1 Functional Overview

In This Chapter

 Master/Slave Serial Port(s) .................................................................... 10

 Module Internal Database ..................................................................... 11

The DF1 Master/Slave Protocol driver can exist in a single port (DFCM) or a multiple port (DFCM4) implementation. In either case, the driver can be configured on an individual port basis to operate as either a DF1 Master or a Slave. Each port is independently configured for communication on a DF1 network and interfaces with the internal database in the module.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 9 of 88 October 15, 2010

Functional Overview DFCM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Driver Manual DF1 Master/Slave

1.1 Master/Slave Serial Port(s)

The ProLinx module supports the DF1 protocol as a Master or Slave on up to four ports. Each of the ports is individually configurable.

The relationship between the port labeling on the front of the ProLinx module and the application is as follows:

Port Label Function

Debug Debug/Configuration Port 0 DF1 Port 0

Following ports only exist on multiple port units

Port 1 DF1 Port 1 Port 2 DF1 Port 2 Port 3 DF1 Port 3

One or more DF1 protocol master ports can be configured on the module to continuously interface with DF1 slave devices over a serial communication interface (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485). Each port is configured independently. Support for half-duplex (master-slave) and full-duplex (point-to-point) DF1 links are provided on the ports. User defined commands determine the commands to be issued on each port. Up to 100 commands can be defined for each port. Data read from the devices are placed in the virtual database. Any write requests for the DF1 slave devices are sourced with data from the virtual database.

The module can be configured to place slave devices that are not responding to commands from the master ports at a lower priority. If the module recognizes that a slave device has failed to respond to a message after the user defined retry count, it will mark the slave as "in communication failure" and set the error delay counter to the specified value. Each time the module encounters this slave in the command list, the counter will be decremented. When the value reaches zero, the slave will be placed in an active status. This facility can improve communication throughput on the network.

If the DF1 master port is configured to support the DF1 half-duplex protocol, the master port can be used to route messages between slaves. Peer-to-peer communication is accomplished by the master constantly polling all the slaves on the network and relaying the messages received. The slaves must contain ladder logic with MSG commands to generate and accept messages. This routing can be used in conjunction with the normal command processing discussed above.

DF1 slave devices can be emulated on the module to interface with remote DF1 master devices. Each port is configured independently. Support for half-duplex (master-slave) and full-duplex (point-to-point) DF1 links are provided on the ports. Simulation of a selected set of functions from the basic, PLC5 and SLC command sets are supported. Virtual files are mapped to the internal database in the module to provide support of the PLC5 and SLC command sets.

DFCM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Functional Overview DF1 Master/Slave Driver Manual

1.2 Module Internal Database

The internal database is central to the functionality of the module. This database is shared between all the ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from one device on one network to one or more devices on another network. This permits data from devices on one communication port to be viewed and controlled by devices on another port. In addition to data from the slave and master ports, status and error information generated by the module can also be mapped into the internal database.

1.2.1 DF1 Serial Port Driver Access to Database

The following diagram describes the flow of data between the serial port drivers and the internal database.

The Master driver uses the database in two ways: 1 A read command issued to a slave device by the master driver will return the

slave data into the internal database

2 A write command issued to a slave device by the master driver uses the data

in the internal database to write to the slave device

The slave driver accesses data from the internal database. External DF1 master devices can monitor and control data in this database through these slave port(s). Setup of the slave ports only requires the CFG file.

 Example Slave Port Application ............................................................ 19

 Slave Port Command Support ............................................................... 20

This section discusses several characteristics in the module’s configuration and operation that are unique to the emulated DF1 slave ports. In order to support several types of DF1 devices, the slave ports require additional configuration parameters. If the basic command set is used, these features need not be considered. These features must be considered if the module has the potential of receiving a PLC5 or SLC command function.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 17 of 88 October 15, 2010

DFCM Slave Driver Operation DFCM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Driver Manual DF1 Master/Slave

3.1 File Simulation

The PLC5 and SLC command sets require the use of data files. These entities are simulated in the module and are configured by the user. Data in these processors are stored in files such as N10:, F20: and A25:. Each file has a defined element size and length. The module simulates these files by assigning each element to a word-size (two bytes) register in the module’s database, and each file is set to a fixed, user-defined length. These files are mapped to the database under user control. A discussion of each parameter related to the file simulation is given below along with an example.

