Introduction 31004624 8/2009 Introduction 1 Introduction This chapter describes the STB NIB 2212 Advantys STB standard INTERBUS network interface module and its support for the island as an INTERBUS network node. The chapter begins with an introduction to the NIM and a discussion of its role as the gateway to the Advantys STB island. There is a brief overview of the island itself, followed by a description of the major characteristics of the INTERBUS fieldbus protocol.
Introduction What Is a Network Interface Module? Purpose Every island requires a network interface module (NIM) in the leftmost location of the primary segment. Physically, the NIM is the first (leftmost) module on the island bus. Functionally, it is the gateway to the island bus. That is, all communications to and from the island bus pass through the NIM. The NIM also has an integrated power supply that provides logic power to the island modules.
Introduction Integrated Power Supply The NIM’s built-in 24-to-5 VDC power supply provides logic power to the I/O modules on the primary segment of the island bus. The power supply requires a 24 VDC external power source. It converts the 24 VDC to 5 V of logic power for the island. Individual STB I/O modules in an island segment generally draw a logic bus current of between 50 and 265 mA.
Introduction Structural Overview The following figure illustrates the multiple roles of the NIM.
Introduction What Is Advantys STB? Introduction Advantys STB is an assembly of distributed I/O, power, and other modules that function together as an island node on an open fieldbus network. Advantys STB delivers a highly modular and versatile slice I/O solution for the manufacturing and process industries. Advantys STB lets you design an island of distributed I/O where the I/O modules can be installed as close as possible to the mechanical field devices that they control.
Introduction Extension Segments When you are using a standard NIM, Advantys STB I/O modules that do not reside in the primary segment can be installed in extension segments. Extension segments are optional segments that enable an island to be a truly distributed I/O system. The island bus can support as many as six extension segments. Special extension modules and extension cables are used to connect segments in a series.
Introduction Preferred Modules An island bus can also support those auto-addressable modules referred to as preferred modules. Preferred modules do not mount in segments, but they do count as part of the 32-module maximum system limit. A preferred module can connect to an island bus segment through an STB XBE 1100 EOS module and a length of STB XCA 100x bus extension cable.
Introduction Enhanced CANopen Devices You may also install one or more enhanced CANopen devices on an island. These devices are not auto-addressable, and they must be installed at the end of the island bus. If you want to install enhanced CANopen devices on an island, you need to use an STB XBE 2100 CANopen extension module as the last module in the last segment.
Introduction About INTERBUS Introduction INTERBUS implements a master/slave network model. It can communicate with up to 512 nodes over a distance of 12.8 km, and can read 1024 inputs and write 1024 outputs in 4 ms. Despite exceptional configuration flexibility, system performance and the reliability of I/O data have not been compromised. Each network slave has an in connector for receiving data and an out connector for transmitting data on the ring.
Introduction Physical Layer The physical layer contains a single twisted pair of shielded wires. The STB NIB 2212 INTERBUS implements the SUPI 3 (serial universal peripheral interface) ASIC from Phoenix Contact. Network Topology The INTERBUS network observes a master/slave model with active ring topology, having all devices integrated in a closed transmission path.
Introduction Node Addressing The INTERBUS master device is self-configuring because INTERBUS slave devices are auto-addressed according to their sequence in a serial ring structure. The master identifies read/write data in terms of a node’s relative position in the ring, not by a fixed address. The sequential location of slaves corresponds to the order of input and output data in the master's buffer. The ring structure uses a distributed shift register.

