Direct-to-Host Valve
2
In this document, Direct-to-Host valve control is defined as the use of a customer-supplied (possibly pre-existing) Host control system (PLC, DCS, PC, etc.) to directly control the actuation of valves that are equipped with DDC-100 Network-compatible field units. The field units are micro­processor-based devices that can communicate with the Host and respond to Host commands for valve motion and status. The DDC-100 Network uses the EIA RS-485 standard for the physical layer and the A.E.G. Modicon Modbus protocol for the command structure.
The Direct-to-Host solution to valve actuation systems provides distinct advantages for many users. These benefits range from maximizing system design flexibility to utilizing existing plant equipment for valve actuator control. The customer can emphasize selecting the best equipment and software that closely matches the application’s requirements. This solution allows the user to add valve control while avoiding the need to incorporate new control equipment into the facility. Direct-to-Host functionality is accomplished through the use of open architecture control and communications in the valve actuator controls that economically accommodate widely available interfaces for existing SCADA, PLC, or personal computers.
Control
2.1 Advantages of Direct-to-Host Control
• Freedom to design a valve actuator system to interface directly with customer-preferred supervi­sory equipment with open-market availability and off-the-shelf components.
• Maximizes valve actuator system exibility by utilizing the industry standard protocol of Modbus,
complemented with the EIA RS-485 electrical standard.
• Increases control room equipment utilization while incorporating a cost savings to the customer
through the elimination of unnecessary hardware.
• Supports the use of control system components familiar to the user and eliminates the require­ment to learn third-party interfaces.
• Strengthens control system architecture with components readily available on the open market.
• Encourages parts replacement and support programs favorable to the user.
• Promotes direct downloading of valve actuator data to the supervisory control system without
intervening proprietary hardware or protocols.

• Provides a safe and reliable communications path between the supervisory control system and
valve actuator network. This eliminates an unnecessary single point of failure that would exist if the valve control network required a gateway device.
• Enhances the operational relationship between the customer and the customer’s preferred system
integrator.
2.2 Deliverables for Successful Direct-to-Host Implementations
Each Direct-to-Host installation requires coordination to ensure that every supplier understands their deliverable responsibilities. When suppliers understand particular obligations and perform the tasks in an orderly and timely fashion, the DDC-100 Network installation process will progress very smoothly. Appendix A outlines a “typical” chart detailing areas of responsibility or supplier deliverables for installing a DDC-100 system. This appendix is a guideline and may vary from project to project.

Monitoring and Control
Flowserve Limitorque valve actuators that are DDC-100 Network compatible can be controlled and monitored by sending queries and receiving responses over a serial data network. The DDC-100 Network uses the non-proprietary Modbus message protocol and EIA RS-485 standard for the physical communication link.

3.1 Use of Coils and Registers for Monitoring and Control
The material in this section is a brief tutorial and general discussion of the use of Modbus queries and responses to control valve actuators. The detailed discussion of the commands will be given in Section 3.2.
The Modbus communications protocol allows for working with two types of information—coils (or bits) and registers (or 16-bit words). Coils are either ON (1) or OFF (0) and are used in direct relation to relays (that have coils). For example, in a typical actuator, Coil 1 is energized to CLOSE the actuator and Coil 2 is energized to OPEN the actuator. Register information is used for control functions that do not involve coils. An example would be to write a command value to energize the open or close coil or move the actuator to a position of 0 to 100% of open.
4 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide FCD LMAIM4019-00 FCD LMAIM4019-00 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide 5
Queries are used to send requests from the Modbus master (Host) to the Modbus slave (DDC-100 Field Unit), and the slave must respond with an appropriate response or an error message.
The Modbus function codes that are supported in the DDC-100 Network are a subset of the complete Modbus function codes and are listed below:
01 Read Coil Status Reads the ON/OFF status of discrete outputs (coils) in the field units.
02 Read Input Status Reads the ON/OFF status of discrete inputs in the field units.
03 Read Holding Registers Reads the binary contents of holding registers in the field units.
04 Read Input Registers Reads the binary contents of the input registers in the field units.
05 Force Single Coil Forces a single coil to either the ON or OFF state.
06 Preset Single Register Presets a value into a single-holding register.
08 Diagnostics Provides communication tests and checks for internal error conditions in the
field units.

15 Force Multiple Coils Forces multiple coils to either the ON or OFF state.
16 Preset Multiple Registers Presets a value into multiple holding registers.
NOTE: All data in Modbus messages are referenced to zero. The first occurrence of a data item is addressed as item number zero. This includes Coils, Inputs, and Registers. For example, coils 1-8 would be addressed as 0-7, inputs 1-16 would be addressed as 0-15, and registers 1-16 would be addressed as 0-15.
3.2 Modbus
The Modbus protocol was developed by A.E.G. Modicon for communicating to various networked devices. The relationship between these devices and a central controller is called a master-slave relationship in which the master (Host device) initiates all communications. The slave devices (field units in the actuators) respond to the queries from the master. Modbus only permits one master to communicate at any given time (simultaneous communication is prohibited) for assuring process control integrity.
The controlling device (master) must conform to the Modbus protocol as defined in the Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide PI-MODBUS-300 Rev. G and support Modbus function codes 01 through 06, 08, 15 and 16. These function codes are a subset of the complete protocol and are defined in Table 3.2.
The choice of which query to use in a particular situation can significantly affect the efficiency of the network. As an example, consider the situation where the Host requires the status of the coils, the status of the digital inputs, the status of the faults, and the status of the timers and analog chan­nels. This information can be obtained by using the 01 - Read Coil Status query, the 02 - Read Input Status query, and 04 - Read Input Register query. To obtain this information, the Host would have to send three separate queries, and the field unit would have to respond to each query separately. A more efficient way to accomplish this same request for information would be through the use of the 03 - Read Holding Register query. The Host would issue the 03 query (specifying the registers to read), and the field unit would respond with one response that would contain all of the requested information. The latter approach would generate considerably less network traffic than the former approach, improving network capacity and response times.
In the strict sense, all transmissions from the Modbus master are called commands. In this manual, a request for information, however, may be referred to as a query. Usually the term query will only be used in conjunction with function codes (01), (02), (03), (04), and (08), which typically request data. Commands are used in conjunction with function codes (05), (06), (15) and (16), which typically initiate field unit action.
Examples
• The coil known as “coil 1” in the eld unit is addressed as coil 0000 in the data address eld of a
Modbus message.
• Digital input 129 decimal is addressed as digital input 0080 hex (128 decimal).
• Holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the data address eld of the message.
The function code field already specifies “holding register” operation. Therefore the reference “4XXXX” is implicit.
• Holding register 40009 is addressed as register 0008 hex (8 decimal).
3.2.1 Modbus Function Code 01 (Read Coil Status)
This function code is used to read the coil status in the DDC-100 Field Unit. There are nine coils available to be read on DDC-100 Field Units as shown in Table 3.3. For the MX/DDC or UEC-3-DDC Field Unit, Coil 1 indicates CLOSE contactor and is interlocked with Coil 2, Coil 2 indicates OPEN contactor and is interlocked with Coil 1. When the I/O Module is used in non-MOV (motor-operated valve) mode, relays 1 through 6 or coils 3 through 8 are available for user configuration.

