1 Safety Instructions

Ensure Your Own Safety
Disconnect the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B from the electricity mains to carry out
maintenance work. By doing so, you will prevent accidents resulting from electric
voltage and moving parts.

Instructions on EMI
The noise immunity of a system corresponds to the weakest component of the
system. For this reason, correct wiring and shielding of the cables is important.

Important!
Measures for increasing immunity to interference:

Shielding must be done on both ends of the applicable cables.
The entire shield must be drawn behind the isolation, and then be
clamped under a strain relief with the greatest possible surface area.
When the signal is connected to terminal screws: The strain relief must
directly and with the greatest possible surface area be connected with a
grounded surface.
When male connectors are used: Only use metallised connectors, e.g.
SUB-D with metallised housing. Please take care of direct connection
here as well.
On principle, physical separation should be maintained between signal
and voltage lines.

Jetter AG

1 Safety Instructions

PROCESS-PLC

Male/female SUB-D connectors (9, 15 or 25 pins) with metallised
housing.

Fig. 1: Shielding in conformity with the EMC standards

Important!
To avoid malfunctions the following must be ensured:

The shielding must be clamped under a strain relief with the greatest
possible surface area.
The connection between the housing and the shielding must be
electrically conducting.
The distance between unshielded conductor ends must be as short as
possible.

Modifications and Alterations to the Module
For safety reasons, no modifications and changes to the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B
and its functions are permitted. Any modifications to the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B
not expressly authorised by the manufacturer will result in a loss of any liability claims
to Jetter AG.
The original parts are specially designed for the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B. Parts and
equipment of other manufacturers are not tested on our part, and are, therefore, not
released by us. The installation of such parts may impair the safety and the proper
functioning of the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B.
For any damages resulting from the use of non original parts and equipment any
claims with respect to liability of Jetter AG are excluded.

NANO-B

1 Safety Instructions

Malfunctions
Malfunctions or other damages are to be reported to an authorised person
immediately. The PROCESS-PLC NANO-B must be protected from improper or
inadvertent use. Only qualified experts are allowed to carry out repairs.
Safety and protective devices, e.g. the barrier and cover of the terminal box, must
never be shunted or by-passed.
Dismantled protective equipment must be reattached prior to commissioning and
checked for proper functioning.

Information Signs and Labels
Writings, information signs, and labels always have to be observed and kept
readable.
Damaged or unreadable information signs and labels are to be exchanged.

Residual Dangers

Danger resulting from electric shock!
If the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B is not isolated from the mains, for example during
maintenance and repair works, you can suffer from an electric shock.
Please, observe the following precautions in order to avoid injuries such as
muscle cramps, burns, unconsciousness, respiratory standstill:

Isolate the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B from the mains (pull out the mains
plug) when working on the control system.

Important!
When the DK-422 cable is used, care must be taken that the end marked with
"CPU" is connected to the basic controller NANO-B. The other end of the cable
must be connected to the user interface. If the cable is connected the other way
round, the port of the user interface will be destroyed.

Important!

not to steep, otherwise the motor will skip steps.

of their function is made in register 11104.

Note!
If, in spite of correct wiring, the axis cannot be positioned, polarity reversal of limit
switches can be a possible cause. If the limit switches have been defined as NC's
and if no signal is present, the stepper motor will interpret this as if the axis had
actuated the limit switch. In this case, positioning in direction of the limit switch is
not possible.

Important!
Usually, the power amplifier includes pull-up resistors for STEP and DIR signals.
In case there are no pull-up resistors, an external circuitry with pull-up
resistors must be set up. When doing so, the maximum current is limited to
300 mA, or else the transistors of the controller will be destroyed.
For this purpose, it is mandatory to read the description of connections given
in the operator's manual of the relevant stepper motor and power amplifier
manufacturer.Malfunctions during operation of your plant can only be avoided if
the connection is correct.
Connection according to fig. 13, page 38 is only one option for connecting a
specific stepper motor controller, and is not universally applicable.

STEP and DIR
Signals

PROCESS-PLC

STEP and DIR outputs are open collector outputs. The 0 V potential is applied to
the terminals through these outputs. The voltage is determined by the power
circuitry of the stepper motor drive. As a rule, switching voltage is supplied by the
power unit via pull-up resistors, thus enabling direct connection of motors.

5.3 Register Description

5.3

5.3.1

User Registers

•

In the register range 0 through 1999, 2000 remanent user registers are
available to the user. They serve as buffers for storage of comparison and
measured values, as well as of setpoints.

•

These registers are 24 Bit wide and have got a value range from +8,388,607
through -8,388,608.

•

For example, registers are loaded using the instruction REGISTER_LOAD.

Note!

The contents of the 2000 NANO-B user registers are maintained after switching
off the power supply.

5.3.2

Programming with the Aid of Registers

The instruction
REGISTER_LOAD [x with a]

serves for loading of numeric values or contents of other registers into a register.
In the instruction above, "x" represents the number of the register value "a" is to be
written into by analogy with Fig. 18 and Fig. 19.

Fig. 18: REGISTER_LOAD with
numeric parameters

Jetter AG

Fig. 19: REGISTER_LOAD with
symbolic parameters

5 Software Programming

Indirect and
Double Indirect
Addressing

PROCESS-PLC

For the x and the a in the instruction shown above, not only a number can be
written, but a register can be specified as well. By pressing the space key an R is
placed in front of the register number.
If R(y) is written instead of x, value a is written into the register the number of
which is contained in register y.
If R(b)is written instead of a, not the value itself, but the content of the specified
register is loaded into register x or R(y).
If, instead of a, RR (press space key twice) is entered and then a number b, first, the
value contained in the register with the number b is read.
REGISTER_LOAD [x with RR(b)]

This value then serves as register number. This means, a new value is read in the
register with the specified number, and then stored to register x.

Fig. 20: Indirect and Double Indirect Addressing

Examples:
1. Loading of a number into a register
REGISTER_LOAD [rNewPosition with 1280]

Value 1280 is loaded into the register rNewPosition.

2. Copying one register into another register
REGISTER_LOAD [rVoltage with R(rVoltage1)]

The value which is contained in the register rVoltage1 will be
loaded into register rVoltage. In other words, the contents of
register rVoltage1 is copied into register rVoltage.

Jetter AG

NANO-B

5.3 Register Description

3. Loading by double indirect addressing
REGISTER_LOAD [rVoltage with RR(rV Pointer)]

The value of the register, the number of which is specified in register
r(V Pointer), is loaded into register rVoltage.

The following instruction will be carried out with the given parameters:

This instruction will result in the following register values and the
graphic representation shown in Fig. 21:

remains unchanged

R111 = 70035

5.3.3

Calculating with the Aid of Registers

The following instructions are used for calculations:
• REG
• REGNULL
• REGDEC
• REGINC

The register number can indirectly be specified for all four instructions.

Fig. 22: Example of Register Arithmetic

Programming
Instruction REG

This instruction obtains direct access to the value of a register and can be dealt
with like a variable. In an output instruction, a certain value is assigned to the
register above the equals sign. In an input condition, the content of a register is
read. In both cases, the register accesses below the equals sign result in reading
the register content.
Examples:
1. THEN
REG 1
=
REG 105
*
25

In this example an assignment (output instruction) is shown, which is initiated by
THEN. Register 105 is read and its contents multiplied by 25. The result of this
arithmetic operation will be stored in register 1. The contents of register 105 will
remain unchanged.

Jetter AG

NANO-B

5.3 Register Description

2. IF
REG 1
=
REG 105
*
25
THEN

In this case the expression REG 1 = REG 105 * 25 is not part of an output
instruction, but of an input condition. In this part of the program the value of register
1 remains unchanged. It will only be compared with the product REG 105 * 25.
Programming
Instruction
REGNULL

The meaning of this instruction as an input condition following IF or WHEN is
explained in the example below:

Example: REGZERO compared with REG
IF
REGZERO 49
THEN

IF
REG 49
=
0
THEN

These two program parts have the same functions. On the righthand
side of the example the comparison is carried out as a general
arithmetic comparison. On the lefthand side of the example the
special instruction REGZERO is used. Using REGZERO speeds up
program execution.

Jetter AG

5 Software Programming

Programming Instruction REGDEC
and REGINC

PROCESS-PLC

These two instructions serve for decreasing (decrementing), respectively
increasing (incrementing) a register value by 1. Such functions are frequently
used in loops for increasing or decreasing counters and pointers.

Example: REGDEC compared with REG
THEN
REGDEC 100

THEN
REG 100
=
REG 100
1

These two program parts have the same functions. With both of
them, the value of register 100 is decremented by 1.

Example: REGINC compared with REG
THEN
REGDEC 88

THEN
REG 88
=
REG 88
+
1

These two program parts have the same functions. With both of
them, the value of register 88 is incremented by 1.

