1 Functional description of Hardware
C1120
General
The interface card C1120 is an intelligent interface between the BECKHOFF II/O-Lightbus System and a SIEMENS SIMATIC S5 PLC. The SIEMENS PLC program is enabled to access binary and analog inputs and outputs of the II/O-Lightbus System via a Dual Ported RAM of the interface card. The I/O addresses of the II/O-Lightbus System are mapped to the S5 I/O address memory map with a configuration program running on a personal computer. The interface card C1120 is placed in a PLC slot for ‘intelligent peripherial devices’.

C1120 Configuration
with this menu you can change the C1120 configuration to setup all necessary parameters for the C1120 interface.
The field "S5-CommChannnel" describes the base address for the parallel channel functions (see chapter "parallel channel" ). For use of more than one C1120 cards in one PLC the base address default of 250 for the communication channel can be changed to an other address ( from address 128 - 250, length 6 Byte ). The address for status register will automatically change to input value +4 and the address for interrupt request will change to input value +5.
A single request is able to access an II/O Lightbus module directly without synchronized exchange with the process image (between read of input process image and output process image write)*, by use of the STEP 5 commands "Load I/O process peripherials" e.g. " Transfer I/O process peripherials ". Therefore, the base address "Address single request" of an address block for the single request is to be defined between 128 and 250. By setting a "0" for the base address "Address single request" the single request is disabled.

C1120 S5 to II/O-Lightbus Interface |
Beckhoff II/O-Lightbus System |
To enlarge the I/O address space, the use of "indirect modules" is available - a list of module data fields is stored in the C1120 RAM memory. The base address to exchange data with the Process image of the PLC is defined here (see equiv. chapter).
To obtain correct data for the PLC process image, the process image memory of the C1120 is divided in pages, which each by each are switched towards the PLC and towards the II/O Lightbus to refresh data contents. The pageswitch mechanism changes the memory pages to and from the PLC. The pageswitch inputs are defined as lowest address, the pageswitch outputs are defined as highest address by default.
By writing a "1" to the field "word alignment", the PLC is enabled to access the process image by word commands (16 bit - wise) The necessary selects are generated automatically. For use of more than one C1120, the word alignement can be disabled by overwriting a "0".
The default setup value of "0" in the field "Error request" enables the C1120 to stop the PLC with a timeout status of the C1120 in case errors occur on the II/O-Lightbus System, the C1120 interface deletes the I/O addresses in the Dual Ported RAM mapped to the PLC in case of error. By programming OB 23 and OB 28 the timeout can be managed by PLC software.
By setting the field value "Error request" to "1", the I/O addresses are not deleted in case of errors. The latest input data values are held in place, the writing of outputs data is confirmed, but writing is not executed, the error flag in the status byte is set.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
By use of option "1" the user has to achieve the check of the status byte error
flag in every PLC cycle to branch into a error routine, if the error flag is set.
After occurance of the error flag the fault number and number of modules can be read via the parallel communication channel. After return from the fault situation (repair of fiber optic media) a start of the II/O-Lightbus System can be forced by resetting the C1120 by software from the PLC.
In case of no success of the reset function, the error flag is set again, and as a return value of the function RESET-LWL the value of the initerror is returned (refer to chapter "Parellel communication channel").

Beckhoff II/O-Lightbus System |
By setting the "Free Run" option to "1" in the equivalent mask, the inputs of the II/O-Lightbus System are read asyncronously to the PLCprocess image at maximum II/O Lightbus communication refresh rate. The pageswitch mechanism displayes the newest process image memory page to the PLC.
Entering a “ 1” in the field PLC IRQ Frame causes the C1120 to send an extra control and interrupt message frame for triggering a local process image cycle on the intelligent peripheral modules. Those message frames are appended to the process data message frames.
The current page address of the C1120 is entered in the Page Number field.
String communication is used for communicating with intelligent peripheral modules. It can be used, among other things, for configuring the modules. The data packages (strings) are transmitted to the C1120 by way of the page frame.
The field Transmit Basis is for entering the page frame offset for the strings being sent. It should be noted that starting from the offset, 2 bytes are reserved for the handshake between PLC and C11220. The actual string is entered starting at the offset + 2.
The field Receive Basis is for entering the page frame offset for the strings being received. It should be noted that starting from the offset, 2 bytes are reserved for the handshake between PLC and C11220. The actual string is entered starting at the offset + 2.
The field Maximum String Length is for entering the maximum permissible length of the strings.
The purpose of the fast communications channel is for improved process synchronisation during multi-processor operation (see also “ Fast Communications Channel” ).
Entering a “ 1” in the Activate field enables the fast communications channel (see also “ Fast Communications Channel” ).
Entering a “ 1” in the field IRQ Frame causes the C1120 to send an extra control and interrupt message frame for triggering a local process image cycle on the intelligent peripheral modules assigned to the process channel. Those message frames are appended to the process data message frames.