[SECTION]/Item Range Description

[DF1 PORT 0] [DF1 PORT 1] [DF1 PORT 2] [DF1 PORT 3]

First File: This parameter defines the first file number recognized by

File Size: This parameter defines a constant size for all files

File Offset:

Configuration Header for Port 1 Configuration Header for Port 2 Configuration Header for Port 3

the module. If the value is set to 7, all requests for files less than 7 will be returned as an error message. Files greater than or equal to 7 will be processed as long as the elements referenced are valid for the database. If a request is received for an element beyond the last register in the database, the module will return an error message.

simulated by the module. If the parameter is set to 100, all files will contain 100 elements. If the First File parameter is set to 7 and the File Size parameter is set to 100, all files (N7:, N8:, N9...) will contain 100 elements.

This parameter defines the starting address in the

module’s internal database to be associated with the first element in the first file to be simulated. For example, if the First File parameter is set to 7 and the File Offset parameter is set to 1000, file element N7:0 will correspond to database register 1000 and N7:100 will correspond to register 1100.

4.1.4 Port 0, 1, 2, 3: RS-422 Interface Connections

The following illustration applies when the RS-422 interface is selected.

4.1.5 Port 0, 1, 2, 3: RS-485 Interface Connections

The following illustration applies when the RS-485 interface is selected.

NOTE: This type of connection is commonly called a RS-485 half-duplex, 2-wire connection. If you have RS-485 4-wire, full-duplex devices, they can be connected to the module's serial ports by wiring together the TxD+ and RxD+ from the two pins of the full-duplex device to Pin 1 on the module and wiring together the TxD- and RxD- from the two pins of the full-duplex device to Pin 8 on the module. As an alternative, you could try setting the module to use the RS-422 interface and connect the full-duplex device according to the RS-422 wiring diagram (page 24). For additional assistance, please contact ProSoft Technical Support.

5.2 LEDs for Serial DF1 Protocol Ports

Troubleshooting the operation of the serial DF1 protocol ports can be performed using several methods.

The first and quickest is to scan the LEDs on the module to determine the existence and possibly the cause of a problem. This section provides insight into the operation of the Serial Port status LEDs.

Some ProLinx modules will include three extra serial ports. Each of these serial ports has two LEDs indicating status.

6.1 [DF1 Pass-Through Port]

This section describes the use and configuration of the pass-through mode on the Debug/Configuration port of DFCM based modules.

Port 0 can operate either as:

 Pass-Through from the Debug to Port 0  Standard Debug/Configuration operation on the Debug Port.

To enable Pass-Through mode:

1 Port 0 on the module must be configured as a DF1 master port using the DF1

full-duplex protocol.

2 The Enabled parameter in the [Pass-Through Port] Section must be set to

"Yes"

The communication parameters for the two ports need not match, as the module's program will convert the messages. The illustration above displays the use of the pass-through port and Debug/Configuration port.

Page 30 of 88 ProSoft Technology, Inc. October 15, 2010

DFCM ♦ ProLinx Gateway DFCM Protocol Configuration DF1 Master/Slave Driver Manual

6.1.1 Configuration Values

The module must be configured properly in order to use the pass-through mode. Port 0 must be configured as a DF1 master port using the full-duplex protocol. The termination type (BCC or CRC) set on Port 0 is used for the pass-through port. The module's configuration file must contain the [Pass-Through Port] section with the Enabled parameter set to "Yes".

6.1.2 Switching between Pass-Through and Debug/Configuration

When the module’s program is initialized, it will be set with the Debug/ Configuration port in pass-through mode. A DF1 master device (that is, PanelView or HMI) or programming device (that is, PC running RSLogix software) can be connected to the Debug/Configuration port with the messages routed through the port to Port 0 on the module. The module’s command polling on Port 0 will be interrupted as messages from the pass-through port are handled.

To switch the module to Debug/Configuration mode on the port, follow these steps:

1 Connect the terminal device (personal computer running a terminal emulator)

to the Debug/Configuration port.

2 Start the terminal emulator software. 3 Change the baud rate to match the pass-through configuration. 4 Press and hold the [D] key on the keyboard until the following message

appears:

Change to 57.6 Kb Baud… 5 Change the baud rate on the terminal emulator software to 57.6 baud. 6 Press [?] key to display the module’s Debug/Configuration main menu.

The Debug/Configuration is now available. Refer to the ProLinx Reference Guide for menu commands and other information).

To return the port to pass-through mode, press [*] (Shift-8) on the main menu. When the message Exiting Debug Configuration Mode… appears, disconnect the personal computer from the port and connect the DF1 master device to the port.

