Chapter 1 Introduction

The Hand-held Monitor (HHM) is a convenient operator interface device that can be used to set up and monitor a Genius I/O and communications system.

The HHM features:

An LCD display with four lines of 16 characters each.

Selectable display language: English, German, French, or Italian.

A 20-key sealed-membrane keypad.

A keyswitch that can be used to restrict operator access to certain functions, as selected for the application.

Operation from its battery pack, or by 115 volt AC or 230 volt AC power .

The Hand-held Monitor screen is the operator’s window to the Genius bus and all of its devices. It can be used to display:

I/O data for any device on the bus.

Diagnostics.

Bus scan time.

Descriptions of all devices on the bus.

Global Data addresses.

Memory data from CPUs on the bus.

The Hand-held Monitor can also be used for device configuration, fault clearing, and forcing I/O circuits and dual bus selection. It can also be set up to prevent the use of any of these capabilities.

A k ey feature of the Hand-held Monitor is its ability to communicate with I/O blocks and to force discrete and analog I/O, whether or not there is a PLC or computer connected to the bus. This greatly simplifies system check-out prior to full-scale system operation.

Chapter 2 Har dwar e Setup

Power for the Hand-held Monitor

The Hand-held Monitor can be operated using its built-in battery, or connected to either 115 volt or 230 volt AC power. A battery pack must always be installed to operate the HHM,

even when using AC power.

A n optional 230VAC Power A dapter can be used to connect the Hand-held Monitor Charger to variety of 230 VA C power outlets. See page 2-2 for more information.

Charging the Battery Pack for AC Operation

To operate the HHM using AC power , if the battery pack is new or has become fully discharged by operating the HHM on battery power, it must be charged for at least 20 minutes. If it is necessary to restore temporary operation before charging is complete:

Plug the adapter cable into the HHM.

Wait 15 seconds and power up the HHM. It may be necessary to remove the battery pack for 15 seconds, then reinstall it.

GFK-0121E

Note that continuall y usi ng the Hand-held Monitor in AC mode for an extended period of time causes the battery pack to deteriorate. A fter up to two years of AC operation of the HHM, the battery pack may not be able to accept enough charge to operate the HHM independently. However, it can still be used for AC operation.

Selecting 120 VAC or 230 VAC

Before plugging the adapter into AC power to operate or charge the Hand-held Monitor, be sure the switch at the base of the adapter is correctly set to match the incoming power (120 volts AC or 230 volts A C).

Battery Operation

The HHM’s battery pack provides up to 6 hours of operation. To maximize battery life, allow the battery to discharge fully between charges. The battery should be allowed to fully discharge once a month.

Low Battery Power

Low battery power may cause this message:

**LOW BATTERY** **HHM HALTED** Please Recharge

Or the display may blank, or two black lines may appear briefly. Low battery power suspends the current operation.

Charging the Battery Pack

When you receive a new Hand-held Monitor, its battery pack is not charged. Before using a new battery pack to power the HHM for the first time, charge it by plugging the adapter into a power source for 24 hours. After this initial charging, subsequent rechanges will require only 16 hours.

Maintaining spare battery packs will allow the HHM to operate using one battery pack while another is being charged.

If the battery pack won’t take a charge, it usually indicates a faulty battery pack, not a faulty Hand-held Monitor. Try another batter y pack. Replacement (uncharged) batter y packs are available.

If a battery pack is left uncharged for a long time, it may be necessary to remove the battery pack from the HHM and charge it while removed for up to 15 minutes.

GFK-0121E

Replacing the Battery Pack

To replace the battery pack, use a Phillips screwdriver (size 0 or 1) to release the retaining screw at the bottom of the HHM. Slide the battery pack out, insert another, and tighten the screw.

Automatic Shutoff

To conserve power, the Hand-held Monitor automatically shuts off 10 minutes after the last key is pressed. For applications where continual operation is preferred, the automatic shutoff feature can be disabled. See page 3-5 for more information.

Permanent Installation

If the Hand-held Monitor is to be installed using the metal bracket provided, follow the instructions below. Do not install the HHM yet if it will be used to configure I/O blocks.

The mounting bracket provid ed can be used to install the Hand-held Monitor behind a panel. You will need to make a cutout in the panel for the HHM (see next page).

You will also need to install a connector for the Hand-held Monitor within reach of the HHM’s cable. The extra D-shell connector provided with the Hand-held Monitor requires a panel cutout, with the bus cable and Hand-held Monitor located on the opposite sides of the panel (see page 2-8).

An optional panel-mountable or DIN rail-mountable connector is also available. It does not require a cutout. See page 2-9 for details.

