11.. GENERALITIES
Squirrel-Cage Motor Starting
1
There are numerous applications where soft starting and limited current peak are needed, thereby making direct starting of squirrel-cage motors impossible. Traditionally in such cases other types of starting with reduced stator voltage have been resorted to. The best-known are star-delta starters, autotransformer starters, stator resistance starters or using part winding motors. Any reduced starting voltage imposes a current limitation, thus reducing the starting torque, but there will always be peaks during the change from one point or state to another which can damage the machine being driven. Note that in general, all reduced voltage starts reduce torque in squared proportion to the current in the phases of the motor (not on the line) and the latter in turn is reduced in linear proportion to the voltage. From this it can be deduced that any start with reduced voltage reduces the torque in squared proportion to the voltage per motor phase. From this point of view soft starting produces just like any other reduced voltage start, a reduction in starting torque, according to the adjusted parameters. The advantage is the ease with which this ramp can be controlled to produce a soft start in accordance with the actual requirement of the machine.
Advantages of the ASTAT-BP Solid State Soft Starters
1
Increase in productivity and reliability with the use of static soft starters
Starting and stopping the motor without steps or transitions lengthens the life of power-driven machine mechanical elements, greatly reducing stress on transmission and coupling parts. Consequently, overhauling times are reduced and machine and facility lifespans are lengthened.
Improvement in acceleration / deceleration characteristics
Being able to start by using the voltage ramp or alternatively by limiting current lets acceleration fit the load characteristics. Application of a pulse start may also be selected in cases of high static friction load. Stopping may be made by cutting-off power or by soft stop ramp.
Internal bypass
In order to reduce heat dissipation and power loss and for better wiring simplicity, an internal bypass device is incorporated in the ASTAT-BP. Bypass is closed after ramping up and opens upon stop or soft stop commands.
Protected motor
The soft starter protects the motor from overloads as well as from incorrect operating conditions such as loss of an input or output phase, blocked rotor, thyristor short circuit, etc.
Digital technology
The control system is based on the use of a highly specialized microcontroller by which signals are treated digitally, thereby avoiding deratings and adjustments common to analogue circuits and obtaining excellent precision and speed of execution. The control board is made with the technology of surface mounting devices (SMD), which increases equipment reliability.
High level of immunity
Design of the unit was closely tied to the conditions of supply lines, which handle more disturbances every day. The control signals are opto-electronically isolated and various levels of protection have been set up in the circuits to immunize the equipment against external disturbance and its effects.
Easy to run and adjust
This unit can be used for a wide range of applications. Adjustments are very easy to make and diverse options maybe selected for have equipment capabilities suited to application needs every time.
Easy maintenance due to full monitoring
The alphanumeric display and the LEDs on its front overlay makes the equipment working conditions known at any time.
Pump control
The ASTAT-BP includes several soft stop curves which is more effective than the standard soft stop, reducing fluid surges or hammering in a pipe line system. This method reduces the motor speed, by controlling internal parameters in the motor as well as the output voltage in a close-loop system.
Advanced functions
The ASTAT-BP includes advanced functions, like linear acceleration ramp, forward and reverse jog, programmable I/O or connection to a control system via Modbus protocol included as standard and other optional protocols. These functions allow the incorporation of the soft starter to a distributed control net, in automated plant processes, together with other soft starters,programmable controllers, variable speed drives, etc.

The relay is energized upon the START signal.
The relay is de-energized when one of the following occurs: Fault,
Control Supply outage or STOP signal.
When SOFT STOP is operated - the relay is de-energized at the end of the SOFT STOP process.
The Immediate Relay (RUN relay) can be used for the following purposes: Release a brake of a motor, Interlock with other systems, Signalling, Delay the opening of a line contactor at the end of SOFT STOP, thus allowing current to decrease to zero before opening the contactor or to switch to / from DUAL settings with a time delay from the START signal (see Special Starting section 6.2.3.1 page 54).
The relay incorporates ON and OFF delays of 0-60 sec. each.
When set as: EOR Relay (End Of Ramp relay):
Changes its position at the end of ramp, after an adjustable time delay (Contact Delay), 0 – 60 sec.
The contact returns to its original position when Soft Stop or Stop signals, on Fault condition, or upon voltage outage.
The EOR (End Of Ramp) contact can be used for: Activating a valve after compressor has reached full speed or loading a conveyor after motor reached full speed.