6.2 [DF1 Port x]

The [DF1 PORT x] sections of the configuration file set the DF1 port type, communication parameters, define the protocol specifics and set the command list parameters. The parameters are the same for each port. Each DF1 Port also has its own Command List.

6.2.1 Enabled

This parameter specifies if the port will be used. If the parameter is set to No, the port is disabled. If the parameter is set to Yes, the port is enabled.

6.2.2 Type

Type : Master #M=Master, S=Slave

This parameter defines if the port will emulate a master or a slave device. Enter Master if the port is to emulate a master device or Slave if the port is to emulate a slave device.

6.2.3 Local Station ID

This parameter specifies the local station ID for all DF1 messages sent from this master port. A value of 255 is not permitted as this is the broadcast address. Enter a value in the range of 0 to 254.

6.2.4 Protocol

Protocol : Full #F=Full-Duplex, H=Half-Duplex

This parameter specifies the DF1 protocol to be used on the port. Enter Full for full-duplex communications or Half for half-duplex communications.

6.2.5 Termination Type

Termination Type : CRC #B=BCC, C=CRC

This parameter specifies error checking for all DF1 messages. Enter CRC or BCC.

6.2.6 Baud Rate

6.2.7 Parity

None, Odd, Even Parity is a simple error checking algorithm used in serial communication. This

parameter specifies the type of parity checking to use. All devices communicating through this port must use the same parity setting.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 33 of 88 October 15, 2010

DFCM Protocol Configuration DFCM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Driver Manual DF1 Master/Slave

6.2.8 Data Bits

7 or 8

This parameter sets the number of data bits for each word used by the protocol. All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of data bits.

6.2.9 Stop Bits

1 or 2 Stop bits signal the end of a character in the data stream. For most applications,

use one stop bit. For slower devices that require more time to re-synchronize, use two stop bits.

All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of stop bits.

6.2.10 Minimum Response Delay

0 to 65535 This parameter is used only when the port is configured as a slave. It sets the

number of milliseconds to wait before responding to a command received on the port from a remote Master. This delay is sometimes required to accommodate slower Master devices.

6.2.11 RTS On

0 to 65535 milliseconds This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after Ready To Send

(RTS) is asserted before data will be transmitted.

6.2.12 RTS Off

0 to 65535 milliseconds This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after the last byte of

data is sent before the RTS modem signal will be set low.

6.2.13 Use CTS Line

YES or NO

This parameter specifies if the Clear To Send (CTS) modem control line is to be used or not. If the parameter is set to NO, the CTS line will not be monitored. If the parameter is set to YES, the CTS line will be monitored and must be high before the module will send data. Normally, this parameter is required when halfduplex modems are used for communication (2-wire). This procedure is commonly referred to as hardware handshaking.

6.5 [DF1 PORT x COMMANDS]

The [DF1 PORT 0 COMMANDS], [DF1 PORT 1 COMMANDS], [DF1 PORT 2 COMMANDS] and [DF1 PORT 3 COMMANDS] sections of the CFG file set the serial master port command lists. These lists poll slave devices attached to the master ports. The module supports numerous commands.

The command list is formatted differently than the other sections of the configuration file. Commands are present in a block between the labels START and END. These labels inform the program where the list resides. The module's program will parse all commands after the START label until it reaches the END label.

6.5.1 Command List Overview

In order to interface the ProLinx module with slave devices, you must construct a command list. The commands in the list specify the slave device to be addressed, the function to be performed (read or write), the data area in the device to interface with and the registers in the internal database to be associated with the device data. There is a separate command list for each master port, with up to 100 commands allowed per master port. The command list is processed from top (command #0) to bottom. A poll interval parameter is associated with each command to specify a minimum delay time in seconds between the issuance of a command. If the user specifies a value of 10 for the parameter, the command will be executed no more frequently than every 10 seconds.

Write commands have a special feature, as they can be set to execute only if the data in the write command changes. If the register data values in the command have not changed since the command was last issued, the command will not be executed. If the data in the command has changed since the command was last issued, the command will be executed. Use of this feature can lighten the load on the DF1 network. In order to implement this feature; set the enable code for the command to a value of 2.

