1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The optional Digital General Function Card (DGF) is mounted on the AV300i drives
for special functions such as winder/unwinder control, positioning, etc. It connects
with the drive regulation card via the connector for an optional card. The connection
with the drive also provides the power supply for the DGF.
The communication between the two cards uses a 2Kbytes dual-port ram (DPRAM).
The 6KCV301DGF card is based on an Intel 80C386EX-25 with a numerical processor
80C387SX-25.
The standard user communication on the card is RS-485 serial link.
It is possible to mount an option module with CAN controller for DeviceNet
communication.
It is also possible to read and write DGF parameters using all the drive communications
[serial link, local keypad and an additional optional communication card (e.g. GENIUS,
INTERBUS-S or PROFIBUS-DP)]. All these communications use the drive
microprocessor and DPRAM.
This manual comprises four chapters:
- Chapter 1 describes the DGF hardware. Its installation and configuration settings
are detailed. Settings for serial communications are explained.
- Chapter 2 details the software architecture of the DGF. It describes the MARTE
operating system, task organization, DGF parameters and variables, the five card
status states, and the DGF alarm conditions. Permissible data formats are described.
Drive keypad programmer operation is also described.
- Chapter 3 describes the HIBS software, which is used to download compiled user
programs to the DGF Card ; it is also used to load .BLK files (explained in chapter
4) to create supervision pages to monitor drive operation.
- Chapter 4 details .BLK file syntax. The .BLK file is an ASCII file which is used
to configure DGF DPRAM (Dual-Ported Random Access Memory) and create
supervision pages.

1.2.2 SERIAL LINE RS-485
The RS-485 interface allows data transfer using a two-wire twisted conductor with
shield. The transfer rate is 9.6 Kbaud. The serial link circuit is the same of the drive.
For download applications programs directly to the RS485 port, use a 6KCV300CTI
and a standard 9 pin m/f cable.A 9-socket female connector allows communication
with an external device in a multidrop configuration. The serial link may be used either
with or without signal isolation. When using signal isolation an external power supply
is necessary for 5V. This is the default configuration. The configuration without signal
isolation is possible only with short connections and with HIBS during the card

configuration. When you use RS-485, the line terminator resistors are connected through
S23 and S24 jumpers and must be ON only on the line end device. The protocol used
is SLINK3, detail provided in separate manuals.

In this configuration you need to join pin 5 with pin 8 and pin 9 with pin 6 of X3
connector. DGF connectors are female connectors.
The configuration without signal isolation is possible only with short connections: for
example, with HIBS during the card configuration. On the drive, you need to use
signal isolation as described below.
Figure 1.2.2.2 shows a single-point connection between a PC or PLC RS-232 interface
and one 6KCV301DGF.
An adapter RS-232/485 is necessary to convert the PC RS-232 COM to an RS-485
signal. A simple two wire twisted cable is necessary to transmit the RS-485 differential
signals TXA/RXA - TXB/RXB.

PWR is on when 5V supply is present; this LED must be always on when the regulation
board of the drive is supplied.
RST led indicates that a hardware reset occurs. This LED is always OFF; the only
operation that puts the LED ON briefly is the power on and off operation
during the firmware download sequence.
OK is always ON during normal operation and indicates that the card is working
normally. If it is OFF during normal operation, this indicates a card malfunction;
this condition forces an alarm on the drive. The LED should be OFF only
during the firmware download sequence.
VPP indicates the presence of the flash eprom programming voltage (12V). This
LED must be ON only during the firmware download sequence or during the
archive operation (save parameters).
PRG indicates the enable of the flash eprom programming voltage generation. This
LED must be ON only during the firmware download sequence or during the
archive operation (save parameters).

2. DGF OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
DGCF is a general purpose, where the final user can load the custom firmware which
carry out the desidered applications.
The DGF option is mounted on the drive with which it communicates through a DUAL
PORT RAM. Therefore it is possible to read drive parameters (including parameters
connected to analog and digital I/O), perform the algorithms, and write the result or
other parameters necessary to realize the desired functions.
The functional blocks also allow the reading of inputs and writing of outputs, physically
present on the optional I/O card and available to the DGF.

