Preface
Introduction
This publication defines the user-visible parameters that exist in the

ProcessLogix System. It also provides a listing of the parameter
attributes that are applicable to ProcessLogix function blocks.
Parameter Attriubutes
The following table describes the attributes used to define each
parameter. If an attribute does not appear for a specific parameter, it
is not applicable to that parameter.
Table P.1 Parameter Attribute Descriptions
vii
Attribute
Description
Specific to
Block(s)
Defines which function block (or blocks) the table applies to. If a
parameter has different properties for different function blocks, there
will be multiple tables for the parameter.
Description
Includes the full parameter name; additional information describing

its basic purpose or function may also be available.
Data Type
Defines how the parameter data is viewed by the system

(See Table P.2 on page viii for additional details.).
Range
Defines the range of values for the data type (also defines ranges for
ViewOnly parameters).
Default Value
Defines the value assigned to the parameter by the system when no

selection is made during control building.
Config Load
Determines whether the parameter value is stored to CEE or SR during

module load from builder.
Access Lock
Defines who or what can change the parameters value or option

(See Table P.3 on page ix).
Residence
Defines where the parameter physically resides and executes

(See Table P.4 on page x).
Active Connector
Denotes (Yes or No) whether the Parameter has an active connector.
Related
Parameters
Lists parameters that are related by their use at configurations and

operations times.
Remarks
Includes additional information that is important to the understanding,

use, and operation of the parameter.
Preface

Data Type
Multiple data types are supported in ProcessLogix. See Table P.2 for a
listing and description of these data types.

TIME
BlockId(1) / Entity ID
Self-Defining Enumeration(2)
(1)
BlockId - A BlockId parameter value is text describing a blocks name. Example BlockId values are
SCM3.Step7 and SCM7.
(2)
Self-Defining Enumeration (SDEnum) - This data type is just like an Enumeration, except the enumeration
members are user-defined. Parameter A being an SDEnum of B means that B (String data type) defines the
enumeration members for A (SDEnum data type).
TIP
The numerical suffixes - 16, 32, and 64 - indicate the

number of memory bits used to store the value;
Real32 is commonly called single-precision, and
Real64 is double-precision. The difference in the
Integers is just the supported range of values.
Preface
ix
Access Lock
The ProcessLogix system supports six access levels. Each parameter
includes an Access Lock attribute that defines what access level a
program or operator must have in order to change the value of the
parameter. See Table P.3 for lists of these access levels and to see the
relationship between the access lock and the access level.

Description
CEE
(Control Execution
Environment)
Supports execution of a set of function blocks for solving control

applications. It runs in the Hybrid Controller as a software layer
built on top of the control software infrastructure.
SR
(System Repository)
The file where all ProcessLogix server point data is stored.
ProcessLogix Server
ProcessLogix server:
Parameters resident at the server control how data for the point is
accessed or viewed by the operator, using the ProcessLogix Station
software.
TIP
All ProcessLogix parameters have attributes and/or

values stored within the Engineering Repository. In
addition, parameters of loaded blocks are stored in
one or more locations. These Repositories are the
ProcessLogix Run Time Repositories; SR, CEE and
server. Location within one or more of the Run Time
Repositories is described by the residency parameter
attribute.

Note that this flag is
set to TRUE for both
local errors
(communication
errors that
prevented the
request from being
sent out on the
network, for
example) and
remote errors (the
target device could
not process the
request and so sent
an explicit failure
status). For alarming
on errors, connect
the ERRFL to a Flag

OPEUX is a hidden
connection in Control Builder.
OPEUX is a two-part data
structure that contains:
OPEU (the output value in
engineering units) and a
status component. OPEUX
should be used when making
a cascade connection to a
secondary control block. The
OPEUX connection is
required in order for the
initialization path to be
established between the
primary and secondary
blocks.

Notes
The following rule is applied to OPHIALM.DB to prevent OPHI and OPLO alarm are both active at the
same time:
OPHIALM.DB <= (OPHIALM.TP - OPLOALM.TP)/2
(or PVLOALM.TP <= PVHIALM.TP - 2 PVLOALM.DB)
Individual alarm deadbands are not individually configurable. The ALMDB that is configured is
loaded to the block, then the block copies the ALMDB value to all the xxALM.DB of all analog
alarms on the block. This includes ALMDBU and ALMTM - thus, all analog alarms get the same
three values through a one-time configuration entering of the three values.
If desired, the individual alarm parameters (xxALM.DB, xxALM.DBU, and xxALM.TM) may be
modified after the block is loaded. The block load will always set all individual alarm parameters to
the three configured values.
When OPHIALM.DB is in Percent, the deadband units (OPHIALM.DBU) cannot be changed.

