Machine operation using 20 freely assignable keys; these F01 to F20 labeled keys can be
application specifically inscribed and are provided to the controller as status bits. In addition,
situation-related soft-key actions can be assigned to these keys.
40 freely usable LEDs: These can be assigned the indicating states »ON«, »DARK«, »FLASHING«,
»INVERS FLASHING«. A green and a yellow LED is allocated to each function key.
Display of background bitmaps separately for the areas status, working and soft-key.
Representation of any freely programmable characters on the display.
Display of fixed texts with integrated variable values; 9 variable formats are available for
representation.
Setting up of several priority levels which can be changed related to situations; This workingcondition related management significantly offloads the programmable controller program.
Representation of the contents of a maximum of 214 programmable controller words as variables; In addition, 55 internal (predefined) variables are available.
Modification of the contents of any word within the transfer area; separate editors are available
for every variable format.
Monitoring of rising or falling edges of a maximum of 1024 consecutive bits; The assignment
of texts, the management of 3 priority levels (information, warnings and faults) keeping the timely
sequence as much as possible, organization of the FIRST MESSAGE, LAST MESSAGE, the individually
settable clearing behavior are tasks which are managed by the PCS 950 by itself.
Logging of messages with the CAME, WENT and ACKNOWLEDGED times is made by the PCS 950
itself. A logging memory is available for displayable (HISTORY) as well as for printable (MESSAGE
PRINTER) texts.
Printing of shift-related or order-related pages with any integrated internal or external variables.
Communication monitoring (wire-break, short circuit); A very efficient data transfer is secured
by the integrated priority management in connection with the intelligent package length
optimization, the high thruput rate and the fault tolerance.
8 timers with 8 daily repeating on-the-second ON/OFF switching points which can be freely
edited as internal variables.

BOSCH CL 300
The electrical connection between a programmable controller of any type and the PCS is effected by
a special adapter cable.
Data communication is based on a principle which can easily be understood:
The PCS writes functions or preset values into previously defined programmable controller word
areas. These functions or values are then read and interpreted by the programmable controller.
The programmable controller writes functions or actual values into previously defined word areas.
These functions or values are then automatically read and interpreted by the PCS.
Depending on the programmable controller, a maximum of 256 words (with
16 bits each) or a total of 4096 I/O, are available for PCS/programmable
controller communication.
The words from W 00 up to W 40 are permanently assigned in the PCSmidi
(see pages 8 to 15). Words 41 to 255 are available for any operating projects.
The words can be assigned individually.

Since small-sized PLC systems are equipped with only one
programmer interface, limitations have to be considered during
startup, i.e. the programmer
and the PCS cannot be used
simultaneously.
Automux PCS 809 is able to
cope with these limitations.
The PCS 809 expands the
interface between the programmable controller and the
programmer so that the controller can be operated simultaneously by the programmer
and the PCS. Switching occurs
automatically in the MUX.
The PCS 809 is designed as a
startup tool. After commissioning, the PCS operator console is connected directly to the
programmer interface of the
programmable controller.

1.1 The layout of the manual
The first part of the manual describes the operating elements, connections and the BIOS. The
functionality which is currently available is written in part 2. As the PCSPRO alone decides on the
functionality it is incorporated in the manual. In case of doubt, the PCSPRO help system will enlighten
you. Creation of a data record is only possible with the PCSPROsoftware. This software also takes on
the task of combining the data record with the firmware, with the driver and with an optional additional function. A selection can be made on the transfer as to whether all the data should be loaded
into the internal Flash-Eprom or merely that the data record is loaded onto the cassette.
All the drivers merely deal with the linkage to the various PLC systems and are independant from the
functionality anchored in the firmware. Information on the special drivers, such as the representation
of the driving blocks within the PLC are dealt with in a separate manual PCS 91.x; for example, PCS
91.SIE, linkage of the PCS with the PLC by the Siemens company. These manuals contains descriptions
of all the linkage possibilities of the products of the particular manufacturers.
1.2 Division of the memory
The PCS 900 memory divides itself up in various ways such as outlined here:
• EPROM
The PCS 900 contains a fixed EPROM block (BIOS), in which there is simply a previously loaded
program as well as the necessary program for the display and keyboard operation. If the files in
the remaining memory are not feasible then the corresponding messages will appear in the display.
• FLASH-EPROM
There are 256 kbytes available here for firmware, data records, drivers and additional functions.
This memory area can as a whole be electrically deleted. The contents of this memory determines
the entire functionality of the PCS 900.
• ADDITIONAL CASSET TE
This additional cassette basically contains Flash-Eprom. The size of the memory varies between
the different cassettes. As a rule this cassette contains a further data record, such as texts, menus
or variables. This alternative data record can be activated with a menu contained in the Bios.
Another use of this cassette is the transport of firmware, files, drivers and additional funtionalities.
In addition to this any amount of internal memory capacity can be copied onto the cassette. The
size of the cassettes will determine how many cassettes are required.
• BATTERY BUFFERED RAM
All protected low-voltage files are filed in this internal memory (64 kbyte). This area is administered
solely by the firmware.

2.1 DIL-switches
On the rear side there are 10 numbered DIL-switches.
DIL 1 to 4
DIL 5, DIL 6
= PLC bits. These switches can be used by the firmware.
= Configuration parameter (driver) e.g. baud rate, selection of interface.
OFF OFF = Configuration 1

= Configuration 4
For details see driver manual PCS 91.x
DIL 7= Transfer-baud rate with the PCSPRO
ON
= 115.0 kbaud
OFF
= 38.5 kbaud*)
DIL 8
= Operation Mode
ON
= stop, service program expected.
OFF
= run, normal operation
!!This switch must be in the OFF position during running!!
DIL 9
= Write protection of internal Flash-EEPROM
ON
= EEPROM can be overwritten
OFF
= EEPROM write protected
DIL 10
= Internal applicatio
!! This switch must be in the ON position during running !!
*) With regard to the PCS 900, the no.7 switch determines the transfer baudrate. The PCSPRO conveys
this baudrate automatically. After programming has been completed, the DIL-switch no.9 should
be switched to the OFF position, otherwise the reception of data cannot be guaranteed under all
circumstances. In normal circumstances, including switching on and off at any time, there will be
no loss of data.
2.2 Luminous displays
Every luminous display can be in one of four states: OFF, ON, FLASHING, and INVERSE FLASHING. The
FLASHING state consists of a 75% bright phase and a 25% dark phase, that of the INVERSE FLASHING
is made up of a 75% dark phase and a 25% bright phase. The above 4 LEDs indicate the state of the
operating conditions of the PCS. All the LEDs with the exception of the SYS are administerd through
the firmware.

The reset key is above the 10 DIL-switches. It releases a software reset, which under normal
circumstances is not necessary. The ON/OFF switch facilitates a cassette change.
THE PCS MUST BE SWITCHED OFF DURING THE CASSETTE EXCHANGE!
2.4 Keys
The PCS 900 possesses 20 function keys, 10 control keys and 10 numerical keys. The function of the
keys is determined by the firmware.

3.1 Operating voltage
The operating voltage connections 1(OV) and 2 (24V) are laid as screw terminals with wire up to 2
mm thick. With regard to power supply and operating voltage limitations, refer to the chapter entitled,
„Technical data“.
Att ention!
The operating voltage earthing and OV wires are laid out separately in the apparatus. The
earthing wire is around the casing, at the interference filter and at pole 1 of the serial interfaces.
In the best interests of immunity to interference , the casing should be earthed. The earthing
can be done as compact as possible with 4 mm. Furthermore the OV is to be zeroed in the
vicinity of the feeder mains (in accordance with the VDE regulations).
The alarm outlet is a relais contact (closer) between connections 6 and 7. This contact may only be
permitted with the low-voltage (24V) and maximum 0.5A. The fuse protection follows internally
through a PTC which protects the contact to a limited degree.
The contact drive is determined by the firmware.
3.2 Serial interfaces
The PCS 900 possesses a „combination“ interface COM and an RS232/TTY interface PRN. On the 25
pole JD socket there is either an RS 232 (V24) or alternatively an active or passive TTY (line current
interface), available. On the 15 pole JD plug there is an RS 422 or alternatively an RS 485 interface
available. Please refer to the performance of this in the driver manual PCS 91.x
• COM
This interface is configurated with software as RS232, TTY, RS485 or RS422. The RS232 connection
is made with the 25 pole SUB-D-socket and the PS485 and RS422 with the 15 pole SUB-Dsocket. A simultaneous application of both sockets at the same time is NOT wise. This interface is
served by the loaded driver and must be correspondingly configurated within the PCSPRO. Normally
4 configurations can be configurated. The selection is then made with the DIL-switches 5 and 6
(refer to driver manual PCS 91.x).
• PRN
This interface can be switched on as an RS232 or as an TTY interface. It is served through the
firmware and can be parameterized within the firmware. The parameterization must be done with
an internal variable. This variable is deposited in the fixed low-voltage RAM.
3.2.1
Configuration/Programming
Using the RS232 interface, you can carry out the configuration of the PCS 900 from a PC/PG with the
configurations connection cable PCS 733 and the PCSPRO. The start of the configuration, i.e.
programming is recognized by the DSR inlet. Whereby the PCS is ready to transfer programs. Please
note that for programming, the EEPROM must be written with the DIL-switch 9 in the ON position.
Recognition is given by interfaces independant of the previous set configuration. If the PLC simulation
is to be done with the PCSPRO, then this is only possible on the COM interface.

Att ention!
The level at the DSR (pin 6) is determined through the PC outlet DTR (25 pole: pin 20, 9 pole:
pin 4). If after booting the PC/PG or after leaving a program, the level of the pin is not yet
defined, it can be that the PCS happens to be in the configuration mode providing the
configuration’s cable PCS 733 is plugged in.
In this case the PCS program is stopped and the SYS-LED shines.
Any actual PLC communication would be stopped. The only recourse is to pull out the PCS 733
cable. The PCS software PCS PRO sets the level to this pin direction.

