Warnhinweis

Gefahren beim Einsatz sogenannter SIMATIC-kompatibler Baugrup-

pen fremder Hersteller

"Den Hersteller eines Produktes (hier SIMATIC) trifft die Produktbeobach-

tungspflicht, d. h. er muB generell var Gefahren des Praduktes warnen. Diese
Produktbeobachtungspflicht wurde von der neueren Rechtssprechung auch auf
fremde Zubehorteile erstreckt. Der Hersteller hat danach die Verpflichtung, auch
solche Gefahren zu beobachten und zu erkennen, die aus der Verbindung des
Produktes mit Produkten anderer Hersteller entstehen.

Aus dlesem AniaB sehen wir uns verpflichtet, unsere Kunden, die SIMATIC-
Produkte einsetzen, zu warnen, sogenannte SIMATIC-kompatible Baugrup-
pen fremder Hersteller als Ersatz- oder Zusatzbaugruppen in das
Automatisierungssystem SIMATle einzusetzen.

Unsare Produkte werden einer anspruchsvollen Qualtiatssicherung unterworfen.

Uns ist nicht bekannt, ob die fremden Hersteller sogenannter SIMATIC-kompatibler
Baugruppen Oberhaupt oder eine annahernd gleichwertige QualiUitssicherung
durchfuhren. Diese sogenannten SIMATIC-kompatiblen Baugruppen kommen
nicht im Einvernehmen mit uns auf den Markt; as gibt keine Empfehlung der
Siemens AG, sogenannte SIMATIC-kompatible Baugruppen fremder Hersteller ein-
zusetzen. Die Werbung der fremden Hersteller sogenannter SIMArlC-kompatibler
Baugruppen erweckt irrtumlich den Eindruck, als sei der Inhalt der Werbung in
Fachzeitschriften, Katalogen oder Ausstellungen mit uns abgesprochen. Werden
sogenannte SIMATIC-kompatible Baugruppen fremder Hersteller mit unserem
SIMATIC-Automatisierungssystem verbunden, handelt as sich um einen empfeh-
lungswidrigen Gebrauch unseres Produkts. Wegen der universellen Vielfalt der
Einsatzmoglichkeiten unserer SIMATIC-Automatisierungssysteme und der hohen
Zahl der weltweit vermarkteten Produkte, konnen wir die konkrete Gefahrenanalyse
durch diese sogenannten SIMATIC-kompatiblen Baugruppen nicht konkret beschrei-
ben.

C79000-08563-(702-01 12/89 1
Es geht Dbar die tatsachlichen Moglichkeiten des Herstellers hinaus, aile diese
sogenannten SIMATIC-kompatiblen Baugruppen in ihrer Wirkung auf unser
SIMATIC-Produkt uberprOfen zu lassen. Treten Mangel bei der Verwendung von
sogenannten SIMATIC-kompatiblen Baugruppen in einem SIMATIC-Automatisie-
rungssystem auf, werden wir fOr solche Systeme jede Gewahrleistung ablehnen.

1m Fall von Produkthaftpflichtschaden verursacht durch den Einsatz von sage-

nannten SIMATIC-kompatiblen Baugruppen sind wir nicht haftbar, da wir die An-
wender rechtzeitig vor den potentiellen Gefahren der Benutzung sogenannter
SIMATIC-kompatibler Baugruppen gewarnt haben."

 Warning

Risks involved in the use of so-called SIMATIC-compatible modules of

non-Siemens manufacture

"The manufacturer of a product (SIMATle in this case) is under the general

obligation to give warning of possible risks attached to his product. This obligation
has been extended in recent court rulings to include parts supplied by other
vendors. Accordingly, the manufacturer is obliged to observe and recognize such
hazards as may arise when a product is ·combined with products of other
manufacture.

For this reason, we feel obliged to warn our customers who use SIMATIC
products not to Install so-called SIMATIC-compatible modules of other
manufacture In the form of replacement or add-on modules in SIMATIC
systems.

Our products undergo a strict quality assurance procedure. We have no knowledge

as to whether outside manufacturers of so-called SIMATIC-compatible modules
have any quality assurance at all or one that is nearly equivalent to ours. These so-
called SIMATIC- compatible modules are nat marketed in agreement with Siemens;
we have never recommended the use of so-called SIMATIC-compatible modules of
other manufacture. The advertising of these other manufacturers for so-called
SIMATIC-campatible modules wrongly creates the impression that the subject
advertised in periodicals, catalogues or at exhibitions had been agreed with us.
Where so-called SIMATIC-compatible modules of non-Siemens manufacture are
combined with our SIMATIC automation systems, we have a case of our product
being used contrary to recommendations. Because of the variety of applications of
our SIMATIC automation systems and the large number of these products marketed
worldwide, we cannot give a concrete description specifically analyzing the hazards
created by these so-called SIMATIC-compatible modules.

C79000·D8S63·C702· 0 7 11/89 3
It is beyond the manufacturer's capabilities to have all these so-called SIMATle-
compatible modules checked for their effect on our SIMATIC products. If the use of
so-called SIMATie-compatible modules leads to defects in a SIMATIC automation
system, no warranty for such systems will be given by Siemens.

In the event of product liability damages due to the use of so-called SIMATIC-
compatible modules, Siemens are not liable since we took timely action in warning
users of the potential hazards involved in so-called SIMATrC-compatible modules. II

5 Procedures for Maintenance and Repair

If measurement or testing work is to be carried out on an active unit, the rules
and regulations contained in the "VBG 4.0 Accident prevention regulations" of
the German employers liability assurance association (Berufsgenossen-
schaften) must be observed. Particular attention is drawn to paragraph 8
.. Permissible exceptions when working on live parts". Use only suitable
electrical tools.

A Warning
• Repatrs to an item of automation eqUipment may only be carried out by
Siemens service personnel or an authorized Siemens repair center. For
replacement purposes. use only parts or components that are contamed in the
spare parts list or listed in the Spare parts" section of this manuaJ.
II

Unauthorized opening of equipment and improper repairs can result in foss of life
or severe personal injury as well as substantiaJ property damage
• Before opening the equipment, always remove the power plug or open the
disconnecting switch.
• Only use the fuse types specified in the technical specifications or the
maintenance instructions of this manual.
• Do not·throw batteries into an open fire and do not carry out any sofdering work
on batteries (danger of explosion). Maximum ambient temperature 10Doe.
lithium batteries or batteries containing mercury should not be opened or
recharged. Make sure that the same type is used when replacing batteries.
• Batteries and accumulators must be disposed of as classified waste.
• The following points require attention when using monitors:
Improper handling, especially the readjustment of the high voltage or fitting of
another tube type can result in excessive X-ray radiation from the unit. The
license to operate such a modified unit automatically lapses and the unit must
not be operated at aU.

 Guidelines for Handling
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)

1 What Is ESC?
VSLI chips (MOS technology) are used in practically all SIMATle S5 and
TELEPERM M modules. These VLSI components are, by their nature, very
sensitive to overvoltages and thus to electrostatic discharge:
They are therefore defined as
"glectrostatically ~ensitive Qevices"
"ESD" is the abbreviation used internationally.
The following warning label on the cabinets. subracks and packing indicates
that electrostatically sensitive components have been used and that the
modules concerned are susceptible to touch:

ESDs can be destroyed by voltage and energy levels which are far below the
level perceptible to human beings. Such voltages already occur when a
component or a module is touched by a person who has not been
electrostatically discharged. Components which have been subjected to such
overvoltages cannot. in most cases. be immediately detected as faulty; the
fault occurs only after a long period in operation.

An electrostatic discharge
of 3500 V can be felt
of 4500 V can be heard
must take place at a minimum of 5000 V to be seen.
But just a fraction of this voltage can already damage or destroy an
electronic component.

() Siemens AG C79000·D8078-C339-01
 ESO GUidelines

The typical data of a component can suffer due to damage, overstressing or

weakening caused by electrostatic discharge; this can result in temporary
fault behavior, e.g. in the case of
temperature variations,
mechanical shocks.
vibrations,
change of load.

Only the consequent use of protective equipment and careful observance of

the precautions for handling such components can effectively prevent
functional disturbances and failures of ESD modules.

2 When is a Static Charge Formed?

One can never be sure that the human body or the material and tools which
one is using are not electrostatically charged.
Small charges of 100 V are very common; these can. however, very quickly
rise up to 35000 V.

Examples of static charge:

Walking on a carpet up to 35 000 V
Walking on a PVC flooring up to 12 000 V
Sitting on a cushioned chair up to 18 000 V
Plastic desoldering unit up to 8 000 V
Plastic coffee cup up to 5 000 V
Plastic bags up to 5 000 V
Books, etc. with a plastic binding up to 8 000 V

3 Important Protective Measures against Static Charge

• Most plastic materials are highly susceptible to static charge and must
therefore be kept as far away as possible from ESDs.
• Personnel who handre ESOs. the work table and the packing must all be
carefully grounded.

2 ~ Siemens AG C79000·08076·C339-01
 ESO Guidelines

4 Handling of ESD Modules

• One basic rule to be observed is that electronic modules should be
touched by hand only if this is necessary for any work to be done
on them. Do not touch the component pins or the conductors.
• Touch components only if
- the person is grounded at all times by means of a wrist strap
or
- the person is wearing special anti-static shoes or shoes with a
grounding strip.
• Before touching an electronic module. the person concerned must
ensure that (s)he is not carrying any static charge. The simplest
way is to touch a conductive. grounded item of equipment (e.g. a
blank metallic cabinet part, water pipe, etc.) before touching the
module.
• Modules should not be brought into contact with insulating
materials or materials which take up a static charge, e.g. plastic
foil. insulating table tops, synthetic clothing, etc.
• Modules should only be placed on conductive surfaces (table with
anti-static table top. conductive foam material, anti-static plastic
bag,. anti-static transport container).
• Modules should not be placed in the vicinity of monitors, TV sets
(minimum distance from screen > 10 cm).

The diagram on the next page shows the required protective measures
against electrostatic discharge.

5 Measurements and Modification to ESD Modules

• Measurements on modules may only be carried out under the following
conditions:
- the measuring equipment is grounded (e.g. via the PE conductor of
the power supply system) or .
- when electrically isolated measuring equipment is used, the probe
must be discharged (e.g. by touching the metallic casing of the
equipment) before beginning measurements.
• Only grou'nded soldering irons may be used.

6 Shipping of ESD Modules

Anti-static packing material must always be used for modules and
components, e.g. metalized plastic boxes, metal boxes, etc. for storing and
dispatch of modules and components.
If the container itself is not conductive, the modules must be wrapped in 'a
conductive material such as conductive foam, anti-static plastic bag,
aluminium foil or paper. Normal plastic bags or foils should not be used under
any circumstances.
For modules with built-in batteries ensure that the conductive packing does
not touch or short-circuit the battery connections; if necessary cover the
connections with insulating tape or material.

1 Things to Remember
This manual is intended to help you use the CP 525-2 and CP 524
communications processors as follows:

- for the "Computer link with RK 512" and

•
- for "Event output and logging with the PT88jP.r89 printer"

It is also intended to help you program the associated CP 525

user program with the progranming package COM 525.

The manual is divided into bID parts.

CP 525-2

The OF 525-2 is often abbreviated to OP 525.

CP 524

The OP 524 can be used just as the CP 525 when you wish to
communicate with only me partner.

The CP ~24 has only ODe serial device interface; it has DO PC

inmrface. Therefore only EPROM submodules that have been pro-
grammed on the PG can be used on the CP 524.

The serial device interface of the CP 524 corresponds to the

device interface IF 1 on the CP 525. An EPROM submodule pro-
grammed for IF 1 can be used both on the CP 525 and CP 524.

The CP 524 is not referred to in the parts of this manual;

however, almost all the information referring to IF 1 on the CP
525 also applies to the OP 524, except the CP 525 functions
available when you are using the PG online (e.g. start, stop,
transfer).

:3
D8576499-01

You should first develop your user program using a GP 525. You
can then connect the PG online and transfer your OP 525 user
program directly to a RAM submodule plugged into the CP 525. Then
you can carry out the start-up. Any corrections which may be
needed can then be carried out quickly. Once you have completed
these corrections, you can then program the EPROM for use with
the OP 524.

The OP 525 and CP 524 eaDDOI: be used in association with the

programmable controller S5-135U/S processor (CPU 921).

We wish you every success with your cODDIl\D1ications processor!

1 Technical Description
1.1 Application
The CQIW1Djcatiaas processor CP 525-2 can be used in the pro-
grammable controllers of ~e SIMATIC 5 U range (S5-115U, S5-135U,
85-150U and 85-155U). Bote dlat t:be CP 525-2 caDIIOt be used in
CmljaDctfJm widl die SS-13SD / S processor.

Using the communications processor CP 525-2 and the accompanying

programming package COM 525 you can accomplish the following:

- log pzocess st:at8s and :Essages originatiDg In die process

and/or
- liDk,oar pmgtillllBble contmller vith other progm1IID8ble
coat:I:Ollers or C'iiipIILers
•
By comecting the printer PT88/Pr89, you can log process states
and messages. The communications processor OP 525-2 initiates the
compilation of message texts and their output on the printer.

If the programmable controller (PC) is part of an automation

network, it can exchange data with one or more programmable
controllers or with a central process computer (computer link).
These tasks are also carried out independently by the CP 525-2.

The data exchange between the CP 525-2 and the central processor
(CPU) of the programmable controller is restricted to a minimum.
Only the variable data (current process values) is exchanged
between the CPU and the CP 525-2. The OP 525-2 has its own memory
for invariable data, which you program using the progranming
package COM 525.

The communications processor CP 525-2 can be plugged into the 85

programmable controllers of the U range. By using a programmer
(PG) and the programming package COM 525 J you can write your user
program for the OP 525-2 (e.g. message texts to be output on the
PT88/P'I'89 printer). Once written, this user program is stored
either in an EPROM submodule or
in a RAM submodule.

If you decide to store it in the RAM submodule cmmect the PG J

to device interface 2 of the OP 525-2 and transfer the user

program for the OP 525-2 to the RAM submodule. This submodule
must already be plugged into the memory submodule receptacle of
the CP 525-2.

2
 B8576537-04 Communications Processor CP 525-2

. You also program your STEP 5 user program for the CPU on the PG
using the STEP 5 BASIC PACKAGE.

The following devices can be connected directly to the CP 525-2:

- other programmable controllers

- central canputer
- the Pr88/Pl'89 printer

Note:

With the CP 524 and with special drivers you can cormect other
manufacturers' equipment to your programmable controller (e.g.
computers, printers or intelligent subsystems). For more
information about special drivers contact your nearest Siemens
•
branch or teclmical office.

 Conmnmications Pre,cessor CP 525-2

On its front panel, the c..ommunications processor has two 25-pin

female Gatmon cormectors with serial device interfaces for
connecting devices (printer PT88/PT89, other programmable con-
trollers or central computers). Instead of these devices, device
interface 2 (IF 2) can also be used to comect the progranuner
(PG).
Each of the device interfaces has an LED display.

Using the mode selector r:he following operating mcdes can be

selected:

- RUN
- SIDP = PGR (no jobs will be processed)

The function of the switch setting STOP is identical with that of

PGR.
•
The memory submodule for the user program is plugged into the
submodule receptacle. You can use either EPBOII snlmndu1.es or RAIl
sn1wnocJnles •

The connection to the 85 bus in the PC frame is established via

two 48-pin backplane connectors.

1.3 Serial Device Interfaces

Transmission via both device interfaces is serial and asynchro-
nous. Both loop current (TrY) and V. 24 signals ar~ available on
the two device interfaces.

The loop current (20 IDA) can be supplied by both the CP 525-2 and
from the partner device. Only the end which provides the current
is non-floating. 'Ibe CP supplies the current (20 mA) via jumpers
in the connector of the device interface. The 24 ·v required for
generating loop current is taken from the PC bus. With a closed
circuit, a current of 20 IDA must flow ( logical 1) if the line
current circuit is functioning correctly. When the current is
interrupted, logical 0 results.

5
B8576537-03 Communications Pr(cessor CP 525-2

The CClT!' reconnnendationt V. 24/V.28 apply for the V. 24 signals. A

logical zero is a voltag~ greater than +3 V; a logical 1 a volt-
age less than -3 V.
The foregoing technical details are irrelevant i f you use the
standard cable comectors to connect the PT88/pT89 printer J other
programmable controllers or certain computers. These cotmectors
are designed for V.24 or TTY signals (see Section 6).

When you write the user program with the COM 535 programming
package you decide the following:

- which partner is to be linked on which interface

- which settings are required for the transmission parameters
(transmission rate, frpme format)

For further details refer to the user's guide for the COM 525
progrannning package.

1.4 Dua1-port RAM, Interface to the CPO

The data exchange between the CP 525-2 and the CPU is restricted
to a minimum. Only the variable data (current process values) is
exchanged between the CPU and the CPt The CP 525-2 has its own
user memory for invariable data, e. g., message texts.

Data is exchanged between the CPU and the CP 525-2 using a connnon
memory area: the dIJal-porI: BAlI.

The dual-port RAM is on the CP 525-2 and is similar to a mailbox.

The CP 525-2 and CPU can leave messages (data, requests, etc.) for
each other in this mailbox.

6
 B8576537-03 Communications Processor CP 525-2

The CPU of the PC always acts as master for data exchange. The
CP 525-2 must "wait to be asked" by the CPU whether it wants to
transfer data. This polling function is carried out by standard
function blocks ("handling blocks") in the cpu. These are the
same handling blocks that are used by other communications.
processors.

The actual exchange of d2.ta between the CPU and CP 525-2 is also
managed by handling blocks. For more details, refer to the de-
II scription "Using the handling blocks" in this manual .

B8576537-03 Communications Processor CP 525-2

(1) Interprocessor CIJIIIIIImication (IPC) flag area:

IPC flags are defined as follows:

- IPC flags are part of the flag area of a CPU

or
- if they are specified as IPC output bytes (in terms of the
computer link) they are part of the dual-port RAM of the
CP 525-2. These IPC flags are also called coordination flags.
IPC flags are required because they are used as follows:

- for the cyclic exchange of data between epus in bytes

- for the data exchange between CPOs and the CP 525-2. The !PC
flag area in the dual-port RAM of the CP 525-2 is responsible
for this function.

The IPC flag area in the Cf 525-2 covers 256 !PC flag bytes
•
(2048 IPC flags).

With the computer link and RK 512 the IPC flags (coordination
flags) ~n be used to :inhibit aDd eDable 1:he data exchange bet-
ween 1:he CPU and CP. By inhibiting this exchange, you can prevent
data that has not yet been evaluated from being overwritten.
These IPC flags must be (lesignated as output flag bytes. For
further details see the user's guide for the computer link with
RK 512.

When you are using the p:.:inter PT88/PT89 J you do not need the IPC
flags.

The IPC flags are transferred once per STEP 5 program cycle
between the flag area of the CPU and the IPC flag area of the
CP 525-2 (similar to the process image for digita~. inputs and
outputs) .

To prevent multiple addressing when using several CPs or CPs and

a coordinator in one PC, you must divide the IPC flags into
groups (jumper settings see 3.4.2). This also applies i f there is
more than one CPU in a PC.

9
B8576537-04 Communications Processor OP 525-2

Note:

85-115U: the IPC flags must be listed in DBl as IPC output

flags.
SS-135U:
85-155U: the IPC flags must be entered as IPC output flags in
the DBl of each CPU. This is also the case when only
one CPU is being used along with a CP 525-2.
SS-lS0U: since the IPC flags are in a different address area,
the function block FB TRANSFER handles the cyclic
exchange of IPC flags between the CPU and CP. The IPC
flags must be specified when the block is called. The
block call must be at the end of the cycle of your STEP
S program.

(2) (3) Data ttaDsfer area (page)

Each device interface of the CP 525-2 has its own page assigned
to it. This means that each CP 525-2 used in a programmable
controller bas two pages.

The page is the area within the dual-port RAM in which data is
exchanged between the OP 525-2 and the CPU. This data may, e.g.,
be numerical values, to be logged on the printer. In addition I
the programmable controller can also transfer system mes-
sages to the OP 525-2 via the page.

(4)(5) Vector register - int:erface DIDIIber

The pages of all the CPs in a PC are in the same address area. To
ensure that only the required page is addressed when data are
exchanged, each page can only be addressed by its iDI:erface
DlDber. This is between 0 and 255 and is set on the CP by means
of jumpers.

Each page has a vector mgister allocated to it. The vector

registers of all the CPs have the same address.

10
B8576537-03 Communications Processor CP 525-2

If one of the two pages of a particular CP is to be addressed by

the CPU (e.g., to transfer data to the CP 525-2), the CPU writes
the interface number of t;he required page in all t he vector
registers available. Each CP compares the contents of the vector
register with its own two interface numbers. If the CP recognizes
that the munber matches an interface number, the required page is
enabled for data transfer. This function is carried out automat-
ically by handling blocks.

Since the interface numbers of the CP 525-2 can only be set in

pairs, you set the even interface number of IF 1 on the OP 525-2 .

•
The interface number of IF 2 is automatically set with the next
higher number (for more details see 3.4.1 Module address/inter-
face number).

1.5 Memory Submodules

The memory submodule of the CP 525-2 contains your CP 525 user

program. The user program includes the following:

- the specific programs for the device interfaces ("interpreters

and procedures"). These programs decide which function (compu-
ter link or printer) is carried out via which interface on the
CP
- the "actual" user program, i.e., the message texts for the
logging printer and/or the telegram parameters for the computer
link

The interpreters and procedures of the two interfaces require a

total of 8 Kwords (2 x 4 Kwords) in the memory submodule, regar-
dless of whether one or both interfaces are being used. The
CP 525-2 also stores a user data manager for each interface in
the memory submodule. This manager is dynamic, i. e., it grows
with the number of items of user data; per interface it can be a
maximum of 4 Kwords long.

Computer link with RK 512: per interface a maximum 1 Kword is re-

quired for the telegram parameters. A 16 Kword me:..o ory S11'ba>dule
is adequate for one computer link per CP 525-2 interface

Printer PT88jPr89: the available memory space depe:nds on the ca-

pacity of the memory sum.1Odule and on whether one or two inter-
faces are being used.

You can use either EPBOII sulwnodt.il..es or BAH SI1JnodW.es. When it is

plugged in, the RAM is battery-backed via the bacl'Plane bus of
the progranunable controller.

or the OP is disconnectel from the PC, the user program stored in
the RAM is lost!! r

The following memory submodules are available for the CP 525-2:

16 Kwords
32 Kwords

voltage is required for EPROHs of the
type 27256.

The order numbers for these submodules can be found in the order-
ing data in this manual.

If you wish to use both interfaces the following submodules can

be used:

1.6 Hardware Clock

In contrast to the CP 524 (software clock) the OP 525 has a
battery-backed hardware clock to display the date and time.

Leap years and changes of year are automatically taken into ac-
count by the software of the OP. Even if the CP 525 is switched
off (for up to 1 year) J with data supported only by the battery
back-up, changes of year and leap years are taken into account
when it is switched on again.

As soon as the CP 525-2 module has been plugged into the pro-
granmable controller, the clock starts numing with the settings:
January 1st, 0.00 hours. The year is set at random.

Further details about the hardware clock can be found in the

user's guide "Computer link with RK 512" or in the user's guide
"OP 525: signalling and listing with the PT88jPT89 printer"
(OP 525: reading and writing the date and time).

The hardware clock is accurate to +/- 50 ppm,

i.e. +/- 4.3 seconds per day.

2.3 Installation Guidelines

The cOlUlecting cable between the CP 525-2 and a partner device
must be a cable with a shield earthed at both ends and with metal
cmmectors. The standard cable cotmectors listed in the catalog
and in Section 6 meet these requirements.

The shield must make large area contact with the casing of the
metal connector (not on pin 7). If the partner device does not
have a metal cormector, the cable shield must make large area
contact with ground. If there is a large difference in grOWld
potential between the CP 525-2 and the partner device, a poten-
tial equalizing cable should be included. The cable should be
kept away from thyristor drives and pow-er cables carrying more
than 500 V. Further information about installation can be fOWld
in the "Installation guidelines for SDfATIC compact devic~" (see
ordering data).

