1 General

Regarding small parts warehouses as well as manual assembly workstations, the
light-controlled picking and assembly reduces the error rate and the searching for
parts and facilitates the training of new employees. However, the limited space is
an unsolvable task for many pick-to-light systems. But with the development of
the “mipick MP”, microSYST has found a solution for exactly this problem.

"mipick MP" stands for easy installation thanks to simplified wiring and a newly
developed software-controlled programming.

The channel height of this display is only 30 mm and the width 80 mm - space
saving and efficient! When mounting “display to display” shelf widths of only 80
mm can be realized with Pick-to-Light!

The display is equipped with two LED indicators (red + multi-colored), a metal
confirmation push button and LED directional arrows. A double-digit 7 segment
LED display with a digit height of 14 mm ensures an excellent readability of the
displayed values. Furthermore, a membrane keypad for possible value correc­tions is available.

The displays communicate via a RS485 interface, the main control system will be
activated via Ethernet and ensures a fast and reliable data transfer.

We are pleased to be able to supply this display also as a complete system with
an individual assembly workplace and a software perfectly tailored to your appli­cation.

3.2.3 Addressing

The address settings can be made either manually via buttons or automatically
with the help of the software “miprog”.

Addressing via buttons
In case that only individual displays have to be programmed (e.g. when replacing
a display) the addressing via buttons is the easiest way. No data connection has
to be available, the pick display has only to be supplied with voltage.

• Please press the enter button and „+“ at the same time.

• Plug in the power supply.

• Please set the required address with the buttons „+“ and „-“.

• Press the enter button.

Addressing via software
This is used for the programming of complete picking systems. All displays on the
RS485 sub bus can be programmed easily.

Regarding systems with Ethernet the addressing will be done via the Ethernet in­terface.
Regarding systems with Profibus the addressing is done via RS485. For this, dis­connect the RS485 bus between distribution unit and the displays and connect it
again with the configuration PC via an USB/RS485 converter.

• Please select the interface and press the button “Verbindung herstel­len/create connection”

• Select the start address of the first pick display and (if you have more dis­plays) the option “automatisch weiter Adressieren” (= continue automati­cally with addressing).

• By pressing the button “Adressierung starten” (= start addressing), the
currently assigned RS485 address will be indicated.

User Manual

• Now, the LEDs of all displays are flashing and the currently assigned ad­dress will be indicated everywhere. Please press this confirmation button
of the display, which shall receive this current address.

• The current address will now be indicated in the software.
Continue until all displays of the bus have been assigned.

You can stop the programming with the button “Adressierung beenden” (= stop
addressing).

5.2 Ethernet Communication

The Ethernet interface of the distribution unit allows communication between a con­troller (for example PC or PLC) and the mipick devices.

“Commands” will be sent from the controller to the interface via Ethernet and will
then be transmitted to the respective mipick devices.

“Status messages” will be sent from the mipick devices to the interface via RS485
and will then be transmitted to the controller via Ethernet.

The Ethernet interface represents the “bus master” at the RS485 level.
Should there be no “commands”, the bus-sharing units (mipick devices) will cycli-

cally be polled (address order 0 to 63, 0 to 63, … or 0 to 127, 0 to 127,…). If an
event occurs (e.g. “button has been pressed”), the bus-sharing unit (mipick devices)
replies accordingly and a related “status message” will be sent via Ethernet.

Should there be a “command” for a certain RS485 address, it will be sent to the bus­sharing unit (mipick devices) instead of the polling telegram. The reply of the mipick
device will be reported via the Ethernet.

Should there be a new added bus-sharing unit or a former existing bus sharing unit
which does not respond (correctly), a special telegram via Ethernet will be sent. The
controller can explicitly request this “bus participant telegram” in order to receive the
current bus status.

For further information on commands and “status messages” please see chapter
“Telegram Structure”.
Their structure is as follows:

5.2.1 Sending commands

The commands are transmitted from the control computer to the Ethernet interface
and from there via an RS485 bus to the respective mipick device.