4.1 Selection of the data record
The PCS 900 stores at a fixed low-voltage, whether it should run on the internal data record or the
external data record on cassette. If this value is not clear, then there is either a warning before the
start of the firmware, to be confirmed with [ENTER] or a demand for a selection between -1 - or -2. Finally there will be a fresh start with a renewed check up on the system.
4.2 Selection of the copying function
The selection occurs by pressing the HELP key and at the same time the CLR key. The keys have the
following denotation within the copying function:
• ENTER
This is the confirmation key which enables you to achieve the next stage of the course you intend
to pursue.
• CLR
This key again enables you to momentarily break off from the menu heading WITHOUT and
alterations being made.
• [ARROW RIGHT] and [ARROW LEFT]
You require these keys for the selection of the source or target memory block. The occupied and
deleted blocks are marked with the corresponding characters. The width of the cursor corresponds
to the memory extension of the inserted cassette. There are 32 kbytes per character.
The following points are to be born in mind when applying the copying function:
• If copying is being carried out on the cassette, ALL the occupied blocks on the cassette(s) must
be copied. As only deleted blocks can be overwritten when reading-in into the internal FlashEprom, several more cassettes must eventually be made available. Should the data record be
larger than 64kbytes, there would be a need, for example, to have 4 x PCS 802 cassettes.
• If copying is done from the cassette into the internal Flash-Eprom, the order of sequence must
be from left to right. Best of all number the cassette accordingly.
• At the moment the individual blocks are to be found at the following addresses:
040000 (1. cursor point left)
Firmware (up to 104 kbytes)
05A000 (within the 4th position)

6.2.2
Character present in the display
2 operating lines are available, each with 40 characters without any limitations. There is no automatic
fading-in. The applicable character set comprises the characters H10 to HFF, whereby the following
divisions have to be observed.
• H00 t H0F (0 t o 15)
These characters are required internally and cannot be inserted in the texts.
• H10 to H7F (16 ot 127)
These characters correspond t the IBM-Codepage 437 (Western Europe) and are firmly anchored
in the BIOS. They can be inserted at will.
• H80 t o HFF (128 o
t 255)
These characters can be changed any amount of times within the PCSPRO and can be freely
applied to texts. The most commonly used Codepages are delivered along with the PCSPRO:
850
Roman character set
865
Norwegian character set
860
Portuguese character set
852
Hungarian character set
866
Cyrillic (Eastern Europe) character set
Also available are the 7 bit character sets of the PCS 200 in the areas 128 to 255 in the PCSPRO
(Cyrillic, Serbocroatic and Katakana).
The flashing of individual characters (R nominal value input) is administered by the PLC itself. The
operating texts can be switched on as a complete flashing entity in the default text priority by bit 15
log. 1 in the command word C (W38). With message texts this can occur for every priority above bit 05 in the word 20. This changeover can be initiated by the PLC at any time.

6.2.3
Keys
They are divided up into funtion keys, tenner keyboards and control keys. All the keys even in the PLC
will be made available as key bits. As long as a bit is activated, a log. 1 appears in the corresponding
bit of the word block. The „pressing“ of a key releases a short accoustic signal; the so called keyboard
click. Some keys also produce repeat accoustic signals on account of their „REPEAT“ functions.
The function keys to are only transfered to the PLC. They have no internal functions.
Depending on the displayed priority, the tenner keyboard and the control keys have PCS internal
functions and are therefore only to be used in the PLC with limitations.
• DEFAULT PRIORITY (0)
Here the key has merely internal functions.
• MENU PRIORITY (1)
Here the tenner keys <0 ..9> and also the control keys <+>, <->, <.>, , , ,
and have internal functions.
• MESSA GE PRIORITIES (2, 3, 4)
Depending on the programming of the PCS (deletion behaviour, number of message text lines,
message help text) the [ARROW] keys and the [CLR] and [HLP] keys have internal functions.
• HISTORY (5)
Here as well as have internal functions.
• OFFLINE-MENU (8)
Here has a special function, all other keys with the exception of the F-keys, conclude
the OFFLINE-MENU.
• HELP-KEY
This key permits the display of the HELP key in all priorities. If they have several lines, then they
can be leafed using .
On activating unauthorized keys, the accoustic error message rings outside the DEFAULT PRIORITY.
6.2.3.1 Evalution of keys in the PLC
Should the control/tenner keys be evaluated in the PLC, then the following is to be taken into
consideration:
• and may basically not be used.
• If the evaluation of the actual available priorities in word 17 is under consideration, it is to be
remembered that the transfer of this PCS status takes longer than the transfer of the keys. Therefore
there can be no guarantee that the PCS status and the keys will be consistently transfered. As a rule
the data is consistent after 2 transfer phases, however this cannot be guaranteed.
Clarity is only guaranteed if all the priorities are locked i.e. word 36, bits 8 to 15 are written to zero,
and the bits 12-15 = 0, are received in word 17.
6.2.4
Accoustic signal
3 accoustic signals stand ready for use:
• a brief keyboard click on „pressing“ a key.
• when „held down“, a key with the „REPEAT“ function rings a „REPEAT“ click.
• a 0.5 second long accoustic error message if there’s a misuse of a key.
The volume of the accoustic signal can be set on the rear side of the PCS 900 with a potentiometer.
If the accoustic error message should cause annoyance, it can be switched off with the word 37 bit 11,
with log. 1.

7.1 General outline
The PCS 900 works simultaneously on a maximum of 8 priority levels. Only one priority, however, can
possess the so called „Focus“, at any one time. That particular priority which possesses the focus can
describe the display and question the keyboard. The various priorities can be switched on and off
independant of the focus. All the priorities which are active are marked in the PCS status; word 16 bits
0-7; with a log. 1, so that the PLC program can react accordingly. When a priority is switched on or
switched off is explained in a separate chapter. Basically the highest switched on priority possesses
the focus, when the PLC program locks (suppressed) this priority; word 36 bits 8-15). If a priority is
suppressed, then the next lower valued one will be examined. The lowest priority can never be
depressed and is always switched on. The following levels are occupied at the moment:
• DEFAULT PRIORITY (0)
• MENU PRIORITY (1)
• REFERENCE PRIORITY (2)
• WARNING PRIORITY (3)
• FAULT PRIORITY (4)
• HISTORY PRIORITY (5)
• at the moment not occupied (6)
• COMMUNICATION CANCELLATION (7)
• OFFLINE PRIORITY (8)
The particular priority which possess the focus will be numerically registered in the word 17, bits 1215 in the PLC.
7.1.1Variables
Variables are stand-ins in a text. A maximum of 8 variables can be registered per text line. These
variables are to be found in the PLC usually as of word 110. If all the message bits are not required,
then the unoccupied area may also be used for variables (see also message bits...). In the PCS they are
presented according to type, in text or in numerical form. You differenciate here between ACTUAL-,
NOMINAL- and NOMINAL-P values.
ACTUAL VALUES are variables which cannot be amended by the PCS. They are simply presented in
the display with their value.
NOMINAL-and NOMINAL-P values are variables which can be both presented by the PCS as well as
amended by it. You will find the amended, written value, in the word address, which you specified,
with the variable definitions. The extension (-P) enables you to obtain a key function. It is therefore
possible, for example, to only allow certain specified operating groups access to definite nominal
values. If NOMINAL-P variables are barred for the operator; in word 38 bit 7 on log. 0, these variables
are presented as ACTUAL values and cannot be amended.

7.1.2
Texts
They divide themselves up into PRINTABLE TEXTS and DISPLAYABLE TEXTS. The operating, message,
history and help texts are displayable texts, and the message printer and operating printer texts are
printable texts.
• Operating texts are applied in the priority 0 (default text) as well as in the priority 1 (menus). They
are always 2 lines.
• Depending on the programming, message texts are applied in references (priority 2), warnings
(priority 3) or faults (priority 4). They may have a maximum of 32 lines.
• History texts are marked in the history memory (priority 5) and may actually contain internal
variables for text number, time arrived, departed and quitted, identity number, actual date/time,
operating time clock, as well as the number of history texts (actual value).
• Message printer texts are registered in the message memory for the printer and linked to the
message texts.
• Message printer texts are numerical call texts, which are not saved but are printed immediately by
the printer.
• In so far as they are configurated, help texts appear for the priorities 0 to 5 on pressing the
key. As soon as the key is released, the text disappears again. Like the message texts, a help text
has a maximum of 32 lines.
7.1.3
Menus
Menus are collections of „nodes“. Every node is given an operating text number. A node of a menu is
the so called start node. The operating text defined with this node is the first one to appear in the
display after the startup of the menu with word 38, bit 0..7. Branching out into other nodes can be
done from this node, including individual definition, with the . The branching out
possibilities are displayed in the arrow key LED’s, in so far as bit 8 in the command word B (W37) is
log. 1.
Basically all variables must be declared in a text before being inserted. In the same way texts which
are to be applied in menus, must have previously been formulated.
All the elements are fully dealt with in the following chapters.
7.2 Variables
Variables can be inserted in all texts. From this position the PCS reserves places for the variables.
Whereby the presentation form and the length is gleaned from the description of the variable. A
maximum of 8 variables per text line may be inserted. With the formulation of texts the PCSPRO takes
into account the extra variable lengths in each line automatically.
A difference is made between INTERNALand EXTERNAL variables. The source value of the EXTERNAL
variable is in the PLC. An appertaining variable description must be created for this variable. The
description of the external variables is deposited in the PLC on configuration. With some internal
variables the starting value or the inscriptions; depending on the language(!); must be complemented
in the variable description.
The variable types (V)BIN(0)-1,A permit an additional scaling. That means that a specified value block
(source block) in the PLC is reproduced on another presentation block (target block) in the PCS (limitation:
the multiplicator must be positive!).
With all the BIN (binary) the number of pre- and post comma positions, as well as the limiting values
- minimum and maximum values - are programmable as consonants.
BCD (0)-1,2 permits the specification of a minimum and maximum value as well as a definable position
number (digits).
Every variable can be defined as an ACTUAL, NOMINAL or as a NOMINAL-P value.

7.2.1
External variable formats
Before going into each one in detail, here is a preview.
• 1. BIT
A character string (inscription) is allocated to each one of the two possible states of a bit in the PLC.
The character string can be selected freely and may have a maximum length of a display line
which is 40 characters. It may not contain any variable itself. The length of both inscriptions
determines the place to be reserved. The bit variable is written into the PLC immediately after
each amendment.
• 2. STRING
A character string (inscription) can be allocated to each value of the lowest valued byte of a word
in the PLC. Whereupon the maximum number of inscriptions is 256. The maximum length of an
inscription amounts to one display line which equals 40 characters. The place to be reserved is
determined by the longest inscription. The character string itself may not contain any more variables.
• 3. CSTRING
A character string (inscription) can be allocated to each value of the lowest byte of a word in the
PLC. Whereupon the maximum number of inscriptions is 256. The maximum length of an inscription
amounts to one display line which equals 40 characters. The place to be reserved is determined
by the longest inscription. The character string itself may not contain any more variables. The
CSTRING variable differentiates itself from the STRING variable in that after every amendment it is
immediately written into the PLC.
• 4. BCD
Values with selectable position numbers (digits) are displayed. These digits must be evident in the
PLC in BCD format. The fading in of a decimal point is not possible. Non-used leading digits are
ignored on reading the ACTUAL value and are zeroed on the writing of the NOMINAL(-P)-value.
The following variable formats are possible:
BCD-1:selectable digit number between 1 and a maximum of 4. This variable requires a word in
the PLC.
BCDO-1:as in BCD-1, however pre-zeroes are presented instead of blanks.
BCD-2: selectable digit number between 1 and maximum 8. This variable requires a double word
in the PLC.
BCDO-2: as in BCD-2, however pre-zeroes instead of space characters are presented.
• 5. BIN
The 16 bit value of a word or the 32 bit value of a double word is presented in the PLC in fixed
point format as a non-operative number. The variable requires maximum 11 digit places (with
decimal points). It is possible to fade in a decimal point by selecting from the pre- and post comma
positions. Whereby the place for the decimal point in the display must be considered as well.
Furthermore with a 16 bit variable, a scaling is possible, that means a conversion of the value
block of the PLC into the PCS and also in the opposite direction from the PCS into the PLC. The
presentable area in the PLC is with a 16 bit variable between $0 and $FFFF, with a 32 bit variable
between $0 and $FFFFFFFF. In the PCS the presentable value area is between 0 and max. 4 294
967 295.