3.4.1 Ifodule Address / Interface Number

As described in 1.4, the data is transferred via the page area of

the dual-port RAM. Each of the two device interfaces of the
CP 525-2 has its own page and is allocated its own interface
number (values from 0 to 255).
You specify the interface ntnnbers by setting the JOOdule address
of the CP 525-2 at JB 16. For example, if you select the module
address "0" (no jumpers inserted), then device interface 1 (IF
I

1) has the interface number "0". Device interface 2 (IF 2) is

•
automatically assigned the next higher number - interface number
"1".
IFl IF2

Page 1 Page 2

Module
address ---:> Interface number Interface number

e.g. "0" plus 1 = e.g. "1"

(only even numbers allowed)

IDIPOB.TARTI The jumper st!tting is binary. Only even tDDbers can

be selected for IF 1; IF 2 is then automatically assigned the
next higher odd number.

Rote: to ensure that the OPU addresses the CP correctly, you must
specify the same interface number (parameter SSNR) when assigning
parameters to the handling blocks as that set on the CP.

3.4.2 F.lJabliDg/DisabliDg!PC Flags

As described in 1.4 and in the user's guide "Computer link with

RK 512" you can enable or inhibit the data transfer between the
CPU and CP 525-2 by using the IPC flags. 'lhese IPC flags nntSt be
specified as output flags; in this situation the term "coordin-
ation flag" can be used instead of the tenn IPC flag.

The printer PT88jP1'89 does not require any IPC flc'.gs.

A total of 256 !PC flag bytes are available in the progranunable

•
controller (2048 !PC flags).

In multiprocessor operat:,'.on, IPC flags are a means of exchanging

data between the processors. If several CP 525-2s or several
CPUs (in the 85-135U) are installed in the programmable control-
ler the IPC flags must be divided up among the CPs and the coor-
dinator (see also instructions for the S5-135U). The !PC flags
must then be enabled on the modules by means of jumpers. On the
CP 525-2 there are eight jumpers available at jumper block 25.
With the appropriate jumper setting on this block, 32 contiguous
IPC flag bytes can be enabled or disabled.

Jumper inserted: the corresponding IPC flag bytes are enabled.

IlJIl1OB7ARTl: the corresponding IPC flag bytes must also be

entered in the DBls of the CPUs in the 85-135U and 115UI These
can then be addressed as flags in the STEP 5 program.

24
B8576537-03 Communications Pr(~essor CP 525-2

The following is an examv1e of the distribution of IPC flags

between two CP 525-2s and one coordinator with the 85-135U:

Coordinator first CPU second CPU first second

CP 525-2 CP 525-2

IPC IPC 32 •• 63
output output
flag flag

•
64 .. 255 bytes bytes

64 64
IPC IPC
output input
flag flag
byte byte
--
This example specifies that the first CPU "coordinates" the data
exchange with the first CP 525-2 via one (or several) bits of the
IPC flag bytes 8 and 12. Therefore the area 0 to 31 is enabled on
the first CP 525-2. (An area of 32 contiguous IPC flags must
always be enabled or disabled). Jumper 8-9 is inserted on jumper
block 25. In DBl of the iirst CPU, you must enter bytes 8 and 12
as IPC output flag bytes.

In the same way the second CPU coordinates the data exchange with
the second CP 525-2 via IPC flags 32, 35, 61. On the second
CP 525-2 the area 32 to 63 must therefore be enabled (jumper 7-10
inserted). You must then enter the bytes 32, 35 and 61 as IPC
output flags in DBl of the second CPU.

Since the IPC flag areajx!sts only once in each PC, only the IPC
flags 64 to 255 can be used for other purposes. In this example
we selected the IPC flag 64 for CPU - CPU communication (IPC
output flag in DBl of the first CPU - IPC input flag in DBl of
the second CPU). The area which contains byte 64 must therefore
also be enabled in the coordinator.

3.4.3 settings of the Device Interfaces

Each device interface has both 20 rnA current loop signals and
V.24 signals. According to CCrTT~ control signals are required
for V.24. The evaluation of the control signals dE.pends on the
device procedure installed. The jumpers are set at the factory so
that the signals are not evaluated by the procedure software.
This setting means that all devices intended for connection to
the CP 525-2 can be opere-ted.

The control signals are as follows:

Pin
6 Data set ready DSR
5 Clear to send OTS

On each device interface one of these signals can be used (as

required).

The factory setting of tlle jumpers is as follows:

The significance of the ~ umpers is as follows:

Device interface 1:

7-10 inserted and 8- 9 open = CTS (pin 5) selected
6-11 inserted = CTS/DSR input not used
6-11 open = the signal selected with jumpers 8-
9 and 7 -10 can be evaluated by the
software
5-12 open = the signal is inverted for

5-12 inserted = the signal is evaluated directly

Device interface 2:

2':'15 inserted = CTS/DSR input not used

4 Setting up the Hardware

When installing the Cf 525-2 module J follow the checklist below:

1. Check the jumper setting on the module according to 3. 4.

2. Insert a memory submodule in the CP subrnodule t:eceptacle.

3. Plug the CP 525-2 module into one of the permitted slots in

your device. The power supply must be switched off (see 2.1) .

•
4. Connect the partner device (e.g. PT88/PT89) and the CP 525-2
(see Section 6).

s. Check the position of the mode selector on the CP 525-2. It

must be switched to IIRUNII, to allow data exchange with the
partner device.

6. Make the correct settings at the partner device. These

settings can be found in the user's guide "Computer link with
RK 512" and "Printer PT88jPI'89" in the section describing
installation.

Make sure that the parameters required for transmission (data

rate, parity, stop bit, character length) are the same in both
the partner device an-i the CP 525-2.

7. Switch on the power supply to your CP. Both lED displays on

the front of the CP 5~5-2 light up. The operating system
carries out a self-test. The LED of the device interface being
started goes out i f n·.) error has been detected and you have
done one of the follo.~ing:

- plugged a progranmed EPROM into the CP (device driver and

transmission procedure must be programmed for each device
interface) .
-transferred your user program from the PO to the RAM plugged
into the CP 525-2 and have then carried out a cold restart.

1 Technical Description
1.1 Application
The CClJlJlmfcatioos processor CP 524 can be used in the program-
mable controllers of the SIMATIC 5 U range (85-115U, 85-135U,
S5-150U and 85 155U). Rote that it cannot: be used in conjunction
with 'the SS-135U / S processor.

Using the communications processor CP 524 and the accompanying

programming package COM 525 you can perform the following
functions:

- logging process statuses and messages £rom the process

and/or

•
- liDk your prograDIDable CODt:I:Oller to ot:her ptogrcmmable
CQIltrollers or c.omputers.

In association with the PT 88/89 printer

- process statuses and messages can be logged. The connnunications

processor CP 524 initiates the preparation of messages to be
output on the' printer.

If the progranunable controller (PC) is part of an automation

network, it can

- exchange data with one or more progranunable controllers or with

a superviso~ process computer (computer link). The CP 524
performs these tasks independently.

The data exchange between the· CP 524 and the central processor
(CPU) of the prog~anunable controller is restricted to a min~.
Only the variable data (current process values) are exchanged
between the CPU and the CP 524. The CP 524 has its own memory for
invariable data J which you program using the software package
COM 525.

B8576538/4 Communications Processor CP 524

Note:

With the CP 524 and with special drivers you can connect other
manufacturers' equipment to your programmable controller (e.g.
computers, printers or intelligent subsystems). For more
information about special drivers contact your nearest Siemens
branch or technical office.

*): when programming the 64 Kword memory submodule on the pro-

grammer ~ you need an adapter (MEP adapter), since a different
programming voltage is required for EPROMs of the type 27256.

The CP 524 has one device interface; the interface module is

plugged into the lower receptacle of the CP 524. You can select
a V.24, TTY or RS422-A/485 interface.

 Communications Processor CP 524

The mode selector is used to select the operating mode "RUN" or

"STOP".
More detailed information on the two LED displays can be found in
3.1 "Controls and displays".

The memory submodule containing your CP 524 user program is .

plugged into the upper receptacle of the OP 524. In the CP 524,
only EPBOII subDodules can be used. These must first be progranuned
with the progrannner using the programming package COM 525.

The connection to the S5 bus in the PC frame is established via

two 48-pin backplane connectors.

1.3 Serial Device Interface

The serial device interface is plugged into the CP 524 and se-
cured by means of two screws. The following interface modules are
available:

TlY modu1.e
V.24 JIDdule
BS422-A/485 mocIu1e

Connecting the CP 524 to the partner device is made easier by

using standard cable connectors (see also Section 6). If you do
not wish to use these standard cables) note the pin assignment of
the interface module in 1.3.1, 1.3.2 or 1.3.3.

When you write your OP 524 user program using the programming
package COM 525 on the progranuner, you set the transmission
parameters (transmission speed, frame format).

1.3.1 V.24 MOdule

The V. 24 interface module not only has lines for transmitting and
receiving but also has a series of control and signal lines in
accordance with the CCITl' recamnendations V. 24/V.28. For the
computer link with RK S12 and the PT 88/89 printer these control
signals are, however, not required and do not need to be
connected. I f you want to prepare your own cable cormectors ~
remember that unused inputs may have to be cormected to open
circuit potential on other devices. For more :Information refer to
the appropriate manuals and the COITI' reconnnendations V. 24 or
V.28.

The following diagram shows the basic interconnection of V.24

interfaces. In the example only the transmit and receive lines

1.3.2 TrY lbdu1e

The TTY module is equipped with a transmitter and receiver for

20 mA current loop signals. The current loop itself can be sup-
plied both by the CP 524 and the partner device. Only the end
which supplies the current is non-floating. The OP supplies the
current (20 mA) via jumpers in the front cormector. The 24 V
required for generating the current loop are taken from the PC
bus. With a closed circuit, a current of 20 mA must flow
(logical 1) if the line current circuit is functioning correctly.
When the current is interrupted logical O. results.

The position and significance of the jumpers on the TTY module

can be found in 3.4 in these instructions.

You set the parameters for the data transmission (data rate,
parity, stop bits) using the programming package COM 525 on the
PG. A maximum data rate of 9600 bps is possible with the TrY
module.

1.3.3 BS422-A/485 lfoc1al.e

The RS422-A/485 module can be used in the cmIplter l:iDk to

transfer data. in full or in half duplex. 'Ihe jumper settings can
be found in Section 3.4. In half duplex operation, you cannot use
the standard procedures 3964 and 3964R. In this case, you must
use special drivers.

The BS422-A/485 module can also be used with the 1DggiDg printer
P'l88jPl89 , there are, hO"tfever, no standard cable cormectors
available.

The RS422-A/485 module electrically isolates the interface

signals from the power supply. The electrical characteristics of
the BS422-A/485 module are as follows:

- in full duplex mode: according to the EIA standard BS422-A

(CCrrr recamnendation V.ll)
- in half duplex mode: according to the EIA standard RS485.

The difference between the two standards is that only one

transmitter may be available with the EIA standard RS422-A,
whereas several transmitters and receivers are permitted with the
EIA standard RS48S. In half duplex mode, the data exchange can
only take place via the two-wire line R.

Apart from the transmit and receive lines, the RS422-A/485 module
is equipped with a series of control and monitoring lines
according to the ccrrr recODII1endation X.24 and ISO 8481. For the
computer link and the logging printer PT88jPr89, these control
and monitoring signals are not required and do not need to be
connected.

10
 B8576538/6 Communications Processor CP 524

In the following examples, only transmit and receive lines are

cormected. The following applies to signals according to the EIA
standard RS422-A (V.11) and EIA standard RS485:

- logic 0 (ON) corresponds to VA > VB VA = greater than +3 V

- logic 1 (OFF) corresponds to VA < VB VB == smaller than -3 V.

1) If you operate the interface in full duplex, data can only be

received on this 2-wire line. In half duplex, data can be
received and transmitted.

12
B8576538/4 Communications Processor CP 524

2) This signal can be cormected either as an input or output (see

jumper settings).

3) This signal can only be used when signal B is used as an

output. In this case, the line X(A) is connected to the frame
and not to the interface.

The position and use of the jumpers on the RS422-A/485 module can
be fO\Dld in Section 3.4.

When progranming your CP 524 user program using the COM 525
programming package, you select the required transmission
parameters (transmission speed, character frame) .

1.4 Dual-port RAIl: Interface to the CPO

Data is exchanged between the CPU and the OP 524 via a conmon
memory area: the daa1-port BAlI. The dual-port RAM is on the CP
•
524 and is similar to a mailbox. The CP 524 and CPU can leave
messages (data, requests etc.) for each other in this mailbox.

The CPU of the PC always acts as master for data exchange. The
CP 524 must "wait to be asked" by the CPU whether it wants to
transfer data. 'Ibis polling function is carried out by standard
function blocks ("bancIJ fog blocb") in the CPU. These are the
same handling blocks that are used by other communications
processors.

13
B8576S38/4 Communications Processor CP 524

The actual exchange of data between the CPU and CP 524 is also
managed by handling blocks. For more details, refer to the de-
scription "Using the handling blocks" in this manual.

B8576538/4 Communications Processor CP 524

(1) InteEprocessor COIIIIlUIlication (IPC) flag area

IPC flags are defined as one of the following:

- IPC flags may be part of the flag area of a CPU.

- If they are specified as IPC output bytes (in terms of the
computer link), they are part of the dual-port RAM of the
CP 524. These IPC flags are also called coordination flags.

IPC flags are needed because of the following:

- IPC flags are used for the cyclic exchange of data between
epus in bytes.
- They can also be used for the data exchange between CPUs and
the CP 524. The IPC flag area in the dual-port RAM of the
CP 524 is responsible for this function.

The IPC flag area in the CP 524 covers 256 IPC flag bytes (2048
IPC flags).

With the computer link and RIC 512) the IPC flags (coordination
flags) can be used to iDbibit and enable the data exchange 00-
t:ween the CPO and CP. By inhibiting this exchange, you can
prevent data that has not yet been evaluated from being over-
written. These IPC flags must be designated as output flag bytes.
For further details, see the user's guide for the computer link
with RK 512.

The IPC flags are not used, i f you are working with the PT88/PT89
logging printer.

The IPC flags are transferred once per STEP 5 program cycle
between the flag area of the CPU and the IPC flag area of the
CP 524 (similar to the process image for digital inputs and
outputs) .

To prevent multiple addressing when you are using several CPs or

CPs and a coordinator in one PC, you must divide the IPC flags
into groups (jumper settings see 3.4.2). This also applies i f
there is more than one CPU in a PC.

16
B8576538/4 Communications Processor CP 524

Note:

SS-115U: the IPC flags ~t be listed in DBl as IPC output

flags.
S5-135U: the IPC flags must be entered as ~PC output flags in
the DB1 of each CPU. This also applies when only one
CPU is being used along with a CP 524.
85-150U: since the IPC flags are in a different address area,
the ftmction block FB TRANSFER handles the cyclic ex-
change of IPC flags between the CPU and CP. The IPC
flags must be specified when the block is called. The
block call must be at the end of the cycle of your STEP
5 program.
SS 155U: the IPC flags must be entered in DBl of the CPU as
output flags. This is also the case when only one CPU

•
and one CP 524 are being used.

(2) Data transfer area (page)

The device interface of the CP 524 has a page assigned to it. The
page 1s the area within the dual-port RAM in which the data are
exchanged between the CP 524 and cpu.

(3) Vector register - interface naober

The pages of all the CPs in a PC are in the same address area.
To ensure that only the required page is addressed when. data is
exchanged, each page can only be addressed by using its interface
1IUIIIber. This is ~etween 0 and 255 and is set on the CP by means
of jumpers.

The page has a 'Vector register allocated to it. The vector regis-
ters of all the CPs have the same address.

If the page of a particular OP is to be addressed by the CPU

(e. g., to transfer data to the CP 524) the CPU writes the
interface number of the required page in all the vector registers
available. Each CP compares the contents of the vector register

17
B8576538/4 Communications Processor CP 524

with its own interface number. If the CP recognizes that the

number which bas been entered matches its interface number the
required page is enabled for data transfer. This function is
carried out automatically by data handling blocks.

1.5 Memory Submodules

The memory submodule of the OP 524 contains your CP 524 user

p:rogram. which includes the following:

- the specific programs for the device interface ("interpreter

and procedure"). These programs determine which function
(computer link or printer) is perfo~ed.

- the "actual" user program, i.e., the messages for the printer
and/or telegram parameters for the computer link.

The interpreter and procedure require a total of 8 Kwords in the

memory module. The CP also sets up a manager for the user data in
the module. This: manager is dynamic, i.e. it grows with the num-

•
ber of user data. It can occupy a maximum of 4 Kwords •

For the computer link with RK 512 a maximum of 1 Kword is

reqUired.
To operate a computer link a 16 Kword EPROM module is required.

For the PT 88/PT 89, the required memory space depends on the
size of your user progam.

Only EP.ROH suhnodtJ1es can be used in the OP 524, since (in con-
trast to the CP 525) there is no interface to the programmer
required to load the software in the RAM.

The following memory submodules are available for the CP 524:

EPBlII suboodules

16 Kwords
32 Kwords
64 Kwords When programming this submodule on the
PG you must use an adapter (MEP adapt-
er), since a different programning
voltage is required for EPROMs of the
type 27256.

The order numbers for these submodules can be fmmd in the

ordering data section of this manual.

2.3 Insta11ation Guidelines

The connecting cable between the CP 524 and a partner device must
be a cable with a shield earthed at both ends and with metal
connectors. The standard cable connectors listed in the catalog
and in Section 6 meet these requirements.

The shield must make large area contact with the casing of the
metal connector (not on pin 7). If the partner device does not
have a metal connector, the cable shield must make large area
contact with ground. If there is a large difference in ground
potential between the CP 524 and the partner device, a potential
equalizing cable should be included. The cable should be kept
away from interfering a. c. power controller cables, thyristor
drives and power cables carrying more than 500 V.

Further information about installation can be found in the "In-

stallation guidelines for SIMATIC compact devices" (see ordering
data).

3.4 Jumper Settings

The jumpers on the :Interface modules (V.24, TTY and BS422/A-485)

and on the CP 524 are preset in the factory. You can use this
setting to operate the OP 524 and the interface modules imme-
diately (if only one cODlIlUllications processor is used in the PC).
The interface number is then o. All the IPC flags are enabled.

To change the interface number (module address) on the CP 524 or

enable/inhibit IPC flags J make the appropriate jumper settings.
For more information refer to 3.4.1 and 3.4.2.

3.4.1 Jb1a]e Adckess/fnt:erface lbaber

As described in 1.4 the data is transferred via the pages of the

dual-port RAK. The page is assigned an interface number ranging
from 0 to 255. With the CP 524, the interface number is identical
with the module address.

The module address (interface number) is set in binary on the OP

524 at jumper block JB53.

Bote: to ensure that the CPU addresses the CP correctly, you must
specify the same interface number (parameter SSNR) when assigning
parameters to the handling blocks that is set on the CP.

Jumpers 6-11 and 5-12 are inserted, the other jumpers remain
open.

As described in 1.4 and in the user's guide "Computer link with

RIC 512" you can enable or inhibit the data transfer between the
CPU and CP 524 by using the IPC flags. These IPC flags must be
designated as output flag bytes. In this situation, the term
"coordination flag" can also be used instead of IPC flag.

A total of 256 IPC flag bytes are available (2048 IPC flags).

No !PC flags are used with the PT 88/89 printer.

In multiprocessor operation, IPC flags allow the exchange of

data between the processors. If several CP 524s or several CPUs
(in the 85-135U) are installed in the programmable controller J
the IPC flags must be divided up among the CPs and the coor-
dinator (see also instructions for the 85-135U). The IPC flags
must then be enabled on the modules by means of jumpers. On the
OP 524 there are eight jumpers available at location JB52. By
appropriate jumper setting at this location, 32 contiguous IPC
flag bytes can be enabled or disabled.

The following example shows the distribution of IPC flags between

two OP 5248 and one ~()()rdinator with the S5-l35U:

Coordinator first CPU second CPU first second

CP 524 CP 524

DBl DBl O•. 31

IPC IPC 32 •• 63
output output
flag flag
64 .. 255 bytes bytes

64 64
IPC IPC
output input
flag flag
byte byte

This example specifies that the first CPU "coordinates" the data
exchange with the first CP 524 via one (or several) bits of the
IPC flag bytes 8 and 12. Therefore the area 0 to 31 is enabled on
the first CP 524. (An area of 32 contiguous IPC flags must always
be enabled or disabled!). Jumper 8-9 is :Inserted on JB 52. In DBl
of the first. CPU, you must enter bytes 8 and 12 as IPC output
flag bytes.

In the same way the second CPU coordinates the data exchange with
the second CP 524 via IPC flags 32, 35, 61. On the second CP 524,
area 32 to 63 must therefore be enabled (jumper 7-10 inserted).
You must then enter bytes 32, 3S and 61 as IPC output flags in
DBi of the second CPU.

Since the IPC flag area exists only once in each PC, only IPC
flags 64 to 255 can be used for other purposes. This example uses
IPC flag 64 for CPU - CPU camnunication (IPC output flag in DB1
of the first CPU - IPC input flag in DBl of the second CPU). '!he
area which contains byte 64 must therefore also be enabled in the
coordinator.

4 setting up the Hardware

When setting up the CP 524 module follow the checklist below:

1. Check the jumper setting on the module according to 3.4.

2. Insert a programmed EPROM submodule in the receptacle.

3. Insert an :Interface toodule in the receptacle. Check the jumper

sett1Jlg accord1Jlg to 3.4. The interface JOOdule must be secured
by the two screws.

4. Plug the OP 524 mdule into one of the permitted slots in your
device (see 2.1). The power supply must be switched off.

5. Connect the partner device to the CP 524 (see Section 6).

6. Check the position of the mode selector on the CP 524. It must

be switched to "RUN", to data exchange with the partner de-
vice.
7. Hake the correct settings at the partner device. These
sett1Jlgs can be found in the user's guide "Computer link with
1UC 512" and "Event output and logging with the PT 88/PT 89
printer" in the sections describing installation. Make sure
that the parameters required for transmission (data rate,
parity, stop bit, character length) are the same in both the
partner device and the CP 524.

8. Switch on the power supply to your PC. Both LED displays on

the front of the CP 524 light up. 'Ibe operating system carries
ou.t a self-test. The LEDs go out i f no error has been detected
and if the device driver and transmission procedure for the
serial device interface are present in the EPROM.

In automation engineering dam must often be exchanged

- bet:weell pmgramable cont:r:ollers

or
- bet1leell a p:r:ogxaDllBble coutroller and a central process can-
pater

The data exchange can be implemented using the communications

processor CP 525 with its interpreter RK 512 and the procedures
3964 or 3964R.
This means that you can link the following programmable control-
lers:

- the programmable controllers of the SIMATIC S5 U range (115U,

135U, 150U, 155U) with each other
- the programmable controllers 85-1108, S5-l3OW, SS-150A/K,
85-1508 (if they are equipped with an AS 512C module) with the
pes, 85-115U, 85-135U, 85-150U and 85 155U

B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The RK 512 interpreter uses the same message format as the

interface module AS 512C in SlMATIC 85.

The data is exchanged via a point-to-point link as shown in the

following diagram.

CPU CP 525 PC 1

CPU OP 525 PC 2

The exchange of data can be carried out in two ways as follows:

• Programmable controller PC 1 can 1:raDSBIit data on its own

"initiative" to programmable controller PC 2. In this case CPU
1 must call a "SKBD job" on its "own" CP 525 .

• PC 1 can fet:eh dab on its own "initiative" from PC 2. In this

case CPU 1 must call a "BElUI job" on its "own" CP 525.

In the same way, PC 2 can also transmit data to or fetch data

from PC 1.

Remember that per CP interface a maximum of 10 jobs (SF..RD and

n:rm jobs) can be processed "simultaneously". A new job can be
started only when one of the 10 jobs has been terminated with or
without errors.