MX/DDC actuators shipped prior to 2nd QTR, 1999, have the following definition for Register 9 bit 6. When this bit has a value of 1 or true, the actuator selector switch is in LOCAL mode. This bit does not indicate STOP or REMOTE. The actuator selector switch in REMOTE (available for network control) is indicated by Register 12 bit 00 having a value of 1 or true. Register 9 bit 6 value 0 (zero) or false AND Register 12 bit 00 value 0 (zero) or false indicates selector switch is in the STOP position.
MX/DDC actuators shipped after 2nd QTR, 1999, have the following definition of Register 9 bit 6. When this bit has a value of 1 or true, the actuator is in LOCAL or STOP (unavailable for network control). The actuator selector switch in REMOTE (available for network control) is indicated by Register 12 bit 00 having value of 1 or true.
IMPORTANT: Verify Host program when installing an MX/DDC actuator shipped after 2nd QTR, 1999, on a network commissioned before 2nd QTR, 1999, for indication of selector switch values. Proper selector switch indication at the Host will ensure safe conditions at the facility.

3.2.4 Modbus Function Code 04 (Read Input Register)
This function code is used to read the binary contents of input registers in the DDC-100 Field Unit. The typical use of this function code is to read the analog input registers. If the field unit is configured for scaled analog data, the register information will be returned as a percent from 0 to 100 (see NOTE below). The first analog input register (Analog 4) will start at register 30005 through (Analog 1) Input Register 30008.
This function code may also be used to read the information available in registers 9 through 16.
NOTE: Limitorque field units can be configured to report analog data in several formats. See the appropriate field unit manual for details.
Example
Poll field unit number 70 for 4 registers starting at register 5 (Analog Input Registers 1-4).
(This example assumes that the field unit is configured for scaled analog data.)

3.2.5 Modbus Function Code 05 (Force Single Coil)
This function code is used to force a single coil in the DDC-100 Field Unit. Forcing the individual coil either ON (1) or OFF (0) will energize or de-energize a coil (digital output) in the field unit. Coil 1 in the field unit closes the actuator and Coil 2 opens the actuator. If the actuator is opening or closing, changing the status of coil 1 or 2 from a value of 1 to 0 will stop the actuator (the coil will automati­cally be set to zero when the actuator reaches the full open or full close position).
Available digital outputs for DDC-100 Field Units are listed in Table 3.6. Force-coil commands should be issued only once for the desired field unit control. Repeated issuance of an acknowl­edged command will degrade network performance.
3.2.6 Modbus Function Code 06 (Preset Single Register)
This function code is used to preset a single register in the field unit. The function code is typically used to command the DDC-100 Field Unit by writing values to the 40001 and 40002 registers. A predetermined value may be used to open/stop/close the actuator, move the actuator to a preset position, activate/deactivate network ESD, reset the field unit, etc.
The Modbus function code 06 is also used to command a throttling actuator to “move-to” a posi­tion of 0-100% of open. The field unit will compare the new position value with the current position and open or close the valve to meet the new position requirement. This is a two-step command: the first step is to write the desired position value to the field unit register 40002, then write the value of 6656 to field unit register 40001. This sequence of commands loads the desired position, then
NOTE: See Bulletin LMAIM1329, Accutronix Installation and Operation for MX-DDC Field Unit to
instructs the field unit to execute the command.
configure AS and AR Relays for DDC control.
For UEC-3-DDC field units containing Modbus Firmware 2.00 or greater and MX-DDC field units containing Firmware 02/01.00 or greater, the “move-to” command may be executed with a one-step command.
18 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide FCD LMAIM4019-00 FCD LMAIM4019-00 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide 19
Modbus function code 06 command values for controlling the DDC-100 Field Unit are given in Table
3.7. Each command should be issued only one time for the desired field unit control. Repeated issuance of an acknowledged command will degrade network performance.
Example of Field Unit Command
Write the command to open an actuator (actuator open) to field unit number 179. This corre­sponds to writing the value 256 into field unit register 40001.
The normal response to the (06) command is an echo of the command.
NOTE:
1) Only use values listed in table 3.7 For field unit register 40001.
2) Field Unit Register 40002 should only be used for “move-to” position input.
3) The Host MUST issue “move-to” commands in the proper sequence. Failure to issue this two-step command in the correct sequence will result in the field unit waiting for the proper command sequence execution before performing the “move-to” function.
4) The “move-to” command should only be used with field units that include the position control option.
5) Do not write to Field Unit Registers 5-16.

Do Not Use–This command is not intended for use in this configuration.
Other registers may also be preset to control or change other functions but care must always be taken to properly change these values. An improper value written to a register can cause undesirable actions from the DDC-100 Field Unit.
NOTE: Null Command–The field unit takes no action when this command is received. This command is typically used by a Host to reset the Host output register when required.