The motor’s torque is directly proportional to the square
of the voltage.
This adjustment also determines the inrush current and
mechanical shock. A setting that is too high may cause high
initial mechanical shock and high inrush current. This can occur
even if Current Limit is set low because the Starting
Voltage setting overrides the Current Limit setting.
A setting that is too low may result in prolonged time until the
motor starts to turn. In general, this setting should ensure that
the motor starts turning immediately after start signal.
Note:
When Starting Voltage is set its maximum value, this
displays changes to Starting Current.
When Starting Current is set the ASTAT-BP causes
current ramp instead of voltage ramp.

A setting that is too low may prevent the motor from completing

stalling.

It is recommended to set the Ramp UP Time to the minimum
acceptable value (approx. 5 sec).
Notes:
Since Current Limit overrides Ramp UP Time, when
Current Limit is set low, the starting time will be longer
than the Ramp UP Time setting.
When the motor reaches full speed before voltage reaches
nominal, Ramp UP Time setting is overridden, causing voltage
to quickly ramp-up to nominal.
Using Soft Start Curve 1, 2, 3 prevents quick
ramp up.

Soft Start Parameters
The ASTAT-BP incorporates five starting curves to enable you to select a suitable torque curve.
Soft Start Curve 0 – Standard curve (Default). This curve is the most suitable curve for preventing prolonged starting and motor overheating.
Note:
When ASTAT-BP is connected in DELTA Conf., the ASTAT-BP will always use Curve 0 regardless of the curve defined.
31 GE Industrial Solutions ©2013 GE Company All Rights Reserved
ASTAT BP User Manual
Soft Start Curves 1-3 - Pump Control - Induction motors produce peak torque of up to 3 times the rated torque towards the end of starting process. In some pump applications, this peak may cause a pressure surge in the pipes. Soft Start Curves 1, 2, 3 – During acceleration before reaching peak torque, the Pump Control Program automatically controls the voltage ramp-up, thus, reducing peak torque.
Choice of four pump control acceleration curves: 0!, 1!, 2!, 3!
Soft Start Curve 4 (Torque) – Torque Controlled acceleration - This provides a smooth time­controlled torque ramp for the motor and the pump.
Note: Always start with Soft Start Curve 0. If towards the end of ramp, peak torque is too high (pressure is too high) proceed to Soft Start Curve 1, 2, 3 or 4 in that order.

ASTAT BP User Manual
It may happen that during the deceleration process when voltage decreases the motor torque abruptly falls below load torque (instead of smoothly decreasing speed to zero), thus closing the valve and causing water hammer.
Soft Stop Curves 1, 2 and 3 eliminate the water hammer phenomenon. In pump applications the load torque decreases in square relation to the speed, thus correcting control of voltage to reduce torque adequately and to smooth deceleration to a stop.
Note:
It is recommended that Soft Stop Curve 0 be used for all standard applications (not pumps). To reduce water hammer, select Soft Stop Curve 1, then 2, then 3 in that order.
Soft Stop Curve 4 - Torque Curve - Provides linear deceleration of the torque. In certain loads, linear torque deceleration can result in close to linear speed deceleration, thus eliminating stall conditions.
Note:
Always use Soft Stop Curve 0. If the motor stalls quickly instead of slowly decreasing its speed, select Soft Stop Curve 1, 2, 3 or 4 in that order until the problem is solved.

2. Only cancel Phase Loss protection when the operator is sure that no real phase loss exists and Phase Loss protection is activated. This situation can occur in rare cases when there is no real fault but the ASTAT-BP recognizes unusual behaviour like when THDV (Total Harmonic Distortion in Voltage) in the network is high.