Data b;mdJ iug blocks (BDBs) in the STEP 5 user program on the CPU
transfer the data from the CPU to the CP 525 and vice-versa. HDBs
also initiate the jobs to be executed - a SEND job (send data) or
a FETCH job (fetch data). The lIDB is assigned a job nnmber under
which the corresponding job is stored in the job block on the CP
525. All the jobs together are known as the job block.

3
B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The job block on the CP j25 contains all specifica.tions regarding

the destination or source of the data in the other PC.

The data handling block in the CPU contains all tl1e specifi-
cations regarding the source or destination of the data in its
own PC.

To make use of the computer link, you require two programs for
each programmable controller as follows:

- the STEP 5 user program in the CPU

including the HDBs with parameters assigned according to their
jobs

and

- the CP 525 user progr:am in the CP 525

including the jobs in the job block and the procedure and
interpreter
Interpreter: manages the data exchange
Procedure: implements the· transfer

The programming package aM S2S supports you when you are

generating the OP 525 user program.

First the HDB SF.RD DIBECT n (n = job nwnber) is cEllled in

the CPU of PC 1. This initiates the call-up of the data from the
data source in the ere of PC 1 by the interpreter of the CP
(PC 1). The SEND DIRECT requires the following parameters to be
specified:

- interface number of the CP 525 in PC 1

- the number of the corresponding SEND job on the CP 525 (PC 1)
- details of the data source (where the data to be sent is
stored in the CPU of PC 1)

The data transfer from the CPU to the CP 525 in PC 1 is handled

by the HDB SERD ALL.

The following parameters are assigned to the SEND job in the job
block on the OP 525 of PC 1:

- the number of the corresponding SEND DIRECT in the CPU

- details of the data de3tination: i.e.) where the data is to be
stored in the receiver- (PC 2)

This information is sent to the receiver PC 2 along with the

data.

No job block is necessary on the OP 525 in PC 2. In the CPU of PC

2, the handling block ItECKIVE ALL is called cyclically. This
handling block transfers the data received by the CP 525 to the
CPU. The RECEIVE ALL is assigned the interface number of the
CP 525 plugged into PC 2. (To set the interface number, see the
instructions for the CP 525 in this manual).

The HDB FETal DIRECT n (n = job number) is called in the CPU of

PC 1. It must have the following parameters specified:

- interface number of the CP 525 in PC 1

- number of the corresponding FETCH job on CP 525 (PC 1)
- information about the data destination (where the data fetched
from PC 2 is to be stored in the CPU of PC 1)

The FETCH job in the job block on the CP 525 of PC 1 contains

information about the location of the data to be fetched from the
CPU of PC 2. This information is sent to PC 2 in a request tele-
gram (1).

No job block is required on the OP 525 of PC 2. The handling

block smo ALL is called cyclically in the CPU of PC 2. This HDB
transfers the requested data from the CPU to the CP 525 of PC 2.
It is assigned the interface number of the CP 525 in PC 2.

Once the requested data (2) is received in the OP 525 of PC 1 it

is transferred to the CPU of PC 1. This is performed by the
handling block RECEl.VE ALL. RECEIVE ALL is only assigned the
interface number of this OP 525 and is called up cyclically in
the user program. (To set the interface number, see the instruc-
tions for the CP 525 in this manual).

B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

2 Programming the Functions

To use the computer link, you must install two programs as
follows:

- the STEP 5 user progr:8Ik for the CPU (with handling blocks)
- the CP 525 user program. for the CP 525

You generate the CP 525 user program using the progranming

package COM 525. A detailed description of the functions of
COM 525 can be found in the user's guide "Programming package
COM 525" in this manual.

The STEP 5 user program for the CPU contains the handling block
calls. More detailed information concerning the handling blocks
in conjunction with the computer link can be found in the descri-
ption "Using the handling blocks" in this manual.

The next pages provide an overview of the following:

- the parameters required during programming

- where these parameters are to be specified (STEP 5 or CPU 525
user program)
- the significance of the parameters in a wider context

In addition, Section 2.6 contains the job tables that list the
permissible combinations of parameters. Use these tables to check
whether the transfer you require can be implemented.
•

9
B8576539-03 Computer L~Jk with RK 512

When generating the user programs you should proceed as follows:

1. First ask the following questions:

- with which partners is data to be exchanged?

- which device interfaces are the partner devices to be connected
to?
- which data is to be exchanged?
- which jobs are required and which handling blocks are needed?

2. Generate the OP 525 user program as follows:

- assign parameters to the jobs (Section 2.2)

- assign parameters to the interpreter and procedure
(Section 2.3)
- load the job block, interpreter and procedure in the user
memory of the CP 525 (RAM or EPROM submodule).

2.1 User Memory or the CP 525

You insert either a RAM or an EPROM submodule (see ordering data)

in the memory submodule receptacle of the GP 525. The user memory
of the CP 525 is divided into two areas:

- one area for the interpreter and procedures of the two device
interfaces
- one area for the "actual" user data and their manager

2.1.1 JfemDEy BeqaireJlMmtS of the Job Block

If you operate the computer link on a device interface of the CP J

the required job block occupies 1 K1Joni in the memory module,.
regardless of how many jobs have been programmed. If the CP is
used only for the computer link, a 16 Kword memory submodule is
adequate.

12
B8576539-06 Computer Link with RK 512

2 .2 Assigning Parameters to the Job Block for the

CP 525

Using the software package COM 525 you must assign parameters to
a job block if your CP 525 is to transmit data to a partner, or
fetch data from a partner on its own iDitfatf:ve.

A CP is active when it transmits on its own initiative. A CP is

passi'Ve when it cannot operate on its own initiative; i. e., data
can only be sent to it or fetched from it. If a CP is only
required to be passive then it needs only an interpreter and
procedure (no job block!) in the OP 525 user program.

It is assumed throughout this description that a Of is active and

its partner passive.

The jobs in the job block contain information about the data
destiDatial or dam som:ce in the paztDer. A maxiD11JD1 of 189 jobs
can be programned in an active CP 525.

When assigning parameters to the job you must specify the

following:

(1) 7be job DDDber - must match the number specified in the IIDB
(SEND DIRECT or FETCH DIRECT). The job number can have values
between 1 and 189.

(2) Job t:ype - SEND or FETCH

III
(3) tYPe of data to be traDsfeo:ed - a SEND job can send data to
the following types of destination:

data blocks
system data
absolute addresses
extended data blocks

13
 B8576539-06 Computer Link with RK 512

a FETCH job can fetch data from the following types of source:

data blocks
flag bytes
input bytes
output bytes
I/O bytes
timer locations
cOlUlter locations
system data
absolute addresses
extended data blocks
extended l/Os

(4) Destinatial addI:ess for SEND or soame address for FETCH -

limit values depend on the data type.

(5) CPO maher - i f a particular CPU is to be addressed by this

job t then the range of values is 1 to 4. No specification is
made i f the partner only has one CPU.

(6) DB "'""""r - assigned i f "data block" or "extended data block"

was specified as the type. With a SEND job this is the
destination data block, with a FETCH job it is the source
data block.

(7) Com:diDation flag (CF) - specified i f the source or

destination is a data block or an extended data. block

Notes on coordiDatial flags:

In conjunction with the computer link, the term "IPC flag" can be
replaced by "coordination flag".

Using coordination flags you can enable or inhibit the data ex-
change between the CPU and OP.

14
 Computer Li1k with RK 512

In the SEND or FETCH tel~gram the byte and bit number of the
coordination flag are transferred to the partner I which then
evaluates them. This prevents as yet unprocessed data from being
overwritten or read. The partner device then sends a reply
message with an error number to the active CP 525.

You can write the STEP 5 user program in the CPU of the active OP
so that it evaluates the received error number and repeats the
SEND or FETCH message later.

For more information on coordination flags refer to the section

in the instructions for the CP 525 ("Enabling/ disabl;i.ng !PC
flags"). The coordination flags must first be enabled by means of
jumpers on the module. In some pes the coordinatic n flags must be
defined as output IPC flags in DB 1.

CoordiDatiDn flags vit:h die link CP 525 --->.AS Sl2e

If the CP 525 sends a ~elegram that contains not only data but
also the byte and bit number of a coordination flag, the AS 5120
(as passive partner) sets the corresponding flag to "1" when this
message is received. The data is accepted or read.

If the OP 525 sends another telegram with the same byte and bit
number for a coordination flag to the AS 512C, the latter recog-
nizes that the flag is already set. The data transfer/reception
is disabled. The AS 5120 sends a reply telegram with an error
number to the active CP. In the active PC an error number is
III
indicated in the condition codeword. If the the HOB is called
again (SEND DIRECT or FETCH DIRECT) the telegram is sent again.

In the passive PC (with the AS 5120) the coordination flag must

be reset by the STEP 5 program after the first te1egram has been
processed or when new data is ready to be fetched. The exchange
of data is then once again enabled.

15
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The range of values of the coordination flags is c.s follows:

byte number o to 223

bit number o to 7 or
no specification

CoordiDatiDn flags with t:he link CP 525 ---> CP 5~5

If the CP receives a telE-gram with the byte and bit number of the
coordination flag, it ch(;cks whether the coordination flag with
this number is set. If it is, the CP rejects the exchange of data
with the active OP by means of a reply telegram with an error
number. The data that has been sent is not tranferred to the CPU
or is ignored by the CPU. If the coordination flag has already
been reset When the telegram is received the data exchange takes
place.

With the last data transfer between the CPU and CP 525 I the byte
number of the coordination flag is indicated in the condition
codeword of the SEND ALL or RECEIVE ALL. (The number of data
transfers depends on the number of items of data transferred and
the field length for the data transfer - see parameter (field
. length BLGR for the 'SYNCHRON' lIDB). This byte number can be
evaluated by the STEP 5 program and the appropriate coordination
flag is then set.

To allow the coordination flag to be evaluated by the passive CP,

the byte number must be in the range between 1 and 223.

16
 B8576539-04 Computer Link with RK 512

2.3 Assigning Parameters to the Interpreter and

Procedure

Each CP interface being used requires an interpreter and proce-

dure in the OP 525 user memory. For the computer link these are
as follows:

- interpreter IlK 512

- pmcedm:e 3964 or 3964R.

The interpreter requires no parameters. You must specify the

following for the procedure:

Data rate

19200 bps (*)

9600 bps
4800 bps
2400 bps
1200 bps
600 bps
300 bps
150 bps
110 bps

(*) 19200 bps are only allowed if you use the V. 24 interface with
the CP 525/CP 524 or the RS422-A/485 interface with the OP
&I
524. In this case you can only load and operate ODe interface
with the OF 525.

If both devices want to place a telegram on the transmission line

simultaneously, one device must back off. The CP with the higher
priority transmits its telegram first and the partner with lower
priority, transmits its telegram second .. You can select the
following:

bigher priority
10ftl: priDrlt:y

17
B8576539-03 Computer L:·rJ~ with RK 512

Ot:her parameters

The following parameters are fixed for the 3964 arld 3964R
procedures:

- character length in bits: 8

- parity: even
- number of stop bits in bits: 1

2.4 Parameters for the Hand1ing B1ocJa;

To start a SEND job, you must call the SEND Dl:RlW': HDB in the
J

STEP 5 user program. For a FETCH job you call the PEraI DIRECT
HDB.

The following parameters must be specified:

(1) JDterface mDber (SS!~)

Every OP (or IP) in the PC is allocated one or more interface

You enter the number of items of data to be transferred. Whether

this is specified in bytes or words depends on the data type (3);
e.g., flags are specified in bytes~ data blocks in words. The
range of values permissible also depends on the data type and is
listed in the job tables in Section 2.6.

(7) Other parameters are the condition codeword ANZV' and the
parameter assignment errCJr byte PAFE. These indicate whether a
data transfer was performed sucessfully or whether errors
occurred. For more details see the description "Using the han-

2.6 Job Tables

The following tables contain all die ttansferable dam types and
their parameter assignments in the ID>B and in the job block.
Specifications regarding the addresses depend on the PC and are
not always the same for different types. This is particularly
important with absolute addresses. Also refer to the
documentation for your specific PC.

Because of the wide variety of parameters, each table is spread

over two pages. Remember that the two tables are, in fact,
one.

As the source, all data types stored on the partner in a

destination DB or DX (exception AS/M) can be used.

The parameter QIAE (source length) represents a number of bytes, i f the

source area is organised in bytes; i f not, it represents a number
of words. If 0 is specified there will be no exchange of tele-
grams.

Be careful with odd numbers of bytes; since the destination area

is a DB or DX, only full words can be stored there. If the partner is a
OP 525, it writes Os to the right-hand data byte (DR) i f it
receives an odd number of bytes.

26
 Computer I ink with RK 512

Notes on the table

On the right-hand side there are three columns with specifica-
tions for the telegram header. These specifications need to be
taken into account only if you are using a device of a different
make as the partner) and you are implementing the connnunications
software yourself; or if you wish to monitor the data exchange on
the line with an interface test device (FOXPG). The specifica-
tions refer to the contel1ts of bytes 3 to 8 in th( header of the
SEND telegram.

2. Fetch data: IED2I

All data types can be specified as the source in the partner PC.
The destination in the HDB can only be a data b1Dclt or an
extended data block (exception RS/AS). The destination length
(ZIAE) can be specified only in words. If, for example, 5 input
bytes are to be fetched, "3" = three words = six bytes must be
specified in the IIDB. If 0 is specified there is no telegram
exchange.

Notes on the table

On the right-hand side there are three colUIlDls with specifica-
tions for the telegram header. These specifications need to be
taken into account only i f you are using a device of a different
make as the partner, and you are implementing the camnunications
software yourself; or if you wish to monitor the data exchange on
the line with an interface test device (FOXPG). The specifica-
tions refer to the contents of bytes 3 to 8 in the header of the
FETCH telegram.

3 settings and start-up

Chapter 3 contains information about the follOW'ing:

- settings on the CP 525

- settings on the partner
- start-up routines

3.1 settings on the CP 525

3.1.1 JaIIper SettiDgs

As described in the instructions for the OP 525 in this manual,

you must set jumpers on the CP 525 (to assign interface numbers
and enable the interprocessor cammmication (IPC) flags). 50
jumper settings are required for interpreters and procedures.

3.1.2 SettiDg mteJ:pJ:et:ers and PJ:ocedm:es

Ro settings are required on the interpreter RIC 512; it is simply

loaded in the OP 525.

You set the dat:a mt:e. transwdssion fm::.at: and prfori:ty for the
procedure when progr8Jlllling the CP 525 user program with COM 525.
The permissible values can be found in Section 2.3.

3.2 settings on the Partner

If the partner is also a OP 525 the settings are as described fn
Section 3.1.

38
 B8576S39-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

If your data exchange is performed with an AS 5120 interface

module, you must set the required priority and data rate (see
instructions AS 512C).

If 'the partner is a PROMEA or a DUST 3964 the settings can also

be found in the corresponding instructions.

3.3 start-up Routine

3.3.1 Boatfae l'ono.fDg :ro.er-up

After you switch on the power supply the two IEDs on the
front panel of the OP 525 light up. The CP 525 now checks the
following:

- the RAM and EPROM are functional

- the interpreter and procedure are present and complete in the
memory submodule

Following the start-up phase which takes approximately two

seconds, the LEns of the loaded interfaces go off. I f the
selector is switched to STOPjPGR or a hardware error has been

III
recognized the LEns remafn lit.

Following the start-up phase, the CP 525 expects the SI'R(HUII job
from the CPU.

3.3.2 SIlUIKB Job fDa t:he CPO

ibe SIlIaIROlI job fa iDitfatecJ after die start-up p.ase

The SYNCHRON IIDB is required for handling the SEND, FETCH,
RECEIVE jobs so that the length of the fields for the data
transfer between the CPU and CP 525 is established. The SYNCHRON
IIDB is usually called in the STEP 5 user program in organization
blocks 0820, OB21 and OB22.

39
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

When the SYNCHRON job runs without errors, the OF is ready to

process jobs (SEND, FETCH, RECEIVE) from the CPU and from the
partner.

Possible reactions before SYNCHRON runs are as follows:

- the partner sends a telegram before the SYNCHRON job has run;
the CP sends a reply telegram containing the error number 2AH.
4FH is entered in the error message area of the SYSTAT.

Jobs sent from the CPU (except SYNCHRON) before SYNCHRON has
run are handled as follows:
- they are rejected with "not ready" (error message number 8lB in
the PAFE byte of the corresponding job).

A DeW SDDIROR job :Is recei..ed by a faDctioDal. interface:

(e.g., the reset switch on the CPU has been pressed)

If a pu:tDer: job is being processed it is be aborted with a

reply telegram containing the error number 2AH. The corresponding
error number in the error message area of the SYSTAT is 4FH.
Partner jobs are then ignored tmtU the CP 525 has gone through
its cold restart routine.

If a PC job is being processed, it is terminated with the error

number 7H in the condition codeword. The error number 16H is
entered in the error area of the SYSTAT.

If SYNCHRON runs without errors, the job statuses (and therefore

the condition codewords) of all jobs are cleared. The error
number 7H, is therefore no longer visible. The entries in SYSTAT
are retained.

If SYNCHRON runs with errors, all the PC jobs set to "running"

during the cold restart phase are also terminated with the error
number 7H. (16H is again entered in SYSTAT).

New PC jobs (except for SYNCHRON) are then blocked by the "not
ready" message (number 8lB in the PAFE byte of the corresponding
job).

40
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

Note:

Aborting a PC job by means of SYNCHRON can also cause a further

error status.

Reason: i f a job is stopped imnediately J this fact cannot be

signalled to the partner. The partner still expects follow-on
telegrams cormected with the current job. It therefore interprets
the first telegram following SYNGHRON as a follow-on telegram.
The partner, however J recognizes that it is not a follow-on
telegram associated with the current job and answers with a reply
telegram with the number 36H. This causes the first job following
the SYNCHRON to be aborted with the error number CH in the
condition codeword. The number 37H is entered in SYSTAT.

3.3.3 Jb1e selectDr 8ettiDgs IUII,lSmPIJm

The settings of the mode selector on the front panel of the

OP 525 are as follows:
o RIJR

The RIC 512 interpreter processes jobs arriving from the CPU and

•
from the partner (if a SYNGHRON job was performed without
errors).

The LEOs of the loaded interfaces on the front panel of the OP

525 are no longer lit.

o SiOP or 1Ql

These settings are identical. They are used to stop the transmis-
sion of data on the serial transmission line. Any jobs arriving
are rejected with an error message.

- PC jobs (SEND/FE'l'CH) are terminated with the error number CH in

the condition codeword. The error number 27H is written in
SYSTAT.
- Partner jobs are rejected with a reply telegram containing the
error number 2AH. The number 4EH is entered in SYSTAT.

If a job is currently being executed it will be completed, i. e. ,

without an error message f

Depending on the number of items of data to be transmitted, it

may take some time before the STOP/PGR state is reached. This
state is shown by the LEDs on the front panel.

The interpreter once again begins processing jobs. The lED on the
front panel goes off (only i f the interpreter and procedure are
loaded). The CP 525 does ~ go through a cold restart when the
mode selector position is changed.

If part or all of the interface has just been loaded or reloaded

(transfer from PG) the interface requires a cold restart. In this
case, switching the selector position from STOPjPGR to RUN brings
about a cold restart, or you can press the key "cold restart" on
the PG. The selector on the PC must be set to RUN.

3.3.4 i'raDsferriDg fDa the l'G

If the transfer of the interpreter or procedure or job block is

initiated at the PG ~ the software of the CP 525 goes to the wait
state. In the wait state the lED of the corresponding interface
is lit on the front panel.

The transfer is started only when the program to be transferred

is different from the program already loaded in the OP 525. For
this reason the PG first reads the program in the CP and compares
the two programs byte by byte. The position of the mode selector
is irrelevant for this transfer.

42
B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

Before the software of the CP 525 goes to the wait status, the
job currently being processed by the partner and CPU is completed
without an error message. Depending on the number of items of
data to be transmitted, it may therefore take some time before
the wait status is actually adopted.

During the wait status no jobs sent by the partner (partner

jobs) can be processed. The procedure does not react to charac-
ters arriving via the serial interface. During the wait status
the LEDs on the front panel are lit.

During the wait status the CP 525 also rejects any jobs from its
own CPU (PC jobs), instead "overload" is indicated. This is
recognized by the error number 91H in the PAFE byte of the job
affected. In rare cases, a PC job might be completed (terminated
with error) before the PAFE error message (number 6H in the
condition codeword and IlH in SYSTAT). In this case the PC was
tmable to recognize the overload early enough.

Following the tr~fer, the software remains in the wait status

until you. initiate a cold restart on the interface I either with
the "cold restart" key on the PG or by switching the mode selec-
J

tor on the CP from STOP/pGR to RUN.

Following the cold restart the LEDs on the front panel go off if
the transferred program is correct and complete. Following the
transfer, a SYNCHRON job is no longer required. III

4 Bow is Data Transferred?

The data transfer between the partners takes place on the

following three levels:

1. 'le1egraa level

The interpreters of the two CP S25s exchange data in the form of

fixed t:e1.ega:a• . The interpreter of the CP 525 (1) sends the
interpreter of the CP 525 (2) a command telegram. CP 525 (2)
answers with a reply telegram.

2. P.I:ocecJar.'e 1.evel

The telegrams are changed into a particular fOl:E.t and integrated

into the handshaking.

3. IIard8aI:e level.

The hardware level covers the physical cood:i.'tioDs of the data

transfer. The CP 525/CP 524 can operate either with T'1Y (current
loop 20 mA) or with a voltage level V.24. The front connectors
are designed for both types of signal. In addition, the RS422-
A/485 module can be used in the OP 524.

4.1 Telegram Leve1

The following sections provide detailed information about the

telegram level. The various telegrams are defined as follows:

CP 525 (1) sends a 0' nd te1egraa to OF 525 (2).

CP 525 (2) sends a :mply 1:elegraa to OP 525 (1).

Command telegrams are either SIll) 'te1egra_ "(send data)

or lE'.laI1:elegrallS (fetch data).

With SEND telegrams the passive partner sends a

:mply 1:elegraa withoul: dat:a,
With FETCH telegrams the passive partner sends a
J:ePly 1:elegraa with data.

If the volume of data exceeds 128 bytes then a follow-aa 'te1egraa

is sent.

time, except in the following situation:

- CP 525 (1) must DOt: send information data, when CP 525 (2) is

- CP 525 (1) must wait until the telegram is completed with

<DIE><:ETX> from OP 525 (2) and <DU> from CP 525 (1).

Under certain circumstances, (if both CPs wish to send), a SEND

telegram can be transferred by the partner before the reply
telegram; for example, if a SEND telegram from the partner has
been entered in the output buffer of CP 525 (1) before the reply
telegram.

5 Procedures

Section 5 contains information about the procedures 3964 and

3964R.

5.1 Procedure 3964

5.1.1 PJ:ocedare Data

The procedure 3964 controls the flow of data between your pro-
gr8DlD8ble controller and the partner, e.g., a central process
com-puter, another OP 525 or an AS 512C. In the CP 525, the
interpreter transfers the data to be sent into output: buffers for
the procedure. The procedure sends this data along with the
transmission protocol 3964 to the partner; if necessary repeats
the transmission, and signals non-recoverable errors to the in-
terpreter.

Data from the partner are stored in fDpat buffers. If the data is
received without errors, it is transferred to the interpreter for
further processing.

The 3964 procedure is an asynchronous, bit serial transfer proce-

dure. The transmission rate both sending and receiving must be
die ~ on the CP 525 and on the partner (asynchronous because
there are no timing circuits between the two devices).
III
Conttol aDd :lDfmmat:iJm cbu:acters are transmitted on the link.
To ensure that every character is recognized by the receiver and
to allow the transmission to be checked for errors, the charac-
ters are encapsulated by other bits.

ss
 B8576539-04 Computer Link with the RK 512

The order of the bits is as follows:

SA = start bit
1* == information bit no.
PA = parity bit
SO == stop bit

The control characters for the 3964 procedure are taken from the
DIN standard 66003 for the 7-bit code. However, the character
length used is I-bit (bit 7 = 0). There is no code prescribed for
the ·information characters (code transparency).

