to the primary segment only.

How to Configure the Island EIO0000000051 6/2010 How to Configure the Island 3 Introduction The information in this chapter describes the auto-addressing and autoconfiguration processes. An Advantys STB system has an auto-configuration capability in which the actual configuration of I/O modules on the island is read and saved to Flash. The removable memory card is discussed in this chapter. The card is an Advantys STB option for storing configuration data offline.
How to Configure the Island 3.1 Understanding Island Bus Addresses How Do Modules Automatically Get Island Bus Addresses? Introduction Each time that the island is powered up or reset, the NIM automatically assigns a unique island bus address to each module on the island that engages in data exchange. All Advantys STB I/O modules and preferred devices engage in data exchange and require island bus addresses.
How to Configure the Island An Example For example, if you have an island bus with eight I/O modules: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NIM STB PDT 3100 (24 VDC power distribution module) STB DDI 3230 24 VDC (2-channel digital input module) STB DDO 3200 24 VDC (2-channel digital output module) STB DDI 3420 24 VDC (4-channel digital input module) STB DDO 3410 24 VDC (4-channel digital output module) STB DDI 3610 24 VDC (6-channel digital input module) STB DDO 3600 24 VDC (6-channel digital output module) STB AVI 12
How to Configure the Island Associating the Module Type with the Island Bus Location As a result of the configuration process, the NIM automatically identifies physical locations on the island bus with specific I/O module types. This feature enables you to hot swap a non-operational module with a new module of the same type.
How to Configure the Island 3.2 Autoconfiguring Island Parameters Overview This section shows you how to use the RST button to autoconfigure the modules on an Advantys island by restoring their default parameter settings.
How to Configure the Island How to Auto-Configure Default Parameters for Island Modules Introduction All Advantys STB I/O modules are shipped with a set of predefined parameters that allow an island to be operational as soon as it is initialized. This ability of island modules to operate with default parameters is known as auto-configuration.
How to Configure the Island What is the RST Button? Summary The RST function is basically a Flash memory overwriting operation. This means that RST is functional only after the island has been successfully configured at least once. All RST functionality is performed with the RST button, which is enabled only in edit mode (see page 56). Physical Description CAUTION UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION OVERWRITTEN—RST BUTTON Do not attempt to restart the island with the RST button.
How to Configure the Island How to Overwrite Flash Memory with the RST Button Introduction Pushing the RST button (see page 49) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory default operating parameters. CAUTION UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION DATA OVERWRITTEN—RST BUTTON Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
How to Configure the Island Overwriting Flash Memory with Factory Default Values The following procedure describes how to use the RST function to write default configuration data to Flash memory. Follow this procedure if you want to restore default settings to an island. This is also the procedure to use to update the configuration data in Flash memory after you add an I/O module to a previously auto-configured island bus.
How to Configure the Island 3.3 Using a Removable Memory Card to Configure the Island Overview This section describes removable memory card usage.
How to Configure the Island How to Install the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card Introduction The card’s performance can be degraded by dirt or grease on its circuitry.

Optimizing Performance 5.1 Selecting a Switch Overview This section describes how to select an Ethernet switch for your network.
Optimizing Performance Role of a Switch in an Ethernet Network Overview Schneider Electric recommends the use of managed switches—not unmanaged switches or hubs—in process control networks.
Optimizing Performance Transmission Speed, Duplex and Auto-Negotiation Introduction Most Ethernet switches support multiple transmission speeds, full- and half-duplex communication, and offer auto-negotiation capability. Hubs, by contrast, do not support full duplex transmissions. Duplex Full duplex enables a switch port to both transmit and receive messages simultaneously, over two dedicated communication channels. Half duplex, instead only permits a port to transmit or receive messages at one time.
Optimizing Performance Quality of Service (QoS) Introduction A switch that supports QoS packet tagging can be configured to deliver higher priority messages before messages with a lower (or no) priority. This enhances system determinism and increases the timely delivery of prioritized messages. In the absence of QoS tagging, the switch delivers various application messages on a first-in first-out basis.
