MasterLogic - Experion Architectural Features
MasterLogic (ML) PLC is one of the controllers in Experion architecture
Power Supply Modules are available to accept 110V/230V AC with 5.5A and
8.5A, and 24V DC voltage with 7.5A
MLDP (MasterLogic Dedicated Protocol) server is embedded in the FENet

Module of the Master Logic System
It provides a seamless integration with the Experion Server
Experion Server can access ML200R memory areas through MLDP

MLDP saves engineering time
Allows better memory access
Fast Ethernet Communication (FEnet) Modules of the ML200R System reside

on the Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) Network
FEnet provides a high-level interface with Experion PKS Servers

It enables Peer-to-Peer Communication with other controllers in the Experion
Architecture
Peer Control Data Interface is used for Peer to Peer Communication with other
controllers in the Experion Architecture

2/2/2012
Honeywell
MasterLogic to Experion Interface
FEnet enables efficient integration between C300 and MasterLogic

200R PLC Controllers
Fast Ethernet at 100mbps
Three levels of redundancy are implemented in the ML200R

Redundant PLC
Two Ethernet modules (FEnet)
Redundant Experion PKS Server
IEC Data types are supported by the ML200R System

Ex: BOOL, BYTE, WORD, INT etc
Analog Input failure in the ML200R sets the PV status to BAD for
corresponding points in Experion using MLDP protocol

2/2/2012
ML200R uses built-in Scaling functionality available in Experion for configuration

and maintenance
Clock Synchronization can be configured between Experion Server and

MasterLogic PLCs
This also makes engineers work more comfortable
Experion Server acts as a Master and periodically monitors the RTC (Real Time
Clock) parameters of all MasterLogic PLCs in the same network
When drift between two clocks exceeds configured limits, PLC clock is synchronized
with Experion Server
MasterLogic PLC supports Sequence of Events (SOE) reporting
DI SOE module is also available for SOE reporting
MaterLogic PLC alarms and events can be archived in Experion
Experion Server sends a heart beat signal to all MasterLogic PLCs
A status indicating bit is configured as an SOE variable in the ML200R

The status of this variable can be viewed in the SOE display in Experion
It is dedicated I/O module
These alarms are consolidated with the Experion System alarms and events
The heart beat signal is a communication health status indicator

Restart Mode in PLC
Restart Mode decides the method of initialization of the variables and

system at the time of Startup of the PLC Operation
At the time of Startup of the Standby PLC, it executes initialization of the
variables according to the Restart Mode programmed for it. But after
that, it receives the data and program backup from the master PLC
Restart Mode Types
Cold Restart and Warm Restart
Initialization of the variables depend on the following:

Variables configured with Default Settings
Variables defined in Retain Area of Memory
Variables whose initial value is programmed in the initialization task of PLC

Precautions

2/2/2012
Honeywell
Precautions for System Configuration:

HS Link Station Number should be unique for every module
Station number of Pnet interface module must be set by the SyCon
Configuration Tool
For an FEnet module, the IP addresses must be unique for all modules in the
network
Use cable that complies with the specifications in the data sheet
If the remote communication cable is connected, keep the cable far away
from the Power line or inductive noise
Improper cable connections (snarled cable, redundant connections) may
cause communication errors
While the power of the module is ON, mounting and dismounting of the
module will cause system errors and the CPU module will halt

Limitations of SoftMaster - SIM
SoftMaster - SIM can be used to simulate only a non-redundant ML200

PLC and not a redundant ML200R PLC
SoftMaster - SIM doesnt support functions related to Communication

Modules
In a physical ML200R PLC a watchdog timer can be set to prevent

errors
In SoftMaster - SIM, watchdog timer does not work since scan time in
SoftMaster - SIM is longer than in a physical ML PLC
SoftMaster - SIM does not support all I/O modules defined in SoftMaster

Objective
The objective of this LAB is to demonstrate the creation and simulation of a Discrete Logic in the
ML200R PLC.
Prerequisites
Soft Master installed and configured on the Experion Server
Introduction

o Understand the process mentioned below which needs to be implemented
o Create I/O listing
o Develop Ladder Logic to implement the process
5
o Simulate the Ladder Logic using Soft Master simulator

o Monitor and operate the simulated I/O
4/25/2012


Process:
Create Control Logic with the Ladder diagram for the Elevator example as shown in the schematic.
The following hardware specifications define the equipment used in the Elevator;
Output Elements:
M1 = Motor to drive the platform UP
M2 = Motor to drive the platform DOWN
Input Elements:
LS1 = NC limit switch to indicate the UP position
LS2 = NC limit switch to indicate the DOWN position
START = NO push-button for START
STOP = NO push-button for STOP
UP = NO push-button for UP command
DOWN = NO push-button for DOWN command

