Fill in the dialog box as shown adjusting the Name, Description and Slot options for your application. You must select the Comm Format as Data - INT in the dialog box. Failure to set the Assembly Instance and Size values correctly will result in a module that will not communicate over the backplane of the ControlLogix rack. Click Next to display the following dialog box.
Select the Request Packet Interval value for scanning the I/O on the module. This value represents the minimum frequency that the module will handle scheduled events. This value should not be set to less than 1 millisecond. Values between 1 and 10 milliseconds should work with most applications.
After completing the module setup, the Controller Organization window displays the module's presence. The data required for the module is defined to the application, and objects are allocated in the Controller Tags data area. The Controller Organization window is shown in the following example:
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 19 of 80 March 6, 2008
Page 20
MVI56-DEM ControlLogix Platform Installing and Configuring the Module Honeywell DE Communication Module
The next step in the module's setup is to define the User Defined Data Types to be used with the module. Copy these data types from the example ladder logic if you are not using the example. They are already defined if you are starting from the example ladder logic. The Controller Organization window should display the User Defined Data Types shown in the following example:
The next step in module setup is to define the data tag to be used to interface with the module and the ladder logic. Open the Controller Tags Edit Tags dialog box and enter the values shown in the following example. The MVI56-DEM module is defined in the example as DEM1 to hold all data related to the module (type DEMModule). The tag name can be set to any valid tag name desired. When using the example ladder logic, this step has already been performed.

2.1 Module Configuration
This section contains the setup procedure, data, and ladder logic for successful application of the MVI56-DEM module. Each step in the setup procedure is defined in order to simplify the use of the module.
2.1.1 Module Data (DEMModule)
All data related to the MVI56-DEM is stored in a user-defined data type. An instance of the data type is required before the module can be used. This is accomplished by declaring a variable of the data type in the Controller Tags Edit Tags dialog box. The structure of the object is displayed in the following example:
This object contains objects that define variables to be used with the module and status data related to the module. Each of these object types are discussed in the following topics of the document.
The Upload member of this object holds the bits to trigger the upload process. This process copies the data read from the specific channel to the write data area. This process is valuable for removing data mismatch errors and for synchronizing the read and write data. Each bit in the array corresponds to an individual channel with bit 0 corresponding to channel 1 and bit 15 corresponding to channel 16. Review the example ladder logic for the upload function in this manual to see how these bits can be utilized.
The Download member of this object holds the bits to trigger the download process. This process forces a value of one into the function member of the write data for the specific channel. After the function is executed, the function code should be reset to zero to prevent the command from constantly executing. This process is used to alter the configuration data in the specific instrument. Each bit in the array corresponds to an individual channel with bit 0 corresponding to channel 1 and bit 15 corresponding to channel 16. Review the example ladder logic for the download function in this manual to see how these bits can be used.

Backplane Object (DEMBackplane)
The DEMBackplane object stores all the variables required for the data transfer operation between the module and the controller. The LastRead data member is used as the handshaking byte to indicate the arrival of new data from the module. The ch1 and ch2 members are use to hold the computed channel numbers received in a read block. These values are used as index values into the read data arrays to determine where the data is stored. The structure of this object is shown in the following illustration:
Real-time Object (DEM_Read_Realtime)
The DEM_Read_Realtime object holds the real-time data collected by the module from the DE instruments. The structure of this object is shown in the following example:

4 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
In This Chapter
Reading Status Data from the Module .................................................. 29
LED Status Indicators............................................................................ 35
The module provides information on diagnostics and troubleshooting in the following forms:
Status data values are transferred from the module to the processor. Data contained in the module can be viewed through the
Configuration/Debug port attached to a terminal emulator.
LED status indicators on the front of the module provide information on the
module's status.

