PresencePLUS Pro
Communication Tool Overview

The Communication tool is used to export data from PresencePLUS Pro to an external device. Results from the vision tools may be selected by the Communication tool and exported to an external device. PresencePLUS Pro can export data via its serial channels or over Ethernet. Below are specifications for the communications channels.
Ethernet
Network Protocols Communication Protocols Connection Speed TCP/IP ASCII RJ-45 (10 TCP sockets) 10 Base-T
NOTE: PresencePLUS Pro places ASCII strings inside the TCP/IP packets without any additional protocols, just as if they were being transmitted over a serial line.
Serial
Network Protocols Communication Protocols Connection Speed RS-232 ASCII DB-9 (female), pins 5-8 on the terminal strip 115,200 bits per sec max
Communication Tool Setup (Communication Tab in the System Window)

Ethernet
In order to establish a connection, the external device must be directed to the correct IP address and the correct TCP port. In TCP/IP protocol, a TCP port number is used with the IP address to identify a specific path or socket. PresencePLUS Pro has 10 sockets: 1 to 10. Therefore, PresencePLUS Pro can send out unique sets of data to 10 different devices.
Communication Tool Setup Ethernet NOTE: The TCP/IP setup is automatically configured; the Ethernet Settings box is for information purposes only.
PresencePLUS Pro
Each Ethernet Socket has a unique TCP port number, as shown in the following table. TCP Port Numbers Ethernet Socket
1 2 3 4 5
TCP Port number

20000 20001 20002 20003 20004
Ethernet Socket
6 7 8 9 10
TCP port number

20005 20006 20007 20008 20009
Serial
PresencePLUS Pro has two serial connections that can be configured: Serial 1 and Serial 2. Serial 1 is the DB-9 connector. Serial 2 is pins 5 - 8 from the terminal strip.
Communication Tool Setup Serial Connection 4

Set up the serial communication options to match the receiving device. The following table shows the configuration options. Option
Baud Rate Data bits Parity Stop Bits Flow Control
Value
110 to 115200 bps 5, 6, 7, 8 Even, Odd, None, Mark, Space 1, 1.5, 2 None
NOTE: Because there is no flow control for the serial connections, PresencePLUS Pro will not detect or log a lost or broken connection.
PresencePLUS Pro
Adding a Communication Tool

ADD THE COMMUNICATION TOOL AFTER THE VISION TOOLS THAT HAVE DATA TO BE EXPORTED.
Tools that can export data Tools that cannot export data
Tool Navigation As shown above, the Communication tool (CT_1) can export results data from the Gray Scale tool (GS_1), the Object tool (OBJECT_1), and the Test tool (TT_1). It cannot export results from the second Object tool (OBJECT_2) or the second Test tool (TT_2). The data will be transmitted a) in the sequence that the tools are selected within the Communication tool, and b) in the sequence that the options are selected within the tools for export. One inspection can have more than one Communication tool. Use one Communication tool to: Export data out of one port (serial or Ethernet). Export the same data out of multiple ports at the same time. Use multiple Communication tools to: Separate the data and export separate segments to unique external devices. Customize the order of the exported data. Export data from the vision tools at different times during the inspection. Customize the Start Strings control characters to unique external devices. NOTE: The Test tool can have the Communication tool as one of its inputs. Therefore, if a Test tool is added after the Communication tool, a discrete output can be activated a) if the TCP/IP connection is lost, or b) if the external device fails to acknowledge it received data. This output could contribute to an inspection pass/fail if it is an input to a Test tool. A Communication tool without a Test tool will not contribute to the inspection pass/fail. 6
Configuring the Communication Tool

There are three main steps in configuring the Communication tool:
A. Select the vision tools and their results to export. B. Select the communication Connection(s) that will export the data. C. Format the ASCII string of data.

Testing the Connection

A. Run an Inspection with the Communication Tool
1. Start an inspection that has a configured Communication tool. 2. Start HyperTerminal or Telnet. 3. Trigger PresencePLUS Pro. 4. Look in HyperTerminal or Telnet to see if the data has updated.
B. Connecting a PC
Various software programs can test the communication connection. Two such programs are Telnet and HyperTerminal. Telnet can test Ethernet communications and is easy to set up. HyperTerminal can test serial communications and Ethernet communications.
Testing Ethernet Communications with Telnet

1. Connect a PC to the Controller using an Ethernet crossover cable. 2. From the start menu, Click Start 3. Type in the dialog box
Run.
telnet <controller IP address> <IP port> Example: telnet 192.168.0.1 20000

4. Click OK to open a Telnet window.
Telnet Command

USE OF THE COMMUNICATION TOOL Testing Ethernet or Serial Communications with HyperTerminal Ethernet 1. 2. 3.
Start a new connection with HyperTerminal. Connect using TCP/IP. Configure HyperTerminal to talk with the controller. Example: - Host Address = 192.168.0.1 (Controller default) - Port number = 20000 (Ethernet Socket 1)
PresencePLUS Pro
Serial
Start a new connection with HyperTerminal. Connect using Serial (DB9 connector on the controller). Configure HyperTerminal to talk with the Controller. Example: - Baud rate = 115200 bits/sec (default) - Data bits = 8 (Controller default) - Parity = None (Controller default) - Stop Bits = 1 (Controller default) - Flow Control = None NOTE: The Controller settings must match exactly with the PC.

Troubleshooting
Not Receiving Data from PresencePLUS Pro
Ethernet Connection: 1. Check the LEDs on the PresencePLUS Pro RJ-45 connector. No LEDs are on: The cable may not be the correct type (straight or crossover), or it could be broken. Only the amber LED is on: The electrical connection is good, but the Controller and device are not exchanging data. Amber LED is on, and the green LED is on or flashing: Data is being exchanged between the PC and the Controller. 2. Check the Communication tool to see if it is configured correctly. The connection should be Ethernet socket 1 - 10. Verify that the desired result data has been selected in the Tool tab. 3. Check the receiving device setup. Check the IP address. The device IP subnet must match the Controller IP subnet. Check the Port number: 20000 20009 (not 2000). See the TCP Port Numbers Table on page 4. Serial Connection: 1. Verify the hardware. Check for breaks in the serial cable. Use a straight serial cable from the controller to a PC. When using the terminal strip connector, the common wire (pin 5 on a DB-9) goes to Common on the terminal strip (Pin 2). 2. Check the Communication tool to see if it is configured correctly. The connection should be Serial 1 for the DB-9 connection or Serial 2 for the terminal strip. Verify that the desired result data has been checked. 3. Check the receiving device setup. Check that the setup on the receiving device matches the System parameters in the controller (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control). See the Communication Tool Setup Serial Connection screen on page 4.
