Introduction

What Is Advantys STB?

Introduction Advantys STB is an assembly of distributed I/O, power, and other modules that

function together as an island node on an open fieldbus network. Advantys STB delivers a highly modular and versatile slice I/O solution for the manufacturing industry, with a migration path to the process industry.

Island Bus I/O A basic Advantys STB i sland c an s upport u p to 12 Ad vantys STB I/O modules. The

only I/O devices that may be used in the basic segm ent are Advantys STB modul es; preferred modules, standard CANopen devices and Advantys STB extension modules are not supported.

The Basic Segment

STB I/O modules may be interconnected in a group called the basic segment. The basic NIM is the first module in this segment. The basic segment must contain at least one AdvantysSTB I/O module and can support as many as 12 addressable Advantys STB modules, drawing a current load of up to 1.2 A. The segment must also contain one or mo re PDMs, which d istribute field pow er to the I/O module s. The basic segment must be terminated by a 120Ω termination plate, which ships with the NIM.

Introduction

What Is a Network Interface Module?

Purpose An island of STB I/O modules requires a network interface module (NIM) in the

leftmost location of the basic island. Physically , the NIM is the first (leftmost) mod ule on the island bus. Functionally, it is the gateway to the island bus—all communications to and from the island bus pass through the N IM. The NIM also h as an integrated power supply that provides logic power to the island modules.

The Fieldbus Network

An island bus is a node of dis tribute d I/O o n an op en f ieldbu s netwo rk, a nd the NIM is the island’s interface to that network. The NIM supports data transfers over the fieldbus network between the islan d and the fie ldbus master. The physical design of the NIM makes it compatible with both an Advantys STB island and your specific fieldbus master. Whereas the fieldbus connector on each NIM type may differ, the loc ation on the module front panel is essen tially the same . Other NIM conne ctors, such as the pow er s up ply i nte rfac e, a re identical for all N IM types.

Communications Roles The NIM manages the exchange of input and output data between the island and

the fieldbus master. Input data, st ore d i n nat ive i sl and bus format, is co nv erte d to a fieldbus-specific format that can be read by the fiel dbus mas ter. Outpu t data writt en to the NIM by the m aster is sent acro ss the i sland bu s to upd ate the ou tput modu les and is automatically reformatted.

Integrated Power Supply

The NIM’s built-in 24-to-5 VDC power supply provides logic power to the I/O modules on the basic segment of the island bus. The power supply requires a 24 VDC external power source. It converts the 24 VDC to 5 V of logic power, providing 1.2 A of current to the island. Individual STB I/O modules in an island segment generally draw a current load of between 50 and 90 mA. (Consult the Advantys STB Hardware Components Reference Guide [890 USE 172] for a particular module’s specifications.) A basic NIM supports up to 12 Advantys STB I/O modules.

About INTERBUS

Introduction IN TERBUS imple ments a maste r/slave net work model. It c an communic ate with up

to 512 nodes over a dist anc e o f 12.8 km , an d ca n read 1024 inputs and wri t e 10 24 outputs in 4 ms. Each network slave has an in connector for receiving data a nd an out connector for transmitting data on the ring. The last device automatically closes and terminates the network ring; sometimes this last device has no out connector. Components of a simplified INTERBUS network are shown below:

Introduction

Physical Layer The physical layer contains a single twisted pair of shielded wires. The

STB NIB 1010 INTERBUS implements the SUPI 3 (serial universal peripheral interface) ASIC from Phoenix Contact.

Network Topology

Transmission Media

The INTERBUS network observes a master/slave model with active ring topology, having all device s integrated in a closed tran smission path. There are thre e types of bus structures in the ring:

remote bus—The AdvantysSTB island (with an STB NIB 1010 INTER BU S NIM at the head) connects to this section. Remote bus characteristics include:

12.8 km (maximum) network length

512 possible connections

400 m (maximum) between dev ic es

256 devices (maximum)

local bus (not supported)—The local bus ring is used to conne ct I/O d evic es in a remote substation enclosure. Local bus characteristics include:

8 devices (maximum)

1.5 m (maximum) between de vices

10 m (maximum) network length

800 mA (maximum) current

sensor loop—The sensor loop is connected directly to sensors and actuators without the use of bridge routers. Sensor loop characteristics include:

1 unshielded pair (+24 V)

32 devices (maximum)

10 m (maximum) network length

Note: An Adv antys STB islan d with an INTERBUS NIM head can be implemente d only as a remote bus node.

