QUANTUM™ IDENTIFICATION

Controls has over the years, strived to remain on

the cutting edge of microprocessor technology and development. Because of the ever-increasing speed, memory, features, and power of microprocessors, Frick

Controls will continue to introduce the latest advancement in microprocessor control technology.

Our microprocessor family has shared the name Quantum™, over the past five years. There are currently four controllers within this family. The first two of these controllers (known as Quantum™ 1 and Quantum™ 2) are no longer in production, and as such, will not be further mentioned in this manual. The two current members in production of the Quantum™ family are the Quantum™ 3, and the Quantum™ 4. It is critical to the end user to be able to identify the differences between these controllers. Refer to the section in this manual entitled Quantum™ 3

Main Board History and Identification and Quantum™ 4 Main Board History and Identification for additional

information as to how to identify the particular Quantum™ controller that you have.

Throughout this manual, the two different controllers will be talked about for the most part as one (as they do function the same). Where there is a difference between these boards, as in jumpers or wiring, the different models will be identified by name. This is why it is important for you to be aware of which Quantum™ board you have.

Quantum™ 3

Quantum™ 4

Setting Up the Quantum™ for

Data communication to and from the Quantum™ can be through a modem, remote data communications terminal, programmable controller, or master computer via either RS-422, RS-232, or RS-485 connections to the Quantum™ Com-2 port. Reference the Main Board Communications section for the correct jumpering of RS422, RS-232, or RS-485. Also, reference the drawing of the Quantum™ Main Board section to identify wiring configurations for Com-2.

Converting an RS-232 Serial Port to RS-422 or

In order to communicate to the Quantum™ controller via RS-422 (or RS-485), you will need to convert the RS-232 signal from the source.

One converter that has proven to be effective is the Opto22 AC7A/B card. This card will allow the conversion from a standard RS-232 signal to either RS-422 or RS-485. The AC7A card is powered from a 115 VAC source, while the AC7B card is powered from a 220 VAC source. They can be used in a standalone panel along with an Allen Bradley SLC 5/04 or along with an external modem. Keeping the jumpers installed the same way they are received from the factory, it is easy to wire for either RS-422 or RS-485.

RS-485

NOTE: Refer to the manual that comes with the AC7A/B

card for specific jumper information (as the configuration shown is only a suggestion that has worked in most applications).

Once jumpers on the converter card have been verified, you will need to verify the jumper settings of the Quantum™ controller. Refer to the following diagrams for the Quantum™ 3 and Quantum™ 4:

COMMUNICATIONS SETUP Page 9

PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION

The use of communication protocols, permits data transmission between devices. Protocol determines how contact is established and how the query (question) and response (answer) takes place. The information in a message command requires an identity of the intended receiver (ID #), what the receiver is to do (read or write to a setpoint, etc.), data needed to perform an action (the value of a setpoint to be changed), and a means of checking for errors (checksum).

When using Com-2 for communication, check what communication protocol, if any has been selected, from

the Panel Setup – Change Communications screen. For example, [A-B Comm] should be selected when using Allen-Bradley’s communication protocol. The baud rate of Com-2 and the panel ID number are also changed from this screen, and should coincide with the setup of the other device.

Note: The data communication protocols are continuously being expanded and improved. Therefore, you should consult Frick

Controls for the exact details on your

particular unit(s) before developing system software to interface with the panel.

Quantum™ Communications Protocols

The Quantum™ controller has the capability of communicating to the outside world through four software protocols:

• Frick

• Allen-Bradley DF-1 serial

• ModBus ASCII serial

• YORK ISN

Note: When using Modbus protocol, a [Comm. 2 Advanced] key will appear. Pressing this key will

allow the user to modify the number of Data and Stop bits, as well as Parity. This only applies to Modbus. Modbus cannot be changed from ASCII to RTU however. Refer to the section on Modbus for further information.

Checklist For Setting Up Communication

0191 Decide which Quantum™ protocol you

can communicate with and want to use.

0191 Setup your device’s communication port

for the Quantum™ protocol and select a baud rate.

Protocols

0191 Next, setup the Quantum™ for the desired

communication protocol. Select the protocol from the Panel Setup – Change Communications screen. For example, [A-B Comm] should be selected when using Allen-Bradley’s communication protocol.

0191 Setup the baud rate of Com-2 to coincide

with the setup of the your device’s communication port.