Phase Loss protection trips the ASTAT-BP when 1 or 2 phases are missing.
Notes:
If ASTAT-BP trips on Phase Loss do the following: (4) In cases where the current transformers are
connected externally (QBx0210-QBx1100 models), verify that that the current transformers are not grounded. Each current transformer is connected with its 2 wires only and these wires are not grounded externally.
(5) If previous action does not solve the problem and
the you are sure that no real phase loss exists, you can set Phase Loss protection to Disable. This situation can occur in rare cases when there is no real fault but the ASTAT-BP recognizes unusual behaviour like when Total Harmonic Distortion in Voltage (THDV) in the network is high.
(6) If this is a true case of Phase Loss then after
setting Phase Loss protection to Disable the motor will single phase and most likely be tripped by the over load protection mechanism.
(7) Phase loss might not be detected in motor
operating under a light load.

Heat dissipation from the ASTAT-BP is calculated as:
Ploss=3x1.3xI+FAN loss
where: I represents motor starting current. Note that the motor current during the start process is higher than the motor rated current.
FAN loss represents power loss caused by all internal fans (refer to section 3 page 11 for fan loss per model). For example, during start of a 820A motor when Current Limit is set to 400%, heat dissipation can be calculated as:
Ploss=3x1.3x4x820+50=12,792Watt12.8kW
While a 820A motor is running (bypass is closed) and the motor current is 820A, heat dissipation can be calculated as:
Ploss=3x1.3x0+100+50=3,198Watt3.2kW
Important Note: If the motor is started frequently, the cabinet should be designed for greater heat dissipation. You can reduce the enclosure heating by adding ventilation.

default values (curve 0, 10 sec., 400% and 30% respectively).
Start the pump while watching the pressure gauge as the pump starts and look for overshooting (“pressure
surge”) of the gauge needle above the target pressure. In case of over pressure, choose a peak torque reduction curve (Soft Start Curve 1!!).
Set Soft Start Curve 1!!, increase Ramp UP Time to 15 seconds and reduce Current Limit to
350%. Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge while the pump starts.
In most cases overshooting is reduced. If the overshoot persists, increase Ramp UP Time to 25 seconds
(confirm with the motor manufacturer) and try again.
If overpressure persists, increase the Soft Start Curve setting to 2!! or 3!! if necessary. Each
increase in the Soft Start Curve setting will reduce the peak torque, thus reducing the overpressure and preventing “pressure surge” during start.

(“water hammer”) of the gauge (abruptly stops the pump and the motor).
Select Soft Stop Curve 1!! and increase Ramp DOWN Time to 15 seconds. Stop the pump and watch
the pressure gauge and the rate of closing of the check valve as the pump stops. Abrupt stopping of the pump and motor will cause a loud audible noise emitted from the check valve.
In most cases, “water hammer” is reduced. If “water hammer” persists, increase the time to 25 seconds
(confirm with motor manufacturer) and try again.
If “water hammer” persists, increase the Soft Stop Curve setting to 2!! or 3!!. Each increase in the
Soft Stop Curve will reduce the abrupt stop of the pump, thus preventing the “water hammer”
phenomenon.
66..22..44..3
End Torque During Soft-Stopping a Pump Motor
While decelerating, the check valve may close before Ramp DOWN Time has elapsed, thus allowing current to flow through stator winding causing unnecessary heat. Select End Torque sensitivity to 1 and stop the pump, then confirm that the current stopped flowing through the motor shortly after the check valve closed. If current still flows more than 3-5 seconds after check valve closure, increase End Torque (up to a maximum value of 10) to stop current flow earlier.

In cases where the current transformers are connected externally (ASTAT-BP 210-1100A models), verify that that the current transformers are not grounded. Each current transformer is connected with its 2 wires only and these wires are not grounded externally. If previous action does not solve the problem and you are sure that no real phase loss exists, you can set Phase Loss protection to Disable. This situation can occur in rare cases when there is no real fault but the ASTAT­BP recognizes unusual behaviour like when Total Harmonic Distortion in Voltage (THDV) in the network is high. If this is a true case of Phase Loss then after setting Phase Loss protection to Disable the motor will single phase and most likely be tripped by the over load protection mechanism. Phase loss might not be detected in motor operating under a light load.