Notes
OPX is a two-part data

structure that contains: OP
(the output value in percent)
and a status component.
OPX can be used when
making a connection to an
AOC block. The OPX
connection is required in
order for the initialization
path to be established
between the Regulatory
Control (RegCtl) block and
the AOC block.
OPEUX can also be used in
the same capacity as the
OPX parameter.
This parameter will not
indicate any value (it shows
****) on the chart when the
pin is exposed.

ORDERINCM
Determines the relative

execution order of container
blocks when they execute
within the same cycle. Block

first. If user assigns the
same value to different
blocks, the CEE assigns a
distinct and repeatable
execution order (based on
the independent object
code), but does not change
the value of ORDERINCEE. In
this case, the user cannot
readily determine the order
of execution of any two
container blocks.
Note that ORDERINCEE can

ORDERINCEE,
PHASE, PERIOD
Determines the relative

execution order of
component blocks within a
Control Module (CM)
function block. In a given
CM, a block with a lower
value for ORDERINCM
executes before any block
with a higher value. If the
same value is assigned to
multiple blocks, the Control
Builder assigns a distinct and
repeatable execution order
(based on the dependent
object code), but does not
change the value of
ORDERINCM.
Note that ORDERINCM does
not apply to CM, IOM, SCM,
or SCM component blocks.
Other Notes
Enter a number to specify the desired
execution order for the block. For individual
function blocks, execution order specifies
the disignated order of execution of each
block relative to the other blocks in the
same Control Module. The block with the
lowest number in this parameter is
executed first, followed by the next lowest
and so on.

TYPE
A handler of TYPE is
assigned by setting
SELHANDLER [i] to that
handlers name (eg.
SCMName.HandlerName).
For example, to change the
selected Hold Handler (TYPE
6) to another named
Long-Hold, the assignment
SELHANDLER [6] =
LONGHOLD.Name would be
made. The recommended
method of deselecting a
handler of TYPE i is to set
SELHANDLER [i] = 0.
The selected handler of a
given TYPE can only be
changed if it is not currently
executing. The Main handler
selection cannot be changed
once the SCM transitions to
Running. The Interrupt
handler selection cannot be
changed if the currently
selected Interrupt handler is
being preempted. The Null
and Edit handler selections
cannot be changed by the
user or program.

of the SCM for each
handler type.
No
Engineer
CEE

SELHANDLER [1..8]
The index identifies the

handler type as follows:
1-Edit, 2-Main, 3-Check,
4-Interrupt, 5-Restart,
6-Hold, 7-Stop, 8-Abort.
SELHANDLERN [1] cannot be
changed. SELHANDLERN [i]
cannot be changed when
handler type i is active, e.g.
the selected Hold handler
cannot be changed (via
SELHANDLERN [6]) when the
SCM STATE is Holding.
Setting SELHANDLERN [i] to
a value of 2047 will cause
the default null handler to be
selected for handler type i,
which means having no
user-defined handler
selected.
An SCM can be used to
change the selected handler,
using an Output expression.
For example:
SCMName.SELHANDLERN
[7] :=
SCMName.StopHandlerNam
e.NUM.
This will change the selected
Stop handler to the handler
StopHandlerName.

To invoke SP ramping, the

Note: In order to store the
SPTV, target value
processing must be enabled
byt not running (i.e.,
SPTVOPT = Enable, and
SPTVSTATE = Off or Preset).

the function block is active,

NaN
Notes
If the function block has a SP and PV input, the user can specify a maximum ramp deviation
(SPTVDEVMAX). If the maximum deviation is exceeded, SP ramping will stop until PV catches up
with the SP.
SPTVDEVMAX is the maximum deviation allowed during set point ramping, in engineering
units/min.
Guaranteed Maximum Ramp processing works as follows:
SPTVDEVMAX may be NaN or greter than zero. NaN means do not check ramp deviation.
If SPTVDEVMAX is not NaN, set point ramping stops when the absolute value of the deviation
(|PV - SP|) exceeds SPTVDEVMAX. The deviation flag (SPTVDEVFL) is set, and SPTVSTATE
remains in Run.
Ramping resumes as soon as the absolute value of the deviation returns within the limit. When
ramping resumes, the deviation flag (SPTVDEVFL) is reset.
Note: If the user has specified a ramp time, and ramping is interrupted by Guaranteed Max Ramp
processing, then the actual ramp time will be greater than the user-specified time.

