Buffers (Bufs)
Overview
Buffers are the interface between the software and hardware components of the system. Analog or digital input/outputs represent signals processed through the Model IOP family of input/output modules. Analog inputs may represent thermocouple and resistance temperature readings. Digital signals may represent AC or DC signals derived from contact closures or voltage level outputs from pressure switches or pushbuttons. From I/O modules, signals may enter the following buffer types each representing an available I/O module: Analog Input Buffer (AIB) Analog Output Buffer (AOB) Counter Timer Buffer (CB) Digital Input Buffer (DIB) Digital Output Buffer (DOB) Output Driver Buffer (OD) Positioner Buffer (PB) Pulse I/O Counter/Timer Buffer (PLSIO - 564 only) Quad Position Adjusting Type (QPAT) Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Serial Thermocouple (TC) Digital and high level (4-20 ma.) analog signals may be entered into digital and analog buffers, respectively. Analog Buffers may be configured to specify linearizations and related signal conditioning. Buffers represent all the available signals associated with any given I/O module. An Analog Input Module, for instance consists of up to 16 channels, each of which are assigned a signal span type. The entire buffer may be tagged and referenced through graphics displays. To tag an individual signal, use an Atag or Dtag atomic block. The Release 1.8 maxDPU supports two families of I/O cards the older Model 564 I/O and the new maxPAC series. The main difference in the families is that the maxPAC I/O is more compact, allowing up to 8 modules per I/O chassis, and maxPAC has convenient Phoenix block type wire termination. The following are the major differences: maxPAC Analog Input and Thermocouple Input cards contain 16 channels instead of 15. maxPAC RTD Input card contains 8 channels instead of 7.

maxPAC AI, TC, and RTD only consume 2 I/O bus addresses.
278589
maxPAC AO Output card has a new feature of read back to allow detection of open loop. Note: The maxPAC Counter Timer card is a replacement for the 564 PLSIO card with similar input functions, but without any output timing functions. Note: the AIBS should not be used any more. The AIB has a configuration option for the older 564 I/O. The AIB, AOB, RTD, and TC buffers now contain a new attribute that is used to configure the type of I/O installed. The attribute is called maxPAC. The following table summarizes the configuration options for these buffers.
Buffer Configuration Setup refere to the specific I/O Buffers in the following sections for details about the setting the configuration parameters.
Event Behavior
When an alarm occurs, an alarm event (Alm) is generated and an acknowledge event occurs when the alarm is acknowledged. If the alarm is acknowledged before the alarm condition is cleared, a clear event is generated at the time of the clearing of the alarm condition. However, if the alarm condition clears before the alarm is acknowledged, no clear event is generated. Only the acknowledge event is generated at the time of alarm acknowledgement. If the alarm condition clears before acknowledgement and the alarm appears again, no alarm or clear event is generated. The behavior of the events is slightly different than the analog taggers, digital taggers and MIO buffers. For more details on event behavior of analog and digital taggers, refer to Event Behavior in Chapter 7. For details of event behavior in MIO buffers, refer to Event Behavior in manual MIO Buffers Programmers Reference and Users Guide (278732).

Analog Input Buffer (AIB)

Atomic block Category: Buffers
Overview
Use the Analog Input Buffer to make analog values from analog input cards available to other atomic blocks for their use. To configure this buffer, specify span types for up to 16 channels (8 channels maximum if the buffer is being applied for the HART enabled AI module, note: set the maxPAC parameter to 3 = Eight Channels). Use the type parameters (Tyxx) to specify the following available types:
1 4 to 20 mA 2 20 to4 mA 3 0 to 20 mA 4 20 to 0 mA 10 - Custom
When you enter a span type per channel, maxDPUTools automatically fills in default high and low range counts dependent on the maxPAC attribute option (for the 4 to 20 mA selection these values are 27305/5462 for the 16 channel input modules vs. 52428/10486 for the HART enabled 8 channel input module). To enter your own custom span type, use 10 for custom. For custom AI types, Ty0X = 10, calibrate methods can be used to place a milliampere setting into the Low Count (LoCnt0X) and High Count (HiCnt0X) range parameters. When a calibrate method is invoked, via a write from the HMI, the raw count (Rcnt0X) value is placed into the corresponding range parameter. The outputs of the buffer are values with a range of 0 to 100 i.e. percent. Each output quality is normally good, set to bad when: 1. The buffer cannot communicate with the module (all outputs bad quality). 2. The module detects a signal greater than its measurement range . 3. AI types 4-20 mA or 20-4 mA signal input is less than 100 counts (approximately 0.1 mA).
Creating Simulated Points

This atomic block also includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameters to 1, the DPU uses entered simulated point values rather than actual values from attached I/O. SimStatus, another simulation parameter, lets you simulate hardware problems.