Optimizing Performance IGMP Snooping Multicast Messaging Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an essential feature of multicast messaging. IGMP instructs routers and switches to forward Ethernet multicast packets to only those device ports that have requested these packets. In the absence of IGMP snooping, a switch forwards multicast packets out of all its ports, resulting in greater network traffic, wasted network bandwidth, and degraded network performance.
Optimizing Performance Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Recommendations Schneider Electric recommends these practices: z Use RSTP instead of STP. RSTP provides a faster recovery time than STP. NOTE: Recovery time is the elapsed time between the moment a loss of service is detected and the moment network service is restored. Recovery time depends on: z number of switches: Higher numbers of switches in the topology result in higher recovery times.
Optimizing Performance Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Introduction Use VLANs to divide a larger network into smaller virtual groups of devices, and to split a switch into many virtual network switches. VLANs permit the creation of logically separate groups of network devices, without having to physically re-wire those devices. When a switch receives a message directed to a specific VLAN, it forwards that message only to the switch ports connected to devices that are members of that VLAN.
Optimizing Performance Example In the port-based VLAN example, below, switch ports 1, 2, and 3 are assigned to VLAN A, while switch ports 4, 5, and 6 are assigned to VLAN B: NOTE: A single port can be a member of multiple VLANs.
Optimizing Performance Port Mirroring Introduction Port mirroring lets you troubleshoot switch port transmissions by copying the traffic that passes through one port (the source or mirrored port) and sending the copied transmission to a second port (the destination or mirror) port, where the packets can be examined. In the following example, the data packets transmitted over port 1 are copied and sent to port 6.
Optimizing Performance Recommendation Schneider Electric recommends implementing port mirroring as follows: z A destination or mirror port should be used only for port mirroring; it should not be used for any other purpose. Only the PC with packet sniffer should be connected to the mirroring port. z When configuring the switch, be sure that port mirroring is designed to forward packets—e.g., incoming, outgoing, or both—to meet your requirements.
Optimizing Performance Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent An SNMP agent is a software component that responds to queries about the management data of the switch, and reports events to another device acting as an SNMP manager. The management data for a switch can include: z operational state information (interface status, mode of operation, etc.) z configuration parameters (IP address, features enabled / disabled, timer values, etc.) z performance statistics (frame counters, event logs, etc.
Optimizing Performance 5.2 Control Application Design Overview In a control system, control and automation are achieved by processing and delivering various application service messages. Understanding messages, allocating network bandwidth among messages, and determining the time required for a message to traverse the network are all major performance considerations of your control application design.
Optimizing Performance Message Types Overview Two types of industrial Ethernet message types are supported by the Ethernet communication module: Message Type Includes... Explicit z Non-time critical management data z Read/write application data Implicit z Real-time I/O data z Real-time control data z Real-time synchronization data Explicit Messages Explicit messages transmit information used for device configuration and diagnostics, and for data collection.
Optimizing Performance Explicit messages can be sent as either connected or unconnected, depending on the frequency of your need for data, and on the level of service required: Message type Characteristics Connected z Begins when an originating device initiates a connection by sending a request to a target device. z The connection is established when the originator receives a successful response from the target.
Optimizing Performance Message Connection Types Introduction The transmission of most messages require a point-to-point connection between a transmitter and receiver. For all types of explicit messages, the connection automatically closes when the communication ends, or is timed-out. For implicit messages, the connection must be kept open. If the I/O connection—CIP for EtherNet/IP, TCP for Modbus TCP—the transmission stops.
Optimizing Performance Connection Types and Protocols The connection type and transport protocol employed depends upon the message type and message protocol, as follows: Message Type Message Protocol Connection Type Connection Protocol Explicit EtherNet/IP CIP, TCP TCP/IP Modbus TCP TCP TCP/IP FTP TCP TCP/IP Implicit HTML (web) TCP TCP/IP SMTP TCP TCP/IP SNMP N/A UDP/IP SNTP N/A UDP/IP DHCP N/A UDP/IP BOOTP N/A UDP/IP EtherNet/IP CIP, TCP UDP/IP Modbus TCP TCP TCP/IP
Optimizing Performance TCP and CIP Connections Number of Connections Supported The Ethernet communication module employs both TCP and CIP connections to support both implicit and explicit messages, as follows: Connection Type Maximum Number of Connections per Module CIP 256 TCP 128 NOTE: z z 96 A single TCP connection can support multiple CIP connections. The maximum number of TCP connections does not include connections dedicated to other services, for example, FTP and Web connections.
