Battery Life Advisory

All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 512K SRAM memory, real-time clock, and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module.

The module must be powered for approximately twenty hours before it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K SRAM memory for approximately 21 days.

Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days (15 for the PC56). When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.

Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

In This Chapter

 Introduction............................................................................................35

Commands ............................................................................................ 36



Ladder logic is required for application of the MVI56-S3964R module. Tasks that must be handled by the ladder logic are module data transfer, special block handling and status data receipt. Additionally, a power-up handler may be needed to handle the initialization of the module's data and to clear any processor fault conditions.

The sample ladder logic, on the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM, is extensively commented, to provide information on the purpose and function of each rung. For most applications, the sample ladder will work without modification.

3.1 Introduction

The example programs mentioned in the following paragraphs illustrate the principle of how to communicate between an processor. All programs mentioned were tested with appropriate communication partners.

It is up to the programmer to examine the programs in detail and integrate them into the ControlLogix processor application.

The following setups/limitations are to be observed in the example programs:

Changes according to the requirements of your ControlLogix system are recommended for setups only. Limitations must not be changed.

Setup: The MVI56-S3964R resides in slot 2 of the ControlLogix chassis.

 

Setup: The 1756-L series controller resides in slot 0 of the ControlLogix

chassis.

4 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

In This Chapter

 Reading Status Data from the Module .................................................. 37

LED Status Indicators............................................................................ 47



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 MVI56-3964R module returns a 31-word Status Data Block (page 65) that may be used to determine the module's operating status.

This data is transferred to the ControlLogix processor every time the module does not have 3964R communication data to send to the processor.

The Configuration/Debug port provides the following functionality:

 Full view of the module's configuration data  View of the module's status data  Version Information  Control over the module (warm boot, cold boot, transfer configuration)

4.1.1 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 UART hardware-based serial communications port available.

USB-based virtual UART systems (USB to serial port adapters) often do not function reliably, especially during binary file transfers, such as when uploading/downloading configuration files or module firmware upgrades.

 A null modem serial cable.

Ladder Logic

Ladder logic programming in the ControlLogix processor is required in order to enable and support the Siemens 3964R protocol functionality. The ladder program handles the encoding/decoding of data transferred from the module as well as the initiation of protocol-specific functionality in the module. Example ladder programs are provided with the module to simplify the implementation of the module in the user application.

5.2 Functional Overview

5.2.1 Products in the Environment

The 3964R protocol can be installed in all local ControlLogix chassis with at least one controller.

You can obtain more information about ControlLogix and the ControlLogix environment through your Rockwell Automation branch office.

Product Compatibility

The communication between the MVI56 and the ControlLogix processor is realized through the module's Input/Output Images.

5.2.2 3964R Protocol Overview

The 3964R Protocol in General

The 3964R protocol defined by Siemens is used for bi-directional data exchange between two peers through a bit-serial point-to-point connection. This protocol may be additionally embedded in the RK512 telegram level. If 3964R is used with RK512, each participant can send jobs to its partner and has read and write access

(DB-SEND) to the partner's data. The data exchange is realized

in the form of messages and response messages. The maximum user data volume is 512 byte per job and 128 byte per message.

3964R without RK512 allows only block wise sending and receiving of data. The detailed handshake procedure through messages and response messages is not applicable in this case.

(DB-FETCH)

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 53 of 78 April 17, 2008

MVI56-S3964RT ♦ TControlLogix PlatformT Reference TSiemens 3964R ProtocolT

If both partners want to send a job (3964R with RK512) or data (3964R without RK512) at the same time, the resulting initialization conflict will be solved through the high/low priority setup. In such a case one partner will be allocated high priority and the other one low priority. Thus, in case of an initialization conflict the device with low priority will defer its job whereas the device with the high priority will be able to send a job.

The safety of data transmission on the line is guaranteed by a

BCC checksum.

You should have sufficient knowledge about the 3964R protocol in order to understand the operation of the driver for the efficient use of the example programs.