The following variable formats are possible:
BIN-1:this variable occupies one word in the PLC. The number of pre-commas is definable between
1 and maximum 10. The number of post commas is between 0 (without decimal point) and a
maximum of 9. As soon as the post comma position has been specified, the variable requires more
room for a character in order to blend in the decimal point. If there is a difference between the
minimum value of the PLC and the minimum value of the PCS, or the maximum value of the PLC
with that in the PCS, then it is about a scalable BIN variable. With this type of variable, the input
of the pre-comma positions are separate from the after post positions, in the event that after post
positions are given. Post comma positions are entered post activating the <.> key. This kind of
numerical input is also known as pocket calculator input.
BINO-1:as BIN-1, however pre-zeroes instead of blanks are presented.
BIN-A: as BIN-1, however the value is not entered according to the pocket calculator input method,
but according to the value input by „pushing through“ from beyond the decimal point (from right to
left).
BINO-A: as BIN-1, however the value is not entered according to the pocket calculator input
method, but according to the value input by „pushing through“ from beyond the decimal point
(from right to left). Furthermore pre-zeroes are presented instead of blanks.
BIN-2: this variable occupies a double value in the PLC. The number of pre-comma positions is
definable between 1 and maximum 10. The number of post comma positions lies between 0 (without
decimal point) and a maximum of 9. As soon as a decimal point is specified, the variable requires
more room for a character in order to blend in the decimal point. With this type of variable and in
the event that post comma positions are given, the input of the pre-comma positions are separate
from the post comma positions. On activating the <.> key, post comma positions are entered. This
kind of numerical input is also known as pocket calculator input.
BINO-2: as BIN-2, however pre-zeroes instead of blanks are presented.

BINO-B: as in BIN-2, however the value is not entered according to the pocket calculator method
but the value input is done by „pushing through“ beyond the decimal point from right to left .
Furthermore pre-zeroes instead of blanks are presented.
6. VBIN
The 16 bit value of a word or the 32 bit value of a double word in the PLC is are presented as an
indicator affected number in fixed point format. The variable requires at the most a 12 digit position
(basically with an operational sign and on a selection basis with a decimal point). A decimal point
fade-in is made possible with the selection of pre- and post comma positions. Whereby the
position for the decimal point and the operational sign in the display must be considered. Furthermore
a scaling is possible with the 16 bit variable, that means a conversion of the value block PLC ->
PCS and in the reverse direction PCS -> PLC. The presentable area in the PLC lies with a 16 bit
variable between $8000 and $7FFF, and with a 32 bit variable between $0000000 and $7FFFFFFF.
In the PCS the presentable value area is between -2 147 483 648 and max. 2 147 483 647. The
operational sign can be amended with the help of < > or <-> key.

the PLC is different to the minimum value of the PCS, or respectively, the maximum value of the
PLC from that of the PCS, then a scalable VBIN variable is involved. In the event that post comma
positons arise with this kind of variable, the input of the pre-comma positions is separate to the
post comma positions. On activating the <.>, post comma positions are entered. This kind of

7. WORD
The 16 bit value of a word in the PLC is presented in bit format. A positioning of a cursor on the
individual bits is possible with the keys [ ] and [-]. A single bit can be set back with the [0] key and
set with the [1] key. This data format requires a definite 17 character place in a line. A blank is
inserted to enhance the optical separation between the HIGH and LOW byte.
8 . ASCII
Up to 32 characters (16 words) in the PLC can be presented as ASCII characters or amended. With
the keys [ ] and [-] the ASCII characters can be presented with the next highest or respectively, the
next lowest ASCII-Code. The [.] key shoves the cursor one place to the right. After the last character
has been entered, and the [.] has been activated, the cursor again pops up on the 1st character.
Figures can be keyed in directly.

VALVE 0 IS IN THE CLOSED STATE
If the bit 30.15 = 1, then with the selected operating text 0, there appears in the display:
VALVE 0 IS IN THE OPEN STATE
If this operating text is within a menu call, a switch from one state to another can be made by pressing
the <+> and <-> keys.
7.2.1.2 Variables format STRING
Up to 256 texts with the content of the lowest valued bytes of a word can be connected as an actual
value. The value of the lowest valued byte as nominal value within a menu can be incremented with
<+> and decremented with <->. Whereby no intermediate value is written in the PLC.
EXAMPLE: It is assumed that with the PCSPRO you have filed a string variable on word 131 as NOMINAL-P value. The character strings (inscriptions) 0..2 are programmed with „SERVICE“, „SETTING
OPERATION“ and „AUTOMATIC RUNNING“.

It is assumed that you have filed one BCD variable (BCD-2) on word 133 as NOMINAL-P value. You
want to display 8 digits. The minimum value that can be entered should be 90 and the maximum 50
000 000. Here is a summary:
Word number:
133
Class:
NOMINAL-P
Variable format:
BCD-2
Number of digits:
8
Minimum value:
90
Maximum value:
50000000
The variable is inserted in the operating text 100 as follows:
FINISHED NOS. OF PIECES:
FURTHER:>
If $0045 is the value in word 133, and $5673 is the value in word 134, then on selecting the operating
text 100, there appears in the display:
FINISHED NOS. OF PIECES:
455673 FURTHER:>
The 2 leading-zeroes are suppressed, because here it is about the variables format BCD-.. ! If you
want the pre-zeroes to be displayed then instead of BCD-.. insert the variables format BCD0-.!

ention!
Unnecessary higher valued bits are ignored and written back to 0.
Scaling and decimal point fading-in are not possible.
Intermediate values are not written back. Writing back is done first after or on
quitting the variables field.
*
This point is only valid, if the menu options correspond to the standard setting!
Balanced inputs are also possible: <1> <0> <+> in the above example would lead to the
intermediate result of 455683. As in this case it concerns an intermediate result, it is not
written back although afterwards the cursor discontinues flashing!
It is impossible to leave the input field with a value outside the limiting value after editing has
been started.
Incrementing and decrementing can also be done on account of the operational signs (with
auto repeat).
A restoration of the old value is possible at any time with the key .
*
This point only applies, if the menu options correspond to the standard setting!
7.2.1.5 Variables format BIN
As actual value the binary value of one or two words is changed and converted. In the presentation
there is a decimal point after each numerical digit specification, eventually an operational sign and
the presentation of the pre-zeroes is also taken into consideration.

editing.
• (V)BIN(0)-1, (V)BIN(0)-2: pocket calculator input with separate pre-comma and post comma inputs
(of course only if the after comma positions are to hand). The switch over occurs with the <.> key.
• (V)BIn(0)-A, (V)BIN(0)-B: pushing through from right to left via the decimal point. The <.> key has
no function here.
It is assumed that you have filed a BIN- Variable (BIN-1) on word 42 as NOMINAL value. You wish to
be able to present and enter two pre-commas and one post comma position. You also want to introduce
a scaling. In the PCS values between 0 and 100 (0 and 10.0) may be entered. However this value area
in the PLC should be reproduced on 0..4095 ($0..$0FFF). Preceding zeroes should be suppressed

Operation as nominal value variable in a menu:
• The value can be amended with the digit keys.
(V)BIN(0)-1(2):pre-comma and post comma separate. Change made with <.>.
(V)BIN(0)-A(B): simple pushing through from right to left, whereby the decimal point is jumped
over.
• Balanced input possible (though not with the VBIN variables!): e.g <.> <2> < >: new presentation
(example): 5.2!
Keys <+> / <->:
BIN(0)-1,2,A,B: 1 is added / subtracted (also after <.>).
VBIN(0)-1,2,A,B: change of operational sign can be done at any time.

It is not possible to quit the inverse field. For example, if the first variable in a menu text is
beyond the limiting values, then no more paging can be done. First of all the value must
be corrected. An approved value is entered for BIN using the <+>, <-> or keys and
with VBIN only with or with digital input.

7.2.1.7 Variables format ASCII
The ASCII variable permits the input of any number of strings. The string length must be an even
number (maximum 32 digits). Every character can be entered (H00 to HFF).
Example: An ASCII variable is filed as NOMINAL value on word 136. You want to be able to present
and enter a 16 digit serial number.
Word number:
136
Class:
NOMINAL
Variables format:
ASCII
Number of digits:
16 (8 words)
The variable is inserted into the operating text 90 as follows:
SERIAL NUMBER:

If the words contain W136=$4557, W137=$4120, W138=$344E, W139=$4542, W140=$2D38,
W141=$3131, W142=$3530 and W143=$3533 (corresponds to the string „EWA-4NEB 8115033“),
then on selecting operating text 90, there appears in the display:
SERIAL NUMBER: EWA-4NEB 8115033 FURTHER:>
If the variable is applied in a menu, then the cursor (flashing position) with the help of the <.> key can
be shoved one place to the right. If the cursor happens to be at the end of a variable, (character
string), and you press the <.> key, the cursor will return to the beginning of the variable. With the aid
of the <+> and <-> key, every character, including special ones, can be selected. An amended value
will first be written binary in the transfer block after has been pressed or the variable field
as of word 136 (W136..W144) has been quitted. Apart from the value nothing else is amended.
As every character can be displayed, there will be not check of the limiting values.

7.2.2
Internal variable formats
83 previously defined internal variables are at your service. They can be most practically applied if
they are in specific text bundles. PCSPRO checks this out before the assignment begins.
If there is an x in the presentation length, then the project manager is to decide himself on the length.
For example, this occurs in the formulation of the language dependent inscriptions, for the weekday.
Besides that every nominal value can be occupied with a default value. After the transfer of the data
record, this default value will be initialized in the fixed non-voltage RAM (with the exception of time,
date and operating time clock). If the nominal value is used in a menu, then the running time of the
apparatus can be altered. The string constants, Z075 to Z082 can be amended within the PCSPRO
and serve to format the printout.