Optimizing Performance Message Priority QoS The routers and switches that comprise your network infrastructure cannot distinguish between explicit message and implicit messages. However, these devices—including the Ethernet communication module—can support QoS Ethernet packet tagging. Using Qos tagging, these devices can handle messages they send and receive according to each message’s tagged priority, forwarding higher priority messages before lower priority messages.
Optimizing Performance Messaging Performance Maximum Messaging Load The Ethernet communication module supports a the following maximum messaging loads: 98 Message Type Maximum Messaging Load Implicit (EtherNet/IP plus Modbus TCP) 12000 packets per second, with no simultaneous explicit messages Explicit (EtherNet/IP plus Modbus TCP) 120 packets per second, with a maximum of 6000 simultaneous implicit messages EIO0000000051 6/2010
Optimizing Performance Message Frequency Introduction The term message frequency refers to how often a device transmits a particular type of message. Message frequency directly affects control network load and performance, as well as the CPU capacity of every network device that must process these messages.
Optimizing Performance RSTP and IGMP Messaging RSTP and IGMP messages usually consume a very small amount of network bandwidth. Set up the IGMP query period based on your application requirements. Scheduling Certain Explicit Messages Depending on your application requirements, you can also configure certain explicit messages to be transmitted either cyclically or upon the occurrence of a change of state event.
Optimizing Performance Allocating Network Bandwidth Introduction Maximum network bandwidth equals your network speed, for example 100 Mbps. When designing your control network, you must allocate network bandwidth among the control application messages required by your application.
Optimizing Performance Device Load and Device Bandwidth Device Load—measured in number of packets—represents the load contributed by all messages received and sent by a device within one second. Device Load is the sum of the Message Load values for all messages handled by the device. If the Device Load exceeds the device’s processing capability, performance of both the device and the network is degraded.
Optimizing Performance Estimating Message Traverse and Response Times Message Traverse Time Message Traverse Time is defined as the time required for a message to travel from its point of origin to its intended destination over a network path. As the messages travels over the network path, it may pass through—and be forwarded by—a number of intermediate network devices, including switches and routers.
Optimizing Performance Message Response Time After calculating Message Traverse Time (above), you can next measure Message Response Time, which measures the total time required for: z a message to travel from a client device over the network to a server z the message to be processed by the server z the server response to travel back to the client over the network Message Response Time can be calculated as follows: Message Response Time = (2 x (Message Traverse Time)) + (Server Processing Time) In the above

This chapter contains the following sections: Section EIO0000000051 6/2010 Topic Page 7.1 Modbus Messaging 114 7.2 Server-Assigned IP Parameters 142 7.3 Embedded Web Pages 143 7.
STB NIP 2311 Services 7.1 Modbus Messaging Introduction The STB NIP 2311 implements the Modbus Messaging server service. This section describes how data stored in the process image is exchanged between the STB NIP 2311 and the Ethernet network, via Modbus over TCP/IP.
STB NIP 2311 Services Modbus Messaging Service Description The Modbus Messaging Services The Modbus messaging service handles the transfer of data or commands between two devices. One device is the client and the other is the server. The client initiates the request and the server responds to the request. These services use the Modbus protocol (or Modbus over TCP/IP in Ethernet applications) to support the data transfer between devices.
STB NIP 2311 Services Modbus TCP Device Implementation The Modbus application layer is very simple and universally recognized. Thousands of manufacturers are already implementing this protocol. Many have already developed Modbus TCP/IP connections, and many products are currently available. The simplicity of Modbus TCP/IP enables any small field device, such as an I/O module, to communicate over Ethernet without a powerful microprocessor or a large amount of internal memory.