The Peer Update Rate (SUBSCPERIOD parameter is the rate at which
this CEE subscribes to data from other CEEs through peer-to-peer
communications. In the event of a peer-to-peer communications
problem such as a broken cable, the connection will timeout, returning
an error. The valid values and function of the DEFAULT value for
SUBSCPERIOD are different for the 50 and 5 ms CEE personalities as
described below.
50 ms CEE:

(peer-to-peer) it is important
to note that the timeout time
(TMOUTTIME) configured in
the RegCtl block is actually
in addition to the CDA
timeout of the peer
connection. The CDA
timeout is equal to 4 times
the CEE subscription rate.
For example, with a CEE
subscription rate of 100
milliseconds, and a
TMOUTTIME of 5 seconds,
the actual time (after data
can no longer be fetched)
before the RegCtl block
executes the timeout action
will be at least 5.4 seconds

Array Channel Block

Configuration for
Allen-Bradley Interface
About Allen-Bradley Interface

The Serial Interface Array Channel function blocks communicate with
Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) through the
Serial Interface I/O Module (SIM).
The SIM communicates with the Allen-Bradley (A-B) FTA. The A-B
FTA communicates with the Allen-Bradley KE/KF Computer Interface
Module (CIM) using EIA-232-D protocol at 19,200 baud with even
parity. The KE/KF module communicates with PLCs on an
Allen-Bradley Data Highway or Data Highway Plus using DF1
protocol with embedded responses. Direct connection to the PLC-5
RS-232 port is also supported. Refer to Allen-Bradley Data Highway
protocol manuals for details.
The Allen-Bradley PLC families supported are PLC-2, PLC-3, and
PLC-5. The PLC-5 family consists of the 5/10, 5/15, 5/25, 5/40, and
5/60 models.
AUXDATA Parameter Configuration

The following table summarizes the AUXDATA parameter
configuration that defines Serial Interface Array Channel block
communications with the Allen-Bradley PLC.
IMPORTANT
When the AUXDATA[07] parameters are not being

used with a Allen-Bradley interface, they should be
set to the default value of NaN (Not a Number).
B-2
Table B.1 AUXDATA Parameter Configuration

Parameter
Function
Description
AUXDATA[0] to
AUXDATA[3]
These parameters
are not applicable to
an Allen-Bradley
interface.
Set these parameters to NaN when communicating with an Allen-Bradley PLC.
AUXDATA[4]
Specifies the
Allen-Bradley PLC
family type.
Use the following setting for a given PLC type.

2.0 for PLC-2 type
3.0 for PLC-3 type
5.0 for PLC-5 type
You can access different PLC family types through the same FTA by using multiple Serial
Interface Array Channel blocks with the desired family type setting specified for each Array
Channel blocks AUXDATA[4] parameter.
You can access PLC-3 or PLC-5 type controllers using PLC-2 emulation by setting the
AUXDATA[4] parameter value to 2.0.
For diagnostic related Array Channel blocks, you must set the AUXDATA[4] parameter to 0
for a Computer Interface Module or NaN for a loopback test. See the following section
Diagnostic data configuration for details.
AUXDATA[5]
Specifies the
Allen-Bradley PLC
file number.
Use the following setting for a given PLC type.

NaN for PLC-2 type
0 to 999 for PLC-3 or PLC-5 type
For diagnostic related Array Channel blocks, you must set the AUXDATA[5] parameter to -1
for a Computer Interface Module or PLC type, or -3 for a loopback test. See the following
section Diagnostic data configuration for details.
AUXDATA[6]
Specifies the data