Example: REGDEC and REGZERO
REGISTER_LOAD [1 with 10]
Label 55
...
REGDEC 1
IF
REGZERO 1
THEN
ELSE
GOTO 55
THEN

This way, a loop can be realised which executes a certain number of
iterations. During each run of the loop, the value of the "counting
register" is decremented by one and is being checked whether it is 0
(REGZERO 1). If the value is 0, the first THEN will be ignored and the
loop will go to the second THEN to continue execution of the program
there. If the value of register 1 is not 0, the program will return to the
starting point of the loop.

PROCESS-PLC

Description of Connections

The user interface cables DK-422, resp. EM-DK are used to connect user interfaces
to the LCD input of the NANO-B basic control unit. Refer to specification for user
interface cables on page 28 and page 23.

6.3

Multi-Display Mode

Multi-display mode allows a PROCESS-PLC NANO-B to be operated with up to four
LCD user interfaces. When doing so, the same or different texts and/or register
contents can be displayed on the various user interfaces.
Specific parameters for the LCD user interface used are described in the
corresponding Operator's Manual.
To each user interface a specific number has to be assigned.
If only one LCD user interface is used, value 0 is assigned to it always.
If more than one LCD user interface is used, a value between 1 and 4 is
assigned to each LCD user interface starting with 1. In this case, a display
with # 1 must be existing.

The display, to which # 1 was assigned, is the master LCD. After power-up only the
first LCD user interface is synchronised with the PROCESS-PLC. The other LCDs
remain inactive until they receive command signals.

Note!
User input and monitor mode can be activated at the same time only for one
display.

Note!
•
•
•
•
•
•

Power supply of several LCD user interfaces cannot be performed by the
controller itself.
LCD user interfaces have to be supplied by a separate 15 V to 30 V DC power
supply unit.
Power consumption of individual LCD user interfaces has to be taken into
account during system design and for using the system.
For connecting several user interfaces to the LCD port of the PROCESS-PLC
you need an adaptor or modified connecting cables.
The originally shipped cables have to be modified according to Fig. 23, page 77.
In multi-display mode only user interfaces with RS 422 interface can be used.

The cursor position 0 has a special meaning: If cursor position 0 is set, new text will
be attached to the text displayed last. The cursor is located at exactly the same
position, where it had been positioned after execution of the last instruction
"DISPLAY_TEXT".

6 User Interfaces, Operator Guidance

6.4.3

PROCESS-PLC

Control Characters for Text Output

The two characters "_" and "$" serve as control characters for text output.
DELSCR

„_" When this character is used, first, the displayed text is deleted and then,
irrespective of the specified parameter, the given text is displayed starting from
cursor position 1. This character does only make sense, when it is placed at the
beginning of the text, as otherwise the first part of the text would be displayed first,
and then would be deleted immediately. This character has got the meaning DELSCR
(Delete Screen). If this character is to be displayed, the character code for DELSCR
can be changed in the special register.

DELEOL

„$" This character deletes the rest of a line from the present cursor position on. It is
also referred to as DELEOL (Delete End Of Line).

Examples:
DISPLAY_TEXT [#0, cp=0, "_Actual Position:"]

By using this instruction the entire LCD display is deleted first, and "Actual position:"
is then displayed on the upper line of the display (cursor position = 1). Any numeral
displayed previously will be ignored following DELSCR. The following display will
appear:

Actual Position:

DISPLAY_TEXT [#0, cp=25, "_Set Position:$"]

After issuing this instruction, the text "Set Position:" is written at the given cursor
position, i.e. at the beginning of the second line of the display. Then, the rest of this
line is deleted.
DISPLAY_TEXT [#0, cp=0, "ERROR"]

After issuing this instruction, the text "ERROR" is written, starting from the present
cursor position.
While doing so, this text is simply attached to any already existing text.
Register 2814

The cursor position is indirectly specified by register 2814.

Note!
If register 2814 is containing a value ≠ 0, this value is interpreted as cursor
position and the text "ERROR" is written at the given position, e.g. with the following
instruction:
DISPLAY_TEXT [#0, cp=1, "Error"]

Jetter AG

NANO-B

6.4 Programming the User Interfaces

6.4.4

Displaying Register Contents

A register value can be output on a user interface using the following instruction:
DISPLAY_TEXT [#, cp= Reg=]

The parameters "DeviceNo" and "CursorPos" have got exactly the same function as
described for the DISPLAY_TEXT instruction, refer to chapter 6.4.3: "Control
Characters for Text Output", page 80. Additionally, a register number is to be
specified. Of course, this is the number of the register, the contents of which are to
be displayed. For this purpose, indirect addressing can be applied as well.

Examples:
DISPLAY_REG [#0, cp=17, Reg=100]

Through this instruction, register 100 is displayed on the LCD. If register 2812 has
not been changed since reset, the register value is displayed at the end of the first
display line, as shown below (assumption: the display was empty before the
instruction was issued, and register 100 = -3567):

.............................................- 3567
.............................................................

The dots are to represent the positions which have still got the „previous“ contents
after issuing the instruction.

DISPLAY_TEXT [#0, cp=25, "Actual Position:$"]
DISPLAY_REG [#0, cp=41, Reg=12109]

From this example can be seen how the two DISPLAY instructions can be combined
usefully.
First, the text "Actual Position:" is written into the second line (on the left), while the
rest of the second line is deleted (dollar sign "$"). The second instruction is used to
display the contents of register 12109 on the bottom right of the display. With a servo
controller module which is plugged onto module 2, the actual position is stored to this
register. For example, the actual position of axis 21 has got the value 5400.

.........................................................
Actual Position:
5400

The dots are to represent the positions which have still got the „previous“ contents
after issuing the instruction.

6.4.5

PROCESS-PLC

Query of Register Values

The instruction:

USER_INPUT [#, cp= Reg=]

serves to read in register values which can be input using a user interface.
To both of the parameters "Device Number" and "Cursor Position" the same
conditions apply as to the DISPLAY_TEXT instruction. If cursor position 0 is entered,
the value contained in register 2814 is taken as cursor position for user input. If the
value of register 2814 is 0 (default value following reset), the present cursor position
is used for user input.
The register number is the number of the register to which the value that has been
entered is to be assigned. Here, simple indirect register addressing is possible as
well.

Important!
As a rule, for USER_INPUT 8 characters available. This value which is stored to
register 2813 can also be altered.

Example:
DISPLAY_TEXT [#0, cp=1, "_New Position?"]
USER_INPUT [#0, cp=17, Reg=100]

To provide meaningful user guidance, the USER_INPUT instruction usually is
combined with the DISPLAY_TEXT instruction. The effect of these two instructions is
that the text "New Position?" is displayed on the top left of the display. Then, the
controller is waiting for a numeral to be entered. This numeral will be stored to
register 100 and will serve as new set position for positioning purposes.

Fixed-point Numbers

Fixed-point numbers can be displayed and entered with the help of the user
interface. While doing so, the functions of register 2812: "Field length for
DISPLAY_REG" and register 2813: "Field length for USER_INPUT" remain unchanged.
These registers are specified as mentioned above.

Example:
The instruction
DISPLAY_REG [#0, cp=1, reg=200]

is used to display the contents of register 200 on the LCD.
The number 20.00, for example, is displayed by the following register definitions:

[Divisor for Value Output DISPLAY_REG]

[Decimal Positions for DISPLAY_REG]

Note!
The numeric value of register 200 remains unchanged. For representation
purposes on the display, a decimal point is added only.

Decimal Positions

The number of decimal positions for data input is defined through the value of this
register.
As an alternative, instead of register 2808, register 2807 can also be used. A
maximum of four decimal positions is possible.

Example:
Data is downloaded from the user interface to register 200 using the following
instruction:
USER_INPUT [#0, cp=1, reg=200]

Once the value 20.00 is entered by the operator, the following values appear in the
relevant registers:

[Divisor for value output USER_INPUT]

[Decimal positions for USER_INPUT]

Note!
The numerical value of register 200 is 2000. For representation purposes, on the
display a decimal point is added only. The operator has to input the value for
register 200 only, together with the desired decimal places. From this input the
values of register 2807 and register 2808 will result.

USER_INPUT: Suggested Value

An additional special register, i.e. register 2815, has been provided to suggest a
value (default value) to the user when issuing the USER_INPUT instruction.
The value contained in register 2815 will be shown on the display followed by the
cursor, instead of 0. The operator may either confirm this value (default value) by
pressing ENTER, or alter it. The altered value is accepted by pressing ENTER.
By pressing C (clear), the input is deleted; then the suggested value contained in
register 2815 will appear again.
Example 1:
USER_INPUT [#0, cp=1, Reg=100]

The displayed value 0 is the default value of register 2815.
Example 2:

input with decimal positions by the user, these data are read out of register 2807 or
2808.
Register 2807 represents a divisor from which the amount of decimal positions
results. For example, if the divisor value is 10, the resulting amount of decimal
positions will be 1 (1/10 = 0.1).