3.2.7 Modbus Function Code 08 (Diagnostics)
This function code provides a series of tests for checking the communication system between the Host and field units (slaves), or for checking various error conditions within the field unit. This function code uses a two-byte subfunction code field in the query to define the type of test to be performed. The field unit echoes both the function code and subfunction code in a normal response. It does not affect the field unit in any way. If this exchange is successful, then the communication is successful.
A listing of the supported diagnostic two-byte subfunction codes is given in Table 3.8.
Rules for utilizing this command:
• Field unit scaling must be congured for 0-100.
• To use the hexadecimal method of determining a single write “move-to” command, 0x4B is
always placed into the Hi Byte of Register 1.
• The desired position value is always placed into the Lo Byte of Register 1.
To move the actuator to a position of 50%, place the value 0x4B in the high byte and the value of 0x32 (50 decimal) into the low byte.
Example: Hex format: 0x4B32
To use the decimal method of determining a single write “move-to” command, add the desired position value to 19200.
Example: Desired position: 50%
19200 + 50 = 19250
Example of single write “move-to” command
Move an actuator at address 1 to 50% of open by writing the value of 19250 (0x4B32) to the field unit 40001 register. The actuator will then move to a position of 50% open.

3.2.8 Modbus Function Code 15 (Force Multiple Coils)
This function code allows the user to force multiple coils with a single command and uses the same coil assignments as the function code 05.
It should be noted that the coils are operated from the lowest coil number to the highest. Forcing coil 1 or 2 OFF (0) is considered a stop command, sending a 15 command to force two coils starting with coil 1, with coil 1 ON and coil 2 OFF, would result in the unit stopping, since coil 2 is forced OFF after coil 1 is forced ON.
To prevent inadvertent Stop commands from being issued, it is recommended to force one coil at a time.
Available digital outputs for DDC-100 Field Units are listed in Table 3.6. Force multiple coil commands should be issued only once for the desired field unit control. Repeated issuance of an acknowledged command will degrade network performance.
NOTE: This function code is implemented in UEC-3-DDC Modbus Firmware 2.00 and greater and MX-DDC Firmware 02/01.00 and greater
Example of force coil command
Force coil 1 of field unit 1 ON. This will CLOSE the valve controlled by field unit 1.

3.2.9 Modbus Function Code 16 (Preset Multiple Registers)
This function code is used to preset single or multiple registers in the field unit and uses the same predetermined register values as the function code 06. This function code is typically used to command the DDC-100 Field Unit by writing values to the 40001 and/or 40002 registers.
Modbus function code 16 command values for controlling the DDC-100 Field Unit are given in Table
3.7. Each command should be issued only one time for the desired field unit control. Repeated
issuance of an acknowledged command will degrade network performance.
Example of Field Unit Command
Write the command to open an actuator (actuator open) to field unit number 1. This corresponds to writing the value 256 into field unit register 40001.

The DDC-100
4
The Flowserve Limitorque DDC-100 Network is a digital communications network based on non-proprietary hardware and protocols. This network is capable of maintaining up to 250 valve actuators or other devices over a simple shielded, twisted-pair connection. The network consists of a master (Host PLC, Host Computer, Limitorque Master Station, or some other Master-capable device) and a number (up to 250) of field units. The EIA RS-485 standard is used for the physical interface between devices to provide reliable communications over long distances.
Two protocols are supported by Limitorque Field Units—Modbus® and BITBUS®. The protocol must be specified when the units are ordered; however, the protocol may be changed in the field (requires new EPROM). The Modbus protocol was developed by AEG Modicon and the BITBUS protocol was developed by the Intel Corp. Modbus protocol is more widely used, has a simpler implementation, and satisfies most applications that are not extremely time-critical. Therefore, this document addresses only the Modbus protocol. BITBUS protocol information is available upon request.
Network
NOTE: The MX-DDC does not support Bitbus protocol.
The network cable connects the field unit to the Host System. Belden 3074F, 3105A, and 9841 shielded, twisted-pair cable should be used. The use of other cables may result in a reduction of internodal distances or increased error rate. Other individually shielded, twisted-pair cables with electrical properties within 5% of the recommended Belden cables may be used but have not been performance-tested with the DDC-100 Network.
Belden 3074F Specifications
• Total cable length between repeaters or nodes with repeaters: up to 19.2 kbps: 5000' (1.52 km)
For loop mode, this is the total length between operating field units. If a field unit loses power, relays internal to the field unit connect the A1 Channel to the A2 Channel, which effectively doubles the length of the cable (assuming a single field unit fails). If you need to assure operation within specifications in the event of power failure to field units, then this consideration must be added. Example: To assure operation within specification when any two consecutive field units lose power,
then the maximum length on cable up to 19.2 kbps: 5000' (1.52 km) per every four eld units.

The optional channel, Channel B, is used in network topologies that feature dual redundant communication paths. Please contact Flowserve for further information about dual redundant communication paths with the DDC-100 Network.
4.1.1 Field Unit Network Bypass Relays
Every Limitorque DDC-100 Field Unit is equipped with a set of network bypass relays designed to isolate the individual field unit from the network in the event of a field unit power failure. These normally closed relays are energized on field unit power-up allowing the network data transmis­sions to enter the field unit repeater circuitry and UART (Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmit circuit). When the field unit power is turned off, these relays close, shorting the signal through the field unit network board so the signal may pass to the next field unit. This isolates the powered­down field unit from the network while allowing the remainder of the network to function normally.
Care must be taken in the design of the DDC-100 network cable routing. This is necessary so maintenance programs or other group power outage conditions do not add more physical cable distance between two functional field units than the RS-485 electrical signal can support.
NOTE: The MX-DDC Field Unit will not energize the network bypass relays until the field unit is fully operational and ready to communicate. UEC-3-DDC Field Units revision 1.57 and greater will “fast start” the UART, preventing network communication disruption during the field unit reboot cycle.
4.1.2 Field Unit Repeater Circuits
Belden 9841 Specifications
• Total cable length between repeaters or nodes with repeaters: up to 19.2 kbps: 3500' (1 km)
For loop mode, this is the total length between operating field units. If a field unit loses power, relays internal to the field unit connect the A1 Channel to the A2 Channel, which effectively doubles the length of the cable (assuming a single field unit fails). If you need to assure operation within specifications in the event of power failure to field units, then this consideration must be added. Example: To assure operation within specification when any two consecutive field units lose power, then the maximum length on cable up to 19.2 kbps: 3500’ (1 km) per every four field units.

