Quick Start MVI46-103M ♦ SLC Platform IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
2 Quick Start
This section provides the steps required to configure the module. After you
download the sample configuration file, please perform the following steps:
Step 1 - Configure the Number of Slaves (Sessions)
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is a master-slave protocol where the slaves are
typically protection equipments for substations. The MVI46-103M module
supports up to 32 slaves (total) connected to its ports. Each slave has to be
configured as a session. Refer to the configuration file to enter the number of
slaves that will be connected to the MVI46-103M module:
[IEC-870-5-103 Master]
Session Count : 5 #1 to 32 - maximum number of slaves on all channels
In the example above, the module will only poll sessions 0 to 4. The module
would not poll sessions 5 to 15.
In the Step 3, the user will configure each session as an actual slave in the
network.
Step 2 - Configure the Port Communication Parameters
The user should configure the port communication parameters in order to enable
data transfer between the master and the slave(s). The port communication
parameters include: baud rate, parity, RTS ON, RTS OFF and Minimum Delay.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol uses two baud rates: 19200 or 9600 kb/s and
even parity.
Refer to the [IEC-870-5-103 Master Port 0] section in the configuration file in
order to configure the communication parameters for the 103M port:
[IEC-870-5-103 Master Port 0]
# Communication Parameters
Baud Rate : 19200 #Baud rate for port 9600-19200
Parity : E #N=None, O=Odd, E=Even, M=Mark, S=Space
RTS On : 0 #0-65536 mSec before message
RTS Off : 1 #0-65536 mSec after message
Minimum Delay : 10 #Minimum # of mSec before response sent
Receive Timeout : 2000 #Maximum mSec from first char to last to wait
# These parameters are protocol specific
Single char ACK F0,1 or 3 : Y #Single E5 resp to ACK func 0, 1 & 3 req (Y/N)
The user should also configure the jumpers located at the back at the module in
order to select the correct communication mode: RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485.

MVI46-103M ♦ SLC Platform Quick Start
IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
Step 3 - Configure the Session (Slave) Poll Parameters
According to the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol, the master cyclically polls data from
the slaves. The data is classified into two classes; Class 1 and Class 2. Events
belong to Class 1 and analog data to Class 2. The module can request data
through Class 1 or Class 2 requests. Responses to control command and
general interrogation commands are also sent as Class 1 data.
Please refer to the [IEC-103 Master Session x] section in the configuration file in
order to configure how each slave will be polled.
Initially, the user should enter the MVI46-103M port number that will be
connected to the session (slave) using the "Communication Port" parameter.
Valid values are 0 or 1.
These parameters include the Data Link Address, which is the slave address that
identifies all protection equipment on the network. There should be a unique
number for each slave on the network. There are also certain parameters that
pertain to how the Class 1 and Class 2 polls will be used for data transfer.
You must enter the number of sectors for each session using the Sector Count
parameter. The module accepts up to 3 sectors per session.
[IEC-103 Master Session 0]
Communication Port : 0 #Index of COM port for session (0 or 1)
Sector Count : 5 #5 is max for this version of app
Data Link Address : 0 #Range is 0 to 65535 DL address of slave
Failure Delay : 3 #Min Sec to delay before poll of offline slave
#(0 to 2000 seconds)
Confirm Timeout : 20000 #0 to 2^32-1 mSec to wait for DL confirm
Retry Count : 5 #0 to 255 retries for if no confirm
Response Timeout : 5000 #Timeout for confirm of req (0 to 2^32-1)
C1/C2 Poll Count Pend : 6 #class 1 or 2 polls before next slave tried (0-
65535)
Class 1 Polls : 10 #Max class 1 polls to this session
Class 1 Pend delay : 1000 #Min mSec delay between call (0 to 2^32-1)
Class 2 Pend delay : 1000 #Min mSec delay between call (0 to 2^32-1)
Class 1 Poll delay : 1000 #Min mSec delay between call (0 to 2^32-1)
Class 2 Poll delay : 1000 #Min mSec delay between call (0 to 2^32-1)
This step should be repeated for each session to be used. For example, if the
user selected 8 sessions during Step 1, he or she should configure sessions 0 to
7:
[IEC-103 Master Session 0]
[IEC-103 Master Session 1]
[IEC-103 Master Session 2]
[IEC-103 Master Session 3]
[IEC-103 Master Session 4]
[IEC-103 Master Session 5]
[IEC-103 Master Session 6]
[IEC-103 Master Session 7]