Description

The data being supplied by the NANO-B controller are integer values. If these are to
be displayed with decimal positions on the user interface using the DISPLAY_REG
instruction, this can be achieved by using either register 2809 or 2810.
Register 2809 represents a divisor from which the amount of decimal positions
results. For example, if the divisor value is 10, the resulting amount of decimal
positions will be 1 (1/10 = 0.1).

Description
Present value of the amount of decimal positions for
DISPLAY_REG:
Value 0: No decimal position
Value 1: 1 decimal position
......
Value 4: 4 decimal positions
Value following reset: 0

Write

Present value of the amount of decimal positions for
DISPLAY_REG.

Value range

0-4

Unlike register 2809 where the amount of decimal positions is defined by a divisor,
in register 2810 the amount of decimal positions can be specified directly.
If, for example, 3 decimal positions are to be displayed, the value 3 can directly be
input into register 2810. In register 2809, though, the divisor to be input would be
1000.

Definition of the number of positions to be displayed. A maximum of 8 positions can
be assigned to register display.
If values of two or three characters are to be displayed only, the actually required
number of positions can be assigned to the display by using register 2812. This is of
special importance if a great number of texts and values are to be displayed on a user
interface.
The following rule applies: Contents of register 2812 = Number of positions to be
displayed + sign
For example, value of register 2812 = 4 corresponds to 3 positions +1 sign
e.g. - 1 2 3

Note!
It should be considered that one position each is occupied by the sign and the
decimal point. If a 6-digit value is to be displayed, into register 2812 the value 7,
resp. 8 is to be entered.

The NANO controller provides 4 text buffers for multi-display mode. Using the
DISPLAY_TEXT or DISPLAY_REG commands data can be written into this buffer.
When using these commands, the device number defines the buffer which is
activated by the corresponding command. If a device number between 1 and 4 is
used, the buffer is addressed directly. If device number 0 is used, that buffer is
addressed at which register 2824 points. This way it is possible to divert a text, for
which device number 0 was specified, to several displays.
With the help of registers 2825 through 2828 a buffer can be assigned to each
display.

Registers 2829 through 2832 make possible to shift the flag area, reflecting the key
status of the displays, within the whole flag range of the NANO controller.

Note!
The value following a reset maps the keys of all displays into the standard flag
area for single-display mode, i.e. from flag 2160 through 2223.

The flag area for keys is calculated by the following formula:
Flag area for keys = Basic number + (160..223)
If, for example, the basic number is set to -161, the F1 key is mapped to flag 40.

Example:
Following a reset the F1 key is mapped to flag 2201 since the basic number is 2000.

These registers are for assigning flags, which control LEDs of displays, to several
address areas. Following a reset the LEDs of all displays are assigned to those flags
to which they are assigned in single-display mode, i.e. to the flags 2224 through
2235.
With the help of registers 2833 through 2836 a register can be assigned to each
display. The lower 12 bits of these registers, then, control the LEDs.
If a given register is overlaid by flags, LEDs can also be addressed via these flags
and not only via register bits.
Example: Flags 2224 through 2239 are overlaid on register 2649.

User Interface
Priority

Set flag for high user interface priority, delete flag for low user
interface priority

Definition of the user interface priority. The user interface is serviced by a kind of
background task. In most cases, the user interface has got a priority lower than the
priority of the application program. In this case, the user interface will not be
serviced before complete processing of all user tasks. Usually, this is absolutely
sufficient, since processing will happen in the range of milliseconds which will not
be regarded by the user as waiting time.
This waiting time increases if, especially on four-line displays, a great number of
values is being displayed and the system is waiting for user inputs. Once the priority
of the user interface is raised by setting flag 2057, the user interface is serviced after
each user task. The operating system is then servicing sequentially: Task 0, user
interface, task 1, user interface, task 2, user interface etc.
For further details on task processing refer to register description for task control.

Note!
For normal operation, the user interface priority should be set to low, i.e. flag 2057 = 0.
If during user input there are remarkable delays, the user interface priority can be
raised by setting flag 2057 to 1.
In most cases, more complex user and display functions are required in manual
and setting-up mode of the machinery. Thus, it is possible to set this flag in manual
mode (high priority) and to delete it again in automatic mode (low priority).

7.1

JETWay-H: JETTER Data Highway

The data highway JETWay-H enables several networked control systems of the
PROCESS-PLC family to be controlled by a host computer. Purely technical, the
maximum amount of nodes to be controlled is 126. However, with such a number
of nodes reasonable communication on the network gets next to impossible, since
transmission rate slows down. Therefore, it is advisable to limit the number of nodes
to be controlled to 98. In detail, network operation means:
•
•
•
•
•

Visualisation
Programming
Data transfer
Production data acquisition
Service functions; access to each control system

In addition to this, using a modem remote maintenance of the entire machinery of a
plant is possible.

7.3.1

N-SEND REGISTER

Note!

The PROCESS-PLC NANO-B can be operated as master or slave in a JETWAY-R
network.

By using the following instruction, the master controller can write values into registers
of slave controllers:
N-SEND REGISTER [to from Reg to Reg]

•

: PASE # stands for the network number of the slave controller which

is to be addressed via the network.
•

: Here, the number of the register is specified, the value of which
is to be transmitted to a slave via the network.

•

: Here, the number of the register is specified into which the

value from the master controller is to be transmitted. This register is located on
the slave controller with the slave number PASE #.

Example:
N-SEND REGISTER [to 3 from Reg=100 to Reg=200]

Following this instruction, the value contained in register 100 of the
master controller is entered into register 200 of the slave controller
with the network number 3.

N-GET REGISTER

By using the following instruction, the master controller can read out values from
registers of slave controllers:
N-GET REGISTER [from Reg, Reg here=]

•

: PASE # stands for the network number of the slave controller which
is to be addressed via the network.

•

: Here, the number of the register is specified from which the
value is to be transmitted to the master controller. This register is located on the
slave controller.

•

: Here, the number of the master controller register is
specified into which the value from the slave controller is to be transmitted.

Example:
N-GET REGISTER [from 4 Reg=150, Reg here=102]

By this instruction, the value contained in register 150 of the slave
controller with the network number 4 is copied into register 102 of the
master controller.

7.3.3

Access to slave inputs, slave outputs and
slave flags

In order to have access to inputs, outputs and flags of a slave overlaid registers must
be used. Access is carried out in 3 steps:

1. Transfer of input registers to a slave:
To do so, overlaying of slave inputs with slave registers is used.

2. Loading an overlaid input register into the master:
The overlaid input register is to be loaded into the master by using the N-GET
REGISTER instruction. This way, the slave inputs are mapped within the master.

3. Transfer of flag registers to the master:
Within the master the register, in which the slave inputs are mapped, in its turn is
overlaid with flags. Now, access to slave inputs is carried out by the SYMPAS
program with the help of flag instructions.

Stepper Motor Control

10.1

Overview and Technical Data

The stepper motor control of the NANO-B controller serves to control servo amplifiers
for stepper motors equipped with STEP and DIR interfaces, i.e. through stepping and
direction pulses.

Fig. 27: Stepper Motor with Motor Control and Power Amplifier

Acceleration and deceleration are automatically preset by the microprocessor of the
stepper motor control. For activation, entry of macro instructions, such as the
positioning instruction, is sufficient:
POS [Axis, set position, set speed]

All values can be read back at any time. The parameters, including set position and
set speed, can be changed at any time.

Connecting the
Stepper Motor

Jetter AG

For stepper motor control, 2 terminals for the DIR and STEP signal and one 0 V
terminal have been provided on the basic controller (X3). Please refer to chapter
2.2.8 "Stepper Motor Control", page 36.

PROCESS-PLC

10.2

Firmware of Stepper Motor Control

The firmware allows a stepper motor control to operate a stepper motor axis. Configuration for operation and different operating conditions is made using different parameters.
Positioning processes are controlled by the following instructions:

Positioning

POS
AXARR

+ Axis #:

AXARR position query / AXARR instruction

AXARR

- Axis #:

Continue to travel to old target position

There is an additional option of positioning an axis, that is, control of the stepper
motor through REGISTER_LOAD instructions. The positioning process is described
in the programming manual in more detail. Therefore, please refer to the
programming manual for additional information.

Note!
On the basic controller the axis number of the stepper motor axis is always 11.
All registers start with 111 if they are assigned to this axis. This axis is always
assigned to module number 1.
Generally, the following steps are required for programming a stepper motor axis:

1. Loading of Parameters
This has to be made at the beginning of the program with the help of the axis
registers 11105 through 11108.
Example:
TASK 0 -----------------------------------------------------THEN
REGISTER_LOAD [11105 with R100]

;Acceleration

REGISTER_LOAD [11106 with R101]

;Deceleration

REGISTER_LOAD [11108 with R103]

;Start/stop frequency

The positioning parameters are defined by the program sequence as follows:
REGISTER 100:

Value of acceleration ramp

Value of deceleration ramp

Value of start/stop frequency

In chapter 10.2.1 "Register Assignment", page 126, you will find a description of the
characteristics of the parameters.