Configuring a Permanently-installed HHM

Ordinarily, a Hand-held Monitor installed on a panel serves as an operator station. Its configuration may be different from that of a portable HHM.

Its Device Number must be changed from 0 to some other number .

Automatic shutoff may be disabled.

I/O block configuration and other features may also be disabled.

After the HHM is configured, its keyswitch should be placed in MON position, and the key removed.

Installing the D -Shell HHM Connector

Follow the instructions below if you are installing the supplied D-shell connector on the bus.

1. Using the mounting plate as a template, cut an opening in the panel for the mating connector. Also drill two holes for the mounting hardware.

2. Attach the mounting plate and mating connector to the panel using the mounting hardware supplied.

3. Secure the two ends* of the serial bus cable to the back of the panel using strain relief brackets.

4. Strip the ends of the wires. Twist the two Serial 1 wires together and attach them to pin 5 of the connector. Twist the Serial 2 wires together and attach them to pin 9. Similarly, attach the Shield wire(s)* to pin 4.

The following illustration shows connections for incoming and outgoing serial bus cable. As with other devices, the HHM connector may be at either end of its bus. If it is, there will only be one bus cable attached.

When making bus connections, the maximum exposed length of bare wires should be two inches. For added protection, each shield drain wire should be insulated with spaghetti tubing to prevent the Shield In and Shield Out wires from touching each other.

* If the HHM connector is at either end of its bus, it is necessary to install an

appropriate terminating resistor across the Serial 1 and Serial 2 wires. The Genius I/O System and Communications User’s Manual lists appropriate terminating resistors for each recommended bus cable type.

Online or Offline Configuration

Devices can be configured before or after installation on a properly-terminated serial bus. If a new device is to be added to an existing bus running at a baud rate other than 153.6 Kbaud standard, the device must first be configured offline. Be careful adding new devices to existing systems. Be sure the baud rate configured for the new device matches that of the system - never mix baud rates on a bus.

Online Configuration

When configuring a device on an operating bus, the Hand-held Monitor must be the ONLY HHM plugged into a device on the bus. If devices are configured online, the HHM automatically check for PLC reference address conflicts.

Offline Configuration

It may be most convenient to configure devices off-line at a central location. Each device will need to be connected to an appropriate source of power and to earth ground. To prepare a device for off-line configuration:

1. Connect a 75 ohm resistor across the Serial 1 and Serial 2 terminals, or use the 75 ohm terminator plug (IC660BLM508).

Warnings

If the device is not properly grounded, hazardous voltages may exist. Death or injury may result.

DO NOT TOUCH the connectors or wiring after powering up the device. Hazardous voltages exist, and death or injury may result.

Starting Configuration

Note: To assign a serial bus address, the Hand-held Monitor must be directly attached to the device being configured. Additional features can be configured with the Hand-held Monitor connected at any point on the bus. In that case, the device being configured must be selected as the active device (on the Block/Bus Status screen).

1. Begin with the Hand-held Monitor turned off. Attach the HHM to the device (see below) or to another bus connection point.

If there are ? symbols on the screen, the reference address and/or Device Number have not yet been configured. If there are * symbols on the screen, a reference address was previously assigned, but is out of range for the host CPU currently set up for the HHM. If this happens, check the host CPU setup in the HHM Utilities.

When the HHM is set up for a PCIM/QBIM/GENI host, references are not used. Instead, the second line describes the device:

Configuration Notes

The Remote I/O Scanner User’s Manual explains remote drop configuration in detail. You should use it as a reference during remote drop configuration.

Also, look over the information below. Especially, note that it is not always possible or desirable to use a HHM for remote drop configuration.

If the remote drop includes any Analog Expander Modules, Logicmaster 90 must be used for configuration; do not use a HHM.

When a remote drop is configured with a HHM, all I/O modules will operate in default mode; module options can only be configured with

the Logicmaster 90-70 software.

Unless the Remote I/O Scanner is configuration protected, pressing F3 (send) from the Remote Map configuration screen causes the HHM to automatically configure the remote drop. This configuration will REPLACE any existing I/O configuration (including one entered using Logicmaster 90-70), and return I/O module options to their original defaults.

Remote drops configured with Logicmaster 90-70 are automatically protected. Please check carefully before removing configuration protection with a Hand-held Monitor.

The Hand-held Monitor automatically creates a configuration for a nine-slot rack, regardless of the actual rack size. If the remote drop has a five-slot rack, the HHM will later assume that there are unfilled slots. If this is a problem, Logicmaster 90-70 can be used for configuration, or to edit an automatic configuration done with a Hand-held Monitor. Then, the configuration can be stored to the Remote I/O Scanner.