Quick Start MVI46-103M ♦ SLC Platform
IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
Step 4 - Sector (Data Set) Configuration
For each session (slave), you must configure one or more sectors (maximum of
5). A sector is a data set defined by the vendor. Each sector is identified by the
Common ASDU Address parameter in the [IEC-103 Master Session x Sector 0]
area in the configuration file. This area also contains some parameters that will
affect the module initialization procedure.
[IEC-103 Master Session 0 Sector 0]
Common ASDU Address : 0 #Range 0 to 255 Sector address
#Req init requests when session first online (not req if slave sends
# EOI sequence)
Online Time sync : Y #Send time sync message when first online
Online General Int : Y #Send general interrogation
#Req init requests when EOI (end of initialization) received from slave
EOI Time sync : Y #Send time sync message when first online
EOI General Int : Y #Send general interrogation
# ASDU Database Function Point
# Type Index Code Index
START
1 0 128 16
1 16 128 18
1 32 128 19
1 48 128 20
1 64 128 21
1 80 128 22
1 96 128 23
1 112 128 24
1 128 128 25
1 144 128 26
END
This step should be repeated for each sector used by the application. The
module will only use the sectors configured in the previous step.
Step 5 - Monitor Point Configuration (Monitor Direction)
After the slave receives a Class 1 or Class 2 request from the master, it responds
with a message containing data. Each piece of equipment is normally configured
to respond with specific points when it is being polled with a Class 2 request.
During a Class 2 response, the slave may set a control bit (ACD) to inform the
master that there are new events to be transmitted. Then, the master will send a
Class 1 poll to read the events from the slave.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol states that the data is transferred between the
master and slave using an ASDU (Application Service Data Unit) format. Each
format is given by:

The user should refer to the protection equipment specification for the following
information about each point:
Type: Type of the message
Function Type: Type of protection function
Information Number: Point Identification
This information will identify each point in the MVI46-103M configuration file. The
user has to configure the points that will be updated in the MVI46-103M database
when a Class 2 or Class 1 response containing data is sent from the slave. The
user can refer to [IEC-103 Master Session x Sector y] section in the configuration
file in order to configure each point:
# ASDU Database Function Point
# Type Index Code Index

1 80 128 21
END
Where the user should enter:
ASDU Type: ASDU type for the point
Function Type: Function type for the point
Point Index: Information number for the point
Database Index: The MVI46-103M database location where the value will be
copied. Special attention should be considered since the type of addressing will
depend on the ASDU type:
ASDU Type DB Addressing
1 Bit address with each point occupying 2 bits
2 Bit address with each point occupying 2 bits
3 Word address with each point occupying 4 words
4 Double-word address for the single float value