Beware!
When starting from a diesel generator make sure that its size is suitable.
WARNING
ASTAT-BP must be grounded at all times. When testing the ASTAT-BP control/communication it is possible to use the control module only without the power section (QBx0210-QBx1100 models). The control module MUST be properly grounded to avoid danger of electrical shock!!
88..44 D.Set: Generator Parameters Wiring
Based on experience, the power (kW) of a diesel generator should usually exceed at least 1.8 times the power (kW) of the motor in order to enable consistent motor starts, consult the factory if necessary. However this should be checked on a case by case basis.
When starting from a diesel generator, its voltage regulator (especially older type regulators) may be
affected during the starting process, thus causing rapid voltage fluctuations (~350V to ~500V in 400V systems). In these rare cases, the voltage regulator must be upgraded – consult your diesel generator supplier.
When operating from mains and alternatively from a diesel generator, set normal starting characteristics
for mains and suitable parameters for the diesel generator in the DUAL Settings Parameters settings. When starting from mains, the primary settings (suitable for main starting) will be operative. Upon starting from a diesel generator, close the contact between the Control Supply and aux. input terminal C1 to operate in D.Set: Generator Parameters mode.

88..77 Inside Delta Configuration
8.7.1 General Information
When the ASTAT-BP is installed Inside Delta, the individual phases of the ASTAT-BP are connected in series with the individual motor windings (6 conductor connections as with the star-delta starter). The ASTAT-BP must only
conduct about 58 % (=1\÷3) of the rated motor current. This allows the use of a significantly smaller ASTAT-BP. Note that although when connected Inside Delta the current is reduced by 1.73 (3), you should choose an ASTAT-BP as if current is reduced only by 1.5. (1/1.5=0.667=67%)
For example: For a motor with a rated current of 870A motor, a 960A starter will be selected to operate In-Line. For Inside Delta ASTAT-BP, we calculate (870 x 67% = 580A) and select a 590A starter.
8.7.2 Notes on Inside Delta Connection
Inside Delta requires 6-wires to the motor. Wrong motor connection might cause serious damage to the motor windings. When installing the ASTAT-BP Inside Delta it is highly recommended to use a contactor in series to the ASTAT­BP or upstream (after motor protection) in order to avoid a damage to the motor if the ASTAT-BP short circuits. The sinusoidal shape of the current might be imperfect. As a result, higher harmonic content is incurred (THD), which may be twice the THD value as in the standard In-Line connection. Motor heat may increase (due to the higher THD). Phase sequence to the input of the ASTAT-BP (1L1, 3L2 & 5L3 terminals) must be correct. Otherwise, Phase Sequence fault will trip the ASTAT-BP immediately. Higher torque can not be obtained. The following factory preset features and functions are not active when Inside Delta mode is configured: Kickstart Soft Start Curve selection (Soft Start Curve 0 !! only). Slow Speed TRQ. (slow speed) Phase Sequence in OFF mode
Note :
For a high starting torque process, it is recommended to use the ASTAT-BP in the In Line connection.

8.7.5 ASTAT-BP Connected Inside Delta - Reverse Speed
IMPORTANT! If speed reversing is required, L1, L2 and L3 on the input of the ASTAT-BP can not be switched! This is because Phase Sequence Disabled can not be implemented when ASTAT-BP is connected Inside Delta. Thus, in order to reverse motor rotation two motor windings need to be switched as shown in the following diagram: (Winding V1-V2 is switched with winding U1-U2):

APPENDIX A - MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL
A.1. Introduction
This document summarizes the serial link protocol to / from the DIGITAL SOFT STARTER(ASTAT-BP).
Features:
RS485 Hardware.
Asynchronous serial link.
Half duplex.
Format: Modbus RTU Mode (Remote Terminal Unit Mode).
o Binary o Each character contains 11 bits:
- One start bit
-8 data bits, least significant bit sent first.
- 1 Parity bit. Even / Odd / No can be selected.
- 1 Stop bit if Parity is used, 2 stop bits if Parity is not used.
o Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC), 16 bits.
Baud Rates: 1200 / 2400 / 4800 / 9600 bits per second.
Response time of the ASTAT-BP:
o Normally, 4ms <= time response <= 40mS. o For a long response, time response <= 200mS.
It is not recommended to transmit to the ASTAT-BP at a rate higher than once per second because this can
slow down ASTAT-BP response times.
After storing parameter settings, there is a 1 sec. time period during which transmission to the same ASTAT-
BP is forbidden.
Broadcast commands: not supported.
Notes: * It is recommended that you connect 120 OHM resistors to both ends of the serial link. * You must turn OFF (and ON again) power to the controller after changing Baud_Rate, Parity_Check or
Serial_Link_No (Slave Address). These parameters can only be modified manually and not through the Serial Link.
Ignoring this instruction may result in permanent damage to the Serial Link Hardware and might result in death or serious injury.

