Description

ASM 456 interface module

Features

The ASM 456 provides simple connection technology. Optimum data throughput can be
achieved through acyclic data traffic on the PROFIBUS DP V1 even when using large
PROFIBUS configurations. The minimum cyclic data load of the ASM 456 on PROFIBUS
provides the user with the guarantee that other PROFIBUS nodes (e.g. DI/DO) can still be
processed at great speed.
Up to 2 readers can be operated at the same time on the ASM 456. This allows you to start a
command at the same time on 2 readers (using the corresponding FB/FC).

The transponder data is accessed using the physical addressing of the transponder. In
SIMATIC S7, the FBs 45/55/101/116/132 and FC 56 as well as the Ident profile are available
for this purpose. The functions provide the S7 user with a simple-to-use interface with
powerful commands (processing one complete transponder with one command; command
linking; S7 data structures using UDTs).

The MOBY filehandler is also implemented on ASM 456. The file handler is a file
administration system similar to DOS for the Ident system MOBY I/U and RF300. It consists
of one program which is executed on the interface module. For the SIMATIC application FC
56 and the RFID standard profile (S7) are available.

Other features

● Degree of protection IP67

● System integration with ECOFAST or M12, 7/8" concept

● T functionality, that is, a component can be replaced without adversely affecting other

modules with regard to bus communication and voltage supply

● Standardized PROFIBUS user interface for Ident technology with Ident profile

● Firmware update

● PROFIBUS interface module up to 12 Mbit/s with automatic transfer rate detection

● Parameterizable device-related diagnostics data with text display

● Support for I&M functionality:

A mechanism for reading out information via the module and saving system information
such as function, installation date, installation location, and comments.

● Master redundancy supported when operation is on Y link

● Operation on SIMOTION via SCOUT V4.0

You will find detailed information on this in the function manual SIMOTION, Standard
functions for RFID systems
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/27002208

).

NOTICE

Proper use

When connecting non-specified devices to the ASM 456, it is possible that the connected
device may be destroyed.

PROFIBUS connection system

You will find general instructions on setting up a PROFIBUS network in the manual
"SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS network manual
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/35222591

)". You will find information
on setting up a PROFIBUS network with STEP 7 in the manual "PROFIBUS with STEP 7
(

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/59193579)".

Reader connector system

One reader always occupies one M12 connector socket (X1, X2) on the ASM 456. A pre­assembled cable therefore permits the optimum and simple connection of the reader. The
standard version connection cable is 2 m long.

NOTICE

Number of operable readers/reading points

Note that you can normally connect two readers to the ASM 456 and operate them. The
readers RF680R and RF685R are an exception. On the ASM 456, only one
RF680R/RF685R reader can ever be operated at connector socket X1 and one reading
point. This ensures that the maximum permitted total current of 750 mA is not exceeded.

Digital I/Os must always be operated with an external power supply.

NOTICE

Voltage drop with extension cables

Note that using extension cables (connection between communications module ↔ Reader,

M12 connector eight-pin socket, 160 mohm/m) depending on the current consumption may
lead to a voltage drop on the reader. This voltage drop can mean that the required
minimum voltage on the reader is below the required 20 V.

Cable lengths > 20 m (6GT2891-4FN50) are not permitted for the RF680R/RF685R
readers.

4.1

Connecting up the terminating resistor for PROFIBUS DP

A PROFIBUS DP segment must be terminated at both its ends, in other words, on the first
and last node of the segment, with its characteristic impedance.

If the ASM 456 is the

last

PROFIBUS node, then you must terminate PROFIBUS DP with

the M12 terminating resistor. For the order number, refer to the section "Ordering data".

1. Plug the M12 terminating resistor into the right-hand M12 circular socket connector

Loop-

through

on the terminal block. Make sure the interlock has properly engaged.

2. Use the knurled locking ring to secure the M12 terminating resistor.

Figure 4-8 Connecting the M12 terminating resistor

Closing unused sockets

Always close all unused sockets using M12 or 7/8" sealing caps in order to achieve the
degree of protection IP65, IP66 or IP67. For order numbers, refer to the section "Ordering
data".