type for
Allen-Bradley PLC 2
or PLC-5 type or the
section ID for a
PLC-3 type.
See the paragraph following this table for details about making AUXDATA[6] settings for a
given PLC type.
Different settings are required for diagnostic related Array Channel blocks. See the following
section Diagnostic data configuration for details.
AUXDATA[7]
Specifies the
Allen-Bradley PLC
scan rate.
Each Array Channel block can have a different scan rate. The Allen-Bradley interface supports
either polling or Report by Exception (RBE) independent of the scan rate. Use the following
setting for a given scan rate.
0 to scan the channel as fast as possible
1 to 255 to scan the channel once every 1 to 255 seconds
256 to scan the channel once after configuration or after link or device failure recovery (then
only Report by Exception)
Notes:
Use higher priority scanning for time-critical data, and slower scanning or RBE for lower
priority channels where data changes infrequently.
If all channels are set for very fast scan (0 to 2 seconds), actual performance may be less than
one update per second, especially when writes are used.
A setting greater than 256 causes a POL FREQ error.
If more than one Array Channel block is configured to map the same PLC memory area, only
one of the blocks will be updated with RBE data.
After the first scan is completed with a setting of 256, Array data is updated when RBE data is
received for that channel or after any communication error (but not after configuration errors).
The RBE feature is independent of the scan rate. See the section Report by Exception
requirements for details.

AUXDATA[6] Parameter Setting Details

The following tables list the AUXDATA[6] parameter settings required
for a given data type and A-B PLC type. It also lists the Array Channel
block associated with a given data type as well as the data range and
maximum number of elements.
ATTENTION
An unexpected write may take place when changing

AuxData[6] (data type) online, in the following
scenario:
1. Data Type was 4 or 5 (read only unsigned).
2. An online value change was attempted. The
change is ignored.
3. Data Type is changed to other writable numeric
type.
The previously-attempted change is now accepted
and passed to the PLC.

B-5
The setting for AUXDATA[6] corresponds to the

PLC-5 controller file type, except 9 is assigned for
string data. Configure the PLC-5 file to use data
type 'A' (ASCII), not data type 'ST' (string).
Timers/counters require three words per
timer/counter. Presets and accumulated values
are read only. They can only be modified in
ladder logic.
The following restrictions also apply for PLC-5:
If the AUXDATA[5] setting is 0, then
AUXDATA[6] must be set to 0 (output data).
AUXDATA[6] must be set to 1 (input data).
AUXDATA[6] must be set to 2 (status).
DEVADDR Parameter Configuration

You configure the device address (DEVADDR) parameter to specify
the Node Address for the A-B PLC in octal. For example, if the PLC
Node Address is 758, enter 75 as the device address setting in the
Array Channel block configuration form. More than one Array
Channel block can have the same device address.
The valid Node Address range is 08 to 3768. (Note that the FTA
firmware does the octal to decimal conversion automatically, so do
not convert the octal address to decimal.)
B-6
STARTINDEX and Number of Elements Parameter

The value configured for the STARTINDEX parameter in a given Array
Channel block determines the PLC data table location and function.
Only one type of external data (Flag, Numeric, or String) can be
accessed per Array Channel block. The following paragraphs describe
the setting considerations for a given PLC type.
PLC-2 Type: Use the appropriate octal address within the PLC-2
data table. For example, if the octal address is 1768, enter 176 as
the start index setting in the Array Channel block configuration
form.
PLC-3 Type: Use either the word part of the PLC-3 address or
the structure value for the floating point data. For all data types
except input/output (I/O), the decimal range is 0 to 999910. For
I/O data, enter the start index setting in the Array Channel block
configuration form as an octal number. The range for actual I/O
is 08 to 3778 and the range for storage locations is 4008 to 77778.
The PLC-3 Context and External Data Tables are only supported
to the extent that Context is fixed equals 1 (current context) and
the External Data Table is always equal to E3.
PLC-5 Type: Use the file start index depending on the type of
data (Flag, Numeric, String).
For flag data, the start index setting represents the word address
within the file. If the AUXDATA[6] setting is 0 (Output) or 1
(Input), enter the start index for a Flag Array Channel block as
an octal number in the range of 0008 to 1778. A non-octal digit
or an out-of-range value causes a STARTIDX error.
Specify all other start index settings as integers, including flag
array data except as noted above for input or output data type.
The SIM does not check file size.
The number of elements parameter (NFLAG, NNUMERIC, or
NSTRING) in a Flag Array, Numeric Array, or Text Array Channel
block determines the number of flags, numerics, or strings in a
given data array. The tables in AUXDATA[6] Parameter Setting
Details section, on page B-3, list the maximum number of
elements for a given data type for reference.
B-7
Report by Exception Requirements

Before an FTA will accept RBE data, the following conditions must be
true.
The corresponding Array Channel block must be configured.
The channel must have been scanned at least once.
The sending devices source address (SRC) must match the Array
Channel blocks configured device address (DEVADDR)
parameter.
The quantity of the data received by the FTA in an RBE request
must match the quantity of the data configured for the
destination Array Channel block.
The command code (CMD) and the function number (FNC) in
the Allen-Bradley communication messages must be as specified
in the following table.
An RBE_FULL error results if even one RBE message is rejected
without indication back to the device that generated the
message.
RBE data is rejected by any Array Channel block configured to
map diagnostic counter data, or run a diagnostic loop, or by any
PLC-5 configured for Timer/Counter data.
For a PLC-5 controller, the Data Type (AUXDATA[6]) parameter
must match the file type start index configured for the
destination Array Channel block.
Note that configuring more than one Array Channel block to map the
same PLC memory area results in only one of the Array Channel
blocks being updated with RBE data.