ASTAT BP User Manual
A.2. Basic Structure of the Serial Link Frame
The Modbus RTU frame has the same principal structure for both the "Query" transmission from the Master to the Slave (ASTAT-BP) and the Response transmission from the Slave to the Master:
"sync": Silent Interval for at least 3.5 character times
38
byte 1: Serial Link No. (= Slave Address) (1..247) byte 2: Function (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,15 &16 are supported) byte 3: Data Bytes ($XX) . . ($XX) . . ($XX) byte n-1: CRC_Low ($XX) byte n: CRC_High ($XX) "sync": Silent Interval for at least 3.5 characters
A.3. SYNC (Silent Interval)
In RTU mode, messages use a "Silent Interval" more than 3.5 characters to "synchronize". This silent interval separates transmission frames. The entire frame must be transmitted as a continuous stream. A silent interval of more than 3.5 characters during frame transmission will cause the receiving device to ignore the incomplete frame. The next byte is assumed to be the Serial Link No. of the next frame. Ignoring the frame can also occur if a second message is transmitted less than 3.5 characters from the end of the previous frame. This causes the receiving device to consider that frame to be a continuation of the first frame, thus resulting in a CRC error.
A.4. Serial Link No. (Slave Address)
This contains the ASTAT-BP Slave Number (1..247) on the serial link. The ASTAT-BP default value is 248, which is the communication OFF condition. Serial Link No. is used as the first byte in both the "Query" transmission from Master to Slave and in Response transmission from Slave to Master.
Note: Address 0, which is normally used for broadcast transmissions is not supported by the ASTAT-BP.
A.5. Function
The Function code informs the ASTAT-BP what action is requested. In most cases, Function is used as the second byte in both the "Query" transmission from Master to Slave and in Response transmission from Slave to Master.
38
When a parity bit is used each character is 11 bits. Therefore the silent interval is 3.5 * 11 / baud rate.

DATA
Data field includes information transferred to and from the ASTAT-BP. The specific data format is changed with Function. When Word data parameters are transmitted, High Byte is transmitted first, followed by the Low Byte.
CRC
The CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) two bytes (16 bit) are used to check the bytes of the entire frame. It is generated in the master device and transmitted as the last two bytes of the frame (Low byte is appended first, followed by the High byte). The slave device regenerates the CRC bytes and compares it to the CRC bytes received. If the CRC bytes are not identical, the frame is flushed and no response is transmitted to the master.
ASTAT-BP MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The ASTAT-BP memory is organized according to the common Modbus addresses as follows:
ASTAT-BP Use Memory Type Max Query/Response Parameters
Actual Data 3X References Registers, # 1...128, addressed 0..127.
4X References Registers, #257...384 addressed. 256...383 Setting Parameters 4X References Registers, # 1...109, addressed 0...108 Hardwired Control Inputs 1X References 16 Inputs, # 1..16, addressed 0..15. Discrete Serial Commands 0X References 16 Coils, # 1..16, addressed 0..15. Control Commands 4X References 1 Register, # 753, addressed 752.
Notes:
1. Actual Data parameters can be read both at 3X references starting at parameter #1, or (same parameters) at 4X references starting at parameter #257 (100 hex higher). The additional mapping in 4X references is designed for the convenience of Modbus Plus users.
2. ASTAT-BP can be controlled using the standard discrete commands (Coils, 0x references) or by writing to parameter setting #753 with function 16. The additional control option using 4X references is designed for the convenience of Modbus Plus users. To control, write to register #753 (address 752) only! (one register write, with function 16).
3. Function 3 should be used to read 4X references. Function 4, to read 3x references.

2. When the Preset Single Register Function (06) is used to adjust one parameter setting, the
communication program checks that the parameter value is within the allowed limits. If not, an Exception Response (Exception code 03) is returned instead of Normal response. See Exception Responses later in this document.
3. If Preset Multiple Register Function (16) is used to adjust one or multiple parameter settings, then even
if one or more parameter settings are out of range, Normal response will be returned. ASTAT-BP program will check later the value of each parameter. If it is beyond the allowed limit, the limit value will be stored instead of the transmitted parameter value.