0191 Enter the Quantum™ ID. This will be used

to identify commands that are sent to it.

0191 Wire to the first panel via RS-232, RS-

422, or RS-485 connections to the Quantum™ Com-2 port.

• If you are communicating to more than one

panel, then you will not be able to use RS-

232. You can however, convert RS-232 to either RS-422 or RS-485 with an adapter card. Reference the Converting an RS-232 Serial Port to RS-422 or RS-485 section for information about an adapter card.

• Reference the drawing of the Quantum™

Main Board in this manual to identify wiring

and jumpering locations for Com-2.

• Reference the Main Board Communications

Com-2 section in this manual for the correct

jumpering of RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.

0191 Send a single command to read data from

this Quantum™ using its ID.

0191 Check if you received a data response at

your device.

0191 Troubleshooting when you don’t receive a

data response:

• Check if Com-2 on the Operating Status

screen is showing ACTIVE or OFF.

• ACTIVE is shown only when the Quantum™

understands it is receiving a properly composed message to itself.

• Check that the RX2 I/O communication

activity lamp on the Quantum™ Main Processor Board is blinking as it receives the instruction from your device.

• A steady lit RX2 LED or one that isn’t

lighting, are signs of improper wiring.

• If the RX2 LED is properly blinking, then

check if the TX2 LED is blinking in response.

• If the TX2 is not blinking then check the

communication protocol setup at the panel, the panel’s ID and the Com-2 baud rate setting.

• If the TX2 is blinking, then check that the

Com-2 communication jumpers are correct.

• If you are sure that the wiring and

Quantum™ setup is correct, then select the

[Show Comms] key from the Service Screen to see what is being received and

transmitted from Com-2.

Note: A useful tool for troubleshooting is Windows HyperTerminal. Using HyperTerminal can help you determine if you are wired OK. Reference the HyperTerminal Setup section in this manual.

0191 If you properly receive data and you need

to communicate to more than one panel, then setup and wire to another panel. Reference the wiring diagram drawings in the back of this manual. Send a single command to read data from this Quantum™ using it’s ID and troubleshoot as above, if necessary. To prevent noise feedback which is possible when communicating over a long distance, only the last panel should have the termination for long communications lines jumpered.

Frick® Protocols

All commands for Frick® protocols must be in ASCII to be recognized (see the Conversion Chart For Decimal / Hexadecimal / ASCII, located later in this manual). The data should be setup as an 8 bit Word with no Parity, and a Stop Bit. The commands can be in upper or lower case letters. A compressor with an ID code of [00] is considered disabled. ID codes from [01] through [99] are valid and recognized by the microprocessor.

The following is a complete list of available Frick® Protocol # commands:

COMMAND CODE and DESCRIPTION

I = Returns compressor status information. R = Compressor start control. S = Compressor stop control. V = Slide Valve/Slide stop control. P = Return Pressures information. A = Return full load amps information. T = Return Temperatures information. Q = Query setpoints data. C = Enter Change setpoints mode. MC = Change compressor mode. MV = Change Slide Valve mode. KF = Clear Failures. KR = Clear remaining recycle delay time. X = Return digital I/O status. F = Return Failures.

All data is returned as integer values. If decimal positions are assumed, then divide the data by the proper multiple of 10 to get the actual value.

Temperature data, except for Suction Temperature, is returned in the current temperature units as 3 characters with no decimal position (i.e. 032 would represent 32 degrees Fahrenheit if the panel temperature units are in Fahrenheit, or it would represent 32 degrees Celsius, if the panel temperature units are in Celsius). Suction Temperature is returned as 4 characters with a + or - as the leading character (i.e. –010 would represent –10 degree).

Pressure data is usually returned in the current pressure units. However, the Filter differential reading is always returned in PSIA. When in PSIG or in PSIA, the pressure data is returned as 3 characters with no decimal position. However; in order to show the full transducer range, the #IDPS command returns 4 characters with one decimal position assumed. The #IDI, and #IDPA commands return 3 characters that assume one decimal position; therefore,

99.9 is the highest value that can be returned. When in PSIG, suction pressure is returned in PSIA. When in Bar and BarA, the pressure data is returned as 4 characters with two decimal positions assumed. When in KpaA, the pressure data is returned as 4 characters with no decimal position.

