• Improved Difference Report at Download

Several improvements have been made in the difference report.
– Differences are categorized as mandatory and optional acknowledgement.
– It is possible to postpone acknowledgement of differences to a later point
in time during engineering phase.
• Task Analysis Tool
The task analysis tool in Control Builder has been made more easy to use. The
meaning of the different messages is now more precise. Time stamps have been
added to the warning and error messages in the summery view of the Task
Analysis tool, this makes it easier to relate between the messages and the
graph.
• Display of Unit Specific System Alarm and Event Generation
There is a new menu entry in Control Builder on hardware types called Unit
Specific System Alarm and Events. It brings up a new user interface that

3BSE033044-5112 15
New Functions in Version 5.1.1-1 Section 2 Functionality Changes

shows what system alarms and events a unit can generate. The information is
shown in Control Builder rather than being printed in a user manual.
• Heap Utilization Dialog Available in Online Mode
The controller heap utilization dialog in Control Builder is now available also
in online mode.
• Additional Caution Dialog at Download with Init Restart
An additional caution dialog is shown before download of changes in case the
user or the system suggested an init restart (i.e. loss of all cold retained values).
• Compiler Warning in case Data Type used for IAC has been changed
If the user changes a structured data type used for communication variables,
then the receiving controller will get ISP until both server and client have been
downloaded to.
With this new version, the user gets to know in advance in case a download of
changes includes changed data types that will cause ISP on any communication
variable.
• Allowed to Jump from Last Step in SFC
It is now possible to create a jump from the last step in an SFC. The operation
is not recommended and gives a color indication in the SFC. The color
indication should be Yellow but in this version, it is Red.

Control and I/O

• CI873 EtherNet/IP
The CI873 EtherNet/IP has been improved. It now supports master redundancy
by using two CI873s. The redundancy does not require the slaves to have the
EtherNet/IP redundancy connection method implemented.
There is now also support for native EtherNet/IP devices.
CI873 supports logical segment Class 1 connection for reading and writing
data to EtherNet/IP devices, and it originates Class1 for tag reading and Class 3
for tag writing to Allen Bradley Logix 5000 series PLCs.

16 3BSE033044-5112
Section 2 Functionality Changes New Functions in Version 5.1.1-1

The Industrial Ethernet Protocol (EtherNet/IP) is the combination of traditional

Ethernet and an industrial application layer protocol, called the Common
Industrial Protocol (CIP).
• CI868 Enhancements
The CI868 supports the IEC 61850 MMS protocol along with GOOSE protocol
and both the protocols can be operated in parallel. Engineering of IEC 61850
has been made easier by the removal of the IET tool usage.
The Control Builder IEC 61850 Wizard now has the capability to export the
created CI868 IEC 61850 configuration and allows to import one scd file per
CI868 Module. This decouples the substation and process automation
engineering processes, and eliminates the need for the IET tool.
IEC 61850 Wizard Tool improvements
– No dependency of Substation section in scd-file for import.
– No dependency of Control Builder project name for import.
– Storage and retrieval of scd-file from Control Builder.
– Generate CI868 CID / ICD file from configured Hardware tree under
CI868.
– Backward compatibility with SCD file generated from IET tool.
IEC 61850 MMS Client functionality for CI868 Module
– Receive RCB data from other IEDs and send MMS Control Commands.
– New function blocks in Control Builder application library
ProcessObjBasicLib for application of IEC 61850 SBO functionality in
IEC61131-3 programming.
– Support of Process Alarms and Events with IED Timestamp (with
AlarmCond FB).
• Self-defined UDP and TCP Communication
The new UDPCommLib and TCPCommLib contains function block types that
are used for self-defined UDP and TCP communication. These function blocks
are used when the controller needs to communicate with external equipment.
The used protocol is UDP and TCP, running on Ethernet.

3BSE033044-5112 17
New Functions in Version 5.1.1-1 Section 2 Functionality Changes

The function is similar to the already existing self-defined serial

communication, but on Ethernet. It uses the inbuilt CN1 and CN2 on the
PM8xx CPU. Redundancy is handled by RNRP.
• Support for DI818, DO818, DI828, DO828
This version supports four new S800 I/O modules on modulebus and
PROFIBUS via CI801/CI840.

– DO818 - 32 channel digital output for 24VDC
– DI828 - 16 channel digital input for High Voltage AC/DC
– DO828 -16 channel relay output for High Voltage AC/DC
• More memory with PM851A, PM856A, PM860A
These renewed CPUs have with this version more available memory:
– PM851A - Now 12 Mbyte total RAM
– PM856A and PM860A - Now 16 Mbyte total RAM
• Backup Media in PM891
Memory cards larger than 2GB can now be used in PM891, by the introduction
of support for SDHC and SDXC cards formatted as FAT32.
• Enhanced Integration of ABB Devices
This version brings new ways of integrating ABB Drives and Motor Starters
into AC 800M.
– Support for ABB standard drive ACS880 with FENA-11 and
PROFINET
The new hardware library - ABBDrvFenaCI871HwLib - provides
PROFINET connectivity to the ACS880 drive via the communication
adapter FENA-11.
– Support for ABB standard drives with FPBA-01 and PROFIBUS
The new hardware library - ABBDrvFpbaCI854HwLib - provides
PROFIBUS connectivity to ABB drives via the communication adapter