4.1 Field Unit Network Communication Channels
Before proceeding with discussions of network polling, network error monitoring, and network control, it is necessary to explain some network terminology with respect to field unit communica­tion channels, ports, and hardware features.
All Limitorque DDC-100 Field Units are provided with a dual port network communication channel. This channel is designated Channel A and the ports are designated ports A1 and A2. Both ports are capable of bi-directional serial communications and comply with the EIA RS-485 standard.
In addition, some field units can optionally be ordered or retrofitted with a second dual port network communication channel. This channel is designated Channel B and the ports are designated ports B1 and B2. Channel B is implemented by adding a Granddaughter Board and an additional Network Board to the standard field unit (not available with MX-DDC).
Every Limitorque DDC-100 Field Unit communications channel contains a repeater circuit that recenters, reclocks, and amplifies the incoming signal and sends it out the opposite port. The circuit is bi-directional, so it will repeat the received signals from port A1 out A2 or from port A2 out A1. When the optional Granddaughter Board (not available with the MX-DDC) is added, the repeater also recenters, reclocks, and amplifies the incoming signal received from B1 out B2 or from B2 out B1. Although the circuit resends the entire message, there is less than a one-bit time delay before retransmission out the corresponding port.
4.2 Network Topologies
Three network topologies are commonly used and supported by Limitorque—redundant loop, single-ended loop (or half loop), and single-line multi-drop. The recommended cable types for all three topologies are Belden 3074F, Belden 3105A, or Belden 9841. Other individually shielded, twisted-pair cables with electrical properties within 5% of Belden 3074F, Belden 3105A, or Belden 9841 may be used but have not been performance-tested with the DDC-100 Network.
4.2.1 Redundant Loop
The redundant loop topology requires two serial communication ports on the Host device. Because each field unit can be accessed by two ports, redundant access paths are supported. The connections from the serial ports to the field units and between field units are made with shielded, twisted-pair cable in a loop configuration. This topology tolerates a single-line break or short while maintaining communications to all field units. Figure 4.1 shows the redundant loop network topology.
With redundant loop topology, serial data is transmitted from Host port 1 through an RS-232 to RS-485 converter to port A1 of the first field unit. The field unit passes the data that comes in port A1 out through port A2 to the next field unit A1 port. Each subsequent field unit receives data through its A1 port then passes the data out through its A2 port to the next field unit. The looped communication continues in this manner until the last field unit port A2 relays the serial data to port
28 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide FCD LMAIM4019-00 FCD LMAIM4019-00 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide 29
2 on the Host. The Host is not required to act on the data received at the second port. Note that, because of the bi-directional nature of the serial ports, the direction of data flow can be reversed. Communications can be initiated by port 2 of the Host to port A2 of the first field unit. This data is then transmitted out port A1 to port A2 of the next field unit. The data then continues in this direc­tion until it reaches port 1 of the Host. In either direction, the signal is regenerated in each field unit to permit longer-distance communications with reduced noise sensitivity and improved reliability.

4.2.2 Single-Ended Loop
The single-ended loop topology is the loop topology described above except that only one end of the loop is connected to the Host as shown in Figure 4.2. The single-ended loop is wired by cabling from the Host port to the first field unit port A1. Port A2 of this field unit is then connected to port A1 of the next field unit. This continues until the last field unit is connected. (If a stub cable is run from port A2 of the last field unit to a planned field unit location, or the last field unit is discon­nected, the end of the cable must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor to prevent unacceptable signal reflections.) The connection of the single-ended loop is identical to the redundant loop except that in the single-ended loop the connection from the last field unit to port 2 of the Host is omitted.
The single-ended loop topology utilizes the field unit repeater circuitry that maximizes the number of field units and distance inherent with the loop topology. The single-ended loop is inherently less reliable than the redundant loop topology because the Host can only reach the field units from one direction. It is, however, more reliable than the single-line multi-drop because a break or a short will only prevent communication with the field units beyond the break or short.

4.2.3 Single-Line Multi-drop
The single-line multi-drop topology is shown in Figure 4.3. Single-line multi-drop is wired by cabling from the Host and connecting to the first field unit port A1. The cable to the next field unit is attached to the same terminals on the first field unit and then run to port A1 on the second field unit. This continues until the last field unit is connected.
A single-line multi-drop topology can simplify installation (especially when pre-existing wiring is used), but it does not offer the extra reliability of a looped communication path. A line break prevents communication with field units beyond the break, and a line short will cause a loss of communication with all field units.
The maximum number of field units that can be accommodated by the single-line multi-drop network is 28 units and the maximum distance between the Host and the last field unit is 1800 feet (550 m) without the use of repeaters. Note that all Limitorque field units can be wired to act as repeaters by using ports A1 and A2.
Flowserve recommends use of the single-ended loop topology in lieu of single-line, multi-drop for the MX-DDC.
NOTE: The single-line multi-drop topology requires the removal of termination resistors and bias voltage jumpers from all but the last field unit. See the appropriate field unit manual or contact Flowserve for assistance.