If the module is configured for the DF1 half-duplex protocol, the module can act as a master device routing messages between attached slave devices. This peer-to-peer communication is defined in the DF1 protocol specification. The master polls each DF1 slave device until no more data is available from the device. Response messages from the slaves that have a destination address that do not match the module are routed with a request message header back out onto the network. This facility offers communication between the slave devices for control and data monitoring. This feature is not available if the module is configured for DF1 full-duplex mode (point-to-point).

The module supports numerous commands. This permits the module to interface with a wide variety of DF1 protocol devices. This includes PLC2, PLC5, SLC-500 series, MicroLogix and ControlLogix processors. Additionally, other devices supplied by that use the DF1 protocol are supported.

1 Words: The words are swapped (1234=3412) 2 Words & Bytes - The words are swapped then the

3 Bytes: The bytes in each word are swapped

This parameter specifies the slave node address on the network to be considered. Values of 1 to 255 are permitted. If the value is set to 255, the command will be a broadcast message on the network. The DF1 protocol permits broadcast commands for write operations. Do not use this node address for read operations.

These parameters specify the function to be executed by the command. The Reference chapter in this Manual describes the meaning of these values for each of the available supported commands. Following is a complete list of the command supported by the Master driver.

8.1 Serial Port Protocol Error/Status Data

The second and most thorough troubleshooting method for debugging the operation of the DFCM driver (and the module in general) is the powerful Debug port on the module which provides much more complete access to the internal operation and status of the module. Accessing the Debug capabilities of the module is accomplished easily by connecting a PC to the Debug port and loading a terminal program such as ProSoft Configuration Builder or HyperTerminal.

8.1.1 Viewing Error and Status Data

The following topics describe the register addresses that contain protocol error and status data. Viewing the contents of each register is accomplished using the Database View option. The use of this option and its associated features are described in detail in the ProLinx Reference Guide.

8.1.2 DF1 Error and Status Data Area Addresses

DF1 error and status data are stored in registers based on the DF1 port configuration. Starting register addresses are shown in the following table.

DF1 Port Starting Address

0 6300 1 6700 2 7100 3 7500

Note: None of the addresses are available in the DF1 address range. In order to view them, the data must be moved using the Data Map section of the configuration file. Refer to Moving Data (page 70) for an example of how to move data to the DF1 address range.

DFCM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Reference DF1 Master/Slave Driver Manual

8.1.3 DF1 Ports - Error/Status Data

The serial port (DF1 Master/Slave) Error and Status Data areas are discussed in this section. The Error Status Pointer value is configured in the CFG file within each of the individual [DF1 PORT X] sections.

The data area is initialized with zeros whenever the module is initialized. This occurs during a cold-start (power-on), reset (reset push-button pressed) or a warm-boot operation (commanded or loading of new configuration).

Example Internal Database Address

6300 0 Number of Command Requests 6301 1 Number of Command Responses 6302 2 Number of Command Errors 6303 3 Number of Requests 6304 4 Number of Responses 6305 5 Number of Errors Sent 6306 6 Number of Errors Received 6307 7 Configuration Error Word 6308 8 Current Error Code 6309 9 Last Error Code

Offset Description

Refer to the following Error Codes section to interpret the status/error codes present in the data area.

8.1.4 Master Port: Command Errors

The individual command errors for each master port are returned to the address locations specified in the following table.

DF1 Port Address Range

0 6310 to 6409 1 6710 to 6809 2 7110 to 7209 3 7510 to 7609

The first word in the register location defined contains the status/error code for the first command in the port’s command list. Each successive word in the command error list is associated with the next command in the list.

Refer to Error Codes to interpret the status/error codes present in the data area.

Offset Description

Note that the values in the Command List Error Status tables are initialized to zero (0) at power-up, cold boot and during warm boot.

8.1.5 Master Port: DF1 Slave List Status

Each slave polled in the command list on the DF1 master ports has a reserved word value for a status code. This status data list can be read using the Configuration/Debug Port and can be placed in the module’s internal database. The first word in the register location defined contains the status code for the DF1 slave node address 0. Each successive word in the list is associated with the next node up to slave node 255.

Slaves attached to the master port can have one of the following states:

0 The slave is inactive and not defined in the command list for the master port. 1 The slave is actively being polled or controlled by the master port and

communication is successful.

2 The master port has failed to communicate with the slave device. Communication

with the slave is suspended for a user defined period based on the scanning of the command list.