MVI56-S3964R and to make

MVI56-S3964R Operation

The protocol realized on the

MVI56-S3964R has the following special features:

 Immediately after power-up and completion of the internal/external

initialization procedures the

MVI56-S3964R with installed 3964R protocol is ready to serve as an interface between a ControlLogix processor and one or two communication partners using 3964R protocol. The parameterization of the module is realized through a configuration file. This is where a differentiation between the communication modes 3964R with RK512 and 3964R without RK512 takes place.

 The communication mode 3964R without RK512 supports processing of up to

512 bytes.

 The serial transmission parameters are optional and can be allocated

independently to each interface. Possible baud rates are 300 to 115200 following parity setups are possible:

Even, Odd and None.

Module Power Up

On power up the module begins performing the following logical functions:

 Initialize hardware components

Initialize ControlLogix backplane driver

Test and Clear all RAM

Initialize the serial communication ports

 Read module configuration from the Compact Flash  Initialize Module Register space  Set up the communication interface for the debug/configuration port

When this initialization procedure is complete, the module will begin communicating with other nodes on the network, depending on the configuration.

Job Identifier

The job identifiers are defined as follows:

Send jobs to a CP:

Job: Identifier:

3964R with RK512: DB-SEND to CP 0041hex

3964R with RK512: DB-FETCH to CP 0045hex

The MVI56-S3964R receives jobs from a CP automatically without extra parameterization. To differentiate the header data the header to the user data received and transfers it to the ControlLogix processor.

Receive jobs from a CP

Job: Identifier:

3964R with RK512: DB-SEND from CP 1141hex

3964R with RK512: DB-FETCH from CP 1145hex

MVI56-S3964R adds a

Data Block (DB)

Number of the data block. This data block must exist in the communication partner (3964R with RK512 only, otherwise to be set to "0").

Data Word (DW)

Number of the data word in the selected data block. The selected data block must contain this number (3964R with RK512 only, otherwise to be set to "0").

Number of Data Words/Data Bytes

Dependent on the type of communication mode used on port 1/2 of the module, this value will be interpreted as number of data words. This value defines whether a job will be carried out with or without subsequent telegram. For jobs without subsequent telegram the value will be 1 ... 64 words (1 … 128 bytes), and for jobs with subsequent telegram(s) it will be 65 ... 256 words (129 … 512 bytes).

Coordination Byte 9/10

3964R with RK512 send jobs offer the possibility of entering so called coordination bytes (byte 9 and 10 in the RK512 telegram header). Otherwise to be set to "0".

Data Type

The send message can request a data type of Data Words (44h) or Marker (4Dh). If the value is 0 (zero), then data words is used.

Receive Jobs

To receive jobs from a CP only, no additional parameterization is necessary. The user data received is stored in a file in the ControlLogix processor.

The following table shows an example of the data

stored in HeaderCom1 in case

of a DB-Send from a CP. The CP is connected to port 1.

= This is the total number of data words for the whole job.

= This is the number of data words stored in RecvDataCom1.

The user data is copied to

RecvDataCom1. This is the file you should operate

with.

For port 2, which is similar to port 1, the file for storing the user data received is called

RecvDataCom2.

Send Jobs

To send a job to a CP, the next step is to define the appropriate header for the job. The following table shows an example of the header data for a DB-Send job to a CP with the following parameters:

DB = 10, DW = 0, 128 words, coordination byte 9 = FFhex, coordination byte 10 = FFhex, Data Type = 44hex.

Word: High Byte: Low Byte:

0 0041hex

1 00 10

2 00 0

3 80hex (= 128dec)

4 FFhex FFhex

5 00 44hex

6 00 00

7 00 00

8 00 00

9 00 00

A DB-Fetch job will be parameterized similar to the example above.

To send with 3964R without RK512 to a CP (identifier 00FFhex), the values for DB, DW and the coordination bytes will be ignored and can be set to "0".

The next step is to copy the user data into the appropriate files of the ControlLogix processor.

5.2.5 Job Processing

Both ports can be used independently from each other (multi tasking).

A possible initialization conflict will be solved as follows:

MVI56-S3964R has "High Priority":

The MVI56-S3964R retries the sending of the 3964R start character (STX) 3 times and waits for the CP to send the 3964R acknowledge (DLE). If the CP does not send the acknowledge as expected the communication will fail and has to be restarted.

