1 INTRODUCTION

1.1Scope

This document is the User Manual for the Allen Bradley serial communication driver firmware for the Emerson DeltaV Control System; it provides information required to install, configure, and maintain the Allen-Bradleydriver firmware on the DeltaV Programmable Serial Interface Card (PSIC). The reader should be familiar with the DeltaV controller system and theAllen-BradleyPLC-5Family of Programmable Logic Controllers, the AllenBradleySLC-500Family of Serial Logic and/or ControllersAllen-BradleyPLC-3Family of Programmable Logic Controllers.

A DeltaV Programmable Serial Interface Card with the Allen-Bradleydriver may communicate with theAllen-BradleyPLC-5Family of Programmable Logic Controllers, theAllen-BradleySLC-500Family of Serial Logic Controllers and/orAllen-BradleyPLC-3Family of Programmable Logic Controllers within the constraints delineated herein. In general for driver version 1.0, theAllen-Bradleyfamily ofSLC-500’scan communicate using the same command set used to communicate with thePLC-5family. The SLC5/01 communicates via the PLC2 basic commands, so only file N9 can be accessed with the SLC5/01. For driver version 1.1, a specific command type was added to read/write SLC5/XX Input and Output tables. The previous release of the driver, version 1.4, expands on the SLC specific command to read/write all SLC tables. Additionally, this version allows you to select communications using Half Duplex/CRC. Note that the default is Full Duplex/BCC. This release, version 1.7, provides support forPLC-3file read and write, and ControlNet extra hop addressing when using the Allen Bradley1770-KFC15gateway device.

The section Document Format briefly describes the contents of each section of this manual.System Specifications outlines hardware and software requirements for theAllen-BradleyDriver (P1.7) firmware.Related Documents lists other documents used to prepare this manual.

2	THEORY OF OPERATION
	As part of the serial interface port license, a standard Modbus protocol is installed on the
	DeltaV PSIC prior to customization. The PSIC needs to be flash upgraded from the
	Modbus protocol to the Allen-Bradleyprotocol before operation.
	The Allen-Bradleyserial driver implements DF1 protocol. It communicates withPLC-3,
	PLC-5or SLC5/XX devices on the DH+ network through either a1785-KEor1770-KF2
	communication modules. These modules convert the DF1 serial protocol to the DH+
	network protocol. The switch settings must be configured properly for the RS-232or RS-
	422/485 prerequisite for proper operation.
	The Allen-BradleyDriver communicates with the PLC and updates emulated DeltaV I/O
	with the data received from the PLC. The primary functions of the driver are listed below:
	Performs data and message handling between DeltaV and PLC-3 /PLC-5 /SLC5/XX.
	Sends messages to PLC-3 /PLC-5 /SLC5/XX from DeltaV
		Processes reply information and updates the corresponding emulated DeltaV I/O
		channels
		Update emulated input	channel status and Data Block status to indicate the
		communication state of PLC-3 /PLC-5 /SLC5/XX.
	Checks validity of messages received by PLC-3 /PLC-5 /SLC5/XX.
	Upon proper installation and configuration of the Allen-Bradleydriver within the
	DeltaV/PSIC system, communications with a properly configured Allen-BradleyPLC-3 /
	PLC-5or SLC5/XX may proceed.
	There are a maximum of 16 Datasets (DS) per port, with a total of 32 per PSIC. The
	maximum number of data elements per Dataset that can be supported by the PSIC
	depends on the data file type. Note that the number of supported Datasets does not
	change. The following table describes this correlation:
	Dataset Data File Type		Number of Data Elements
			or Registers
	Boolean		100
	Discrete		100
	8-bitsigned integer		100
	16-bitsigned integer		100
	32-bitsigned integer		50
	8-bitunsigned integer		100
	16-bitunsigned integer		100
	32-bitunsigned integer		50
	Floating point		50
	String		1

The DeltaV PSIC is the master in all communications. It polls each input device and requests data values on a message by message basis. The output is performed when a new value is to be written to the devices. The PSIC constantly scans the configured input Datasets for new values and updates the database. Upon a change of value in the output Dataset, the PSIC will finish the current input scan and suspend the input process. It will service all the output requests before resuming the input process.