In addition, the buffer includes the following other parameters: Addr AltShDesc AltDesc Desc Gname Mode Enter a buffer address.
278589
Enter an alternate short description in another language if necessary. Enter an alternate long description in another language if necessary. Enter a long description to identify the buffer on other displays. Enter a generic name for the buffer if it will be configured as part of a point hierarchy. The mode is set to 1 to allow the DPU to actively scan the associated I/O module. Set the parameter to 0 for off scan when you need to take the module offline for maintenance. Set this parameter to 1 if the associated module is part of a redundant configuration; otherwise, set the parameter to 0 for non-redundant I/O. Enter a short description to appear on display logs where space is limited. Enter a tagname to identify the buffer in other locations, such as in a maxVUE graphics display. Note that the tagname applies to all the signals associated with the buffer. To tag an individual signal, use an Atag atomic block.

Analog Output Buffer (AOB)

Overview
Use the Analog Output Buffer to make analog values from the atomic block algorithms available to the field. To configure this buffer, specify span types for up to 8 channels. Use the type parameters (Tyxx) to specify the following available types:
1 4 to 20 mA 2 20 to4 mA 10 - Custom
When you enter a span type per channel, maxDPUTools automatically fills in high and low range counts dependent on the maxPAC attribute option (for the 4 to 20 mA selection the high range value is 32767 for the 8 address modules vs. 65535 for the 2 address modules using the BURST option). To enter your own custom span type, use 10 for custom (Ty0X = 10 parameter). For custom AO types, you must enter your own high and low range counts. Calibrate methods can be used to place a milliampere setting into the Low Count (LoCnt0X) and High Count (HiCnt0X) range parameters. When a calibrate method is invoked, via a write from the HMI, the count value in SLCntX or in SHCntX is placed into the corresponding range parameter. The inputs of the buffer are values with a range of 0 to 100 i.e. percent.

This atomic block also includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameters to 1, the DPU uses entered simulated point values rather than actual values from attached I/O. SimStatus, another simulation parameter, lets you simulate hardware problems. In addition, the buffer includes the following other parameters: Addr Alt ShDesc AltDesc Enter a buffer address Enter an alternate short description in another language if necessary. Enter an alternate long description in another language if necessary.

Overview
This module buffer combination supports up to eight pulse input channels. Each channel can be independently configured for both function type and debounce time. The functions supported are: Mode 1 Frequency Input Frequency in counts per second in input1. Input 2 is not used. The following timebase mode selections for frequency measurement: 20 msecs, 50 msecs, 100 msecs, 250 msecs, 500 msecs, and 1 second. For the selected timebase, the Pulse I/O module measures frequency for the specified duration and normalizes each measurement to cycles per second. The measurement is updated at the end of each interval and the counts read by the DPU when the module is scanned represent the average of the last four measurements in cycles/second. The scan rate of the DPU is asynchronous from the scan rate by the module. The accuracy of the frequency measurement is +/-1 count for the one-second timebase. The accuracy for the other timebases is approximately the normalizing multiplier divided by 4. Thus for the shortest timebase (20 msecs), the accuracy is reduced to approximately +/-12 counts. In applications requiring fast frequency measurements, a period measurement (mode 7) can also be used to measure frequency. Since each count in the period measurement corresponds to 0.5 microseconds, the inverse of the period will yield a fast frequency