4.3 Network Polling
Network polling is a Host-generated systematic request for information from each field unit on the serial communication network. This systematic process updates the Host Data Table (Poll Table) with each complete network scan. By utilizing this sequential update sequence, the Host can operate more efficiently because the Data Table always contains up-to-date information.
In systems in which there is no up-to-date Data Table, the Host must check the status of a field unit every time it needs to actuate a valve. This check is required to determine if the actuator is capable of movement prior to the issuance of the command to move. The continuous poll process should be enabled at all times to allow peak network performance.
N/C
Safeguards are built into the Limitorque field units that operate in the event of a disruption in the polling process. The field unit network watchdog timer will start a field unit reset process if the field unit does not recognize that it has been polled in a specified time interval (default 60 seconds). This field unit reset process is designed to clear any errors in the field unit that may prevent successful communication to a Host device.
32 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide FCD LMAIM4019-00 FCD LMAIM4019-00 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide 33
Causes of inability to communicate (fail to respond within the watchdog timer interval) can range from faulty network wiring, receipt of garbled or poorly constructed messages, multiple simulta­neous Host queries, Host queries faster than field unit responses, or Host shutdown. In a normally functioning actuator network, the field unit reset process will not be activated.
The UEC-3-DDC factory default setting (changeable through field unit Register 112) for the network watchdog timer is 60 seconds. If the field unit is not polled within this time interval, the field unit will reset its UART in an attempt to re-establish communication with the Host. This process of waiting for a poll and UART resets will occur a total of three times. After three cycles, the field unit microprocessor CPU will be reset. The field unit will then remain inactive and wait for network communication without further resetting. If a valid query is received, the network watchdog timer is restarted.
The MX-DDC does not perform a complete field unit reset. After 60 seconds without communica­tion, the MX-DDC Field Unit will set the appropriate bit and indicate a communication loss on Channel A1 (Channel A) or A2 (Channel B) or both.

NOTE: Each field unit reset (UART or CPU) may take 10 to 15 seconds to perform, during which
Host communications, queries, and commands are not accepted.
Four other important points concerning network polling
1) The information that is requested from each field unit can be the same for every field unit, or each field unit may be requested to return a unique set of information.
2) When sending commands to the field units, the Host should always wait until a command is acknowledged before sending another command. This will prevent communication collisions on the network.
3) The network can have only one Master device at a time. Simultaneous Masters are not permitted.
4) Host time-out should be greater than 200 ms.
The network scan time for a Modbus Network depends on the number of registers requested from each device and the number of devices attached to the network. Tables 4.1 and 4.2 provide guidelines for calculating average field unit poll times and average network scan times. The Modbus function code 03 was used to obtain this information.
Tables 4.1 and 4.2 do not include Host delay between each poll. Host delays between each poll are variable for each Host. The Host turn-time from receipt of poll to issuance of next poll should be greater than 20 ms and less than 50 ms.