Performance Considerations
IMPORTANT
Since the Serial Interface I/O Module (SIM)

bandwidth is limited, the Array Channel blocks
only process writes which change the current
process value. This eliminates unnecessary
repeated writes.
In ProcessLogix systems with redundant
Controller configurations, the writes are not
guaranteed during a failover. The store attempt
may occur in the Primary Controller, but it may
not reach the SIM before the failover occurs. The
Secondary Controller does not attempt to resend
the data.
B-9
An active SIM function block processes the following actions once per
its publication period of 250 milliseconds. The publication rate is the
same whether the SIM block is assigned to a 5ms-CEE or a 50ms-CEE
type.
Load Serial Interface Array Channel block configurations to the
SIM.
Send Array Channel block write requests to the SIM.
Monitor status of the SIM, and report diagnostics, as applicable.
Of course, these actions are not performed when the SIM block is
inactive. When the SIM block is inactive, the Array Channel blocks set
their data to applicable default values.
The SIM block collects the writes for each array channel and sends
them to the SIM every 250ms. The following table lists the maximum
number writes a SIM block supports per channel in every 250ms
cycle. If the SIM blocks write list becomes full, it rejects a write to the
array channel block.
Table B.6 Max number of writes per channel
Array Channel Block
Maximum Number of Writes

(Channel/250ms)
SINUMARRCH
SIFLAGARRCH
16
SITEXTARRCH (STRLEN = 8)
Writes to Array Channel Blocks can also be rejected because the SIM
is not keeping up with the writes being sent by the SIM block. Write
overruns are indicated by the SIM block FTAAOVRNFL and
FTABOVRNFL parameters. To provide an overrun condition alarm,
connect the overrun parameters to a FLAG function block configured
to generate an OffNormal alarm.
For an Allen-Bradley interface, all configured Array Channel blocks
scan the PLC devices in a circular sequence at the specified scan rate
with the read data requests. A write data request preempts the read
requests (and/or response to any RBE requests). The number of
consecutive write data requests is limited to eight (8), after which a
Report by Exception request or scan read request is serviced. If
outputs, RBE requests, and scan read requests are stacked
continuously, the RBE requests and scan read requests are alternately
serviced after every eight outputs. This slows data acquisition
considerably.
B-10
Channels with a scan frequency of 3 to 255 seconds are scanned once

upon block activation and then at the configured scan rate. RBE
messages reset the scan interval timer, therefore frequent RBE
messages can prevent unnecessary scanning.
There is a limit to the number of write requests per second that can be
serviced before read response is significantly affected. Because of the
time ladder logic takes to execute the maximum number of write
requests per second to a PLC running ladder logic should be limited
even further. Your Rockwell Automation representative can provide
test data and reports on PLC modules certified to date.
Array Channel Block Execution State

The Array Channel block uses the Execution State (EXECSTATE) and
Execution Period (PERIOD) parameter settings for the Control Module
that contains it. When the Control Module is activated, the Array
Channel block sends its configuration to the SIM function block for
loading in the SIM/FTA. Inactivating and activating the Control
Module/Array Channel block, reloads the configuration.
IMPORTANT
It may take a few seconds after the Array Channel

block is activated for the configuration to be loaded
to the SIM/FTA and good data to be imaged from the
device to the Array Channel block. During this time,
short duration BADPV alarms may occur on blocks
that are accessing the channels array data.
B-11
Write processing considerations

The Array Channel block array data can be written to either through a
one-time store from a Sequential Control Module, an operator, or
continually through a wired connection.
Upon receiving a store request, the Array Channel block forwards the
requested store to the SIM block. The SIM block forwards the store
request to the SIM and FTA. The stored value is not saved in the Array
Channel block. The Array Channel block value does not change until
the imaged value shows the new value, indicating that the store really
made it to the end device.
TIP
Use a read-back check to verify that a write is

successful in reaching the external device. A
read-back check reads the parameter just written and
compares it to the value written. When the compared
values are equal, it guarantees that the write was
successful all the way to the serial device. The
feedback time varies based on SIM, FTA, and device
performance.
Diagnostic procedures and data configuration