You can set the following procedure parameters when writing the
CP 525 user program with COM 525:

o Data 'l3t:e

The speed of the data transmission is specified in bps. You can

select the following values:

19200 bps *
9600 bps
4800 bps
2400 bps
1200 bps
600 bps
300 bps
150 bps
110 bps
(*) 19200 bps are only allowed i f you use the V. 24 interface with
the CP 525/CP 524 or the BS422-A/485 interface with the CP 524.
In this case you can only load and operate cue interface with the
CP 525 since the maximum sum of the data rates is also 19200 bps.

56
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

o PrlDrity

To resolve initialization conflicts) you can set the priority of

the CP 525. At the partner the opposite priority must be set. You
can choose between the following:

higher priority
. lower priority

The following are fixed for the 3964 procedure:

character length: 8 bits

number of stop bits: 1
parity bit, i. e., checking for even parity

5.1.2 ~t:I::i:Dg with t:he 3964 Pmc:edIIm

To establish the link J the 3964 procedure sends the control

character STX. If the partner replies within the time allowed of
550 IDS (i.e., no QVZ = timeout) the procedure starts the trans-
mission. If the partner answers with NAK, any other character
(except DIE) or i f there is a timeout, then the attempt to estab-
lish a link has failed. After a total of six unsuccessful 7
attempts, the procedure gives up, signals the interpreter that
there is an error establishing the link, and sends the character
NAK to the partner.

If the link is successfully established, the information data in

the current output buffer is sent to the partner at the selected
data rate. The partner monit~rs the time between the characters
as it receives them. 'Dle time between two characters must not
exceed the character delay time of 220 ms (ZVZ = character time-
out).

Each DLE character found in the buffer is sent as two DIE charac-
ters (DIE doubling), i.e., the data (lOB) is sent twice.

57
88576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

After sending the contents of the buffer, the procedure adds the
cbaracters DLE and ETX as end identifier and waits for an acknow-
ledgement. If the partner sends the character DIE within the time
allCMed (QVZ), the data field was received without errors. If the
partner replies with NAK, any other character (except DIE) ~ a
corrupted character or i f there is a timeout the procedure
I I

begins again with the link establishment STX. After a total of

six unsuccessful attempts to send the data field, the procedure
breaks off the attempt, signals the error to the interpreter and
sends NAK to the partner.

If, while data is being transmitted, the partner sends the char-
acter NAK, the procedure breaks off the field and repeats it as
previously described. If any other character is received, the
procedure waits for the character delay time (ZVZ) to elapse and
then sends NAK to reset the partner. Then the procedure begins
the transmission again with the link establishment STX.

Example of a data exchange without errors:

CP 525 Partner
procedure 3964 (e.g. AS 512 C)

STX -------i>
<:------- DLE
1st character ------->

nth character -------~
DLE -------~
ETX ~------~
<:------- DLE

 B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

5.1.3 BeceiviDg with t:he 3964 P.rocedare

In the idle state, i.e., when there is no send job to be process-

ed, the 3964 procedure waits for the link to be established by
the partner.

If the procedure receives any character (except S'lX) while in the

idle state, it waits \Dltil the character delay time (ZVZ) has
elapsed' and then sends a NAK character. The error is signalled to
the interpreter.

If the procedure receives the character STX and if it has an

empty input buffer available, it answers with DLE. The characters
then received are entered in the input buffer. If two DIE charac-
ters are received in succession, only one DLE character is en-
tered in the input buffer. If the input buffer is full before the
partner has started to terminate the link, the full buffer is
transferred to the interpreter and the next characters arriving
are entered in the second input buffer.

After each character received, the procedure waits for the next
character to arrive within the character delay time. If there is
a character timeout, the NAK character is sent to the partner and
the error signalled to the interpreter.

If the procedure recognizes the character sequence DLE !TX, it

stops receiving and sends DIE to the partner to indicate that the
field was received without errors (or NAK with errors). The pro-
III
cedure transfers the contents of the input buffer to the inter-
preter and returns to the idle state.

If there is no empty input buffer available when the link is

established with STX, a waiting time of 400 IDS is started. If,
after this time has elapsed, there is still no empty input buf-
fer, the error is signalled to the interpreter. The procedure
sends a NAK character and returns to the idle state. I f an input
buffer becomes available, the procedure sends the DLE character
and receives the data as described above.

59
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

If transmission errors occur during the reception (characters

lost, frame error, parity error), reception is continued until
the link is terminated and then NAK is sent to the partner. Then
a repetition is expected. If the field cannot be received without
errors after six attempts, or the repetition or repetitions by
the partner do not take place within a waiting time of 4 s, the
3964 procedure stops receiving and signals the error to the
interpreter.

Example of a data exchange without errors:

OP 525 Partner
procedure 3964 (e.g. AS 512 C)

<;------- STX
DLE ;>
~ 1st character
<:-------
~------­
~~------
~-------nth character
<: DIE
<: ETX
DIE ;>

5.1.4 lDitia1jzatiaD Conflict

If a device receives a send request (STI character) from its

partner and does not answer within the acknowledgement delay time
QVZ with DLE or NAK, but also sends the character S'IX, there is
an :Initialization conflict. Both devices are attempting to carry
out a send job. The device with the l<7t1er priority desists and
answers with the DLE character. The device with the higher prior-
ity sends its data as described above. After the link has been
terminated the lower priority device can then run its send job.

60
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

You set the "priority" parameter when writing the CP 525 user
program with COM 525 in the ASSIGN fROG. PARA. mask. Remember
that one device must be assigned higher, and one lower priority.

Example of resolving an initialzation conflict:

Cf 525 Partner

The procedure recognizes errors caused by the partner's reacting

incorrectly, and errors caused by disturbances on the line.

In both cases an attempt is made to send or receive the data

field correctly. The first repetition is signalled to the inter-
preter. If the data field carmot be sent or received within the
maximum number of repetitions (or a new error occurs), the proce-
dure breaks off the transmission or reception. It signals a
specific error number to the interpreter for the first error
detected and then goes to the idle state.

61
B8576539-03 Computer Link with the RK 512

The interpreter enters the error mnnber received from the proce-
dure in the error message area of the SYSTAT. The significance of
the individual error numbers can be fOlDld in the error tables in
Section 8. If the error occurs during transmission for a PC job,
the job status also has an error entry.

If you find that there is often an entry for send or receive

repetitions in the error message area of the SYSTAT, but it does
not have an exact error number, you can assume sporadic dis-
turbances of the data exchange. These disturbances are compen-
sated by the mnnber of repetitions. You should check the trans-
mission line for sources of interference, since the effective
data rate and reliability of transmission are reduced by large
numbers of repetitions. The cause of the problem could also be
incorrect reaction by the partner.

Note that a link to an AS S12e module using a higher data rate

occasionally causes repetitions.

Note:

- If there is a BREAK on the receive line, the BREAK error mnnber

is signalled to the interpreter inmediately. No repetitions are
started. The error signal remains active \D1til the problem is
eliminated.

- When transmission errors are detected (lost character, frame

error, parity error), the same number is signalled, regardless
of whether the error was detected when a data. field was trans-
mitted or received. The error is, however, signalled only when
the repetitions are unsuccessful. If the corrupted character is
received while the procedure is in the idle state, the error
number is signalled to the interpreter :immediately to indicate
serious interference on the transmission line.

5.2 3964R Procedure

S.2.1 PJ:ocecIure Data

The procedure 3964R. controls the flow of data between your pro-
grammable controller and the partner, e. g., a central process
com-puter t another OP 525, or an AS 5120. In the Of 525, the
interpreter transfers the data to be sent into ootput 1Jaf:fers for
the procedure. The procedure sends this data along with the
transmission protocol 3964R to the partner; i f necessary repeats
the transmission, and signals non-recoverable errors to the in-
terpreter.

Data from the partner is stored in iDpd: 1Juffers. If the data is

received without errors, it is transferred to the interpreter for
further processing.

The 3964R procedure is an asynchronous bit serial transfer pro-

I

cedure. The transmission rate both sending and receiving must be

die same on the OP 525 and on the partner (asynchronous because
there are no timing circuits between the two devices).

Control aDd fDfOJ:Bltioo. chaJ:acters are transmitted on the link.

To ensure that every character is recognized by the receiver and
to allow the transmission to be checked for errors, the charac-
ters are encapsulated by further bits.

The order of the bits is as follows:

III

SA == start bit
1* == information bit no.
PA == parity bit
SO == stop bit

63
 B8576539-04 Computer Link with RK 512

The control characters for the 3964R procedure are taken from the
DIN standard 66003 for the 7-bit code. However, the character
length used is a-bit (bit 7 == 0). At the end of each data field a
block check character (BeC) is added for data protection. The
block check character Bee is the even longitudinal parity of the
information bits of all data bytes of a field that bas been sent
or received. The characters begin with the first byte of informa-
tion data following the establishment of the link and finish with
the DIE ETX character when the link is terminated. No code is
prescribed for the information characters (code transparency).

The following procedure parameters can be set when writing the

OP 525 user program with COM 525:

Data rate

The speed of the data transmission is specified in bps. You can

select the following values:

19200 bps *
9600 bps
4800 bps
2400 bps
1200 bps
600 bps
300 bps
150 bps
110 bps

(*) 19200 bps are only allowed i f you use the V.24 interface with
the CP 52S/CP 524 or the RS422-A/485 interface with the CP 524.
In this case you can only load and operate cme interface with the
OP 525 ince the maximum sum of the data rates is also 19200 bps.

64
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

Priority

To resolve initialization conflicts you can set the priority of

the CP 525. At the partner the opposite priority must be set. You
can choose between the following:

higher priority
lower priority

The following are f:ized for the 3964R procedure:

character length: 8 bits

number of stop bits: 1
parity bit, i. e ., checking for even parity

5.2.2 TransmittfDg widl die 39642. P.rocec1m:e

To establish the link, the 3964R procedure sends the control

character STX. I f the partner replies within the time allowed of
2000 ms (i.e.) no QVZ = timeout), the procedure starts the trans-
mission. If the partner answers with NAK, any other character
(except DIE) or i f there is a timeout, then the attempt to estab- 7
lish a link has failed. After a total of six unsuccessful
attempts, the procedure gives up, signals the interpreter that
there is an error establishing the link, and sends the character
NAK to the partner.

If the link is successfully established, the information data in

the current output buffer is sent to the partner at the selected
data rate. The partner 1OOI1itors the time between the characters
as it recel,ves them. The time beqft!en two characters must not
exceed the character delay time of 220 IDS (ZVZ = character time-
out).

Each DLE character found in the buffer. is sent as two DIE charac-
ters (DIE doublfng)~ i.e., the data (lOR) is sent twice.

6S
B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

After sending the contents of the buffer, the procedure adds the
characters DLE ETX and BeC as end identifier and waits for an
aclalowledgement. If the partner sends the character DIE within
the time allowed (QVZ), the data field was received without
errors. If the partner replies with NAK, any other character
(except DIE), a corrupted character, or i f there is a timeout)
the procedure begins the link establishment again with STX. After
a total of six unsuccessful attempts to send the data field, the
procedure breaks off the attempt, signals the error to the inter-
preter and sends NAK to the partner.

If, while data is being transmitted, the partner sends the char-
acter NAK, the procedure breaks off the field and repeats it as
previously described. If any other character is received, the
procedure waits for the character delay time (ZVZ) to elapse and
then sends NAK to reset the partner. Then the procedure begins
the transmission again with the link establishment STX.

Example of a data exchange without errors:

5.2.3 BeceiviDg with die 396Q. PJ:ocedaI:e

In the idle state, i.e., when there is no send job to be process-

ed, the 3964R procedure waits for the link to be established by
the partner.

If the procedure receives any character (except STX) whUe in the

idle state, it waits until the Character delay time (ZVZ) has
elapsed and then sends a NAK Character. The error is signalled to
the interpreter.

If the procedure receives the character SiX and if it has an

empty input buffer available, it answers with DLE. The Characters
then received are entered in the input buffer. If two DIE charac-
ters are received in succession, only one DIE character is en-
tered in the input buffer. If the input buffer is full before the
partner has started to terminate the link, the full buffer is
transferred to the interpreter and the next characters arriving
are entered in the second input buffer.

After each Character received, the procedure waits for the next
character to arrive within the Character delay time. If there is
a character timeout, the NAK Character is sent to the partner and
the error signalled to the interpreter.

If the procedure recognizes the character sequence DLE ETX and

Bee, it stops receiving. It compares the received block check
character Bec with the longitudinal parity calculated intemally.
III
If the block check Character is correct and no other errors have
occurred during reception, the procedure sends DLE. The procedure
transfers the input buffer to the interpreter and returns to the
idle state. If the BeC does not correspond, NAK is sent to the
partner. Then a repetition is expected. If the block cannot be
received without errors following six attempts or i f the repeti-
tion by the partner does not take place within the waiting time
of 4 s, the 3964R procedure breaks off the reception and signals
the error to the interpreter.

If transmission errors occur during the reception (characters

lost, frame error, parity error), reception is continued until
the link is terminated and then NAK is sent to the partner.
Then a repetition is expected as previously described.

5.2.4 TnitfalfzatiaD COnflict

If a device receives a send request (STX character) from its

partner and does not answer within the acknowledgement delay time
QVZ with DLE or NAK, but also sends the character STX, there is
an initialization conflict. Both devices are attempting to per-
form a send job. The device with the lower priority desists and
answers with the DLE character. The device with the higher prior-
ity sends its data as previously described. After the link has
been terminated, the lower priority device can then nm its send
job.

The priority parameter is set when you are writing the CP 525
user program with COM 525 in the ASSIGN PROC. PARA. mask.
Remember that one device must be assigned higher, and one lower.

5.2.5 PEoceduEe IZZOES

The procedure recognizes errors caused by the partner reacting

incorrectly, and errors caused by disturbances on the line. III
In both cases an attempt is made to send or receive the data
field correctly. The first repetition is signalled to the inter-
preter. If the data field cannot be sent or received within the
maximum number of repetitions (or a new error occurs), the proce-
dure breaks off the transmission or reception. It signals a
specific error number to the interpreter for the first error
detected and then goes to the idle state.

69
B8576539-03 Computer Ltnk with RK 512

The interpreter enters the error number received from the proce-
dure in the error message area of the SYSTAT. The significance of
the individual error munbers can be fOlD'ld in the error tables in
Section 8. If the error took place during transmission for a PC
job) the job status also has an error entry.

If you find that there is often an entry for send or receive

repetitions in the error message area of the SYSTAT, but there is
no exact error number, you can assume sporadic disturbances of
the data exchange. This is, however) compensated by the number of
repetitions. In this case you should check the transmission line
for sources of interference, since the effective data rate and
reliability of transmission is reduced by large numbers of repet-
itions. The cause of the problem could also be incorrect reaction
by the partner.

Note that a link to an AS 512e module using a higher data rate

occasionally causes repetitions.

Note:

- If there is a BREAK on the receive line, the BREAK error number

is signalled to the interpreter iDmediately. No repetitions are
started. The error signal remains active until the problem is
eliminated.

- When transmission errors are detected (lost character, frame

error, parity error) the same number is signalled, regardless
of whether the error was detected when a data field was trans-
mitted or received. The error is only signalled when the repet-
itions are unsuccessful. I f the corrupted character is received
while the procedure is in the idle state, the error number is
signalled to the interpreter immediately to indicate serious
interference on the transmission line.

6 HU1tiprocessor Operation
Compared with single processor operation, multiprocessor oper-
ation requires even more that the programming of the individual
CPOs (STEP 5 user programs) and of the CP 525 (CP 525 user
programs) is carefully matched.

The more complex the application, the greater the care that must
be taken to ensure the numbers of the individual CPUs are cor-
rectly specified in the CP 525 user program.

IIIIPOIlTAR'lI

If several OPUs are to supply jobs to only one interface of a CP

525, the STEP 5 user programs of these CPUs must be coordinated.

Remember that a maximum of 10 jobs can be processed simultaneous-

ly on one interface. I f an eleventh job is initiated, it is
rejected with an error number in the PAFE byte. Another job can
be initiated only when one of the ten jobs has been completed
with or without errors.

If jobs with the same job number are programed on lOOre than one
CPU th~ you should design the STEP 5 user programs so that at any 7
one tiDie only ODe CPU can start one of these jobs. All other OPUs
must wait until this job is signalled as "completed" (with or
without errors).

For more information on specific jobs see the corresponding

sections in this user's guide.

7 Special Jobs Carried out by the CPU

Section 7 contains information about the following:

- the PSEUDO READ/WRITE function

- the error message area of the SYSTAT
- the identification area SYSID
- the reading and writing of the date and time

7 .1 PSEUDO READ/WRITE Function

The READjWRITE function (Rft1 function) with which you are famil-
iar as a user of the handling blocks must DOt be used in cormec-
tion with the CP 525. This is true for the following reasons:

- This R,IW function does DOt allow the specification of a

coordination flag and the CPU number.
- It overwrites part of the data area in the dual-port RAM of the
CP 525, which currently contains data to be transmitted.

Therefore a PSEUDO R/W fuoc~ is used, based essentially on the

function and stntcture of the krlown R/W function.

The pseudo Rftl function means that you can act as follows:

- can change source and/or destination specifications of a job

dynamically while the program is rmming
- do not have to change source and/or destination specifications
of a job dynamically while the program is running
- do not have to change source and/or destination specifications
of a job dynamically while the program is running
- do not have to program this job with COM 525

All the parameters for the source and destination are stored in a
data block (DB) or extended data block (DX).

The job numbers 190 to 199 are reserved for the PSEUDO READ/WRITE
function.

72
B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

A SEND job with the pseudo RJW ftmction is started by one of the
following HDBs:

smm DIRECT 190 1:0 SEll) DIRECT 199

The pseudo R/W job is entered in the internal job queue of the CP
525 just as other direct jobs. When the job is processed the CP
525 uses the SEND AU. IIDB to request the specified data block (or
extended data block) with the assigned parameters and checks the
source and destination parameters specified in it. If these are
within the permitted limits J the CP 525 requests the first source
data by means of a second SEND AU. lIDB and then processes the
SEND job as usual.

A FETCH job with the PSEUDO R,IW function is started by one of the
following HDBs:

FEral DlREC'l 190 to n.:rm DlREC'l 199

As with the SEND job, the CPU fetches the specified data block
using SEND ALL and evaluates the source/destination parameters.
Then the FETCH telegram is sent to the partner. Once the data is
received fran the partner t the RECEIVE ALL HOB enters it in the
specified destination.

In contrast to normal direct jobs, the PSEUDO R/W function re-

quires an additional exchange of data between the CPU and CP.
This data exchange is handled by the SEND ALL, which transfers
the source/destination parameters to the CP 525 .

Transmissions of possibilities can be seen in the job table in

Section 2.6.

For SEND DIRECT 190 to 199 the data source is in your own PC. You
must specify the source length in the parameter data block (enter
this in bytes i fthe QTYP is a byte area). The speci£ication of
the dest. length (ZIAE) is unnecessary. All specifications of the
data destination refer to the partner.

With FETCH DIRECT 190 to 199 the data destination is in your own
PC. Therefore the specification of the length ZIAE in the
parameter data block is vital. Any specification of the parameter
QIAE is not evaluated. All the parameters involving the data
source refer to the partner.

The jobs SEND DIRECT 190 to 199 and FETCH 190 to 199 are called
in the STEP 5 program just as "normal" jobs with "JU". In the
specifications in the block : QTYP/ZTYP I DB no., QANF/ZANF,
QIAE/ZLAE, you name your data block with the RW parameters. The
specification of QIAE/ZIAE is unnecessary since the CP 525 always
reads 10 data words (with SEND ALL).

If no more than 10 jobs are reported as rumrlng simultaneously)

the pseudo R/W jobs can be called mixed in with normal SEND and
FETCH jobs. If more than 10 jobs are called, the initiation of
the jobs must be interlocked.

Since each job number can be assigned only once, it is not

possible to activate a SEND DIRECT 190 and a FETCH DIRECT 190 at
the same time. If the SEND DIRECT job 190 is set to rumrlng in
the condition codeword, no other job with the number 190 (e.g.;
FETCH 190) can be started until SEND DIRECT 190 is completed with
or without errors.

7 •2 Reading the Error Message Area of the SYSTAT

The error message area of the SYSTAT is a data area in the dual-
port RAM of the CP 525. After the CP 525 recognizes an error, it
enters the corresponding error number in the error message area
of the SYSTAT. You decide how the CPU is to react in your STEP 5
user program on the CPU.

The CPU reads the en:or ~sage area of the SYSTAT for the speci-
fied CP interface by means of the job

BECEIVE DlBEC'l 200

The area in the CPU (destination area) to which the error message
area of the SYSTAT is to be transferred, is fixed when you assign
parameters to RECEIVE DIRECT 200. These parameters should be a
data block. The destination length must be at least two words.

RECEIVE DIRECT 200 is executed only when an error number is

entered in the error message area of the SYSTAT, since only then
is the bit "RECEIVE - job ready" set in the ANZW (bit 0).

Note: in some cases (e. g., i f no SYNCHRON has been run or i f

start-up errors have occurred in the CP 525), the error message
area cannot be read by RECEIVE DIRECT 200 (cf. note in Section
7 .4 Reading the whole SYSTAT). III

7.3 Resetting (Clearing) the Error lIessage Area

The CPU resets the error message area of the SYSTAT (based on
interface numbers) with the job

BESET DlRF.C'l 200

All the entries are then cleared except the BREAK bit (B).

IlIIPOJlrA1!fll: the error message area of the SYSTAT is not cleared

by a SYNCHRON call.

The CP 525 can enter up to three error numbers in the error

message area. More errors cannot be signalled unless the "old"
entries have been cleared. Therefore the error message area must
be reset in good time by a RESET DIRECT 200.

The destination area in the CPU must also be reset.

7 •4 Reading the Who1e SYSTAT

In addition to the reading of the error message area of the

SYSTAT) . the entire SYSTAT of the CP can be read by means of the
job III
The area read then contains the error messages for both inter-
faces (in bytes 4 to 10). This job can be executed only i f there
are no error numbers entered. A destination length greater than
or equal to 16 bytes (8 words) is necessary.

Note: in some cases (e. g. no SYNCHRON executed, or error during

the start-up of the CP 525) the SYSTAT cannot be read by means of
RECEIVE DIRECT 221. It must then be read directly from the dual-
port RAM (from address F660H onwards).

85
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The area transferred with this job is structured as follows:

Bit
7
I 6
I 5 I 4
I 3
I 2 1 o
Byte 0 irrelevant RUN STOP

1 irrelevant

2 "sign of life"

3 irrelevant PGR

4 E2 I 02 I B2 1R2 I E1 I 01 I Bl R1

5 error number 1 IFl

6 error number 2 IF!

7 error number 3 IF!

8 error number 1 IF2

9 error number 2 IF2

10 error number 3 IF2

11
12 reserved
13
14
15

The -individual bits or bytes have the following significance:

- RUN = 1 mode selector switched to RUN

- STOP = 1 mode selector switched to STOP
- PGR = 1 mode selector switched to PGR
- "Sign of life", this byte is incremented by 8 at regular inter-
vals on the OP

86
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

- Bytes 4 to 10: cover the error message area for both interfaces
(see Section 7.2 - Reading the error message area of the
SYSTAT) •

- Error message area for IFl: bytes 5 to 7 and byte 4 (bits 0 to

3)
- Error message area for IF2: bytes 8 to 10 and byte 4 (bits 4 to
7)

7.5 Reading the SYSID

An identification area is specified on each CP 525. Information

is written into the identificatiQtl area sysm of the CP 525;
i.e. J you can find information about the following:

- module
- memory submodule
- interface assignment
- issue/version of the loaded software etc.

The CPU can read the SYSID of the CP 525 by means of the job

BECKIV.K DIREC! 223

This is possible i f the field length is greater than or equal to

III
128 bytes; i. e. J the BLGR parameter in the SYNCHRON is KY 0,4 /
KY 0,5 / KY 0,6.