124

10.2 Firmware of Stepper Motor Control

2. Machine Referencing
Before the first positioning process can be executed, machine referencing is
required. Referencing can be initiated by entering a value into command register
11101 of the corresponding axis.

3. Positioning
Following machine referencing the positioning processes can be carried out. This
can be carried out by using the following instruction:
POS [Axis, set position, set speed]

Example:

THEN
POS [Axis11, Pos10000, v2500)
WHEN
AXARR Axis11
THEN

In this example, positioning is carried out as follows:
•

The stepping rate is increased linearly to the steepness of the previously defined
acceleration ramp up to the speed of 2500 (= 2.5 kHz) which has been set through
the positioning instruction.

•

The rate will remain at 2.5 kHz until the positioning algorithm recognises that,
according to the previously defined steepness of the deceleration ramp, the
deceleration process has to be initiated.

•

Deceleration is calculated in such a way that the target position will be
approached linearly to the steepness of the previously defined deceleration ramp.

•

If the travel is too short, or the ramps are too flat and if the set maximum speed is
not reached, transition from acceleration to deceleration is made automatically at
the right time.

More of these functions, and many more possibilities are provided by the stepper
motor controller. For example, values and parameters can perpetually be changed
and adjusted during the positioning process. For this purpose, all internal values can
be accessed directly with the help of registers.

Value following reset: 0

Write

A new instruction is issued to the stepper motor
controller. The instruction remains readable in
register 11101.

Value range

23-bit-signed integer

The instruction register of the stepper motor controller makes use of the
following instructions:
0

AXARR with deceleration ramp:
This instruction causes the axis to be decelerated with a deceleration
ramp until the start/stop frequency is preset again.

Setting the status "Referencing Completed":
The actual position will be set to zero by this instruction. Once the function
"Stop at the reference point" (instruction 22 = Default) is activated, the set
position will be set to zero as well.

Clearing the status "Referencing Completed":
When the reference switch is operated next time, the actual position is set
to zero and the reference bit in register 11100 is set to "Reference OK".

Stop axis = "AXARR" instruction:
This instruction serves to stop an axis without deceleration ramp. This can
be done only at low speed without skipping steps.

Automatic machine referencing at the speed given in register 11103:
Start in positive direction giving heed to the reference switch. Once the
positive limit switch is operated during machine referencing, the axis
reverses the direction of motion and continues to travel in negative
direction until
– either the reference switch has been activated and the actual position
is set to zero,
– or the negative limit switch has been operated. This causes machine
referencing to be terminated. The set position is set to actual position,
and an error is reported to the status register 11100 through bit 12.

Jetter AG

NANO-B

10.2 Firmware of Stepper Motor Control

Automatic machine referencing at the speed given in register 11103:
Start in negative direction giving heed to the reference switch. Once the
negative limit switch is operated, the axis reverses the direction of motion
and continues to travel in positive direction until
• either the reference switch has been activated and the actual position
is set to zero,
• or the positive limit switch has been operated. This causes machine
referencing to be terminated. The set position is set to actual position,
and an error is reported to the status register 11100 through bit 12.

Automatic machine referencing at the speed given in register 11103:
Start in positive direction towards the positive limit switch ignoring the
reference switch; there, reverse the direction of motion, travel in negative
direction giving heed to the reference switch.
If the negative limit switch is operated, machine referencing is terminated
and an error is reported to the status register 11100.

Automatic machine referencing at the speed given in register 11103:
Start in negative direction towards the negative limit switch ignoring the
reference switch; there, reverse the direction of motion, travel in positive
direction giving heed to the reference switch.
If the positive limit switch is operated, machine referencing is terminated
and an error is reported to the status register.

No ramps:
Acceleration/deceleration ramps are disabled, i.e. the axis immediately
travels to the target position at the stepping rate specified in register
11103. Acceleration/deceleration ramps are not being used.

With ramps (default): Normal mode with acceleration/deceleration ramp.

Relative positioning ON:
Positioning relates to the last set position, but not to the reference position.

Absolute positioning ON (default):
Positioning relates to the reference position.

After AXARR instruction, continue to travel to former target position:
A positioning process, which has been interrupted by an AXARR
instruction (or instruction 0), is resumed and the axis travels to the initial
target position.

Stop at the reference position (default)

Do not stop at the reference position:
At the reference position, the actual position is set to zero, but not the set
position. Then, the axis resumes travelling.

on, the positioning process will refer to the new value. While doing so, the axis
does not stop.
Reversal of direction during a positioning process by means of register 11102 may
result in the axis to skip steps. Therefore, it is advisable to carry out reversal of
direction by means of ramp functions.

Sample Programs

Since there is no position feedback when positioning is carried out by means of
stepper motors, machine referencing is mandatory. The internally recorded actual
position is set to the present value, in case steps have been skipped during
positioning.
Machine referencing is required at least after the machinery is powered up, in order
to inform the control system of the actual axis position. There are two possibilities
to carry out machine referencing:
•

In the instruction register of the stepper motor control four different machine
referencing modes have been stored which can be started by a register
assignment.

•

Start of an automatic search for reference by means of a program which has been
written with SYMPAS programming instructions.

137

10 Stepper Motor Control

PROCESS-PLC

Important!
Before and during machine referencing the actual position, i.e. the value of
register 11109, is not yet defined. Operation of machinery in such an undefined
state may result in damages to machines. Therefore, the reference position must
be loaded and the actual position must be set to 0 before the machinery is
operated.

1. Possibility: Machine referencing with internal program
The reference switch is located somewhere within the positioning range between the
two limit switches. This reference switch is active over a greater travel than merely
one step of the stepper motor. In order to be able to determine a definite reference
position it is necessary to approach the reference switch always from the same side.
In the given case, this is to be done in positive direction. The starting point for
determining the direction is the negative limit switch.
The given machine referencing program first specifies the speed for machine
referencing by loading a value into the speed register. Then, automatic machine
referencing is started by means of one of the instructions of the instruction register.
First, the axis approaches the negative limit switch ignoring the reference switch,
reverses direction and travels in positive direction until it will reach the reference
switch. Here, the axis is stopped automatically, and set position and actual position
are set to zero.

Note!
Machine referencing is aborted if the reference switch is ignored and the positive
limit switch is reached by the axis.
On the display an error message is shown. In this case, the error must be fixed
before machine referencing can be repeated by pressing the "F12" key on the
display module.

2. Possibility:
In this case, the positive limit switch also acts as reference switch; here, the

principle, the reference switch can be approached only from one direction.
Thus, the reference signal is unambiguously defined.

The difference between alternative 1 and 2 is the assignment of register REG

With REGISTER_LOAD [11101 with 12] the automatic program 12 is started and
processed.
With REGISTER_LOAD [11101 with 4] the reference is cleared and, for a while,
nothing happens.
When the axis approaches the next reference switch, the new reference is set.
To do so, an additional program is required.

Sample Program for Real-Time Clock
The following sample program shows the present real-time clock data on the display.
The following approach is used to display minutes and seconds with a leading zero:

For right justified display of numbers it is possible to specify the
number of digits to be displayed by using register 2812.
If less digits are allowed than there are significant digits in the
number, then leading digits are suppressed.

The program uses this approach by adding the value 100 to the
number of seconds and minutes. Then, display of the leading " 1" will
be suppressed.

PROCESS PLC

Expansion Modules

13.1

Topology of the JETTER System Bus

The NANO-B control system can be expanded via digital and analog expansion
modules. The JETTER system bus port is located on the righthand side of the
basic controller. The internal system bus is a JETTER system bus. The expansion
modules are either centrally attached to the basic module, or located distributedly
at a distance of up to 30 meters from the basic module.