Configuring the Remote Drop

To configure the remote drop with the HHM:

1. Enter a starting address and length for: %I (discrete inputs), %Q (discrete outputs), %AI (analog inputs), %AQ (analog outputs) on the screen shown at left. The data lengths must not add up to more than 128 bytes of inputs and 128 bytes or outputs. If they do, an error message will appear when you attempt to send the data to the Remote I/O Scanner.

2. Next, press F2 (drop) and enter a Remote Drop ID (between 16 and 254).

PROG REMOTE MAP DROP ID _____________

tgl drp send nxt

3. Press the F3 (send) key to download these selections to the Remote I/O Scanner.

Note: Do not perform this step if you want to preserve a configuration entered using the Logicmaster software.

The HHM configures the I/O references of Series 90-70 I/O modules (only) in the remote drop. It assigns references in ascending order, starting with the slot next to the Remote I/O Scanner. The leftmost module of each type (%I, %Q, %AI, or %AQ) in the rack receives the first available reference of the appropriate type.

4. Press F4 (nxt) to go to the Program Block ID screen.

5. After completing these screens, press F2 (Configure Block) to complete the Genius configuration screens, or to display information about the I/O modules in the remote drop.

2. Press F1 (Next) or F2 (Previous), to reach the device’s description screen.

3. When the desired device appears, press F3 (Ac tive) to make it the active device. (On a dual bus, the HHM must be on the same bus as the active block. If it is not, either move the HHM or force the bus selection as described on page 5-3).

4. Press D MENU twice to return to the Main Menu.

Configuring Block Features

Select F3 (Configuration), then F2 (Config Block). For Genius blocks, the HHM shows the first configuration display. For example:

PULSE TEST REFS (block references) ENABLED

tgl entr nxt

The HHM shows the feature to be configured (in the example above, it is the Pulse Test option). It also shows the current status of that feature.

When the Hand-held Monitor is set up for a PLC host, line 2 shows the references assigned to the device being configured. If there are ? symbols on the screen, the device’s reference address has not yet been configured. If there are * symbols on the screen, a reference address was previously assigned, but it is out of range for the host CPU currently set up for the Hand-held Monitor. If this happens, check the host CPU setup in the HHM Utilities.

When the HHM is set up for a PCIM/QBIM/GENI host, line 2 shows the device type and Device Number (serial bus address) instead.

Because there are so many different device configuration screens, it is not possible to show

them all here. You should refer to the User ’s Manual for the device you are configuring for

descriptions of its configuration screens and detailed instructions for completing them.

Configuration Instructions

1. To advance through the HHM configuration displays making changes as needed, use the F4 (Nxt)key. You can pass through feature displays without making entries.

2. To change a feature, use the TGL and CHNG keys to select choices or enter other values. On screens used to enter individual I/O circuit options, use the F1 ( > ) key to choose a circuit, then select the option using the TGL or CHNG key. On some displays, you can enter new values from the keypad.

3. Press the F3 (Enter) key to save each change.

Copying a Configuration

If there are similar devices on an operating bus, you can use the Copy Configuration feature to copy the configuration from one to the another. Both of the devices must have a Device Number already configured, and they must be operating at the same baud rate. The device to be copied TO must not be Configuration Protected.

The device to be copied FROM must be the active device (move the HHM to that block or select it from the Block/Bus Status screen).

1. To begin, press F3 (Copy Configuration) from the Configuration menu. The HHM shows:

COPY CONFIG FROM: n TO:

chng entr

2. The Device Number of the active device appears next to the word FROM. Enter the Device Number of the device being copied TO. Press F3 (Enter).

3. Press the F4 (Execute) key. The configuration is copied.

BIU/Field Processor

REFS *_ * fldpr 2O v1.OACT NO FORCE nxt prv actv bus

Line 1 shows the I/O references used by the device. If * symbols appear instead of references, the device’s references are incorrect for the type of host CPU curren t ly set up f o r t he HHM. F o r e xamp le, if a device is assigned to Series Six registers, and the HHM is set up for a Series 90 host, the HHM will display * sy m b o ls instead of references .

Line 1 also provides information about the device currently being displayed:

= Input block

= Output block

= Block with both inputs and outputs

= Analog, RTD or Thermocouple block

= PowerTRAC block or Remote I/O Scanner

Line 2 identifies the device and shows its serial bus address (also called its Device Number or block number), and its revision level.

Line 3 shows whether the device presently has any forces or faults. If the device is a Field Control BIU or Field Processor, however, the presence of faults is not indicated on this screen.

Selecting Another Device

Press F1 (Next) or F2 (Previous) as needed to display information about other device.

