IC695CMM002 and IC695CMM004

GFK-2461E Serial Communications Modules

January 2010

PACSystems RX3i Serial Communications modules expand the serial

communications capabilities of the RX3i system.

Serial Communications module IC695CMM002 provides two

independent, isolated serial ports. Serial Communications module

IC695CMM004, illustrated at right, provides four independent, isolated

serial ports. Up to six Serial Communications modules can be located

in the main PACSystems RX3i backplane.

Each port can be configured for MODBUS Master, MODBUS Slave,

CCM Slave, DNP3 Master, DNP3 Slave, or Serial I/O protocol. If any

port is configured for DNP3 Master or Slave, the other ports on the

module can only be configured for DNP3 Master or Slave.

For modules with firmware version 1.32 or later, half-duplex flow

control can be configured using Machine Edition Release 5.90, SP1,

SIM 6 or later. Otherwise, flow control defaults to full-duplex.

Additional module features include:

▪ Port-to-port isolation and port-to-backplane isolation

▪ RS-232, RS-485/422 communication, software-selected

▪ Hardware handshake: RTS/CTS, RFR/CTS for RS-232

▪ Selectable Baud Rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2K, 38.4K,

57.6K, 115.2K

▪ Module fault status reporting (Watchdog, Ram Fail, Flash Fail)

▪ Module identity and status reporting, including LED status

indicators

▪ Meets CE, UL/CUL 508 and 1604, and ATEX requirements

▪ Flash memory for future upgrades

These modules must be located in an RX3i Universal Backplane.

RX3i Serial Communications can be hot-inserted and removed

following the instructions in the PACSystems RX3i System Manual,

GFK-2314.

New for Release 1.32

Enhanced Configuration for Serial Port Flow Control

Releases 1.32 and later support half duplex flow control and full duplex control. Flow control is configurable with

Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer 5.9 SP1 with SIM 6. Full duplex flow control is the default flow control.

Releases 1.30 and earlier support full duplex flow control only.

RX3i Serial Communications Modules 3

GFK-2461E

Problems Resolved in Release 1.32

SPL - ASCTOVAL function would not accept negative sign

Releases 1.32 and later will allow leading negative sign in char arrays passed into ASCTOVAL

SPL - ASCTOVAL function would over write trailing byte in SRC array

ASCTOVAL writes null to source array byte that follows last converted byte by command

DNP3- Multiple Block Writes were not allowed in single request

In Release 1.30 (only) multiple Control Relay Output Block (CROB) and multiple Analog Output Block (AOB)

writes were not allowed in a single request. Release 1.32 allows multiple Control Relay Output Block (CROB) and

multiple Analog Output Block (AOB) writes.

SPL – ‘dot’ notation for integer values did not work

The 'dot' notation (variable subscript reference GFK-2460C pg 9-11) allows each byte in an integer to be

addressed. This ability was not working correctly from the command line interface (CLI) to the module.

A script, such as this following example, would correctly reference the byte.

DIM iMyInt INTEGER

iMyInt = 256

PRINT "iMyInt.1 = " & iMyInt.1

The command line would not.

1>RUN

iMyInt.1 = 1

1> print iMyInt.1

256

This value of 256 should be 1.

This functionality now behaves as expected from the command line interface.

SPL – Serial.clear command did not work

SPL SERIAL.clear commands did not work. This has been corrected in Firmware revision 1.32.

SPL displayed error -3 when PUTB buffer overflowed.

SPL displayed error -3 when PUTB buffer overflowed.

In firmware version 1.32 the correct error is displayed when PUTB buffer is overflowed as follows:

Reason: code[53] serial transmit buffer overflow

GFK-2461E

Restrictions and Open Issues in this Release

1. The module will reject a SPL program file containing a literal string of length greater than 127. The SPL

port will return a status in the status byte of 61.

2. The static file checker can miss paired NEXT and FOR statements. If a NEXT statement is missing from

the program, execution will continue without looping back to the FOR statement. Users should check

their FOR/NEXT statements before downloading. A missing NEXT statement can also be detected by

debugging using the CLI debug interface.

3. Each port can be configured for DNP3 Master or DNP3 Slave protocol. If any port is configured for DNP3

Master or Slave, the other ports on the module can only be configured for DNP3 Master or Slave.

4. These modules do not support GE special MODBUS commands for use with a Daniels Flow

Computer.

5. PLC Reference Address Parameters will only allow bit based memory values that are aligned to a byte

boundary.

For example, for a port using MODBUS Slave with coils mapped to %Q memory, the %Q memory

address must start on a byte boundary in %Q. (Target Address 1 can be mapped to %Q00001 or

%Q00009, but it can not be mapped to %Q00007.)

6. When a port is configured for CCM Slave protocol, and:

▪ a new configuration is stored to the PLC using Machine Edition, or

▪ the system is power-cycled, or

▪ the module is hot-inserted

If the first query received from the CCM Master is a Read Scratchpad request, the module will reject that

request. All subsequent Read Scratchpad requests will be successful unless one of the above conditions

occurs again.

7. When multiple group objects (i.e. %I and %AI memory) are read in a single request, the DNP3 port will

ignore all but the first object. Operations of multiple group objects should be split into multiple successive

exchanges (i.e. exchange 1 - %I, exchange 2 - %AI).

8. The DNP3 slave port has problems using the link layer to validate frame receipt. The DNP3 organization

encourages users not to do this.

Operating Notes

SPL

1. In the error message, brackets [ ] are printed only around the key failing token. When looking at the error

message the entire line should be interpreted.

Example:

--- Script file ---

i = 128 )

--- Error output---

Error [3184]: line 1

i = [128] )

2. An SPL wrong error is reported when a “(“ is in an IF statement. IF statements only support comparisons

of variables and constants. Using () to enclose operations (like arithmetic operations or comparisons) will

result in a syntax error. The module will report this error as an unknown identifier for the () symbols rather

than a syntax error.

3. If the SPL program writes to memory that is invalid in the PLC the write will fail and the SPL program will

halt.

Other

The maximum resolution for the MODBUS drop delay is 420μs, so the minimum time for a drop delay

is 420μs.

LEDs

The Module OK LED indicates the status of the module. Solid

green indicates that the module has been configured. The

Module OK LED is off, if the module is not receiving power from

the R3i backplane, or if a serious module fault exists.

At powerup, the Module OK LED flashes green/off while the

module is executing powerup diagnostics. It then flashes more

slowly as the module receives its configuration from the CPU.

If a problem occurs, the Module OK LED flashes amber, The

blink code (see below) indicates the cause of the error.

1 = watchdog expired

2 = RAM error

6 = Invalid CPU Master Interface version

7 = CPU heartbeat failure

8 = Failed to get semaphore

The Port Fault LED indicates the status of all ports. The Port

Fault LED is green when there are no faults present on any

enabled port. If this LED turns amber, there is a fault on at least

one port.

A port’s Status LED flashes green when there is activity on the

port.

Termination

By default, each port is set for no termination. Termination is needed if the module is the first or last device on an

RS-485 network, even if there is only one other device on the network. Termination can be provided using either

an external resistor as shown below or the port’s built-in 120-Ohm termination. If line termination other than 120

Ohms is required, an appropriate external resistor must be supplied.