A destination length greater than or equal to 128 bytes is also

necessary.

If the field length is less than 128 bytes the message "completed
with errors" and the error number 7 are entered in the status
byte and the number lE in the error message area of the SYSTAT.
The 8Y8m area is not then transferred.

Note: the sysm can also be read directly from the dual-port BAH,
i . e., without handling blocks (from address F680H onwards). For
more information refer to the manual for your PC.

87
B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

StJ:ucture of the ideo.tificat:lal aJ:ea SISID

The SYSm contains a number of parameters which identify the CP.

Each parameter is completed with carriage return (CR = ODH) that
is also cO\Dlted in the byte specification. Parameters not
assigned consist simply of CR. Some parameters have a different
significance depending on the memory submodule types. All the
parameters are represented in ASCII.

With the OP 525 these parameters are structured as fol1ow-s:

7.6 CP 525: Reading and writing the Date and Time

A CP 525 must be designated either time master or ttme slave.

Time slave: after powering up the OP reacts at first as a time

slave. It can update its own date and time, however,
the CPU catUlot read them.

Time DlSter: the master provides the system time; i.e., the mas-
ter must make this available at any time.

To synchronize the CPs (at regular intervals or when

certain events occur) the CPU reads the system time
from the t~e master and sets all the t~e slaves to
this time. This relieves the time slaves of unnec-
essary updating tasks.

'The CPU can set the date and time on a CP 525 at any time. It
can, however, only read the date and time of a CP 525 that is
designated as time master.

Rote:
The CP 524 does not have a hardware clock.
When using the CP 524, the software clock is not updated or
buffered i f the PLC is setto STOP or the mains voltage is
switched off. Thus, the CP 524 clock must be updated when the CPU
is restarted (cold restart).

90
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The date/time area transferred during writing or reading is

structured as follows:

Byte Significance

0 bit 0: master ide 1 = master

o = slave
1 0

2 1 1
/10 s 1100 s
3 s

4 min

5 h

6 day

7 month
8 year

9 0

In a word transfer byte. 0 corresponds to the left half of the

first data word; byte 1 the right half of the first data word.
•
The date and time are coded in BCD.

~e accuracy of the clock is l/10 s. '!bis means that the position

/l00 s in byte 2 of ~e date/time area is always o. When the
time is written) the /100 s is not accepted.

91
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The job number 218 is fixed on the CP 525 for the jobs "read /
write date and time".

smm DIREC'l 218

Using this job, the CPU declares the CP as master or slave. At

the same time the CPU can also transfer the date and time to the
CPa

Whether the CPU transfers the date and time depends on the source
length specified (QLAE = length of the data to be transferred).

QUE =1 1IOI:d

The OP 525 is declared as master/slave by means of the contents

of bit 0 (least significant bit) in the first byte; master:
bit 0 = 1 / slave: bit 0 = o.

During the start-up or in a warm restart of the CPU, the SEND

DIRECT 218 with QLAE = 1 and master bit = 1 for the CP that is to
be master must be called up. The date and time on the OP 525 are
not changed by QLAE = 1.

QUE == 5 wonts

The CP is declared as master/slave by means of the master identi-

fier and the date and time are transferred.

Remember to set the master identifier when transferring the time

to a master which is to remain as master.

Also remember that the date and time are only adopted by the CP
during the handshake (synchronization via inputs or after reading
a different clock).

Note: the source area from which the data is transferred to the
CP should be a data block.

92
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

Note:

The OP 525 can be declared as time master on one or both inter-

faces. The date and time can only be read on the interface on
which the OP was declared as master.

If the OF is declared as master. on an interface and then as slave

on the other interface, the CP becomes a time slave on both
interfaces.

For example, the following situation occurs: when the date/time

from the first 1nterface is read, the error number IF is entered
in SYSTAT. When reading from the second interface the handshake
is not performed, since the bit "RECEIVE - job ready" in the ANZW
(bit 0) is not set. No error message is output.

A StNCHRON does not influence the master-slave function.

RKCKIVE DlBECr 218

By means of this job the CPU can read the date and time from the
CP (if the CP has already been declared time master with SEND
DIRECT 218.

The destination length must be five words. The destination area

should be a data block.
III
Note: the data read only has meaning if the date and time have
been set at least once since the module was plugged in (with SEND
DIRECT 218, length: five words).

8 Error HancUing

Errors occurring while the computer link is in operation, may

have been caused at various points.

If the CP detects the errors, they are signalled to the CPU with
as much detail as possible. The way in which the CPU then reacts
is decided by your STEP 5 user program on the CPU (for more
details see Section 7).

For example you can have the following:

- an error message output on the printer Pr88/PT89 (either via

another CP 525 or via the same CP 525 using the other inter-
face)
- the error displayed as messages on a monitor (e.g. with the
CP 526)
- the job repeated

The error is signalled by the following:

- an error number in the PAlE byI:e of the handling block (1. )

- an error number in the condition codeword .A.lI?M of the
handling block (2. )
- an error number in the error message area of the SISD7 (3. )
- the CP 525 signals an error to the partner by an error
number in the reply telegram in llEP.IEL (4. )

1. DIe error ,.• .ers in the PAlE byte of the 1aancJJ ing block (llDB)

The PAFE byte is a parameter you specify when calling an IIDB. In

the PAFE byte, the handling blocks indicate when serious errors
occur in connection with a CP or when parameters have been speci-
fied incorrectly. A detailed description of PAFE byte error
messages can be found in the description "Using the handling
blocks" in this manual.

94
 B8576539-03 Computer Ltnk with RK 512

If you receive a PAFE error number I this means that the data
exchange between the CPU and CP either was not started or was
aborted after several \DlSUCcessful attempts.

In the following exceptional cases the error nmnbers 91H and C1H
can mean 'that a serious error has occurred:

- after" a program section is transferred from the PO to the OP

525
- i f coordination flags have been used 1ncorrectly

1:IIIPOIlrAII'l1: i f these situations occur on your system you should

first repeat the corresponding job.

'1'he condition codeword ANZW is also a parameter you specify

when cal1:1ng an HDB. With direct jobs (SEND DIRECT, FETCH DIRECT I
RECEIVE DIRECT), ANZW indicates whether the job is rmming or was
completed.

If the job was terminated with an error, an error number is

entered in bits 8 to U in the ANZW. Bit 3 is also set: " job

•
terminated with error".

IJIII.IOIlDRrI: an error number is only entered in ANZW i f the error

occurred during the processing of a DIRECT job!

S:lnce only four bits are available for the error numbers in ANZW,
one error number normally indicates one of several error states.
Owing to the limited number of error numbers the ANZW is suitable
for evaluation by the STEP 5 user program.

95
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The errors are distinguished by the various sources of error as

follows:

No. for ANZW Source

1 to 5 parameter assignment error recognised by the

CPU of the PC and signalled to the CP

6 error in data exchange between CPU and OF

detected by CP

7 job cannot be carried out, error in job

parameters

9,A,B,C,D error during the execution of a job, caused by

incorrect reaction or error messages from the
partner

E, F error in data exchange between CP 525 and

partner

Descriptions of the errors can be fOWld in the tables on the

following pages.

Rote: a status byte is reserved in the dual-port RAM for each of

the possible jobs. If the CP detects an error in cormection with
a DIRECT job, it writes the error number and the bit "job term-
inated with error" in the status byte of the corresponding job :In
the dual-port RAM. To. have the job status shoWn in the condition
codeword one of the following must occur:

- the CONTROL HDB in the STEP 5 program must be called with the
corresponding job number in the cycle (OB1)
- the DIRECT job (SEND DIRECT) must be called with the CODJDand JU
and RLO=O.

See also the description ''Using the handling blocks" in this

manual.

"
SIS'1AT

The error message area of the SYSTAT is a data area in the dual-
port BAH; the CPU reads this area using the special job RECEIVE
DIRECT 200. For each interface the error message area of the
SYSTAT :Includes three error message bytes and an additional
status byte. A detailed description can be fotmd in Section 7
"Special jobs carried out by the CPU".

All· errors recognized by the CP are entered in the error message

area of the SYSTAT. If the error occurs in comectlon with a
DIRECT job, an error number is also entered :In the condition
codeword. If the error occurs in cormection with a partner job,
an error number is transferred in the reply telegram to the
partner.

The error entry :In the SYSTAT is so detailed that it is particu-

larly suitable for exact error analysis during cODll1iss~oning.

A programmed evaluation of individual error numbers is also

possible. Remember that not only serious errors are entered in
the SYSTAT. For example ~ an entry is made in SYSTAT when the pro-
cedure repeats parts of the telegram exchange. A repetition is
not an error but simply points to mfnor problems in the telegram

•
exchange that can be corrected by repetitions.

The special job RECEIVE DIRECT 200 should be called up in OBi to

read the error message area in the SYSTAT during the cODlDission-
ing phase. You can recognize the occurrence of errors when bit 0
in the ANZW of the RECEIVE DIRECT 200 is set to 1 by the CP and
the error numbers are then copied into the data block specified
as a parameter. If a prograumer is connected to the CPU of the
PC _ you can display the errors directly on the monitor in the
operating mode "STA'lUS variable" or "CON1'ROL variable".

To clear the error entries in the SYSTAT, call the special job
RESET DIRECT 200 (for more details see Section 7).

97
B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

The errors are distinguished by the various er;ror sources as

follows:

No. for SYSTAT Source

1 to 6 parameter ass~ent errors detected by the

CPU of the PC I and signalled to the CP

10 to 14 errors in the data exchange between CPU and

CP detected by the CP

15 to 1F system errors at the beginning of the job

processing

20 to 2F errors in the processing of a PC job,

detected by the OP

30 to 3A errors in the processing of a PC job,

detected by the partner and signalled to the
CP by means of an error number in the reply
telegram

40 to S3 errors during the processing of a partner

job, recognised by the CP

5E to SF reception of an ~terpretable telegram

80 to B8 error in data exchange between PG and OP

co to CA hardware error on the module

DO to FF error in the data exchange between CP and

partner

4. Error ntdJers in reply t:e1epaac;

If an error occurs in connection with a SEND or mea telegram

from the partner, an error munber is entered in the fourth byte
of the reply telegram. The partner job is then terminated.

Rote:

The numbers of the error messages are specified as hexadecimal

values.

The following tables contain a detailed description of the error

numbers
- arranged according to the munbers for ANZW
- arranged according to the munbers for SYSTAT
- arranged according to the numbers for REPI'EL

and IIDIr JOU can n.edy die pmbls. .

The tables generally contain three columns with error numbers

(no. for ANZW/SYSTATfREP!'EL). The error numbers in the second and
third coluions correspond to the number in the first column.

Note that error numbers in ANZW and REPrEL are entered only if
the job is running at the time when the error occurs. For
example:
Case 1: an :Interference pulse is generated on the transmission
line during a break in transmission; the procedure recog-
nizes a corrupted character. It therefore generates the
error code FEll which is entered in SYSTAT. The ANZW is
not changed since the error did not occur during the
actual transmission.

Case 2: the interference pulse occurs while a PC job is being

sent and the repetitions do not succeed in achieving an
error-free transfer; an error number (Ell) is entered in
the ANZW as well as the entry (P'EH) in the SYSTAT.

- Disturbances on the line result in repetitions of the telegram

160
 B8576539-03 Computer Link with RK 512

Remedy

This error can only occur if the transmission is extremely badly

disturbed because of short term overload of the RK 512
interpreter. Correct the problem by changing the system configur-
ation O~ re-laying the cables.

Modify the partner since RK 512 does not recognise the data
control character ETD.

Disturbances on the line result in repetitions of the telegram

and therefore reduce the actual data throughput. The chance of an
undetected error increases. Change the configuration or re-lay
the cable.
Check whether the data rates I parity and number of stop bits are
the same at both devices.

Re-establish the cmmection between the devices or switch on the

partner. Check whether the current flows in TTY operation.

Remedy

Switch the mode selector to RUN.

In the STEP 5 program, "SYNCHRON" calls must be progrannned :In the

start-up organization blocks (0820, 0821, OB22). Following this a
cold restart must be carried out (the PAFE byte in the SYNCHRON
HDB may have to be evaluated).

In your own STEP 5 program: reset the coordination flags again

after processing the last tranmission
data
In the partner program: repeat the job

When starting up for the first time, make sure that the coordina-
tion flags are distributed on the individual processors, CPs, IPs
and the coordinator; that the jumper settings are correct; and
that the coordination flags used in the start-up OBs (OB20, OB21,
OB22) are reset (see also instructions CP 524/CP 525).

This error can be signalled following a cold restart at your PC

if long telegrams are to be sent or durfng a cold restart at the
partner. This is a normal reaction durfng start-up: you do not
need to do anything.
During normal operation the error can also occur as a result of

9 Time Measurement Processing a DIRECT Job

The results of these time measurements for a SEND DIRECT job are
examples of the processing times for DIRECT jobs.

Two SS 135Us, each with a CP 922 and a CP 525 were used for the
time measurement.

The interpreter RIC 512 and procedure 3964 (low priority) are
loaded in the CP 525 of PC 1 on IF 1.

The interface IF 2 is not programmed.

A SBRD job is programmed 1n the job block.

The interpreter RIC 512 and procedure 3964 (high priority) are
loaded in the passive CP 525 of PC 2 on IF 2.

The interface IF 2 is not programmed.

No job is programmed in the job block.

The following times are measured:

- from initiation of the SEND DIRECT job in PC 1

(the bit "job running" is set)
- to the end of the job in PC 1
(the bit "job finished without error" is set.

176

1 OVerview
With the component "event output and listing with the PT88/PT89
printer" the OP 525 can supervise or moltor your process/a part
of the pr:ocess/yotJr plant.

The following functions are available for supervising JOUr pr0-

cess:

• 8eqaeDtfal message list (SIlL) (for detailed description see

Section 2)
.,
Each process event to be recorded is output on the printer in a
message line with the following:

- static· text (programmed by user) e.g. motor on

- time at which event occurred e.g. 11.11.86 13:59:00
- message status e.g. coming
- max. one parameter (process value) e.g. +135.2

The SML is therefore a continuous list of all the events (distur-

bances) to be recorded as they occur :In the process over a longer
period.

• CurJ:ent message list (CIIL) (for detailed description see

Section 3)

When the CML is called, the OP 525 has all the disturbances and
events currently "active" on the CPU printed out. CML therefore
records the overall status of events and disturbances in the
process at a defined time (start time of the CML). •

1
 B8576S41-03 Printer PT88/PT89

The dynamic data fOtmd in the SML is not included in the CML. The
dynamic data includes the following:

- time
- status
- parameter (process value)

Question marks are printed out in their place.

For moo.itoriDg )OUE' process the following functions are

available:

• Process status list (PSL) (for detailed description see

Section 4)

When the PSL is called, the OP 525 fetches the current process
data from the CPU and compiles a list by adding these data to
static texts stored in the CF user memory. This list is then
output on the printer.

PSL is therefore an image of the process/part of the process at a

defined time (starting point of the PSL).

• Chained lists (CL) (for detailed description see

Section 5)

When the CPU starts a chained list, several PSLs (max~ e~t)
are printed out automatically one after the other. In this way,
i. e.. by chaining the images of individual parts of the process,
a process image of the whole system can be obtained.

2
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

You can have the lists supplemented by a

• List :frame (for detailed description see

Section 6)

This is part of a list that can be printed out at the beginning

and/or at ·the end of each list.

The frame is not a list in its ~ right and cannot be started by

the CPU. It can be assigned to the SML, CML and PSL when they are
prograDDJled.

-,
• Update sequential. message list (for detailed description see
Section 7)

The dynamic values :In the header and trailer of a current SML are
updated at any time you select (e.g. change of shift).

• Update group inhibit bit:s (for detailed description see

Section 8)

Individual messages in the SHL or CML and any line of a PSL can
be assigned to a message group (maximum 16 groups). These groups
can be released or inhibited by the CPU with the job "update
group inhibit bits". RoDe of the messages or PSL lines belonging
to an inhibited group are listed!

Your STEP 5 program on the CPU can send a data word at any time
in which the CP 525 can determine the status of the message group
(inhibited or released).
•

3
B8576541-03 Printer PT88fP1'89

You can also bring "order" into your lists:

• Rev page (for detailed description see

Section 9)

You can have a form feed carried out on the printer (printer
header is then on the next page).

• Beset page IMJIDber (for detailed description see

Section 10)

When printing out on the PT88jPT89 you can have the page number
reset to 1.

With the exception of the list frame, all the functions mentioned
previously can be started by the CPU of the PC (i. e. by your STEP
5 program). This is achieved by calling the handling block SF.RD
DDlEC'l' with a job number.

2 Sequential Message List (SIlL)

Certain events within the process or plant (from now on referred
to simply as _ ) can be listed by the OP 525 quickly,
in detail and at the exact time of the occurrence on the
PT88/PT89 printer.

The sequential message list consists of a series of individual

messages which are output continuously whenever a disturbance is
detected (see Section 2.1). The SML can, i f required, have a
header and/or trailer added.

 B8S76S41-03 Printer PTBS/PrB9

The disturbances that are listed can come from the follow-ing:

- the process (inputs, outputs) flags, data)

- the bus (e.g. SINEG HI) (telegrams)
- a station,
via a telecontrol link (telegrams)
- etc.

Your STEP 5 program on the CPU of the CP must collect and prepare
the data and pass them on to the CP 525. There is an interface
between tile CPU aDd CP 525 for this purpose (see Section 2.2).

2.1 Processing the Messages on the CPU

Your STEP 5 program on the CPU must make the process data availa-
ble to the CP 525. Before the CPU transfers the process data to
the CP, the data· is placed into message records on the cpu. The
individual message records are entered in" a data block mown as
DB II BKaHm (for the structure of the DB M RECORD see Section
2.2).

At certain intervals or when the DB M RECORD is full of message

records) the CPU sends a copy of the DB M RECORD to the CP 525 by
calling the handling block SEND DIRECT.

IIIIPOIlTAR'lI The structure of the DB M RECORD must be adhered to.

The length of the "body" must be entered correctly!

6
 B8576541-04 Printer PT88/PT89

The STEP 5 program for processing messages should be Called up

cyclically and must meet the following requirements:

1. 'DIe 85 pJ:ogL&a DJSt detect dist:aEbances.

To dete'ct disturbances, the 85 program must do the following:

- define areas from which the messages originate (input, output,
flag or data areas)
- assign the message number to the cause of a message. This is
achieved using a data block (referred to from now on as DB H
OLDNEW). The structure of DB H OLDNEW is described in Section
3.2'
- compare the areas NEW and OLD cyclically in DB H OIDNEW (see
3.2). '11118 comparison makes it possible to recognize whether
new disturbances have "come" and older disturbances have
"gone".

AreaOID Area NEW Message status

1 -> o disturbance going

o -> 1 disturbance coming

2. U1e S5 pmgraa 8ISt geoerate message records when distarbaDces

are det:eeted.

To generate messages. the program must do the following:

•
- determine and enter the message number from the status changes
to DB H OLDNEW (see 3.2)
- enter the message status (e~ge evaluation!)
- enter the data/time

7
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

- enter the parameter type and the parameter (process value). If

no parameter is entered the parameter type must be specified
as OFFH.

3. DIe SS program 1IIUSt: enter the message :r:ecar:ds in DB H BEOOJID.

To enter the records, the program must do the following:

- count the bo~ length according to the length of the message
record entered.

4. '!he 85 PzogJ:8IIIIDSt transfer DB JI BEaItD (or preferably a copy

of the DB • IlEOOBD ealled DB ]I SPBD) to the CP 525.

To transfer the 'DB M RECORD, the program must do the

following:
- guarantee that the DB M SEND is transferred to the CP 525 by
means of a SEND DIRECT when the record is full and/or at
certain intervals.

!lJIP(JllARl'l: the job number of the SEND DIRECT must be the

same as the job number of the SHL programmed on the CP 525 f
The number of the DB M SEND must be specified when you are
assigning parameters to the SEND DIRECT.

- purge the DB H RECORD, i. e., make space for new entries (body
length = 0; pointer = 1st message record).

2.2 Interface Between CPO and CP 525

The interface between the CPU and the Of 525 is the data block
DB H RECORD.

2.2.1 Structure of t:he DB II BEOOIlD

The DB M RECORD is structured according to certain rules to

ensure that the CP 525 can evaluate the DB H RECORD correctly.
The DB 1'1 RECORD consists of a header and body as follows:

Byte DW no. Content

0 0 header
1

2 1 body
· .
· .
·
510 255

The header contains organizational information as follows:

9
88576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

The body begins at byte 2 of the DB M RECORD. It contains a

string of message records. The length of a message record, shown
as follows. depends on whether it contains a parameter:

12 bytes =6 words without parameters

16 bytes =8 words with parameters

A DB M RECORD can be a maximum 256 words long. It can therefore

contain a maximum of the following:

42 message records without parameters

31 message records with parameters

2. "ssage st:at:us - byte 1

The status of the disturbance is described 1n more detail as

follows:

coming - the event just occurred (the disturbance bas

just been detected)
- the disturbance is still "active"
- the message has not yet been acknowledged by
the user (e.g. via the CP 526)

going - a previously signalled disturbance is no

longer "active". The event has "gone".

acknowledged - the user has noticed the signalled

disturbance and has aclmowledged it. The
disturbance is, however, still "active".

The status of a disturbance must be represented in the message

record shown as follows:

The messages are numbered to ensure that the following occurs:

- the correct values are assigned to each disturbance on each CPU

- the correct message text is assigned to each message on the
CP 525 "(i.e. the text programmed for' this message).
If no message text is stored for a particular message number,
nothing can be printed out on the printer.

5./6. Date and time - byte 4 to byte 10

You can have the time at which the disturbance occurs or at which
the status of the disturbance changes entered in the message
record. You can, for example, read the date and time from the CP
525 or fran the CP 526.

When you program the SML (with COM 525) you determine at which
point and in which order the date and/or time is entered in the
message text. This applies to all messages in the sequential
message list (r), i. e. you cannot specify the date/time for each
individual message. This process ensures a uniform. clear l.a,out
for all SMLs.

The date and time must be entered in BCD code as follows:

IIIIPOIlrAR'lI: the CP 525 checks whether there is a zero in the

field for the day (byte 8). If there is t the date and time are
not entered in the message record. The CP 525 then enters the
current value of the CP 525 clock in the message record.

16
B8576541-04 Printer PT88/Pl'89·

Note that you must set the clock of the OP 525 using the CPU
clock. You can set the date and time on the CPU using COM 526 for
example.

7. Panmet:er - byte 12 to byte 15

You can reserve space for «me current parameter in each dis-
turbance message to obtain detailed information about the distur-
bance. The current parameter 1s acquired at the time when the
disturbance occurs.

Example:

25.10.85 19:30 inlet pressure exceeded 15 bar

15 = puamet:er

The parameter is optional.

2.3 Processing Messages on the CP 525

The message records are buffered ~ediately when they arrive at
the GP.

2.3.1 Buffering die Jlessage :Records

The PTBB and Fl89 can output messages at the following speeds:

maximum 150 characters/s (inkjet)

maximum 80 characters/s (impact matrix)

This is cmsidembly slower than the acquisition of process data

on the CPU and the transfer of data from the CPU to the OP 525.
These differences in speeds are compensated by having all the
message records that are transferred from the CPU to the CP 525
buffered on the CP 525. The data is output to the printer only
after it has been buffered.

Fig. 2 Buffering data on the OP 525

The DB M SEND is transported to the CP 525 at high speed (IDS =:

milliseconds). It is then buffered since the PrBS (Pr89) can

output a maximum 150 characters/s (80 characters/s).

22
B8576541-04 Printer PT88/Pl'89

The message buffer on the CP 525 operates as a IDO (first In

first 011I:) memory. This means that all messages are processed in
the order in which they are entered.

The OP 525 ensures that the following occurs:

- the mes·sages are output quickly on the printer

- even if a large number of messages occur, none are lost

The OP 525 therefore only transfers the message records to the

FIFO when the following conditions are met:

- there is still space in the FIFO

(max~ 128 message records can be entered)
- a message text is stored on the CP 525 for the message number
entered in the message record (you prograJlllled these with
COM 525 - see Flg. 3).