MVI56-S3964R has "Low Priority":

The MVI56-S3964R rejects its send job and sends the 3964R acknowledge (DLE) to the CP.

Important: If the MVI56-S3964R has rejected its send job due to "Low Priority", you must restart its send job completely (starting with the copyin g of the job data).

5.3 Cable Connections

The application ports on the MVI56-S3964R module support RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces. Please look at 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, some radios or modems require hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines). Enable this in the configuration of the module by setting the U s eCTS parameter to 1.

5.3.1 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:

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.

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.

5.3.2 RS-232

When the RS-232 interface is selected, the use of hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines) is user definable. If no hardware handshaking will be used, the cable to connect to the port is as shown below:

5.3.3 RS-232 Cable

The assignment of the RS-232 connection cable between PRT1/2 (9 pole) and CP-544 (25 pole) is as follows:

PRT1/2 Pin Description CP 544 Pin Description

2 RxD 2 TxD

3 TxD 3 RxD

5 Gnd 7 Gnd

Important: The other pins of the RS-232 must not be used.

5.3.4 RS-422

RS-422 Tip

If communication in the RS-422 mode does not work at first, despite all attempts, try switching termination polarities. Some manufacturers interpret +/- and A/B polarities differently.

6.2 Return Material Authorization (RMA) Policies and Conditions

The following RMA Policies and Conditions apply to any returned product. These RMA Policies are subject to change by ProSoft without notice. For warranty information, see Section C below entitled "Limited Warranty". In the event of any inconsistency between the RMA Policies and the Warranty, the Warranty shall govern.

Page 68 of 78 ProSoft Technology, Inc.

April 17, 2008

Support, Service & Warranty MVI56-S3964RT ♦ TControlLogix PlatformT TSiemens 3964R ProtocolT

6.2.1 All Product Returns

1 In order to return a Product for repair, exchange or otherwise, the Customer

must obtain a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number from ProSoft and comply with ProSoft shipping instructions.

2 In the event that the Customer experiences a problem with the Product for

any reason, Customer should contact ProSoft Technical Support at one of the telephone numbers listed above in Section A. A Technical Support Engineer will request several tests in an attempt to isolate the problem. If after these tests are completed, the Product is found to be the source of the problem, ProSoft will issue an RMA.

3 All returned Products must be shipped freight prepaid, in the original shipping

container or equivalent, to the location specified by ProSoft, and be accompanied by proof of purchase. The RMA number is to be prominently marked on the outside of the shipping box. Customer agrees to insure the Product or assume the risk of loss or damage in transit. Products shipped to ProSoft without an RMA number will be returned to the Customer, freight collect. Contact ProSoft Technical Support for further information.

4 Out of warranty returns are not allowed on RadioLinx accessories such as

antennas, cables, and brackets.

The following policy applies for Non-Warranty Credit Returns:

A 10% Restocking Fee if Factory Seal is

not broken

B 20% Restocking Fee if Factory Seal is broken

ProSoft retains the right, in its absolute and sole discretion, to reject any nonwarranty returns for credit if the return is not requested within three (3) months after shipment of the Product to Customer, if the Customer fails to comply with ProSoft's shipping instructions, or if the Customer fails to return the Product to ProSoft within six (6) months after Product was originally shipped.

6.3 Procedures for Return of Units Under Warranty

1 A Technical Support Engineer must pre-approve all product returns. 2 Module is repaired or replaced after a Return Material Authorization Number

is entered and a replacement order is generated.

3 Credit for the warranted item is issued within 10 business days after receipt of

product and evaluation of the defect has been performed by ProSoft. The credit will only be issued provided the product is returned with a valid Return Material Authorization Number and in accordance with ProSoft's shipping instructions.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 69 of 78 April 17, 2008

MVI56-S3964RT ♦ TControlLogix PlatformT Support, Service & Warranty TSiemens 3964R ProtocolT

a) If no defect is found, a credit is issued.

b) If a defect is found and is determined to be customer generated or if the

defect is otherwise not covered by ProSoft's Warranty, or if the module is not repairable, a credit is not issued and payment of the replacement module is due.

