1 2 dditional Information
The Resource AutoMax Executive software incorporates the Norton Editor and a version of Kermit communication software. The operation of these two software packages within AutoMax is transparent to the user. In order to avoid duplication, this manual will refer the user to the instruction manuals describing the Norton EditorJ@3618 and Kermit Software J@3616 . If you will be using these two software packages, it is important that you become familiar with them as you learn about AutoMax.
Information about personal computers in this manual is general enough to apply to most of the personal computers that can be used to run the AutoMax Executive Software. For any specific questions about your personal computer, the DOS operating system, or the printer you are using, refer to the documentation that came with your personal computer or printer.

AutoMax Programming Executive Version 3.x |
2 0 INTRODUCTION TO THEutoMax DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM
AutoMax is a programmable, microprocessor9based control system capable of performing real9time control with millisecond response time. Because AutoMax is modular, you can custom9configure the system to meet the specific requirements of your application. In addition, the Processor module operating system is included in the AutoMax Executive software and can be loaded from the same device used for writing application programs.
The available hardware modules include the following: computing, communications, digital input, digital output, analog input, analog output, motion control, and motor and drive control. In addition, the system can be configured to include many other commercially available Multibus9compatible modules.
Typically, an AutoMax system consists of a number of chassis, or racks, containing various modules. Up to 43 racks, each containing at least one Processor module, can be connected together as part of a control network using Network Communication modules. For drive control applications, each AutoMax rack can control up to 20 drives10 UDC modules maximum by using Universal Drive ControllerUDC modules in a rack that also contains at least one AutoMax Processor module. Using Remote Communication modules, any rack containing at least one Processor module can control up to 7 remote I/O subsystems, which do not require Processor modules.
The system is designed to support the sharing of data among Processors in a single rack up to four , as well as among Processors on different racks in a network. Applications can be distributed among multiple Processors and racks. Common data, such as I/O values, is accessible to all Processors simply by referencing the appropriate variable name in a task.
Application programs are created in an MS9DOSt or MS9Windows environment using an 803869compatible personal computer. AutoMax supports three different programming languages: Ladder Logic Language, Control Block Language, and Enhanced BASIC Language. Each of these languages is suited to a different type of task commonly found in the industrial and process control environment. AutoMax Control Block, BASIC, and PC tasks can be executed on an AutoMax Processor. Only UDC Control Block tasks can be executed on a Universal Drive Controller UDC module.
Ladder Logic Language, also known as PC programmable control Language, is used for sequential logic operations. Ladder Logic programming is very much like programming for a conventional programmable controller, incorporating standard ladder diagrams to establish the sequence and types of operations performed. Ladder Logic language is described in instruction manual J93677.
Control Block language is used for programming control loops. The Control Block language consists of BASIC statements that contain special function calls, including amplifiers, integrators, function generators, PID controllers, etc. Control Block language is described in J93676.
Introduction to the AutoMax Distributed Control Sysdtem |
291 |
The Enhanced BASIC language is used for general programming, keyboard and CRT;based operator interfaces, and numeric processing. Enhanced BASIC language is described in J;3675.
Using the AutoMax Executive software, application programs, or tasks, created on the personal computer using Control Block or BASIC are then compiled and downloaded to one or more AutoMax Processor modules or UDC modules in a rack. Application tasks created using Ladder Logic do not need to be compiled before being downloaded. All application tasks can be run, monitored, modified, and stopped from the personal computer using the AutoMax Executive software.
See J;3675, J;3676 and J;3677 for more detailed information about programming for AutoMax systems.

Executive Overview
The remainder of this chapter describes the AutoMax Programming Executive software, which will be referred to as the Executive software from here on. See Appendix R for the features that are new in this release of the Executive software.
AutoMax Executive V3.x uses Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 (or later) to provide a graphic environment for all the software functions necessary to configure the hardware in your application and to create, organize, document, and troubleshoot application tasks on a personal computer. No special commands or syntax are used.
AutoMax Executive V3.x offline functions are contained within a set of four Windows applications: System Configurator, Rack Configurator, Variable Configurator, and Task Manager.
The System Configurator is used to organize the application, or system, into sections. Each section is a functional group of racks. For example, all of the racks for a physical section of a machine could be grouped into a section. See the heading •Application Organization" in this section for more information.
The Rack Configurator is used to configure the modules in a rack; the racks, heads, and rails connected to a remote I/O network; and the two;point modules in digital rails. The Rack Configurator uses a diagram of the AutoMax rack for configuring modules; a diagram of the remote I/O network for configuring remote racks, heads, and rails; and a diagram of the digital rail for configuring two;point modules. In AutoMax Executive V3.x, the Rack Configurator can be used to add the UDC module, specify the PMI and rail hardware, and enter drive parameters.
The Variable Configurator is used to map variables to I/O or memory points. It uses forms specific to the card on which the I/O or memory points reside. Mapping variables to physical locations on individual modules and to common memory locations allows the programmer to create application tasks referencing variable names instead of actual physical locations. This application essentially replaces the text configuration task used in earlier versions of the executive.
The Task Manager is used to develop application tasks. In the offline mode, the Task Manager is used to add, edit, compile, print, and verify tasks. In the online mode, it is used to load, save, run,

stop, and delete tasks on the AutoMax Processor or UD module. Task error logs are viewed and cleared in the Task Manager.
A menu map for AutoMax Executive V3.x is shown in figure 2.1.