Loop-through connection of PROFIBUS DP and supply voltage

Properties

The terminal block has one connector for the supply and one socket for looping through the
supply voltage and PROFIBUS DP. The connector for supply and the socket for loop-through
connection are linked with one another internally.

Result:

If you remove the terminal block during operation, other PROFIBUS nodes do not

fail.

Ensuring the degree of protection

The IP65, IP66 or IP67 degree of protection is no longer guaranteed if the terminal block is
removed.

Notes for wiring

● If you are wiring your structure, then you must take into account the impact of cable

length on supply voltage to the ASM 456.

Example of the ECOFAST terminal block:

When using a 10 m long cable with a diameter of 1.5 mm2, the voltage drop is 2.5 V with
a loading of 10 A. This corresponds to 0.25 V at a 1 A load.

● The maximum supply current

– of the ECOFAST terminal block is 8 A at 1L+

– of the M12, 7/8" terminal block is 6 A at 1L+

These values must not be exceeded.

NOTICE

Damage to the device

If you do not observe the maximum supply currents and the cable cross-sections
required, this may result in the cable isolation and contacts overheating and to the
device being damaged.

4.5

Connecting an ASM 456 up to functional earth

Properties

The ASM 456 needs to be connected to functional earth. This normally happens
automatically when you mount the device on a grounded metal support. If you mount the
module on a support that is not grounded, a separate grounding screw must be provided on
the communications bus.

This connection to functional earth is also required to discharge any interference currents to
ground and for EMC.

Requirements

Always provide a low-impedance connection to functional earth. The threads of the mounting
screw or the contact surface of the mounting nut on the support must not be painted in order
to establish a low-impedance connection.

Tools required

● Screwdriver

● Stripping tool (optional)

● Crimp tool (optional)

Hardware configuration

The ASM 456 is integrated into the hardware configuration of the SIMATIC Manager, the TIA
Portal or other configuration software using the GSD file "SIEM8114.GSD". The file is
incorporated into HW Config of the SIMATIC Manager using the "Options > Install new GSD
..." function. The file is incorporated into the project view of the TIA Portal using the "Options
> Manage device description file" function. You can incorporate the communications module
in your project using the hardware catalog.

Figure 5-1 Network view in the TIA Portal

Depending on the connected reader, you need to use the appropriate module. With RF680R
and RF685R you need to use the module "Word 18 IN/OUT DB-V1", with all other Ident
devices, the module "Word:2 IN/OUT DP-V1".

Parameterization of the diagnostics

In addition to the PROFIBUS standard diagnostics, the ASM 456 offers user-specific
diagnostics data structured in the form of device-related diagnostics.

Along with error messages that are also communicated with command processing,
diagnostics data contain cross-application information such as the start of a firmware update.

The diagnostics data can be read out as follows:

● As a plaintext display on S7 interfaces.

● Storage of the diagnostics data with the help of SFC 13 in the data area of an application.

● Evaluation with FB 125 or FC 125.

6.2 Parameterization of the diagnostics

ASM 456 interface module

Parameter assignment options

●

None

No other diagnostics data are reported, apart from standard diagnostics.

●

Hard errors

Extended diagnostics messages are generated in the case of the following events.

– Hardware fault (memory test)

– Firmware problem (checksum)

– Reader connection interrupted

– Short-circuit/break, if supported by hardware

– Firmware update (message at start/end)

In the case of this diagnostics information, the Ext_Diag bit is set, that is, it is treated as
high-priority diagnostics information in the PLC (SF LED is ON)

●

Hard/soft errors low priority

In contrast to the hard errors, in this case, errors are also reported that arise during
command processing.

The diagnostics information is treated like status information, the Ext_Diag bit is not set.

●

Hard/soft errors high priority

Correspond to the hard/soft errors but the Ext_Diag bit is set.

With the diagnostics messages, a distinction is made between incoming and outgoing
diagnostics.

Incoming diagnostics

An event occurs and triggers a diagnostics message. The Ext_Diag bit is set, depending on
parameterization.