In the absence of this detection (or if the node has no out connector at all), the network ring is closed.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module LED Physical Description Overview The seven LEDs implemented in the STB NIB 2212 INTERBUS NIM are visual indications of the operating status of the island bus on an INTERBUS network. The LED array is located at the top of the NIM front bezel.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module Using the LED Tables Individual blinks are approximately 200 ms. There is a 1-second interval between blink sequences. For example: z blinking: blinks steadily, alternating between 200 ms on and 200 ms off. z blink 1: blinks once (200 ms), then 1 second off. z blink 2: blinks twice (200 ms on, 200 ms off, 200 ms on), then 1 second off. z blink N: blinks N (some number of) times, then 1 second off.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module Advantys STB Island Status LEDs About the Island Status LEDs The following table describes: z the island bus condition(s) communicated by the LEDs z the colors and blink patterns used to indicate each condition As you refer to the table, keep in mind the following: z It is assumed that the PWR LED is on continuously, indicating that the NIM is receiving adequate power. If the PWR LED is off, logic power (see page 37) to the NIM is off or insufficient.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module RUN (green) ERR (red) TEST (yellow) Meaning off blink: 2 off The NIM has detected a module assignment error; the island bus is not started. blink: 5 off invalid internal triggering protocol blink: 6 off The NIM detects no I/O modules on the island bus. blinking (steady) off The NIM detects no I/O modules on the island bus ... or ... No further communications with the NIM are possible.

The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module Power Supply Interface Introduction The NIM’s built-in power supply requires 24 VDC from an external SELV-rated power source. The connection between the 24 VDC source and the Advantys STB island is the two-receptacle connector illustrated below.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module Connectors Screw-type and spring-type connectors are provided with the NIM. Replacement connectors are also available. The following illustrations show two views of each power connector type.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module Logic Power Introduction Logic power is a 5 VDC power signal on the island bus that the I/O modules require for internal processing. The NIM has a built-in power supply that provides logic power. The NIM sends the 5 V logic power signal across the island bus to support the modules in the primary segment. External Source Power CAUTION IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION The power components are not galvanically isolated.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module Logic Power Flow The figure below shows how the NIM’s integrated power supply generates logic power and sends it across the primary segment: The figure below shows how the 24 VDC signal is distributed to an extension segment across the island: The logic power signal is terminated in the STB XBE 1100 module at the end of the segment (EOS). Island Bus Loads The built-in power supply provides logic bus current to the island.
The STB NIB 2212 NIM Module Selecting a Source Power Supply for the Island’s Logic Power Bus Logic Power Requirements An external 24 VDC power supply is needed as the source for logic power to the island bus. The external power supply connects to the island’s NIM. This external supply provides the 24 V input to the built-in 5 V power supply in the NIM. The NIM delivers the logic power signal to the primary segment only.

How to Configure the Island 31004624 8/2009 How to Configure the Island 3 Introduction The information in this chapter describes the auto-addressing and autoconfiguration processes. An Advantys STB system has an auto-configuration capability in which the actual configuration of I/O modules on the island is read and saved to Flash. The removable memory card is discussed in this chapter. The card is an Advantys STB option for storing configuration data offline.
How to Configure the Island How Do Modules Automatically Get Island Bus Addresses? Introduction Each time that the island is powered up or reset, the NIM automatically assigns a unique island bus address to each module on the island that engages in data exchange. All Advantys STB I/O modules and preferred devices engage in data exchange and require island bus addresses.

How to Configure the Island How to Auto-Configure Default Parameters for Island Modules Introduction All Advantys STB I/O modules are shipped with a set of predefined parameters that allow an island to be operational as soon as it is initialized. This ability of island modules to operate with default parameters is known as auto-configuration.
How to Configure the Island How to Install the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card Introduction CAUTION LOSS OF CONFIGURATION: MEMORY CARD DAMAGE OR CONTAMINATION The card’s performance can be degraded by dirt or grease on its circuitry. Contamination or damage may create an invalid configuration. z z z Use care when handling the card. Inspect for contamination, physical damage, and scratches before installing the card in the NIM drawer. If the card does get dirty, clean it with a soft dry cloth.
How to Configure the Island Installing the Card Use the following procedure to install the memory card: Step 1 Action Punch out the removable memory card from the plastic card on which it is shipped. Make sure that the edges of the card are smooth after you punch it out. 48 2 Open the card drawer on the front of the NIM. If it makes it easier for you to work, you may pull the drawer completely out from the NIM housing.