measurement with an accuracy of 0.1% for a 2000Hz input and 0.25% for a 5000Hz. Mode 2 Simple Event Counter (default configuration) 32 bit accumulation of OFF-to-ON transitions in input1. Input2 provides an external accumulator reset. Mode 3 Up/Down Event Counter Net counts of OFF to ON transitions in input1 and input2. Input1 counts up and input2 counts down. Mode 4 On-Time Timer The timebase frequency (0.5 usec/count) is counted while input1 = ON. Input 2 provides an external reset. Mode 5 Up/Down Pulse Timer Counts corresponding to the on-time difference in input1 and input2. The timebase frequency (0.5 usec/count) is counted up while input1 = ON and counted down while input2 is ON. Mode 6 Pulse Width ON time of last detected pulse in input1, based on the timebase frequency (0.5 usec/count). Input2 is not used. The measurement is updated at the end of each detected pulse (ON to OFF transition). Counts read by DPU represent the average of the last four measurements. Mode 7 Period Time duration between the last onset of input1and the previous onset of input1. The timebase frequency (0.5 usec/count) is counted during this time. Input2 is not used. The measurement is updated at the end of each detected period. Counts read by DPU represent the average of the last four measurements.

Outputs can be reset from an external signal. When a reset occurs, a bit will be set in the status word and the output value prior to the reset will be stored in an item addressable location. The DPU can indicate that it has been requested to reset the channel by writing a one in the appropriate bit location to the second half of the Status word. Each execution will read all channels using the high-speed burst and the Status word for resets. If a reset is indicated two item reads will be scheduled to read the reset channel and an item write to clear the bit indicating the reset information has been retrieved. Also with each execution a read of one of the configuration words or preset values will be retrieved and compared with the current value. If this does not match then the current value at the DPU will be written to the module. In sequence with the reads of the configuration data will be reads of the module identification information. This includes Model No., Revision, Checksum, and Date of revision. This is the same technique used for scanning the TC and RTD modules currently.

Digital Input Buffer (DIB)

Overview
Use the Digital Input Buffer to make digital values from digital input cards available to other atomic blocks for their use. To configure this buffer, specify a relative debounce time for up to 16 channels using the DBTMxx parameter, where xx is the channel number from 01 to 16. The value of a DIXX output will not change unless the incoming field value remains in the changed state for a time equal to its debounce time.

This atomic block also includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameters to 1, the DPU uses entered simulated point values rather than actual values from attached I/O. SimStatus, another simulation parameter, lets you simulate hardware problems. In addition, the buffer includes the following other parameters: Addr Alt ShDesc AltDesc Desc Gname Mode Enter a buffer address Enter an alternate short description in another language if necessary. Enter an alternate long description in another language if necessary. Enter a long description to identify the buffer on other displays. Enter a generic name for the buffer if it will be configured as part of a point hierarchy. The mode is set to 1 to allow the DPU to actively scan the associated I/O module. Set the parameter to 0 for off scan when you need to take the module offline for maintenance. Set this parameter to 1 if the associated module is part of a redundant configuration; otherwise, set the parameter to 0 for non-redundant I/O.

Ethernet Buffer (EB)

Ethernet Buffer
EBIn01 Ethernet Messages
Overview
The Ethernet Buffer (EB) is used with Modbus, Modbus Slave or ABEIP custom blocks from the standard libraries to provide Ethernet communication with PLC devices. Unlike other buffers, the EB does not have an associated I/O card. It uses the A or B network of the DPU4F. Like the FB, it typically runs in the critical time class. It is not recommended to run the EB faster than 20 ms. EBs are available in release version 4.4. They are not supported in earlier maxSTATION and DPU releases. They are not available in DPU4E. For DPU versions between 4.4 and 4.4.0.3 a DPU4F supports from 1 to 5 EBs. The Graphical Configurator and maxDPUTOOLS will not limit the number of Ethernet buffers but only the first five are capable of Ethernet communication. One EB supports a single PLC link. Beginning with DPU version 4.4.1, the Ethernet Buffer includes redundancy capability. In support of this feature, the following attributes have been added which are explained in the table below. RedundantRole RoutMaskCustom
Metso Automation
3- 30
278589
Also, in this release the maximum number of EBs is increased from 5 to 6. Each redundant pair consumes two of the six EBs for a maximum of three pairs per DPU4F. A configuration may include any combination of non-redundant (single) or redundant) (paired) EBs that total at most six. In order to implement redundancy within the maxDPUTools configuration, two instances of the EB are created for each link. The EBIn01 attribute of both EBs would be wired to the same upstream block (usually a MUX). In one instance, the RedundantRole is be set to Primary and in the other it is set to Secondary. The Mode, NetMode, PortNumber, Protocol and SvcTimeBase attributes must be the same for both blocks. The IpAddr, IpAddrSec, NetAssign, RoutMask and RoutMaskCustom attribute values depend on the location and address of the associated redundant PLC(s). Although there are many possibilities, the general rules for Ip Address assignment are applicable and must be adhered to for the PLC. A complete discussion of Ip Addressing and Net masks is beyond the scope of this document. In cases where a route mask is required, the RoutMask attribute used to allow the selection of the common Class A, B, C ip addresses. This has now been expanded to include a custom option that will allow a custom mask to be defined in the RoutMaskCustom attribute. This will allow greater flexibility in PLC address assignment by taking advantage of subnetting. The actual failover mechanism from the Primary to the Secondary EB is implemented upstream using custom function blocks from the SCM and application (i.e. Modbus) libraries. These are described in the manual 278718 DPU4F Links Configuration Guide. Notes: As of version 4.4.1, the Modbus Slave Library Function Blocks do not support redundant Ethernet Buffers. The Ethernet Buffer does not function in a Virtual DPU. A configuration containing an EB can be downloaded to a VDPU. However it will not perform any Ethernet communication.
There can be a variety of network configurations between the DPU4F and PLCs. Examples below will show EB attribute assignments for several network configurations with both non-redundant and redundant EB. See manual 278718 DPU4F Links Configuration Guide for additional link specific configuration information.