4.1 Reading Status Data from the Module

The MVI56-DEM module returns a status data set to the ControlLogix processor in read blocks for each channel and for the whole module. This data is transferred to the ControlLogix processor continuously.
The Configuration/Debug port provides the following functionality:
Full view of the channel read and write data View of the module's and channel status data View of the real-time PV and SV values Version Information Control over the module (cold boot)
4.1.1 The Configuration/Debug Menu
The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the module is the Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the command letter from your computer keyboard in the terminal application (for example, HyperTerminal). The module does not respond to mouse movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the command letter — you do not need to press [Enter]. When you type a command letter, a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.

5.2 Functional Overview
This section provides an overview of how the MVI56-DEM module transfers data using the DEM protocol. You should understand the important concepts in this chapter before you begin installing and configuring the module.
5.2.1 General Concepts
The following discussion explains several concepts that are important for understanding the operation of the MVI56-DEM module.
DE Channels
The MVI56-DEM module has been designed to provide a tightly integrated Communication Interface between the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix platform and the family of Honeywell Smart Transmitters.
The module consists of two DE CPU micro-controllers, each of which provide communications with 8 DE Smart Transmitters. The subsequent figure shows the following functional components on the module:
A Primary DEM controller responsible for the overall operation of the board,
including:
o Access to Shared Ram between DE CPU #1, #2 o Backplane communications with Rockwell Automation processor o Transferring data from DE processors to processor o Transferring write commands from the processor to DE processors o Data Base Mismatch comparisons o LED Status indicators
Two DE CPU 68HC11 micro-controllers, each with the following:
o Eight data receivers which provide input signal conditioning (noise
filtering, surge limiting, etc.) for the serial data inputs
o An output channel selector and driver circuitry allowing the DE processor
to output data base write commands to any channel

Honeywell DE Communication Module
The Shared RAM provides a mailbox through which the MVI processor and
the two DE processors can communicate. Access to this Shared RAM is strictly controlled by the MVI56-DEM processor
The DEM module is connected to a Field Terminal Assembly (FTA), not
shown in diagram, which includes 250 ohm range resistors to convert the 4 to 20 ma current signals from the Smart Transmitters in the DE mode into 1 to 5 Volt signals

Multivariable Considerations: The following 'rules' must be followed when integrating multivariable devices:
1 No instrument can be physically wired to the FTA terminals within the logical
limits of another instrument
2 Cannot cross from Channel 8 to 9 with an MV transmitter, or rollover from
Channel 16 to 1
3 The Tag ID must be identical and non-blank across all logical channels
configured for use by a multivariable device
4 You must perform a Download Command on the physical channel in order to
change the number of PV's being transmitted (DECONFIG can only be written to the first slot of a multivariable transmitters
Module Power Up
On power up, the module begins performing the following logical functions: 1 Initialize hardware components
o Initialize backplane driver o Test and clear all RAM and shared RAM o Test and initialize both DE processors o Initialize the serial communication ports
2 Initialize the databases and ports 3 Set up the communication interface for the debug/configuration port
After the module receives the configuration, the module begins receiving and transmitting messages with devices on the serial networks.

Backplane Data Transfer
The MVI56-DEM module communicates directly over the backplane. Data travels between the module and the ControlLogix processor across the backplane using the module's input and output images. The update frequency of the data is determined by the scan rate defined by the user for the module and the communication load on the module. Typical updates are in the range of 1 to 10 milliseconds.
Data received by the DE driver is placed in the module's input image. This data is processed by the ladder logic in the ControlLogix processor. The input image for the module is set to 500 bytes. This large data area permits fast throughput of data between the module and the processor.
The processor inserts data in the module's output image to transfer to the module. The module's program extracts the data and transmits the data out to the DE driver to the DE instruments. Additionally, the ControlLogix processor can send special control blocks to the module to instruct it to perform a special task. The output image for the module is set to 496 bytes. This large data area permits fast throughput of data from the processor to the module.