The following is a detailed description of each command:

Quantum™ $ Protocol Specifications

Quantum™ ($) protocol commands have been added specifically for the Quantum™. Unless otherwise shown, 9 characters are returned from the Quantum™ for a data value. The data value includes two decimal fields and the first character position is either; - if the value is negative, or it is + if the value is positive. For example, if the data’s value is 25.5; then the value +00002550 is sent. All temperatures are in degree C and all pressures are in PSIA. A mode such as Slide Valve mode is returned as an integer value that represents the mode that it is in. For example, a +00000000 is sent if it is in manual, or a +00000100 is sent if it is in automatic, or a +00000200 is sent if it is in remote. The value zero +00000000 is used to represent an OFF status and a DISABLED option. The value one +00000100, which is received as a 1, is used to represent an ON status and an ENABLED option. Setpoints are only changed if the value sent is within the acceptable range. Reference the Frick Control Panel Maintenance publication S90-010 M for the setpoints default settings and ranges. The checksum is the 2 byte hexadecimal sum of each character within the command or returned answer excluding the command type identifier, $. If the command’s checksum is replaced with ??, the Quantum™ returns a response without using checksum error checking on the received command (refer to the Data Packet section for more information). If the Quantum™ detects a checksum error, a N (Not Acknowledged), the Compressor ID code, 02, Carriage return, and Linefeed are returned.

This document will demonstrate how to communicate to the Quantum™ panel using the tables that appear on the following pages.

Data Packet

If you were interested in viewing the information that is displayed on the Operating Status - Page 1 screen (Home screen), you would want to refer to the table entitled RETURN OPERATING STATUS Page 1 data: $01D1 table on the next page.

The quickest and easiest way to demonstrate this protocol is through Hyperterminal (see the section entitled Hyperterminal later in this manual). After setting up Hyperterminal and ensuring that all wiring and jumper configurations are correct, type a $ symbol. This is the character that will alert all of the Quantum™ panels on the communications line that data is on its way. Following the $ symbol, type the ID code of the Quantum™ that you wish to query (for instance 01 for the first Quantum™). After the ID number, type a D1. The protocol code in the Quantum™ recognizes this portion of the data packet as a request for the data that is displayed on the Operating Status - Page 1 screen.

Up to now you have typed the following information: $01D1. The next thing that must be done is to enter a checksum value. You may elect to type in a ?? as a wildcard if you do not have the time to figure the correct checksum, however, the information that is returned may or may not always be reliable. The checksum will ensure reliability.

Quantum™

To arrive at the checksum value for the command you have just typed, you will need to convert each ASCII digit into hexadecimal (do not include the $ symbol). For this example, you will need to take the first digit 0, and referring to the Conversion Chart at the end of this section, look down the ASCII column until you find 0. You will notice that the Hexadecimal equivalent for ASCII 0 is 30 hex. Repeat the process of looking up each digit in the ASCII column, and finding its equivalent in the Hexadecimal column, and write each value down. When all four digits (01D1) have been converted to hexadecimal, you will need to add the four values together. Remember, the values are in hexadecimal format, not decimal. If you are not familiar with hexadecimal math, you may wish to utilize the calculator that comes with Microsoft Windows. Look at the following chart:

ASCII Value of

Data Packaet

Hexadecimal

Equivalent

0 30 1 31 D 44 1 31

Hex Total = D6

The answer that is arrived at from the previous chart is D6. This will become the checksum for the data packet, and is appended to the end of the data that has so far been typed in.

NOTE: For any calculation that results in an answer of more than two digits, use only the right most two digits, and disregard all digits to the left.

The result should look like this:

$01D1D6

Press the [Enter] key. You should see an immediate response. The format of this response should resemble something (but not necessarily exactly) like:

A01+00006166+00008618+00008272+00002974+000154 15+00005314+00008501+00000000+00000000+0000000 0+00000341+00000231-00027249B6

Referring to the RETURN OPERATING STATUS Page 1 data: $01D1 table on the next page, we find that the first line of the response, A01, indicates that an Acknowledgement (A) was received from device 01 (01). This is followed by +00006166 (Suction Pressure). The plus (+) symbol indicates a positive value, followed by

00006166. Since there are two decimal positions assumed, 0006166 equals 61.66 PSIA. Using the +/- symbols as a

delimiter in the above example, each section of 8 digits can be interpreted by comparing it with the Operating Status table. The B6 value at the very end of the response is the checksum value that the Quantum™ returned, not actual data.