How to Configure the Island Removing the Card Use the following procedure to remove the memory card from the NIM. As a handling precaution, avoid touching the circuitry on the card. Step 31004624 8/2009 Action 1 Open the card drawer. 2 Push the removable memory card out of the drawer through the round opening at the back. Use a soft but firm object like a pencil eraser.
How to Configure the Island Using the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card to Configure the Island Introduction A removable memory card is read when an island is powered on or during a reset operation. If the configuration data on the card is valid, the current configuration data in Flash memory is overwritten. A removable memory card can be active only if an island is in edit mode. If an island is in protected mode (see page 106), the card and its data are ignored.
How to Configure the Island Initial Configuration and Reconfiguration Scenarios Use the following procedure to set up an island bus with configuration data that was previously saved (see page 105) to a removable memory card. You can use this procedure to configure a new island or to overwrite an existing configuration. (NOTE: The use of this procedure destroys your existing configuration data.) Step Action Result 1 Install the removable memory card in its drawer in the NIM (see page 47).
How to Configure the Island Configuring Multiple Island Buses with the Same Data You can use a removable memory card to make a copy of your configuration data; then use the card to configure multiple island buses. This capability is particularly advantageous in a distributed manufacturing environment or for an OEM (original equipment manufacturer). NOTE: The island buses may be either new or previously configured, but the NIMs must all have the same part number.
How to Configure the Island What is the RST Button? Summary The RST function is basically a Flash memory overwriting operation. This means that RST is functional only after the island has been successfully configured at least once. All RST functionality is performed with the RST button, which is enabled only in edit mode (see page 50). Physical Description CAUTION UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION OVERWRITTEN—RST BUTTON Do not attempt to restart the island with the RST button.
How to Configure the Island How to Overwrite Flash Memory with the RST Button Introduction CAUTION UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION DATA OVERWRITTEN—RST BUTTON Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. Pushing the RST button (see page 53) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory default operating parameters. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
How to Configure the Island Overwriting Flash Memory with Factory Default Values The following procedure describes how to use the RST function to write default configuration data to Flash memory. Follow this procedure if you want to restore default settings to an island. This is also the procedure to use to update the configuration data in Flash memory after you add an I/O module to a previously auto-configured island bus.

Fieldbus Communications Support 31004624 8/2009 Fieldbus Communications Support 4 Introduction This chapter describes how the INTERBUS master sets up communications between itself and an Advantys STB island bus. The chapter describes the parameterization, configuration, and diagnostics services that are performed in order to configure the island bus as a node on an INTERBUS network.
Fieldbus Communications Support The INTERBUS ID Code Introduction In the simplest terms, the INTERBUS ID code is a 16-bit word that describes the data type and data length of network devices. The ID cycle is part of the INTERBUS network’s initialization process. After determining the length of its own data during network initialization, every network device reports its functionality and byte length in the two-byte ID code.
Fieldbus Communications Support Data Length The following table shows the relationship between the actual data length of the island and the length of the code on INTERBUS. The actual data length (anywhere from 0 to 16 words) represents the greater of the input or output data length.
Fieldbus Communications Support Data Exchange Introduction This topic discusses the manner in which bit packed process image data is exchanged between the STB NIB 2212 NIM and an INTERBUS fieldbus master. NOTE: In this discussion, data and words described as input and output are defined relative to the master. For example, the master receives input data and transmits output data.
Fieldbus Communications Support The Internal Process Image The STB NIB 2212’s process image contains memory areas (buffers) for the temporary storage of input and output data. The internal process image is part of the NIM’s island bus scanner area. The island bus manages data exchange in both directions: z input data from the island bus—The island bus scanner operates continuously, gathering data as well as status and confirmation bits and putting them into the process image’s input buffer.