4. It is strongly recommended to preset parameter settings only when the motor is stopped. The ASTAT-BP
enables, however to preset one parameter (using function 06 only) when the motor is running at full voltage. When motor is Soft Started, Soft Stopped, runs with energy saving or at slow speed, the ASTAT­BP ignores "Preset Single Register" or "Force Multiple Register" instructions. A "busy" Exception response is returned by ASTAT-BP whenever its logic condition does not enable presetting.
5. Always wait more than 0.5 sec after using Functions 06 or 16 to preset parameter(s) before
transmitting again to the same ASTAT-BP.
6. Communication parameters 81...87 can only be read through the serial link. They can only be set
(written) manually.
7. It is the user’s responsibility to read and check all changed parameter settings after presetting.
Example 2:
To Read Stop Parameter settings 41-43 addressed as 40-42 (Soft Stop Curve, Ramp Down Time and End Torque) of ASTAT-BP # 96.

To write multiple parameter settings (Undervoltage_FLT = 300V, Undervoltage_DLY = 10Sec, Overvoltage_FLT = 480V, Overvoltage DLY = 2Sec) to Parameter settings # 10-13(Addressed as 9-12) of ASTAT-BP # 128, the host computer sends the following frame: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($80) byte 2: Function ($10) byte 3: Starting Address High ($00) byte 4: Starting Address Low ($09) byte 5: No. of Registers High ($00) byte 6: No. of Registers Low ($04) byte 7: Byte Count ($08) byte 8: Data High ($01) (300) byte 9: Data Low ($2C) byte 10: Data High ($00) (10) byte 11: Data Low ($10) byte 12: Data High ($01) (480) byte 13: Data Low ($E0) byte 14: Data High ($00) (2) byte 15: Data Low ($02) byte 16: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 17: CRC_High ($XX)
The ASTAT-BP Normal response: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($80) byte 2: Function ($10) byte 3: Starting Address High ($00) byte 4: Starting Address Low ($09) byte 5: No. of Registers High ($00) byte 6: No. of Registers Low ($04) byte 7: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 8: CRC_High ($XX)
Note:
A Normal response will be returned even if the preset data value is beyond the allowed range for one or more parameter settings. Later the ASTAT-BP program will check the value of each parameter. If it exceeds the allowed limit, the limit value will be stored instead the transmitted parameter value. It is the user’s responsibility to read and check all parameter settings after presetting.
A.9. Control Register Write (4X Reference)
The ASTAT-BP incorporates one Control register intended for controlling the ASTAT-BP. Address: The Control register is register # 753 addressed as 752 (40752). In order to control the ASTAT-BP uses the Control register:
* Use Function 16 only. * Use Address_High (page) = 2 * Use Address_Low = 240 (0F0H). * Write to one register only. * Use data_high (ms-byte of data) = 5AH. * Data_low Bits resolution of the control register (ls-byte of data):