This process avoids the FIFO's being "cluttered up" by unlistable

messages that might otherwise cause an overflow if many messages
occur at one time.

23
 B8576541-04 Printer PT88jPT89

From the message records provided for the OP 525 by the CPU, the
OP 525 selects those that have message texts programmed for them.
These are then buffered in the FIFO and printed out on the
printer.

2.3.2 PreparlDg and 0Ilt:pattfDg 1:he Jlessages

The CP 525 processes the message records buffered in the FIFO

continuously as follows:

- the dynamic data from the message record is added into the
preprogranmed static message texts at the positions specified.
This dynamic data includes the status, date. time and the
parameter
- the control data for the printer attributes (compressed print,
expanded print, bold print, underlined, acoustic signal) is
added (see Section 2.3.4).

The entire message line is printed out.

 B8576S41-0S Printer PT88jPT89

Rote: i f the CP recognizes that the message record and the static
message text do not match (e. g., the message record does not
contain a parameter although a dynamic field is programmed for
one in the static message text) then instead of the dynamic
field, the OP causes filling characters to be printed out.

2.3.3 FDO Overflow

Although the FIFO has the capacity for 128 messages, it can
become full. Space for new entries can only be created if
messages are printed out. The FIFO can overflow because of the
following:

- The printer
is switched offline,
has run out of paper,
has run out of ink

- A very long list that cannot be interrupted is being printed

out.

- A very large number of messages arrive within a very short

time.

If the OP 525 recognizes that there is a FIFO overflow, the CP

signals the error to the CPU and the last DB M SEND to be sent is
DOt entered in the FIFO. Until the cause of the error is
remedied, all further DB MSENDs are rejected by the CP 525 with
an error. These DB M SENDs are DOt buffered on the CP.

DB M SENDs are accepted again only when the FIFO bas space for a
complete DB M SEND.

26
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

Your STEP 5 program can react in the following ways: '

• The CPU ignores the error message and sends further DB M SENDs
to the OP 525. ·

Reaction of the OP: as long as the error is not corrected, all

further· DB M SEND's are rejected with an error and not buffered
in the FIFO.

• The CPU evaluates the error message, buffers the DB M SEND that
was terminated with an error and sends it to the OP 525 again
until the CP completes the job without error.
.,
Reaction of the CP: the DB M SEND that caused the overflow 1s
entered after the error is corrected and is then printed out.

1£ the CPU recognizes new disturbances in the meantime, these

disturbances are either lost or the 85 program has its own
buffer area for temporarily storing these messages.

2.3 .4 P.r:fnt At:tri.bates

When programming with COM 525, you can assign individual print
attributes to the static parts and dynamic parts of each message.
The following attributes are available:

•
C = compressed print
E = expanded print
B = bold face
U = tmderlined
A= acoustic signal of the PT88jPT89

The print attributes are described in more detail in Section 11.

27
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

fixed texts yes yes yes yes yes

dynamic texts no yes yes yes yes

r ~ r : i f you select different print attributes for the

static and dynainic parts of individual messages the layout of the
SML can become confusing. The date) time and status may not be
printed out in uniform colUJID'ls.

11KPOJlTAR'l1: if the messages are longer than the printout lines)

there is no guarantee that the print attributes will bring about
the expected result on the printout.

2.4 Frames with SMLs

An SML (as well as the other types of lists) can have a list
header and/or trailer known as a frame.

Header =a :frame printed out at the beginning of the SML and at

the beginning of every new page

Trailer =a :frame printed at the end of every page and at the end
of the SML

You can use the same or a different frame for the header and
trailer. You can select the frame when you program the SML. All
the frames must be prograumed \Dlder the list type "frame".

Note: frames can only be printed out correctly

- when the single message is not longer than one line (i.e., no
line overflow) and
- and when the number of lines in the header plus the number of
lines in the trailer < the page length (~ee Section 12.2.3).

28
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

Header Frame

Trailer Frame

New page
Header Frame

Trailer Frame

When the single' messages that make up the SML are output, the
CP 525 CO\D1ts the lines. It then recognizes that the end of a
page is close and outputs the trailer (if this is programmed).

Then a fcma feed is triggered and, i f programmed, the header is

printed at the top of the next page. Then the single messages are
continued.

•
For more details on frames see Section 6.

2.5 Priority of the SML

Messages belonging to the SML are printed out with highest prior-
ity as standant. CHLs or PSLs are printed out only when all the
messages for the SML have been listed (i.e. the message FIFO is
empty).

29
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

CMLs and PSLs can, however, be interrupted at any point in the

list (i.e., between two protocol lines) by SML messages. You can
prevent this when programming the PSL or CML with COM 525. If you
do, then PSLs and ClwDA are printed out completely. The SML
messages are buffered in the FIFO until the printer is free.

You decide whether or not the CMLs and PSLs are to be interrupted
by SMLs:

3 Current Message List (CKL)

Disturbances in the process occur spontaneously. They must be
detected by your STEP 5 program and recorded in a data block -
DB II ()JJBKIJ (status "coming" - bit set). If the disturbance is
corrected, the entry must be cleared again in DB M OLDNEW (status
"going" - bit cleared).

At any time DB M OLDNEW' therefore contains information about the

disturbances which are currently affecting the plant. You can
have this information printed out as messages on the printer
(PT88jPT89).

3 .1 Processing the Messages on the CPO ,

By sending a SEND DIRECT job to the CP 525 your STEP 5 program

can initiate the start of a CHL. The CP 525 then requests the
DB • 0UIIPJr from the CPU.

The nlDDber of the SEND DIRECT job must first be specified as

follows:

- in the CP 525 user program (with COM 525)

- in the STEP 5 user program

The data exchange between the CPU and CP 525 takes place us~~
the following handling blocks:

- job for output of a CHL: SP.RD DIBEal

with job DIJIIIber
- transfer of the DB from the CPU to the OP 525: SP.RD ALL

Further information on the handling blocks can be fO\D1d in the

description "Using the handling blocks" in this manual and in /1/
in the list of relevant documentation.

Examples of programming the CPU and the OP 525 can be fO\Dld in

the example of an application "OP 525: event output and listing
with the P.r88jPT89 printer" in this manual.

3.2 Interface Between the CPU and CP 525

The interface between the CPU and the CP 525 is the data block
DB 'II 0UIIPJr. A bit in DB M OLDNW 1s assigned to every distur-
bance to be signalled as follows:
•
- bit set - status "caning"
- bit cleared - status "going"

messages are assigned.

IlIIlQlTAR'll: the maximum possible message number is 2000; there·

MESSAGE NUMBER. > 2000 or NUMBER > 125 ==> error

MESSAGE NUMBER + (16 * NUMBER.) - 1 > 2000 => error

34
 B8S76541-03 Printer PT88/PI'89

Each bit in fields 0 and 1 has a message number assigned to it.

This assignment is made according to the content~ of DW 253." For
DW 253 = 1 (i.e. the lowest message number = 1) the following
assignment results:

The specification of the DW number for field 0 (and for field 1)

•
is relative to the start of the field. For field 0 the distance
to the DB start is 3 data words; for field 1 it is 128 data
words.

Example: the message with the number 27 corresponds to the bit

with the address DW 4.10 in field 0 and DW 129.10 in field 1.

If there is an active disturbance ("coming") the bit assigned to

the message must be set to 1 fn the new value area :In DB 1'1
OLDNEW.

The CP 525 evaluates only the new value part of DB M OLDNEW,

which is determined by the value of DR O. This contains the image
of the disturbance status on the CPU at the time when the DB H
OLDNEW is transferred from the CPU to the CP 525.

35
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

3.3 Processing the Messages on the CP 525

When your STEP 5 program starts, the CHL (with SEND DIRECT to the
OP 525), the OP requests the DB H OWNm1 from the CPU. As soon as
it receives the CP the DB buffers the new value part for the
whole of the time that the CML is output on the CP 525. This
ensures that the CML is a complete ~ge of the disturbance
status at a defined t~e.

The CML is structured and output in lines. The OP 525 proceeds as

follows:

- searches the DB H OIDNEW (new value part) for set disturbance

bits
- ascertains the number of this disturbance
- checks whether there is a message text progranuned for this
number on the OF 525
if "no" the disturbance is ignored
if "yes" the corresponding message text is output on the
PT88/PT89
- the programmed print attributes are assigned to
the static parts of the message line in t~e list
- ensures that instead of the cIyDamic parts (date, time, status,
parameter) ,
"7" will be printed out to match the number of characters
programmed 'for the field.

Rote: all the dynamic parts of a message relate to the time at

which the event being signalled was detected. When the CHL is
output it is mown only that disturbances exist, but not, hor.f-
ever, when they were detected and which dynamic values were
current at the timet As a result the dynamic values for the date,
time and parameter are missing. These are not listed in the CML:
instead a corresponding number of U?" is printed out.

JIIP(Il7A5'l'!: "1" is printed out correctly only if an SML has been

triggered by the CPU at least once before the CML is started.

3.4 Frames with CML

As with the other list types, the GMt can have a list header
and/or t:railer. The header and trailer are selected when the CML
is progr8DDl1ed and first programmed as list type ":frame".

Header == . a frame printed out at the begitming of the CML and at

the beginning of every new page.

Trailer == a frame printed out at the end of every page and at the
end of the CML.

The header and trailer are both optional. You can use the saJ.tJe
frame or a different one for the header and traUer.

The CP 525 lists the individual messages of the CHI. and CO\Dlts
the lines. Before the end of a page is reached, the CP recognises
this condition and outputs the trailer. Then a fom feed is
triggered and the header (if programmed) is printed out at the
beginning of the next page. Following this, the output of the
stogle messages is contfnued.

Note: frames can be correctly printed out only

- when the individual message is not longer than one line (i.e.
no line overflow) and
- when the number of lines in the header plus the number of lines
in the trailer < the page length (see Section 12.2.3) .

•
For further information on frames see Section 6.

3.5 Priority of the CML

CMLs can be interrupted at any time between two lines by SML
disturbance messages. The CHL itself cannot interrupt a PSL or an
SML. The CML can also not be interrupted by·a PSL.

37

c: SML can interrupt CML

no
---> means: e.g. CHI, has DO priority over SML

* means: when programming the PSL or CML you can prevent

their being interrupted.

3.6 Limit Values for the CML

The following limit values apply to the messages in the CML:

max. number of CMLs per CP 525 interface: 1

max. number of list lines (= messages) per CML: 1000

(header, trailer, not included)

4 Process status List (PSL)

The CP 525 can output data and statuses from the process (e.g.
temperatures, pressures, counts) in process status lists on the
prfnter. A PSL consists of a sequence of a max~ 99 list 1fDes,
which together provide an image of the process at a defined time.

If required, a PSL can be printed out with a frame header and/or

trailer.

Fig. 8 Example: process status list

A PSL consists of static and dynamic parts. The static parts are
determined when you program the PSL with COM 525. The dynamic
values must be acquired by the STEP 5 program on the CPU, col-
lected in a data block and transferred to the OP 525 when the CP
requests the data. There is an interface between the CPU and
Of 525 for this purpose.
•

39
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

4.1 Processing the PSL on the CPU

The CPU must acquire all the dynamic parts of the PSL and store
them in a pre-assigned data block. Before the CPU sends the job
to the CP to output a PSL, the DB must be available on the CPU
and completely updated, since the CP requests this DB from the
CPU immediately.

The data exchange between the CPU and CP 525 takes place using
the following handling blocks:

- job for output of a PSL: SERD DIIlEC'l

with job DO.
- transfer of the DB from the CPU to the OP 525: SERD ALL

Further information on the handling blocks can be fOWld in the

description "Using the handling blocks" in this manual and m /1/
in the list of relevant documentation.

Examples of programming the CPU and the OP 525 can be fmmd in

the example of an application "CP 525: event output arid listing
with the PT88/fT89 printer" in this manual.

4.2 Interface Between the CPU and CP 525

The interface between the CPU and Cf 525 is the data block
assigned for this purpose. 'Ibis can be different from PSL to PSt.
The number of the data block is fixed when you pro-gram the PSL
in the CP 525 user program. This DB must also be de-fined in the
STEP 5 user program.

40
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89"

4 •3 Processing the PSL on the CP 525

Your STEP 5 program starts a PSL by sending a SEND DIRECT job
with a job number to the CP 525. The CP then requests the
assigned DB from the CPU. When the CP 525 receives the DB, it
buffers it on the CP 525 for the entire time the PSL is output.
This guarantees that all the data for the PSL are acquired at ODe
time and that they belong together.

The PSL is structured and output in lines as follows:

- the static parts are assigned "their" print attributes and

- the dynamic parts are assigned "their" print attributes

and both parts are listed together.

You select print attributes when you program the PSL with COM
525. The print attributes of the static parts are reset for each
list line. They apply to all static texts in this list 1fDe.

The print attributes of the dynamic parts can be set individually

for each field. They then only apply to that particular dynamic
field (i.e. not for the whole line). After this field the attri-
butes for the static part apply once again.

41
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

In ~e assigned DB the dynamic values can be stored in the usual

SIMATIC 85 formats as follows:

Format Significance Range of

88576541-03 Printer P1'8S/P1'89

4.4 Frames with PSLs

As with the other list types, the PSL can have a list header and
trailer. You select the header and trailer when programming the
PSL and program them as a "frame" list type.

In contrast to SKLs and CMLs, the header for a PSL is printed

only at t:he start and the trailer only at t:he mid of a list (i.e.
not on every page).

Further information about frames can be fOWld in Section 6.

4.5 Priority of the PSL

PSLs can be interrupted at any time between two list lines by SML
messages.

The PSL cannot interrupt an SML or a CML. The fSL cannot be

interrupted by a CML. When prograuming with COM 525 I you can
prevent the PSL being interrupted.

the capacity of the DB (max. 512 bytes).
- the type of dynamic data and their space requirements in the
DB,
- the number of places the dynamic fields require in the list
lines.

**) If process status variables are progranuned, the maximum

number of dynamic fields is less since the space requirements for
process status variables are much greater (up to 8 alternatives
per dynamic field).

5 Chained Lists (eL)

The current status of your plant or part of the plant can be
printed out in a process status list (PSL). PSLs can be a maximum
of 99 lines long.

If you require more than 99 lines, you should program and start a
cha:lDed list:.

Fig. 9 Example: chained lists

45
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/Pl'89

Chaining lists simply means that up to 8 process status lists are

started automatically. This process saves code and job numbers on the
CPU. There are a maximum 199 job nwnbers per OP interface which
allows you to do the following:

- print out the status of the whole plant since all the PSL's of
the different parts of the plant are output automatically
- structure a process status list with mm:e than 99 lines, by
spreading the list over several PSLs.

All the parameters of the individual PSLs such as the

- numbers of the individual data blocks

- the names of the list headers
- the names of the list trailers

are fixed when you program the PSL. When progranming the chained
list, simply specify the names of the individual PSLs that are to
be chained.

For more :Information on PSLs see Section 4.

5.1 Processing the CL on the CPU

Your STEP 5 program starts a chained list by sending a SEND
DIRECT job with a job number to the OP 525. The job number must
be specified in advance

- in the CP 525 user program (with COM 525)

- in the STEP 5 user program

Then the CP 525 requests the data block from the CPU for the
first PSL to be chained. The CPU then sends all the DBs for the
individual PSLs to the OP 525 in succession as they are
requested.

46
 88576541-03 Printer PT88/PI'89

The data exchange between the CPU and CP 525 takes place using
the following handling blocks:

- job for output of a CL: SERD DIBP..C'l

vidl job DO.
- transfer of the DB's from the CPU to the OP 525: SERD ALL

Further information of the handling blocks can be fOlUld in the

description "Using the handling blocks" in this manual and in /1/
in the list of relevant documentation.

5.2 Interface Between CPU and CP 525

The interface between the CPU and CP 525 is formed by the data
blocks you assign when programming the individual PSLs. This can
be the same for all PSLs or differ from PSL to PSL.

For more information on PSLs see Section 4.

5.3 Processing the CL on the CP 525

Your STEP S program starts a chained list by sending CJI18 SEND

DIRECT job with a job number to the OP 525. '111e OP then

•
processes, in succession, all the PSLs specified in the OL.

This processing is described in detail in Section 4.

Note: with the chained list:

when the CPU starts a CL with a SEND DIRECT job, the Of 525
automatically processes the individual PSLs you specified when
programming with COM 525.

with single process status lists:

the CPU must start each PSL with a SEND DIRECT job.

47
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

5.4 Frames with the Chained List

When programming the chained list with COM 525 you caDDDt specify
a header or trailer specially for the CL. The headers and trai-
lers must be assigned for each individual PSL.

By prograuming the PSLs accordingly you have a wide variety of

options as follows:

- each PSL bas its own header and trailer

- only the first PSt has a header
- only the last PSL has a trailer
- \ any of the chained PSLs can have a header and/or trailer
- each PSL begins with form feed
- only the first PSL begins with form feed

Example:

Header Frame 1 Header Frame 3

PSt 1 PSLS

Trailer Frame 4
PSL2
Header Frame 5

PSL3 PSL6

Trailer Frame 6
PSL4

Trailer Frame 2

For more information about frames see Section 6.

 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

6 Frames (List Headers/Trailers)

All three types of list (SML, CML, PSL) can have a list header
and/or trailer. These are parts of lists which are programmed
independently from the list Wlder the term "frame".

Header = a frame printed at the beginning of the list and at the

begirming of each new page (except PSL: only at the
begirming of the list)

Trailer =a fnme) printed at the end of every page or at the end

of the list (except PSL: only at the end of the list)

You can decide whether to have a header or trailer printed out by

entering the required frame name when you program the SML, CML or
PSL under the header or traUer. The structure of the frame is
similar to that of the PSLs.

IIIIPORTARTI Frames cmmot be started by the CPU. Headers and

trailers can only be printed out in conjWlction with SML, CML and
PSL.

Frames can be used as required, e.g., as follows:

- a frame can be used as a header in one list and a trailer in

another
- all lists can have the same frame as header and/or trailer
- each list can be supplemented by its own header and/or trailer,
i.e. different frames for different lists

When programming a frame with COM 525, you select a data block
that is to contain the current dynamic values of the frame.

IllIfOBr.Alft'l Only data words 0 to 127 are evaluated in this DB.

50
 88576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

6.1 Processing the Data on the CPU

If the STEP 5 program starts a list, the OP 525 checks whether
the list requires a frame and if so, requests the data block from
the CPU that contains the dynamic values for the frame.

The data exchange between the CPU and CP 525 takes place using
the following handling blocks:

transfer of the DBs from the CPU to the CP 525: SERD. AU.

Further information on the handling blocks can be found in the

description "Using the handling blocks" in this manual and in /1/
in the list of relevant documentation.

Examples of programming the CPU and the OP 525 can be fO\Dld in

the example of an application "CP 525: event output and listing
with the Pr88/PT89 printer" in this manual.

6.2 Interface Between CPO and CP 525

The interface between the CPU and CP 525 is the assigned data
block and can be different from frame to frame. You decide the
n\Dl1ber of this DB in the CP 525 user program. You must also
define this DB in the STEP 5 user program.

6.3 Processing the Data on the CP 525

After the CPU has started an SHL, CML or PSL, the CP first checks
whether a header and/or trailer has been progranmed for the list.
•
If 'yes' it requests the DB for the frame from the CPU - first
the DB for the header and then the DB for the traUer.

51
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89
•
The DDs transferred from the CPU with SEND ALL (only data words
o to 127) are buffered on the GP 525 until the complete list is
printed out. This ensures that the dynamic data of the header or
trailer remain the same during the output of the list (status as
at the start· of the list).

The OP 525 counts the

lines as they are printed out on the printer. The CP 525 then
recognizes the end of a page, adds the trailer and triggers a
form feed to the next page where the header is then printed (if
progranuned). With PSLs the header and trailer are only output at
the beginning and end of the list.

Example of frames with SKL and CML:

new page

frame: header i lines

list line
list line n lines

frame: trailer k lines

new page

frame: header i lines

The programmed page length == i + n + k lines, where i J k == 0 is

possible i f no header or trailer bas been programmed.

7 Update Sequential Message List

The function 'update sequential message list (UPDATE SML)' is used

when you want to change the dynamic values in list headers/ trail-
ers at certain times, (e.g. change of shift) while the SMLs are
rwming. For example I you may want to change the name of the
shift, or shift engineer, etc .

Fig. 10 Example: update sequential message list

Basic information about SMLs:

The sequent"1al message list caD have a list header and/or trailer
(see Section 2.4). If you program a header and/or trailer, they
are printed out at the start arid end of each new page and at the
start and end of the SML. If there are dynamic values in the
header and trailer, you can select a DB as the data source for
these values, both for the header and for the trailer.

54
 88576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89 .

If the SHL is started for the first time, the CP 525 requests
these data blocks from the GPU and stores their contents. This
guarantees that within one SML the dynamic values of the header
and trailer are not changed. This also means that the data blocks
need not be requested from the CPU for each SML job. This reduces
the load on the CPU and OP.

Update SHL:
If you wish to change the dynamic values for the list header and
trailer while an SML is running, you can have new cIyoam.f.c values
sent from the CPU to the CP in DBs. You use the job 1JPD&D mIL
that is triggered by the CPU when the CPU calls the handling .,
block SEND DIRECT with a job nwnber.

7 .1 Processing the Job on the CPO

The dynamic values for the header and trailer of the SHL are
stored on the cPu in a DB (one for header and one for trailer,
although it is possible to have dynamic values for both in me
DB).
If the CPU starts the job) the DBs must already contain the
updated values that are to appear in the header/trailer of the
SML. Itmnediately after the start of the job the CP 525 requests
these DBs from the CPU.

The data exchange between the CPU and the CP 525 1s carried out
by means of handling blocks as follows:

- job "update SHL":

- transfer of the data blocks
from the CPU to the OP 525:
SF.RD DlllP'.Cl with job maher

SF.RD AU..
•
More information on handling blocks can be found in the descrip-
tion "Using the handling blocks" in this manual and \U1der /1/ in
the list of relevant documentation.

 B8576541-03 Printer PreS/PT89

7.2 Interface Between the CPU and CP 525

The interface between the CPU and CP 525 is formed by one or two
data blocks. The numbers of these data blocks are specified when
you program the frame with COM 525. These DBs must also be de-
fined in the STEP. 5 user program.

IDIPOIlTARTI With frames t only data words DW 0 to a maximum Dll 127

are evaluated.

7.3 Processing the Job on the CP 525

Your STEP 5 user program starts the 'update SML' by sending a

SEND DIRECT job with a job number to the CP 525. This job checks
whether a sequential message list with header and/or trailer has
already been started. If this is the case, the job requests the
DBs that you specified when programming the frame for this SML.
The CPU transfers these with a SEND AIL to the CP 525. 'These DBs
contain the most recent dynamic values. The CP buffers the values
transferred (DW 0 - DW 127 for each block). From this point
onwards these values are used as the source for the output of
dynamic values in the header/trailer of the SML.

So that you can recognize whether the dynamic values of the

header and trailer for the SML have been updated after the
UPDATE SML has started the following occurrs:

- the previous messages of the SML are completed with the trailer
which still contains the "old" dynamic values
- new messages are output with the header which already contains
the "new" dynamic values. If you programmed it ~ a form feed for
the beginning of the list is performed.

8 Update Group Inhibit Bits

Very often a plant is divided into various parts. These may

- be started up
- have maintenance work carried out J or
- be switched off

at different tfmes. The corresponding messages and process sta-

tuses are irrelevant during these times and only increase the
load. While a part of a plant is starting up there are usually a
lot of disturbance messages since the plant is usually unstable
durmg the start-up phase.

For this reason it is possible to prevent the listing of such

messages or process statuses by assigning each list line to a
group and release or inhibit the listing of this group.

The messages are assigned to groups when programming the lists

with COM 525. There are max. 16 groups per CP 525 fnt:erface
available. Each of the 16 groups is assigned a bit in a def:lned
data word. These bits are mown as group iDhibit bits (GIB).

With the GIB' s you can control the output of list lines.