Fieldbus Communications Support Input and Output Data Exchange The application of the INTERBUS bit packing rules to the sample island (see page 78) assembly (in the Applications Example chapter) will result in 4 words of output data and 10 words of input data. The tables that follow show how digital data is bit packed for optimization, and how data, status, and echo output data (from outputs) appear in the PLC as the same data type (digital input data). In these tables, N refers to the island node number.
Fieldbus Communications Support Control and Status Words Introduction Understanding the manner in which the INTERBUS master’s control word corresponds to the NIM’s status word is crucial to gathering diagnostic information from the STB Advantys island. Output image and input image are defined relative to the master. When the INTERBUS master requests diagnostic data from the island, the requested information will be delivered in the low byte of the NIM’s status word.
Fieldbus Communications Support Process Data Flow During data exchange, the master writes the output image, including the control word. The high byte of the master’s control word specifies the information requested from slave devices. The slaves respond with a status word in which the high byte (selector) value corresponds to that of the control word.
Fieldbus Communications Support Status Range The selector addresses one byte in the status range from the following table: Status Byte Selector Description NIM status 0h NIM status and diagnostics info global diagnostics indicates the occurrence of a fatal error or the detection of a network error (also reports local island bus errors) 1h low byte 2h high byte island bus diagnostics 3h diagnostics on the island bus island bus state 4h the communication state and diagnostics of the island bu
Fieldbus Communications Support Diagnostic Data Introduction This topic discusses the diagnostic and error data for the Advantys STB NIB 2212 INTERBUS NIM. For a status word’s given selector value, the corresponding information is transmitted in the word’s low byte.
Fieldbus Communications Support Bit Meaning of Value D7 1 = Advantys configuration software is controlling the output data of the island’s process image 0 = fieldbus master is controlling the output data of the island’s process image When one of the above errors occurs (except D3, protected mode), the NIM reports a module error to the INTERBUS network master. The user can then initiate an appropriate action.
Fieldbus Communications Support When the selector value is 02, global diagnostics high byte information is transmitted as the status word’s low byte value: Bit Meaning D0* internal triggering protocol error D1* module data length error D2* module configuration error D3 application parameter error D4 application parameter services or timeout error D5 reserved D6 reserved D7 reserved *fatal NIM errors NOTE: Errors marked with an asterisk (*) in the global diagnostics tables are fatal NIM e
Fieldbus Communications Support Island Bus State (Selector 04h) The island bus state represents the main states of the island bus scanner, the firmware that drives the island bus. When the selector value is 04, the island bus state information is transmitted as the status word’s low byte value: Byte Value Meaning 00h The island is initializing. 40h The island bus has been set to pre-operational mode, for example, by the reset function in the Advantys STB configuration software.
Fieldbus Communications Support Node Configured (Selector 05h–14h) Node configured is an array of 8 words. Each bit represents one specific addressable I/O module on the island bus. z z A value of 1 in a bit position indicates that the corresponding module is configured in the island system. A value of 0 indicates that the node is not configured as a slave to the master.
Fieldbus Communications Support Selector Value Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0 Status Data 120 119 118 117 116 115 114 113 modules 113–120 127 126 125 124 123 122 121 modules 121–127 ... 23h 24h The INTERBUS NIM supports a maximum of 32 modules. The first four bytes (15h– 18h) provide the 32 bits that represent the module locations in a typical island configuration. The remaining diagnostic bytes are available to support island expansion capabilities.
Fieldbus Communications Support Node Error (Selector 35h–44h) Node error is an array of 8 words. Each bit represents one specific addressable I/O module on the island bus. After the master receives an emergency message (not error-free) from a module, the corresponding bit is set: z z A value of 1 in a bit position indicates the presence of a newly received emergency message. A value of 0 in a bit position indicates that no values have changed since the last reading of the diagnostic buffer.
Fieldbus Communications Support Bit Meaning D4 reserved D5 reserved D6 reserved D7 reserved *Input and output word limitation failures are discussed further at WLF Node (Selector 46h). WLF Node (Selector 46h) When the selector value is 46h, the node ID of the module responsible for the word limit failure is sent in the status word’s low byte. When the low-byte value of the status word is FFh, the HMI panel (see page 10) is responsible for the word limit failure.