Notes:
1. The Read function of the control register is not possible. To read the ASTAT-BP status, read the Logic_Status (Actual parameter # 1).
2. Bytes 2..8 of the control frame must be exactly as in the following example. Otherwise an error message is returned.
3. Hardwired Stop and Soft Stop inputs override the communication. To enable motor starting through communication, terminals 4 and 5 (Stop & Soft stop) must be connected to the control voltage.
Example 5 - Control Register Write:
To start ASTAT-BP # 11, the host computer sends the following Query frame: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($0B) byte 2: Function ($10) Bytes 2..8 must be as in this example!!! byte 3: Starting Address High ($02) byte 4: Starting Address Low ($F0) byte 5: No. of Registers High ($00) byte 6: No. of Registers Low ($01) byte 7: Byte Count ($02) byte 8: Data High ($5A) byte 9: Data Low ($04) Bit 2 is set, to start. byte 10: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 11: CRC_High ($XX)
The ASTAT-BP Normal response: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($0B) byte 2: Function ($10) byte 3: Starting Address High ($02) byte 4: Starting Address Low ($F0) byte 5: No. of Registers High ($00) byte 6: No. of Registers Low ($01) byte 7: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 8: CRC_High ($XX)
A.10. Discrete Commands (Coils, 0x References)
The ASTAT-BP incorporates 16 "Coils", (bit parameters), of which only 5 are operative. The other 10 are reserved and were incorporated to enable the user to use word (16 bits) type parameters. Coil # is 1"1 based". The actual address is 1 lower than coil #. For example coil #1 is addressed as 0 (00000). The coils have the following 0x references:
Coil # Coil Address Use in ASTAT-BP Comment
1 0 Stop Write "1" (ON) to stop. 2 1 Soft Stop Write "1" (ON) to Soft Stop 3 2 Start Write "1" (ON) to start 4 3 Energy Save Write "1" (ON) to turn On. Write "0" (OFF) to turn Off. 5 4 Dual Adjust Write "1" (ON) to turn On. Write "0" (OFF) to turn Off. 6 5 Slow Speed Write "1" for Slow Speed. Write "0" for Normal Start. 7 6 Slow Spd Reverse Write "1: for Reverse Direction. Write "0" for Forward Direction 8 7 Reset Write "1" (ON) to Reset.

Example 6 - Read Coils:
To read coils 1..8 status of ASTAT-BP # 10, the host computer sends the following Query frame: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($0A) byte 2: Function ($01) byte 3: Starting Address High ($00) byte 4: Starting Address Low ($00) byte 5: No. of Coils High ($00) byte 6: No. of Coils Low ($08) byte 7: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 8: CRC_High ($XX)

Example 7 - Force Single Coil:
To stop the motor controlled by ASTAT-BP # 1, the host computer writes "1" to the "STOP COIL" (coil 1 addressed as 0) . Note: For the Force Single Coil Function, Force Data of $0000 forces "0" = OFF. Force data of $FF00 forces "1" = ON. The "Query" frame is sent by the host: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($01) byte 2: Function ($05) byte 3: Coil Address High ($00) byte 4: Coils address Low ($00) byte 5: Force Data High ($FF) (force ON) byte 6: Force Data Low ($00) byte 7: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 8: CRC_High ($XX)
The Normal (if no exception) response: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($01) byte 2: Function ($05) byte 3: Coil Address High ($00) byte 4: Coils address Low ($01) byte 5: Force Data High ($FF) byte 6: Force Data Low ($00) byte 7: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 8: CRC_High ($XX)
Notes:
1. Format is identical for the 3 "discrete" commands: Stop, S.Stop, Start & Reset. For these commands,
writing "OFF" to coil is meaningless. For example, when the ASTAT-BP is in the Stop condition, Coil #1 (Addressed as 0) = 1 (ON). Forcing the Stop Coil #1 to OFF does nothing. However, forcing the Start Coil (#3) to ON will turn ON the Start Coil, but will also turn Off the Stop Coil.
2. For Energy Save, Dual Adjust, Slow Speed & Slow Speed Reverse Coils, writing "ON" will turn the option
ON, while writing "OFF" will turn it OFF .

A.12. Diagnostics
Modbus Function 08 as implemented in the ASTAT-BP supports only Subfunction $0000. It provides for the "loopback" (Return Query Data) feature, and for checking the Communication Serial Link between the master and the ASTAT-BP. To request ASTAT-BP # 1 to return Query data, the master should send following Query frame: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($01) byte 2: Function ($08) byte 3: Subfunction High ($00) byte 4: Subfunction Low ($00) byte 5: Data High ($37) byte 6: Data Low ($A5) byte 7: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 8: CRC_High ($XX)