An invalid argument was supplied. Too many open sockets. A non-blocking socket operation could not be completed immediately. A blocking operation is currently executing. An operation was attempted on a non-blocking socket that already had an operation in progress. An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. A required address was omitted from an operation on a socket. A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself. A protocol was specified in the socket function call that does not support the semantics of the socket type requested. An unknown, invalid, or unsupported option or level was specified in a getsockopt or setsockopt call. The requested protocol has not been configured into the system, or no implementation for it exists. The support for the specified socket type does not exist in this address family. The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced. The protocol family has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists. An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. The requested address is not valid in its context.

An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full. A connect request was made on an already connected socket. A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied. A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket had already been shut down in that direction with a previous shutdown call. Too many references to some kernel object. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Cannot translate name. Name component or name was too long.

- A WAN connection into the maxDNA must use the firewall capability of the router. Firewall settings should be added that prohibit all TCP and UDP transactions from and to the WAN. Since firewall setting typically can be layered, specific IP address ranges can be enabled (example shown below).
- IpAddrSec attribute is required in this case since the DPU4F uses it to establish a route.

NOTES: - In this example, both the primary and secondary PLCs are on different networks. - The PLCs are using Class C Ip Addresses. Because they are on different networks their IP addresses must have different subnets. The primary uses subnet 192.168.0.x and the secondary uses 192.168.1.x. The subnetmask for Class C addresses is 255.255.255.0. - IpAddrSec for each EB must be on the same subnet as its corresponding PLC. Therefore the IpAddrSec values are 192.168.0.140 and 192.168.1.140 for the Primary and Secondary respectively. The DPU4F adds this IP to its appropriate network for routing.

Overview
The Output Driver Buffer provides the interface with the Output Driver Hardware Module to control field devices when a hand/auto station is required providing: Output Control by MaxDPU Configuration atoms Display values for Output Driver Control Stations Commands for Output Driver operations and indications Forceback for atoms operating the Output Driver Operation coordination between Output Driver Control Station and Graphics operation for Element Demand, Mode, and Control Setpoint or Bias. Configuration parameters download MaxDPU Configuration control status download. Output Driver and controlled device Status Indication Trigger DPU Failover predicated on Output Driver Status This buffer uses complex inputs and outputs with multibit combined values. Custom Function Blocks using the BitPack, BitUnPack, and CMPT atomic blocks (to translate and construct the complex attributes) should be designed to drive this module.

This atomic block includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameter to 1 (to use raw counts from 0 to 16384) or 2 (to work with Output% from 0 to 100%), the DPU uses simulated values rather than actual values from an I/O module. SimStatus lets you simulate hardware problems as Good (0) or Bad (1).

