	Is it possible to configure a LEGEND-MC to communicate with a 3rd party PLC over Ethernet TCP/IP with Modbus protocol? Posted Date: 10/26/2005 Answer: Yes. Attached are examples of an MP920 system communicating with a LEGEND-MC over ethernet, the same philosopy can be used with 3rd Party PLCs using Modbus over TCP/IP. The following is a description of the setup: HARDWARE SETUP: - The MP920 Rack system uses a 218 ethernet I/F module with an ethernet 10Base-T RJ45 Transceiver module (Model E-TBT-MC02 made by Transition networks). Essentially, the MP920 represents any third party PLC that can communicate Modbus over TCP/IP Ethernet. (Alternate Transceiver module available from Focus Networks (www.signamax.com) part number 065-2160, description 10BaseT RJ45 Ethernet Transceiver module for $33.00 - Call CSC in Chicago @ 800-446-2377.) - The 218If module also needs a +12VDC power supply, a wall mount supply is sufficient for testing. - The LEGEND-MC, MP920 System, and PC are all linked together via a DS108 Dual Speed 8-port hub made by Netgear. Category 5e ethernet patch cables by Belkin (Model: R7J304 4 pair 24 awg) were used for interconnection. - The system is physically connected and verified for connection at the HUB: Hub is connected to the building network via port#8 with the uplink engaged and receive LED blinking. PC connected @ port#1 shows 100M LED ON. LEGEND-MC connected at port#2 shows 10M LED ON. MP920 218 connected at port#3 shows 10M LED ON. For additional information on obtaining 3rd party hardware for this setup see this FAQ CONFIGURATION: - In this set-up, it is important to point out that the LEGEND-MC will be the master on the network, controlling data transfer to and from the MP920 or PLC over ethernet. The limitation in this configuration is 8 handles in each master LEGEND-MC and 8 handles in each MP920 (and a master typically requires two handles for a connection to a slave). - The PC is set up as IP address 192.168.1.21 - To set up the MP920, it will be necessary to first expand the MP920 program, "Cpu1.zip", into a temporary directory from Windows Explorer. Next, from MW, using the standard CP Ladder editor, create a new MP920 CPU. Lastly, from Windows Explorer copy the folders under the CPU1 temporary directory from above and paste them into the C:\YEToos\Cp717Usr\.... (make sure to select the proper order and controller folders). - The MP920 program attached is configured for station IP address 192.168.1.200 via software port (which is the standard port for Modbus), and utilizes a modbus function block in the low speed ladder L01. At this point, it should be possible to log into the MP920 controller via MW and find the L01 drawing with the function block as described (see attachment below). Note that this example shows its usage in the CP ladder editor. When online, do a full transfer from HD to CPU. Then, cycle power on the MP920 system. - To verify a connection, it is possible to use the "PING" utility from the MSDOS prompt (see below for example of a successful response to a PING command on the MP920 IP address). Note: if the MP920 is not responding, it may be necessary to cycle power on the system. - The SMC3010 is set up as IP address 192.168.1.29 and assigns the MP920 connection on handle E. This is defined in the attached setup program, "Tcpmtst1.smc". From YTERM, connect to the LEGEND-MC, download the program, and execute it with the XQ command. Pay special attention to the messages on the screen. TC1 will also indicate any problems. - To verify that the handle E connection has been made, an ethernet utility "Vcomm" is available from the YTerm installation CD. Launching this program will connect to the LEGEND-MC (use IP address 192.168.1.29 as indicated above). Verify the data is similar to that shown in the "Vcomm alpha" example window attached below. RUNNING THE PROGRAM: - The attached program, "Tcpmtst2.smc", is a test progam to write registers (6 registers starting from MW00000) over TCP Modbus from the LEGEND-MC to the MP920, and then read them back out again. After downloading and executing this program, verification of variables VAR10, 11, 12, 13, 14 should read the same as those set in VAR0,1,2,3,4. To monitor the data from the MP920, simply verify via the "Register List" in MW. Note that the first 4 are 16-bit words and should be monitored as MW registers and the last one is 32-bit long and should be monitored as an ML register.