Diagnostic data is stored as single or double bytes of information in
the Allen-Bradley Highway module. The various PLC modules hold
diagnostic information in different forms and in different RAM
locations. This data is referred to as the Diagnostic Counters.
The Allen-Bradley diagnostic commands supported by the procedures
that follow are:
Diagnostic Status
Diagnostic Read
Diagnostic Counters Reset
Only modules whose diagnostic information address is returned as a
reply to a Diagnostic Status Command in the seventh and eighth bytes
are supported (PLC-5 returns 0). This address is added to the value
specified in the STARTINDEX as an offset, and a Diagnostic Read
collects data into the SIM. Therefore, you do not need to know the
starting address for diagnostic data.
B-12
Because of differences between modules, you must be familiar with

the equipment to properly configure an Array Channel block for
diagnostic purposes. It is also up to you to interpret the diagnostic
data returned. The software automatically reformats data from
diagnostic counters for easier interpretation.
You can cause a Diagnostic Counters Reset by executing a write to
any element of the diagnostic array counters. Note that a write to any
one diagnostic counter resets all the diagnostic counters in the
module.
Use the settings in the following table to configure a Numeric Array
Channel block to acquire diagnostic information from an
Allen-Bradley KE/KF Computer Interface Module (CIM). Numeric data
is used for diagnostic counters.

Use the settings in the following table to configure a Text Array

Channel block to set up a diagnostic loop. A repetitive diagnostic loop
can be set up to check the integrity of transmissions over the
communications link. It works by transmitting a message of a certain
length from the FTA which causes the A-B device to reply by
transmitting the same data back to the FTA. String data is used for this
purpose.

Loopback Test: Attempted - xxxxx Pass - xxxxx
Where xxxxx is a pass/failure count.
Any communication errors are displayed, but the BADPVFL is not set
for a diagnostic loop.
TIP
The loopback test can run along with other Array
Channel block scans, but doing so adversely affects
performance.
Time-Out gate configuration

The time-out gate feature checks for communication between the FTA
and the Allen-Bradley device. This lets the PLC know that the Serial
Interface is working.
By configuring an Array Channel block for a periodic write (such as
every 10, 20 or 30 seconds), the PLC issues a Report by Exception
message. This causes the FTA to return a status message that the
ladder logic can monitor and react to.
If the FTA fails, the PLC receives a status code 2016 and/or a timeout
occurs indicating to the PLC that the host is not communicating. When
the FTA recovers, the condition clears and the normal 00 status
(message was successful) returns.
B-15
Status and error checking

Several Array Channel block and SIM block parameters provide status
reporting. Error information appears in the form of a detailed code or
status flag. If configured, Error information appears on the Array
Channel block in the Monitoring tab in Control Builder (CB) or the
Channel and SIM block detail displays. You should periodically check
these block parameters.
BADPVFL/ERRFL: Provides overall status of array data (ON =
bad). The overall status is bad when there are communication
problems or the SIM block is inactive.
INITREQ: Tied to ERRFL status. It always equals the status of the
ERRFL. This parameter is provided for the sake of consistency
with other function blocks to indicate if the block can be stored
to at the current time.
ERRCODE: When ERRFL is ON, provides a detailed 8-character
string. Refer to the Notifications Reference and the following
Error Messages section for more information.
Error messages
The following table lists some possible Serial Interface and
Allen-Bradley communication errors for reference. You may also need

Special FTA to KE/KF cabling considerations

As previously mentioned, an Allen-Bradley KE/KF Computer Interface
Module (CIM) is usually used to communicate with an A-B FTA. The
recommended KE/KF CIM configuration is full duplex, even parity,
BCC, embedded response disabled, 19,200 baud, and diagnostic
pass-through. A special cable with 25-pin (male) to 15-pin (male)
connectors and wired as shown below is requied to connect the
KE/KF CIM to the A-B FTA.
Figure 10.1 Connecting the KE/KF to the FTA

B-18
FTA direct to PLC-5 RS-232 Port cable considerations:

To make a direct connection between the FTA and a PLC-5, you must
configure the PLC-5 serial port as RS-232, full duplex, even parity,
19,200 baud, and diagnostic pass through, ignore duplicate messages.
Do not configure the port as RS-422 or RS-485. You will need a null
modem cable with 25-pin male connections to connect the PLC-5 to
the A-B FTA. The cable connections are shown below for reference.