Fieldbus Communications Support Bit D2 Meaning of Value external failure 1 = the problem is on the fieldbus 0 = no problem on the fieldbus D3 protected mode 1 = NIM in protected mode—RST button is disabled and the island configuration requires a password to write to it 0 = NIM not in protected mode—RST button is enabled and the island configuration is not password-protected D4 removable memory card validity 1 = configuration on the removable memory card is invalid 0 = either the configuration on the r
Application Example 31004624 8/2009 Application Example 5 Introduction This chapter presents two examples for configuring the Advantys STB island on an INTERBUS network. Each example implements the same sample island assembly with an Advantys STB NIB 2212 INTERBUS NIM at the head.
Application Example Sample Island Assembly Introduction To complete the configuration example(s) in this chapter, you will need to implement a particular Advantys STB island assembly. Your island assembly is independent of the network’s master scanner because the island is represented by the NIM as a single node on the fieldbus network. Sample Island Assembly The sample I/O system used in this chapter’s application example(s) implements a variety of analog and digital modules.
Application Example The I/O modules in the above island assembly have the following island bus addresses: I/O Model Module Type Island Bus Address STB DDI 3230 two-channel digital input 1 STB DDO 3200 two-channel digital output 2 STB DDI 3420 four-channel digital input 3 STB DDO 3410 four-channel digital output 4 STB DDI 3610 six-channel digital input 5 STB DDO 3600 six-channel digital output 6 STB AVI 1270 two-channel analog input 7 STB AVO 1250 two-channel analog output 8 The N

Advanced Configuration Features 31004624 8/2009 Advanced Configuration Features 6 Introduction This chapter describes the advanced and/or optional configuration features that you can add to an Advantys STB island.
Advanced Configuration Features STB NIB 2212 Configurable Parameters Introduction This topic discusses the configuration of INTERBUS NIM parameters using the Advantys configuration software.
Advanced Configuration Features The Module Editor Window The NIM’s module editor window should resemble the following figure after you have displayed the configurable parameters using the above procedure: Values in the window are in decimal format by default. To display values in hexadecimal, check the hexadecimal box at the top of the window. Reserved Sizes (HMI to PLC) The network interprets data from the HMI as input and reads it from the input data table in the process image.
Advanced Configuration Features Reserved Sizes (PLC to HMI) The network transmits data to the HMI as output by writing it to the output data table in the process image. This table is shared with data for all output modules on the island bus. When the reserved size (PLC to HMI) value is selected, the range of available data sizes (in words) appears in the window (see the above figure). The maximum size includes both the data sent to the island modules and the PLC to HMI data.
Advanced Configuration Features CANopen Device Node IDs On the Parameters tab, you can set the maximum node ID of the last module on the island bus. Standard CANopen devices follow the last segment of STB I/O modules. CANopen modules are addressed by counting backwards from the value you enter here. The ideal node ID sequence is sequential. For example, if you have an island with five STB I/O modules and three CANopen devices, a maximum node ID of at least 8 (5 + 3) is required.
Advanced Configuration Features Configuring Mandatory Modules Summary As part of a custom configuration, you can assign mandatory status to any I/O module or preferred device on an island. The mandatory designation indicates that you consider the module or device critical to your application. If the NIM does not detect a healthy mandatory module at its assigned address during normal operations, the NIM stops the entire island.
Advanced Configuration Features Recovering from a Mandatory Stop WARNING UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/LOSS OF CONFIGURATION—RST BUTTON WHILE RECOVERING FROM MANDATORY STOP Pushing the RST button (see page 53) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory-default operating parameters, which do not support mandatory I/O status. z z Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. If a module is unhealthy, replace it with the same module type.
