Document: 553850 Issue 1.2: March 2011

T9110 Processor Module

The T9110 processor module is the central processing unit of an AADvance controller. The processor module carries out the following critical process and safety controller tasks:

 Execution of the AADvance Safety Kernel to solve

application logic

 Interfacing with the controller I/O modules, reading and

processing input data and writing output data

 Communication with other processor modules, both locally

and across the control network

 Initiation of periodic diagnostics for the controller  Communication with other systems such as HMIs  Message encapsulation and verification for secure channel

communication to other nodes

The processor module is galvanically isolated from external power supplies and data links so that any faults developed in the field cannot cause the module to fail. The module will continue to operate in the event of failure of one of its dual redundant 24V dc power supplies. The module incorporates under- and over-voltage protection for its internal power supplies, which provide a 'power valid' signal to the modules own diagnostics microprocessor.

A processor module has two functionally independent, electrically isolated Ethernet ports. Each port is separately configurable for multiple protocols such as Modbus RTU, Open Modbus/TCP and proprietary AADvance protocols, and its data is available to every processor in the controller.

Two serial communications ports per processor are provided for Modbus RTU slave communications. These ports are also functionally and electrically isolated from each other. They support RS-485 (4– and 2–wire) communications and can be configured to support asynchronous data rates from 1,200 to 115,200 baud.

The processor periodically initiates internal diagnostic tests which, together with a watchdog circuit, monitor the processor internal performance. If the tests detect a serious fault, the processor module will shut down. A controller can use one, two or three processor modules. Using two or three processor modules provides a fault tolerant processor architecture.

If a controller uses two or three processor modules, and one processor module develops a fault, plant maintenance personnel can fit a new processor module while the controller is on-line. The new processor module automatically carries out selfeducation and synchronizes with the other processors. Fault detection and fail-over in redundant processor configurations is automatic and has no impact on controller operation.

T9100 Processor Base Unit

Every AADvance controller has one T9100 processor base unit. A processor base unit supports one, two or three modules depending on the architecture chosen for the application.

Document: 553850 Issue 1.2: March 2011

1-7

Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller)

The processor base unit provides the electrical connections between the T9110 processor modules, and the rest of the controller modules and has the following connections:

 Command and response bus connections for up to 48 I/O modules

 Inter-processor links

 Two Ethernet 100 BaseT connectors per processor

 Two serial data connections per processor

 Dual +24v System power

 Ground stud

 Program enable key

The processor base unit holds the IP address of each processor module separately in a BUSP. This means that you can remove a defective processor module and install a new one without needing to set up the IP address of the new module.

T9300 I/O Base Unit (3 way)

The AADvance controller has T9300 I/O base units for the I/O modules. An I/O base unit supports up to three I/O modules (of any type), and their associated termination assemblies.

It contains a passive backplane that provides the electrical connections between the I/O modules and the T9100 processor base unit; i.e. the command and response buses and the system power.

1-8

Document: 553850 Issue 1.2: March 2011

The bus and power connections from the processor base unit enter the backplane at the left connector and are routed direct to the module connectors. The backplane provides a connector at the right for the next I/O backplane. The connection to the left of the backplane can connect to a processor base unit or another I/O base unit.

Adjacent base units clip together and are held in position by a plastic retaining clip. Alternatively rows of I/O base units can be connected together using a T9310 expansion cable assembly.

Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller)

T9401/2 Digital Input Module, 24V dc, 8/16 channel

The T9401/2 digital input module monitors eight (T9401) or sixteen (T9402) isolated digital input channels and notifies the processor module of each field device state and channel condition. Each channel provides both digital state and analogue voltage data to the processor module for field device state, line monitoring and field fault detection.

The input module provides local module and channel status indications through its front panel LEDs, the same indications can be connected to application variables and viewed at the Workbench. Comprehensive diagnostics at both system and module levels generate clear fault indications which help rapid maintenance and repair.

The module incorporates signal and power isolation circuits, which separate each input channel from the rest of the system, protecting the controller from field faults. An independent watchdog arrangement monitors the module operation and provides additional fault containment by a shutdown mechanism should a fault occur.

Digital Input Line Monitoring

Each digital input module parameters is set up through the AADvance Workbench configuration tools. Switching levels for each digital input channel are configurable at the module and the channel level. Each input has five configurable voltage bands (there are eight distinct switching thresholds to allow hysteresis), each of which can be adjusted through the AADvance Workbench to provide line monitoring, field loop monitoring and additional field device diagnostics.

When a controller uses a digital input module in a dual or TMR configuration, plant maintenance personnel can fit a new input module without interrupting the input signals.

T9451 Digital Output Module, 24V dc, 8 channel

The T9451 digital output module interfaces up to eight final elements and can switch 1A at 32V dc for each device. It features voltage and load current monitoring on each channel, reverse current protection and short and open circuit line monitoring. It is designed to always be able to switch off an output when demanded. No single failure within the module can cause a stuck-on failure.The module supports dual redundant power feeds for field devices without the need for external diodes.

The output module isolates the processor module from the output channel control and data management circuits, thus protecting the processor module from potential faults in the output control circuits and field connections.

The output channel protection activates when the channel load exceeds a safe limit. The reverse voltage protection circuit in each output channel ensures that externally applied voltages do not generate current flow into the module outputs.