While it is possible to connect INTERBUS devices with a variety of media (fiber optics, SMG, etc.), the STB NIB 1010 NIM only supports networks that are connected with twisted pair copper wiring (RS-485). Network connectors (in and out) are 9-pin SUB-D types. The TDMA transmission method is implemented for transmission rates of 500 kbits/s.

Introduction

Node Addressing

The INTERBUS master device is self-configuring because INTERBUS slave devices are auto-addressed according to their sequence in a serial ring structure. The master identif ies read/write da ta in terms of a node’s relati ve position i n the ring, not by a fixed addres s. The sequ ential locat ion of slav es corresponds to the order of input and output data in the master's buffer. The ring structure uses a distributed shift register. In a single bus cycle, data from the master to the slaves (and from the sla ves to the master) is transferred. The cy cle ends when the loo p back word is returned to the master. Ea ch no de is a c omponen t on the shift register ring on which data is circulated.

The NIM’s EDS For a particular device to be recog nized on you r netwo rk, a corres pondi ng EDS file

must be exported to your master device. Thi s ASCII file contains informat ion abo ut a device’s:

identity—the node’s cl assificati on is prese nted in term s of the manu facturer co de

data size—the master’s input buffer must account for the amount of data expected from the device

NIM Limitations The STB NIB 1010 INTERBUS basic NIM supports up to 16 words of INTERBUS

cyclic data. It does not support the parameter communication protocol (PCP).

STB NIB 1010 Fieldbus Interface

Summary The fieldbus interface on the STB NIB 1010 is the point of connection between an

Advantys STB island bus a nd the INTERBUS netw ork. Like every IN TERBUS node, the NIM has two nine-pin SUB-D connectors for data reception (in) and transmission (out). The connectors are located on the face of the NIM.

Fieldbus Port Connections

The in and out fieldbus interfa ces are lo cated on the front of the INTERBU S NIM at the top:

It is recommended th at you use 9 -pin SUB-D connec tors compliant with INTERBUS Club or corresponding international standard. The in connector is optically isolated. The signal level is according to EIA RS-485.

890USE19600 April 2004

The pin-out for both the in (upper) and out (lower) connectors should be according to the table below (pin numbers correspond to callouts in the figure above):

Pin Signal (in) Signal (out)

1DO1 DO2 2DI1 DI2 3 GND1 GND 4 unused unused 5 unused +5 V 6/DO1 /DO2 7/DI1 /DI2 8 unused unused 9 unused RBST (see note below)

Note: The RBST pin detect s the presen ce of a sub sequent node on the ring. In the absence of this detection (or if the node has no out connector at all), the network ring is closed.

INTERBUS Networking Cable and Connectors

The drop cable from the fie ldbus to the Adv antys STB INTE RBUS NIM (and t he one from the NIM to th e nex t IN TERB US nod e) mu st have connectors t hat ob serve this pin assignment scheme. INTERBUS networking cables are shielded, twisted-pair electrical cables, compliant with INTERBUS standard DR-303-1. There should not be an interruption to any wire in bus cables. Th is allows for a future specific ation for use of reserved pins.

Power Supply Interface

Introduction The NIM’s built-in power supply requires 24 VDC from an external SELV-rated

power source. The con nection between the 24 VDC source and the Advantys STB island is the two-receptacle connector illustrated below.

Physical Description

Power from the external 24 VDC supply comes in to the NIM through a tworeceptacle connector located at the bottom left of the module:

1 receptacle 1—24 VDC 2 receptacle 2—common

890USE19600 April 2004

Page 25

Connectors Use either:

a screw type power connector, available in a kit of 10 (model STB XTS 1120)

a spring clamp power connector, available in a kit of 10 (model STB XTS 2120) The following illustrati ons show two view s of each power con nector type. A fron t and back view of the STBXTS 1120 screw type connector is shown on the left, and a front and back view of the STB XTS 2120 spring clamp connector is shown on the right:

1 STBXTS 1120 screw-type power connector 2 STBXTS 2120 spring clamp power connector 3 wire entry slot 4 screw clamp access 5 spring clamp actuation button

The STB NIB 1010 Basic NIM Module

Each entry slot accepts a wire in the range 0.14 to1.5 mm2 (28 to 16 AWG). Each connector has a 3.8mm (0.15 in) pitch between the receptacles. We recommend that you strip at least 9mm from the wire’s jacket to make the connection.

Logic Power

Introduction Log ic power is a 5VDC power signal on the island bus th at the I/O modu les require

for internal processing. The NIM has a built-in power supply that provides logic power. The NIM sends the 5 V logic power signal across the island bus to support the modules in the basic segment.