* Times for blocks and overrides are usually used as multiples of the scan time (SvcTimePeriod) to extend the condition after the initiating bit is turned off. Times, less than one scan, are ineffective for CAT since the output demand from InDrv is immediately written to the output of the module after the time expires. PAT can use the shorter times for the Ovrd condition to attenuate the override rate i.e. shorter pulses than would be used for contiuous override. In either case forceback tracking should be used in the custom function driver to prevent a bounce back after the override-input clears.

Forceback (FrcBkOut) is constructed as a complex output as follows: Value = Actual Position for OD Type = DIAT = Position Demand for OD Type = CAT, DAT, or PAT Note: there is a case for DIAT operation and OD S10-9 set true where the OD Control Station Position Display follows PosDisplay input. For this case Forceback must be reconstructed in the configuration (with a CMPT block) using the source of PosDisplay because the ODBuffer does not update the Forceback value to match PosDisplay. High Range = 100 Low Range = 0 Auctioneering Reference = 0 Reset = Output Change Flag (makes the signal available without additional input reference)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Increase Velocity Limt = 0 Decrease Velocity Limit = 0 Increase Block = Increase Block OR Output High Limit Decrease Block = Decrease Block OR Output Low Limit Value Forceback = Manual Request, Output Change Flag, OR either Override
For applications of OD Type = CAT, DAT, or PAT (positioning to demand) the above forceback signal is referenced by the FrcbkIn of the Output Demand Limiter. For PAT Outputs via OD Type = DIAT the PATOut Freeze logic should include Local Switch Set or ODPushbutton Operation to cause value forceback for the PAT loop during OD manual operation. (When OD Type = DIAT, the Output Change Flag is not set by the Control Station manual operation.)
Setter Forceback (SetterFBOut) is constructed as a complex output as follows: Value = SetDisplay or value from Setter
High Range = SetHiLim parameter Low Range = SetLoLim parameter Auctioneering Reference = 0 Reset = Setter Change Flag
Status = Value Forceback (16) if Setter Change Flag is true
If there is no other forceback application, the above forceback signal is referenced by the FrcbkIn of the Setter Limiter (or Setter AutoMan if no Limiter applied) and no Setter Change Flag Reset logic is required. If there is other forceback application to the DPU setter value, this forceback must be merged with the other forceback conditional on the tracking option(s) selected for the DPU setter value and its condition (AutoActv or ValueForceback). The Setter Change Flag Reset input to the OD Buffer should be true when the DPU setter is not permitted to follow the OD Control Station operation (ValueForceback and ValueForceback track option or AutoActv and Auto track option). The logic status will have to be wired from the setter molecule to the element output control molecule to be combined with the InCtl STAT field. Inputs. Use CMPT Block to build an OutDrv attribute to be read by InDrv. Output Control:. For CAT, PAT, DAT InDrvVAL is 0 100% Provide for scaling and constraints in driver Note: while Output Change Flag true, the Output Driver is controling the Output. The buffer then reads it for forceback. For DIAT operation: InDrvRST and AREF fields are used as Move and MoveTest from PATOut Block. Check Output Driver programming for scaling and constraints.

Positioning Buffer (PB)

Overview
The PB buffer is used for communicating with the positioning module, and provides configuration parameters, inputs, outputs, and status related to the module. Note that the PB buffer is supported only in the DPU4F model of the maxDPU. The Positioning module executes custom logic prepared in a programming language that is first compiled and then downloaded via serial cable to flash memory. This custom logic when combined with one of a family of Termination cards implements an application such as Turbine Valve control. Refer to the maxPAC Positioning Module Programming Guide and the maxPAC Hardware Reference Guide.

This atomic block also includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameters to 1, the DPU uses entered simulated point values rather than actual values from attached I/O. Additional atributes exist to enter simulated values.

Special note: The 4 sets of attributes labeled FAParam, FDParam, FAStat, and FDStat are denoted as Fast. The meaning of this is related to the SvcTimeBase attribute value assignment. When set to Critical these select attribute values are exchanged with the module at the DPMS CriticalTimer rate matching the buffer execution rate. All other values are exchanged no faster than the HighTimer rate, based on the SvcTimeBase assignment, even when Critical is selected. However, caution should be exercised in making this assignment, as the total complement of I/O cards assignable to a DPU may become limited by the I/O bus load capability. Refer to the I/O Bus Configuration Tool for estimating load capacity.