Here is a brief description of the above mentioned internal variables:
• REFERENCE / WARNINGS / FAULTS
The number of momentarily switched on messages are displayed according to each priority.
• MENU NUMBER
The current active menu number is presented here as a 3 digit actual value.
• ACTUAL_ROLLER_TIME / NOMINAL_ROLLER_TIME
The roller time can be displayed or amended in the message memory here within seconds. The
amendment is fixed low-voltage.
• ERR-INTERFACE
The maximum number of faulty (repeated) packets since RESET are presented here. It refers in
each case to a 100 packets and is a measurement for the safety of the data transfer. This in turn is
independent from the length of the cable, the type of cable and the extent of the electric and
magnetic noise fields. An error quota of under 1% is of no consequence. This information applies
to all the drivers, which support the internal variable ZX.
• TEXT NUMBER
This variable refers to the relevant text group within a text group.
• TIME_MESSA GE_GOES / COMES / QUIT
These variables are only of practical significance within the message priorities, the log memory
and the printer message memory. If there is not yet a definite value, then blanks will be displayed
instead of it.

The 8 automatic time clocks can be indicated textually here. This value serves as an index on the
respective automatic time clock. The length is fixed to be 16 characters !
CAM_NUMBER
8 ON/OFF times can be programmed inside every automatic time clock. The 8 time blocks are
systematized in a bit and the result of each time switch is written into the PLC. The index of one of
these 8 time frist pairs is this cam number. If only one cam number is used, then this variable will
not be required. In this case the EXTRA_ON/OFF variable directs itself to the first frist pair.
BAUD RATE, PARITY, DATA BIT, STOP BIT, RS232/TTY
This parameter determines the configuration of the PRN interface. As nominal value they can be
amended to ONLINE. They are saved at fixed low-voltage and for the data transfer they are initialized
on the default values inserted here.
HISTORY TEXTS/PRINTER TEXTS
This variable indicates the number of messages that are in the history memory that is displayabe
messages or respectively in the message printer memory.
MESSA GE TEXT_LINES_32
This variable sets the number of lines of the corresponding message text in the log or message
printer text. By formulating a general block text, it is possible to cover every message (refer to the
block texts).
OPR_HRS_A CTUAL_/ NOMINAL
The nominal value is the only way to set the operating hours counter to a specific value. No
initialization is carried out by the operating hours counter with data record exchange. If however
a firmware with a new stand is loaded, then the operating hours counter is set to 0. In this case the
appertaining message appears in the display. It can then be corrected by this variable.
HISTORY_ENTER, PRINTER_ENTER
A counter is incremented for every logged message in order to satisfy the uninterrupted logging.
As the memorys can rewrite themselves, there is the possibility that gaps can occur. It only makes
sense to have this number in history texts and message printer texts. On deletion of the memory it
is set to 0 and counts up to 9999. As of 10000 inverse fields appear. As of 65535 1 it will be
zeroed.
EXTRA ON/OFF_HOURS/MINUTES/SECONDS
These lines can be amended to ONLINE. They are administered internally by the indices AUTOMATIC
TIME SWITCH and CAM NUMBER. The planned values are initialized when the data record exchange
takes place. If the nominal values are amended to ONLINE, they are saved in the fixed low-voltage
block. An amendment of the individual parts is immediately taken into consideration, whereby the
following is relevant:
• If the ON switch time and the OFF switch time is the same, then this cam is inactive.
• If the ON switch time is smaller than the OFF switch time, then this cam is active daily.
• If the ON switch time is larger than the OFF switch time, then this cam is actively engaged in
the daytime.

the characters with the exception of H00. The significance doesn’t necessary correlate to the
name, as these strings can be formulated any amount of times in the PCSPRO. They can only be
applied in the message printer texts and the operating printer texts.
7.2.3
Treatment of variables
All the variables are automatically read through the PCS or respectively, as of the specified word
number. The PLC specific word number (DW, MW, DM, Counter..) respectively description, can be
found out with the assistance of the driver manual PCS 91.x. This also applies to nominal values,
whereby the selected value is presented as the given value (see also chapter variables in menus“).
The following rules apply for the freshening up of variables (ACTUAL values or non-active NOMINAL(P)-values):
• A continual freshening up occurs in all prioritiy classes. The freshening up rate is dependent on
various factors: from the number of variables in the display, the type of driver, the speed of transfer
(baud rate), the number of tasks, which can fit into a transfer packet as well as the reply time of the
PLC, which is independant to the PLC cycle time. The speed of the freshening up rate taking place
under the most favourable circumstances is around 8 per second.
• As eventually not all variables which are required in the display or for the operating printer can be
gathered in one transfer cycle, it can happen that with the PCS 900, the values will come out of
various PLC cycles. Nevertheless the display of the values takes place first when all the variable
values have become available.
• There is no difference between internal and external variables. As long as the variable values
have not been transfered, empty fields (SPACE’s) will be presented in the display. If the read-in
value is outside the limiting values deposited in the PCS, inverse arrows; depending on the sub
level or exceeding level; will be presented in the variable field.
• NOMINAL-P-variables will be handled just like the ACTUAL values as long as the bit 7 in word 38
is log. 0.
• NOMINAL(-P)-variables will first be read in and underlined and presented „frozen“. The result of
this being that an amendment of the word through the PLC after the „freezing“ of this variable, is
no longer recognizable. As soon as a key has been activated for the editing of the nominal value,
a flashing cursor appears and the rest of the variable is presented static (underlined). This doesn’t
apply with balanced inputs or with the variable BIT and CSTRING as these are written in at once.
• In the PCSPRO the writing back of the nominal values for every menu is to be specified individually.
For this in the menu selection window the focus must be set on a menu and the [circa symbol] must
be entered in the keyboard which on a German keyboard is [Alt-Gr Q]. For normal applications, the
standard proceedings should be sufficient. These standard proceedings are described here as
follows:
• if a nominal value (NOMINAL or NOMINAL-P) was amended, it will be written by activating the
[ENTER] key or by quitting the variable field. An exception is made for the end of the menu. In this
case whatever the circumstances, the last presented value is written.
• if an active NOMINAL-P-value is in the display and is set to zero in word 14 bit 7, then the first
editable NOMINAL-value of this display side will be looked for and will be presented underlined
(not yet edited).
• after a NOMINAL(-P)-value was written by the PCS, then it will be read twice (different PLCcycles). Finally it is compared with the previous edited value. If these values differentiate, the

accoustic warning signal rings and the momentary value of the PLC is presented underlined. This
enables the PLC to make a dynamic test of the limiting values. First after confirming the proposed
value of the PLC by pressing [ENTER] or with a permitted [ARROW KEY], the menu field will be
quitted, respectively the menu will be concluded, provided this was the cause of the transfer.
if the dynamic limiting value test with scalable binary variables is to be implemented, then care
has to be taken that in the case of variables where the PLC area is larger than the PCS area, the
correct value („level“) is given by the PLC. Here is an example about it: the PCS value block is from
0..1000, and that of the PLC from 0..65535. The value 10 in the PCS display corresponds the value
721 in the PLC. Should the value 670 now be written by the PLC, then the menu could never be
concluded as the value (655) written by the PCS still differentiates itself from 670.
7.3 Text groups
There exists 11 groups of texts that can be freely formulated. In the following outline the maximum
number of texts and the maximum number of lines will be given. That doesn’t mean that all the
maximum values can be exploited. The maximum data record size is 128 kbytes and the texts are
dynamically allocated. That means that non-filed texts will not occupy any memory space.
1. 256 OPERATING TEXTS: 2 line texts, from which the first 128 will be used as DEFAULT TEXTS
and all the remaining operating texts as MENU TEXTS.
2. 1024 MESSAGE TEXTS: texts pages which can be up to 32 lines long. These texts are firmly
allocated to the message bits and are displayed as REFERENCES, WARNINGS AND FAULTS.
3. 1024 HISTORY TEXTS. These texts pages can be up to 32 lines and are shown with the display
of the history memory. They are linked to the message texts.
4. 1024 MESSAGE PRINTER TEXTS. These text pages are used for the printout of the message
printer memory and are specifically print formulated.
5. 255 OPERATING PRINTER TEX
TS. These specifically print formulated texts can be numerically
called in the PLC and immediately printed. The maximum line length is 132, and the maximum
number of lines is 126.
6. 1 HELP TEX
T FOR THE DEFAULT PRIORITY is a maximum 32 line long text page, which can be
brought into ONLINE operation any time with the key.
7. 256 HELP TEXTS FOR MENU PRIORITIES.They can be allocated to the operating text numbers
(max. 32 lines).
8. 1 HELP TEX
T FOR THE REFERENCE PRIORIT
Y with maximum 32 lines
9. 1 HELP TEX
T FOR THE W
ARNINGS PRIORITY with maximum 32 lines
10. 1 HELP TEX
T FOR THE F
AULTS PRIORITY with maximum 32 lines
11. 1 HELP TEX
T FOR THE HIST
ORY PRIORITY. It can be reached during the display of the history
memory with , maximum 32 lines.
A so called DEFAULT TEXT can be formulated in every text group. This DEFAULT TEXT will first be
displayed within the specified number block, if no main text has been filed under that requested
number.
In the displayed texts which contain more than 2 lines it is possible to switch to the next display
pages; also known as extra lines; by pressing the key and then switching back to
the first display page; also known as main lines by pressing the key. The LED’s
shine in the arrow keys accordingly, when one leafing is possible. If a text only consists of an uneven
line number, then the bottom line in the display is empty.
Texts, or respectively values, that can be amended within the text are realized through VARIABLE.
Besides almost permanently having the variable values on the part of the PLC, at the ready there is
therefore no recourse to have additional PLC programs. In all the priorities, the variables are cyclically
refreshed.