	Is it possible to calculate the scan time of the program running in the SMC? Posted Date: 06/25/2013 Answer: Yes. There is a keyword in the system called "TIME" which counts the number of milliseconds (servo cycles) since the power was turned on or the system was reset. Examine the following program: #TEST START=0 #LOOP SB4 X=X5 Y=4/2 Z=XY CB4 SCAN=TIME-START START=TIME JP #LOOP The value of SCAN will be updated to reflect the number of milliseconds since teh user variable START was last assigned. TIME is in servo cycles, which by default is milliseconds. If the TM command is changed, TIME will change accordingly. If the TM parameter is reduced by half, the SCAN value will be twice as much. Below is an example that will take into account any TM value so SCAN will always be in milliseconds. #TEST START=0 #LOOP SB4 X=X5 Y=4/2 Z=XY CB4 SCAN=(TIME-START) * (_TM/1024) // MG SCAN START=TIME JP #LOOP If you print the value of SCAN from a small program loop, the process of displaying the message (MG SCAN) may take a considerable amount of the actual program loop, resulting in erroneously larger program scan times. Processing characters for the serial port is very show compared to program execution speed. It is recommended to use the LV command or type MG SCAN when the scan value is needed. If there are trip point commands in the program loop, they of course may add time to the loop based on the trip point delay period.

	Is it possible to automatically start an HMI recipe download from an SMC-3010 controller? Posted Date: 06/26/2013 Answer: Yes, by using the interlock mailbox. In many cases upon a machine power on sequence, it is desireable to automatically load up a series of custom startup parameters (or recipe of values) from an HMI interface into the controller for use in operation. In this case, a LegendMC (SMC-3010). Below we describe what is necessary to configure an EXOR HMI to transfer a recipe of values to the controller, at the controller command, by utilizing an "interlock mailbox" feature. Step 1: Definition of the mailbox In the EXOR Designer software (reference Designer User Manual), enable the mailbox to "read in cycles" from Project/Interlock Mailbox.. menu dropdown. Click on the "Reference.." button to access the base controller variable where the mailbox data will be exchanged. Select "0" for 16-bit word format (WORD [bin]) see screen shots below). In this case, we will define the controller variable "V050" as the start of the mailbox. According to EXOR designer manual, each word in the mailbox is defined to be 16 bits wide, since SMC3010 defines integers as 32 bit words, care must be taken when setting up the mailbox structure (see table 8-1 of Designer manual). In this case, the first word of the mailbox (cmd/status word) will be the first 16 bits of "V050", the second word of the mailbox (function/response code) will be the second most significant 16 bits of "V050", the third word of the mailbox (parameter 0) will be the first 16 bits of "V051", and so on. Twenty 16-bit words should be reserved for the mailbox, so the controller should pre-define and set asside 10 variables, such as "V050" thru "V059" or UniOP[0] thru UniOP[9]. NOTE: it is very important to pre-define these words in the controller or this will not work, see the SMC code example attached. V050 low 16 bits = Cmd/Status Word V050 high 16 bits = Function/Response Code Word V051 low 16 bits = Parameter 0 V051 high 16 bits = Parameter 1 ...etc... Step 2: Commanding Recipe Download from Controller Refer to 8-6 of Designer Manual. In the case of recipe download, the Cmd/Status word and Function/Response code will share the same controller variable (in our example "V050") because it is 32 bits wide. Step 2A: First the mailbox parameters should be set. Parameter 0 should be set to the page number that the recipe is located (for example page 7) and Parameter 1 will be set to the recipe set number (for example recipe set 4). EXAMPLE: In V051, enter 262151 in decimal or 40007 in hex (4 shifted 16 bits to the left, plus 7. In binary: 100 0000 0000 0000 0111) Step 2B: Next, the initiate the command. The Function Code should be set to "2" to "Start Recipe Download" and the CMD word should be set to "1" to indicate that there is a pending request. EXAMPLE: In V050, enter 131073 in decimal or 20001 in hex (2 shifted 16 bits to the left, plus 1. In binary: 10 0000 0000 0000 0001) Step 3: Confirm Recipe Download Completion After successful execution, the mailbox will return a "4" in the Cmd/Status word to indicate that the command has been completed, and a "0" in the Function/Response code to indicate that the transfer has been completed successfully. If an error occured, it will indicate in the Function/Response code area. A table of error codes can be viewed in Designer manual table 8-5. EXAMPLE: V050 will display 4 in decimal or 00004 in hex (4 shifted 16 bits to the left, plus 0. In binary: 100 0000 0000 0000 0000) Note: To set a hex value in the SMC-3010, you would use the "$" symbol. Example in step 2A: "V050=$40007" Note: In order to use the mailbox, the HMI must interpret the controller word as two 16 bit words in stead of one 32 bit integer word. To accomodate for this, a new driver has been created and has been attached below.
