1747-ASB module features

setup and operational overview

The 1747-ASB module is an SLC 500 single-slot, RIO communication link module. It occupies the first slot (slot 0) of a 1746 remote chassis, where the SLC processor normally resides.

The 1747-ASB module is an adapter, or slave, on the RIO link, and the master of the remote chassis and remote expansion chassis it is installed in. Remote expansion chassis are optional. It acts as a gateway between the scanner and the I/O modules residing in the remote chassis and remote expansion chassis. The 1747-ASB module maps the image of the I/O modules in its remote chassis and remote expansion chassis directly to the SLC or PLC processor image.

Output data is sent from the scanner of either the SLC or PLC local chassis to the 1747-ASB module across the RIO link. This data is automatically transferred to the output modules across the chassis backplane by the 1747-ASB module. Inputs from the input modules are collected via the backplane by the 1747-ASB module and sent back to the scanner across the RIO link. No user programming of the 1747-ASB module is necessary.

1-2 Overview

Remote I/O Overview

To better understand the use of the 1747-ASB module, you should have an understanding of the RIO link. The RIO link is an Allen-Bradley communications system supporting high-speed transfer of control information. An RIO link consists of a single master device and one or more slave devices. The master device is referred to as the scanner. The slave devices are referred to as adapters (such as the 1747-ASB module).

RIO scanners and adapters work together to serially communicate PLC or SLC processor data to remotely located I/O devices. PLC and SLC processors exchange inputs and outputs with scanners. Scanners exchange inputs and outputs with adapters located on the RIO link. The adapter's control is based on the adapter type.

How The Scanner Interacts With Adapters

The scanner's function is to continuously scan the adapters on the RIO link in a consecutive manner. The scan consists of one or more RIO discrete transfers to each adapter on the RIO link.

RIO discrete transfers consist of the scanner sending output image data and communication commands to the adapter that instruct the adapter on how to control its output. (These include run, reset, adapter reset, and reset decide commands.) The adapter responds by sending input data to the scanner. The scanner performs as many RIO discrete transfers as necessary to update the entire adapter image. If RIO discrete transfers do not occur, data is not exchanged between the scanner and adapter.

IMPORTANT

RIO discrete transfers are asynchronous with the

processor scan.

1-4 Overview

Scanner I/O Image Division

The scanner allows each adapter to use a fixed amount (user defined) of the scanner's input and output image. Part of the processor's image is used by local I/O, the other portion is used by the scanner for remote I/O. For a PLC-5, logical rack 0 is dedicated for local I/O.

The scanner's remote I/O image is divided into logical racks and further divided into logical groups. A full logical rack consists of eight input and eight output image words. A logical group consists of one input and one output word in a logical rack. Each logical group is assigned a number from 0 to 7. The number of racks available for remote I/O depends on the scanner you are using.

Image

The scanner image also contains the image of each adapter on the RIO link. The adapter is assigned a portion of the scanner image, which is referred to as the adapter image.

Crossing Logical Rack Boundaries

Adapter image size is expressed in an even number of groups. For example, the 1747-ASB module image can be any size between 2 logical groups and 32 logical groups (4 logical racks), in 2 logical group increments.

If the adapter's image size is greater than 8 logical groups, the image crosses logical rack boundaries. If an adapter's image size is less than 8 logical groups, it too can cross a logical rack boundary depending upon the starting logical group number. The significance of crossing logical rack boundaries is discussed in the next section.

Creating More Than One Logical Device by Crossing a Logical Rack Boundary

RIO discrete transfers occur on a logical device basis, not an adapter basis. A logical device is any portion of a logical rack that is assigned to a single adapter.

When an adapter's image is more than one logical device, the scanner sees the single adapter as multiple adapters on the RIO link. The scanner communicates with each logical device independently, even if the logical devices are all assigned to one adapter. If an adapter image is more than one logical device, the following is true:

Not all of the adapter image is updated by the scanner at the same time. The number of logical devices determines the number of RIO discrete transfers that are needed to update the entire adapter image.

Publication 1747-UM006B-EN-P - June 2003

1-6 Overview

The adapter may receive different communication commands for each logical device. In this case, the adapter decides which command it responds to.

Scanner Input or Output Image

In this example, two RIO discrete transfers are required for the scanner to update the adapter image containing two logical devices.

To understand how an adapter's logical devices are assigned, use appendix D to determine the address configuration of your remote I/O modules. You may then want to reassign certain adapters so their images do not cross logical rack boundaries, allowing the scanner to update their images in one RIO discrete transfer.

 

The 1747-ASB module always functions as one

IMPORTANT

adapter on the RIO link, even though it may contain

 

 

 

more than one logical device. For example, the

 

1747-ASB module does not begin normal operation

 

until all of its logical devices are receiving RIO

 

discrete transfers from the scanner.

 

 

Transferring Data With RIO Discrete and Block Transfers

Input and output image data and command information is quickly exchanged between a scanner and adapter using RIO discrete transfers. RIO discrete transfers are the simplest way a scanner and adapter communicate with each other. RIO discrete transfers, which are transparent to the user, consist of the scanner sending the output image data to the adapter, and the adapter transmitting input data to the scanner. Each RIO discrete transfer also contains scanner commands for the adapter.