The basic module can be expanded to a maximum of:
•

136 digital inputs/outputs (including CPU I/O)

non-intelligent modules

•

64 analog inputs

non-intelligent modules

•

61 analog outputs

non-intelligent modules

•

16 hardware counters

non-intelligent modules

•

3 servo axes

intelligent modules

•

7 stepper motor axes

intelligent modules

•

12 PID controllers

intelligent modules

Note!
In order to ensure flawless functioning of the centralised or decentralised
arrangement, the following boundary conditions as regards configuration must be
met. Failure to meet these boundary conditions will result in malfunctions of
individual modules or a breakdown of the entire system configuration.
•
•
•

•

•
•

150

The NANO-B basic controller is designed to supply a maximum of 5 nonintelligent expansion modules.
The N-PS 1 module is designed to supply a maximum of 5 non-intelligent
expansion modules.
For each remote module set at least one N-PS 1 module is required. Even with
intelligent modules, the N-PS 1 modules must be located at the beginning of the
module set, so as to meet EMC requirements.
A maximum quantity of 15 non-intelligent expansion modules may be linked
together with the N-PS 1 modules being ignored (please refer to fig. 31:
"Centralised Arrangement on the JETTER System Bus", page 151, and fig. 32:
"Decentralised Arrangement on the JETTER System Bus", page 151).
Power supply of intelligent modules (CAN-DIMA, N-PID 1, N-SM1 D, N-SM 2, and
N-SV1) is made through an individual power supply unit (DC 24 V), and not
through a N-PS 1 module.
Intelligent modules are not designed to supply non-intelligent expansion modules
with voltage and current. Therefore, for a heterogeneous decentralised module
set with intelligent and non-intelligent expansion modules at least one N-PS 1
module is required.
One N-IO 16 module is designed to supply a maximum of 3 expansion modules.
Power supply of a FESTO CP module is always to be made through an individual
supply unit. Such a unit is for example a N-PS 1CP power supply unit or a FESTO
tee connector.

Jetter AG

NANO-B

13.1 Topology of the JETTER System Bus

13.1.1 Centralised Arrangement on the JETTER
System Bus
– In case of centralised arrangement, the expansion modules are directly attached
to the basic controller.
– A centralised arrangement may include up to 15 non-intelligent and 3 intelligent
expansion modules.
– Electrical and mechanical connection is realised via a SUB-D connector. These
connectors excel by their reliable mechanical and electrical connections, as well
as good EMI characteristics.

Fig. 31: Centralised Arrangement on the JETTER System Bus

13.1.2 Decentralised Arrangement on the
JETTER System Bus
– Use of the JETTER system bus as internal system bus allows that one or several
modules can remotely be located at a maximum distance of 30 meters from the
basic controller.
– A decentralised arrangement may include up to 15 expansion modules.
– Each decentralised module set must be connected to a N-PS 1 power supply unit.
One power supply unit N-PS 1 is designed for supplying 5 expansion modules.
– The modules are controlled by the application program as if they were located in
a centralised configuration.

13.1.3 Direct Connection of FESTO CP Modules
to the JETTER System Bus
FESTO CP modules can directly be connected to the Process PLC NANO. This
means that no special bus node for either of the systems, FESTO CP module, or
NANO controller, is required. Connection is carried out in the same way as for
decentralised arrangement of digital and analog modules. In addition to this, a N-PS
1CP power supply unit or a FESTO tee connector is required. Either of the devices
must be supplied with DC 24 V; please refer to chapter 14: "NANO Network Topology
and FESTO CP Modules", page 244.

PROCESS PLC

13.5.3 Description of Connections
•

On the expansion module, 24 terminals have been provided for the 8 inputs. For
the 8 outputs on the expansion module 16 terminals have been provided.

•

Each output can be switched individually and provides voltage values according
to table “Technical Data of the N-IO 16 Module”, page 169.

•

The left +24 Volt terminal is for supplying the internal logic and the top level of the
three-level terminal block. The right +24 Volt power supply terminal is for
supplying the output drivers.

•

All voltage signals relate to 0 V. Within the module, the 0 V signal is connected to
ground internally via the enclosure.

Note!
•

•

Please note that in registers 2015 and 2016 the N-IO 16 module appears as 1
module, though it performs the functions of 2 modules. The N-IO 16 module
is to be regarded as one combined N-PS 1, N-OD 8, and N-ID 8 module.
Therefore, three non-intelligent modules, such as N-ID 8, N-OD 8, can be
connected to the N-IO 16 module and be supplied with voltage.

Important!
•

For Inputs three-level terminal blocks are available.

•

Apply to the digital inputs of the N-IO 16 module a maximum voltage of 28.8
Volt. This will prevent the N-IO 16 module and the sensor, e.g. an inductive
limit switch, from being destroyed.

Following power-up, the N-IO 16 module is initialised by the NANO-CPU via JETTER
system bus. During this process, the various initialisation modes are displayed
through LEDs RUN, and ERR. In the normal course of initialisation, both LEDs flash
up for a short time only.

Important!
•

172

Do not apply a voltage to individual digital outputs.
If application of voltage cannot be avoided, for example, for testing inputs/
outputs with the N-IO 16 module wired in an electric cabinet, the voltage has
to be applied to the output drivers of the module before-hand.
The output drivers will be destroyed if you fail to apply voltage to them.

13.5 N-IO 16 Module - Digital Inputs and Outputs

Note!
For fault-free operation, both 24 V terminals have to be connected-up. The 3
LEDs have the following meaning:
•

LED POWER (green):

Voltage supply of the outputs is provided.

•

LED ERR (red):

One or more output driver chips signal

•

13.6.3 Description of Connections
On the expansion module, 4 channels with 8 terminals have been provided for the
inputs. Theses terminals are grouped in the following way:
•
•

four terminals for voltage measurement ± 10 V
four terminals for current measurement 0 through 20 mA

Each channel can be switched individually between voltage and current. All voltage
and current input signals relate to 0 V. Within the module, the 0 V signal is connected
to ground internally via the enclosure.

Important!
Apply to the analog inputs of the N-IA 4 module a maximum voltage of 12 V,
or current of 50 mA. This will prevent the N-IA 4 module and the sensor, e.g. a
temperature sensor, from being destroyed.

Important!
To avoid malfunctions the following must be ensured:
•
•
•

The shielding must be clamped under a strain relief with the greatest possible
surface area.
The connection between shielding and ground must be electrically conducting.
The distance "L" of unshielded conductor ends must not exceed 8 cm.

Addressing Analog Inputs
The address is made up of the module number and the number of the respective
input or output:

Note!
•

For determination of the module number, only the non-intelligent modules will
be counted. Intelligent modules, such as SV, SM, PID, etc., located among the
modules, are not being taken into consideration.

•

Module number 1 is always assigned to the basic control unit. Starting from
there, the module numbers are being counted left to right.

For communication with the CPU, 10 registers and the output byte have been
provided by the N-IA 4 module. The operating system version number of the module
can always be read from register 9. The other module registers are being defined by
the function of the module. The registers are addressed as follows:
Register number = 3000 + (module number - 2) * 10 + local register number

Example 2: Configuring and Evaluating Measurements
Task definitions with the first expansion module (module # 2):
1. A unipolar input voltage ranging from 0 to 10 V is to be measured using channel 1.
The output register is register 3000.
2. A bipolar input voltage ranging from -10 V to +10 V is to be measured using
channel 2. The output register is register 3001.
3. An input current ranging from 0 to 20 mA is to be measured using channel 3. The
output register is register 3002.
4. A unipolar input voltage ranging from 0 to 10 V is to be measured using channel 4.
The output register is register 3003.

Note!
To carry out measurements, the virtual outputs for the respective measuring
method (unipolar, bipolar, current) have to be set in the SYMPAS program.
The assignment can be seen from table “Input and Output Configuration of the NIA 4 Module”, page 183.

Comments on the approach for task # 1:
Through channel 1 a voltage ranging from 0 V to 10 V is to be measured. In the
SYMPAS program, the code of output xx01 becomes 201 and that of output xx05
becomes 205, since the first expansion module is assigned to module number 2. By
resetting inputs 201, and 205 to zero, a unipolar voltage measurement ranging from
0 V through 10 V with a value range from 0 ... 4095 is defined.
The other tasks are accomplished in the same way.

13.8 N-CNT 1 Module - Single and Dual-Channel Counter

13.8.3 Description of Connections
For input purposes the expansion module is provided with 2 counters equipped with
4 terminals and one SUB-D connector, 15 pins. It is possible to operate the singleand the dual-channel counter in parallel. Inputs are split into:
•
•
•

Terminals for 24 Volt single-channel counter signals
Terminals for 24 Volt dual-channel counter control signals
Transducers with 24 Volt signals or 5 Volt differential signals are connected to the
dual-channel counter input via the 15-pin SUB-D connector (RS422 port). Signals
of such transducers can be read in through adjustable digital filters.
As an alternative of using a dual-channel counter, an SSI absolute encoder can
be connected to the 15-pin SUB-D port.

•

Note!
•
•
•

All voltage input signals relate to 0 V. Within the module, the 0 V signal is
connected to ground internally via the enclosure.
Configuration of the module is carried out through the virtual outputs.
Do not use inverted (negative) signals for 24 Volt encoder inputs. Inverted
signals cannot be evaluated.

Important!
Make sure that to the counter inputs of the N-CNT 1 module a maximum voltage
of 24 V ± 10% is applied. This will prevent the N-CNT 1 module and the
incremental encoder from being destroyed.