Read and write performance is sensitive to a number of variables, including the PLC type, scan time, PLC network configuration and traffic, amount of data access from
other devices, and the overall health of the PLC network. For best results, a direct PLC connection is recommended. The ratings listed do not represent best performance
figures. Read performance degrades with increased writes.

Configuration for Generic
MODBUS Interface
About Generic Modbus Interface

Many devices that use the AEG Modicon Modbus RTU protocol can
communicate with the ProcessLogix system through the Array Channel
blocks for the SIM. Refer to Modbus documentation for a description
of the Modbus protocol.
AUXDATA Parameter Configuration

The following table summarizes the AUXDATA parameter
configuration that defines Serial Interface Array Channel block
communications with the Generic Modbus.
Table C.A Serial Interface Array Channel Communications with Generic Modbus
Parameter
Function
Description
AUXDATA[0]
Specifies the Keep Alive Address for a

Modbus coil.
This parameter tells the Modbus system that the ProcessLogix subsystem is
functioning. It can be configured separately on each array channel block, but
no two array channel blocks should write to the same coil. The coil address
must be within the range 00001 to 09999.
Note: When this parameter is NaN, the Keep Alive function is inactive. If you
want to check the Keep Alive coil, you must program the Modbus device to do
so.
AUXDATA[1]
Specifies the time interval in seconds

to wait before attempting a message
retry.
If a valid response is not received after three tries (original plus two retires), a
MSGTMOUT error results. The range is 0.25 to 5 seconds on NaN. If NaN is
specified, the default timeout is 1.5 seconds. A timeout value can be
configured separately for each array channel block.
C-2
Table C.A Serial Interface Array Channel Communications with Generic Modbus
The first valid array channel block loaded to the Controller with values in
AUXDATA[2] and AUXDATA[3] sets the mode and baud rate for the FTA
communications. This means that AUXDATA[2] AUXDATA[3] must contain the
same value for all array blocks configured through the same FTA. If array
blocks loaded later to that FTA have different AUXDATA[2]/[3] values, an
AUXMATCH error results.
The modem control feature switches the following signals: RTS, CTS, DSR,
DTR, and DCD. When AUXDATA[2] is NaN, the protocol is EIA-232 and modem
control is OFF.
AUXDATA[2]
Specifies the signaling protocol and

modem control in an integer/decimal
format: mmm.n
Where mmm is the signaling protocol
and n is the modem control (0 = OFF
and 1 = ON).
For example, 232.1 indicates EIA-232
with modem control ON. The other
choices are 232.0 and 485.0. EIA-232
permits use of an external modem.
AUXDATA[3]
Specifies the baud rate in an

The legal baud rates are 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, and 1200. NaN (dashes)
integer/decimal format: bbbbb.n
results in a default value of 19200 baud with odd parity.
Where bbbbb is the baud rate and n is
the parity (0 = None, 1 = Odd, 2 = Even).

STARTINDEX and Number of Elements Parameter

The value configured for the STARTINDEX parameter in a given Array
Channel block determines the Modbus Start Index and function. Only
one type of external data can be accessed per Array Channel block.
The number of elements parameter (NFLAG, NNUMERIC, or
NSTRING) in a Flag Array, Numeric Array, or Text Array Channel
block determines the number of flags, numerics, or strings in a given
data array.
The following table shows the relationship between Modbus functions
and the STARTINDEX and number of elements parameters. The Start
Index Ranges defines the Modbus address map. The most significant
digit in this column identifies the Modbus function (for example, read
coil status). The lower four digits define the starting address to access
data for the given Modbus function. The address ranges 2xxxx, 4xxxx,
5xxxx, 7xxxx, 8xxxx, and 9xxxx all address the same xxxx registers in
the PLC, but with different data formats. When multiple numeric data
types are used, you must configure the STARTINDEX for each array to
avoid overlapping arrays.
The maximum number of elements specifies the maximum number of
flags, numerics, or strings that can be configured for a given Start
Index Range and block type. All of the specified elements are read in
a single transaction.