C1120 I/O Memory Map List
All used II/O-Lightbus modules must be listed in the I/O list. The order of modules in the I/O list must reflect their physical position in the II/O-Lightbus System ring.
First step is to edit the I/O list:
Each new module is to be introduced to the list by pressing "F2": "Insert module". No actions take place during editing without adding a module as described. Addresses of existing modules can be edited and overwritten easily, modules can be deleted by pressing "F3". If a module is deleted, it has to be removed from the II/O-Lightbus System ring.
The coloumn "No" holds the actual line number. The coloumn "Mod" holds the corresponding module address. The coloumn "Msg" is without further use. The coloumn "Description" keeps a 20 character user description of the module name or function. The "CDL" - coloumn is used internally.
The address name of the SIEMENS PLC process image is entered in the fields "D0" to "D3". You can use any order or use addresses twice etc.
The coloumn "Ident" maps the indirect modules to their physical II/O-Lightbus address.
In the column “ STG” , those modules that are to be processed as part of the string communication are identified by a “ 1” . Those modules are similarly assigned to their physical module addresses by means of the Ident number.
Warning ! The interface card C1120 is not able to identify modules. If the I/O list and physical order of modules are different, or the inputs and outputs are set up incorrectly by DIP switches, I/O data is transferred erroneous from the PLC program to the modules without recognition.

Modules can be set up in the configuration list as:
-direct module or
-indirect module,
depending on the necessity of access in every PLC cycle. This is supplied to enlarge the address space of the PLC above 128 bytes process image.
Direct modules
Direct modules are mapped directly to the PLC process image. The PLC process image addresses are edited in the I/O byte addresses D0 to D3 of every telegram frame belonging to the module - each line in the setup screen belongs to a dedicated II/O-Lightbus telegram frame to the addressed module. The address names (e.g. O 10) of the PLC programm are used for reference.
Example given: the modules 1 and 2 are mapped as direct modules. The STEP5 program accesses the I/O addresses 23 to 26, the C1120 maps the I/O data to the modules 1 and 2:
IB 23, IB 24 |
from module 1 |
OB 23, OB 24, OB 25, OB 26 |
to module 2 |
The inputs and outputs can be addressed bit-, byte-, or wordwise:
I 23.0 ... I 23.7, oder IW 23 = IB 23 & IB 24
are handled as usual.
All direct mapped modules are refreshed synchronously and cyclic with the PLC cycle and process image refresh. The direct mapped modules can be accessed directly from the PLC program at any time.
The modules 7 and 8 are also direct modules. However, they are assigned to the fast communications channel by means of their identification codes “ SA” and “ SE” respectively.
If intelligent modules are to be addressed during the PLC cycle (e.g. terminal bus coupler) the first two data bytes (D0, D1) can be assigned constants. Those constants are entered with the identification codes “ M” (for memory) and “ C” (for constant).
In the example, D0 on module 5 is assigned the fixed value 1 (“ M” ) and D1 the fixed value 128 (“ C” ).

Indirect modules
To enlarge the address space of the PLC system, modules can be mapped "indirectly":
they are accessed via a list of "indirect" communications, being addressed by a dedicated base address. These communications are processed in every PLC cycle. They can be used to enlarge the address space of 128 I/O Bytes of the PLC by placing the base address of the indirect communication list above 128. Another option is to change the contents of the I/O list cycle by cycle: a part of the II/O-Lightbus modules are mapped in a round robin way to the indirect I/O list to fit the total number of II/O Lightbus I/O bytes to the I/O address space of the PLC, with the effect, that those modules are being served only at occurence in the indirect communications list. One or more modules can be mapped to the indirect communications list. A single address block consists of the module address (IDENT number) and four bytes of I/O data. The reservation of memory space is done with the menu "Edit configuration": After definition of the base address of the indirect I/O list it is necessary to allocate 5 x (number of modules) Bytes list size: First byte contains the address number, following four bytes containing the I/O data. The list ends with a "0" found in an address byte location. These addresses are not available for standard I/O via PLC process image transfer. Address conflicts have to be avoided by the PLC programmer.
Arbitration of indirect modules
Indirect modules are listed in the I/O setup list, coloumn "D0 .. D3" with IE or IA, with address number 0. The choice of IE or IA is without use for the communication and only indicates the configuration of the II/O-Lightbus modules for input (IE) or output (EA).
By use of the indirect communications list every module in the II/O Lightbus System can be accessed, even the direct configured: Their IDENTnumber has to be placed in the first address block address location, following four bytes keep I/O data. By this, the module is accessed via the indirect communication mechanism. By replacing the IDENT number in the first location of the address block with "0", the indirect communication is skipped. If the programmer decides to address a direct module via indirect communication, the module is addressed twice by the II/O-Lightbus System.
Important! If inputs are read via indirect communication, the programmer has to regard that input informations are valid one cycle after the following. Outputs are written during the following cycle . This effect can be managed by using the statusbyte of the PLC (PB/PY 254): Bit 1 acts as life bit and changes status every cycle. By reading the life bit the programmer can recognize and count cycles (refer also to chapter "status register S5/C1120).
Example:
In above shown setup screen the modules 3 and 4 are mapped indirect. The base address for indirect communications list is set up to 60, number of indirect modules is 2. By this, 10 Bytes of address block space are available for the programmer: Byte 60 contains the IDENTnumber of module 3 (3), the bytes 61 to 64 are I/O data for module 3. Address 65 keeps the IDENT number of module 4 (4), bytes 66 to 69 are I/O data for module 4. Byte 70 is available for standard or direct I/O.