Coding of Counter Registers

Module number 1 is always assigned to the basic control unit. Starting from there,
the module numbers are being counted left to right.
For communication with the CPU, 6 registers have been provided by the N-CNT 1
module. The operating system version number of the module can always be read
from register 9. The other module registers are being defined by the function of the
module. The registers are addressed as follows:
Register number = 3000 + (module number - 2) * 10 + local register number

Example: Determination of the register numbers
The number of the third expansion module’s register is determined as follows:
Module number = 4
Local register number = 9
Register number = 3029 + (4-2) * 10 +9 = 3003

13.8 N-CNT 1 Module - Single and Dual-Channel Counter

It is possible to operate the dual-channel counter both as single-channel and dualchannel counter. Selection between the counter types is made by setting the virtual
output xx02.

Whenever the dual-channel counter is operated as single-channel counter, the
counting direction is defined through the voltage applied to channel 2 (K2). In this
case, the following conditions apply:
•
•

for positive counting direction K2 = 0 (0 V);
for negative counting direction K2 = 1 (24 V).

Setting the Dual-Channel Counter to Zero
The dual-channel counter can be set to zero (initialisation) either through hardware
or through software.

•

For initialisation through hardware the input of terminal REF is to be set to zero
(REF = 0) Through its 15-pin SUB-D connector, the incremental encoder supplies
K0 = 1 (refer to fig. 50: "Pulse sequence of counting signals", page 206).
Initialisation via software is carried out by entering zero into register 3yy0.

When the dual-channel counter is set to zero, bit 3 of the status register 3yy3 is set.
The status register 3yy3 is scanned by the application program.

Strobe Function
The strobe function can only be used with the dual-channel counter. In order to
activate the strobe function, the virtual output zz01 of the dual-channel counter
must be set to zero.
The strobe function is used to store a count to register 3yy2 when a signal (rising
edge) is applied. The delay time of the display caused by the strobe function is less
than 1 ms.
Once the strobe signal is applied, bit 0 is set in the status register 3yy3 which is
scanned by the application program.
Multiple strobing is indicated by bit 4.
Bits 0 and 4 have to be reset by the application program.

*) It is possible to use the N-CNT 1 module in a servo control system as master
module for position modules of the NANO series, such as N-SV1, CAN-DIMA, NSM2, N-SM1D. In this role, the master module N-CNT 1 is not controlled. The axis
which is controlled by the positioning module is to follow the master with a fixed or
variable transmission ratio as to position. In this case, the position encoder,
mounted on the master axis, is connected to the N-CNT 1 module. This module
then transmits the read-out position and the interval between two scans to the
positioning module via JETTER system bus. Then, the position value can be read
out of register 1y195.
Register 3yy5 controls the transmission rate, thus, the bus load. In case register
3yy5 = 0, about every 300 µs position is sent after each scan cycle. In normal
operating mode, such a high transmission rate is not required for good servo control.
With insignificant bus load caused by other modules, such a high transmission rate
has no adverse effect.

The value of register 3yy6 is calculated using the pulse number. With the given
pulse number the word size of the absolute value is calculated by the following
formula:
Register 3yy6 = ( ( ( ( Pulse eNumber + 1 ) × 2 ) – 1 ) × 1024 ) + 39

In order to use register 3yy6, an SSI absolute encoder is read in via the inputs of the
dual-channel counter. The SSI cycle is read via PIN 8 and PIN 9 and the data bits via
PIN 4 and PIN 5 of the 15-pin SUB-D connector (see “ENC Inputs of the DualChannel Counter Module N-CNT 1” auf Seite 202).
The SSI cycle is output with a frequency of 100 kHz. This clock frequency permits
use of cables of up to 400 meters in length.
In order to activate the absolute encoder, it is required to switch over between the
dual-channel counter and the SSI absolute encoder through output xx04.
Absolute encoders output their position value either in Gray code or in binary code.
Evaluation can be switched over between Gray code and binary code using output
xx06.
In order to activate parity check for an SSI absolute encoder, output xx07 must be
set to 1. Once parity check is activated, you can toggle between even and odd parity
through output xx08.
If the N-CNT 1 module detects a parity error, the position value received is being
ignored and register 3yy7 is incremented.

Once a parity error is detected, register 3yy7 is incremented by 1. The count is set

Note!
If parity check is activated, calculations for the value of register 3yy6 have to be
carried out using a PPR count incremented by 1 as against the PPR count preset
by the encoder.
Example: If the encoder has got a resolution of 4096 increments per revolution
and 4096 revolutions, for calculations in register 3yy6 a PPR count of 24 has to
be used if a check of parity errors is not carried out. Once check of parity errors is
carried out, a PPR count of 25 has to be used for calculations.

13.9 Serial Interface Module N-SER 1

The interface between the module and the user's program is made up of seven

These registers are for configuring of the modules and for querying status
information.
The register address is made up of the module number and the respective register
number.

Coding of the registers: 3yyz

Note!
For determination of the module number, only the non-intelligent modules will be
counted. Intelligent modules, such as N-SV 1, N-SM 2, N-PID 1, etc., located
among the digital input and output modules, are not being taken into consideration.

Module number 1 is always assigned to the basic control unit. Starting from there,
the module numbers are being counted left to right.
For communication with the CPU, 7 registers have been provided by the N-SER 1
module. The operating system version number of the module can always be read
from register 9. The other module registers are being defined by the function of the
module. The registers are addressed as follows:
Register number = 3000 + (module number - 2) * 10 + local register number

Examples: Determination of the register numbers
The number of the first expansion module’s register is determined as follows:
Module number = 2
Local register number = 3 (sending buffer)
Register number = 3000 + (2-2) * 10 +3 = 3003

13.9.5 Hardware and Software Flow Control of
the N-SER 1 Module
The N-SER 1 module supports hardware and software flow control. These control
functions are activated or deactivated through virtual outputs.
The flow control is to prevent the loss of data due to receiving buffer overflow.
For the N-SER 1 module, there are two possibilities of flow control:
1. For hardware flow control two additional wires are used.
2. For software flow control special characters are used.
Both with hardware and software flow control, the receiving device informs the
sending device that is not ready to receive data any more.
The N-SER 1 module will send the respective stop signal by hardware or software,
when a receiving buffer occupancy of 60 characters has been reached. When an
occupancy of 56 characters has been reached, readiness to receive will then be
signaled.
Hardware Flow
Control

The hardware flow control will be activated by setting the virtual output yy01 and will
be deactivated by clearing output yy01.
The function will automatically be carried out by using the RTS and CTS signals.
The RTS line will be activated by the N-SER 1 module, in order to inform the sender
that no more data can be received.
During the sending process, the CTS line will be checked by the module. If the CTS
line is activated, the sending process will be interrupted, until this line is deactivated
again.

Software Flow
Control

The software flow control will be activated by setting the virtual output yy02 and will
be deactivated by clearing this output.
The function will automatically be carried out by using the characters XON (value
11H) and XOFF (value 013H).
If no more data can be received by the N-SER 1 module, the XOFF character will
be sent in order to inform the sender. If data can be received again, XON will be
sent.
During the sending process, it will be checked by the module, whether the receiver
is sending an XOFF. If this is the case, the sending process will be interrupted, until
an XON has been received.

Note!
The characters XON and XOFF must not be contained in the user data! This may
result in a shutdown of the plant.

13 Expansion Modules

Interface with
the Application
Program

PROCESS PLC

The interface between the module and the user's program is made up of three
registers.
These registers are for configuring of the modules and for querying status
information.
The register address is made up of the module number and the respective register
number.

Coding of the registers: 3yyz

Note!
For determination of the module number, only the non-intelligent modules will be
counted. Intelligent modules, such as N-SV 1, N-SM1D, N-PID 1, etc., located
among the digital input and output modules, are not being taken into
consideration.

Module number 1 is always assigned to the basic control unit. Starting from there,
the module numbers are being counted left to right.
For communication with the CPU, three registers have been provided by the N-PRN
1 module. The operating system version number of the module can always be read
from register 9. The other module registers are being defined by the function of the
module. The registers are addressed as follows:
Register number = 3000 + (module number - 2) * 10 + local register number

Examples: Determination of the register numbers
The number of the first expansion module’s register is determined as follows:
Module number = 2
Local register number = 3 (control register)
Register number = 3000 + (2-2) * 10 +3 = 3003

NANO Network Topology and
FESTO CP Modules

The PROCESS-PLC NANO-B is internally operated with the JETTER system bus.
The JETTER system bus allows remote arrangement of NANO expansion modules
at a distance of up to 30 meters. Instead of expansion modules, FESTO CP modules
can be connected. For more information refer to chapter 13.1: "Topology of the
JETTER System Bus", page 150.

14.2 Networking of NANO and FESTO CP Modules

Important!
•
•

FESTO tee connectors and the cables between tee connector and FESTO CP
modules have to be purchased from FESTO.
As interconnecting cable between the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B and the
FESTO tee connector a system bus cable for NANO expansion module is to
be used. For details see specification “System Bus Cable for NANO Expansion
Modules” on page 30.