GIB status = 1: group iDhibimcJ

All messages and PSL lines which are assigned to
this group will DOt be listed .

GIS status = 0: group released

All messages at:ld PSL l~es
this group will be listed.
which are assigned to

The group inhibit bits (GIB) can be set or reset by the CPU at
any time. The upc1ate group :fDhibi~ bit:s job is available for this
•
purpose.

57
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/P'1'89

IllIPOIti'ARTl After a cold restart carried out from the PG and

following a SYNCHRON J the group inhibit bits on the CP 525 are
reset, i.e. all groups are enabled.

8.1 Processing the Group Inhibit Bits on the CPU

The STEP 5 program maintains the current status of the group
inhibit bits in a defined data word. Both the DW address and the
DB number have already been progranuned

- in the CP 525 user program (with COM 525)

- in the STEP 5 user program

By setting or resetting a group inhibit bit, a group can be

inhibited or enabled at any time. The CPU sends the job "update
group inhibit bits" to the CP 525 by means of a SEND DIRECT job.
The OP 525 innnedlately requests the assigned DB from the cpu.

The data exchange between the CPU and the ~p 525 is carried out
by means of handling blocks:

job "update SML": SF.tID DIIlEC'l with job JDDber

transfer of the DB from the

CPU to the OP 525: SF.tID AU.

More information on handling blocks can be found in the

description "Using the handling blocks" in this manual and under

The interface between the CPU and OP 525 is the defined data word
in the declared data block. This contains the group inhibit bits
for the 16 groups of messages. '!be following applies:

DL n 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8
group no. 15 14 . 9 8
DW n
DR n 7 654 3 2 1 0
group no. 7 6 . 1 0

DY == data word
DL == left data byte of DW
DR == right data byte of DW
n = number of the data word

Bit =1 means message group inhibited

Bit == 0 means message group released

8.3 Processing the Group Inhibit Bits on the CP 525

Immediately after the SEND DIRECT job has been started the CP 525
requests the data block with the defined data word from the CPU.

•
This sends the DB with a SEND AIL to the OP. '.l11e OP 525 stores
the data word and interprets the contents immediately as group
inhibit bits for the 16 groups.

The output of each list line is dependent on the status of the

group inhibit bits for its group, which is assigned when pro-
granming the list l:fne.

Inhibit bit == 1: list line or message DOt output

Inhibit bit = 0: list line or message output on PT88jPr89

9 New Page
The OP 525 automatically initiates a fODl feed when the pro-
grammed page length is reached.

Your STEP 5 user program can also output a form feed at aD.J ~iAe.
Using a SEND DIRECT job with a job number, the CPU starts the
"new page" job on the CP 525.

Rote: this job can only become effective as follows:

- when all the jobs in the queue of the OP 525 are processed
- when all the texts previously transferred to the PT88/PT89 and
buffered in its input buffer are printed out
- when the printer head is not already at the start of a page,
i.e. the form feed bas just been performed.

Further information can be found in the example of an application

"CP 525: event output and· listing with the Pr88/PT89 printer" in
this manual.

10 Resetting the Page Number

The CP 525 counts the list pages printed out on the PTS8/PTS9. It
begins with page 1 after the CP 525 has been switched on, after a
cold restart of the interface, or after BREAK.

Your STEP 5 user program can reset the page cOWlter on the OP 525
to one at aD.J t:ime. By means of a SEND DIRECT job) the CPU starts
the job "reset page number" on the CP. A form feed is automati-
cally carried out at the same time.

11 Print Attributes
Each list line (of an SML, CML or PSL) can be printed out indi-
vidually. You can select from among the following print attrib-
utes when programming the lists with COM 52S:

C == Compressed print == 17 characters per inch (instead of 10

characters per inch)

E == EKpanded print .. double character width

B == Bold face
U ==Underlined

A == Acoustic signal of the P1'88jPT89

You can assign the print attributes individually to the static

parts of the list l:lnes (fixed texts) as well as to the dynamic
part (date, time, process variable).

The selected attributes are then valid as follows:

- for the whole list 1fDe for all static parts

(if you selected these attributes when programming the static
parts)

- ODly for a particular field (within the line) for all c!yDaDW:

•
parts
(if you selected these attributes when programming the dynamic
parts)

'I1te attribute "compressed print" is DOt allowed for dynamic parts.

The following attributes are allowed:

c E B u A

fixed texts' yes yes yes yes yes

dynamic texts no yes yes yes yes

61
 B8576541-03 Printer PT8S/.PT89

You can combine the print attributes as you wish. The text is
then output according to the print attributes assigned to it.

Example: the attributes EC8DB are assigned to a particular text.

This text is then output as follows:

- in compressed print (0), however

- with double character width (E)
- in bold print (B)
- tmderlined (U)
- with the acoustic signal of the PT88/PT89 (A)

If dynamic parts with their own attributes are printed out within
a static text t the attributes of the static text are used again
after the dynamic part has been printed out.

11.1 Print Types

The PT88jPr89 can print out in two print types as follows:

narmal. print = 10 characters per inch

canpressed print == 17 characters per inch

11.1.1 RoJ:IIIa1 Print

Normal print = 10 characters per inch.

Unless you select the print attribute "C" (compressed print) the
text is printed out in normal print. In normal print with normal
character width you can print the following:

- maximum 80 characters per line on a Pr8S

- maximum 136 characters per line on a Pr89

62
 B8576S41-03 Printer P'l'8BjPr89

11.1.2 Caapressed PrInt (C)

Condensed print =: 17 characters per inch.

If you select the print attribute "C", the texts are printed in
compressed print. In compressed print with normal character width
you can print the following:

- maximum 136 characters per line on a PTBB

- maximum 136 characters per line on a Pr89

This attribute is accepted only by the Fr88/PT89 at the beg:fnning

of a line. It then remains valid for the whole line, i. e . for
static and dynamic text.

11.2 Expanded Print

The PT88jPr89 can print out as follows:

- normal character width = Character matrix 5 * 9 dots

- double character width - character matrix 2 *5 * 9 dots

11.2.1 Ramal dlaracter Width

Unless you select the print attribute "E") the text is printed

•
out in normal character width. A character is then represented by
a 5 * 9 dot character matrix.

11.2.2 Double a.aracter Width (E)

If you select the print attribute "E", the text is printed with
double character width. Each dot in the character matrix is
represented by two dots side by side. A character is then repre-
*
sented by a 2 * 5 9 dot character matrix.

63
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

11.3 Bold Print CB)

With bold prfnt, each character is printed more than once. There
is however, a difference between heavy print with the impact
I

matrix printer and heavy print with the inkjet printer.

11.3.1 Bold P.dnt with the Impact lIatrh Printer (Needle)

A bold face character is produced when the printer prints the

character three times.

1l.3.2 Bold P.dnt with the Inkjet P.dnter

A bold face character is produced when the printer prints the

character twice.

11.4 Under1ining CU)

If you select the print attribute "underlined" (U), the text is
underlined. The underlining is part of the character. It is
printed on the bottom position of the character (ninth position).
Spaces are also tmderlined.

Rote: the tails of letters such as g, j, P, q become \D1clear!

Example: doggy becomes QQggy.

11.5 Acoustic Signal (A)

The attribute "AU triggers the acoustic signal of the PT88/Pl'89
(lasts one second). The OP 525 ensures that it is triggered only
once per list line even if it is programmed more than once in a
line (e.g. for several dynamic parts).

12.4 start-up Phase of the CP 525

12.4.1 StartiDg Up after Switching On the Power

After you have switched on the power the two ums on the front
panel of the CP 525 light up. The CP 525 then checks whether

- the RAM and EPROM are functional and

- the interpreter and procedure are present and complete in the
memorysubmodule

Following the start-up phase which takes approximately two

seconds the OP switches off the LEDs of the loaded interfaces. If
the mode selector is set to STOP or PGR the LEDs do not go off.

Following the start-up phase the CP 525 expects the SIRC2IBOR job
from the CPU.

12.4.2 smamoR.Job £rail the CPU

'!be SJRaIBOR job arrives after the start-up phase

The SYNCHRON IIDB is necessary for processing the jobs, SEND and
RECEIVE (to ensure that the field length for data transfer CPU
- --> OP 525 is agreed). The SYNCHRON IIDB is usually called up in
the STEP 5 user program in the organization blocks OB 20, OB 21,
OB 22.

When the SYNCHRON job nms through without errors, the CP is

ready to process jobs (SEND, RECEIVE) from the CPU.

78
 88576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

One possible reaction before SYNCHRON is as follows: r

- jobs (except SYNCHRON) could arrive from the CPU before the
SYNCHRON has run: these are rejected with "not ready" (error
number SlK :In the PAFE byte of the corresponding job).

A new SIRaIROR job arrf:ves for an fDterface which is ab:eady fD

operatioD (for example as a result of pressing the RESET button
on the CPU)

If a PC job is currently being processed, it will be terminated

with the error number 7H in the condition codeword. The error
number 168 is signalled in the error message area of the SYSTAT.

If the SYNCHRON is run through vi1:bout: errors the job statuses

(and therefore the condition codewords) of all jobs are cleared.
The error number 7H mentioned also disappears. The entries in the
error message area of the SYSTAT remain.

If the SYNCHRON is run through with errors I all the PC jobs which
were set to ttnuming" during the restart phase are also termin-
ated with the error number 7H. (16H 1s once again entered in
SYSTAT).
Following this, new PC jobs (except SYNCHRON) are blocked with

•
the message "not ready" (no. 818 in the PAFE byte of the corre-
sponding job).

79
 B8S76541-03 Printer PT8S/PT89

12.4.3 Switch SettfDgs RIJRjSTOP/fGIl

The settings of the mode selector on the front panel of the

CP 525 have the following significance:

• BIJR

The PT88 interpreter processes jobs arriving from the CPU (condi-
tion: a SYNCHRON job has nm through without errors).

The LEOs of the loaded :Interfaces are no longer lit on the front
panel of the CP 525.

• S'l'OP or rca
These switch settings are identical. Jobs arriving will be
rejected with an error message as follows:

- PC jobs (SEND) are terminated with the error number CH in the

condition codeword. The error n\Dl1ber 27H is written into
SYSTAT.

Svltcbing die selector faD BIJR 1:0 S'l'OP/MR.

If a job is currently being processed it will be completed, i.e.

processed without an error message.

Depending on the number of pieces of data to be output, it may

take some time before the CP 525 goes over to the STOPjPGR state.
This transition is indicated by the LEns on the front panel
lighting up.

SwitChing t:be selector faD S'l'OP/PGR. t:o lUll

The interpreter once again starts to process jobs. The lED on the
front panel goes off (if the interpreter and procedure are
loaded). Changing the selector setting does not trigger a cold
restart on the CP 525.

80
 B8576541-03 Printer PT8S/PT89

If a part of the interface or the whole interface has been re- .

loaded (transferred from the PG) the interface must be cold
restarted. In this case, change the selector setting from
"STOP/pGR." to "RUN", to perform a cold restart, or you can pres's
the "cold .restart" key on the PG. The mode selector on the OP
must be set to "RUN".

12.4.4 TnmsferrfDg:frallt:he PC

If the transfer of the procedure, interpreter, or PC jobs is

triggered at the PG. the software on the CP 525 goes into a wait
state. In the wait state the LED of the interface affected lights
up on the front panel.

The transfer is started only when the program to be transferred

differs from the program already loaded in the CP 525. For this
reason the PG first reads the program in the OP and compares it
byte for byte with the program to be transferred. The transfer
can take place regardless of the setting of the mode selector.

Before the OP 525 software goes into the wait status (indicated
by the lighting up of the LEns on the front panel), the job
currently being processed is completed without an error message.
Depending on the number of pieces of data to be output, this may

•
take some time.

With the software in the wait state no PC jobs can be processed -

"overload" will be indicated. This can be recognized by error
message number 91H in the PAFE byte of the corresponding job. In
rare cases it can happen that a PC job will be "terminated with
error" before the PAFE error message (no. 6H in the condition
codeword and l1H in SYSTAT). In this case, the PC was tmable to
recognize the "overload" early enough.

81
B8576541-03 Printer PT8SjPrS9

Following the transfer, the software remains in the wait state

tmtil you cold restart the interface - either with the "cold
restart" key on the PG or by using the mode selector on the CP
(switching from S'1'OPjPGR to RUN).

Following the cold restart, the LEOs on the front panel go off if
the program transferred is correct and complete. A SYNCHRON job.
is no longer required after the transfer.

13 LAUFPT88 Procedure

Section 13 contains information about the procedure LAUFPT88 as

follows:

- procedure data
- transmitting with the LAUFPT88 procedure
- receiving with the LAUFPT88 procedure

13.1 Procedure Data

The LAUFPT88 procedure controls the data flow between your OP 525
and the PT88/P1'89 printer. Within the CP S2S, the interpreter
transfers the data to be transmitted to the procedure into output
buffers. The procedure then has the data output on the printer.

If the printer sends characters to the CP 525, these are handled

by the IAUFPI'88 procedure as follows:

- they are recognised as control characters and processed, or

- the characters carmot be recognized and the procedure signals a
non-recoverable error to the interpreter which passes this on
to the cpu. An error number is entered in the condition code-
word or in the error message area of the SYSTAT (see Section 17
"Error handling"). .

•
The LAUFPT88 procedure is an asynchronous bit serial transmission
procedure. The transmit and receive data rates (baud rates) op.
the OP 525 and on the connected printer must be the same (i.e.,
there are no timing lines between the two devices).

Both COIluol and :lDfOJ:lD8tloD. characters are transmitted on the

data lines. The control characters used, ED' (13H) and XIII
(118), are described in Section 13.2.2 ''Mode of control with the
IAUFPT88 procedure".

To check that the transfer takes place without errors, the infor-
mation bits are "encapsulated" by further bits.

83
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

The order of the bits are as follows:

SA = start bit
1* = information bit no.
PA = parity bit
SO = stop bit

The following parameters are fbed and cannot be changed with

COM 525:

- character length: 7 bits (fixed)

- priority: low (fixed)

13.2 Transmitting with the LAUFP1'88 Procedure

13.2.1 Dam Tr:aDsfer

If the interpreter transfers a SEND job to the IAUFPI'88 proce-

dure, the procedure goes into the transmit mode; i.e., it trans-
mits the data in the current output buffer to the printer (if the
printer is ready to receive). Once the procedure has output the
entire contents of the buffer it terminates the transmit mode
I

and waits for new jobs.

13.2.2 JfocJe of CoDtEol of the IA1JP'Pl88 PmceduEe

To guarantee the correct transfer of data between the OP 525 and

the PT88/PI'89 printer, the following mode of control is used:

- control with the character XOFF (13H) and XON (llH)

•
nXOFF" means: printer not ready to receive
"XON" means: printer ready to receive

The PT88/PI'89 sends these control characters to the CP 525 to

signal its current status to the CP. These characters are trans-
ferred by the printer regardless of the interrface used
(V.24/V.28 or TTY).

85
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

ControlliDg data transmission with the XDW/KfJi protocol:

The LAUFPT88 procedure can adopt the following statuses:

- idle state
- transmit mode

In both statuses the procedure is capable of receiving XOFF or

XON.

If the IAUFPT88 procedure receives either of the control charac-

ters while in the idle state, it records the status of the prin-
ter internally. If a data transmission is then to be started
(procedure is to change from idle state to transmit mode) t it can
take place only if the printer is in the XON state, i . e., if

- the printer has paper and ink

- it is switched online

If the IAUFPT88 procedure receives the control character XOFF

while in the transmit mode, the transmit mode is interrupted and
a maximum of two further characters output. At the same time, a
waiting time of one minute is started. If the procedure receives
the control character XON during this time, it continues the
output. If it does not receive the character within this time it
signals the interpreter that the waiting time has elapsed and
that the printer is not ready to receive. An error number is
entered in the condition codeword or in the error message area of
SYSTAT (see Section 17 "Error handling"). This situation could
have the following causes:

- no more paper
- no more ink
- printer is switched offline

If the printer is once again ready to receive (XON is received).

the data transfer is continued.

86
 88576541-03 Printer PT88/PI'89

13.3 Receiving with the IAUFPr88 Procedure

Only the control characters XON and XOFF are received' and pro-
cessed by the procedure. Other characters result in error mes-
sages being sent to the interpreter (check the condition codeword
or error message area of· the SYSTAT). A break on the line is also
signalled as an error. Following these error messages, all the
jobs signalled to the procedure are aborted and the procedure
goes over to the wait state.

Example of transmitting m characters vitbout errors:

OP 525 - procedure LAUFPT88 PT88/PI'89

1 character ---------------------------->
2 character
.. ---------------------------->
k character ---------------------------->
(k+l) character
<---------------------------- XOFF
---------------------------->
(k+2) character ---------------------------->
<---------------------------- XON
(k+3) character ---------------------------->
(k+4) character ---------------------------->
m character ---------------------------->

Example of transmitting m characters with error: •

CP 525 - procedure IAUFPr88 P'1'88/PT89

1 character ---------------------------->
2 character ---------------------------->
k character ---------------------------->
<---------------------------- character
BREAK/wrong
(k+l) character -~-------------------------->
(k+2) character ---------------------------->
no further characters are transmitted

14 MUltiprocessor Operation
Compared with single processor operation, multiprocessor oper-
ation requires even more that the programming of the indiviqual
CPUs and of the OP 525 be carefully matched.

The more complex the application, the greater the care that must
be taken to ensure that the CPU munbers and data block numbers
for the dynamic values of lists and frames in the CP 525 are
correctly specified.

If several epus are to supply jobs to only one interface of the

OP 525, the STEP 5 user programs of these CPUs must be coordi-
nated.

If jobs with the same job n\Dllber are programmed on more than one
CPU (e.g. SHLs), the STEP 5 user programs must be designed so
that at anyone time only one CPU can start one of these jobs.
All other epus must wait tmtil this job is signalled as "com-
pleted" with or without errors. Only then can this job be started
by another CPU.

88
 B8576S41-03 Printer PT88/Pl89 .

The jobs (SML, CHI., PSL, new page, etc.) can be divided into the
following two groups:

- jobs progranuned only once on the CP 525

- jobs progranuned more than once on the OP 525

Recommendations for multiprocessor operation are arranged

according to these groups.

For more information on the individual jobs see the corresponding

sections in this user's guide.

14.1 Jobs Programmed Only Once on the CP 525

The following jobs belong to this group:

- sequential message list (SHL)

- current message list (CHI.)
- new page
- reset page number
- update PSL

The common factor among these jobs is that each job has a fixed
name and can therefore be programmed only once on a CP 525 :Inter-
face.

•
SML and CKL differ from other jobs in that data must be trans-
ferred from the CPU to the CP 525 before it is executed ..

14.1.1 Jobs vidloal: Data Tnmsport

When using the jobs "new page, reset page number and update SML"
remember that the same job rmmber is used for the same job on
each CPU.

89
 B8576S41-03 Printer PT88jPT89

14.1.2 Jobs v11:h Data _

With the SML and CML jobs, remember that you must use the same
job munber for the same job on each CPU.

The following points should also be remembered.

Once the CPU has triggered a job, it makes a data block available
to the OP 525 that contains the dynamic values for the message.
With an SML, this is the DB K RECORD. With CHL, it is the DB H
OlDNEW', which images the disturbances in the plant. The CPU
informs the OP 525 by means of the SML or CKL job that the data
block can be fetched.

If the CP 525 receives this job, it determines which CPU sent the
job and requests the data block from this CPU. As soon as it
receives the data block, the OP has the corresponding message
texts output on the PT88jPT89.

Any em can have the messages ouI:p1t via any CP 525 i£ it has
message tens p~i1IIIDecl OIl the CP 525.

Note:
- On one CP 525, one message number is assigned to coe message
text. This is output regardless of which CPU initiated the job.
- When progr81DlD1ng the messages with COM 525, do not specify' a
CPU number.
- Make sure that the message numbers are distributed efficiently
on the individual CPOs.

90
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

Depending on the application the following procedure is

recommended:

• UsfDg several. cpu·s vit:b cae CP S2S :ID me PC

- Select a CPU on which the messages from all the CPUs in the PC
can be collected.
- Have all the messages prepared on this CPU and passed on to the
OP 525.
This process avoids having the same message number assigned on
more than one CPU.

• UsfDg ODe CPU vlt:h several. CP 525·s in cae PC

If you wish to output various message texts via the individual

CPs proceed as follows:

- program the CPs so that you store only one message text for
each message number OIl only ODe CP 525 (although all the
message numbers appear on all the CPs)
- implement your STEP 5 user program on the CPU so that the data
blocks (DB H RECORD or DB H OLDNEW) are sent to all OP 525s.

S:lnce the Of 525 ignores all messages for which it does not have
a message text programmed the required message text is output
I

only via one CP 525, i f the CP has a pr:fnter comected.

If you want to output the same message texts via several OP 52Ss,
you must allocate the same message text to the same message
n\Dllbers •

• UsfDg several. CPU's aDd severa1 CP 525s in «me PC

See recommendations for the following:

- using several CPUs with one OP 525 in one PC

- using one CPU with several OP 5258 in one PC

14.2 Jobs which Can Be Programmed More Than Once

on the CP 525, Including Frames

This group includes the following:

- process status list (PSL)

- chained list ceL)
- update group frihibit bits (update GIB)

- frame

When programming the OP 525 with COM 525 you determine for this
group of jobs

- which data block" is to be fetched

- from which CPU

(for the output of the dynamic values or for updating the group
inhibit bits).

As soon as any CPU has sent a job to the OP 525) the OP 525
requests the pmgraIIIDec1 data block from the Cpu) which has been
specified for this job :In the OP 525 user program. The specified
CPU does not need to be the one which initiated the job.

It is advisable, to select the same CPU for the start of a job

and for the supply of data. This avoids

- attempting to fetch data for a job from a non-existent CPU or

- the data block fetched from another CPU not matching the job
initiated.

15 Memory Assignment, Memory Space Regl,lirements

The OP 525 requires the following:

- loadable softvue (for the specf£ic _ )

- user pEopams for specf£ic t:asks

Loadable software and user programs for specific tasks are stored
on the plug-in memory submodule (RAM or EPROM). The amunt of
memory space required depends on the particular component and the
extent of your user programs.

The following sections provide you with the following:

- an overview of the space requirements (graphic representation)

- a detailed description with tables
- examples you can use to calculate your own memory space
requirements

The information can only take the form of guidelines with which
you can estimate the memory space you require. The figures ought
to help you determine the minimum capacity your memory submodule
needs to handle your requirements. The figures quoted in the
following pages are arranged so that the memory requirements
calculated tend towards the maximum requirement .

Using the COM 525 information function you can obtain detailed
information about programs which have already been generated (see
user's guide "Programming package COM 525" in this manual) or
using special PROM 525 functions (see user's guide "PROM 525"). •
93
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jP'r89

The following is an overview of the memory space required on the

memory submodule.

15.1 Loadable Software

You can use the CP 525 for the following:

- the computer link with RK 512

- event output and listing on the PT88/PT89 printer

For each of these components there is special software. To avoid

putting wmecessary load on the limited amount of memOry capacity
of the OP 525, this software is not usually stored on the CP 525.
The software you require for your particular applica:tion is
loaded in plug- in memory submodules (BAM or EPROM).

The loadable software both for the computer link and for the
printer PT88/PI'89 includes the following:

- procedure implements the data exchanges with the cormected

partner (computer, other PC, PT8S printer ... )
and
- interpreter processes the user programs that are programmed
with COM 525

15.1.1 Ileiwzl BequirelDeD1:S of the lnadable Software

The loadable software always occupies 2 z 8 Ibytes of memory on

the plug-in memory submodule of the CP 525. This means that
8 Kbytes are ·occupied per interface regardless of wh~ther the OP
525 is being operated on one or both interfaces, and also regard-
less of whether the component computer link and/or printer
PT88/PI'89 is being used.