Quick Start MVI46-103M ♦ SLC Platform
IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
ASDU Type DB Addressing
5 Byte address with each point occupying 12 bytes
9 Word address with each point occupying 9 words
For example, in order to configure the following points:
Time-tagged message point with information number 17 (teleprotection
active) and distance protection function (128). The value will be copied to bits
0 and 1 in word 1 (second word) in the module's database.
Measurands I point with information number 144 (measurands I) and
overcurrent protection function (160). The value will be copied to word 50 in
the module's database.
The following configuration information should be entered:
# ASDU Database Function Point
# Type Index Code Index
START
1 16 128 17
1 50 160 144
END
Every time the module responds with a Class 1 or Class 2 poll with these points,
the module will update its value to the database.
All the points configured in this section are sent from the slave to the master. The
protocol specification refers to this data flow as the Monitor Direction.
This step should be repeated for each sector.
Step 6 - Command Configuration (Control Direction)
The user might also configure the master to send commands to slaves. The IEC
60870-5-103 protocol specification refers to this data flow as Control Direction.
The commands include general commands, interrogation requests, and time
synchronization requests. In order to configure a command, the user should refer
to the [IEC-103 Master Commands] section:
[IEC-103 Master Commands]
# Enable Database Poll Session Sector Data Func Point Ovrd Ovrd
# Code Index Interval Index Index Type Code Index Flag Val
START
1 0 0 0 0 6 255 0 0 0
1 10 0 0 0 7 255 0 0 0
END
When sending a General Command, the user might associate the source data
with a register in the MVI46-103M database to be sent to the remote slave. The
following example will send 8 commands to the slave configured as Session
0/Sector 0. When using a General Command, the bit addressing should be used:
# Enable DB Poll Session Sector Data Func Point Ovrd Ovrd
# Code Index Interval Index Index Type Code Index Flag Val

END
The user should refer to the device specification for the Point Index (Information
Number) listing available for control direction.
The module can also send a periodic General Interrogation command in order to
initialize and refresh the event-updated points in its database. The slave keeps a
list of all data subject to General Interrogation.
Step 7 - Transfer the Configuration (on page 37) from the Computer to
the module.

infinite loop that performs the following functions:
3.1.3 SLC Processor Not in Run
Whenever the module detects that the processor has gone out of the Run mode
(that is, Fault or PGM), the protocol ports can be shut down as prescribed in the
user configuration. When the processor is returned to a running state, the module
will resume communications on the network.

IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
3.1.4 Backplane Data Transfer
The MVI46-103M module is unique in the way it utilizes the SLC backplane. All
data for the module is contained in the module's M1 file. Data is moved between
the module and the SLC processor across the backplane using the module's M1
file. The SLC scan rate and the communication load on the module determine the
update frequency of the M1 file. The COP instruction can be used to move data
between user data files and the module's M1 file.
The following illustration shows the data transfer method used to move data
between the SLC processor, the MVI46-103M module and the IEC 60870-5-103
network.
As shown in the previous diagram, all data transferred between the module and
the processor over the backplane is through the M1 file. Ladder logic must be
written in the SLC processor to interface the M-file data with data defined in the
user-defined data files in the SLC. All data used by the module is stored in its
internal database. Data contained in this database is constantly updated with the
M1 file data by the module and requires no SLC ladder logic to implement. The
user database resides in the M1 file at addresses 0 to 3999. Addresses above
3999 are used for special block control of the module.
3.1.5 Data Types and Mapping
When interfacing data in the processor to that of the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol, it
is important that the user understand the mapping of the data types to their
corresponding representation in the modules database. The table that follows

As shown in the table above, all bit types are addressed as bits in the modules
database.
Addressing the Data Types
The following table shows an example of how to address the data types in the
MVI46-103M:
Data Type Address Type Length Example
1 Bit 2 bits
2 Bit 2 bits
3 Word 4 words Address 50 refers to word 50, 51, 52, and 53.
4 Double-word 2 words
5 Bit 12 bits
9 Word 5 words
20 Bit 2 bits
Address 160 refers to first and second bits from
word 10.
Address 160 refers to first and second bits from
word 10.
Address 40 refers to two consecutive words
starting at word 80.
Address 180 refers to 12 consecutive bits
starting at the LSB of word 90.
Address 100 refers to 9 consecutive words
starting at word 100.
Address 160 refers to the first and second bits
from word 10.
Therefore, address 16000 represents bit zero in word 1000 of the module's
database. Short floating-point, 32-bit strings and integrated total values each
occupy a double-word space in the database. Therefore, short float database
address of 100 represents the two words, 200 and 201, in the modules database.
Identification objects are stored as byte values in the modules database.
Identification object address 1000 is stored in the module's database in word
addresses 500 to 505.
When setting the monitored data and commands, each point is defined by its
ASDU type, function code, and information number. Valid function codes are
listed in the following table:
Function Code Symbol Number
Distance Protection T(z) 128
Over-current Protection I>> 160
Transformer Differential
Protection
Line Differential Protection rIl 192
Global Function Type GLB 255
rIt 176
Refer to Protocol Interoperability Documentation for a full listing of the protocol
support offered by the module.
Ladder logic in the SLC can control the module or devices on the serial network
using special control blocks. The following table lists the special control codes
(block numbers) used by the module:

9903 Event Messages from Master port
9950 Command List Error data
9970 Set SLC time using module's time
9971 Set module's time using SLC time
9998 Warm Boot Request from SLC (Block contains no data)
9999 Cold Boot Request from SLC (Block contains no data)
Registers 4000 to 4099 report module status data. This data area should be
copied to a user file for use in the SLC. MVI46-103M Status Data Area (on page
77) contains a listing of the contents of this data area.
Registers 4200 to 4299 are utilized for the transfer of event messages from the
master driver to the SLC. These data are passed to the module when a value of
9903 is placed in register 4200. The ladder logic should copy the information
contained in the block of data and then set register 4200 to 0 to inform the
module that the messages have been accepted.
Registers 4100 to 4199 are used control of the module by the ladder logic. For
example,
if the processor places a value of 9998 in register 4100, the module will perform
a warm-boot operation. If the processor places a value of 9999 in this register,
the module will perform a cold-boot operation. In this application module, both of
these operations perform the same function. They exit the program and then
restart the program. Many of the program parameters set in the user
configuration must be set at program initialization and cannot be set while the
program is running. Therefore, both functions operate the same.
The command functions supported by the module and there data formats are
discussed in the following section.
3.1.6 Command Control Blocks
Block identification codes greater than 9900 are utilized to perform special
functions in the module when placed in the M-file's 4100 register. Each control
block recognized and used by the module is defined in the following sections:
User Constructed Command Block (9901)
Block identification code 9901 issues one or more user constructed commands.
When the module receives a block 9901 identification code, it will place the
included commands into the command queue.

This block and block 9902 should be used when controlling double-point data
points in remote units using general commands. This provides complete control
of the slave devices under ladder logic control. Alternatively, the slaves can be
controlled by changing data in the database and having the data be transferred
using pre-constructed commands in the user's command list. Some points only
accept value of on for control (that is, LED reset or activate characteristic). For
these points, block 9901 and 9902 should only be utilized.
Command Control Block (9902)
The block 9902 identification code is used by the processor to send a list of
commands to be placed in the command queue from the user configured
command list. Commands placed in the queue with this method need not have
their enable bit set in the command list.

These 60 words of data contain the command numbers in
the command list to enable. The commands in the list will be
placed in the command queue for immediate processing by
the module. The first command in the list has an index of 0.
There is no response to this block by the module. The module will place the
selected commands into the command queue and set register 4100 to a value of
0. If the command references a unit that is not defined, the command will not be
placed in the command queue. Normal processing of the command list will
continue after the commands specified in this block are processed.
For digital output control, the use of block 9901 and 9902 is preferred to the use
of the command list. The exact state of the output can be specified in the
command list and then the command can be enabled through the use of block
9902. When the user wishes to execute this command (knowing the state of the
command), can enable the command with the block 9902 request.
Event Message Block (9903)
Block identification code 9903 sends event messages received on the master
port to the processor.
Note: Events are recognized when using a COT=SPONTANEOUS.