Remark: This block text replaces the default texts of the PCS 200. The difference to that one is that
here only one through going block is permitted. On reading-in the data record of the PCS 200, only
the first found default text is read in as block text.
7.4 Menus/Menu layout
There are a total of 127 menus with the numbers 1 to 127 available. A menu consists of one or several
nodes (1..255), whereby on operating text (0..255) must be allocated to each node.
Every menu is a collection of between 1 and maximum 255 menu points (nodes). The starting and
ending of a menu is caused by the PLC. Any further switching on of the menu headings is left alone to
the operator to decide.
A number is planned from 1 to 255 for every node. These numbers may be given out several times in
various menus. The actual node number is shown in word 16, bit 8..15.
More nodes can be reached within a menu by means of the arrow keys, whereby the structure can be
freely programmed. The first specified node is the initial node, respectively the start node. On calling
the menu the operating text allocated to the start node is displayed.
Through the status of bit 7 of the command word C (W38), the operator can decide at any time
whether nominal-P variables can be amended or not. If the bit 7 = 0, then only pure NOMINAL values
can be amended. If the bit D7 = 1, then NOMINAL and NOMINAL-P variables can be amended.
If a NOMINAL-P value is focused (underlined) and bit 7 in word 38 is set to log. 0, then the focus finally
finds itself on the first editable NOMINAL value of this display page. All the nominal and actual values
which are not focused will be continually refreshed like actual values.
7.4.1
Starting the menus
The PLC program writes a menu number (1..127) on the lowest valued byte of the command word B
(W38), bit 0..6.
The bit 7 of command word B (W38) decides every time whether or not a NOMINAL-P value may be
amended or not. If the bit 7 is log. 0, and the current edited nominal value concerns a NOMINAL-P
value, then the variable positon will be quitted. If after focusing, the bit is 0, then a nominal-P variable will be dealt with like an actual value (jump over).
7.4.2
Quitting the menus
Quitting the menus is done through the PLC, whereby the menu number of the command word C
(W38), i.e. the bits 0..6 are set to log. 0.
Quitting the menu is treated per standard as menu conclusion,i.e. an amended nominal value is written
into the PLC by activating a key such as .
The menu can only first be left when an amended nominal value was read twice from the data block
of the PLC and is in agreement with the previous written value*. Whereupon the PLC can recognize
and reject closures or minimum and maximum excesses (dynamic testing of limiting values). If the
nominal value is not taken over by the PLC, and thereby overwritten at once, the input field remains
active (underlined) with the currently proposed variable value from the PLC. A menu can first be
concluded after the comparison of the written nominal value with the read-in nominal value shows
that they are in agreement. In order to indicate to the operator that this nominal value input is not
reliable, a REFERENCE text could be displayed for example, which in turn, must be quitted with the
key. This quitting doesn’t influence the nominal value at all. It is simply like an interruption.
An exception applies to nominal values, whose given value lies outside the limiting values; being
presented as inverse fields. In so far as no editing is taking place, the menu can still be quitted.

The actual menu end can be recognized via the negative flank of bit 0 in word 16 (PCS status)
* only applies when standard values are inserted in the PCSPRO for menu options.
7.4.3
Building up the menus
Each of the maximum 127 possible menus (1..127) can possess a particular structure. If complex structures
are to be involved, it is recommendable to proceed in the following way and separately for each
menu:
• first of all the structure is put down on paper, whereby the node connections are joined together
with various coloured lines. There is a different colour for each arrow key.
• finally an operating text number is allocated to each node. Similar operating texts can be entirely
used in several menus. This also saves location !
• finally all the nodes are marked with any numbers between (1..255).
• in conclusion branches are formulated for each node, whereby all the parameters are taken from
the drawing.
The programming of menu nodes in the PCSPRO is self-explanatory. The PCSPRO checks the credibility
of the menu definition during the editing of the menus. Care is to be taken that menus do not contain
unattainable nodes. Individually this means, that each menu node must be able to be reached from
the start node. Apart from that there are no limitations, i.e. within every node, every arrow key can be
allocated to a particular target node within the same menu.
In formulating the operating texts it is wise to conjure up an intelligent operating guide system. It is
quite possible to have node points without variables which are to the exclusive advantage of the
operating guide. Clarity should also be achieved by using the (programmable) special characters
ARROW UPWARDS, ARROW DOWNWARDS as well as ARROW RIGHT and ARROW LEFT. For example
$18 = arrow upwards, $19 = arrow downwards, $1A = arrow right, $1B = arrow left.
In so far as the arrow key LED’s in the menus are released (bit 8 of command word B (W37) is log. 0),
the operator is lead in addition, with optical displays, through the menu. If the arrow key LED shines
statically, then it means that another variable within the same menu node can is selected. If an LED
flashes, then activating this key will cause the currently displayed menu node to be quitted.
7.4.4
Variables in the menu
On calling a new menu or menu node, the first nominal value on having just been read out of the PLC,
will first be presented underlined („frozen“). If this given value lies outside the defined limiting values,
then inverse fields will be displayed instead of the nominal value. With just one touch on an editing
key (also partly <+> or <->,) a permitted value is presented. This applies, in so far as this
particular value in the PLC is smaller than the minimum value, of the minimum value and is in the
reversed situation with the maximum value.
If the given value was once amended, except for balancing inputs, then the input position is marked
with a flashing cursor.
If the underline is continuous, then the variable is in the so called CLEAR mode. On activating an
editing key, the EDIT mode is switched on. With the continual variable types BIT AND CSTRING, there
is no EDIT mode, as writing back is done immediately after amendment. A further exception is the
balancing input. After the calculation of the new intermediate result the variable is completely
underlined, although the edit mode is active. After CLR, a switch back is made to the CLEAR mode and
the initial value arising out of the PLC, is again displayed.

Att ention!
As long as the cursor is flashing, it merely concerns the presentation of an intermediate result.
That means that the current value being shown in the display is not in accord with the value in
the control! Numerical values can also be amended in the addition or subtraction modes (also
known as balancing inputs):
, , .. , possible with BCD(0) and BIN(0)-1,2,A,B. After that the editor is
again in the basic state (variables underlined). In this case it is at the same dealing with an
intermediate result that still hasn’t been written back!
In the same cycle in which the nominal value is written back, the word address in word 18 bits 8 to
15 is registered. In the lower valued byte, there is the number of bytes that were last written back. In
the case of a bit variable, there is a 0 here and in word 19, the bit mask of the nominal value. Here is
that particular bit position 1 at which the bit was amended. If word 18 in the PLC program is investigated,
a nominal value amendment can be detected. It is recommended that after processing the nominal
value, the word 18 is zeroed with the PLC program.
7.4.5
Arrow keys in the menus
It is permissible in a node to have arrow keys to further nodes as well as to a further variable. If a nonpermissible arrow key is pressed, an accoustic error message rings, in so far as bit 8 of word 37 is log.
0. The permissible arrow keys will in addition be optically displayed, in so far as bit 8 of word 37 is
log. 0. If an LED shines statically, then a further variable on the same display page can be selected. If
on the other hand an LED flashes, then this node can be quitted.
If several nominal value variables are used in a text, they can be reached through the arrow keys. If
there are several nodes in the activated menu, the arrow keys have a double significance (variable,
node changeover). If this is not desired, then only one nominal value variable or one node per menu
may be declared.
• :
if several nominal value variables are used in a text, all the lines of a display page will be considered
as lying alongside one another and the next variable will be sort after. In case the arrow key LED’s
are released, and a futher editable nominal value variable is on hand in the direction of the arrow,
the LED will shine statically. If the actual variable happens to be the last or the first one, then the
next node will be sort after. If this is to hand, then position will be taken up on the 1. variable top
left. In case the arrow key LED’s are released and a successive node is on hand in the arrow
direction, this LED will flash. If there is no node there, then an accoustic error message will ring
out after this key has been touched.
• :
if variables are distributed over several display lines, then the first variable (left) in that particular
line will be selected which corresponds to the direction of the arrow. If the arrow key LED’s are
released, then the appertaining LED shines in this case. If there is no nominal value variable in this
line, then the next node in the direction of the arrow will be sort after. In so far as the arrow key
LED’s have been released, then in this case the appertaining LED flashes. If there are no nodes
there, an accoustic error message will follow on touching this key.
•
in the last line is always looking for the next node. Otherwise the first editable variable of the
subsequent line will be selected.
The ending of a menu can be recognized in word 16, bit 0. If the bit is log. 0, then the menu is no
longer active. The precise time of the conclusion can be recognized through negative flank detection.

7.5 Priority administration
In the PCS 900 several priorities can active at the same time (out of a total of 8). The respectively
highest switched on and released priority receives the „focus“, i.e. it can put texts in the display and
process keyboard codes. If a priority is switched off or blocked, the focus will be freshly delegated.
Priorities which are blocked, work merely in the background. For example, despite this factor, message
bits will be evaluated and the results will be registered in the history memory and in the printer
message memory.
The behaviour of the PCS can be redirected out of the PCS status; which is made available in the PLC
transfer block in the words 16 and 17, as well as in the locking bits in the command word A (W36); in
the following manner:
• Word 16 (bit 0..7) displays all the switched on priorities, even if they are blocked and for the time
being do not possess the focus.
• Word 17 (bit 12..15) shows the priority that is currently on view in the display. This is the highest
valued active released priority.
• In the command word A (W37, bit 8..11) every priority with the exception of the default priority can
be individually suppressed at any time. This can, for example, be so applied that a menu; so long
as it is active; may not be interrupted by a Reference, Warning or Fault.
Activating the key does not cause any priority change, as long as the key is depressed, the
actual priority in question, retains the focus, which it also possessed before the activation of the key.

The locking of priorities may be carried out in the PLC at any time. It is however to be born in mind,
that if this happens during the operation of the apparatus; such as the input of nominal values, the
further switching in messages or history; can lead to unwelcome action. Therefore there is a 0.5
second blocked time interval during priority exchange. During this period every control or tenner key
was rejected. During this time the accoustic warning signal rings after a key has been activated. (The
conditions for this were: bit 11 of value 37 = 0).

7.5.2
Default text priority
The operating texts 0..127 belong to this priority class (0). They can be applied as default texts. The
operating texts can and are used in menus. The PLC alone decides as to which default text (bit 8..14 in
word 38) is to be displayed and as to whether or not the default text should flash (bit 15 in word 38).
The digit and control keys do not have any function here. If however they are activated, the accoustic
error message is suppressed so that the control keys can be used for control tasks. An exception is the
key, which brings filed help texts in the default priority, onto the display. NOMINAL, NOMINAL-P- and ACTUAL values be applied as variables, though nominal values must not be entered.
Every variable is cyclically refreshened up. The DEFAULT TEXT No.0 possesses a special place. It
immediately appears after switching on the PCS, even if comunication with the PLC was not yet
started. If there is a variable in default text 0, then this variable will be replaced with a blank, until the
variable can be read out of the PLC. This is an elegant way to check if the communication has beeen
started. If a default text is chosen that was not filed, then the previous displayed default text remains
active.
7.5.3
Menu priority
127 menus are ready to be used by this priority class (2). The menus are marked with numbers from
1..127. A menu consists of one or more nodes (1..255), whereby an operating text (0..255) must be
allocated to each node.
A menu is called with the command word C (W38), bit 0..6.
The prerequisite for starting a menu priority is that a menu is programmed.
The actual node number is shown in word 16, bit 8..15 as status. More nodes can be reached within
a menu using the arrow keys whereby the structure can be freely programmed. The first specified
node is the initial node, respectively start node. On calling the menu, a spring is made to the initial
node. Whether the nominal-P variable can be amended or not is determined by the bit 7 in word 14.
If the bit 7 is log. 0, then only pure nominal value variables (NOMINAL) can be amended. If bit 7 is log.
1, then NOMINAL and NOMINAL-P variables can be amended. This bit can be amended by the PLC at
any time, e.g. node dependent.
7.5.4
Message priorities
In these priority classes (2,3 and 4) texts are called by setting bits in the message block word 41 to
maximum word 104. A MESSAGE TEXT with a maximum of 32 lines is allocated to each of the 1024
bits. An individual MESSAGE PRIORITY can be allocated to each one of the 128 texts. This is determined
during programming. Here are details about it:
• REFERENCE PRIORITY (Priority 2)
• WARNING PRIORITY (Priority 3)
• FAULT PRIORITY (Priority 4)
These priority classes differentiate themselves only in the level of priority and not in the function. For
every priority class however, there is an individual storage characteristic (word 12 bit 0..5) and an
individual display characteristic (word 20 bit 0..5) which are controlled by the PLC and therefore
liable to be switched over at any time. With reference to this matter, refer to the next chapter. If a
message bit is set, to which no message text, no protocol text and no message printer text is filed, then
there will be no reaction.