Advanced Configuration Features Prioritizing a Module Summary Using the Advantys configuration software, you can assign priority to digital input modules in your island assembly. Prioritization is a method of fine tuning the NIM’s I/O scan of the island bus. The NIM will scan modules with priority more frequently than other island modules. Limitations You can prioritize only modules with digital inputs. You cannot prioritize output modules or analog modules.
Advanced Configuration Features What Is a Reflex Action? Summary Reflex actions are small routines that perform dedicated logical functions directly on the Advantys island bus. They allow output modules on the island to act on data and drive field actuators directly, without requiring the intervention of the fieldbus master.
Advanced Configuration Features Configuring a Reflex Action Each block in a reflex action must be configured using the Advantys configuration software. Each block must be assigned a set of inputs and a result. Some blocks also require that you specify one or more user-preset values—a compare block, for example, requires that you preset threshold values and a delta value for hysteresis. Inputs to a Reflex Action The inputs to a reflex block include an enable input and one or more operational inputs.
Advanced Configuration Features Result of a Reflex Block Depending on the type of reflex block that you use, it will output either a Boolean or a word as its result.
Advanced Configuration Features For example, say you want to combine a counter block and a compare block in a nested reflex action. You want the result of the counter to be the operational input to the compare block. The compare block will then produce a Boolean as its result: Result 2 (from the compare block) is the result that the nested reflex action will send to an actual output.
Advanced Configuration Features Island Fallback Scenarios Introduction In the event of a communications interruption on the island or between the island and the fieldbus, output data is put into a fallback state. In this state, output data is replaced with pre-configured fallback values. This makes known the module’s output data values when the system recovers from this condition.
Advanced Configuration Features In most cases, an output module that has one of its channels dedicated to a reflex action goes to its configured fallback state if the module loses communication with the fieldbus master. The only exception is a two-channel digital output module that has both of its channels dedicated to reflex actions. In this case, the module may continue to solve logic after a loss of fieldbus communication.
Advanced Configuration Features Saving Configuration Data Introduction The Advantys configuration software allows you to save configuration data created or modified with this software to the NIM’s Flash memory and/or to the removable memory card (see page 47). Subsequently, this data can be read from Flash memory and used to configure your physical island. NOTE: If your configuration data is too large, you will receive a message when you attempt to save it.
Advanced Configuration Features Write-Protecting Configuration Data Introduction As part of a custom configuration, you can password-protect an Advantys STB island. Only authorized persons have write privileges to the configuration data currently stored in Flash memory: z Use the Advantys Configuration Software to password-protect an island’s configuration. z For some modules, it is possible to password-protect the island configuration through an embedded web site.
Advanced Configuration Features A Modbus View of the Island’s Data Image Summary A block of Modbus registers is reserved in the NIM to hold and maintain the island’s data image. Overall, the data image holds 9999 registers. The registers are divided into contiguous groups (or blocks), each dedicated to a specific purpose. Modbus Registers and Their Bit Structure Registers are16-bit constructs. The most significant bit (MSB) is bit 15, which is displayed as the leftmost bit in the register.
Advanced Configuration Features The Data Image The 9999 contiguous registers in the Modbus data image start at register 40001.
Advanced Configuration Features Each block has a fixed number of registers reserved for its use. Whether or not all the registers reserved for that block are used in an application, the number of registers allocated to that block remains constant. This permits you to know at all times where to begin looking for the type of data of interest to you. For example, to monitor the status of the I/O modules in the process image, look at the data in block 11 beginning at register 45392.
Advanced Configuration Features The Island’s Process Image Blocks Summary Two blocks of registers in the island’s data image (see page 108) are the focus for this discussion. The first block is the output data process image, which starts at register 40001 and goes to register 44096. The other block is the input data and I/O status process image, which also consumes 4096 registers (45392 through 49487).
Advanced Configuration Features Output Data Read/Write Capabilities The registers in the output data process image are read/write-capable. You can read (i.e., monitor) the process image using an HMI panel or the Advantys Configuration Software. The data content that you see when you monitor the output data image registers is updated in near-real time. The island’s fieldbus master also writes updated control data to the output data process image.