QUANTUM™ COMPRESSOR CONTROL PANEL

Page 24 COMMUNICATIONS SETUP

ALLEN-BRADLEY COMMUNICATION

To provide for the reading and writing of data to Quantum™ panels using Allen-Bradley communication, the Quantum™ has an Allen-Bradley DF1 communication driver that recognizes both half-duplex and full duplex SLC 500 protected typed logical read and write commands. This is a Master / Slave multi-drop communication method. The Quantum™ talks Allen-Bradley SLC protocol and is programmed to resemble an Allen-Bradley SLC500 slave station. The customer’s PLC or DCS must be setup to initiate the reading and writing of data to a Quantum™. The Quantum™ does not initiate any communications. The Quantum™ panels ID number is used as its station address and the target node. With the AB PLC, the MSG (Message) instruction is used to send read and write requests. A DCS (Distributed Control System) will use a SLC 500 DF1 protocol driver to send protected typed logical read with 3 address fields and protected typed logical write requests with 3 address fields to a Quantum™. Fifty (50) data elements can be read with one read. The most desired data (information on the Operating Status screen) exists in a fifty (50) element data area. Setpoints are changed by sending a write command to one element. Changing a setpoint causes the Quantum™ to save the new setpoint to Flash memory (non-volatile memory). Be careful not to continuously request a

setpoint change. It is to be expected that communications may slow down during the process of writing setpoints or clearing alarms. Both of these processes involve writing to either EEPROM or Flash Memory and does take some time. If communication requests are being sent faster than once every couple of seconds, there will be temporary slowdowns during these processes. Additionally, keeping the Quantum™

busy writing to Flash memory will interfere with the Quantum™ communicating to it’s I/O Boards. A communication failure to an I/O board will cause the compressor to shutdown. Control commands such as starting the compressor are also sent with a write command. For more detail and a list of the data, reference the Quantum™ Data Table section. For details about the actual protocol, reference the AB publication 1770-6.5.16 DF1 Protocol and Command Set Reference Manual.

Because overrun can occur, the baud rate and commands should be setup to produce the most desired throughput. The master station should have the Stop Bit set to 1, Parity set to none, Duplicate Detect disabled, and Error Detect set for BCC or CRC.

When communication is between either your programming software and a Quantum™ or an Allen-Bradley PLC and a Quantum™ on a multi-drop link, the devices depend on a DF1 Master to give each of them polling permission to transmit in a timely manner. As the number of Quantum™ slaves increase on the link, the time between when each Quantum™ is polled also increases. This increase in time may become larger if you are using low baud rates. As these time periods grow, the timeouts such as the message timeout, poll timeout and reply timeout may need to be changed to avoid loss of communication.

ACK Timeout - The amount of time in 20 milliseconds increments that you want the processor to wait for an

acknowledgment to the message it has sent before the processor retries the message or the message errors out.

Reply Message Wait Time - Define the amount of time in 20 millisecond increments that the master station will wait after receiving an ACK (to a master-initiate message) before polling the remote station for a reply. Choose a time that is, at minimum, equal to the longest time that a remote station needs to format a reply packet. Some remote stations can format reply packets faster than others.

Message Timeout - Defines the amount of time in seconds that the message will wait for a reply. If this time elapses without a reply, the error bit is set, indicating that the instruction timed out. A timeout of 0 seconds means that there is no timer and the message will wait indefinitely for a reply. Valid range 0-255 seconds.

Note: Make sure the Allen-Bradley PLC and the programming software is the most recent software revision. Some revisions have been made that do not allow the SLC Typed Logical Read/Write Message Command.

PLC-5/30 - Suggested Setup

Channel 0 - 25-pin D-shell serial port; supports standard EIA RS-232C and RS-423 and is RS-422A compatible.

NOTE: Channel 0 is optically-coupled (provides high electrical noise immunity) and can be used with most RS-422A equipment as long as:

• Termination resistors are not used

• The distance and transmission rate are reduced

The PLC-5’s switch 2 is used to select RS-232C, RS422A, or RS-423. Channel 0 can be wired for RS-422.

Following is the pin connections showing how to wire the PLC-5 channel 0 connector to the Quantum™ for RS-422 communication:

Important guidelines:

• When channel 0 is configured for RS-422A

compatibility, do not use terminating resistors anywhere on the link.

• When channel 0 is configured for RS-422A

(compatible) and RS-423, do not go beyond 61 m (200 ft). This distance restriction is independent from the transmission rate.
