System

Introduction

The system chapter describes all steps necessary to initialize, parameterize, program and to Start-Up the system.

Implementation
Introduction
Since mid 2004 the Premium modules TSX IBY 100 and TSX IBX100 are being delivered with the new PHOENIX firmware V4.65 instead of V4.40, which was included before this date. The IBY100 / IBX100 modules with Phoenix INTERBUS firmware V4.65 cause problems when using the default settings of the CMD tool. Problem description: The import of the INTERBUS configuration into the PL7 / Unity project leads to a false configuration screen. Neither segment numbers, nor the device IDs, nor the length for I/O - / PCP-data are shown correctly. This document describes all the steps necessary to obtain the correct INTERBUS configuration screen. CMD versions V4.50 up to the current version (V4.62) may be used. The problem is only relevant in mode PL7 -> IBY / Unity -> IBY. The modes AUTO and CMD -> IBY are not affected.

New Features

The Phoenix firmware V4.65 offers some new features in comparison to the firmware V4.40 which has been used up until now. For this reason the structure of the INTERBUS configuration file *.SVC has been extended.

INTERBUS Firmware V4.65 Features (not yet released )

Please consider that, to date, all these features have not been implemented and released by Schneider Electric. The new features of the Phoenix INTERBUS firmware V4.65 are: Isolated disconnection in the case of a device error Un-interrupted activation (after elimination of the error) Transfer speed of 2 Mbit/s Single channel and optical diagnostics Automatic re-activation of regulation of optical paths (cannot be implemented for IBY100 / IBX 100 for technical reasons)

Schneider Electric is investigating which of these features may be supported.

PLC
The description that follows is only relevant for IBY100 / IBX100 mode: PL7 IBY respectively Unity IBY. In this mode the INTERBUS configuration data (created by means of CMD tool) has to be: exported from CMD (write ASCII-file => INTERBUS data (*.SVC)) imported to PL7 / UNITY. And what about the other modes?

Mode:

PL7 IBY, Unity IBY

Mode: AUTO Mode: CMD IBY

No configuration tool (CMD) is required.

The CMD tool is needed, but the INTERBUS configuration data is loaded directly into the flash of IBY100 / IBX100 module. There is no configuration screen available.

INTERBUS Configuration with CMD-Tool

Used CMD Version

This example was created using CMD version V4.62.

Create New CMD Project

Start the CMD-tool and create a CMD-project. You are shown the following screen:

Select Controller Board

Select Controller Type

Click on Controller Board to select the Controller type: In mode Offline in CMD you should be shown the following screen: (if not, please select the IBS USC/4 (4k) from the Available Types list)

In mode Online in CMD, the type of controller board, as well as the firmware version of the IBY100/IBX100 module, are detected automatically.

Firmware Version

In the edit box in the bottom right hand corner you can see the detected firmware version (V4.65) of the IBY100 / IBX100 module.

Set the Firmware Version

Select Firmware Version

Select the firmware version V4.40. In order to do this, uncheck the feature Automatic recognition and choose V4.40 in the firmware version edit box.

Create INTERBUS Configuration

Now you can create the INTERBUS configuration. This can be done: a) Offline Insert with ID-code or Insert with Device Description b) Online Controller Board -> Control -> Create Configuration You will be shown the following message from the CMD-tool, which you can ignore.

Configuration Frame -> Read In (from Memory)

Create an ASCII Configuration File


INTERBUS Configuration File
After finishing the parameterization you must export the INTERBUS configuration for the Premium.

Create INTERBUS Configuration

Select : Parameterization Memory -> Write ASCII File -> INTERBUS Data (*.SVC) as shown in the following example.

ASCII-File

After selecting the directory and file name you should be shown this message:

The CMD part of parameterization is finished now.

Import INTERBUS Configuration File to PL7 / UNITY

Configuration Screen

The following screen shows the import of an INTERBUS configuration into UNITY.

Perspectives

Support of New INTERBUS Features?

At present it is intended that the new features of the Phoenix INTERBUS firmware will be supported by the IBY100 / IBX100 modules; the import routine of the INTERBUS configurations file (*.SVC) in PL7 / Unity has to be adapted in accordance with the extended structure of the INTERBUS configuration data. In this case the setting of the firmware version must be V4.65 otherwise some of the new features are not available.