7.5.4.1 Storage characteristics
•
LAST VALUE MESSA GE WITHOUT MANUAL SELECTION POSSIBILITIES:every 0 -> 1 transfer
brings its text into the display at once. The previous entries remain in the memory. In case the
latest message text is deleted, the next latest one will appear in the display.
•
LAST VALUE MESSA GE WITH MANUAL SELECTION POSSIBILITY: the respectively latest text
call is written into the display at once and a blocking period is started for the manual operation.
After the blocking period is over, leafing can be done to the previous messages with the key and to the latest messages with the key. The text entries can at any
time be freely deleted; depending on their particular deletion characteristics; from the memory. If
the bit 10 in word 37 is log. 0, then in so far as more than one message is active, the manual
selection possibility is displayed including that with the left and right arrow key LED’s.
•
CYCLICAL DISPLAY WITHOUT MANUAL SELECTION POSSIBILITY: this kind of storage represents
the FIRST VALUE MESSAGE. If however, several texts are switched on, then the entries roll in a
cycle with a programmed rolling time. If a further switch on is made in the help text, then the
rolling time will begin anew. In principle every deletion possibility is also possible here, however
you are recommended to use deletion behaviour 1.
Example: The cyclical display is activated. Momentarily more than two messages of the same
priority are active. All the messages are programmed with the deletion behaviour 2, therefore they
can be deleted manually. The operator notices that the currently displayed message can be quitted
and he/she presses the key. Here, for example, at the same time, the cyclical display
switches onto the next message and so the wrong message is quitted !
The written storage characteristics can be separately set for each priority at any time with the bits
0..5 in word 20 (Reference, Warning and Fault). Whereby a priority changeover can lead to an
amendment of the storage characteristics, for example. The change of the storage characteristics
only has a bearing on the presentation characteristic and not on the input characteristic. In order
to avoid faulty operating, a blocking period of 0,5 seconds for the control keys is built in after the
priority changeover.
•
FIRST VALUE MESSA GE WITH MANUAL SELECTION POSSIBILITY: the first bit which has a
positive flank (0 -> 1 transfer) puts its text into the display. If still further bits are inserted, then
these texts can be reached with the key . Switching back is achieved with the
key. The text entries can at any time be freely deleted; depending on their particular
deletion characteristics; from the memory. If the bit 10 in word 37 is log. 0, then in so far as more
than one message is active, the manual selection possibility is displayed including that with the
left and right arrow key LED’s.The written storage characteristics can be separately set for each
priority at any time with the bits 0..5 in word 20 (Reference, Warning and Fault). Whereby a
priority changeover can lead to an amendment of the storage characteristics, for example. The
change of the storage characteristics only has a bearing on the presentation characteristic and not
on the input characteristic. In order to avoid faulty operating, a blocking period of 0,5 seconds for
the control keys is built in after the priority changeover. STORAGE CHARACTERISTICS: These bits
decide in which order of sequence the message memory of the PCS 900 should be displayed. They
may be amended at any time and regardless of the time of day, an amendment will be taken into
consideration in the display at once.
•
00: last message without selection possibility
•
01: last message with selection possibility
•
10: cyclical display without selection possibility
•
11: first message with selection possibility.

Basically an attempt is made, to enter the periodic appearance of the flanks into the correct time order
of succession. >In order to preserve the time characteristic of machine operation, the messages are
collected in blocks, each one with 128 bits. If more bits are set in a cycle, then the lower text numbers
within the blocks have a higher priority.
7.5.4.2 Deletion characterictic
The deletion characteristics of every message bit can be separately programmed. It is determined
with the programming of PCSPRO. There are 5 forms of deletion:
Deletion characteristics 1, or deletion with the PLC:
The text remains switched as long as the appertaining bit = 1.
If the PLC sets bit back, the message text will be deleted. The bit is principally read by the PLC.
The operating requirements-LED (?) is off.
Deletion characteristic 2, or manual deletion by setting back the message bit: the text is switched
on by an 0 -> 1 transfer and can be quitted by . Whereupon the message bit in the PLC
is deleted as a result of the deleted message bit, the text is switched off.
A setting back of the message bit on the part of the PLC, has the same effect as pressing the
key.
The message bit in the PLC program may only be set once for this deletion behaviour (- no
continuous instructions ! - ), otherwise after pressing , the message will be displayed
again.
After activating the , the operating requirements-LED (?) goes off at once.
Deletion characteristic 3, or manual deletion without setting back the message bit: the text is
switched on by an 0->1 transfer. The switching off of the text is possible at any time and must
be independant from the status of the message bit which is quitted by the key. The
message bit itself (in the PLC) must be set back by the PLC program. On activating the ,
the operating requirements-LED (?) goes off at once.
Deletion characteristic 4, or manual deletion, if the message bit is 0. The text is switched on by
an 0->1 transfer. The text can first be switched off by the key, when the message bit
has been set to 0 by the PLC. The state of the message bit is displayed by the operating
requirements-LED (?):flashing: the bit is still log. 1, therefore deletion is not possible continuous
light: the bit is log. 0, the message may be deleted.
Deletion characteristic 5 with quitting: with increasing flanks, the text is presented flashing
and underlined. As long as the bit is 1, the underline remains. If CLR is activated, the flashing
will stop.
Deletion will first be done when the bit is again 0 and the CLR has been activated.

7.5.4.3 Display characteristics
An individual display characteristic for the message priorities can be controlled at any time by the
PLC.
There are four display characteristics:
• 00: the message text is static.
• 01: message text with flashing underline
• 10: flashing message text
• 11: flashing text with flashing underline
7.5.5
History display
The PCS 900 can save up to 128 messages. 2 separate memories are provided for the printer and
display. An entry is made in the display memory, as soon as the times ARRIVED, DEPARTED, and
QUITTED (only with deletion behaviour 3,4 and 5) are established. Both memories can overwrite
themselves, i.e. an entry is always possible. However it cannot be guaranteed that the presentation of
the stored messages is perfect. In order to facilitate an analysis, the variable [HISTORY_INDEX] is
applied, which will give a consecutive number from 0 to 65535 to each entry.
The HISTORY TEXTS are entered. If no specific history text is requested, the corresponding lines of the
message text can be reached using the variable [MSGTXT_LINE01] to [MSGTXT_LINE32]. Thereby a
general formular for all messages can be created by formulating the HISTORY BLOCK TEXT. It is to be
noted, however, that external variables are not displayed. Actually it is possible to show these
continually updated in the history help text.
7.5.5.1 Activating the history display
Several requirements have to be fulfilled for this:
• bit 1 on word 36 (activating bit) must be 1.
• bit 12 on word 36 (locking bit) must be 1.
• at least one message must have been entered into the memory. This can be read in bit 11 of word
13: a log. 1 indicates to messages in the protocol memory.
If the word 36, bit 1 of 0 goes to 1, the last entered message will be abandoned. Using
leafing can be done in the direction of older messages. If there are any of these, the arrow left LED
shines. Using the leafing can be done in the direction of more recent messages. If
the priority (6) is closed (word 36 bit 12) then the next smaller and active priority will be displayed.
The 1 after 0-transfer of the bit 1 in word 36 switches off the display of history memory again.

Communications error priority
The priority level (7) described here is administered by the PLC driver. The appertaining texts cannot
be amended. The headlines are the same for every driver, the significance of the second line is
explained in the appertaining driver manual.
This priority is activated as soon as the first flowing communication with the PLC has been interrupted.
==== COMMUNICATION ERROR ====

The ending of this priority is only possible with the fresh start of the communication at the PLC.
7.5.7
Offline menu
This priority (8) is attainable with continuous communication via the key combination ,
providing that has been released with bit 15 = log. 1 in word 36 (command word A) (bit = 1). This
priority is a preliminary stage to the actual OFFLINE MENU, that can only work WITHOUT continuous
communication. A safety inquiry (in a fixed English text) follows, which must be confirmed with

Attention!
If confirmation is done with ENTER, the communication will be interrupted at once. After returning
from the OFFLINE MENU, a fresh start is carried out. In addition a communication fresh start must be
released from the PLC!

7.6 Printer
The printer output of the PCS 900 covers the following work places:
• OPERATING PRINTER
255 numerically different printer texts in word 40 will any amount of variables can be called up for
this printer. The next is printed out as soon as possible. This call is not saved.
• MESSA GE PRINTER
Here messages, similar to those in the history memory, are saved. They are later printable (on a
continuous basis too). The memory comprises 1024 messages. These messages cannot contain
any PLC variables. The memory is at a fixed low-voltage, and on the command of the PLC it can be
printed out forwards or backwards as well as several times too. The relevant control addresses are
word 37 (command word B), word 39 (command word D), as well as the status in the words 13, 14,
and 15.
The print output of the OPERATING PRINTER is considered to be of a higher priority than that of the
MESSAGE PRINTER, i.e. that an OPERATING PRINTER order will also be treated between the individual
MESSAGE PRINTER pages.
7.6.1
Printer texts
The printer texts (OPERATING and MESSAGE PRINTER) may contain every text except H00. Within
the PCSPRO the input line is limited to 132 characters and the number of lines to 126. The actual line
length on the printer is determined by the explicit inserted printer control character.
For simplification, the pseudo variables , , Fe >, and can be inserted.
These represent 8 separate (in Hex) editable character strings of maximum 8 characters.
• VARIABLES IN MESSAGE PRINTER TEXTS
The following variables are saved:
• [TEXT NUMBER]: message numbe r
• [PRINTER_INDEX]: ident numb
er from 0 to 9999
• [TIME_MSG_COMES]
• [TIME_MSG_GOES]
• [TIME_MSG_Q UITT]
• [MSGT XT_LN1] to [MSG_TXT_LN32]
The remaining printable variables are read at the time of printing. Variables that cannot be printed;
e.g. variables in message text lines; are presented as blanks with their specific lengths.