External Source Power

Logic Power Flow

Input from an external 24VDC power supply is needed as the sou rce power for the NIM’s built-in power s upply. The NIM’s built-i n p ow er s up ply c onv erts the incoming 24 V to 5 V of logic power. The external supply must be rated safety extra low voltage (SELV-rated).

CAUTION IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION

The power component s are not galvanical ly isolated. They a re intended for use only in systems desig ned to provide SELV isolation betwee n the supply inputs or outpu ts and the load devic es or system power bus . You must use SELV-rated supplies to provide 24 VDC source power to the island.

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

The figure below shows how the NIM’s integrated power supply generates logic power and sends it across the basic segment:

Selecting a Source Power Supply for the Island’s Logic Power Bus

Logic Power Requirements

Characteristics of the External Power Supply

Calculating the Wattage Requirement

An external 24 VDC power supply is needed as the source for logic power to the island bus. The external power supply connects to the island’s NIM. This external supply provides the 24 V input to the built-in 5 V power supply in the NIM.

The external power s upply needs to deliver 24VDC source power to the island . The supply that you s elect c an have a low range limit of 19.2 VDC and a high range limit of 30 VDC. The external suppl y must be rated safety extra l ow voltage (SELV-rated). The SELV-rating means tha t SELV isolation is provided between the power suppl y’s inputs and outputs, the power bus, and the devices connected to the island bus. Under normal or single-fault conditions the voltage between any two accessible parts, or between an acce ssible part and the protective earth (PE) termin al for Class 1 equipment, will not exceed a safe value (60 VDC max.).

CAUTION IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION

The power componen ts are not ga lvanica lly isol ated. They are intende d for use onl y in systems designed to provide S ELV isol ation betwee n the supp ly inputs or outputs and the load devices or system power bus. You must use SELV-rated supplies to provide 24 VDC source power to the island.

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

The external supply needs to provide 13W of power to the NIM.

Suggested Devices

The external power supp ly is gen erally enclosed in the sa me c ab inet as the island. Usually the external power supply is a DIN rail-mountable unit. For installations that requi re 72 W or less from a 24 VDC source power supply, we recommend a device such as the ABL7RE2403 Phaseo power supply from Telemecanique, distri buted in the United Stat es by Square D. This s upply is DIN railmountable and has a form factor similar to that of the island modules. If you have room in your c abi ne t and your 24 VDC power req uire ments are greater than 72 W, summable power supply options such as Schneider’s Premium TSX SUP 1011 (26 W), TSX SUP 1021 (53 W), TSX SUP 1051 (120 W), or TSX SUP 1101 (2 40 W ) can be considere d. These modules a re als o availabl e from Telemecanique and, in the United States, from Square D.

Configuring the Island Bus

Auto-Addressing

Introduction Each time that the island is powered up or reset, the NIM automatically assigns a

unique island bus address to each module on the island that will engage in data exchange. All Advantys STB I/O modules engage in data exchange.

About the Island Bus Address

Addressable Modules

An island bus address is a unique integer value in the range 0 through 127 that identifies the physical location of each addressable module on the island. Address 127 is always the NIM’s address. Addresses 1 through 12 are available for addressable Advantys STB modules. The remaining addresses are not used in a basic island configuration. During initialization, the NIM detects the order in which modules are installed and addresses them sequentially from left to right, starting with the first addressable module after the NIM. No user action is required.

Only the Advantys STB I/O modules in the basic segment require island bus addresses. Because they do not exchange data on the island bus, the following are not addressed:

Configuring the Island Bus

An Example For example, if you have an island bus with eight I/O modules:

1 NIM 2 STB PDT 3100 24 VDC power distribution module 3 STB DDI 3230 24 VDC two-channel digital input module 4 STB DDO 3200 24 VDC two-channel digital output module 5 STB DDI 3425 24 VDC four-channel digital input module 6 STB DDO 3415 24 VDC four-channel digital output module 7 STB DDI 3615 24 VDC six-channel digital input module 8 STB DDO 3605 24 VDC six-channel digital output module 9 STB AVI 1275 +/-10 VDC two-channel analog input module 10 STB AVO 1255 0 ... 10 VDC two-channel analog output module 11 STB XMP 1100 island bus termination plate

The NIM would auto-address it as follows. Note that the PDM and the termination plate do not consume island bus addresses:

Configuring the Island Bus

Auto-Configuration

Introduction All AdvantysSTB I/O modules are shipped with a set of predefine d paramete rs that

allow an island to be operational as soon as it is initialized. This ability of island modules to operate with default parameters is known as auto-configuration. Once an island bus has been installed, you can begin using it as a node on that network.