With each TCP/IP telegram, one or more commands (completely) can be transmit­ted to the Ethernet interface. Every command has the following structure “address”,
“length” and “data”.

Please note that it is not possible to send a new command to a certain address be­fore the last command has been answered or at least approximately 1 second has
passed (in this case, the bus participant has not answered or has not answered cor­rectly.

After a “broadcast command” please wait for the command confirmations (one per
existing bus participant) before sending a new command. A waiting period of 1 sec­ond will be enough.

Note: If more than one command confirmations are pending, they do not necessarily
have to arrive in the same order as the commands have been sent. It can also be
possible to receive an “event message” or “bus participant message”!

Example:

The value “12“ shall appear on display 4:
Send the command via TCP/IP (in HEX format):

04 08 80 20 20 31 32 00 00 00

(address = 4, length = 8 bytes, data = 80 20 20 31 32 00 00 00)

5.2.2 Receiving Status Messages

There are three types of status messages:

1. Command confirmations (= command responses)

2. Event messages (e.g. “button was pressed“)

3. Bus participant messages (“device was removed/added”)

Status messages are sent to the control computer with a TCP/IP telegram. Every
TCP/IP telegram can contain one or more status messages (completely). Every sta­tus message has the following structure “address”, “length” and “data”.

Examples:

a) Command confirmation concerning above mentioned command:

Receiving the command confirmation via TCP/IP (in HEX format):

04 01 80

(address = 4, length = 1, data = 80)

b) Press the button of display 4:

04 03 00 81 0C

c) Release the button of display 4:

04 03 00 80 0C

Important: With regard to above mentioned example only one status message is trans­ferred but should there be more than one status messages they will be transmitted at
the same time.

6.1 Configuration of the Profibus Interface

6.1.1 GSD file

The device database file „micr05D0“, which is part of the delivery is used for the
integration of the Profibus DP interface (DP slave) into the Profibus. This file
contains the necessary identifiers for the configuration of the input/output data
widths (please see next chapter).

6.1.2 Configuration data

Via the configuration the data width of the cyclic data exchange can be set indi­vidually. Therefore, the following identifiers (max. 30) must be selected in any
order.

The DP master transmits the identifier to the DP slave before it starts the cyclic
data exchange.

x 0x10 1 Input Data
x 0x11 2 Input Data

x 0x31 2/2 Input/Output Data (2 bytes each)

: :

x 0x3F 16/16 Input/Output Data (16 bytes each)

The minimum number of input or output bytes is 6 bytes each.
The maximum number of input or output bytes is 200 bytes each, but the length

of 300 bytes (input + output) may not be exceeded.
 Standard configuration: 0x3F, 16 input / output bytes.

6.1.3 User parameter data

The „User_Prm_Data“ is not used by the interface. But nevertheless it will be
checked if the Profibus master transfers any User_Prm_Data. If
User_Prm_Data is transferred, the Profibus initialization will be rejected and the
slave’s parameters must be reconfigured.

Note:
Standard parameters configuration is necessary and is normally added by the
used DP configurators.

6.1.4 Diagnostic data

The interface does not support any extended diagnostic data. Default diagnosis
is used.

6.2 DP Communication

For the DP master the Profibus interface (DP slave) is a standard I/O device. This
means, there are DP output data which are cyclically transmitted to the slave and
DP input data which are cyclically received from the slave.

The structure of the I/O data is as follows:

TBK: Toggle byte for the commands
QBK: Confirmation byte for the commands (= TBK after data transfer)
LBK: Length byte for the commands

TBS: Toggle byte for the status messages
QBS: Confirmation byte for the status messages (= TBS after data transfer)
LBS: Length byte for the status messages

A: Address of the pick displays
L: Length of the data
D: Data (max. 20 bytes)

For more information on commands and status messages please see chapter “Tele­gram structure”.

Information:

After the (re)start of the Profibus DP communication all DP-OUT bytes and all DP-IN
bytes have the value 0.

With the help of the configuration, the number of DP IN bytes and DP OUT bytes
has to be defined in such a way that the longest possible command or the longest
possible status message has enough space. The maximum I/O width may not be
exceeded (please see chapter „configuration data“).

6.2.1 Transmitting commands

Commands are used to define what the displays should indicate or what they should
do. The commands will be transmitted from the DP master to the Profibus interface
(DP slave) and from here via the RS485 bus to the respective displays.

Instructions:

1. Enter the command or also more commands (completely) in the DP OUT “com­mands. Every command consists of “address“, “length“ and “data“.

2. Enter the length of all command bytes into “LBK“.

3. Then, “TBK“ will be increased by one.

4. Now, the DP slave starts to evaluate the commands and transmit them to the
corresponding displays. Once this process is completed, the “QBK“ is set to the
value of the previous changed “TBK“.

5. If there are further commands available please continue with item 1.

Example:

The value “12“shall appear on display 4:

1. Enter the command:

DP OUT(hex) = 00 XX 00 04 08 80 20 20 31 32 00 00 00

2. Set “LBK“: ▼

DP OUT(hex) = 00 XX 0A 04 08 80 20 20 31 32 00 00 00

3. Increase “TBK“: ▼

DP OUT(hex) = 01 XX 0A 04 08 80 20 20 31 32 00 00 00

4. Wait for “QBK“:

DP IN(hex) = 00 XX XX XX ...
DP IN(hex) = 01 XX XX XX ...

6.2.2 Receiving status messages

There are three types of status messages:

1. Command confirmations (= command responses)

2. Event messages (e.g. “button has been pressed“)

3. Bus participants messages (“device has been removed/added“)

This status messages has to be retrieved from the DP master in the shortest possi­ble time, otherwise the RS485 communication with the displays can slow down or
even stop (until the status messages are retrieved)!

Instructions:

1. If the “TBS“changes, there are status messages which must be retrieved.

2. The status messages which must be retrieved are available in the DP IN “status
messages“(completely, in total “LBS“ bytes). Every status message consists of
“address“, “length“and “data“.

3. After the status messages have been retrieved out the DP master must set the
“QBS“to the same value of “TBS“. This should made made as quick as possible
(not to slow down the RS485 communication).

4. Continue with item 1.

Examples:

a) Command confirmations concerning the above mentioned command:

1. “TBS“ has been changed:

DP IN(hex) = XX 00 XX XX XX ...
▼
DP IN(hex) = XX 01 03 04 01 80

2. Read out the status message:

“LBS” = 3
“Address“ = 4
“Length“ = 1
“Data“ = 80H (command confirmation)

3. Set “QBS” to the value of “TBS”:

DP OUT(hex) = XX 01 XX XX XX ...

b) Press the button of display 4:

1. “TBS“ has been changed:

DP IN(hex) = XX 01 XX XX XX ...
DP IN(hex) = XX 02 05 04 03 00 81 0C

2. Read out the status message:

“LBS” = 5
“Address“ = 4
“Length“ = 3
“Data“ = 00H 81H 0CH (event message: button pressed, display value = “12“)

3. Set “QBS” to the value of “TBS”:

DP OUT(hex) = XX 02 XX XX XX ...

Note:

In the above mentioned examples only one status message has been transmitted.
If there are more than one status messages available they are transmitted at the

same time in order to use the available DP IN bytes in the best possible way and to
speed up the communication.

If the DIP switch S3-3 is set to ON every status message will be reported separately
(in order to simplify the evaluation of the DP master).

Notes:

Bytes 6 and 7 (value) of the command determine the real display value of the pick
display. After pressing the confirmation button this value will be reported to the event
message telegram. Also the correction keys “+” and “-“run solely with this value.
Only numbers (30H .. 39H) or space characters (20H) can be used as “value”.

With the bytes 4 and 5 (text) it is possible to display two characters as an additional
text or labeling. The fields “value” and “text” are then displayed alternatively. The cy­cle time can be adjusted with byte 10 (options 3).

If one of the fields “text” or “value” will not be used two space characters (20H) must
be set in the corresponding position in the telegram. Then, there will be no change
between the two fields on the display.