Advanced Configuration Features Predefined Diagnostics Registers in the Data Image Summary Thirty-five contiguous registers (45357 through 45391) in the island bus data image (see page 108) are provided for reporting diagnostic information. These registers have predefined meanings that are described below. They can be accessed and monitored through an HMI panel or by the Advantys configuration software. Island Communications Status Register 45357 describes the state of communications across the island bus.
Advanced Configuration Features 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 31004624 8/2009 Initialization is complete, the island bus is configured, the configuration matches, and the island bus is not started. Configuration mismatch—non-mandatory or unexpected modules in the configuration do not match, and the island bus is not started. Configuration mismatch—at least one mandatory module does not match, and the island bus is not started.
Advanced Configuration Features Error Reporting Each bit in register 45358 is used to report a global error condition. A value of 1 in the bit indicates that a specific global error has been detected: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 114 Fatal error. Because of the severity of the error, no further communications are possible on the island bus. Module ID error—a standard CANopen device is using a module ID reserved for the Advantys STB modules. Auto-addressing has failed.
Advanced Configuration Features Node Configuration The next eight contiguous registers (registers 45359 through 45366) display locations where modules have been configured on the island bus. This information is stored in Flash memory. At start up, the actual locations of the modules on the island are validated by comparing them to the configured locations stored in memory.
Advanced Configuration Features Node Assembly The next eight contiguous registers (registers 45367 through 45374) indicate the presence or absence of configured modules in locations on the island bus. This information is stored in Flash memory. At start up, the actual locations of the modules on the island are validated by comparing them to the configured locations stored in memory.
Advanced Configuration Features Emergency Messages The next eight contiguous registers (registers 45375 through 45382) indicate the presence or absence of newly received emergency messages for individual modules on the island. Each bit represents a module: z z A value of 1 in a given bit indicates that a new emergency message has been queued for the associated module.
Advanced Configuration Features Fault Detection The next eight contiguous registers (registers 45383 through 45390) indicate the presence or absence of operational faults detected on the island bus modules. Each bit represents a module: z z A value of 1 in a bit indicates that the associated module is operating and that no faults were detected. A value of 0 in a bit indicates that the associated module is not operating either because it has a fault or because it has not been configured.
Advanced Configuration Features NIM Status The high and low bytes in register 45391 report the status of the INTERBUS NIM: 1 The combined value of bits 0 and 1 indicates the NIM version. A value of 1 indicates the economy version. A value of 2 indicates the standard version. A value of 3 indicates the premium version. 2 A value of 1 in bit 2 indicates that either the input or output data exceeds its word limit.
Advanced Configuration Features An Example of a Modbus View of the Process Image Summary The following example shows what the output data process image and the input data and I/O status process image might look like when it represents a specific island bus configuration.
Advanced Configuration Features The I/O modules have the following island bus addresses (see page 44): I/O Model Module Type Island Bus Address STB DDI 3230 two-channel digital input 1 STB DDO 3200 two-channel digital output 2 STB DDI 3420 four-channel digital input 3 STB DDO 3410 four-channel digital output 4 STB DDI 3610 six-channel digital input 5 STB DDO 3600 six-channel digital output 6 STB AVI 1270 two-channel analog input 7 STB AVO 1250 two-channel analog output 8 The PDM
Advanced Configuration Features The three digital output modules utilize one Modbus register apiece for data. The analog output module requires two registers, one for each output channel. A total of five registers (registers 40001 through 40005) are used for this configuration: 1 2 The value represented in register 40004 is in the range +10 to -10 V, with 11-bit resolution plus a sign bit in bit 15.
Advanced Configuration Features The Input Data and I/O Status Process Image Now let’s look at the register allocation required to support the input data and I/O status process image (see page 111). This is the information that the NIM collects from the island modules so that it can be read by the fieldbus master or by some other monitoring device. All eight I/O modules are represented in this process image block.