STB NIP 2311 Services A device may implement a Modbus client service, a Modbus server service, or both, depending on the requirements of the device. A client is able to initiate Modbus messaging requests to one or more servers. The server responds to requests received from one or more clients. A typical HMI or SCADA application implements a client service to initiate communications with PLCs and other devices for information gathering.
STB NIP 2311 Services What a Modbus Server Service Provides A device that implements the Modbus server service (for example, the STB NIP 2311 NIM) can respond to requests from any Modbus client. The Modbus server service allows a device to make all its internal and I/O data available to remote devices for both reading and control. Modbus Function Codes The Modbus protocol is a collection of function codes, where each code defines a specific action for the server to perform.
STB NIP 2311 Services When to Use the Server The Modbus server is accessed by either a Modbus client or an I/O scanner service and should be used to transfer plant information, commands, or other required data. The Modbus server provides real-time data transfer or access to data reports that are stored in its memory. The Modbus server answers any Modbus requests it receives. No additional configuration is necessary.
STB NIP 2311 Services Data Exchange with the STB NIP 2311 Introduction Data exchange between a Modbus over TCP/IP host or the HTTP embedded web server and the Advantys STB island bus is conducted over the Ethernet port on the STB NIP 2311 module. Master Devices The input and output data image areas (see page 241) can be accessed and monitored over the Ethernet LAN by a Modbus over TCP/IP fieldbus master or the STB NIP 2311 HTTP embedded web server.
STB NIP 2311 Services Data and Status Objects Data exchange between the island and the fieldbus master involves three object types: z z z data objects: These objects represent the operating values that the master either reads from the input modules or writes to the output modules. status objects: These objects are module health records sent to the input area of the process image by all of the I/O modules and read by the master.
STB NIP 2311 Services The I/O modules have the following island bus addresses: I/O Model Module Type Module’s Island Bus Address STB DDI 3230 2-channel digital input 1 STB DDO 3200 2-channel digital output 2 STB DDI 3420 4-channel digital input 3 STB DDO 3410 4-channel digital output 4 STB DDI 3610 6-channel digital input 5 STB DDO 3600 6-channel digital output 6 STB AVI 1270 2-channel analog input 7 STB AVO 1250 2-channel analog output 8 The PDM and the termination plate are not
STB NIP 2311 Services Each digital output module uses one Modbus register for its data. The analog output module requires two registers, one for each output channel. Therefore, a total of five registers (registers 40001 through 40005) are needed to accommodate the four output modules in the sample island bus assembly. 1 2 The value represented in register 40004 is in the range +10 to -10 V, with 11-bit resolution plus a sign bit in bit 15.
STB NIP 2311 Services The Input Data and I/O Status Process Image Input data and I/O status information from the I/O modules are sent to the input process image area. The fieldbus master or another monitoring device (for example, an HMI panel (see page 243)) can view data in the input data image area. All eight I/O modules are represented in the input process image area. Their assigned registers start at 45392 and continue in the order of their island bus addresses.
STB NIP 2311 Services In total, the Modbus over TCP/IP sample island bus requires 18 registers (registers 45392 through 45409) to support our configuration: EIO0000000051 6/2010 125

Advanced Configuration Features EIO0000000051 6/2010 Advanced Configuration Features 9 Introduction This chapter describes the advanced and/or optional configuration features that you can add to an Advantys STB island.
Advanced Configuration Features Configurable Parameters for the STB NIP 2311 Introduction The STB NIP 2311 network interface module can be configured using either: Advantys configuration software (see page 59), or z the STB NIP 2311 module’s embedded web pages (see page 143) z Refer to the sections of this document describing each of the above features for information on how to configure the STB NIP 2311 module using these tools.
Advanced Configuration Features Configuring Mandatory Modules Summary As part of a custom configuration, you can assign mandatory status to any I/O module or preferred device on an island. The mandatory designation indicates that you consider the module or device critical to your application. If the NIM does not detect a healthy mandatory module at its assigned address during normal operations, the NIM stops the entire island.