Example
An MX-DDC Network with 20 field units with 5 registers per field unit being polled will have an average total network scan time of .98 seconds. Host message turn-time per
field unit must be added to this number. (Typical open/close or close/open operating times for motor-operated valves is 30 to 90 seconds.)
4.3.1 Network Communication Errors
In understanding how network communication errors should be handled, a brief discussion defining the difference between field unit communication fault status and Host communication fault status should be helpful. In a typical Limitorque DDC-100 Network, there are two levels of Channel A and Channel B fault.
The first level is the field unit level. In each DDC-100 Field Unit, there are Channel A/B Fault bits located in Register 9, bits 10 and 11 respectively. These bits are set by the field unit as a result of successful communication with the Host over the network.
For UEC-3-DDC and I/O module-based field units, the Channel A bit monitors the standard communication Channel A (ports A1 and A2) for redundant loop communications. The Channel B bit monitors the optional Channel B (ports B1 and B2). Channel B is a second port that is used for dual redundant loop communications.
In a redundant loop network with no faults, the UEC-3-DDC Field Unit will report Channel A with
no fault (Reg. 9, bit 10 – contents = 0), but Channel B will indicate a fault condition (Reg. 9, bit 11 – contents = 1). The Channel A fault bit is 0 because the eld unit Channel A is active with no faults,
while Channel B is 1 because the optional granddaughter board for Channel B is not installed or in use.
For MX-DDC-based field units, the Channel A bit monitors the communication Channel A1 (terminal points 15 and 16) and the Channel B bit monitors communication Channel A2 (terminal points 29 and 41) for redundant loop communications (the MX-DDC does not support dual redundant loop communications).
In a redundant loop network with no faults, the MX-DDC Field Unit will report Channel A with no
fault (Reg. 9, bit 10 – contents = 0) and Channel B with no fault (Reg. 9, bit 11 – contents = 0).
This level of communication-error reporting is used for local field unit communication diagnostics. Should a Host not be able to communicate with a field unit, the Host will not be able to retrieve this or any other status information to indicate error conditions.
34 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide FCD LMAIM4019-00 FCD LMAIM4019-00 DDC-100 Direct-to-Host Programming Guide 35
The second level of monitoring Channel A/B fault occurs at the Host and provides communication information for utilization by the Host. When a Host is configured with two network serial ports, one port is designated as Channel A (Port 1) and the other port is designated as Channel B (Port 2).
During the course of polling, the Host will retrieve the field unit status register that contains the field unit-defined status of Channel A/B fault described above. The Host may overwrite the retrieved field unit Channel A/B faults (field unit Register 9 bits 10 and 11) in the Host’s memory to indicate communication status between the Host serial ports (A and B) and each field unit.
Channel A and Channel B fault bits may equal a 1 or 0 depending on the Host’s requirement of a 1 or 0 to indicate successful communication. This provides an accurate indication of the communica­tion status from both Host Serial ports to each field unit. Typically, this type of communication-fault recording is consistent with Hosts containing “C”-based programs.
An equally effective method for recording the communication status between the Host’s two network serial communication ports and networked field units is to create a separate memory loca­tion in the Host for recording Channel A/B fault status. This memory location may be configured so a register, say Register X, bits 0 and 1 are field unit 1 Channel A/B fault status, bits 2 and 3 are field unit 2 Channel A/B fault status and so on.
Another permutation of this method is to configure the Host memory so Register X contains the Channel A fault status for the first 16 field units and Register X+1 contains the Channel B fault statuses for the first 16 field units and so on.
It should be remembered that a Host with only one serial communications port will not have the ability to handle redundant loop network communications. Therefore, communication status will be limited to only one channel.
NOTE: In the Direct-to-Host architecture, Channel A and B faults need to be set by the Host. Setting these faults will allow the system integrator to establish field unit time-out, retry, and field unit communication status.
with the field unit are not successful from the second port, the corresponding Channel Fault bit will be set to 1, and the Host will resume polling on the original port. Once the Host has completed polling all configured field units on the first port, the polling routine will switch to the other port and repeat the above process.
Example
There are five field units on a network (redundant loop topology) and field unit number 3 has been turned off. The Host is currently polling field units through Host port 1 (Channel A). Field unit numbers 1 and 2 respond to the Host port 1 poll. Field unit number 3 does not respond to the port 1 poll causing the Host to set field unit 3 Channel A Fault bit to 1. The Host now changes to port 2 (Channel B) and polls field unit number 3. Field unit number 3 does not respond to the port 2 poll, causing the Host to set the field unit 3 Channel B Fault bit to 1. Next, the Host changes back to port 1 and attempts to poll field unit number 4. This communication attempt is successful and the Host now polls field unit number 5 through Host port 1. Field unit number 5 responds, completing the port 1 poll.
Next, the Host repeats the process through Host port 2 (Channel B). Field units 1 and 2 respond, field unit 3 does not respond, and the Host sets the field unit 3 Channel B Fault bit to 1. The Host changes to port 1 (Channel A) and attempts to communicate with field unit 3. Field unit 3 does not respond. The Host sets the field unit 3 Channel A Fault bit to 1, switches back to port 2, and resumes polling the remainder of the configured field units. Once field units 4 and 5 have been successfully polled via port 2, the Host then switches to port 1 and repeats the polling process. The intermediate alternating port process described above continues until field unit 3 is powered on and the communication fault clears. (See Example 2 in this section.)
Commands for field unit control should interrupt the polling process and be issued through the current poll port. Once the field unit has acknowledged the command, the Host resumes the polling process. In the event of a communication fault between the current poll port and a commanded field unit, the Host should issue the command through the other communication port.
4.3.2 Network Communication Examples
The following write-ups and examples indicate proven polling techniques. The programmer who adheres to these various examples will find their projects easier to implement.
ALL EXAMPLES SHOWN DEPICT A NETWORK IN WHICH THE HOST IS OVERWRITING THE RETRIEVED FIELD UNIT CHANNEL A/B FAULT BIT (FIELD UNIT REGISTER 9, BITS 10 AND 11). The programmer has the choice of overwriting these communication fault bits or creating a separate communication fault table in the Host’s memory as detailed in Section 4.3.1, Network Communication Errors.
In Redundant Loop Mode, the Host provides communication redundancy to each configured field unit on the network. The Host monitors the status of the communication path between port 1 and each configured field unit and between port 2 and each configured field unit. Host port 1 commu­nication status between port 1 and the addressed field unit is recorded in the field unit Channel A Fault bit. Host port 2 communication status between port 2 and the addressed field unit is recorded in the field unit Channel B Fault bit. Both Channel A and Channel B Fault bits are located in the field unit Status Register 9, bits 10 and 11 in the Host memory table.
On a fault-free network where all configured field units are communicating, the Host will first poll all field units via port 1, then poll all field units via port 2, back to port 1, and so on. As each field unit is successfully polled, the respective Channel Fault bit is set to 0 in the Host’s field unit Status Register. Remember the Host port 1 equals Channel A and the Host port 2 equals Channel B. (See Example 1 in this section.)
If a field unit cannot be reached on a poll, the Host will set the corresponding Channel Fault bit to 1, switch to the other port and attempt to communicate with the same field unit. If communications

Example 1: No faults
The Host is successfully communicating with each field unit and sets the bits for Channel A and B Fault to 0. A value of 0 in Channel A and B Fault indicates successful communication.
Example 2: A field unit is off-line
The Host is successfully communicating with field units 1, 2, 4, and 5 via both ports. Field unit number 3 is without power that causes the field unit 3 network board bypass relays to de-energize. This de-energization of the bypass relays shorts the signal through the network board and isolates field unit 3 from the DDC-100 Network.
Example 3: A break or short in the redundant loop
The Host is successfully communicating with field units 1, 2, and 3 via port 1, and field units 4 and 5 via port 2. When a field unit doesn’t communicate within a predetermined time-out period, the Host sets the corresponding Channel Fault bit to a value of 1. This example indicates a wiring problem between field units 3 and 4. This problem is typically a cable breakage, short, or improp­erly terminated wire.

Example 4: Loss of 1 of 2 Host Ports
The Host is attempting to communicate with the field units via both ports but is unable to reach any field units via port 2. This typically indicates a broken cable connection at port 2 or at the first field unit from port 2, broken or shorted cable between the Host and the first field unit from port 2, improperly terminated wires, or loss of power to the RS-232/485 converter if attached to the Host port 2.