Reference MVI56-DEM ♦ ControlLogix Platform Honeywell DE Communication Module
The following illustration shows the data transfer method used to move data between the ControlLogix processor, the MVI56-DEM module, and the DE instruments.
As shown in the previous diagram, all data transferred between the module and the processor over the backplane is through the input and output images. Ladder logic must be written in the ControlLogix processor to interface the input and output image data defined in the controller tags. The user is responsible for handling and interpreting all data received on the application ports and transferred to the input image.
As blocks are transferred between the module and the processor, each block contains a block identification code that defines the content or function of the block of data transferred. The block identification codes used by the module are displayed in the following table:
Block ID Type Description
0 to 1 Write Block
0 to 7 Read Block
9999 Write Block Forces the module to perform a cold-boot operation.
Data transferred from the processor to the module containing configuration data to pass to the instruments. Each block contains data for 8 channels. Block 0 contains the data for channels 1 to 8. Block 1 contains the data for channels 9 to 16.
Data transferred from the module to the processor. Each block contains status data, real-time data and data for 2 channels. Block 0 contains the data for channels 1 and 2. Block 1 contains the data for channels 3 and 4. Block 7 contains the data for channels 15 and 16.
Block identification codes 0 to 1 for write and 0 to 7 for read move the channel data between the module and the processor. Block identification code 9999 is used as a special control block to control the module. Each of these blocks are discussed in the following topics:
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 43 of 80 March 6, 2008
Page 44
MVI56-DEM ControlLogix Platform Reference Honeywell DE Communication Module
Normal Data Transfer
Normal data transfer includes the transferring of data received by or to be transmitted to the DE driver. This data is transferred through read (input image) and write (output image) blocks. Refer to Module Configuration for a description of the data objects used with the blocks and the ladder logic required. The following topics discuss the structure and function of each block.
Read Block
These blocks of data transfer information from the module to the ControlLogix processor. The general structure of the input image used to transfer data received from the DE devices is shown in the following table:
Reserved Write Block ID Real Time PV (32 words)
Real Time SV (32 words)
Status Data (3 Words)
Channel x Data (82 Words)
Channel x+1 Data (82 Words)
Product and Block Status Data (13 Words) Spare (3 Words)
Read Block ID
The first part of the block contains the real-time PV and SV values and the status data for the module and channels. The next two portions of the block contain the data for two channels of the module. The next segment of the block contains the product and block transfer status data. All this information should be stored in the processor when received by the user's ladder logic. The Block Identification Code (word 249) is used to signal the ControlLogix processor that a new block is ready for processing and informs the processor of the contents of the block. If the value of the code is set to 0, the block contains the channel read data for channels 1 and 2. If the value is set to 7, the block contains the channel read data for channels 15 and 16.
Refer to the Reference chapter for a detailed listing of the read block structure. Controller tags should be defined in the processor to receive this data.
Page 44 of 80 ProSoft Technology, Inc.
March 6, 2008
Page 45
Reference MVI56-DEM ♦ ControlLogix Platform Honeywell DE Communication Module
The read data block also contains the block identification code the module expects to receive from the processor (word 1 in the block). Under normal data transfer conditions, the ladder logic should use the code to build the appropriate block for the module in the output image.
Write Block
These blocks of data transfer information from the processor to the module. The general structure of the output image used to transfer this data is shown in the following table.
Write Block ID Channel x Data (17 Words)
Channel x+1 Data (17 Words)
Channel x+2 Data (17 Words)
Channel x+3 Data (17 Words)
Channel x+4 Data (17 Words)
Channel x+5 Data (17 Words)
Channel x+6 Data (17 Words)
Channel x+7 Data (17 Words)
Spare Data (111 Words)
The Block Identification code defines the content of the data contained in the block. If the block code is set to 0, data for channels 1 to 8 are contained in the block. If the block code is set to 1, data for channels 9 to 16 are contained in the block. Under normal conditions, the value used for the write block identification code should be that received in the read block from the module.
The Reference chapter of this document contains a detailed description of the write block structure. Ladder logic should be written to transfer the correct write data for each channel into these blocks.