About AutoConfiguration

Auto-configuration occurs when:

You power up an island for the first time.

You push the RST button. As part of the auto-configuration process, the NIM checks each module and confirms that it has been properly connected to the island bus. The NIM stores the default operating parameters for each module in Flash memory.

890USE19600 April 2004

Page 33

Configuring the Island Bus

The RST Button

Summary Use the RST function to reconfigure your island after you have added a new I/O

module to a previously auto-configured island. If a new I/O module is added to the island, pressing the RS T button forces th e auto-configurat ion process. T he updated island configurati on data is autom atically saved . RST works on ly after the isl and has been successfully configured at least once.

Physical Description

Engaging the RST Button

The RST button is located immediately above the CFG port, and behind the same hinged cover:

RST button

Holding down the RST button for two seconds or longer causes the island to auto configure and the Flash memory to be overwritten.

To engage the RST button, use a small screwdriver with a flat blade no wider than

2.5 mm (.10 in). Do not use a sharp object that might damage the RST button or a soft item such as a pencil that might break off and jam the button. When you push the RST button for at least two seconds, the NIM reconfigures the island bus as follows:

Stage Description

1 The NIM auto-addresses the I/O modules on the island and derives their

factory-default configuration values.

2 The NIM overwrites the current configuration in Flash memory with

configuration data that uses the factory-default values for the I/O modules.

3 It re-initializes the island bus and brings it into operational mode.

Note: Netw ork settin gs such as the fiel dbus bau d and the fi eldbus no de ID remain unaffected.

Configuring the Island Bus

Island Fallback Scenarios

Introduction In the even t of a c ommuni cations failure o n the is land or between the is land and the

fieldbus, output data is put into a predefined fallback state so that the module’s values are known when the system recov ers from the failure. When you use a basic NIM, you cannot change the fallback parameters of any modules in the segment. All output channels on the modules go to a predefined fallback value of 0.

Fallback Scenarios

Heartbeat Message

There are several scenarios in which Advantys STB output modules go into their fallback states:

loss of fieldbus communications—Communications with the fieldbus master are

lost.

loss of island bus communications—There is an internal island bus

communications error, ind icated by a mis sing h eartbeat message from e ither the

NIM or a module.

change of operating state—The NIM may command the island I/O modules to

switch from a running to a non-running (stopped or reset) state. In all of these fallback scenarios, the NIM disables the heartbeat message.

Note: If a module fails, it needs to be replaced. The module may not go to its fallback state.

The Advantys STB system relies on a heartbeat messag e to ensure the inte grity and continuity of commun icati ons betwee n the NIM and the isla nd modu les. The health of island modules and the overall integrity of the AdvantysSTB system are monitored through the transmission and reception of these periodic island bus messages. Because island I/O modules are configured to monitor the NIM’s heartbeat message, output modules will go into their fallback states if they do not receive a heartbeat message from the NIM within the defined interval.

Introduction Thi s chapter desc ribes how t he INTERBUS mas ter sets up com munications w ith an

Advantys STB island and the network parameterization, configuration and diagnostics services performed to configure the island as an INTERBUS node. To communicate wi th an Advanty s STB isla nd, the INTER BUS maste r sends outp ut data across its network to the STB NIB 1010 basic NIM. The NIM transfers this output data across the island bus to the destination output modules. The NIM collects input data from the island’s input modules and sends the data back to the fieldbus master in a bi t-packed format.

The INTERBUS ID Code

Introduction The ID cycle is part of the INTERBUS network’s initialization process. After

determining the length of its own data during network initialization, every network device reports its functionality and byte length in the two-byte ID code. The INTERBUS ID code is a 16-bit word that describes the data type, data length and module type (digital/analog, input/output/mixed) of network devices.

The Low and High Bytes

Data type is transmitted in the ID code’s low byte; data length and message information are reported in the high byte:

1 data type (03h, 33h) 2 data length (0 to 16 words) 3 messages (for management functions)

Data Type The INTERBUS NIM recognizes one of two possible data types:

Data Type Signal Direction Signal Type

03h input/output digital 33h input/output analog or mixed

Data Exchange

Introduction Process image data is exchanged between the STB NIB 1010 NIM and an

INTERBUS fieldbus master in a bit-packed format.