18 3BSE033044-5112
Section 2 Functionality Changes New Functions in Version 5.1.1-1

– New motor starters for MNS iS on PROFINET

The MNS iS hardware library - ABBMNSiSCI871HwLib - offers support
for the two new motor starter types - Sace Circuit Breakers (Sace CBR)
and DC Feeder (DC MFeed).
• Improved Analog Control
Several improvements have been made in the area of analog control.
– External Reset Feedback
The PidCC and PidAdvancedCC control modules have a new mode called
External Reset Feedback. The controller follows an auxiliary value in this
mode.
– Disable PD part
It is now possible to disable the PD part at windup situations in the PidCC
and PidAdvancedCC control modules. This can be useful if an override
controller shall not take any action until its epsilon changes sign.
– Auto tuning flag
The PidCC and PidAdvancedCC control modules have a new parameter
indicating to the outside that auto tuning is currently being performed.
– Epsilon available as a parameter
The PidCC and PidAdvancedCC control modules have a new parameter
indicating the value of Sp-Pv.
– Gain Scheduling based on Epsilon
Gain scheduling based on the value of epsilon is added to the
PidAdvancedCC control module.
– Continuous Moving Average function
New control module, TimeAverageCC, that determines the moving
average of an analog input over a specified number of samples.
• Increased RNRP Area Numbers
To enable an increased number of network areas, the AC 800M Ethernet setting
Network Area now allows a maximum of 64 network areas.

3BSE033044-5112 19
Changed Functions in Version 5.1.1-1 Section 2 Functionality Changes

• Functions to convert an IP Address to/ from String/Dword

There are two new firmware functions to be used for conversion between
dword and a string value containing an IP address.
– DWordToIPString converts a dword to a string data type in an IP version 4
address formats.
– IPStringToDWord converts a string data type in an IP version 4 address
formats to a dword.

Changed Functions in Version 5.1.1-1

The following are the changed functions compared to Version 5.1.0/1.

Improved Control Builder compiler checks for in_out parameters

Code sorting has stricter checks for connections to extensible parameters with
direction in_out have been added. This could lead to code loop error when
upgrading, if improper use of the parameter has existed before.

Many mandatory items to acknowledge in Control Builder difference report at

download
Several improvements have been done to the source code and difference report for
new functionality.
One result of the changes is that all mandatory items must be acknowledged when a
download is performed from this version for the first time. The result may be that
many items in the difference report need to be acknowledged.

Unconnected Control Module string parameters no longer truncated to 40

characters length
In earlier versions initial value for unconnected string parameters has been truncated
to 40 characters independent on the defined string length. If the parameter was
connected, the length was limited by the connected variable. The length of
unconnected string parameter will now be as long as defined by the parameter
definition. For system generated strings the length will still be 40 characters.

Section 3 Compatibility and Known Problems Compatibility

Compatibility
Some Hardware Modules may have to be exchanged to new hardware revisions.
See Compatible Hardware Modules on page 26, for further information.
Listed Hardware Modules must be of stated version/revision or higher.
When upgrading, consideration should be given to memory usage in the
controller. The firmware size has grown, resulting in less free memory, compared
to previous versions (prior to 5.x), for user applications. The reduction primarily
concerns processor modules with small amounts of free memory (PM851,
PM856, and PM860) and to controllers including several types of CEX-modules.

Controller peer to peer communication is possible with other controllers running

Version 2.x/x, 3.x/x, 4.x.x/x or 5.x.x/x by means of Access Variables.

Supported Versions

Supported Versions for Coexistence of Controller Versions

Starting from Version 5 and installing newer versions of Control Builder and OPC
Server does not require a controller upgrade. Controllers with different firmware
versions can coexist in the same network, and newer versions of Control Builder and
OPC Server can connect to controllers of older versions (not older than Version 5).
All Control Builders and OPC Servers must be of the latest version in a running
installation.
Coexistence is supported between the controller versions listed in Table 3.

Continued. 71 If the override design uses several maximum and minimum selectors to
take the decision which controller branch is to be the active one, the
constraint controllers may be selected by, for example, a maximum
selector that is followed by a minimum selector to switch in and out the
main controller branch. In this configuration both unselected constraint
controllers need to decrease their output signal simultaneously to
become in control of the process.
If only one of these controllers is in the state of decreasing but is
prevented by the output signal of the other unselected constraint
controller, the first one will make a decrement test that will be prevented
and the controller output signal returns to the initial state where the
change of output started from. If the sign of epsilon on the testing
unselected constraint controller remains, this kind of test is repeated -
and again prevented. The start point of the unselected controller test
procedure is defined by the selected one. The size of this test in this
particular situation is limited by the tolerance settings in the selectors
and is normally very small - about 1% but may be adapted to the
process dynamics.

"faulty" duration values Builder.
If a literal was connected to a parameter of
duration type and there was a need for
converting the initial value, this resulted the
Control Builder to crash during compilation.
This occurred in some special cases,
for example, when conversion was done for
"0m60s". If the initial value was "1m" or
"60s", no problem occurred.