6.4 Procedures for Return of Units Out of Warranty

1 Customer sends unit in for evaluation. 2 If no defect is found, Customer will be charged the equivalent of US $100

plus shipping, duties and taxes that may apply. A new Purchase Order will be required for this evaluation fee.

If the unit is repaired the charge to the Customer will be 30%* of the list price plus any shipping, duties and taxes that may apply. A new Purchase Order will be required for a product repair.

3 For an immediate exchange, a new module may be purchased and sent to

Customer while repair work is being performed. Credit for purchase of the new module will be issued when the new module is returned in accordance with ProSoft's shipping instructions and subject to ProSoft's policy on nonwarranty returns. This is in addition to charges for repair of the old module and any associated charges to Customer.

4 If, upon contacting ProSoft Customer Service, the Customer is informed that

unit is believed to be unrepairable, the Customer may choose to send unit in for evaluation to determine if the repair can be made. Customer will pay shipping, duties and taxes that may apply. If unit cannot be repaired, the Customer may purchase a new unit.

 Additional 1 year = 10% of list price  Additional 2 years = 20% of list price  Additional 3 years = 30% of list price

6.5 LIMITED WARRANTY

This Limited Warranty ("Warranty") governs all sales of hardware, software and other products (collectively, "Product") manufactured and/or offered for sale by ProSoft, and all related services provided by ProSoft, including maintenance, repair, warranty exchange, and service programs (collectively, "Services"). By purchasing or using the Product or Services, the individual or entity purchasing or using the Product or Services ("Customer") agrees to all of the terms and provisions (collectively, the "Terms") of this Limited Warranty. All sales of software or other intellectual property are, in addition, subject to any license agreement accompanying such software or other intellectual property.

6.5.1 What Is Covered By This Warranty

A Warranty On New Products: ProSoft warrants, to the original purchaser only,

that the Product that is the subject of the sale will (1) conform to and perform in accordance with published specifications prepared, approved, and issued by ProSoft, and (2) will be free from defects in material or workmanship; provided these warranties only cover Product that is sold as new. This Warranty expires one year (or in the case of RadioLinx modules, three years) from the date of shipment (the "Warranty Period"). If the Customer discovers within the Warranty Period a failure of the Product to conform to specifications, or a defect in material or workmanship of the Product, the Customer must promptly notify ProSoft by fax, email or telephone. In no event may that notification be received by ProSoft later than 15 months (or in the case of RadioLinx modules, 39 months) from the date of delivery. Within a reasonable time after notification, ProSoft will correct any failure of the Product to conform to specifications or any defect in material or workmanship of the Product, with either new or used replacement parts. Such repair, including both parts and labor, will be performed at ProSoft's expense. All warranty service will be performed at service centers designated by ProSoft. If ProSoft is unable to repair the Product to conform to this Warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, ProSoft will provide, at its option, one of the following: a replacement product, a full refund of the purchase price or a credit in the amount of the purchase price. All replaced product and parts become the property of ProSoft. These remedies are the Customer's only remedies for breach of warranty.

B With the exception of RadioLinx accessories referenced in paragraph 1(c)

this Warranty does not cover any product, components, or parts not manufactured by ProSoft.

C This Warranty also does not cover the failure of the Product to perform

specified functions, or any other non-conformance, defects, losses or damages caused by or attributable to any of the following: (i) shipping; (ii) improper installation or other failure of Customer to adhere to ProSoft's specifications or instructions; (iii) unauthorized repair or maintenance; (iv) attachments, equipment, options, parts, software, or user-created programming (including, but not limited to, programs developed with any IEC 61131-3 programming languages, or "C") not furnished by ProSoft; (v) use of the Product for purposes other than those for which it was designed; (vi) any other abuse, misapplication, neglect or misuse by the Customer; (vii) accident, improper testing or causes external to the Product such as, but not limited to, exposure to extremes of temperature or humidity, power failure or power surges outside of the limits indicated on the product specifications; or (viii) disasters such as fire, flood, earthquake, wind or lightning.