7.6.2 Message printer
7.6.2.1 Message registration
An registration is basically linked to the messages. The registration can severed with bit 14 in word
37 (command word B) (bit = 1: ignore registration). A return message of this bit is in bit 14 of word 13.
In order to that the print output can be individually adapted, every message printer text contains
several attributes:
• ARRIVED
The text is registered as soon as a positive flank of the message bit is recognized. In this text, only
the ARRIVED time is appropriate.
• DEPARTED
The text is registered on the negative flank of the message bit (independant of the deletion
characteristics). The variable [TIME_MES_QUITS] is not useful or respectively, valid in all deletion
characteristics.
• QUITTED
The text is registered by activating the (only with deletion characteristics 2..5). Eventually
the [TIME_MSG_GOES] is not valid here.
It is also possible not to select any of these attributes. In this case there is no registration. If more than
one attribute is set, then there will be a multiple registration of the same text.
And even to plan in the background, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
• No displayable message text may be planned (even the block text may not be covered by this
number).
• In the message printer text, either the attribute ARRIVED or DEPARTED is to be set. As a variable,
respectively only [TIME_MSG_COMES] or [TIME_MSG_GOES] is valid.
If only the ARRIVED attribute is set, then during background logging, the PCS sets the corresponding
message bit back into the PLC.
In order to improve orientation in the protocol memory, the number of older messages in W14 and the
number of fresher messages in W15 are made available in the PLC. The sum of both values gives the
number of messages currently in the message protocol memory. These values are independant of the
printing direction. If the bit 13 from command word B is log. 0 (FIFO principle), then the number of
messages still to be printed is in word 15. If bit 13 from command word B is log. 1 (LIFO principle),
then the number of messages still to be printed is in word 14.
• RING MEMORY
If the message protocol memory should actually become full (that would be 1024 messages), every
fresh entry overwrites the old one. Should the overwritten entry be that particular one that should
be immediately printed, then this printout is carried out to the full, and depending on the printing
direction, the next relevant entry is dealt with or the printing order is concluded. It is only possible
to write a correct log using the variable [PRINTER_INDEX].
7.6.3
Operating printer
Writing is done straight onto the printer with this print control. This is initiated by an operating
printer text number > 0 in the command word E (word 40). When the task is completed, the PCS 900
sets this word back to 0. If an operating printer text is to be printed, so long as the message printer is
running, then the operating printer is taken into consideration at the end of each message. Finally the
message printer is handled again.

7.6.4
Printout
Differentation must be made between the CHARACTER and SIDE protocols. As every printer is not
always temporaly ready to accept oncoming characters, there must exist a time orientated handshake
on the interface. The PLC takes over the page protocol. It will be decided from a message orientation
point of view, as to which protocol entry should be printed.
EVERY PRINTOUT MUST BE RELEASED BY THE SPS
7.6.4.1 LOW-LEVEL protocol
There are two procedure which can be applied here:
• XON/XOFF (with RS232 and TY)
The printer sends XOFF if there’s no readiness and XON if there’s readiness. After the start of a
new run, the PCS fundamentally chooses printer readiness. Pulling the printer cable out during the
XOFF phase can lead to the PCS will never again receiving XON. Therefore temporaly connected
printers can cause difficulties. Some printers offer the so called PERMANET XON as a safeguard, i.e.
every 2 seconds XON is repeated with printer readiness.
XON/XOFF offers the advantage, of fulfilling its task without need for the extra handshake leads,
enabling the TTY operation to be possible.
• RTS/CTS (only with RS 232)
The printer outlet RTS is connected to the CTS inlet of the PCS 900 printer interface. On some
printers this signal is also refered to as BUSY signal. A HIGH potential enables the printer outlet to
be free. If however, the printer is removed, the printout is retained.
Owing to the additional control lead, the RS 232 configuration must be selected (without potential
separation). The following signals will be required by the PCS-lateral:
TXD
Dispatch date
CTS
Handshake
GND
0 Volt (identical with 0 volt supply voltage)
SCHIRM identical with shell (no 0 volt !)

7.6.4.2 Page protocol (message printer)
Here the print order must be confered, the print direction determined, the print order released and
eventually the printer indicator adjustment. Thereupon the entire printing procedure can be adapted
to the customer’s specific requirements with just a few PLC lines. The following tools are available in
word 37 (command word b), word 39 (command word D) and word 40 (command word E):
• PRINTER CANCELLATION (W 37 BIT 15)
This bit; if it is log. 1; terminates every current order in print and every indicator setting. The
command word D (word 39) is zeroed through PCS and nothing is carried out.
• PRINTER DIRECTION (W 37 BIT 13)
This bit decides on the direction of the print and the adjustment of the indicator:
* log. 1 (LIFO). The printer prints in the direction of older messages. Indicator orders (negative value
on command word D = word 37) is in the direction of more recent messages.
* log. = (FIFO). The printer prints the messages in the order or sequence as entering (in the direction
of more recent messages). Indicator orders ensue in the direction of the older messages (negative
value on command word D = word 37). The PCS only reads this bit in connection with a new print/
indicator order; intermediate amendments are ignored.
• PRINT / INDIC
ATOR ORDER (Word 39)
A preoperational afflicted value must be written on this word in order to release a corresponding
action. If the order is completed or the end of the log memory is attained, then the PCS sets the
value to 0. This however, is only useful if bit 15 of word 37 (command word B) is log. 0.
• POSITIVE VALUE
releases a print order. The value are is 1 to 32767 (KH0001 to KH 7FFF).
• NEGATIVE VALUE
releases an indicator adjustment. The direction is determined by BIT 13. The value area is -32767
to -1 (KH8001 to KHFFFF).
* -32768
releases the deletion of the entire log memory (KH8000). Finally 0 new and 0 old messages are
registered in W14 and W15.
Att ention!
Every print order and every indicator adjustment ceases AT ONCE on switching off the PCS
900!

There are 8 automatic time switches available in word 13, bits 0..7 of the PCS 900. Each one of these
automatic time switches has up to 8 cams. There is a switch-on time and switch-off time for each
cam. The times repeat themselves daily. The specifications include hours, minutes and seconds. The
8 cams are alignied in a bit and then transfered as a complete byte. Transfer only occurs if there’s an
adjustment or a communication fresh start. In the PLC there must be an appropriate preoccupancy in
case there is a break in communications. The switching-on and switching-off time can be appointed
in advance. If the respective times are used as nominal values in menues, such as variables,
[NODE_NUMBER], [AUTO_ON/OFF_HRS/MINS/SECS], then they can be amended to ONLINE in addition.
The amended values remain in the fixed low-voltage RAM. The following are applicable to the values:
• SWITCH-ON TIME = SWIT
CH-OFF TIME
This cam is not taken into consideration
• SWITCH-ON TIME < SWIT
CH-OFF TIME
In the daytime this cam is log. 1, the last possible switch-off time is 23:59:59 hrs.
• SWITCH-ON TIME > SWIT
CH-OFF TIME
This cam is active from the switch-on time to midnight and beyond until the switch-off time the
following day. As the situation must be continually evaluated, a position on the clock is immediately
apparent as soon as the cam is relinquished.
Att ention!
This applies in the same way when amending the on/off switch time. That means that when
the on/off switch time is amended, it leads to the immediate setting/or setting back of the
cams. In order to be able to define an unmistakeable on/off switch time, you should not evaluate
the cams during the setting of the menu nodes.
7.8 Alarm outlet/contact
There is a non-potential relais contact available between the connectors 6 and 7. These are closed
when all of the following requirements have been fulfilled:
• The PCS 900 has been switched on and has an operating voltage.
• Communication to the PLC is in operation.
• There is at least one message switched on under the nomenclature alarm contact.
• And the release bit, bit 3 in word 36, command word A, is on log.1
If one of these requirements is absent, then the contact remains open.

7.9 Real time clock
Usually the time and date are freely disposable in words 9 to 12 in the PLC. If the PLC possesses its
own real time clock, the PCS clock can be synchronized to it. For this bit 6 and 5 in word 36 must first
be set to 1 (transfer block). If an 0->1 transfer is set on bit 0, then the PCS reads the time, date and
weekday from the PLC one cycle later, goes on to amend the internal clock accordingly and sets bit 0
in word 36 back.
7.10
Operation time clock
The fixed low-voltage driven operation time clock in the PCS is presented by the internal variable
[OPR_HRS_ACT]. On switching on the device it is checked to make sure it works. If it isn’t working, an
English written error text appears in the display simultaneously to the switch on. In an emergency,
the operating hours can be are set by the internal variable [OPR_HRS_NOMINAL]. The operation time
clock only runs as long as the communication to the PLC is running and bit 1 from word 36 is set.

Driving the PCS 900 is done via a transfer block, which has a maximum of 256 words and is in the
PLC. The PLC controls all the functions of the PCS with these words. It grabs „writing“ and „reading“
onto this data. The control of the communication between PLC and PCS is organized by the
accompanying operating software and explained by the manual PCS 91.x along with it. Safeguarding
data and communication protocol is taken over by the communication processor (e.g. PCS 810-1),
respectively the operating system of the PLC and the PCS.
As the transfer area; for example, with regard to length, size, and functionality; is dependent on the
parameterized driver, then the corresponding „Driver Manual PCS 91.x“ should be used as well.
Basically two data exchange principles are made available:
The first principle of data exchange is the expander driver (example : L1). Data exchange occurs via
the dispatch and reception department. Here the PCS writes the „orders“ and reads the answer dates.
In order to carry out this „task“ in the transfer area, you need an expander program in the PLC. This
expander program can considerably overburden the cycle time. The exchanged amount of data is
small and the speed of the communication reaction is fast. Access to the transfer area can occur at any
time, except by interrupting the program. This principle lends itself to the PLC system which can
indirectly address and whose cycle time is of no great significance. The second principle is the direct
driver (example: AS511). This type of driver writes and reads directly into the transfer area of the PLC.
Thereupon there is no need for an expander program in the PLC. The amount of exchanged data is
therefore large and the communication reaction time slower. As the exchange is not synchronized to
the PLC cycle, then access to the transfer area in the PLC program may only be done synchronized.
Synchronisation is done through a word from transfer area. The encumbrance to the PLC cycle time is
small. This principle is used in systems which do not have indirect addressing or with those that must
have a minimum encumbrance to the cycle time.

The errors detected by the PLC are recorded in the HIGH byte of word 3. As these errors are dependent
on the driver it is advisable to refer to the manual PCS 91.x. Should a communications error arise, then
the reason for it can be read there. It is especially important to have this information to hand when
giving out information over the telephone.
This errror ends the communication (PLC-laterally realized!). First after a COMMUNICATION-RESET by
the PLC is an attempt again made to recommence the communication. A return is made to the previously
active position in the PCS. Owing to a throughput of customer specific predisplacement and emergency
programes in the PLC, information can be lost. If you wish, you can avoid this by undertaking the
appropriate programming.