Slaves are defined to the system when the module initializes the master command list. Each slave defined will be set to a state value of 1 in this initial step. If the master port fails to communicate with a slave device (retry count expired on a command), the master will set the state of the slave to a value of 2 in the status table. This suspends communication with the slave device for a user specified scan count (Error Delay Counter value in the configuration). Each time a command in the list is scanned that has the address of a suspended slave, the delay counter value will be decremented. When the value reaches zero, the slave state will be set to 1. This will enable polling of the slave.

The individual Slave List Status errors for each DF1 port are returned to the address locations specified in the following table.

DF1 Port Address Range

0 6410 to 6665 1 6810 to 7065 2 7210 to 7465 3 7610 to 7865

Offset Description

The example addresses shown above assumes DF1 Port 1. Note that each master port will have one of these status data blocks available in the internal database, each individually located with a separate address.

Note that the values in the Slave List Status tables are initialized to zero (0) at power-up, cold boot and during warm boot.

8.2 Error Codes

The module error codes are listed in this section. Error codes returned from the command list process are stored in the command list error memory region. A word is allocated for each command in the memory area. The error codes are formatted in the word as follows: The least-significant byte of the word contains the extended status code and the most-significant byte contains the status code.

Use the error codes returned for each command in the list to determine the success or failure of the command. If the command fails, use the error code to determine the cause of failure.

Note: The Module Specific error codes (not DF1 compliant) are returned from within the module and never returned from an attached DF1 slave device. These are error codes that are part of the DF1 protocol or are extended codes unique to this module. The standard DF1 error codes can be found in the DF1 Protocol and Command Set Reference Manual (Publication 1770-6.5.16) from Rockwell Automation. The most common errors for the DF1 protocol are shown in the following tables:

8.4 DF1 Command Set For ProSoft Technology Communication Modules

8.4.1 Introduction

This document contains a complete description of the command set required to communicate with DF1 protocol devices using a ProSoft communication module. ProSoft communication modules that contain a virtual DF1 master device use this command set to control and monitor data in DF1 protocol devices. These include PLC, SLC, MicroLogix and ControlLogix controllers and field devices supporting the DF1 protocol. ProSoft supports the DF1 protocol on both the serial and network interface. The network interface requires the use of the port service address 0xAF12 as specified in the ControlNet Specification. supports this feature in the ControlLogix, PLC5 xx/E and SLC 5/05 processors.

The ProSoft modules contain a virtual database that is defined by the user. This database is used as the source for write commands and the destination for read commands issued on the virtual DF1 master devices. The module interfaces data contained in remote DF1 slave devices to the virtual database using the DF1 master. User commands are issued out of the DF1 master from a command list. These commands gather or control data in the DF1 slave devices. The following illustration shows the relationships discussed above:

Each command issued from the DF1 master contains a field that indicates the location in the virtual database to be associated with the command. Care must be taken when designing a system to be sure the read and write data regions for the database do not overlap for a single device. The read area of one device can overlap the write section of another device to transfer the data from one slave device to another.

8.4.4 SLC Processor Specifics

This section contains information specific to the SLC processor based family when used with the DF1 command set. The SLC processor commands support a file type field entered as a single character to denote the data table to interface with in the command. The following table defines the relationship of the file types accepted by the module and the SLC file types:

SLC File Types

File Type File Type Command Code Description

S 83 Status B 66 Bit T 84 Timer C 67 Counter R 82 Control N 78 Integer F 70 Floating-point Z 90 String A 65 ASCII

The File Type Command Code is the ASCII character code value of the File Type letter. This is the value to enter into the "File Type" parameter of the DF1 Command configurations in the data tables in the ladder logic.

Additionally, the SLC specific functions (502, 510 and 511) support a subelement field. This field selects a sub-element field in a complex data table. For example, to obtain the current accumulated value for a counter or timer, the subelement field should be set to 2.

8.4.5 MicroLogix Processor Specifics

This section contains information specific to the MicroLogix processor based family when used with the DF1 command set. The MicroLogix processor commands support a file type field entered as a single character to denote the data table to interface with in the command. This field is the same as that used for a SLC processor. The following table defines the relationship of the file types accepted by the module and the SLC file types:

8.4.6 ControlLogix Processor Specifics

This section contains information specific to the ControlLogix processor when used with the DF1 command set. The current implementation of the DF1 command set does not use functions that can directly interface with the ControlLogix Tag Database. In order to interface with this database, the tablemapping feature provided by RSLogix 5000 must be used. The software permits the assignment of ControlLogix Tag Arrays to virtual PLC 5 data tables. The ProSoft module using the PLC 5 command set defined in this document can then reach this controller data.