ASTAT BP User Manual
A.13. Exception Responses
When the master sends a query frame to an ASTAT-BP, one of the following four responses from the ASTAT-BP is possible:
1. When no communication error is detected in the query, and no mistake is found by the communication program module in the ASTAT-BP, a Normal response is returned.
2. If the ASTAT-BP does not receive the query frame (for example because of a disconnected serial link cable) then no response is returned by the ASTAT-BP. After proper time the master will cause a timeout condition.
3. If the ASTAT-BP receives the query, but faulty CRC bytes and / or Parity bits are detected, no response is returned by the ASTAT-BP. After the proper time the master will cause a timeout condition.
4. If no communication error is detected in the query, but the ASTAT-BP communication program module finds an error such as an illegal function, data address or data value, or if the ASTAT-BP is busy, then an Exception response is returned. The Exception response includes the Exception Code to inform the master about the type of the error.
Exception Code Response Frame:
The Exception response frame holds fix number of 5 bytes. The first one, the Slave Address field, is the Serial link number (transmitted in query and identical to ASTAT-BP Serial Link No.). The second byte, the Function field, returns the echo of the transmitted query function but with the Most Significant Bit set to 1 (adding $80 to the transmitted function code). The third byte is the Exception Code informing about the type of error. The last two bytes are the CRC bytes.
Exception Codes supported by the ASTAT-BP: Exception Code Type Comment
01 Illegal Function Requested Function is not supported. Functions 1..6, 8, 15 or 16 are supported. 02 Illegal Data Address Data address is not allowable. 03 Illegal Data Value Data Value is not in allowable range. 06 ASTAT-BP Busy ASTAT-BP is busy now. The master retransmits the
message later.
Example 10:
The master is trying to force coil # 17 of ASTAT-BP 32. The ASTAT-BP incorporates only 16 coils. The Illegal Data Address Exception code will be returned:
Query: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($20) (32) byte 2: Function ($05) byte 3: Coil Address High ($00) byte 4: Coils address Low ($11) (17, Non existent Coil) byte 5: Force Data High ($00) ($0000 = "0" = Low) byte 6: Force Data Low ($00) byte 7: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 8: CRC_High ($XX)
Exception response: byte 1: Serial Link No. ($20) byte 2: Function ($85) (Original + $80) byte 3: Exception Code ($02) (Illegal Data Address) byte 4: CRC_Low ($XX) byte 5: CRC_High ($XX)

APPENDIX B - PROFIBUS
B.1. Operation Mode in PROFIBUS:
ASTAT-BP supports both DPV0 and DPV1.
DPV0 (Cyclic) allows:
o Start and shutdown. o Read parameters (write parameters are not allowed via DPV0).
DPV1 allows:
o Everything that DPV0 allows o Change the cyclic parameters that display via DPV0. o Write to registers.
B.1.1. Structure of the ASTAT-BP Receiving Frame
The first byte must be 0x5A (90 decimal) The second byte is as follows:
3 Energy Save
4 Dual Adjust Write
5 Slow Speed
6
Note:
Bit number 0 is the LSB.
Example:
To send Reset, you first need to send 0x5A followed by 0x80.
B.1.2. Structure of the ASTAT-BP Transmitting Frame
The return frame contains 20 pairs of bytes (40 bytes total), representing the contents of 20 registers. Each pair of bytes represents one register; all of the registers are 16 bit numbers. The first byte represents the high value of the number (the MSB).
B.1.2.1.
Selection of the DPV0 Registers through Data Request (DPV1)
By writing to Slot number 1 and Index 2, you can change the register that appears in DPV0. Remember that for each register there are 16 bits (two bytes/one word). The first byte represents the high value of the register number. To demonstrate this, let’s say that we want to see the following registers in DPV0 (cyclic):

Step 1: Find the register numbers In this document, we will use a simple PROFIBUS master tool to demonstrate how to change parameters. This tool is very simple and it allows you to modify the parameters only by writing the hex numbers.
Go to the table in section B.4 and find the register number for each register. The tool used in our example requires the hexadecimal value so we also need to convert the register number into its hex equivalent. The following table shows the register numbers for the registers used in our example.
Step 2: Update the register numbers Write the following to slot number 1 and index number 2 using Data Request (DPV1).
B.1.3. Read and Write from Random Registers via Data Request
Reading or writing by Data Request (DPV1) allows you to read or write up to 20 registers in a single request.
In order to read or write via Data Request (DPV1) you need to perform 2 operations:
First update the first register number that we want to read or write.
Second read or write the register.
Configure the first register number by writing to slot number 2 and index number 2. The length of the register number must always contain two bytes (word). If we want to read from register number 5 we need to read from register number 0x0005. The first byte is the high part of the number (the MSB).
To read or write multiple registers, we need to define the number of the words that we want to read or write.