Advanced Configuration Features In total, 18 registers (registers 45392 through 45409) are used to support our configuration: 124 31004624 8/2009

Advanced Configuration Features 126 31004624 8/2009
Advanced Configuration Features 31004624 8/2009 127
Advanced Configuration Features The HMI Blocks in the Island Data Image Summary An HMI panel that communicates using the Modbus protocol can be connected to the CFG port (see page 32) on the NIM. Using the Advantys configuration software, you can reserve one or two blocks of registers in the data image (see page 107) to support HMI data exchange. When an HMI panel writes to one of these blocks, that data is accessible to the fieldbus master (as inputs).
Advanced Configuration Features HMI Output Data Exchange In turn, output data written by the fieldbus master can be used to update enunciator elements on the HMI panel.
Advanced Configuration Features Test Mode Summary Test Mode indicates that the output data of the STB island’s process image is not controlled by a fieldbus master device, but is instead controlled by either the Advantys Configuration Software or an HMI. When the STB island is operating in Test Mode, the fieldbus master cannot write the STB island’s outputs, but can continue to read its inputs and diagnostic data.
Advanced Configuration Features Persistent Test Mode Use the Advantys Configuration Software to configure the STB island for Persistent Test Mode. When the download of this configuration is complete, Persistent Test Mode is activated. Thereafter, the STB island operates in Test Mode each time power is cycled to the island. When Persistent Test Mode is activated, the STB island’s process image output data is controlled exclusively by either the HMI or the configuration software.
Advanced Configuration Features Run-Time Parameters Introduction For STB modules, the Advantys Configuration Software provides the RTP (run-time parameters) feature. It can be used for monitoring and modifying selected I/O parameters and Island bus status registers of the NIM while the Island is running. This feature is available only in standard STB NIMs with firmware version 2.0 or later. RTP must be configured using the Advantys Configuration Software before it can be used.
Advanced Configuration Features Test Mode When the NIM is operating in test mode, the NIM’s output data process image (including the RTP request block) can be controlled either by the Advantys Configuration Software or by an HMI (depending upon the test mode configured). Standard Modbus commands can be used to access the RTP words. If the NIM is in test mode, the fieldbus master cannot write to the RTP request block in the NIM’s output data process image.
Advanced Configuration Features WARNING UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Write all bytes in the RTP request before you set the toggle+CMD and toggle+length bytes to the same new value. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Advanced Configuration Features Valid RTP Commands The following list shows valid commands (CMDs): Command (CMD) Code (Except the msb) Valid Node IDs Allowed State of the Addressed Node Data Bytes Enable RTP (Only After RTP Has Been Configured Using the Advantys Configuration Software) 0x08 127 N/A - Disable RTP 0x09 127 N/A - Reset Hot-Swap Bit 0x0A 1-32 N/A - Read Parameter 0x01 1-32, 127 pre-operational operational data bytes in response, length to be given Write Parameter 0x02
Advanced Configuration Features Valid RTP Status Messages The following list shows valid status messages: Status Byte Code Comment Success 0x00 or 0x80 0x00 for successful completion of a Disable RTP command Command not Processed due to Disabled RTP 0x01 - Illegal CMD 0x82 - Illegal Data Length 0x83 - Illegal Node ID 0x84 - Illegal Node State 0x85 Access is denied because a node is absent or not started.
Advanced Configuration Features Virtual Placeholder Summary The virtual placeholder feature lets you create a standard island configuration and depopulated variations of that configuration that share the same fieldbus process image, thereby letting you maintain a consistent PLC or fieldbus master program for various island configurations. The depopulated islands are physically built using only those modules that are not marked as not present, thus saving cost and space.
Advanced Configuration Features For example, the following island configuration contains a NIM, a PDM, 2 digital Input modules, 2 digital output modules, a digital relay output module, an analog input module, and an analog output module: After you assign Virtual Placeholder status to the DRC 3210 digital relay output module (by selecting Not Present in its Options tab), the Advantys STB configuration software marks the virtual placeholder module with a red "X" as shown below: For example, when you physic