2.1.1 Firmware organization
The firmware of the DGF is divided in two parts: a fixed part, factory developed, and
a personalized one which can be developed even by the final user.
The final user has different possibilities to personalize the firmware of the DGF. The
main tools are the developing environment Win+Drive. Users with a programming
knowledge can develop directly with a C or Assembler language.

2.1.2 DGF application
Application code can be obtained these ways:
1 Graphical development tool Win+Drive and design the specific application.
2 Graphical development tool Win+Drive and a factory predeveloped application.
The standard application can be modified with Win+Drive according to the specific
needs.
3 Use a factory developed and tested application and load it on the DGF unmodified.
In this case the Win+Drive can be used.

DPRAM DPRAM is a bi-accessible storage device that allows the DGF
to communicate with the connected drive. Various connection
structures are available, with different exchange capacity and
priority.
I/O OPTIONAL CARD It is possible to add additional cards to expand the
hardware capability of the DGF. The detailed description of
these devices can be found in their specific documentation.
The DGF can be provided with various I/O cards.
DBASE DBASE is a block used for the communication with the external
world. It is a catalog of variables provided by the DGF and
containing different information on the system. For each
variable access modes are specified, for example:
- read-only or read and write
- limits of the variable value
- access level, etc.
All information coming from or directed to the external world
goes through DBASE.
ARCHIVE Archive is a particular storage area where DBASE data are
stored so that the DGF can restart after a supply voltage failure.
2.1.2 Working of the DGF
The software of the card is based on the multi-task real-time operating system called
MARTE.
The structure of the program comprises a nucleus of 5 tasks with the following
characteristics (see Figure 2.1.3.1):
TASK SYN DPRAM This task executes the communications with the drive, for the
parameters at high priority , using the SYN DPRAM structure
of the DPRAM. The connection is executed with the maximum
priority at constant frequency. The event which wakes up the
task is a signal coming from the drive, whose execution is
synchronous with the regulation task of the drive.
TASK PERIOD This task carries out the regulation program developed by the
user. The task is normally carried out as a sub-routine of the
task SYN DPRAM. As a consequence, it inherits the main
characteristics:
- execution at the maximum priority ,
- constant priority
- synchronous with the drive.
In particular applications the task could be carried out in an independent way from the
task SYN DPRAM. In this case the execution of the task is carried out in an
asynchronous, with respect to the drive.
—————— Digital General Function Card ——————
17
GEI-100430
The execution cycle of the above-mentioned two tasks is fixed through a parameter
and can vary from 2 to 20 milliseconds with a tick of 2 milliseconds. The reason the
execution time of these important tasks is variable is that the TASK PERIOD carries
out the program developed by the user, and is dependant on the size of the custom
application program. A later chapter explains how to choose a correct execution time.
T ASK MEDIUM This task executes code with medium importance; in the futu-
re parts of the user-developed program will be allowed to
execute in this task. The execution time is fixed at 50
milliseconds.
T ASK ASYN DPRAM This task in the applications code executes with the drive for
the parameters at low priority, using the structure ASYN
DPRAM of the DPRAM. The connection is carried out
asynchronous from the regulation task of the drive.
T ASK POLLING This task carries out checks of very low importance. The
execution time is fixed at 500 milliseconds. The DGF interacts
with the external environment through two devices:
DRIVE DGFCy Can read and write some parameters of the drive and through
these modify the working of the drive. Moreover, the DGF
has the ability to manage directly the physical I/O of the drive.
For additional information, refer to section 2.1.7.
I/O CARDS If the physical I/O of the drive is insufficient for the application
it is possible to add additional optional cards with specific
functions. Further information is given in their respective
documentation.
The DGF operation can be configured through DGF parameters. The access from the
external world to these parameters is managed by the DBASE. The DBASE is a set of
procedures and data which coordinates and manages the access to DGF parameters.
The DBASE is the interface between the operating system of the DGF and the external
world. The devices which can access the DBASE
of the DGF are the following:
- Serial port RS-485 of the DGF in modality SLINK2, SLINK3 and SLINK4
- Serial port RS-232 of the DGF in modality SLINK2, SLINK3 and SLINK4
- Serial protocol DeviceNet
- Drive keypad from the application card or Opt 2 menu
- Optional communication cards on the drive
- Serial port RS-485 of the drive in modality SLINK3 for DGF
Further information regarding the DBASE is given in section 2.1.6.