integrator can use to write a unique user-interface for polling and commanding the valve actuator network. All Modbus commands for polling or commanding are implemented in a user-developed software driver.
The advantage of this method of control is that any system integrator familiar with process control, Visual Basic, or C++ can write a unique application. This approach provides the user with flexibility to use the software at many sites without repeatedly purchasing site licenses for Modbus driver software or application packages.
4.4.3 Personal Computer with a Graphical User-Interface
A Graphical User-Interface (GUI) software package can be used to communicate directly with the DDC-100 Network without communicating through a dedicated data concentrator. This control of the network requires a Modbus Driver for the GUI that is compatible with the Modbus function codes supported by a DDC-100 Field Unit. The network communication will follow the polling and command rules established by the individual application.
Most GUI Modbus drivers do not toggle the PC RS-232 serial port RTS/DTR line. The Limitorque Self-Steered RS-232/485 converter will enable communication between the PC and the DDC-100 Network.
Examples of GUIs include, but are not limited to, Wonderware InTouch, PCSoft Wizcon, Intellution FixDMACS, and Genesis Iconics.
Example 6: A field unit is off-line
The Host is successfully communicating with field units 1, 3, 4, and 5. Field unit 2 does not respond, causing the Host to set field unit 2 Channel A Fault to 1. In this example, field unit 2 is without power, causing the field unit 2 network board bypass relays to de-energize. This de-ener­gization of the bypass relays shorts the signal through the network board and isolates the field unit from the DDC-100 Network.
Example 7: A break or short in the network
The Host is successfully communicating with field units 1 and 2 but is not able to communicate with field units 3, 4, and 5, causing the Host to set field unit 3, 4, and 5 Channel A Fault to 1. This typically indicates a broken or shorted cable between field unit 2 and 3, a broken cable connection at field units 2 or 3, improperly terminated wires at field unit 2 or 3, or loss of power to field units 3, 4, and 5.
4.4 Network Control
4.4.1 Ladder Logic Routines
The PLC running a ladder logic program is capable of being an integral part of any valve actuator network. All commands for network polling and valve positioning may be generated by the PLC and sent through a Modbus Master communications port to the valve actuator network. This port is typically located on a PLC component or installed on a PLC-compatible third party Modbus interface module. These modules may contain either one or multiple Modbus ports.
NOTE: This category of off-the-shelf, PC-based software also includes numerous Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Human Machine Interface (HMI), and Hybrid real-time system configuration and development software packages.
Examples of this type of interface include, but are not limited to A-B PLC-5, A-B SLC-500, Square D PLC, Modicon 984, Modicon Quantum, Compact or Micro PLC, Siemens S5 115U, or Simatic TI-545/555.

Hardware for the DDC-100 Network
The Flowserve Limitorque DDC-100 Network uses the RS-485 electrical standard for the network communications medium. Because RS-232 ports are standard on most popular Host devices, Limi­torque offers two RS-232 to RS-485 converters. These converters contain circuits that electrically isolate the Host, improve noise immunity, and protect it from high-level voltage surges that may be induced into the network.
RS-485 is used for the network electrical standard because it is capable of communicating data at high rates over relatively long distances, and may be used in redundant loop or multi-drop network topologies.
5.1 RS-232 to RS-485 Converters
Limitorque has sourced two models of the RS-232 to RS-485 converters. The primary distinction between these models is self or auto-steering vs. steered as detailed in this section. The models can be distinguished by the part numbers on the case of the converter. The specifications for both models are given in Table 5.1. The dimensions of the converter enclosures are given in Figure 5.1 and the cable to connect the converter to a 25-pin serial port is shown in Figure 5.2.

Converter assemblies 22300-759 and 22300-760 include two DB25M to DB9F modem cables. These cables are appropriate for most Host connections. To determine if these cables are compat­ible with your Host RS-232 communication port(s), contact your System Integrator.
The System Integrator will review wiring requirements for the Host RS-232 port(s) with the converter-assembly cables. Should the cables not be compatible with the Host RS-232 port, the cables may be altered, a modifying connector installed, or new cables may be purchased at a local cable supplier.
Individual converter part numbers 61-825-0966-4 and 61-825-1032-4 do not include a serial cable for connection to a Host. It is the responsibility of the System Integrator to obtain the correct serial cable based on the Host RS-232 port connector and Limitorque converter RS-232 port connector.
5.1.1 RS-232/RS-485 Control Line Steered Converter (P/N 61-825-0966-4)
This is the standard converter offered by Flowserve for use with Limitorque networks. This converter provides isolation, surge protection, data rate, and distance capability that is equivalent to the self-steered converter. This converter uses either Host RS-232 port RTS (Request To Send) or DTR (Data Terminal Ready) (DIP switch selectable) signals to steer the RS-485 data direction. This converter also provides a directional steering output for Limitorque’s A/B Switch (P/N EEC-
90001840).
In the converter, the RS-232 data is converted to TTL signals. The signals drive indicating LEDs and inputs of optical couplers that drive the RS-485 converter circuit. The optical couplers isolate the Host hardware from the RS-485 Network. The RS-485 circuit is bi-directional and must be steered

to place it in the transmit or receive mode. This converter requires that the Host serial port driver software must toggle RTS or DTR in order to steer the converter.
There are five LED indicators, one DIP switch, two connectors, and a selector switch to select between 110 and 220 VAC power. The placement of the indicators, switches, and connectors is shown in the photographs of the front and back panels of the converter enclosure in Figure 5.3. All jumpers are located inside the enclosure. The LEDs are labeled with their functions, and the DIP switch, connectors, and jumpers are detailed below:

There is a patented self-steering circuit in this converter that senses the direction of data, processes the data, and retransmits it via the appropriate output port. The data is processed using a noise elimination circuit ensuring that only valid data is retransmitted. Received data is sent to the self­steering circuit for proper port direction control and signal processing. The data bits are checked, recentered, and reclocked before being directed to the proper output port.
Six LED indicators, two connectors, and a selector switch to select between 110 and 220 VAC power are located on the enclosure. The placement of the indicators, connectors, and the switch is shown in the photographs of the front and back panels in Figure 5.4. All jumpers are located inside the enclosure.