Quad Pulse Adjusting Type Buffer (QPAT)

Overview
Use the Quad Pulse Adjusting Type buffer to send on-time values to field devices that require timed outputs. To configure this buffer, specify span types for up to 4 channels. Use the type parameters (AITyxx) to specify the following available types:
1 4 to 20 mA 2 20 to4 mA 3 0 to 20 mA 4 20 to 0 mA 10 Custom
When you enter a span type per channel, maxDPUTools automatically fills in high and low range counts. To enter your own custom span type, use 10 for custom (AITyxx = 10). For custom QPAT types, you must enter your own high and low range counts. Use calibrate methods to place a milliampere setting into the Low Count (AILloCnt0x) and High Count (AIHiCnt0x) range parameters. When a calibrate method is invoked, via a write from the HMI, the count value in AISLCnt0x or in AISHCnt0x (command attributes) is placed into the corresponding range parameter.
High and Low Limits

The maxPAC version on the QPAT includes status attributes (Out0xLimitHi or Out0xLimitLo) that represent the state of the High and Low Limit inputs. These inputs are normally wired to the limit contacts of the drive unit. The contacts are expected to be normally closed and open when the limit is reached. When the contact is open (the limit exceeded) the status will be equal to one. The jumper on the card to ignore the limit does not affect the status attributes.

278589
This atomic block also includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameters to 1, the DPU uses entered simulated point values rather than actual values from attached I/O. SimStatus, another simulation parameter, lets you simulate hardware problems. Enter values for SIMAIxx, SimMove (position change based on any simulated stroke time), and SimStrokeTimexx (the time needed to open and close a valve). Attributes such as SimStatus and SIM0xLimitHi/Lo allow simulation of various hardware conditions. In addition, the buffer includes the following other parameters: Addr Alt ShDesc AltDesc Desc Gname Mode Enter a buffer address Enter an alternate short description in another language if necessary. Enter an alternate long description in another language if necessary. Enter a long description to identify the buffer on other displays. Enter a generic name for the buffer if it will be configured as part of a point hierarchy. The mode is set to 1 to allow the DPU to actively scan the associated I/O module. Set the parameter to 0 for off scan when you need to take the module offline for maintenance. Enter a zero if the card is a 564 style card and one if it is a maxPAC stye card. Set this parameter to 1 if the associated module is part of a redundant configuration; otherwise, set the parameter to 0 for non-redundant I/O. Enter a short description to appear on display logs where space is limited. Enter a tagname to identify the buffer in other locations, such as in a maxVUE graphics display. Note that the tagname applies to all the signals associated with the buffer. To tag an individual signal, use an Atag atomic block.

Resistance Temperature Detector Buffer (RTD)

Overview
Use the Resistance Temperature Detector Buffer (RTD) to make temperature signals from RTD input cards available for use by the algorithms. To configure this buffer, specify signal types for up to 8 channels. Use the signal type parameters (SigTypxx) to specify a type, where xx is the channel number from 01 to 08. Refer to the enumerated attributes section at the end of this section for a listing of available signal types. Each output quality is normally good, set to bad when: 1. The buffer cannot communicate with the module (all outputs bad quality). 2. An open circuit in the resistance thermodetector bridge is detected.

This atomic block also includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameters to 1, the DPU uses entered simulated point values rather than actual values from attached I/O. SimStatus, another simulation parameter, lets you simulate hardware problems. In addition, the buffer includes the following other parameters: Addr Alt ShDesc AltDesc Desc Gname Mode Enter a buffer address Enter an alternate short description in another language if necessary. Enter an alternate long description in another language if necessary. Enter a long description to identify the buffer on other displays. Enter a generic name for the buffer if it will be configured as part of a point hierarchy. The mode is set to 1 to allow the DPU to actively scan the associated I/O module. Set the parameter to 0 for off scan when you need to take the module offline for maintenance.

Set this parameter to 1 if the associated module is part of a redundant configuration; otherwise, set the parameter to 0 for non-redundant I/O. Enter a short description to appear on display logs where space is limited. Enter a tagname to identify the buffer in other locations, such as in a maxVUE graphics display. Note that the tagname applies to all the signals associated with the buffer. To tag an individual signal, use an Atag atomic block.