Point Index refers to the Data Information Number
This double-word value contains the value for the
point index/function code in the event message. For
ASDU types 1 and 2, this value is only 2 bits wide.
For ASDU type 4, this double-word value contains
the floating-point number (short circuit location).
In order for this feature to be activated, the event pass-through parameter must
be set. When a master driver receives an event message from a controlled
station, it will build an event message corresponding to the event in the event
buffer of the module. This buffer is then sent to the processor when any
messages are present. Therefore, these blocks are sent to the processor on a
high priority. After the block is sent, the event message is removed from the
module's event buffer. The ladder logic should set register 4200 to a value of
zero after processing the event message data.
If too many events are present in the buffer (>200), the module will set the event
message overflow flag in the error/status data area of the normal read data
block. There is no response block to be received by the module from the
processor.

IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
3.2 Master Driver
The master driver supported on each application port of the module emulates an
IEC 60870-5-103 Master device. Configuration of each port is independent and
should be connected to different serial networks.
Each port on the module communicates with one or more controlled stations on
what are referred to as sessions. A session represents a controlled device with a
unique data link layer address. Each session (controlled device) contains one or
more data sets (sectors) that are defined by the vendor of the device. The
following illustration shows these relationships.
Port 0 on the module communicates with 4 sessions (0, 1, 3 and 4) each of which
has their own data set(s). Session 1 only has one sector (all data for device
contained in a single database). This sector is addressed by the master using the
Common address of ASDU value set for the sector in the configuration file.
Session 0 contains two sectors each with their own unique Common address of
ASDU value to identify the sector.
Port 1 is connected to one device on the network. This device is defined in the
Session 2 section of the configuration file. In this example, all data of the device
is stored in a single sector.
Note: The IEC 60870-5-103 specification only supports the unbalanced mode.
No support is given in the protocol for the balanced mode and the module
does not support this mode.
The module supports two application ports. Thirty-two sessions can be defined
on the module with each session being assigned to an application port. Within
each session, up to five sectors can be defined. This system permits a very
flexible assignment of resources in the module. The definition of the data

2 The master will construct control commands using the data in the database
3 The master will send these commands and class polls out on the serial
network
4 Response messages or spontaneous messages generated by controlled
devices on the serial network are received by the master driver

Module Configuration MVI46-103M ♦ SLC Platform
IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
Select the OK command button to apply these settings to the module. Then,
close the I/O Configuration dialog box.
The next step in the module's setup is to define the user defined data areas to
hold the status and read and write database areas. Edit the IEC103M.CFG file
now for the application to implement. Use any text editor to set the values in the
file. You must retain the file name, IEC103M.CFG.
The last step in the module setup is to add the ladder logic. If the example ladder
logic is used, adjust the ladder to fit the application. When the ladder example is
not used, copy the example ladder logic to your application and alter as
necessary.
The module is now set up and ready to be used with your application. Insert the
module in the rack and attach the serial communication cables. Download the
IEC103M.CFG file to the module. Download the new application to the controller
and place the processor in run mode. If all the configuration parameters are set
correctly and the module is attached to a network, the module's Application LED
(APP LED) should remain off and the backplane activity LED (BP ACT) should
blink very rapidly. Refer to the Troubleshooting section if you encounter errors.
Attach a computer or terminal to Debug/Configuration port on the module and
check the status of the module using the resident debugger in the module.
4.2 Module Data
All data related to the MVI46-103M module is stored in a user defined data files
and the module's M1 file. Files should be defined for each data type to be used
with the module. Additionally, a file should be defined to hold the module status
data. The status data should be copied from the M1 file and placed in the
assigned status file. Input (monitor) data should be copied from the user file to
the M1 file and output (command) data should be copied from the user files to
the M1 file.
4.3 Configuration File
The module requires a configuration file (IEC103M.CFG) to operate. This
configuration file configures the module's master drivers, sets up the databases
for the controlled devices and establishes a command list. Each parameter in the
file must be set carefully in order for the application to be implemented
successfully.
The configuration file contains at least the following seven sections with topic
header names enclosed in [ ] characters.:
[Backplane Configuration] Backplane tran sfer p arameter section
[IEC-870-5-103 Master] General Configuration for driver
[IEC-870-5-103 Master Port 0] Configuration for first application port

IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module
[Backplane Configuration] Backplane tran sfer p arameter section
[IEC-870-5-103 Master Port 1] Configuration for second application port
[IEC-103 Master Session x] Definition for each control unit
[IEC-103 Master Session x Sector y] Definition for each sector in each controlled unit
[IEC-103 Master Commands] Command list to control slave units
A set of parameters follows each each section header. Use unique labels under
each section to specify a parameter. Each label in the file must be entered
exactly as shown in the file for the parameter to be identified by the program. If
the module is not considering a parameter, check the label for the data item.
Each parameter's value is separated from the label with the ':' character. This
character is used by the program to delimit the position in the data record where
to start reading data. All data for a parameter must follow the ':' character. There
must be at least one space character between the end of the parameter value
and the following text. An example of a parameter entry is given below:
Baud Rate : 19200 #Baud rate for master port
The parameter label is "Baud Rate" and the parameter value is 19200. The
characters after a numeric parameter value are ignored and can be used to
document the configuration file.
Any record that begins with the '#' character is considered to be a comment.
Comments can be placed anywhere in the file so long as the '#' character is the
first column of the line. Liberal use of comments within the file can ease the use
and interpretation of the data in the file.
Use any text editor to alter the supplied IEC103M.CFG file for the specific
application. You must enter each parameter correctly for successful application
of the module. MVI46-103M Configuration Data Definition (on page 82)
contains a complete listing and definition of all parameters utilized by the module.
The session sections of the configuration file are determined by the number of
sessions set in the configuration file. The sessions are referenced by a zero
based index value. For example, if the module is configured for four sessions, the
configuration file should contain sections for sessions 0 to 3 (that is, [IEC-103
Master Session 0] to [IEC-103 Master Session 3]. Each of these sections will
define the characteristics of the specific controlled device to be interfaced. Within
each session definition, is a parameter that specifies the number of sectors for
the session. For each sector defined for a session, there must exist a [IEC-103
Master Session x Sector y] section. Where the x value represents the session
index and the y value represents sector index. For example if session 0 contains
1 sector, there must be a section with the following name in the configuration file:
[IEC-103 Master Session 0 Sector 0]. The specific sector parameter set and
database is defined in this section.
The last section of the configuration file is the command list definition ([IEC-103
Master Commands]). This section can contain up to 1000 user defined
commands to be executed by the module and sent to the controlled devices.
There is no need to place Class 1 or Class 2 polls in the this list for the controlled

devices as the master driver for each port will execute these automatically when
the port is idle. In order for the port to be idle, make sure that there is idle time
available and that the commands do not constantly utilize the ports. The
command list section starts with a reserved label START and ends with the label
END. Each row in the file corresponds to an individual command with the first
character position in each row left blank (white space). The contents of each
command record is outlined in the following table:
Col Field Description

This parameter sets the ASDU data type to be used with the message.
The codes specified are those defined for the IEC-870-5-103 protocol. The
following is a listing of command control data types supported in this
module:
Type Description
0 Special command
6 Time synchronization
7 General interrogation
20 General command (2 bit control)
The type 0 is not defined in the protocol specification but is added to the
module application to perform special commands. The command to be
issued is determined by the value of the function field. If the function is set
to 1, the module will issue a reset process command to the session
specified. If the function is set to 2, the module will a class 2 poll to the
selected session.
This parameter specifies the function code as specified in the protocol
specification except when Data Type code 0 is used. For the general
commands, this field is used in conjunction with the Point Index to
determine the point to control in the remote slave device. For the special
commands, a value of 1 performs a reset process and 2 to issue a class 2
poll.
This parameter along with the Function Code determines the point to
control in the remote device when the general command is utilized. For all
other commands this field is ignored.
This field is used with general commands to determine if the override or
database value should be used with the command. If the flag is set to 0,
the value in the module's database will be sent when the command is
issued. If the flag is set to 1 (or non-zero value), the value set in the
Override Value will be sent with the command. When the override flag and
value are utilized, the Enable Code 2 and Database Index can be used to
trigger the execution of the command.
This parameter specifies the override value to use with the command if the
Override Flag is set. This value should have one of the following values:
1=Off and 2=On. Other values maybe valid for certain controlled
As an alternative to using a command list, blocks with an identification code of
9901 can be used to issue commands from the ladder logic.