Note: In t his discussi on, data and words des cribed as input and output are defined relative to the master. For example, the master receives input data and transmits output data.

Data and Status Objects

Data exchange between th e island a nd the INTERBU S master in volves three types of objects:

data objects—operating values the INTERBUS master either reads from the input

modules or writes to the output modules

status objects—module health records sent by I/O modules and read by the

INTERBUS master

echo output data objects—sent by digital object modules to the INTERBUS

master; these obje cts are usual ly a copy of the data objec ts, but they ca n contain

useful informati on when a digital o utput poin t is con figured to handle th e result of

a reflex action Standard Advantys STB I/O modules support all three of the above objects. Basic Advantys STB I/O modules support only data objects, not status or echo objects. The following table shows the relationship between different object types and different module types. It also shows the size of the different objects:

Module Type Objects in the Input Data Image Objects in the Output Data Image

The Internal Process Image

Word Boundaries and Bit Packing

Bit Packing Rules

The STB NIB 1010’s process image contains memory areas (buffers) for the temporary storage of input and output d ata. The internal process image is part of the NIM’s island bus scanner area. The island bus manages data exchange in both directions:

input data from the island bus—The island bus scanner operates continuously, gathering data as well as status and confirmation bits and putting them into the process image’s input buffer.

output data to the island bus—The island bus scanner handles output data and

places it in the process image’s out put buff er. Input data and output data a re assembled in the order of the isl and bus I/O mo dules (from left to right).

Every entry in the process image is in a multiple-word format. If modules on t he island bus have input or output data entries that are not multiple words, the corresponding word in the process image is moved to the next word boundary. For example, a module with one bit of output data starts on a word bou nda ry in the process image’s outp ut data buffer. Th e next process image entry starts on the ne xt word boundary, thereby transmitting 15 unused bits of the module’s first word, resulting in latency during data transmission on the fieldbus. Bit packing allows bi ts of data on the fi eldbus from d ifferent digita l I/O modules to be put together in a single byte, resulting in optimized bandwidth.

The STB NIB 1010 NIM observes the following rules for the bit packing of the external process image:

The input and output process image sizes are limited to 16 words each.

The first word of the input process image contains NIM status information. The

first word of the output process image contains the NIM control word.

Bit packing follows the addressing order of the island bus I/O modules, from left

to right in the basic segment.

When the data object (or echo output data object) for a specific module is

available, it precedes the status object for that module.

Status objects and data objects for the same or different I/O module may be

packed in the same word if the size of the combined objects is 16 bits or less.

If the combination of objects requir es more than 16 bi ts, the objects wil l be placed

in separate contiguous bytes. A single object cannot be split over two

word boundaries.

For standard analog input modules, channel 1 data is followed immediately by

channel 1 status, then channel 2 data and channel 2 status.

Input and Output Data Exchange

The application of the INTERBUS bit packing rules to the sample island assembly results in four words of output data and five words of input data. The tables that follow show how dig ital data is bit pac ked for optimiza tion, and how d ata, status, and echo output data (from outputs) appear in the PLC as the same data type (digital input data). In these tables, N refers to the island node number. That is, N1 represents the first addressable node (module) on the sample island bus, N2 the second, and so forth.

Before You Begin

SyCon Considerations

CMD Considerations

Before attempting to use the application examples in this chapter, make sure:

your Advantys STB modules are assembled, ins talled, and pow ered accordin g to your particular system, application, and network requirements

you know the inp ut and output p rocess data leng ths for your specifi c configuration (the sample island assembly’s input length is 80 bits and the output length is 64

bits) You should have a working fam iliarity with both the INTER BUS fieldbus protocol and your configuration software, either SyCon or CMD.

Note: For specific information about your configuration software, consult the manufacturer’s documentation included with the Hilscher (SyCon) or Phoenix Contact (CMD) product.

You should have the EDS file an d corresponding bitmap fi les that were supplied w ith the STB NIB 10 10 INTERBUS NIM (also available at www.schneiderauto- mation.com), or you have created an EDS that is specific to the sample island assembly with the Advantys or SyCon configuration software.

You should have t he Sch neide r devi ce da tabase , Schn eid er_Devi ce_D B, ava ilabl e at www.schneiderautomation.com. It includes the Advantys STB catalog entry. If you don’t have this database, you can create a configuration-specific device by following the instructions for CMD configuration. The sample islan d assembly’s input leng th is 80 bit s and the ou tput length i s 64 bits. If you do not account for the entire data length of your island, process data will be truncated or connection to the network will be impossible.