Serial Buffer
Detailed Description:
Serial Buffer
PortError
The main purpose of the Serial Buffer is to provide the serial communications capabilities through the maxDPUs serial ports. The buffer alone is not sufficient to meet all the remote link requirements. There may be two ways to access serial port through the buffer. First method is to write an application and to implement the serial protocol. Second method would be to utilize the new maxLINKs Transport Library, which will access the buffer instead of maxLINKs' serial port for communications with external devices. The built in Helper libraries would be used for the various protocols. The performance of the Serial Buffer will be more limited than maxLINKs. The serial buffer is a communication channel between the application and the maxDPU serial ports. It buffers the received and sent characters. 1K buffer barrels are provided for read and write separately for each port. The character string written to the OutStr attribute is stored in the write barrel, which in turn is sent to the serial port assigned. The read characters are stored in the read barrel and sent to the Workstations application on subscription/read to the InpStr attribute. Currently, only serial port one (SER1) is fully supported in the DPU; therefore, only one Serial Buffer should be configured in a DPU. In the future, a maximum of two Serial Buffers could be configured to communicate with two serial ports of a maxDPU. If more than two were configured, then the others would not get access to the serial ports More details of the Serial Buffers attributes:

Used to timeout the incoming message frame. While receiving characters, the buffer looks for the end of message sequence, if MsgEndSeq attribute is nonblank. If the end of message sequence is found, then the character frame is complete. The completed frame is written to the buffer (InpStr). If there is a delay more than message time out (MsgTimeOut) between two characters, then the received characters so far are terminated with MsgEndSeq characters and written to the buffer (InpStr). In addition, RxTimeOut will be incremented. If MsgEndSeq is blank then it is not used for end of character frame detection. RxTimeOut will not be incremented on timeout.

Enter 1 to start the loopback test. For the test, a loopback connector is required. Loopback is a continuous test in which a stream of characters ( blank to ~ - tilde) is sent and received by putting a loopback connector on the serial port. Once a complete set of characters is received, the loopback pass count is incremented; otherwise, the loopback fail count is incremented. The status of loopback is displayed in the PortErrorText attribute. Enter 0 to stop the loopback test. If loopback connector is not inserted, the pass and fail count will be 0, because no characters are being received, and Serial Buffer will wait indefinitely for a character to appear at the port. 1 = On Scan, 0 = Off Scan User Obj supplying Alarm Text Port Error Text Explanation text for the PortError attribute value. Message Timeout for end sequence receive While receiving characters, the buffer looks for the end of sequence. If it is found, then the character frame is complete. The complete frame is written to the buffer (InpStr). If there is a delay more than message timeout (MsgTimeOut) between two characters, then the received characters are terminated with end of sequence. RxTimeOut will be incremented. If MsgEndSeq is blank then it is used as an end of character frame detection. RxTimeOut will not be incremented. Message end sequence The hex value of two end of sequence characters. If it is blank, then it is not used while receiving characters.
Note: The following restriction applies to ByteSize and BaudRate: The number of data bits must be 5 to 8 bits.

1. Connect (wire from) the PLC to the maxDPU Serial Port 1, a modem may be required.

2. Use maxDPUTools to configure a Serial Buffer in the DPU setting all the parameters (including TagName). 3. Install the configuration into the DPU (or DPU pair, its nice to have backup). 4. Write an Application that runs in the Workstation and communicates with the PLC via the Serial Buffer. The Application must basically do the following: a) b) c) d) e) <Initialization> Write a 3 to Serial Buffer attribute Flush (Purge Input and Output barrels). Write a 1 to Serial Buffer attribute ClearStats (Reset errors and statistics). Initialize the modem, if applicable. Read the Serial Buffer attribute PortError (confirm no errors before proceeding) Subscribe to the Serial Buffer attribute InpStr with a small maximum time and a large minimum time (e.g., 1/10 sec and 10 sec). <Read PLC data> For each desired PLC Data Item, do the following: (a) Write to the Serial Buffer attribute OutStr the sequence of bytes to send to the PLC, requesting a read of the desired PLC data item. (b) A Subscribe Data Update will occur as a result of the PLC responding with the desired data item. The response SBP Type will be PUBYTE with the number of bytes in the object member m_NumElements (c) Empty Subscribe Data Updates will also occur, and could be ignored. The empty SBP Type will be LONG with a data value of 65547 (d) Random and bursts of errors are to be expected, tolerated, and recorded. However, sustained errors should cause the application to start over with initialization.
Example of Subscribe Data Update code: SBP_UBYTE long short CString char *pu; l; DataType; myvalue; buffer[420]; // Pointer to response data in SBP Object // long type data to check for empty response // data type of the SBP subscribe response // string to hold text about the response // buffer to hold the actual binary PLC response
if(p->m_Status) // check if good or bad { myvalue.Format("Serial Update failure: %xx", p->m_Status); nrBytes = 0; } else { nrBytes = p->m_MessageData.m_NumElements; // number elements