Note: Poor bus conditions may cause the HHM to skip (not display) a device that is present on the bus. Try moving the HHM to a different connector on the bus. Occasionally, this problem is caused by certain older Genius blocks that do not communicate with the HHM properly. If the problem persists, such blocks can be upgraded.

Selecting the Active Device

Initially, the active device is the one to which the HHM is connected.

You can display information about other devices without making them “active”.

However, for many functions the HHM must be attached to another device or the other device must be made “active” by following the steps below.

1. F rom the Analyze menu, select F3 (Block/Bus Status).

2. Press F1 (Next) or F2 (Previous), to reach the device’s description screen.

3. When the device’s screen appears, press F3 (Active) to make it the active device. (On a dual bus, the HHM must be on the same bus as the active block. If it is not, either move the HHM or force the bus selection)

4. Press D MENU to return to the Analyze menu.

Block/Bus Status Display for a Bus Controller

If the active device is a bus controller, the Block/Bus Status display shows information appropriate to that bus c o n t roller ty p e. For exam ple:

S E R I E S 6 B U S A D R : (device #)(vers) R E G (registers) n x t p r v r / g b u s

The first line identifies the bus controller type. If it is a Series Five bus controller, PCIM, or QBIM, the first line indicates:

G E N I

The second line of the display shows the bus controller’s Device Number followed by its firmware revision level.

Reading a Global Data Address

The third line of a bus controller’s Block/Bus Status screen shows its assigned Global Data address.

If no Global Data address appears, it means that either:

The bus controller has no Global Data address.

A Seri es 90-70 bus controller has a Global Data address in % I, %Q , %AI, %AQ, or %R me mo r y, and no optional Series Six register address was configured for the bus controller.

If a Global Data address has been set up, you can use the F3 (R/G) key to toggle between (R)egister and (G)lobal memory format. If no Global Data reference has been set up, the F3 key is not assigned.

Monitoring the Bus Status

To display the number of devices currently operating on the bus, and the curren t bus scan time, select F4 (Bus) from the Block/Bus Status displ ay.

SERIAL BUS STATS ACTV DEVICES= 7

Monitor Block screens for other types of Genius blocks are described below .

Block References

On all the Monitor Block screens for a Genius blocks, line 1 shows the block references. If * symbols appear instead, the references are out of range for the CPU host currently setup for the Hand-held Monitor. For example, if a block is assigned to Series Six registers, and the HHM is set up for a Series 90 host, the HHM displays *symbols instead of references.

If the HHM is set up for PCIM mode, references are not used; a device description appears instead.

Monitor Block Display for Discrete I/O and I nput Blocks

For a discrete block, the Monitor Block display shows the I/O type and current state of each circuit. This is an example display for an 8-circuit grouped I/O block:

For a High-speed Counter block, the Monitor Block function displays a sequence of screens with the following information:

1. The states of the block’s four Preset Outputs.

2. The states of the block’s Control Inputs.

3. The current values of the block’s internal data storage registers: Accumulator, Counts per Timebase, and Strobe.

The exact appearance and sequence of screens depends upon whether the block has been set up for four-counter (Type A), two-counter (T ype B), or one-counter (Type C) operation. The letter a, b, or c on the top line of the screen shows how the block is set up.

Preset Outputs

First, the Preset Outputs are displayed:

Monitor Block Display for a PowerTRAC Block

If the active device is a P owerTRAC block, the HHM’s Monitor Block function displays the following screens:

One screen showing the states of all of the block’s Status Inputs.

Individual screens showing the block’s current calculated data values. In the Monitor Block function, these values are NOT labelled. It is easier to display this information using the Monitor/Control Reference function (F2), because those displays are labelled.

One screen showing the states of all of the block’s Control Outputs.

On each of these screens, you can press F1 ( > ) to display next screen, or press F2 (ref) and enter a reference location to display a specific screen. For a sequential list of the P owerTRAC block data, see page 5-11.

Status Inputs

The Monitor Block function first displays the P owerTRAC block’s Status Inputs:

R E F (inputreferences) I 123456789O123456 OOO11OOOOOO1OOOO > ref

Line 2 indicates each of the 16 possible bit locations for status data. Lin e3 shows the current states of all inputs.

Bits 1 – 3 indicate the status of table data transfer,

for datagram communications.

Bit 4 = 1 indicates the block has captured an over-

current event.

Bit 5 should always be 1, indicating that the block’s

phase-lock loop is synchronized with the incoming AC voltage.

Bit 12 = 1 means the overcurrent event indicated

by bit 4 occurred on phase A.

Bit 13 = 1 means the overcurrent event indicated

by bit 4 occurred on phase B.

Bit 14 = 1 means the overcurrent event indicated

by bit 4 occurred on phase C.

Bit 15 = 1 means the overcurrent event indicated

by bit 4 occurred on the auxiliary current line.

Bit 16 = 1 indicates an internal calculation has re-

sulted in an out-of-range value. The block should be reconfigured to prevent this.

Calculated Data

After the Status Inputs, the HHM displays the block’s calculated data. If the P owerTRAC Block is version 2.3 or later, this includes the additional “low-priority I/O” data listed on page 5-11.

Monitoring and Controlling Individual Circuits on a Genius Block

Select F3 (Monitor/Control Reference) from the Analyze menu to:

Display the present state or value of any circuit on the active block.

Display the diagnostics status of any circuit.

Force and unforce individual circuits.

Force a bus switch on a dual bus.

Clear individual circuit faults.

Making the Block Active

The block whose circuits wil l be monitored or controlled must first be made “active” by following the steps below.

1. F rom the Analyze menu, select F3 (Block/Bus Status).

2. Press F1 (Next) or F2 (Previous), to reach the device’s description screen.

Basic Monitor/Control Display Format

Each Monitor/Control Reference screen provides information about one circuit, channel, or data value. For example:

M N T R 4 4 1 – 4 6 4 A I 2 : – 1 9 3 7 N O F A U L T S > f o r c e r e l e s

Line 1 shows the references used by that circuit. If these are out of range for the host CPU set up for the Hand-held Monitor, line 1 instead shows:

M N T R (circuit number) + * A

For example, the first circuit on the block appears as: 1 + *

If the HHM is set up for PCIM mode, references are not used; a block description appears instead.

4. Press D MENU to return to the Analyze menu.

From the Analyze menu, press F2.

Monitor/Control Reference Display for a Discrete, Relay, or High-speed Counter Block

For a discrete, Relay, or High-speed Counter block, the Monitor/Control Reference screen looks like this:

M N T R / C N T L (reference) I S T A T E : N O F A U L T S > o n o f f r e l e s

Line 1 identifies the circuit currently being monitored. Pressing F1 ( > ) displays other circuits.

Line 2 shows the state of the circuit. In the example above, the circuit is OFF and not forced (no underline). Status is obtained directly from the block for both inputs and outputs. If the circuit is an output and no–load sensing is enabled it reflects the current flow out of the I/O block to the load, as well as voltage at the field terminals; otherwise, it indicates only the voltage at the field terminals (output from the switch).

Diagnostics

Line 3 of the Monitor/Control Reference screen shows whether the circuit has any faults. If it does, one of the following diagnostic messages appears:

Failed switch: The commanded state of the circuit

does not match the actual state of the switch or load.

Loss of I/O power: One pair of circuits on an dis-

crete isolated block is not receiving power.

No load: The load is drawing less than the block’s

minimum current level.

Open wire: An open wire condition has been de-

tected on a tristate input.

Overload: The output exceeds the block’s steady

state current limit.

Overtemperature: The block’s internal tempera-

ture exceeds 100_C.

Short circuit: Transient current above the block’s

short circuit limit.

Forcing an Input or Output

(The Hand-held Monitor’s circuit forcing capability must be enabled to force or unforce a circuit). To force a circuit on, press F2 (ON). To force it off,press F3 (OFF). The force remains until changed by the HHM (even through loss of block power). To clear a force, press F4 (reles).

Clearing Circuit Faults

After correcting a fault condition, press the CLEAR key to remove the message and restore the reference to normal operation (the Clear Block Faults function must be enabled to use this feature). If the fault condition still exists, the fault message will reappear.

for the circuit. The forced value will remain until you press F4 (reles), or enter a new value.

Diagnostics

Line 3 shows whether the circuit has any faults. If it does, one of these messages appears on line 3:

Feedback error: There is a wiring error or other

hardware fault on a Current-source Analog block. The output’s actual current differs from the commanded current by

more than 250mA.

High alarm/low alarm: An analog input value ex-

ceeds its high or low alarm limit.

Input shorted: An RTD input circuit measurement

is less than expected for the RTD type.

Internal fault: Internal calibration readings for a

pair of RTD circuits are out of tolerance.

Open wire: On an RTD block, the RTD is missing

or faulty, or there is an open wire. On an analog block, an input configured for 4 to 20mA has less than 2mA present.

Overrange/underrange: An analog or RTD circuit

exceeds its maximum value.

Overtemperature: The block’s internal tempera-

ture exceeds 100_C.

Wiring error: There is a faulty connection be-

tween an RTD and the block.

Monitoring/Controlling Remote Drop Data

The HHM can display diagnostics and current I/O states, and force and unforce individual I/O points on I/O modules in a remote drop.

When the active device is a Remote I/O Scanner, the HHM’s Monitor Block and Monitor/Control Reference functions display the same set of screens. This is unlike HHM operation for Genius blocks, where the screens for Monitor Block and Monitor/Control Reference are different.

For the Remote I/O Scanner, the monitoring screens provide the following information:

1. The states of the discrete inputs in the remote drop, in ascending order.

2. The values of the analog inputs in the remote drop, in ascending order.

3. The states of the discrete outputs for the remote drop, in ascending order.

4. The values of the analog outputs for the remote drop, in ascending order.

On each screen, line 3 shows the state or value of one circuit at a time. It also indicates whether the circuit is forced, or has a fault as illustrated below . The first screen that appears is the Monitor screen for the module with the first %I reference.

It shows the Remote Drop ID (143 in this example), the rack number (0),the slot number (2), and the memory type (%I). The number on the righthand side of the second line represents a data word.

Press F2 (chng). Enter the force value, then press F3 (entr). The forced value will appear on line 3.

Displaying and Clearing Remote Drop Faults

To display diagnostics for a circuit, press F4 (diag) from the Monitor screen. If there is a fault, it appears on line 3. For example:

DIAG 3 143#O.3 %I 33 OVERCURRENT mon nxt

If there is no fault on the circuit you are monitoring, the Hand-held Monitor searches the Remote I/O Scanner’s internal fault table to see whether there are any faults on the remote drop. If there are any uncleared faults on the remote drop, the HHM displays the fault that occurred first (the oldest fault). For example:

DIAG 3 143#O.2 %AI 1 UNDERRANGE mon nxt

F R C 1 > r e f f o r c e d i a g

To release the force, press F4 (release) from the force/release screen.

The HHM identifies the location where the fault occurred (on line 2). From this screen, you can display additional faults on the remote drop by pressing F4 (nxt). Faults will appear in the same sequence in which they occurred. For example,if the fourth oldest is being shown, pressing F4 (nxt) displays the fifth oldest, and so on.

To return to the Monitor screen you started from, press F1 (mon).

Clearing Faults

After correcting fault–causing conditions, you can return to the Block/Bus Status menu to clear all fault messages for the remote drop. (The Clear Block Faults function must be enabled to use this feature).

Forcing/Unforcing the Displayed Reference

I/O points can be forced and unforced from the Hand-held Monitor (the HHM’s circuit forcing capability must be enabled to use this function). Forcing an I/O point changes its state in the F ield Processor’s EEPROM memory . If the circuit is an output, the physical state of the output also changes. If the circuit is an input, the forced input data is sent to the CPU. A circuit retains its forced state or value if power is removed. The forced circuit ignores data from an attached input device, or output data from the CPU. The force can ONLY be removed from the Hand-held Monitor.

1. If the display is set to hex (H) or binary (B), change it to decimal (D) by pressing F4.

2. Press the F3 (force) key to force the reference now being displayed.

Pulse T esting Outputs on Discrete Genius Blocks

Pulse Testing verifies the ability of outputs on a discrete block to change state. Pulse Testing also indicates whether output circuits (wires, power sources, loads) will start or stop current flow . Pulse testing is recommended for blocks controlling outputs that seldom change state. It provides assurance that when needed, an output will operate correctly. Blocks that control outputs which frequently change state do not need to use the Pulse Test feature. Pulse Testing does not provide enough energy to activate mechanical devices such as motor starters, relays, or solenoid valves, but it may change the state of a very small load.

Executing a Pulse Test

(To execute a Pulse Test, the Hand-held Monitor’s PULSE TEST capability must be enabled). The block being Pulse Tested must be the active block.

1. From the Analyze menu, press F4 (Pulse Test). The Pulse Test display appears:

P U L S E T E S T R E F S (ckt references) N O F A U L T S e x e c

Clearing Pulse Test Faults

If you press the CLEAR key from the Pulse Test screen, all faults on the block will be cleared.

If you press the Clear key from the Monitor/Control screen (after displaying a specific circuit fault), only that fault will be cleared.

Pulse Test Error Messages

If the Pulse Test cannot be performed or if the block fails to respond, an error message appears. Press the Clear key to remove the message.

E : P U L T S T D I S A B L E

A Pulse Test cannot be performed unless the block’s configuration is changed.

E : I N V L D B L K T Y P E

The block does not support Pulse Tests.

E : I N V L D B L K C O N F I G

The active block is an inputs–only block.

E : P U L S E T E S T F A I L

The HHM has not received an acknowledgement from the block within the predetermined amount of time. Retry the test. If it continues to fail, check the serial bus cable and active block.