Advanced Configuration Features Recovering from a Mandatory Stop WARNING UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/LOSS OF CONFIGURATION—RST BUTTON WHILE RECOVERING FROM MANDATORY STOP Pushing the RST button (see page 49) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory-default operating parameters, which do not support mandatory I/O status. z z Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. If a module is unhealthy, replace it with the same module type.
Advanced Configuration Features Prioritizing a Module Summary Using the Advantys configuration software, you can assign priority to digital input modules in your island assembly. Prioritization is a method of fine tuning the NIM’s I/O scan of the island bus. The NIM will scan modules with priority more frequently than other island modules. Limitations You can prioritize only modules with digital inputs. You cannot prioritize output modules or analog modules.
Advanced Configuration Features What Is a Reflex Action? Summary Reflex actions are small routines that perform dedicated logical functions directly on the Advantys island bus. They allow output modules on the island to act on data and drive field actuators directly, without requiring the intervention of the fieldbus master.
Advanced Configuration Features Configuring a Reflex Action Each block in a reflex action must be configured using the Advantys configuration software. Each block must be assigned a set of inputs and a result. Some blocks also require that you specify one or more user-preset values—a compare block, for example, requires that you preset threshold values and a delta value for hysteresis. Inputs to a Reflex Action The inputs to a reflex block include an enable input and one or more operational inputs.
Advanced Configuration Features Result of a Reflex Block Depending on the type of reflex block that you use, it will output either a Boolean or a word as its result.
Advanced Configuration Features For example, say you want to combine a counter block and a compare block in a nested reflex action. You want the result of the counter to be the operational input to the compare block. The compare block will then produce a Boolean as its result: Result 2 (from the compare block) is the result that the nested reflex action will send to an actual output.
Advanced Configuration Features Island Fallback Scenarios Introduction In the event of a communications interruption on the island or between the island and the fieldbus, output data is put into a fallback state. In this state, output data is replaced with pre-configured fallback values. This makes known the module’s output data values when the system recovers from this condition.
Advanced Configuration Features In most cases, an output module that has one of its channels dedicated to a reflex action goes to its configured fallback state if the module loses communication with the fieldbus master. The only exception is a two-channel digital output module that has both of its channels dedicated to reflex actions. In this case, the module may continue to solve logic after a loss of fieldbus communication.
Advanced Configuration Features Saving Configuration Data Introduction The Advantys configuration software allows you to save configuration data created or modified with this software to the NIM’s Flash memory and/or to the removable memory card (see page 53). Subsequently, this data can be read from Flash memory and used to configure your physical island. NOTE: If your configuration data is too large, you will receive a message when you attempt to save it.
Advanced Configuration Features A Modbus View of the Island’s Data Image Summary A block of Modbus registers is reserved in the NIM to hold and maintain the island’s data image. Overall, the data image holds 9999 registers. The registers are divided into contiguous groups (or blocks), each dedicated to a specific purpose. Modbus Registers and Their Bit Structure Registers are16-bit constructs. The most significant bit (MSB) is bit 15, which is displayed as the leftmost bit in the register.
Advanced Configuration Features The Data Image The 9999 contiguous registers in the Modbus data image start at register 40001.
Advanced Configuration Features Each block has a fixed number of registers reserved for its use. Whether or not all the registers reserved for that block are used in an application, the number of registers allocated to that block remains constant. This permits you to know at all times where to begin looking for the type of data of interest to you. For example, to monitor the status of the I/O modules in the process image, look at the data in block 11 beginning at register 45392.
Advanced Configuration Features Write-Protecting Configuration Data Introduction As part of a custom configuration, you can password-protect an Advantys STB island. Only authorized persons have write privileges to the configuration data currently stored in Flash memory: z Use the Advantys Configuration Software to password-protect an island’s configuration. z For some modules, it is possible to password-protect the island configuration through an embedded web site.
Advanced Configuration Features The Island’s Process Image Blocks Summary Two blocks of registers in the island’s data image (see page 238) are the focus for this discussion. The first block is the output data process image, which starts at register 40001 and goes to register 44096. The other block is the input data and I/O status process image, which also consumes 4096 registers (45392 through 49487).