These key bits are log. 1 as long as the corresponding key is pressed down and the communication is
functioning without a fault. The control keys in LOW byte of W15 should only be used with care as
they are required in various priorities, for example in the menu priority for the editing of nominal
values.
Words 7 and 8 are reserved for the keyboard extension (PCS 891).

There is a low-byte in log. 1 for every switched on priority (independant of locking or focus).
That particular priority will be numerically displayed in word 17, that possess the focus. For example,
a message bit is active and its text has the class fault, the fault priority is not closed and the history
memory is switched off, then there number 4 appears in bits 12 to 15 and message number of that
particular message appears in the display in the bits 0 to 9. It can be deduced from the priority that it

With a bit variable, the bit number can be conveyed from the bit mask of W19. That bit which has
amended itself, will be registered in the bit mask with a log. 1. All the other bits appear with log. 0.
The new status of the corresponding bits can be determined by joining the registered word number in
W18 and the bit mask.
Example:
A bit variable that was programed on word 41 (bit 11) as NOMINAL value, is amended in a menu
(previously log. 0, after pressing the [ ] became log. 1). Thereafter the following values exist in W18
and W19.
W18:
00101001 xxx00000
W19:
00001000 00000000
Through logical „joining“ of the words W19 and W41 you attai the value 00001000 00000000, therefore
<> 0. Thereby bit 11 is set to log. 1.

As every LED has 2 bits at its disposal, each LED can take on 4 states:
• out
• on
• flashing (75% bright phase, 25% dark phase)
• inverse flashing (25% bright phase, 75% dark phase)
If one LED is flashing and another is inverse flashing, the shine alternately. The bright phase of one
LED is by the other one the dark phase and opposite.
The state of an LED arises from the 2 bits belonging to one another of word Wx and Wx 1.(W20 and
W21, W22 and W23, W24 and W25, W26 and W27).

STORAGE CHARACTERISTICS
These bits determine the sequence in which the PCS 900 message memory should be displayed.
They may be amended at any time. Should at any time an amendment occur in the display, it will be
taken at once.
• 00: Latest message without selection possibility
• 01: Latest message with selection possibility
• 10: Cyclical display (without selection possibility)
• 11: First message with selection possibility
The further switching on of other messages by hand with is only possible in
the mode 01 - latest message with selection possibility - and mode 11 - first message with selection
possibility. From this point you can either leaf to the older messages with and to the
latest messages with .
If the bit 10 in the command word A (W37) is log. 0, then the arrow-LED’s in addition show the leafing
possibilities within the message text page and from the oldest message to the more recent message manual selection possibility.
The various deletion possibilities and the leafing on the help lines are written in the chapter „MESSAGE
PRIORITIES“.

The alarm signal is released with log. 1. Furthermore additional requirements must be met
(refer to description). With log. 0, the alarm relais is always switched off, i.e. the contact is
open.
The operating time clock is activated with log. 1. In order that the operating time clock works
properly, the communication to the PLC must operate smoothly too.
The display of the history memory is activated with the log. 1, and with log. 0 it is switched off.
With each flank (0->1) the latest message is activated, in so far as one is entered it the log
memory.
With every log. 1, this allows the unique transfer of the time from the PLC into the PCS. It may
only be set here. The PCS sets it in the same PLC cycle to 0, after the transfer process has been
carried out.

A continuous print order; only message printer; can be cancelled with log. 1. As long as the bit
is 1, then every print order is quitted at once or not carried out. This bit is respectively inspected
before the printout of a message. If the printer however, is not ready, and is in the middle of
executing a message, then this cancellation cannot take place. In order to establish that this
cancellation was recognized by the PCS, this bit is reflected in word 13 at the same bit position.
An entry in the message printer memory can be suppressed with log. 1. Before a message can
be entered, the PCS checks this bit. In order to be sure that the PCS has read this bit, there will
be a reflection in word 13 at the same position.
Log. 0 permits the printer to print out in the direction of the most recent messages, and log. 1 in
the direction of the older messages. This bit is checked out before the execution of a message
printout. In order to be sure that the PCS has recognized this bit, it is reflected in word 13 at the
same bit position.
The history memory for the display, can be deleted with a positive flank (0 -1 transfer). In order
to be sure that the PCS has recognized this bit, it is reflected in word 15 at the same bit position.
The PCS warning signal for incorrect operation can be switched off with the log. 1.
The LEDs in the arrow keys within the message priority as well as the history priority can be
suppressed with log. 1 (forced switch-off).
The LEDs in the arrow keys within the HELP texts can be switched off with log. 1 (forced

The LEDs in the arrow keys within the menus can be suppressed with log. 1 (forced switchoff).
0-7: Log. 1 enables the transfer of the message blocks to be activated separately. In order to save
cycle time for example, all blocks can be blocked with log. 0 and in the case of an error, be
released with log. 1.
Att ention!
The blocking of transfers can lead to undesirable effects, if they occur at the wrong moment.
For example after the blocking of a transfer; with the exception of deletion characteristics 4; a
set message cannot not for time being be deleted although the message bit in the PLC is on log.
0.! Therefore only apply blocking to the transfer if you are sure that this will not lead to any
unpleasant effects!

You can activate or end a menu by writing a value on bit 0..6. It can be started by writing a
binary coded value > 0, therefore 1..127 on bit 0. The first text to reach the display is the
defined operating text for the initial node i.e. start node. If one or more NOMINAL variables get
into a menu node, then the first one will be activated. At first it appears underlined. Now
nominal values can be entered and branched out in the menu with the [ARROW KEYS]
corresponding to your own created menu definitions. Providing bit 8 in word 37 = command
word A is log. 0, then a useful help to you at any time are the arrow key LEDs.
If you want to end a menu, then simply zero the bits 0..6. Whether this menu end should be a
CANCELLATION or an ACCEPTANCE of nominal values, can be programmed for every menu in
the PCSPRO. The standard setting is ACCEPTANCE.

The NOMINAL-P variable can be amended at any time in the actual displayed menu nodes with
bit 7 = log. 1. As soon as the bit log. is 0, the NOMINAL-P variable can no longer be amended.
Hereby „key switch“ dependent menus, respectively variables enable themeselves to be
formulated. NOMINAL-P variables are then treated like ACTUAL values.
If during the editing of a NOMINAL-P value, bit 7 goes from 1 to 0, this is a cancellation. Nothing
is written back and the cursor positions itself anew on the first NOMINAL value in the node. As
of PCSPRO (>VO.C), this can be parameterized for every menu.

Print job / Pointer adjustment (low byte)
The message printer is controlled with this word. On writing a 16 bit number <> 0 one of the three
following commands will be carried out.
• Number larger than 0, smaller/same H7FFF (<32767)
This is a print order. The printer tries to print out as many messages as either this number specifies
or the number of messages there are in the memory. It concerns itself with those messages that are
not yet printed. The direction is determined by the LIFO bit.
• Number smaller than 0 (-1 to -32767)
This is an indicator adjustment. This number is put back as far as possible in the message message
printer. The direction depends on the LIFO bit. If this bit is 0, then it will be adjusted in the
direction of the older messages. If this bit is 1, then it will be adjusted in the direction of the more
recent messages.
• H8000 or -32768
This number causes a deletion of the message printer memory.
After a successful completion, the PCS writes this word to zero. Only after this has been done can a
new order be accepted.

The operating printer is controlled with this word. An operating printer formular is printed by writing
a 16 bit number <> 0. After completion of the print order or when this operating printer text is no
longer on hand, then the PCS writes this word to zero. It’s first after this that a new order can be
accepted.

A MESSAGE TEXT is allocated to every bit (0..511, each with max. 32 lines), whereby every text can
possessa specific priority (F,W,R) and a specific deletion characteristic (1-5).
• CONVERTING MESSAGE TEXT NUMBERS INTO DW NUMBERS
W = Pre-comma positions of (message text/16) 41
Bit = Post comma positions of (message text/16) * 16
Example:
Search for the bit position of the message text 165.
165 / 16 = 10.3125
10 41 51
0.3125 * 16 = 5
The message text number 165 corresponds to W51 bit5.
• EVALUATION
Maximum 1 message block is collected per PLC cycle. Should an evaluation take place in every
cycle, then only 1 message block may be used and the parameter PLC CYCLE TIME must be
selected large enough (refer to the TECHNICAL APPENDIX).
• FRESH RUN
As the message memory of the PCS is fixed low-voltage, then this should also be the case with the
PLC. Otherwise any messages for the log memory in new runs will have to be entered several
times.
• TRANSFER
A bit is scheduled for every message block in command word B W37) with which the transfer can
be printed. If these bits are amended during running, then this should only occur after all the bits
of this block have been zereod. Otherwise these bits are initialized only on a fresh run and are not
amended after that.

Variables area
The variable area lies betwen word W110 and the maximum word W255. If this area should not be
enough, then the extension area W105 to W109 can be used. This area is specially designed for
eventual extensions and therefore should only be used with caution (PLC-program amendment!). If
none or not all the messages can be used, then the words 41..104 can be brought in for variables.
For further information on the various variable types please refer to the chapter „VARIABLES/TEXTS/
MENUS“.
Before the data exchange all the variables; nominal and actual values; must be written in the
corresponding words. After the data exchange, maximum one nominal value; corresponding to the
nominal value status in W18 and 19; must be read back from the corresponding words.
It is recommendable to address variables of the same display page in bundles! This also partly helps
to save PLC cycle time.
The allocation of addresses for the individual variables occurs within the PCSPRO.
The variable formats STRING, CSTRING, BCD, BIN, WORD and ASCII use the words right-aligned and
ascending, e.g. BIN-2, on W50..W51. W50 is HIGH word and W51 LOW word. The format BIT can be
applied to every individual bit. In order to refer to all 16 bits in a bit manner, 16 BIT variables must be
set up. One and the same word can be source, and target for several variables and even different
formats. Concerning the nominal value, it is recommended to only allocate one variable to a word.
However, one or more actual value variables and even various formats can be allocated simultaneously
to this word.
Prominent unused bits in the STRING, CSTRING, BCD(0)-1 (lengths 1..3) and BCD(0)-2 (lengths 1..7)
types of nominal values are ignored on being read and on being written back into the PLC are set to
0. The BIT type amends only the bit refered to!
Nominal values should be occupied before the fresh start in respect of their permissible MIN-/MAX
values as they require this as pro forma value for editing. If they are outside the MIN/MAX area,
inverse fields will be displayed on presentation. As they are nominal values, these can first be left
after the correction.
With 32 bit variables, the word with the lower number has the greater value and the word with the
higher number has the lesser value.
Type BIT and CSTRING variables are immediately written in the PLC after the amendment. All the
other ones are first written after or on quitting the variable field which can be parameterized.