4/25/2012

The following narrative description indicates the required sequence of events for the Elevator
System:
1. When the START button is pushed, the platform is driven to the DOWN position.
2. When the STOP button is pushed, the platform is halted at whatever position it occupies at
that time.
3. When the UP button is pushed, the platform, if it is not in DOWN motion, is driven to the
UP position.
4. When the DOWN button is pushed, the platform, if it is not in UP motion, is driven to the
DOWN position.
Explanation:
The START button latching logic will initially be created by using the following variables:
PB1 for Start

LS2 for DOWN position
CR1 as Contact Relay for START button latching
MOTOR2 for DOWN motion
The STOP sequence logic, along with the master control for the entire system will then be created
by using the following variables:
PB2 for Stop
CR2 as Contact Relay for STOP button latching
CR3 as Master control for entire system
The Up-Down sequence logic for the platform using variables:
PB3 for Up
PB4 for Down
LS1 for UP position
MOTOR1 for UP motion
CR4 as Contact Relay for UP button latching
CR5 as Contact Relay for DOWN button latching

System Configuration Precautions

IP Addresses are unique for all FEnet Modules
In the event of repeated addresses, a transmission error may result leading

to incorrect communication.
Unique HS Link Station No. for all stations for efficient use of the HS
Link service
Communication cable used should be as per specifications
Ensure disconnected or short cables prior to installation
Ensure firm communication cable connector installation
For remote communication cable connections, ensure immunity from
power line or inductive noise
Ensure systematic cable routing to avoid disconnection or connector
damage
If using One IP solution then IP address configured for FEnet module
must have even number in last octet
One IP solution is mainly used for 3rd Party HMI Systems which uses
single IP and do not support SCADA redundancy

2/2/2012
Honeywell
Introduction
Debugging is a function by which the user can trace the program as a step unit
Debugging a program has the following implications
In a Ladder logic, the rung is the step unit

Rung can be traced or evaluated by applying breakpoints in the debugger
Debugging function is available only for a non-redundant ML200 PLC configuration

ML200R Simulator supports debugging
The simulator allows debugging when a PLC is unavailable
Debugging function is available only with the PLC in online mode

Debug is not available if PLC operation is in Run mode
Debug function is available only when the program in SoftMaster and program in PLC
are identical
If an error occurs in the PLC, the debugging is stopped
User has to clear the error to run the debug operation
90
45

2/2/2012

Debugging Activities
Debugging a program comprises of the following activities
Go
RUN the complete program under debugger control
Go to Cursor
RUN the program up to a cursor position in a selected step
Step Into
RUN a single step of a program
Step Out
Step out of the current single stepped function or sub-routine
For a non-subroutine block, the program will execute the next step
Step Over
RUN the program to next step
Ignore and do not execute the next subroutine block and run the program to
the next step
Set/Remove Breakpoints
Breakpoints evaluate a step

Consider Side A is running as Master and Side B is running as

Standby
Power supply of both CPU is failed and the CPU which was in Standby
mode is powered on first
In this case, powered on CPU stays in the standby mode and waits for
other (primary) CPU to turn on
To cause the standby to start as primary once it's in standby waiting for the
primary, turn switch to stop and back to run. It now runs as primary and
master light is lit.

Create a User Defined Function Block to Scale Analog Input

Practice
Objective
13
The objective of this lab is to create a user-defined function block to scale the Analog Input and
show the actual value.
Prerequisites
USB cable is connected between ML200R and Experion Server node
Introduction
For scaling the input, use the following formula:

Y = (((Y2 Y1) / (X2 X1))* (X X1)) + Y1
Where,
Y = Scaled Output
Y2 = Maximum Temperature Range.
Y1 = Minimum Temperature Range.
X2 = Maximum Count in ML.
X1 = Minimum Count in ML.
X = Input Received from Field
In class, we will use the Potentiometer in the kit to provide the Analog Input.
The potentiometer input is connected to Channel 0 of the 2MLF-AC8A I/O module in the kit.
Assume the range of analog input as 0 to 100 m3/hr and Count range as 0 to 16000