Command Control Blocks
Block identification codes greater than 9900 are utilized to perform special functions in the module. Each control block recognized and used by the module is defined in the following topics.
Cold Boot Block (9999)
Block 9999 performs a cold-boot operation on the module. The format of the block constructed by the processor is as follows:
Offset Description Length

5.2.2 Data Flow
The movement of data between the transmitter and the processor is important to understand. The following illustration shows the data movement paths that are supported in this application. The diagram shows SCAN 3000 implementation, but functionality will be similar for other interfaces. The SCAN 3000 software will be supported after the interface to the ControlLogix processor has been defined.

Important: One of the underlying concepts that must be understood is that the processor is considered the 'owner' of the data. Therefore the contents of the processor data space, in particular the Write Data space, are the data to which all other data is compared.
Step Description
Power Up
Read DE Transmitter & Calculate Mismatch
The read database will be populated by the DEM from the Smart Transmitter, and the write database will remain unchanged from its initial value in the processor. The user can then choose to upload or download
The module continuously transfers from the Smart Transmitter database to the read database, comparing the Write and Read files in the processor for mismatch. The module performs a mismatch comparison between the two and sets the status in the read database accordingly

Page 47
Reference MVI56-DEM ♦ ControlLogix Platform Honeywell DE Communication Module
Step Description
Upload
Download
Populates write database with that of the Smart Transmitter (via the read database in the processor). Upload may be a continuous loop if the module is to be configured in an un-secure mode. Otherwise, the Upload should only be initiated by a user. Ladder logic must support this feature. The operation only interacts with the processor and does not affect the operation of the MVI module.
Download populates the Smart Transmitter with the values in the write database from the processor. First download will put the Smart Transmitter in the DE mode (future) (if it is not already)
5.2.3 Reading from Honeywell Smart Transmitters
The ProSoft MVI56-DEM module allows the processor to read the real time data, the status data, and the configuration parameters in the Smart Transmitter's database. An overview of the data that is available from a transmitter follows (A detailed listing and description of the data is in the Reference chapter of this manual):
Type Description
Real Time PV Value (Last Good Value and NaN value) SV Value (Last God Value and NaN value) Status Module Status: Health indication Data Base Mismatch Status flags PV Update Counter SV Update Counter Communication Error Counter Status Messages: ASCII Configuration Function: Download/Upload Tag Name: ASCII Serial Number: ASCII DE Configuration: Data base mode Damping Value PV Characterization Sensor Type PV Number (channel # on MV transmitter) Number of PVs: (# of channels on MV Transmitter) Upper Range Value: URV Lower Range Value: LRV Upper Range Limit: URL Lower Range Limit: LRL
The Status and Configuration values are being received from the Smart Transmitter on a continuous basis to the DEM. The DEM will not actually receive these values until a complete database has been acquired from the instrument. This cycle can take anywhere from 15 to 90 seconds, depending on the instrument type. After the database is read into the DEM module, the cycle automatically starts over again. In this fashion the DEM module, and therefore the PLC Read Database, are being completely updated on a regular basis.

5.2.4 Writing to Honeywell Smart Transmitters
In addition to the read functionality described previously, the ProSoft MVI56-DEM module allows the PLC application to change some of the configuration values in the Honeywell Smart Transmitter. These values are written to the instrument by pre-loading the appropriate register locations in the PLC and initiating a Download (Function = 1) cycle.
The module executes the Download Command and returns the completion status in the Device Status word. Upon receipt of the completion bit, the Download write register should be cleared to prevent continuous execution of the operation.
Note: The example ladder provided with the mod ule and listed in this document performs the logic necessary to implement the Download f unctionality. We recommend the use of this logic, at least as a starting point, with simple modifications to the addressing.
The configuration parameters that can be written to the instrument are as follows:
Type Description
Write to Transmitter
Configuration Function: Download/Upload N N Tag Name: ASCII Y Y DE Configuration Y Y(1) Damping Value Y Y PV Characterization Y Y Sensor Type Y Y Upper Range Value: URV Y Y Lower Range Value: LRV Y Y Upper Range Limit: URL N Y(2) PV Num - N Y(2) Number of PV N Y(2)
Mismatch Tested
(1) DE Configuration modes which disable the database read also disable Mismatch testing
(2) These values are written to the module for Mismatch testing purposes
Page 48 of 80 ProSoft Technology, Inc.
March 6, 2008
Page 49
Reference MVI56-DEM ♦ ControlLogix Platform Honeywell DE Communication Module
Performing a Download: Function 1
The Download Function performs the step of writing the new data to the instrument. Until the Function is set to 1, the Write Database is not moved to the instrument. The flow of write data from the operator interface station to the instrument is shown in the following diagram. The Write Database image in the PLC is being moved to the DEM module for Mismatch comparison purposes.
Performing an Upload
The Upload Function performs the step of moving the data that has been read from the instrument database from the PLC Read database into the PLC Write database. This function is useful for initializing the Write database when the Read database is known to contain good data. Performing this step clears any Mismatch conditions that exist. The flow of write data from the read database during the Upload function is shown in the following diagram:
The operation is completely contained in the PLC processor and does not require any action by the MVI processor. Ladder logic must copy the read data to the write data area. This can occur on a continuous basis or triggered by an event.