Advanced Configuration Features Output Data Read/Write Capabilities The registers in the output data process image are read/write-capable. You can read (i.e., monitor) the process image using an HMI panel or the Advantys Configuration Software. The data content that you see when you monitor the output data image registers is updated in near-real time. The island’s fieldbus master also writes updated control data to the output data process image.
Advanced Configuration Features The HMI Blocks in the Island Data Image Summary An HMI panel that communicates using the Modbus protocol can be connected to the CFG port (see page 33) on the NIM. Using the Advantys configuration software, you can reserve one or two blocks of registers in the data image (see page 237) to support HMI data exchange. When an HMI panel writes to one of these blocks, that data is accessible to the fieldbus master (as inputs).
Advanced Configuration Features HMI Output Data Exchange In turn, output data written by the fieldbus master can be used to update enunciator elements on the HMI panel.
Advanced Configuration Features Test Mode Summary Test Mode indicates that the output data of the STB island’s process image is not controlled by a fieldbus master device, but is instead controlled by either the Advantys Configuration Software or an HMI. When the STB island is operating in Test Mode, the fieldbus master cannot write the STB island’s outputs, but can continue to read its inputs and diagnostic data.
Advanced Configuration Features Persistent Test Mode Use the Advantys Configuration Software to configure the STB island for Persistent Test Mode. When the download of this configuration is complete, Persistent Test Mode is activated. Thereafter, the STB island operates in Test Mode each time power is cycled to the island. When Persistent Test Mode is activated, the STB island’s process image output data is controlled exclusively by either the HMI or the configuration software.
Advanced Configuration Features Run-Time Parameters Introduction For STB modules, the Advantys Configuration Software provides the RTP (run-time parameters) feature. It can be used for monitoring and modifying selected I/O parameters and Island bus status registers of the NIM while the Island is running. This feature is available only in standard STB NIMs with firmware version 2.0 or later. RTP must be configured using the Advantys Configuration Software before it can be used.
Advanced Configuration Features Test Mode When the NIM is operating in test mode, the NIM’s output data process image (including the RTP request block) can be controlled either by the Advantys Configuration Software or by an HMI (depending upon the test mode configured). Standard Modbus commands can be used to access the RTP words. If the NIM is in test mode, the fieldbus master cannot write to the RTP request block in the NIM’s output data process image.
Advanced Configuration Features RTP Response Block Words Definitions The following list shows RTP response block words: Modbus Address Upper Byte Lower Byte Data Type Attribute 45303 status (the most significant bit toggle + CMD echo unsigned 16 is used to indicate whether RTP service is enabled: MSB=1 means enabled) RO 45304 data byte 2 data byte 1 (LSB) unsigned 16 RO 45305 data byte 4 (MSB) data byte 3 unsigned 16 RO 45306 - toggle + CMD echo unsigned 16 RO NOTE: The RTP response b
Advanced Configuration Features The most significant bit of an RTP request block’s toggle+CMD byte is the toggle bit. A new command is identified when the value of this bit changes and matches the value of the toggle bit in the toggle+length byte. A new RTP request is processed only if the preceding RTP request has finished. Overlapping RTP requests are not allowed. A new RTP request made before the completion of a preceding request is ignored.
Advanced Configuration Features Virtual Placeholder Summary The virtual placeholder feature lets you create a standard island configuration and depopulated variations of that configuration that share the same fieldbus process image, thereby letting you maintain a consistent PLC or fieldbus master program for various island configurations. The depopulated islands are physically built using only those modules that are not marked as not present, thus saving cost and space.
Advanced Configuration Features For example, the following island configuration contains a NIM, a PDM, 2 digital Input modules, 2 digital output modules, a digital relay output module, an analog input module, and an analog output module: After you assign Virtual Placeholder status to the DRC 3210 digital relay output module (by selecting Not Present in its Options tab), the Advantys STB configuration software marks the virtual placeholder module with a red "X" as shown below: For example, when you physic