For a PLC host, line 2 shows the block’s assigned references and its I/O configuration. Line 3 shows whether the block has any faults.

2. Press F1 (Execute) to pulse all outputs on the block once. If the word FAULTS appears, it means that one or more diagnostic errors have occurred. Go to the Monitor/Control menu to display the specific type of fault that has occurred.

Page 55

Series 90 PLC

For a Series 90-70 PLC, the Hand-held Monitor can read data from %R, %AI, %AQ,%I, %Q, %T, %M, %S, %SA, %SB, %SC, and %G memory.

For a Series 90-70 PLC, the memory location/content screen looks like this example:

D E V I C E M E M O R Y 1 5 % R 1

t g l c h n g e n t r S B A

The top line shows the currently-selected Device Number (15 in the example above). Line 2 shows the memory type currently accessed, and a reference location within that memory type. In this example, the selected location is %R0001.

From this screen, use the HHM function keys to: A. Select a different bus device (press F4 (SBA)). B. Select another memory type (press F1 (tgl)). C. Select another reference location (press

F2(chng), then enter the desired numerical offset).

D. Display the current memory contents of the

specified location (press F3 (entr)).

When F3 (entr) is pressed, the HHM displays the content in either bit or word format, as appropriate for the selected memory type. For example, here word data is displayed, because the selected memory type (%R) is word-based:

D E V I C E M E M O R Y 1 5 % R 1 W O R D 1 3 9 > < l o c

From this screen, you can display the current contents of other locations in the selected memory type:

A. Use the F1 ( > ) key to increment the memory

offset (location).

B. Use the F2 ( < ) key to decrement the memory

offset.

C. Use the F3 (loc) key if you want to enter an off-

Series Six PLC

For a Series Six PLC, the Hand-held Monitor can read data from register memory. That includes I/O data mapped into register memory, (it is easier to display I/O data with the HHM’s Monitor Block or Monitor Control Reference function).

For a Series Six PLC, the Device Memory screen looks like this example:

D E V I C E M E M O R Y 7 M E M : (location)

t g l c h n g e n t r S B A

The top line shows the currently-selected Device Number (7 in the example above). If there is a currently-selected memory location, it appears on the second line of the display as two numbers separated by a colon.

The number on the left will be:

32768 for a Series Six PLC

The number on the right is the actual memory location that will be read.

From this screen, use the Hand-held Monitor function keys to:

A. Select a different device on the bus (press F4

(SBA)).

B. Select another memory type (press F2 (chng)).

See right for instructions.

C. Select another reference location in the dis-

played memory type (press F2(chng)). See right for instructions.

D. Display the current memory contents of the

specified location (press F3 (entr)).

Enter or Change the PLC Type

To enter or change the PLC type:

1. Press F3 (chng). A cursor appears at the left of the colon. For a Series Six PLC, enter the number 32768.

2. Press the F3 (entr) key.

Enter or Change the Memory Location

To enter or change the memory location:

1. On the same screen, press F1 ( > ) to move the cursor to the right of the colon.

2. Press F2 (chng).

3. Enter a number equal to the actual register number plus 16383. For example, for register#100, you would enter (16383 + 100), which is 16483:

M E M : 3 2 7 6 8 : 1 6 4 8 3

Expanded I/O Data

Expanded I/O data is mapped into registers and can be accessed as described above. I/O data from channel 0, or the main I/O chain in an expanded I/O system can be displayed using the integer result of the following formula:

((point number – 1) / 8) + table offset

The table offset is either 8192 for the output table or 8320 for the input table. Example: to display input 672, you would enter: ((672 – 1) / 8) +8320, which is 8403.

Series Five PLC

For a Series Five PLC, the Hand-held Monitor can read data from register memory. That includes I/O data mapped into register memory, (it is easier to display I/O data with the HHM’s Monitor Block or Monitor Control Reference function).

For a Series F ive PLC, the Device Memory screen looks like this example:

D E V I C E M E M O R Y 7 M E M : (location)

t g l c h n g e n t r S B A

The number on the left will be: 133 for a Series Five PLC The number on the right is the actual memory

location that will be read. From this screen, use the Hand-held Monitor

function keys to: A. Select a different device on the bus (press F4

(SBA)).

B. Select another memory type (press F2 (chng)).

See right for instructions.

C. Select another reference location in the dis-

played memory type (press F2(chng)). See right for instructions.

D. Display the current memory contents of the

specified location (press F3 (entr)).