5.2.5 PV Value Integrity
A great deal of effort is put into the task of assuring the integrity of the PV value presented to the PLC. Two forms of the PV and SV variables are made available to the PLC:
PV: Last Good Value
This value is the PV value unconditioned by the Data Base Mismatch. Care should be exercised when using this PV value as the scaling, which is based on the URV/URL/LRV parameters, may not be accurate.
During the normal operation, the DEM module performs integrity checks of the health of the PV value. Should a condition be detected which could affect the integrity, the Bad PV Flag is set (Device Status Word 1/13). The four conditions which will cause the Bad PV Flag to be set are:
PV Update Timeout
If the PV value has not been updated within 6 seconds (24 PV update cycles), the flag will be set
Data Base Mismatch
If any data base mismatch condition is detected, the flag will be set
SFC Write Detected
If an SFC write to the instrument data base is detected, the flag will be set. Note that in a redundant application, the SFC Write Detected condition will be detected when a Download command is executed from the other module or from the SFC unit.
FTA Not Present
If the FTA connector or the 24 VDC power supply is disconnected, the flag will be set.
In order to clear the Bad PV Flag, the offending condition must be cleared, and under most circumstances will have to wait until a new data base has been received from the instrument.
5.2.6 Data Base Mismatch
Data base mismatch testing is performed by the DEM module on the write parameters received from the PLC. The mismatch status is returned to the PLC for use by the ladder logic or for status available to the PLC in via the Data Mismatch Active Flag in Device Status Word #1.

Important: The mismatch condition is performed in the DEM module on the write parameters every time the module receives a new copy of the parameters from the PLC.
Clearing the database mismatch condition is executed in one of several ways: 1 Wait for the mismatch condition to clear. If the mismatch was generated as
the result of a Download Command, the mismatch will be cleared when the next data base is fully read from the instrument
2 Perform a Download Command to the instrument. If the write data is known
to be correct executing a Download will move the new values to the instrument. If the Download is successful, the mismatch condition will clear when the next data base is fully read from the instrument
3 Perform an Upload Command.

5.3 RS-232 Configuration/Debug Port

This port is physically an RJ45 connection. An RJ45 to DB-9 adapter cable is included with the module. This port permits a PC based terminal emulation program to view configuration and status data in the module and to control the module. The cable for communications on this port is shown in the following diagram:

5.3.1 Disabling the RSLinx Driver for the Com Port on the PC
The communication port driver in RSLinx can occasionally prevent other applications from using the PC's COM port. If you are not able to connect to the module's configuration/debug port using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB), HyperTerminal or another terminal emulator, follow these steps to disable the RSLinx Driver.
1 Open RSLinx and go to Communications>RSWho 2 Make sure that you are not actively browsing using the driver that you wish to

Note: You may need to shut down and restart your PC before it will allow you to stop the driver (usually only on Windows NT machines). If you have followed all of the above steps, and it will not stop the driver, then make sure you do not have RSLogix open. If RSLogix is not open, and you still cannot stop the driver, then reboot your PC.