With the Allen-Bradleydriver installed, the “Advanced” tab under port properties will allow selection of the configuration option for the port to act as a slave. ThisAllen-Bradleydriver does not support slave functionality, so this configuration option is not valid.

The Allen-Bradleydriver supportsPLC-5Logical ASCII and binary addressing, and SLC5/XX Protected Typed Logical addressing.

NOTE: When addressing registers, DeltaV PSIC register numbers are 1 based, whereas PLC and SLC registers are 0 based.

3 Downloading the firmware

To begin installation of the Allen-Bradleydriver, create a folder on the hard drive. The preferred location for the folder is at C:\DeltaV\Ctl\ProgSerial\AllenBradley, although any location will work.

Next, copy the eight files from the diskette provided. Those files are:

1200.idf IO_Compatibility.csv AllenBradleyApp.sdf AllenBradleyApp.hex SerBoot.hex SerReleaseApp.hex StandardModbusApp.sdf Ab-manual.pdf

Once the files have been copied to the appropriate folder, the process of downloading the driver can begin:

1.Start the “Controller Upgrade Utility” from the DeltaV/Installation menu

2.Select “Upgrade I/O Modules” and engage the “Next” button

3.From the controller list select the controller to which the serial card is attached and enter the “Next” button

4.Find the list of I/O cards connected to the selected controller. At the bottom of the screen there is an upgrade file path displayed. Enter the “Browse” button and browse to the directory containing the Allen-Bradleydriver. This should be C:\DeltaV\Ctl\ProgSerial\AllenBradley. Engage the “OK” button to return to the I/O card selection screen

5.Select the Serial Card or Prog Serial Card to be upgraded

6.If the user chooses a standard Serial Card to be upgraded then the card will automatically be upgraded as soon as the “Next” button is entered. If the user chooses a Prog Serial Card, the user will be prompted for the SDF file to use. Browse to and select the proper SDF file. Press the “Open” button followed the “Next” button to start the upgrade process

7.The Flash Upgrade process should start and the progress will be displayed in the progress window. An upgrade complete message will be displayed upon completion of the upgrade.

8.If a standard Serial Card was used for this installation, delete the Serial Card in DeltaV Explorer and Auto-sensethe new Prog Serial Card. Installing a special driver changes the card from a standard Serial Card to a Prog Serial Card.

4.2Device And Dataset Configuration

The following paragraphs discuss some attributes in the device and Dataset configuration:

4.2.1Device Address:

The device address attribute is located in the device configuration box under port. It is the PLC/SLC node address, not the 1785-KEor1770-KF2communication module address. This number is used by DeltaV to uniquely identify each PLC in the Data Highway Plus network. The PLC node address is anoctal-basednumber set with dip switches on the PLC. Therefore, it needs to be converted to a decimal number in the serial card configuration. For example, an octal address of 10 on the PLC corresponds to a decimal address of 8 in the serial card. The acceptable address range is between 1 and 255.

4.2.2Output Mode:

Two output modes are available in the driver: block output (0) and single output (1). In typed or ranged transaction (DeviceDataType 4,5,8, and 9), the block output mode writes the entire data block for every output data value change. Therefore, it is undesirable to contain any foreign-device-controlled(device other than DeltaV) values within the block. For example, if aPLC-5memory N7:5 is written by aPLC-2,and user defines a Dataset with a range of N7:0 to N7:10 in block output mode, an output operation will overwrite the N7:5 with the value in the DeltaV database.

Single output mode allows individual value to be sent out, leaving other values in the Dataset unaffected. In the binary file type, word value is treated as a single value. It does not allow user to write a specific bit within a word. Therefore, the entire 16 bit will be written when a single discrete output value changes. When communication with a PLC-5,writing single bit values in amulti-bitDataset can be achieved withRead-Modify-Write(RMW) transaction (DeviceDataType 7 and 10). The RMW is used only with binary file type and single output mode. Each bit can be set or reset within a binary file without