Enter or Change the PLC Type

To enter or change the PLC type:

1. Press F3 (chng). A cursor appears at the left of the colon. For a Series Six PLC, enter the number 32768.

2. Press the F3 (entr) key.

Enter or Change the Memory Location

To enter or change the memory location:

1. On the same screen, press F1 ( > ) to move the cursor to the right of the colon.

2. Press F2 (chng).

3. Enter the byte offset of the data. This is equal to (2 x register #) – 2. For example, for register#100, you would enter (2 x 100) – 2, which is 198.

I/O Data

Series Five I/O data can be displayed using the integer result of this formula:

(point number) / 8 + table offset

The table offsets for Series Five I/O are:

channel 1 inputs 32768 channel 2 inputs 32896 channel 1 outputs 33024 channel 2 outputs 33152

Example: to display channel 2 output 12, you would enter:12/8 + 33152, which is 33153:

M E M : 1 3 3 : 3 3 1 5 3

Press F3 (ENTR) to save the memory location. To display the memory content of this location, press F3 (ENTR) again.

D E V I C E M E M O R Y 7 M E M : 1 : 6 5 5 2 4 W O R D 1 2 3 4 5 v a l a d d r

You can display either one byte or one word of data. You can also select either decimal display:

W O R D 1 2 3 4 5 B Y T E 3

or binary display:

4 4 1 4 4 1 1 1 4 4 4 4 4 4 1 1

4 4 4 4 4 4 1 1

To change the data format:

1. Press F2 (VAL).

2. Use the function keys to select the format you want.

Changing the Selected Address

To change the address being monitored, press F3 (ADDR). The HHM shows:

D E V I C E M E M O R Y 7 M E M : (location) W O R D (value) > < l o c

To Display Information from Another Device: press F3 (Location). The function key assignments change. Now press F4 (SBA). Select the new Device Number then press F3 (ENTR).

To Increment or Decrement the Memory Address: use the F1 ( > ) and F2 ( < ) keys.

To Enter a New Address: press F3 (LOC). Line 4displays new function key assignments. Key in the memory location as explained previously.

3. Press the D MENU key to return to the pre- vious screen, where the value will be displayed.

Chapter 7Error Messages

This chapter explains error messages that may be displayed on the Hand-held Monitor.

Powerup Error Messages

If an error occurs during the Hand-held Monitor’s self-test, this multi-language error display may appear:

P W R U P E R R O R # 1 E R R E U R # 1 E I G T E S T : F E H L # 1 E R R O R E I N I Z # 1

Cycle power to the Hand-held Monitor and try again. If the message returns, look for its error number in the list at right.

#2 The HHM has a faulty EPROM. Obtain a

replacement or an HHM upgrade kit.

#4 The HHM may have been assigned a De-

vice Number already used on the bus. Press the ON/OFF key, then disconnect the HHM from the device it is attached to. Press the ON/OFF key again. Following the instructions on page 3-4, assign the HHM a different Device Number.

At 38.4 Kbaud, unterminated HHM cable may cause this message. Remove the HHM cable or check that HHM is connected to a properly-terminated bus.

This error may occur if the Hand-held Monitor is connected to a bus and an incorrect baud rate is selected.

#5 This number indicates an internal fault, or

excessive noise on the bus, or that the bus is operating at a different baud rate from the HHM. Press the ON/OFF key then disconnect the HHM cable from the bus the HHM. Press the ON/OFF key again. If the message reappears, replace the HHM.

This error may occur if the Hand-held Monitor is connected to a bus and an incorrect baud rate is selected.

and

Configuration Error Messages

The following messages may appear while configuring a bus device. They usually indicate an incorrect selection.

E : C O N F I G P R O T E C T

The device’s configuration is protected, its features cannot be changed. To configure the block, disable Configuration Protection.

E : N O T O N B L O C K

To configure the Device Number, connect the HHM directly to that device.

E : D U P B L O C K N O

The Device Number has already been assigned. This message only appears if the device is connected to a operating bus. Another number must be assigned to one of the devices in conflict.

E : D U P L I / O R E F S

The PLC Reference Number conflicts with or overlaps one already assigned to another device on the bus. Assign a different reference to one of the devices in conflict.

E : O U T O F R A N G E

The Reference Number is too high.

E : N O T B Y T E B N D R Y

If you are using the HHM to configure or force a block, clear the message and go to Block/Bus Status menu. Press the Clear key. If the block’s Unit OK LED continues to blink, power down the block and replace the Terminal Assembly, configuring the replacement to match the original.

D I F F E R E N T B A U D

The HHM and block have been set for different baud rates: one is set for 153.6Kbaud standard and the other is set for 153.6 Kbaud extended (the HHM will not communicate with the bus if any baud rate conflict exists). All devices on the bus must be set to the same baud rate.