14.2

Networking of NANO and FESTO CP
Modules

FESTO CP modules can directly be connected to the PROCESS-PLC NANO-B. This
means that no special bus node for either of the systems, FESTO CP module, or
NANO-B controller, is required. Connection is carried out in the same way as for
decentralised arrangement of digital and analog modules on the JETTER system
bus. For more information refer to chapter 13.1.2: "Decentralised Arrangement on
the JETTER System Bus", page 151.
In addition to this, a N-PS 1CP power supply unit or a FESTO tee connector is required.
Either of the devices must be supplied with DC 24 V.

Note!
If possible, do not use tap lines for connecting FESTO CP valve terminals. By
doing so, you ensure correct operation of the system.

Arrangement without tap line:
•
•

the FESTO CP module must always be located at the end of the bus line;
a terminating resistor (120 Ω) must be attached to the FESTO CP module. The
NANO modules do not require terminating resistors, since these are included as
standard.

14 NANO Network Topology and FESTO CP Modules

PROCESS PLC

If, due to the arrangement of the machine and the control system, a configuration
with a tap line is required, the following constraints have to be observed:
•
•

the maximum length of all tap lines is 3 m;
the tap line to the FESTO CP modules must be as short as possible. In some
cases, it is necessary to place a FESTO tee connector with a higher degree of
protection (IP) next to the valve terminal;
it is not allowed to attach terminating resistors to FESTO CP modules;
a maximum of 2 valve terminals and 1 input module can be connected to 1
FESTO tee connector. Only FESTO CP modules occupy I/O numbers, but not the
FESTO tee connector.

•

If it is planned to use an arrangement of the PROCESS-PLC other than the one
described in chapter 13.1: "Topology of the JETTER System Bus", page 150,
please contact a representative of JETTER AG.
JETTER personnel will help you to avoid malfunctions of your system, as well
as time-consuming and cost-intensive troubleshooting.
The functioning of the respective arrangement and the system-compatible
termination have to be determined and tested in each particular case.

14.3

FESTO CP Modules Attached to a
NANO-B Controller

The NANO-B controller is a control system for digital and analog inputs and outputs.
The maximum degree of extension includes 136 digital inputs and outputs, though it
should be noted that the basic controller itself occupies 8 digital inputs and 8 digital
outputs. Therefore, the basic controller can be expanded by 120 digital inputs and
outputs; cf. chapter 13.1: "Topology of the JETTER System Bus", page 150.
Such an expansion can be carried out using either NANO expansion modules or
FESTO CP modules.

14.3 FESTO CP Modules Attached to a NANO-B Controller

Note!
•
•

•

If FESTO CP modules are attached, they always occupy 16 digital outputs or
16 digital inputs.
When a FESTO output module is attached, this means that, irrespectively of
the number of valves a FESTO CP valve terminal is equipped with, always 16
digital outputs are reserved and that in register 2013 two inserted I/O modules
are displayed. However, in the module array of register 2015 and 2016 code
number 32 appears only once; cf. chapter 5.3.4: "Special Registers", page 61.
By analogy, the FESTO input modules always occupy 16 input addresses,
though, in the module array of register 2015 and 2016 code number 33 appears
only once.
Please give heed to the fact that per module always 16 input and output
addresses have to be subtracted from the maximum number of possible digital
inputs and outputs.

Important!
•

A maximum of 7 FESTO CP modules can be connected to a NANO-B
controller.

Example: Addressing a NANO-B equipped with a FESTO CP valve
terminal
As expansion modules one digital output and input module each are attached to a
NANO-B controller. Last of all, a FESTO CP valve terminal with 8 valves is added.
This configuration results in the following addressing scheme:

NANO-B
Basic Unit
Module # 1
Input
101 .. 108
Output
101 .. 108

N-OD 8
Output Module

Important!
Address numbers are assigned to FESTO CP modules only after NANO
modules. For more information refer to chapter 14.5: "Example: Register
Assignment of FESTO CP Modules", page 255.

14.3.2 Comparing Set/Actual Configuration
If a FESTO CP module has to be replaced, the PROCESS-PLC must be switched off
beforehand. Restart the PROCESS PLC system to activate the new FESTO CP
module. During start-up the new module is detected and register 2021 is read in.
While doing so, the module type is not determined. This means that a FESTO CPV
valve terminal type 4 can be replaced with a FESTO CPV valve terminal type 8.
To ensure that the replacement is taken into account the user should write a
SYMPAS program comparing SET with ACTUAL configuration. Examples of such a
program are given in fig. 63 and fig. 64 .
The program extract given in fig. 63 shows that the set configuration of FESTO CP
modules ist stored to registers starting with register 100. The information contained
herein is required to compare set with actual configuration.

The program extract given in fig. 64 is an example of a comparison between set and
actual configuration. The set configuration is contained in the registers starting with
100 and the actual configuration in the registers starting with 2019. Comparison of
set configuration with actual configuration is used to determine that all FESTO CP
modules, for which the program was designed, have been detected during
initialisation of the PROCESS-PLC system.

By that means, the NANO-B automatically enters the check number of the FESTO
CP modules into the configuration table of register 2018; When doing so, the
controller starts with the least check number and enters the check numbers in
ascending order into the configuration table.
The check numbers of FESTO CP modules are to be entered into the

Error Handling

When dealing with errors, the following distinction has to be made:
•
•
•

Hardware errors
Application program errors
Operating system errors

15.1

Hardware Errors

If communication with a module connected to a NANO-B is not possible via JETTER
system bus, this error is signaled by the following messages:
•

•

the red LED-ERR on the NANO-B basic controller is lit when register 2008 is not
equal to zero.

If the computer is connected to the controller via a programming cable and if the
SYMPAS program is activated, in the first instance, it is to be checked whether in the
windows 4, 5, 8 or 9 registers with a time-out error message are displayed.

Fig. 67: Error Message: Time-out
If this is the case, the registers in the corresponding windows have to be deleted and
"0" has to be entered into register 2008.

Fig. 68: Resetting Register 2008

258

Jetter AG

NANO-B

15.2 Application Program Errors

To check whether the SYMPAS program will access to registers which cause errors,
the NANO-B must be powered on while the program is stopped. If register 2008
continues to display "0", the error is caused by the SYMPAS program. If a value other
than "0" is displayed, proceed according to Chapter 15.3 "OS Error Messages".

15.2
Syntax Checking

Application Program Errors

The programming interface SYMPAS includes a syntax checking function which
"intercepts" errors in the application program. When the program is uploaded
from the PC to the controller, syntax checking can either be enabled or disabled.
When working with SYMPAS, it is advisable to leave syntax checking enabled
since it spots fundamental errors.

If syntax checking is disabled, it can happen that faulty programs are uploaded to the
NANO-B controller. In this case, errors will be reported in register 2008.
Register 2001 signals whether the program is running properly or has been stopped.

Description

State:
Bit 0 = 0: Program has been stopped
Bit 0 = 1: Program is running
Bit 1 not assigned
Bit 2 = 0: Stepper motor disabled

Write

Bit 0 = 0: Stop program
Bit 0 = 1: Start program

The status register signals whether the program in the controller is currently running
or has been stopped. A program can be "stopped":
•
•
•

Jetter AG

if a syntax error in the application program has been spotted. The kind of error is
displayed in register 2008 and LED ERR is lit.
if the program has been stopped through the setup screen of SYMPAS by
pressing SHIFT F3, [F2, F4] or by writing into register 2001;
if the "STOP-RUN" switch is in "STOP" position when the controller is powered
up.

Only in case the autoflash function is activated, the SYMPAS program is
permanently stored to the flash memory of the CPU. If the autoflash function is
not activated, the JETTER test program, for example, is in the CPU memory
when the NANO-B is restarted.

Appendix B:Multitasking Operating
System
This chapter is directed at users who in greater detail want to know how the
multitasking operating system of the NANO-B basically works.

Basic Information on Multitasking
A lot of control systems are operated with a program which is cyclically processed.
Cyclic processing is required if processing of several parallel programs is not
feasible, thus multitasking cannot be used.
Every system, however small it may be, includes parallel functions and processes.
Even if only one automatic process is required, there are parallel functions or
operator guidance functions to be monitored.

Execution of Parallel Functions by Multitasking
The most practical approach to parallel processing is multitasking since it is the most
distinct and, in logical terms, the simplest way of implementing parallel processing
The reasons, why this kind of technology has not yet been applied in control systems
on a broad basis, are as follows:
•

PLC automation technology is to a high degree committed to its traditional
concept using PLC languages, such as ladder diagram, function plan and
statement list, and, as a result, to the cyclic processing of programs.

•

The well-known realtime-capable multitasking operating systems are very
complex, thus, requiring high-performance and, therefore, expensive hardware.
Also, specialists are needed for their handling.

•

The realtime capability of multitasking operating systems known from the office
realm is limited since numerous system functions, such as access to hard disks,
mouse handling etc., get access to program flow via interrupts.