Application Organization
It is important to become familiar with the options available in each Windows application and with the hierarchy of information about your specific software application. You must first group all the software for a given application in a system. You then divide the system into sections. Sections are simply collections of racks any number and help organize the system in any manner appropriate to the application, e.g., related function or location.
The most basic level of application organization is the rack. The rack consists of the application tasks for the rack and all the information about the rack, including the modules and variables defined in it. Racks correspond directly to the AutoMax racks which are installed for the application.
To help you document the way in which your application is organized, documentation files can be created for a system, section, rack, or task. These text files can be used to explain design specifications, notes about troubleshooting, or any other information.
For users with numerous specific applications, AutoMax Executive V3.x also allows you to group systems into libraries. Libraries are used to store similar systems, e.g., plating systems. The default library is called AMXLIB and will be sufficient for most users.
The library/system/section/rack hierarchy allows you to structure each application so that it can be easily understood and its parts accessed quickly. It also allows you to carry out operations, e.g., copying, on an entire system, section, or rack.
Introduction to the AutoMax Distributed Control Sysdtem |

2 2 Introduction to Configuring Racks and Variables
Once you create the system/section/rack structure for your application, you can begin to configure the hardware in your installation. Hardware configuration consists of adding modules to each rack (including network and remote racks, UDC modules, and PMI rail hardware) to reflect the actual installation. AutoMax Executive V3.x checks that modules are added properly. For example, a second AutoMax Processor module can be added only after a Common Memory Module (M/N 57C413 or 57C423) has been added. If your application includes modules that are not supported in V3.x, you can use •generic" modules. There are three generic modules: one with 32,768 registers (GEN32K), one with 8000H registers in hex (GEN32KH), and one with 32 registers (GEN32) for use in a remote I/O rack (or in a main rack when 32 registers are sufficient). Note that GEN32K and GEN32KH modules can be used only in a rack that contains an AutoMax Processor module.
After you have added a module, you can map variables to I/O points or common memory on that module using •forms" tailored as required for the specific register organization on each module. This variable configuration •map," along with information about the application tasks for the rack, is stored in databases, and must be compiled and downloaded to the rack along with application tasks before application tasks can run in the rack. This configuration information is sometimes called the configuration task.
After you have completed the physical configuration of your system, you can generate a bill of material which lists all of the racks, heads, rails, and modules used in the system along with the needed batteries, cables, and optional hardware and software. See Appendix L for additional information.
2 3 Introduction to Creating pplication Tasks
After you have configured I/O points and common memory using variable names, you can create application tasks using these variable names instead of locations. You can create BASIC tasks, PC/Ladder Logic tasks, and Control Block tasks. BASIC and Control Block tasks are stored in text files which are edited using a text editor; PC/Ladder Logic tasks are stored in binary files and edited using a custom editor. A text editor (Norton Editor) and the PC Editor are both included with the AutoMax Programming Executive software. In addition, you can create •include" files which are added to a BASIC or Block task when it is compiled (by using the BASIC language INCLUDE statement).
Once the variables have been configured and the application tasks created, you can compile the tasks to create object code that will run on the AutoMax Processor or UDC module(s) in the rack. PC/Ladder Logic tasks are stored as object code and do not need to be compiled.

AutoMax Programming Executive Version 3.x |
Driv Control
Tasks that control Distributed Power Drives (DPS) are stored and executed on UDC (Universal Drive Controller) modules in the rack. UDC tasks are written in control block language. They are referred to as •UDC tasks." See the appropriate DPS programming and configuration instruction manual for more information about UDC tasks.
Multi Tasking
AutoMax Processors are capable of multi:tasking. Each AutoMax Processor can execute multiple application tasks based on a priority basis, sharing common data between tasks. Application task execution can also be coordinated using BASIC language statements and functions in both BASIC and Control Block tasks.
Each UDC module can execute two independent Control Block tasks to control two separate drives of any type, usually referred to as Drive A and Drive B. UDC tasks A and B execute sequentially (task A executes, then B) based on a user:defined interval of 500 msec CCLK signal. If only one task is required, i.e., the UDC module will control only one drive, the drive can be connected through either channel A or B.
The UDC tasks on one module share the data in the dual port memory. UDC tasks cannot, however, share data with tasks on other UDC modules, or with tasks on AutoMax Processors, unless an AutoMax task reads from or writes to the UDC's dual port memory. Only AutoMax tasks can move data between two or more UDC tasks on different UDCs, and between UDC tasks and AutoMax tasks.
The following table illustrates the differences between UDC modules and AutoMax Processors.

2 4 Introduction to Online Operations
Before you can go online to any rack in the system, the operating system, or runbase, for the AutoMax Processor and UDC module(s) must be loaded to the rack. In general, you will only be concerned with the file types listed below for purposes of loading to the rack.
1.Operating system (OS) file
Each Processor module and UDC module must have an operating system file. The operating system for each Processor module in a rack is usually the same. The Processor operating system is included in the Executive software. UDC OS files are included in the separately>purchased DPS software options.