5.2 RS-485 Connection Direct to the DDC-100 Field Unit
The RS-232/RS-485 converters that are sourced by Flowserve were specifically designed to comply with the EIA RS-232 and the EIA RS-485 data transmission standards and to protect the DDC-100 Network and the Host device. The successful operation of a large number of installed systems has demonstrated the robustness and reliability of these converters. Flowserve strongly recommends the use of these converters for all DDC-100 applications in which the Host has RS-232 ports avail­able. The use of these converters in most cases will simplify the installation and commissioning of the DDC-100 Network.
If the user wishes to attach a Host device to the DDC-100 Network through other RS-232/RS-485 converters or directly from Host RS-485 ports, the following guidelines must be followed:
1) The Host ports that attach to the DDC-100 Network must adhere to the EIA RS-485 Standard.
The DDC-100 Network only uses the DATA, DATA*, and earth ground terminals. The following additional details are provided for interfacing guidance to the Limitorque DDC-100 Network:
a) The network signal is based on +5 Volts and typical line voltage levels are
0 to 4.5 Volts.
b) Network biasing for the MX-DDC RS-485 data lines:
• terminals 15 and 16 (A1) 570 mV
• terminals 29 and 41 (A2) 280 mV
Network biasing for the UEC-3-DDC RS-485 data lines:
• D-M and D-M* (A1) 208 mV
• D-S and DS* (A2) 208 mV
Bias voltage is measured without the network attached to the field unit RS-485 communi­cations ports.
c) DATA is the most positive voltage and DATA* is the least positive voltage level.
d) When using RS-485 direct (without Limitorque RS-232/RS-485 converter), the user is
responsible for ensuring proper surge protection between the network and the Host device.
e) Each Host port must be resistively terminated with 120 ohms to prevent line
reflections.
Programming
6
Programming the Host to control a DDC-100 Network of Flowserve Limitorque Field Units will require information about the design of the network. Flowserve recommends gathering this infor­mation before starting the program. After the program has been completed, the network should be fully tested before commissioning. The following recommendations are provided as the result of a number of successful installations:
1) Obtain a wiring diagram of the digital inputs and digital outputs to the controlled devices before programming the controller.
2) Develop a tag table for the installation. This table should include the tag name, network address, desired status indication, and command format (bit or register write).
3) If possible, test the program prior to site installation. This will provide a program verification time for debugging.
4) Attach a protocol analyzer to the DDC-100 Network and monitor the timing, message structure, and message issuance to verify the Host code. This will assist in the diagnosis of proper command issuing and sequencing of the Host control algorithm.
Recommendations
f) The DDC-100 Field Units are certified in accordance with IEC 801-5 (EEC-EMC directive
89/336/EEC) to 1.5 kV communication lines.
2) After the Host has finished a transmission that requires a field unit response, the Host transceiver must be turned before the field unit begins transmitting data back to the Host. The field unit can respond in 10 ms.
3) Earth ground should not be routed through sensitive electronic equipment. Connect the network cable shield directly to an effective local, low-impedance earth ground (less than 5 ohms).

6.1 Monitoring Field Unit Status
Network control involves two basic functions—monitoring field unit status and issuing control commands. The following checklist is provided for monitoring the status of the field units:
1) Determine the Host time-out period. Verify that the time-out period is of sufficient duration to allow a field unit response under the worst-case conditions (greater than 200 ms).
2) Limit the number of retries to a maximum of three. This will enable the Host to continue with the polling process without undue delays.
3) Do not allow more than one Master control of the network at any time. A Host with two serial ports should only have one actively in control at any time.
4) The actuator field unit digital input 0 is factory defaulted for local ESD (Emergency Shutdown). For the MX-DDC or UEC-3-DDC, placing 24 VDC or 120 VAC (MX-DDC only) on this input will cause the field unit to send the actuator to the default local ESD position of close. To use this digital input as a generic input, the local ESD setting must be set to Ignore.
5) Field unit register 10, bit 10 will only report network ESD when the field unit network ESD parameter is set to any value but Ignore.
in increased network traffic that increases network scan times. Also, repeating acknowledged commands can cause erratic field unit operation (e.g., stop).
6) Field unit register 9, bit 5 (Valve Jammed) will only be active when the actuator is moving the valve and the torque switch is tripped.
7) In MOV (Motor-Operated Valve) mode, Field unit registers 9, 10, 11 bits are a value of 0 when false. A value of 1 indicates true.
8) In MOV mode, field unit register 12 low-byte bits are a value of 0 when false. A value of 1 indicates true.
9) In MOV mode, field unit register 12 bit 11 is default inverted, by default, to a value of 1 on false and 0 on true. The remaining bits in the high-byte are set, by default, to a value of 0 on false and 1 on true.
6.2 Issuing Control Commands
The following checklist is provided for issuing control commands:
1) The normal polling process should be interrupted to issue any control commands to a field unit on the network. This interruption should take place after the Host receives the response from a previously issued query. Once the field unit control command has been issued and the acknowledge returned, the normal polling process should resume.
2) Prior to issuing commands to an actuator-mounted field unit:
• Verify successful communication. This is accomplished via the normal
polling process.
• Verify actuator is in Remote mode.
• Verify the actuator is capable of movement.
a) Combined Fault bit is not a value of 1.
b) Actuator is not at desired position. (Do not send open command
if actuator is in open position.)
c) Verify that the desired direction of travel does not have a torque
switch fault.
7) The field unit will automatically stop (disengage contactor) when the actuator reaches the full open or close position. There is no requirement for issuing a Stop command when the actuator reaches the open or close limit switch.
8) A Stop command can be used to stop the actuator in mid-travel. When the actuator has stopped in mid-travel (between the open and close limit switches), the field unit register 9 bit 02 (Stopped) will be true (1).
9) There is no requirement to first issue a Stop command when changing directions from open to close or close to open. When the field unit receives the command to change directions, the field unit will first disengage the contactor (stop the actuator), then engage the other contactor.
10) A network Stop command will stop the actuator if the selector switch is in Remote or Local mode. The actuator local Stop pushbutton will stop the actuator if the selector switch is in Remote or Local mode.

3) Prior to issuing commands to an I/O Module-style field unit:
• Verify successful communication. This is accomplished via the normal polling process.
• When using 2 relays to control a single device, always disengage the first relay before engaging the second relay.
4) Commands can be issued with either the Modbus function code 05 or 06. Either command is capable of opening or closing the actuator or engaging or disengaging field unit physical relays 1 - 6. If the actuator is configured for intermediate position control, Modbus function code 06 must be used to move the actuator to the desired position.
5) An actuator configured for intermediate position control (“move-to”) should be issued position commands between 2 and 98% of open. Issue open or close commands for 0 and 100% of open.
6) Commands issued to the field unit should never be repeated if the command acknowledgment is received from the field unit. Commands should be reissued only when the field unit does not acknowledge receipt of the command. Repeated commands sent to the field unit will result