In This Chapter
Main Routine.......................................................................... 41
Data Transfer (U:3) ................................................................ 42
Control Routine (U:4) ............................................................. 43
Ladder logic is required for application of the MVI46-103M module. Tasks that
must be handled by the ladder logic are data transfer, special block handling and
status data receipt. This section discusses each aspect of the ladder logic as
required by the module. Additionally, a power-up handler should be written to
handle the initialization of the module's data and to clear any processor fault
conditions.
5.1 Main Routine
The main routine is used to call the data transfer and control subroutines. An
example of the main routine is shown in the following two rungs:

5.2 Data Transfer (U:3)
The data transfer routine is responsible for placing all the output data into the M1
file and for retrieving all the input data from the M1 file. The following two rungs
transfer the data between the M1 file and the user data files. The first rung
transfers monitored data received by the master driver into the user data files.
The following rung transfers the control data from the SLC to the master driver.
The next rung transfers the module's status data to a user data file. A rung to
perform this operation is as follows:
The last rung displays a simple example of retrieving event message data from
the M1 file:
After the data is moved to the user file, word 4200 in the M1 file is set to zero.
This informs the module that the message was received and that more

messages can be accepted. More ladder logic is required if this data is to be
utilized by the processor or an attached data logger.
The next rung shows how to handle a module response to block 9970 in order to
read the date and time information from the MVI module:
5.3 Control Routine (U:4)
The control routine is responsible for controlling the module or handling requests
from the module using the control registers (M1:1.4100 to 4199).
The following rung requests the cold-boot operation for the module. Placing the
value 9999 in the first control register makes this request. When the module
recognizes this value in the control register, it performs the cold-boot operation.

The next rung displays an example of building a 9901 block to send a user
command to a controlled device:
This rung copies the command to issue from the user file into the M1 file and sets
the command count to 1. The last operation on the M1 file is to set the command
code 9901 in to the file. The module will place all valid commands received in
9901 blocks into the command queue for execution.
The next rung demonstrates the use of the 9902 block:
This rung requests that the single command number 1 in the user command list
be placed into the command queue.

Required Software ................................................................. 49
Using the Configuration/Debug Port....................................... 49
LED Status Indicators ............................................................ 69
This section provides information on diagnostics and troubleshooting in three
forms:
Status data values are transferred from the module to the controller tags in
the SLC processor.
All 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
modules status.
6.1 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.
6.1.1 Navigation
All of the sub-menus for this module contain commands to redisplay the menu or
return to the previous menu. You can always return from a sub-menu to the next
higher menu by pressing [Z] on your keyboard.

The organization of the menu structure is represented in simplified form in the
following illustration:
The remainder of this section shows you the menus available for this module,
and briefly discusses the commands available to you.
Keystrokes
The keyboard commands on these menus are almost always non-case sensitive.
You can enter most commands in lower case or capital letters.
The menus use a few special characters ([?], [-], [+], [@]) that must be entered
exactly as shown. Some of these characters will require you to use the [Shift],
[Ctrl] or [Alt] keys to enter them correctly. For example, on US English
keyboards, enter the [?] command as [Shift][/].
Also, take care to distinguish capital letter [I] from lower case letter [l] (L) and
number [1]; likewise for capital letter [O] and number [0]. Although these
characters look nearly the same on the screen, they perform different actions on
the module.
6.2 Required Hardware
You can connect directly from your computer's serial port to the serial port on the
module to view configuration information, perform maintenance, and send
(upload) or receive (download) configuration files.
ProSoft Technology recommends the following minimum hardware to connect
your computer to the module:
80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)
1 megabyte of memory
At least one serial communications port available