The module has self-checking functionality. Short circuit and open circuit line monitoring is provided on all outputs. Internal diagnostics carry out ongoing functionality checks ensuring that the output channel command data is correctly transferred to the output. In addition, the processor module initiates a test sequence on each output channel, checking for 'stuck-on' and 'stuck-off' conditions on the output switch pairs.

Front panel LEDs provide module, channel and field connection status indications. These status indications can be connected to application variables and viewed at the AADvance.

When a controller uses a pair of digital output modules in a dual configuration, the two fail-safe output switches on each channel are combined in a parallel arrangement so that they automatically form a fault-tolerant output configuration.

T9431/2 Analogue Input Module, 8/16 Channel

The T9431/2 analogue input module monitors eight (T9431) or sixteen (T9432) isolated analogue input channels and notifies the processor module of the field device value and channel condition. Each channel provides digital state and analogue process value data to the processor for process monitoring, line monitoring and field fault detection.

The input module provides local module and channel status indications through its front panel LEDs, the same indications can be connected to application variables and viewed at the Workbench. Comprehensive diagnostics at both system and module levels provide clear indications which help rapid maintenance and repair.

Analogue Input Line Monitoring

Each analogue input module is set up through the AADvance Workbench. Monitoring levels for each analogue input channel are configurable at the module and the channel level. The default parameters are

 Fault: 0 to 3.8mA

 Normal: 3.8 to 22.0mA

 Fault: > 22.0mA

Each input has five configurable voltage bands (there are eight distinct switching thresholds to allow hysteresis), each of which can be adjusted to provide line monitoring and field device diagnostics.

When a controller uses an analogue input module in a dual or TMR configuration, plant operations personnel can fit a new input module without interrupting the input signals.

1) Select the Network tab on the Resources-dialog.

2) Click on each field in turn and delete the current value (using the delete or backspace key).

3) Enter the following default values (or your own values).

 Connect TimeOut = 10000

 BindResp Timeout = 1000

 MaxAge = 2500

 BindingReq Timeout = 10000

 Update Timeout = 60000

4) On the Resource - Properties dialog, click OK to save your changes.

5) On the main menu of the AADvance Workbench, select Project → Clean Project/Library.

6) You can now choose to recompile your project.

Document: 553850 Issue 1.2: March 2011

Allocate IP Addresses for Network Communications

The AADvance system uses Internet Protocol (IP) for all communications between the controller and the AADvance Workbench. This includes downloading the application to the controller and real-time monitoring of the system in operation.

For many systems, the administrator of the local area network will allocate the address for the controller. If this is not the case, choose an address from the ranges allocated to private networks:

 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)

 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)

 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

Each controller on a particular local area network must have a unique IP address.

Note: You must ensure that the two Ethernet ports on each T9110 processor module are on different subnets.

Example

As an example you can use subnet masks to ensure that the two ports on a processor module are on different subnets:

Ethernet port E1-1 Address: 10.10.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Ethernet port E1-2 Address: 10.10.2.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

The subnet mask defines the first three digits of the IP address, in this case 10.10.1 and

10.10.2.

Setting Up the Controller for AADvance Workbench Communications

The AADvance controller stores a resource number and IP address information. These details have to match those defined in the AADvance Workbench for the application. After you have configured these details the AADvance Workbench can communicate with the controller. You use the AADvDiscover utility to set up the controller for AADvance Workbench communications.

Controller Discovery and Configuration

The AADvDiscover Utilility uses a discovery and configuration protocol (proprietary to Rockwell Automation) to set the controller IP address within the AADvance Workbench and to scan the broadcast domain for other AADvance controllers. The utility locates each controller by its unique MAC Address. Having located a particular controller to be configured, the utility lets you configure the resource number and IP Address to be stored in the controller; after you have done this, the AADvance

About the AADvDiscover Utility

Workbench can communicate with the other controller.

The AADvDiscover utility is installed when you install the AADvance Workbench, and appears on the Start menu of the computer. Click on AADvance Discover to start the AADvDiscover utility.

Demo Unit User Manual (AADvance Controller)

The AADvDiscover utility displays a list of the AADvance controllers on the broadcast network, and reports a status for each one:

 Configurable

 Locked

 No response

Double-clicking on an entry in the list lets you inspect the resource and IP address settings for a controller. There is also a Refresh button, which makes a scan of the network and creates a new list.

A controller is configurable when the program enable key is present (this plugs into the KEY connector on the processor base unit) and either no application is loaded or an application is loaded but not running. The status will be locked if the controller reports that one or more of these criteria has not been met.

If the AADvDiscover utility reports a status of 'no response' for a controller, either the controller has been turned off or the communications between the computer running the utility and the controller have failed. Check the power to the controller and check the connection, and click the Refresh button.

The AADvDiscover utilty also reports a status of 'in progress' and 'Pending

restart'. 'In progress' appears while the controller accepts new settings. 'Pending restart' means the controller is waiting for manual intervention from you; cycle the

power to the controller.

Configure the Controller Resource Number

When you build a new AADvance controller, or install a new 9100 processor base unit, you have to configure the resource number stored in the controller. This is a kind of device address, and it must also be configured in the application.

The procedure to configure the resource number uses the AADvDiscover utility. To set the resource number do the following:

1) Make a note of the controller's MAC address (Controller ID); this is shown on a label on the processor base unit. Install at least one 9110 processor module into the processor base unit.

2) Make sure the program enable key is inserted in the KEY connector on the processor base unit.

3) Start the AADvDiscover tool from the Start menu:
