INSTALLATION BIC-II The BIC-II should be mounted in an area that will allow operation within the specified operating temperature range and that is suitable for NEMA 4 enclosures and polycarbonate material. The front cover should be accessible and have sufficient room to swing open. Refer to Fig. 1 - Outline and Mounting Detail. It is advisable to keep the BIC-II away from high voltage or current runs, SCR control drives and RF interference.
START UP HARDWARE SET UP HOST / MILLBUS BAUD RATE Determine the serial communication baud rate of the host computer or PLC and open the SW 1 contact (1-5) corresponding to the desired baud rate. (Refer to Functional/Product Load Factor.) Close all other baud rate contacts. HOST / MILLBUS WORD LENGTH Determine the word length of each character of the host serial communication and set SW1 contact 6 accordingly. 7 bit word, even parity, one stop bit or 8 bit word no parity, one stop bit.
OPERATING MODE board A SW 2 SPARE 8 e.g. BIC-II BIC / BIC-II 7 e.g. BIC-II 6 › SW 2 - 6 : set contact to correspond to the desired protocol. › BIC : may be used when replacing a BIC with a BIC-II (refer to Functional \ Operating Modes \ BIC) › BIC-II : normally selected for most new applications BIC-II / MOD › SW 2 - 8 : set contact to correspond to the desired protocol. › BIC-II: as determined by SW 2-6 › MOD: Selected when the host device utilizes Modbus ASCII protocol.
FUNCTIONAL SERIAL COMMUNICATION In general, Milltronics products designed for serial communication transmit data over a bipolar current loop. This format allows for communication loop lengths of 3000 m (10,000 ft) as opposed to limited runs of 15 m (50 ft) as afforded by RS-232 or RS-422. Some Milltronics products use the RS-232 format for direct connection to a computer.
MODBUS MODE This mode permits the BIC-II to operate as a Modbus ASCII slave device. By utilizing register mapping similar to that used by most PLC’s, the BIC-II is easily configured to communicate with up to 6 Milltronics products. PRODUCT LOAD FACTOR Product Load Factor, is a value used to represent the amount of the BIC-II’s communication capacity utilized by a connected Milltronics product.
e.g. Communication with the following products is desired with the BIC-II Host/Millbus set to 9600. » 1 AiRanger XPL (EPROM software 2.2) » 1 AiRanger DPL (EPROM software 11.0) » 1 Liquid Ranger (9600 baud) » 1 AiRanger IV (9600 baud) Product Load Factor = 25 (XPL) + 30 (DPL) + 30 (LiquidRanger) + 30 (AiRanger IV) = 115 In this case 2 BIC-II’s would be required.
APPLICATIONS The following examples illustrate the most common applications to which the BIC-II may be applied. Refer to the example which best resembles the intended BIC-II application. SINGLE BIC-II - EXAMPLE An IBM compatible computer is to display the material inventory on hand, contained in 8 vessels monitored by a Milltronics level measurement product (e.g. AiRanger XPL). Refer to Figures for BIC-II general mounting and interconnection instructions.
BIC REPLACEMENT - EXAMPLE A BIC utilized for communication between an AiRanger DPL and a host device is to be replaced by a BIC-II. Disconnect the BIC and connect the AiRanger DPL communication cable to the BIC-II \ PORT1. Ensure the AiRanger DPL is operating at 4800 baud. Refer to the associated instruction manual. Connect the appropriate BIC-II, RS-232 or RS-422 port to the host device. Refer to Start Up\Hardware Set Up for BIC-II, board A, switch SW1 and SW2 contact settings.
MULTIPLE BIC-II’s - EXAMPLE A communication network is to be established which will require a PLC to communicate with 2 AiRanger IV’s set to 9600 baud and 4 AiRanger DPL’s with software revision number 2.3 EPROM’s. The AiRanger IV’s are located at opposite ends of the plant, and the AiRanger DPL’s are distributed in between. The PLC will be located in the control room 400 m away. The BIC-II Host/Millbus communications is to be at 9600 baud.

Performing a new ‘Self Test’ after an ‘Error Reset’ is recommended. If the cause of any persistent error cannot be determined contact Milltronics or your distributor. PROGRAM TIP PRODUCT MESSAGES Product messages transmitted from the Host to the BIC-II must be in the following format : SOM ➟ BIC-II I.D. ➟ PORT ➟ MSG ➟ EOM The BIC-II removes the ‘SOM’, ‘BIC-II I.D.’, ‘PORT’ and ‘EOM’, data fields and then adds the product ‘som’ and ‘eom’ data fields.
MODBUS PROTOCOL GENERAL In recent years, Modbus has become an industry standard communications protocol for PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers) and DCS’s (Distributed Control Systems). The BIC-II supports Modbus ASCII (non RTU) communications.
BIC-II GENERAL REGISTERS Self Test The BIC-II Self Test is an on-line self diagnostic feature which checks and reports on the health of the BIC-II hardware. Activate the BIC-II Self Test following: power up, write/read Port Initialization conflict, erroneous data, and as frequently as otherwise desired. Some MMI software packages may include provisions for diagnostics utilizing Modbus Function 8, codes 02 and 10. These operations are supported by the BIC-II.
Port Initialization A Port Initialization prepares the BIC-II to communicate with a Milltronics product. Write a Port Initialization message for each BIC-II product port used, before attempting to Read/Write product data. The product port will remain initialized indefinitely, however it is recommended, the Port Initialization registers be read and verified following: power up, power resumption, or erroneous data. If the product (or product baud rate) is changed, write a new Port Initialization.
Hold Condition Read the HOLD CONDITION register frequently during normal operation. A product HOLD occurs whenever a simplex convention product is taken out of the RUN mode. The HOLD status is updated when the associated product is returned to the RUN mode.