Publication 1747-UM006B-EN-P - June 2003

Overview 1-7

RIO block transfers are initiated by a special command from the PLC processor, typically when large amounts of data must be exchanged with one specialty I/O module. Block transfers use the basic RIO discrete transfer mechanism of the RIO link. However, the actual transfer of data occurs asynchronous to the discrete transfers. It is possible for several discrete transfers to occur before a block transfer is processed.

RIO Discrete Transfer Example

This example illustrates how additional discrete transfers are required when an adapter image crosses logical rack boundaries. It consists of one scanner and three adapters. Adapter 1 requires one RIO discrete transfer from the scanner to update its entire image. Adapter 2 requires two RIO discrete transfers to update its image. Adapter 3 requires three RIO discrete transfers to update its image.

1-8 Overview

Physical and Logical RIO Link Specifications

The maximum number of adapters that your scanner can communicate with is determined by the scanner and adapter's physical and logical specifications, as described below:

Physical Specifications are the maximum number of adapters that can be connected to the scanner. For more information, see Extended Node Capability below.

Logical Specifications for the scanner are the maximum number of logical racks the scanner can address, how the logical racks can be assigned, and whether the scanner can perform block transfers.

For adapters, logical specification refers to the maximum size of the adapter's RIO image.

Extended Node Capability

Both scanners and adapters can have extended node capability. Extended node capability allows you to use an 82 Ohm termination resistor at both ends of the RIO link for all baud rates. Extended node capability also allows for up to 32 adapters to be placed on the RIO link.

Extended node capability can only be used if the scanner and all adapters on the RIO link have extended node capability. The 1747-ASB module has extended node capability.

The tables on pages 1-10 and 1-11 provide lists of compatible RIO scanners and adapters.

The 1747-ASB module is compatible with all Allen-Bradley scanners. Scanners that do not support RIO block transfers do not work with all of the I/O modules supported by the 1747-ASB module. For example, the Catalog Number 1747-SN Series A, RIO Scanner does not work with a Catalog Number 1746-BAS, BASIC module because the scanner does not support RIO block transfer.

Status Display and LEDs

The Status Display provides alphanumeric status of the 1747-ASB module and RIO link. When combined with the COMM and FAULT LEDs, they are very effective troubleshooting tools.

DIP Switches

The 1747-ASB module's three DIP switches allow you to configure the following items:

Starting Logical Rack Number (Logical Rack) - is the 1747-ASB module's starting logical rack number in the scanner's image.

Starting Logical Group Number (Logical Group) - is the 1747-ASB module's starting logical group number within the scanner's image.

Publication 1747-UM006B-EN-P - June 2003

1-12 Overview

Baud Rate (Baud Rate) - is the 1747-ASB module's RIO link communication rate. The baud rate must be the same for all adapters on the RIO link.

Primary/Complementary SLC Chassis (PRI/COMP) - determines whether the 1747-ASB module appears to the scanner as a primary or complementary chassis.

Adapter Image Size (IMAGE SIZE) - indicates the I/O image size to be reserved for the adapter. It can be any size between 2 and 32 groups in two logical group increments.

Hold Last State (HLS) - determines whether the discrete output modules are held in their last state when:

RIO link communication with the 1747-ASB module is lost.

The scanner inhibits the 1747-ASB module.

The scanner sends Reset, Adapter Decide commands to the 1747-ASB module.

Processor Restart Lockout (PRL) - determines whether the 1747-ASB module automatically resumes RIO link communications if communication is lost and then restored.

Link Response Time (RESP) - selects restricted or unrestricted RIO link response time.

Last Chassis (LAST CHA) - When the 1747-ASB module is used with a PLC-2 or PLC-5, this switch indicates to the scanner that the 1747-ASB module is the last adapter mapped into the 1747-ASB module's highest logical rack.

Addressing Mode (ADDR MODE) - determines the 1747-ASB module's remote chassis and remote expansion chassis addressing mode. 2-slot, 1-slot, and 1/2-slot is available.

Specialty I/O Mode (SP MODE) - determines whether the 1747-ASB module discretely maps or block transfer maps specialty I/O modules in its remote chassis and remote expansion chassis.

I/O Module Keying (KEY) - determines if the 1747-ASB module saves its current I/O module and DIP switch configuration to its non-volatile memory, or if the 1747-ASB module compares the current I/O module and DIP switch configuration to the one saved in its non-volatile memory.

Required Tools and

Equipment

Quick Start for Experienced Users

This chapter helps you to get started using the 1747-ASB module. We base the procedures here on the assumption that you have an understanding of PLC and SLC 500 products, as well as the RIO link. You should understand electronic process control and be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions required to generate the electronic signals that control your application.

Because it is a start-up guide for experienced users, this chapter does not contain detailed explanations about the procedures listed. It does, however, reference other chapters in this book where you can get more detailed information.

If you have any questions, or are unfamiliar with the terms used or concepts presented in the procedural steps, always read the referenced chapters before trying to apply the information.

This chapter:

tells you what tools and equipment you need

lists preliminary considerations

describes when to address and configure the module

explains how to install and wire the module

discusses system power-up procedures

Have the following tools and equipment ready:

medium blade screwdriver

(2) 1/2 watt terminating resistors (See chapter 5, Installation and Wiring, for correct size.)

an adequate length of RIO communication cable (Belden 9463) for your specific application (See Chapter 5 Installation and Wiring, for maximum cable distances.)