96
 88576541-03 Printer PT88/F1'89.·

15.2 User Programs for Specific Tasks '

The loadable software for the printer component alone does not
allow the CP 525 to execute the printing function. It does not
yet mow what it should list for your special application,

- messages or process status list

- which static texts go with which dynamic values
- from which CPU and from which DB it will obtain the data

This 1s determined when you program your CP 525 user program with
the COM 525 programming package. After programming, you can use
the PO to load the user program into the memory submodule of .the
CP 525 (RAN or !PROMO.

15.2.1 Directory (IIemDry JlaDagement)

The printer PT88/PI'89 component includes the user program made up

of individual program elements (from now on called simply
elements). These are

- messages
- :&ames
- PC jobs

To enable the Of 52S as well as COM 525 to access these elements

•
quickly, they are stored "systematically" with their name, ad-
dress, length, type etc. All these specifications are contained
in an "address book" called directory from now on. The directory
also occupies space in the memory submodule as follows:

- basic requirement
- subdirectory for messages
- subdirectory of the PC jobs and frames

With up to 1000 messages per interface, it is extremely important
that no byte is wasted, although the messages can have different
lengths (1 - 132 characters).

Short: access times

The messages must be fO\Dld quickly and output on the printer.

IllIPOIl'lAR'l'l: messages are not identified by names or job

numbers but rather by the message numbers.

98

15.2.1.2 Direct:oEy of PC Jobs aDd Frames

The subdirectory of PC jobs and frames is designed to accommodate

the great variety of sizes of the elements: e.g.,
- a PSL can be a maximum 99 lines long
- the PSL line can contain up to 40 variables
- the PSL line can be up to 132 characters long
A PSL can be 100 characters long or 40000 characters long.

Note:

PC jobs are identified in two ways as follows:

- by their names, when they are processed using COM 525 (when
they are first specified, modified or deleted)
- by their job numbers when they are processed on the OP 525.
(Galls by the CPU use only the job number).
•
The directory of PC jobs and frames must contain all this infor-
mation and consequently differs from the directory of messages.

99
B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

The memory requirements for the subdirectory of the PC jobs and

B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

Note on programming the two interfaces of the OP 525 with printer

PT88/PT89 is as follows:

The user memory of the OP 525 is divided into memory pages, each
with 8 Kbytes. The directory of the user program is established
on one memory page and the elements are continuously written to
the other memory pages.

The printer on one interface can use only memory pages on which
the printer of the other interface has not yet written data. For
example, i f printer 1 has used 1 Kbyte of a memory page, printer
2 cannot use the 7 Kbytes remaining on this page; i . e ., these 7
Kbytes remain unused.

When you calculate the memory requirements the calculated program

.lengths must be rotmded up to whole multiples of 8 Kbytes.

102
B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

15.2.2 Element; Types 8Dd Elements

The OP 525 user program contains everything the CP 525 requires

to carry out the tasks selected by the user. For the printer
PT88/Pr89 component the user program includes the following indi-
vidual element types: •

- messages
- PC jobs (PSL, SML, update GIB ••• )
- ftames

The element types are further divided into single elements. The
structure of the individual elements is simUar. 'Ibey always "
include the following:

- one element header

- one or more CQI'IDIDds

103
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

Element header

This header contains all the central data and commands for the
element as follows:
- control information
- name of the list header and/or list trailer
- CPU no., DB no. (source address for the dynamic data)
- etc.
The memory required for the element header varies depending on
the element type.

eclimaDds

Commands include the ea-and code and parameters.

The command code instructs what is to be done with the parameters

which follow.

Examples:

command: PRINT "today is Monday"

therefore:
command code ~ PRINT (stored as code)
parameter: today is Monday"

command: SET AT1'RIBUTES TO: "bold on", "acoustic signal on"

therefore:
command code = SET ATTRIBUTES TO (stored as code)
parameter: ''bold on" and "acoustic signal on" (stored as code)

Parameters

Parameters can be the following:

- texts
- CPU number
- DB number
- address, e.g. DR 123, DW 15
- name (e.g. of ·frames) etc.

104
B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

This brief introduction illustrates that not only the' texts to be

output require space in the memory, but also that large amOunts
of additional information (commands, parameters) are also re-
quired before a message can be printed out as you require.

In addition, another directory is required to ensure that the

elements can be fOWld quickly.

The more dynamic data you bring into a text, the more often you
change the print attributes; the more elements (PSLs, frames,
messages) you program, the more memory space will be required.

The following sections shOW' you how much space the various e~~­
ments require and how much space the corresponding directory
takes up. The information must be considered as a guideline so
that you can estfate the total memory space required. The guide-
lines help you to decide whether the memory submodule installed
1s suffic1ent for your requirements. The calculated requirements
always tend towards maximum values. Exact formulae are extremely
complex and impossible to use because of the large number of
combinations that can be programned.

105
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88JPT89

15.2.2.1 Jlessages

A max~ of 1000 messages can be programmed per CP 525 inter-

face. Messages are not identified by names or job numbers but
rather by message n\Dllbers. There is a separate directory for
messages. The memory requirements for the directory depend on the
number of messages programmed.

This is always the maximum space required; taking into account

the following:
- date always DMY and source "DB"
- time always HMS and source "DB"
- changes of attribute
- address in DB greater than 99 (3 digits)

2 x (k + 1) list trailer (k = no. of chars. in frame name) *
Sum L sum of the memory required for the individual
PSL lines (L)
(max. 99 lines per PSL possible)
this is calculated using -the same formula as
for individual frame lines (see 15.2.2.2)

The memory requirement for the directory must be added to these

requirements (as in 15.2.1).

IIeIIIory nqafrements for the cIyDam.fc. varlables in a PSL 1fDe

Memory requirements for the dynamic variables in a PSL line are

different depending on the type of variable. You can calculate
the requirements by using the following table:

Memory required For

(:In bytes)

17 basic requirement
13 date or time
18 process variable
process status variable:
6 + nl nl == no. of chars. in text for process status 1
6 + n2 n2 = no. of chars. in text for process status 2

6 + n8 n8 = no. of chars. :In text for process status 8

space is required only for process statuses

that have been programmed'

Note:

'11lese memory requirements are always the maximum space required;

they take into account the following:
- date always DHY and source "DB"
- time always HMS and source "DB"
- changes of attribute
- address in DB greater than 99 (3 digits)

By reducing any of these you can save space. •

16 special Jobs carried out by the CPU

Section 16 contains information about the following:

- the error message area of the SYSTAT

- the identification area SYSID
- the reading and writing of the date and time

16.1 Reading the Error Message Area of the SYSTAT

The error message area of the SYSTAT is a data area in the dual-
port RAM of the CP 525. After the CP 525 recognizes an error it I

enters the corresponding error number in the error message area

of the SYSTAT. You decide how the CPU is to react in your STEP 5
user program on the CPU.

The CPU reads the error message area of the SYSTAT for the speci-
fied OP interface by means of the job

IlECKlVE DIRF.C.r 200

The area in the CPU (destination area) to which the error message
area is to be transferred, is fixed when you assign parameters to
the RECEIVE DIRECT 200 data block. 'l1le dest:fnation length must be
at least two words.

RECEIVE DIRECT 200 is executed only when an error number has been
entered in the error message area of the SYSTAT since only then
I

is the bit "RECEIVE - job ready" set in the ANZW (bit 0).

Note: in some cases (e.g., if no SYNCHRON has been nm or if

start-up errors occurred in the CP 525) the error message area
cannot be read by RECEIVE DIRECT 200 (cf. note in 16.3).

124

Struet:am of dle dest::lDat~ area

If error numbers are entered :In the error message area they are
located (after they have been read by RECEIVE DIRECT 200) in the
selected area in the CPU (e.g. in the data block).

note: this bit is always set if there
is an error entry - i . e. with this
you can check whether data were
transferred with RECEIVE DIRECT 200

bit 2 0 no error overflow (max. 3 error

(0) entries)
1 error overflow (more than 3 errors)

bit 1 0 no BREAK currently on the interface

(B)
1 BREAK on the interface
note: bit 1 only shows the instantan-
eous status and does not always mean
an error. The error status BREAK is
determined only by the error number
in DRO, DLl and DRl. The current
BREAK status can only be indicated
here i f the interpreter and procedure
are loaded and have been startedt,

bit 0 0 printer ready to receive

16.2 Resetting (Clearing) the Error Messaqe Area

The CPU resets the error message area of the SYSTAT (according to
interface numbers) with the job

JUmET DIBECr 200

All the entries are then cleared with the exception of the BREAK
bit (8).

IIIIPOB.7ANTI: the error message area of the SYSTAT is not cleared

by a SYNCHRON call.

The CP 525 can enter up to three error numbers in the error

message area. FUrther errors cannot be signalled, unless the
"old" entries have been cleared. For this reason the error
message area must be reset in good time by a RESET DIRECT 200.

The destination area :In the CPU must also be reset.

16.3 Reading the Whole SYSTAT

In addition to reading the error message area of the SYSTAT, the
whole SYSTAT of the OP can be read by means of the job

IlKCKlVE DJBF.C.r 221

The area read then contains the error messages for both inter-
faces (:In bytes 4 to 10). This job can only be executed if there
are no error numbers entered. A destination length greater than
or equal to 16 bytes (8 words) is necessary.

Note: in some cases, (e.g., no SYNCHRON executed or error during

the start-up of the CP 525), the SYSTAT cannot be read by means
of RECEIVE DIRECT 221. It must then be read directly from the
dual-port RAM (from address F660H) 0'

128
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

The area transferred with this job is structured as follows:

Bit
7
I 6
I 5
I 4
I 3
I 2 1 o
Byte 0 irrelevant RUN STOP

1 irrelevant

2 sign of life

3 irrelevant PGR

4 E2 I 02 I B2 IR2 I El I 01 I 81 Rl

5 error number 1 IFl

6 error number 2 IF1

8 error munber 1 IF2

9 error number 2 IF2

10 error munber 3 IF2

11
12

reserved

The individual bits or bytes have the following significance:

•
RUN =1 mode selector switched to. RUN
STOP = 1 mode selector switched to STOP
PGR = 1 mode selector switched to PaR
Sign of life: this byte is incremented by 8 at regular intervals
on the CP

129
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

Bytes 4 to 10 cover the error message area for both interfaces

(see Section 16.1 - Reading the error message area of the
SYSTAT).
Error message area for IFl: bytes 5 to 7 and byte 4 (bits 0 to 3)
Error message area for IF2: bytes 8 to 10 and byte 4 (bits 4 to
7)

16.4 Reading the SYSID

An identification area is specified on each CP 525. Information

is written into the identification area SYSID of the CP 525;
i . e., you can find information about the following:

- the module
- the memory submodule
- the interface assignment etc.

By means of the job

IlECEIVE DlBEC'.r 223

the CPU can read the SYSID of the CP 525.

This is possible providing the field length is greater than or

equal to 128 bytes: i . e. the BLGR parameter in the SYNCHRON is
J

KY 0,4 / KY 0,5 / KY 0,6.

A destination length greater than or equal to 128 bytes is also

necessary.

If the field length is less than 128 bytes the message "completed
with errors" and the error number 7 is entered in the status byte
and the number lE in the error message area of the SYSTAT. The
SYSID area is not then transferred.

Note: the sysm can also be read directly from the dual-port RAM;
i.e., without handling blocks (from address F680H). For more in-
formation refer to the manual for your PC.

St:raet:m:e of t:he :l.deDtificaticD axea SISID

The 8Y8m contains a number of parameters that identify the CP.

Each parameter is canpleted with carr14ge return (OR. = ODH) -
also cO\D1ted in the byte specification. Parameters not assigned
consist simply of CR. Some parameters have a different signifi-
cance depending on the memory submodule types. All the parameters
. are represented in ASCII.

16.5 CP 525: Reading and Writing the Date and Time

A CP 525 must be designated either t~e master or time slave.

Time slave: after powering up, the OP reacts at first as a time

slave. It can update its own date and the time; how-
ev~r, the CPU camot read this.

Time BlISter: the master provides the system time; i. e., it must
be able to make this available at any time.

If the CPU wishes to synchronize the CPs (at regu-

lar :Intervals or when certain events occur), it··
reads the system time from the time master and sets
all the time slaves to this time. This relieves the
time slaves of mmecessary updating tasks.

The CPU can set the date and time on a CP 525 at any time. It
can, however, read the date and time of the OP 525 only if the
latter has been designated time master.

133
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/PT89

The date/time area transferred during writing or reading. is

structured as follows:

Byte Significance

0 bit 0: master id. 1 = master

o == slave

1 0

2 1 1
/10 s 1100 s
3 s

4 min

5 h

6 day

7 month

8 year

9 0

In a word transfer. byte 0 corresponds to the left half of the

first data word; byte 1 the right half of the first data word.
The date and time are coded in BCD.

~e accuracy of the clock is 1/10 s. This means that the position

/l00 s in byte 2 of ~e date/time area is always o. When the
time is written, the 1100 s are not accepted.

134
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88/Pl'89 0

The job number 218 is fixed on the OF 525 for the jobs "read /
write date and time".

smm DlBEC'l 218

Using thi·s job, the CPU declares the CP as master or slave. At

the same time the CPU can also transfer the date and time to the
OP.

Whether the CPU transfers the date and time depends on the source
length specified (QLAE = length of the data to be transferred):

The OP 525 is declared as master/slave by means of the contents

of bit 0 (least significant bit) in the first byte; master: bit 0
- 1 / slave: bit 0 = O.

During the start-up or in a warm restart of the CPU, the SEND

DIRECT 218 with QLAE == 1 and master bit = 1 for the CP which is
to be master must be called up. The date and time on the OP 525
are not changed by QIAE = 1.

QIAE == 5 -.mts

•
The CP is declared as master/slave by means of the master identi..
fier and the date and time are transferred.

Remember that when transferring the time to a master which is to

remain as master, you must set the master identifier.

You should also take into accotmt that the date and time are
adopted by the OP only during the handshake (synchronization via
inputs or after reading a different clock).

Note: the source area from which the data are transferred to the
CP should be a data block.

135
 B8576541-03 Printer PTBS/PT89

Note:

The OP 525 can be declared as time master on one or both inter-

faces. The date and time can only be read on the interface on
which the CP is declared as master.

If the CP is declared as master Oil an interface and then as slave

on the other interface, the CP becomes time slave on both inter-
faces. For example, the following situation occurs: when the
date/time from the first interface is read, the error number IF
is entered in SYSTAT. When the second interface is read, the
handshake is not carried out, since the bit "RECEIVE - job ready"
in the ANZW (bit 0) is not set. No error message is output.

A SYNCHRON does not influence the master-slave function.

RKCKIVE DIRECT 218

By means of this job the CPU can read the date and time from the
OP (if the CP has already been declared time master with SEND
DIRECT 218.

The destination length must be five words. Again the destination

area should be a data block.

Note: the data read only has meaning if the date and time have
been set at least once since the module was plugged in (with SEND
DIRECT 218; length: five words).

17 Error Handling
Errors occurring while the CP 525 is operating with the PTBSI
PT89 can have different causes as follows:

• on the Pr88jPT89 (e.g.)

no more paper
no more ink
printer offline
printer switched off

• in the link between the OP 525 and Pl'88/PT89 (e.g.)

cable disconnected
cable defect
wrong cable

• on the CP 525 (e.g.)

wrong memory submodule

no memory submodule plugged in
job not programmed
memory submodule not programmed
error in user program
hardware fault
overflow of message FIFO
• on the CPU of the PC (e.g.)

incorrect data (various causes possible)

error during data exchange between CP 525 and CPU

Errors detected by the CP 525 are signalled to the CPU with as

much detail as possible. You determine how the CPU is to react in
your STEP 5 program on the CPU (for more details see Section 16).

138
 B8576541-0S Printer PT88jPT89

You can for example have the following:

- an error message printed out on the PT88/PT89 - possibly via

another Of 525 or via the other interface of the same CP 525
- the errors displayed with messages on a monitor (e. g.; with the
OP 526)
- the job·repeated

If there is a BREAK on the cormection line, i . e. either the cable

has been withdrawn or is defective or the printer is switched
off, all incoming jobs are aborted with the BREAK error.

Errors are signalled to you by the following:

- an error number in the PAPK byte of the handling block (1. )

- an error number in the condition codeword M.fZW of the handling
block (2.)
- an error number in the error message area of the SIS'lAT (3.)

1. DIe error mmber in the PAlE byte of die band] lug block (BOB)

The PAFE byte is a parameter you specify when an IIDB is called.

The handling blocks write to the PAFE byte if serious errors
occur in connection with a CP or if parameters are incorrectly
specified. If you receive a PAFE error number, this means that

•
the data exchange between the CPU and the OP either is not
started or was aborted.

A detailed description of the PAFE byte error messages can be

found in the description "Using the handling blocks" in this
handbook.

IJIIRIlDlflI: after transferring a part of a program from the PG

to the CP, the error numbers 918 and C1B can occur even if there
is no error. If this occurs on your system, first repeat the job
affected.

139
B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

The condition codeword .ANZW is also a parameter you specify when

calling an IIDB. With direct jobs (SEND DIRECT, FETCH DIRECT,
RECEIVE DIRECT), ANZW indicates whether the job is rwming or was
completed. If the job was completed with an error, an error
number is entered in bits 8 to 11 in the ANZW. Bit 3 is also set:
"job terminated with error".

IllIPOB.T.ARTl: an error number is only entered in ANZW i f the error

occurred during the processing of a DIRECT job!

Since only four bits are available for the error munbers in ANZW,
one error number normally indicates one of several error states.
Because of the limited number of error munbers·, the ANZW is
suitable for evaluation by the STEP 5 user program.

140
 88576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

,
The errors are distinguished by the various sources of error as
follows:

No. for ANZW Source

1 to 6' error in data exchange between CPU and CP 525

7 system error at the start of job processing

job carmot be executed, not progranmed on the

CP

error triggered by handling block

data block contains errors

9 overflow of the message FIFO

A errors in the dynamic parts :In the PSL and

frame

F errors in the data exchange between CP 525 and

P1'88/PT89

Descriptions of the errors can be fOWld in the tables on the

•
following pages.

Rote: a status byte is reserved in the dual-port RAM for each of

the 223 possible jobs. If the OP detects an error in connection
with a DIRECT job_ it writes the error number and the bit "job
terminated with error" in the status byte of the corresponding
job in the dual-port RAM. To have the job status shown in the
condition codeword, either
- the CONTROL DDS in the STEP 5 program must be called with the
corresponding job number in the cycle (OB!), or
- the DIRECT job (SEND DIRECT) must be called with the command JU
and RLO=O.

See also the description "Using the handling blocks u· in this

manual.

3. the error muribers in the error message area of t:he S!STAT

The error message area of the SYSTAT is a data area in the dual-
port RAM, which can be read by the CPU using the special job
RECEIVE DIREOT 200. For each interface the error message area of
the SYS~T covers three error message bytes and an additional
status byte. A detailed description can be fOtmd in Section 16
"Special jobs carried out by the CPU".

A1.1 errors recognized by the OP are entered in the error message

area of the SYSTAT. If the error occurs in connection with a
DIRECT job) an error munber is also entered in the condition
codeword.

The error entry in the SYSTAT is so detailed that it is particu-

larly suitable for exact error analysis during commissioning. A
programmed evaluation of individual error numbers is also
possible.

The special job RECEIVE DIRECT 200 should be called up in OBl to

read the error message area in the SYSTAT during the conunission-
ing phase. You can recognize the occurrence- of errors by bit 0 in
the ANZW of the RECEIVE DIRECT 200 being set to 1 by the OP.
These error numbers are then copied into the data block specified
as a parameter. If a programmer is connected to the CPU of the
PC, you can display the errors directly on the monitor in the
operating mode "STATUS variable" or "CONTROL variable".

To clear the error entries in the SYSTAT, call the special job
RESET DIRECT 200 (for more details see Section 16).

142
 B8576541-03 Printer PT88jPT89

The errors are arranged according to the various ca~es as

follows:

No. for SYSTAT Source

1 to 14 error in data exchange between CPU and PC

15 to 1F system error at the start of jo~ processing

20 to 2E job cannot be executed

There is no remedy with power on. When cold restarting the CP

from the PG you should make sure that no more CPU jobs are
running before writing to an interface. The SYNCHRON IIDB cleIJrs
the job statuses in the dual-port-RAH but not the SYSTAT entry!

Check STEP S program.

For SYNCHRDN the field length should be greater than or equal to

128 bytes or do without "Read SYSID" (data are nevertheless
avaUable in the dual-port RAM).

Before reading the date/time, the CP must be designated as master

18 What Does I t Mean When?

Vhat does it mean when fill jug characters are output by the
prfnt:er7

cause: the data in the data block of the CPU could not be
converted.
Remedy: the CP 525 signals the error to the CPU. Check under the
corresponding error nwnber for the ANZW and for SYSTAT
(Section 17 "Error handling").

Note: lists that contain filling characters are printed out

completely. The job is, however, signalled as "terminated
with error".

Vhat does f.t mean 1Ihen CItL. PSL or CL can be :internJptecl by

messages; d1e messages axe. however. ooly printed out at t:he eDd
of die lists?

cause: to have messages printed out of order, the CP 525 must be

informed that an SML has been programmed. It is aware of
this as soon as the job "SML" has been initiated as least
ooce following a cold restart or a SYNGHRON.

Remedy: initiate SML after a cold restart or SYNGHRON (e.g. with

empty DB H RECORD).

What does it mean when t:he PC writes t:o the CP 525 (ttansfer.
delete) but; the operatiDn is DOt carried oat?

Gause: the CP 525 is processing a job and cannot be interrupted.

As soon as the CP 525 can carry out the PG job the LED on
the device interface wUl light up.

188
BS576541-04 Printer PT88/PT89

What does it JDeaD when die date and time aze Oid:pd: :Incorrectly?

cause: If a data block has been specified as the source for date
and time, the data must be entered in the specified data
word in the following order:

DL DR
time: DWn S M S z= seconds / M == minutes
DW n+l H H == hours

date: DWm D H D == day / M = month

DW m+l y Y = year

Remedy: The data must be stored in the data word as described.

Note: If the data is read with the RECEIVE DIRECT 218 job,
it is entered in the data block as shown below:

DV no. DL DR
time: n ms S
n+l H H
date: n+2 D M
n+3 y

Note that your STEP 5 user program enters the time in the
data word as shown beside *). Only then is the time

•
output correctly.

189
 88576541-04 Printer PT88/PT89

What does it mean whea an UIN8Ilted fOJ:lll feed takes place during
t:he ClUI:pE of a list?

cause: If the lines to be output are longer than the page width,
then line overflow must result. This is not recorded, so
that the internal line count no longer agrees with the
actual number of lines printed out.

Remedy: Only program individual lines up to the maximum length so

that no line overflow occurs.

What does it mean wheD fDdividual. lines are DOt printed out?

Gause: '!bese lines may belong to inhibited groups.

Remedy: Release the groups.

NOte: With SML it is possible that a list header wil~ be

printed out, but that no messages follow, since these are
inhibited.

What do I do i f the "fm:m feed" job is initiated but is DDt

carried out?

Cause: If the printer head is at the start of a page the PrBSI

P1'89 ignores all jobs requiring a form feed. This saves
unnecessary waste of paper.

Note: When the power is switched on the printer interprets the

current print head position as the start of a page.

Vbat do :r do if a aIL is 1101: out:pd: coaectly?

Remedy: Before a CML is output, an SML must have been started at

least once t otherwise the CP 1s not aware of the
presettings.

1Ibat does it mean 1Jben l: ffnd that t:he pEOgLaaa saaetJmes fits the
BAH aDd .-et:iJDes does DOt. When I am t:raDs£erriDg die CP 525
user pmgna :fI:aa the PG t=o the CP?

cause: You may have transferred the whole program at one time;
and then another time transferred the parts of the
program separat:ely. When the. parts of the program are
transferred to the OP in a different order. the memory
manager may itself require more space, leaving less space
for the program.

Vbat do I do if I WIlt to traDsfer Dew pmana parts m the

secoaa deri.ce interface of t:he CP aDd error 709 ("8'oddDg

Remedy: Transfer the entire CP 525 user program to the second

interface. Before the "TOTAL PROGRAM" transfer, the
corresponding interface is first 4eleted.