•

Due to the complexity of the known multitasking operating systems, their
application in the area of small and mid-sized control system has not been
possible so far.

Reproduction of the Real Process Flow
Multitasking enables the program to be executed in a way that corresponds to the
real process flow.

PROCESS-PLC with Multitasking OS for Automation
Technology
To realise an OS with multitasking and a descriptive, process oriented execution for
the whole range of automation technology, JETTER AG has developed an easy-touse multitasking OS.
This OS was designed for meeting the demands of automation technology and
already enables multitasking to be implemented into the micro controller NANO-B.

Principle of Operation
First of all, distinction must be made between single-processor and multiprocessor
systems. For processing applications with great volumes of data, e.g. complex
graphics, multiprocessor systems are used in the EDP realm. In such systems, data
are processed in parallel by several processors.

Multitasking Using Single-Processor Systems
In most cases, parallel data processing using several processors is not being used,
neither in known multitasking operating systems of the office realm nor in most other
systems, Except for some few special applications, multiprocessor systems are not
universally applicable to the wide range of control engineering due to the required
hardware and software, thus, the high price. Therefore, in control systems a single
processor is used managing parallel processing of all programs. This also applies to
PROCESS-PLC systems.
There are several basic approaches to multitasking operating systems. One of them
is the time-sharing method.
Time-sharing runs several tasks by interleaving portions of processing time allotted
to each task. Each task is executed until its portion of time is elapsed. Then, control
of the system is passed to the next task. This process is continued until the initial task
gets its turn, then it starts once again.

Time-slice Multitasking
With PROCESS-PLC systems an optimized time-sharing multitasking is used. It is
possible to write up to 32 parallel programs, called tasks. In many cases, in particular
with micro controllers, a number of 3 to 10 task is practicable.

Note!
A program always starts with TASK 0. Thus, TASK 0 is the only task, the
existence of which is mandatory. The order, in which additional tasks are
programmed, is irrelevant. For reasons of clarity, a systematic and logical order
of tasks is advisable.

Note!
The duration of program execution primarily depends on the number of tasks
being used. The program length is only of secondary importance to the
processing time. Clever programming, thus, a limited number of tasks is crucial
to a fast processing of a program.

Permanently Defined and User-Defined Task Switching
Conditions
A task does not always make the most of the available processing time. If, for
example, the next instruction of a task is a delay which has not elapsed yet, an
immediate task switch takes place. Such a task switch cannot be controlled by the
program. After the following instructions a task switch is inevitably carried out:
•
•
•

DELAY process has not been completed yet
WHEN condition has not been fulfilled yet
USER_INPUT program waits until a value is entered by operator

Additionally, further task switching conditions can be defined in register 2004:
•
•
•

if the time specified in register 2005 has elapsed and a THEN instruction follows
if the task encounters a GOTO instruction
if the condition of an IF instruction has not been fulfilled.

In addition to the user task, three further functions are
carried out in the background:
•
•
•

Priorities
The priority of managing the user interface and the serial interface can be defined. In
default setting, both functions are carried out after all tasks have been processed.
The priority of these functions can be increased by means of flags 2056 and 2057.
In this case, interfaces are always "served" between two tasks.
In most cases, default setting is best since the highest priority usually is given to
automatic functions, and not to operating functions. Changing these flags is practical,
for example when switching the system from automatic mode to manual mode.
In register 2026the priority of a task is defined by the user.

Note!
By using the instruction DELAY 0 with parameter 0, task switching is induced. If,
during processing, a task encounters DELAY 0, it switches immediately to the
next task.

By using the instruction DELAY 0 low priority can be assigned to tasks or program
parts. A task which is controlling the displays needs not have, for example, the same
response time as a task for automatic mode. Insertion of one or more DELAY 0
instructions into user interface tasks results in time saving which is made available
to other task.

Sequential Control
System

Control system with sequential processing. Stepping is
initiated either by feedback signals from the machine
(process-dependent sequential control) or timecontrolled (time-dependent sequential control).

Axis

A principal direction along which a movement of the tool
or work piece occurs.

Actuator

A component which is connected to the output of a
controlled system and which converts an electrical
signal into mechanical motion.

Analog

A parameter, e.g. voltage, which is steplessly
adjustable. Contrasted with digital.

Statement List

Application program that lists control functions in the
form of statements.

Resolution

A resolution of 10 bit means that, for example,
a value range of 0-10 V is divided into 2 10 = 1024
increments.

Output Driver

Output drivers are semiconductor components, such as
transistors with the N-IO 16 module. To function
correctly, they have to be connected to voltage and
current.

Bit-coded

Bit-coded means that bits are evaluated individually.

Burst

1) Short period of intense activity on an otherwise quiet
data channel. 2) Short isolated sequence of transmitted
signals. 3) Fast transient interference.

Bus

A set of hardware lines (conductors) used for data
transfer among the components of a computer system.
Buses are characterised by the number of bits they can
transfer at a single time. Distinction is made between
serial bus systems (transmission of one bit at a time)
and parallel bus systems (simultaneous transmission of
a group of bits over separate wires).

CAN Bus

Controller Area Network Bus: Originally, this bus was
intended for use in automobiles due to its short cable
length of 30 m maximum, high bit rate of 1 Mbit/s and its
noise immunity.
The same demands apply to automation technology.
Therefore, this bus system (serial bus) is used in Jetter
control systems.

Digital

Presentation of a parameter, e.g. time, in the form of
characters or figures. This parameter in digital
representation can be changed in given steps only.
Contrasted with analog.

Download

In communications, to transfer a copy of a file from a
remote computer to the requesting computer, for
example, an OS from a PC to a PROCESS-PLC.

Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC)

Definition according to the EMC regulations:
EMC is the ability of a device to function in a satisfactory
way in electro-magnetic surroundings without causing
electromagnetic disturbances itself, which would be
unbearable for other devices in these surroundings.

Fieldbus Interface

Interface for connection of field devices, such as
FESTO valve terminals.

Field Level

Sensors and actuators located in the machinery.

Firmware

Software routines stored in read-only memory (ROM).
For example, startup routines and low-level I/O
instructions are stored in firmware. It falls between
software and hardware in terms of ease of modification.

First In First Out

A method of processing a queue, in which items are
removed in the same order in which they were added.
The first element in is the first out.

Flash Memory

A type of nonvolatile memory. Flash memory is similar
to EEPROM memory in function bit it must be erased in
blocks, whereas EEPROM can be erased one byte at a
time.

Framing Error

With serial data transmission, a so-called frame is
added to the data. This frame consists of one start bit
and one or several stop bits which define the beginning
and the end of a data byte. In a Jetter control, a framing
error indicates that the received character has not got a
valid stop bit.

Function Plan

A graphic map of the control functions. Each control job
(function) is provided with a corresponding symbol.

Accuracy

The deviation between the actual position and the
theoretical position

Floating Point Notation

The floating point notation is also called exponential
notation. It is a numeric format that can be used to
represent very large and very small numbers. Floating
point numbers are stored in two parts, a mantissa and
an exponent. For example, 456000 is expressed as
456E3.

Integer

Also called "integral number". A positive or negative
integral number, e.G. 37, -50 or 764.
In programming, "integer" stands for a data type
representing whole numbers. Calculations with integers
are considerably faster than calculations with floating
point numbers. Therefore, integers are commonly used
for counting and numbering procedures. Integers can
have a leading sign (positive or negative) or be
unsigned (positive). In addition to this, distinction is
made between long and short integers depending on
the number of bytes they occupy in the memory.
Short integers comprise a smaller range of numbers
(e.g. - 32,768 to +32,767) than long integers do (e.g. 2,147,483,648 to + 2,147,483,647).
On Jetter controllers integer values are defined for a
range of 24 bit = - 8 388 608 to + 8 388 607.

one output line.

Multitasking

A mode of operation offered by an operating system in
which a computer works on more than one task at a
time.

Monitor Mode

Using this function, registers, I/Os can be monitored
and altered during operation.

Parallel Processing

A method of processing that can run only on a computer
that contains two or more processors running
simultaneously. Parallel processing differs from
multitasking in the way a task is distributed over the
available processors. Example: The process of
controlling servo axes is entirely taken on by the SV
module. This way, the processing time of application
program is not affected.

Parity

The quality of sameness or equivalence. In the case of
computers parity usually refers to an error-checking
procedure. Depending on the definition, the number of
1s must always be the same - either even or odd - for
each group of bits transmitted without error.

Parity error

An error in parity indicates an error in transmitted data
or in data stored in memory. If a parity error occurs in
communications, all or part of a message (programs)
must be retransmitted.

Port Address

An address for a channel used to transmit data between
an input or output device and the processor. From the
CPU's point of view a port is one or more locations in
memory, to which it can send data or from which it can
receive data. Special hardware, such as an extension
board, saves data from the device to memory
addresses and sends data from these addresses to the
device. Some port are meant only for input or output
purposes.