Binary PLC Interface

The maxDPU Serial Buffer supports interfacing with both ASCII and binary PLC devices. Interfacing with ASCII PLCs is accomplished in Visual Basic via the normal MCSSbpCtls Write and Read functions. Interfacing with binary PLCs is accomplished via the MCSSbpCtls WritePLC and ReadPLC functions. The WritePLC and ReadPLC are the same as the Write and Read, except the Visual Basic String or Variant contains Hexadecimal characters (instead of ASCII) which are converted to/from binary, between the SBP and the Serial Buffer.

subscribes to a service (e.g., the InpStr attribute of a Serial buffer) and reads or writes to a service (e.g., write the OutStr attribute of a Serial buffer). Note that the Read or Write operations can be asynchronous to the Subscribe operation. When the TestSerial program is initially loaded, it starts running with a subscription to _lss.time. To use the program: 1. Click the Stop button 2. enter a subscribe address, read address, or write address, and then click the Subscribe, Read, or Write button, respectively. 3. The Write HEX button is the same as the Write button, except that the Write Message is first converted from hexadecimal to binary before it is sent to the write address. The Cycle button is used along with a loop back connector on the serial port. The Cycle will write the write message to the write address, then read from the read address until the entire message responds back (or times-out). If the message response times out, the Msg Errors is incremented. Otherwise, the response is compared with the write message. TheMsgDiff is incremented if they are not the same. The following is a snapshot of the Test Serial program dialog display.

The above example illustrates the following information: The MsgCount displays that a total of 27 subscribe updates (and reads) occurred since the last subscribe was initiated. The Subscribe Addr Edit field provides for entry of the full address to the Serial Buffers input attribute, which was [mcspc102]/group2./#213.InpStr . The Read Address Edit field provides for entry of the full address to the Serial Buffers input attribute, which was [mcspc102]/group2./#213.InpStr . The Write Address Edit field provides for entry of the full address to the Serial Buffers output attribute, which was [mcspc102]/group2./#213.OutStr . The Write Message.

Thermocouple Buffer (TC)

Overview
Use the Thermocouple Buffer (TC) signal to make temperature signals from thermocouple input cards available for use by the algorithms. To configure this buffer, specify signal types for up to 16 channels. Use the signal type parameters (SigTypxx) to specify a type, where xx is the channel number from 01 to 16. Refer to the enumerated attributes section at the end of this section for a listing of available signal types. You may direct this buffer to use a remote temperature for reference junction compensation by pointing to the temperature source. For example, if the thermocouple reference junction was located in a cabinet remote from the thermocouple module, the remote cabinet temperature could be monitored by RTDs that this buffer may point to. Set the remote cold junction parameter (RmtCJxx parameter) to 1 to perform a remote cold junction calculation; otherwise, set this parameter to 0 to disable. Each output quality is normally good, set to bad when: 1. The buffer cannot communicate with the module (all outputs bad quality). 2. Open thermocouple is detected.

This atomic block also includes a set of simulation parameters to allow you to create a simulated point environment for system checkout and testing. When you set the SimST parameters to 1, the DPU uses entered simulated point values rather than actual values from attached I/O. SimStatus, another simulation parameter, lets you simulate hardware problems. In addition, the buffer includes the following other parameters: Addr Alt ShDesc AltDesc Enter a buffer address Enter an alternate short description in another language if necessary. Enter an alternate long description in another language if necessary.

Set this parameter to 1 if the associated module is part of a redundant configuration; otherwise, set the parameter to 0 for non-redundant I/O. Enter a short description to appear on display logs where space is limited. Enter a tagname to identify the buffer in other locations, such as in a maxVUE graphics display. Note that the tagname applies to all the signals associated with the buffer. To tag an individual signal, use an Atag atomic block.