Outgoing diagnostics

The event is no longer current, a diagnostics message is output without a set Ext_Diag bit.
For events that only exist momentarily, the reset is delayed by 3 seconds.

The hard errors are supported by text messages stored in the GSD file.

Structure of the diagnostics frame

When using device-relate diagnostics, it can be evaluated using the table below.

The diagnostics frame consists of 6 bytes of standard diagnostics and 18 bytes of
diagnostics extension.

For the ASM 456, the diagnostics extension is designed as a status PDU for device-related
diagnostics. The structure complies with the PROFIBUS Profile Guideline (PROFIBUS Proxy
Guideline, Identification Systems Proxy Ident Function Block) for Identification Systems with
MOBY-specific additional information.

The firmware of the ASM 456 can be updated via PROFIBUS. You have several options for
updating the firmware:

● With STEP 7 Classic

● With STEP 7 Basic / Professional (TIA Portal)

Note
Firmware update with connected RF680R/RF685R readers

Note that when the RF680R/RF685R are

connected to the ASM 456, the firmware update of

the readers must be performed via the WBM of the readers. You can start the WBM from the
TIA Portal.

Requirements

The ASM is connected to PROFIBUS with functional DP communication (basic
communication only, no application required). The firmware update can be made regardless
of whether an application is running.

If the firmware update is performed while an application is running, this can slow down the
update and command execution.

Make sure that the required update files (*.upd) are stored locally.

Firmware update

ASM 456 interface module

50 Operating Instructions, 07/2015, J31069-D0162-U001-A6-7618

Procedure

Firmware update with the SIMATIC Manager (STEP 7 Classic)

Follow the steps below to run a firmware update on the ASM 456 with the SIMATIC
Manager:

1. Start SIMATIC Manager.

2. Select the ASM 456 in HW Config.

3. Using the menu entry "PLC > Firmware", select the required "*.upd" file from
("CPU_HD.upd" or "Header.upd").

With the C2 channel you can reach the firmware update via the basic window of the
SIMATIC Manager with "PLC > Show Accessible Nodes".

4. If required, select the "Activate firmware after download" check box.

– If this option is activated, a successful update is followed by a new startup of the ASM

during which the new firmware is activated (active commands on the ASM are
canceled).

– If the option is not selected, the ASM 456 continues to operate with the previous

firmware version. The new firmware is activated the next time the power supply is
cycled.

While you download to the ASM, this is indicated by alternate flashing of the "ERR_1" and
"ERR_2" LEDs at approximately 1 Hz. With the appropriate parameter assignment, an
update operation is also reported by the diagnostics (see section Diagnostics (Page 43)).

Firmware update with the TIA Portal (STEP 7 Basic / Professional)

Follow the steps below to run a firmware update on the ASM 456 with the TIA Portal:

1. Start the TIA Portal in the project view.

2. Open the "Distributed I/O" folder in the project tree.

The configured nodes are displayed.

3. Right-click the required ASM 456 and select the "Online & diagnostics" entry in the
shortcut menu.

5. In the "Firmware loader" area, use the "Browse" button to select one of the three update

files "*.upd".

6. If required, select the "Run firmware after update" check box.

– If this option is selected, a successful update is followed by a new startup of the ASM

(active commands on the ASM are canceled).

– If the option is not selected, the ASM 456 continues to operate with the previous

firmware version. The new firmware is activated the next time the power supply is
cycled.

7. Click the "Run update" button to start the update.

While you download to the ASM 456, this is indicated by alternate flashing of "ERR_1" and
"ERR_2" at approximately 1 Hz. With the appropriate parameter assignment, an update
operation is also reported by the diagnostics (see section "Diagnostics (Page 43)").

Maximum cable length

The ASM 456 can be operated with every reader configuration with the maximum cable
length of 50 m. In some situations, longer connecting cables up to 1000 m are possible. The
current consumption of the connected reader must, however, be taken into account. You will
find information in the relevant system manuals.
Sequential connection of more than 2 sub-sections to form a long section of cable should be
avoided due to the additional contact resistances.