6.3 Required Software
In order to send and receive data over the serial port (COM port) on your
computer to the module, you must use a communication program (terminal
emulator).
A simple communication program called HyperTerminal is pre-installed with
recent versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are connecting
from a machine running DOS, you must obtain and install a compatible
communication program. The following table lists communication programs that
have been tested by ProSoft Technology.
DOS ProComm, as well as several other terminal emulation programs
Windows 3.1 Terminal
Windows 95/98 HyperTerminal
Windows NT/2000/XP HyperTerminal
The module uses the Ymodem file transfer protocol to send (download) and
receive (upload) configuration files from your computer. If you use a
communication program that is not on the list above, please be sure that it
supports Ymodem file transfers.
6.4 Using the Configuration/Debug Port
To connect to the module's Configuration/Debug port:
1 Connect your computer to the module's port using a null modem cable.
2 Start the communication program on your computer and configure the
communication parameters with the following settings:
Baud Rate 57,600
Parity None
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Software Handshaking XON/XOFF
3 Open the connection. When you are connected, press the [?] key on your
keyboard. If the system is set up properly, you will see a menu with the
module name followed by a list of letters and the commands associated with
them.
If there is no response from the module, follow these steps:

7.1 Cable Connections
The application ports on the MVI46-103M module support RS-232, RS-422, and
RS-485 interfaces. Please check the module to ensure that the jumpers are set
correctly to correspond with the type of interface you are using.
Note: When using RS-232 with radio modem applications, the module requires
hardware handshaking.

When the RS-232 interface is selected, the use of the modem control lines is
user definable. If no modem control lines will be used, the cable to connect to the
port is as shown below:
RS-232 -- Modem Connection
This type of connection is required between the module and a modem or other
communication device.
The "Use CTS Line" parameter for the port configuration should be set to 'Y' for
most modem applications.

RS-232 -- Null Modem Connection (Hardware Handshaking)
This type of connection is used when the device connected to the module
requires hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines).
RS-232 -- Null Modem Connection (No Hardware Handshaking)
This type of connection can be used to connect the module to a computer or field
device communication port.
NOTE: If the port is configured with the "Use CTS Line" set to 'Y', then a jumper
is required between the RTS and the CTS line on the module connection.

If communication in the RS-422/RS-485 mode does not work at first, despite all
attempts, try switching termination polarities. Some manufacturers interpret +/and A/B polarities differently.
7.2 Setting Jumpers
If you use an interface other than RS-232 (default), you must change the jumper
configuration to match the interface. The following illustration shows the MVI46103M jumper configuration:

configuration/debug port. It can be used to
identify the module and the configuration
file.
This parameter specifies the number of
successive transfer errors that must occur
before the communication ports are shut
down. If the parameter is set to 0, the
communication ports will continue to
operate under all conditions. If the value is
set larger than 0 (1-65535),
communications will cease if the specified
number of failures occur.
This parameter specifies if event messages
received on the master ports will be passed
to the processor. If the parameter is set to
N, event messages will not be passed to
the processor. If the parameter is set to Y,
the module will pass all events received to
the processor using block identifier 9903.

(port). Values from 110 to 19200K are
permitted.
This parameter sets the parity to be used
on the port. The values correspond to the
following settings: None, Odd, Even.
NOTE: the specification only utilizes Even
Parity.
The parameter sets the RTS presend
delay. The value entered represents the
number of milliseconds the module will wait
after setting the RTS modem line before
sending the data.
This parameter sets the RTS off delay. The
value entered represents the number of
milliseconds the module will wait after the
data packet is sent before dropping the
RTS modem line.
This parameter specifies the minimum
number of milliseconds to delay before
sending the message (setting RTS high).
This can be used when the serial network
requires time for units to turn off their
transmitters.
This value represents the number of
milliseconds to wait on a port from the time
the first character is received until the last
character in the longest message received
on the port. This parameter should be set
dependent on the baud rate. A value of