C-4
Modbus loopback diagnostic

The loopback test consists of sending a test message to the Modbus
device and waiting for the proper response. To do this, configure a
TEXT array channel block as follows.
STARTINDEX = 60000 (loopback test address)
NSTRING = 1
STRLEN = 64
When the block is active, the monitor data block.str[1] should contain
the message:
Loopback Test: Attempted xxxxx
Pass xxxxx
Where xxxxx is a pass/failure count.

TIP
The loopback test can run along with other Array
Channel block scans, but doing so adversely affects
performance.
Performance Considerations
IMPORTANT
Since the Serial Interface I/O Module (SIM)

bandwidth is limited, the Array Channel blocks
only process writes which change the current
process value. This eliminates unnecessary
repeated writes.
In ProcessLogix systems with redundant
Controller configurations, the writes are not
guaranteed during a failover. The store attempt
may occur in the Primary Controller, but it may
not reach the SIM before the failover occurs. The
Secondary Controller does not attempt to resend
the data.
C-5
An active SIM function block processes the following actions once per
its publication period of 250 milliseconds. The publication rate is the
same whether the SIM block is assigned to a 5ms-CEE or a 50ms-CEE
type.
Load Serial Interface Array Channel block configurations to the
SIM.
Send Array Channel block write requests to the SIM.
Monitor status of the SIM, and report diagnostics, as applicable.
Of course, these actions are not performed when the SIM block is
inactive. When the SIM block is inactive, the Array Channel blocks set
their data to applicable default values.
The SIM block collects the writes for each array channel and sends
them to the SIM every 250ms. The following table lists the maximum
number writes a SIM block supports per channel in every 250ms
cycle. If the SIM blocks write list becomes full, it rejects a write to the
array channel block.
Table C.C
Array Channel Block
Maximum Number of Writes

(Channel/250ms)
SINUMARRCH
SIFLAGARRCH
16
Writes to Array Channel Blocks can also be rejected because the SIM
is not keeping up with the writes being sent by the SIM block. Write
overruns are indicated by the SIM block FTAAOVRNFL and
FTABOVRNFL parameters. To provide an overrun condition alarm,
connect the overrun parameters to a FLAG function block configured
to generate an OffNormal alarm.
C-6
Array Channel Block Execution State

The Array Channel block uses the Execution State (EXECSTATE) and
Execution Period (PERIOD) parameter settings for the Control Module
that contains it. When the Control Module is activated, the Array
Channel block sends its configuration to the SIM function block for
loading in the SIM/FTA. Inactivating and activating the Control
Module/Array Channel block, reloads the configuration.
IMPORTANT
It may take a few seconds after the Array Channel

block is activated for the configuration to be loaded
to the SIM/FTA and good data to be imaged from the
device to the Array Channel block. During this time,
short duration BADPV alarms may occur on blocks
that are accessing the channels array data.
Write Processing Considerations

The Array Channel block array data can be written to either through a
one-time store from a Sequential Control Module, an operator, or
continually through a wired connection.
Upon receiving a store request, the Array Channel block forwards the
requested store to the SIM block. The SIM block forwards the store
request to the SIM and FTA. The stored value is not saved in the Array
Channel block. The Array Channel block value does not change until
the imaged value shows the new value, indicating that the store really
made it to the end device.
TIP
Use a read-back check to verify that a write is

successful in reaching the external device. A
read-back check reads the parameter just written and
compares it to the value written. When the compared
values are equal, it guarantees that the write was
successful all the way to the serial device. The
feedback time varies based on SIM, FTA, and device
performance.
C-7
Status and Error Checking

Several Array Channel block and SIM block parameters provide status
reporting. Error information appears in the form of a detailed code or
status flag. If configured, Error information appears on the Array
Channel block in the Monitoring tab in Control Builder (CB) or the
Channel and SIM block detail displays. You should periodically check
these block parameters.
BADPVFL/ERRFL: Provides overall status of array data (ON =
bad). The overall status is bad when there are communication
problems or the SIM block is inactive.
INITREQ: Tied to ERRFL status. It always equals the status of the
ERRFL. This parameter is provided for the sake of consistency
with other function blocks to indicate if the block can be stored
to at the current time.
ERRCODE: When ERRFL is ON, provides a detailed 8-character
string. Refer to the Notifications Reference and the following
Error Messages section for more information.

Special Modbus Slave FTA Implementation

The following table summarizes the tasks and information associated
with implementing a Modbus Slave FTA. The Modbus Slave FTA is
available as a repeatable special product (hardware part number
51191029-Tab, documentation part number 51191030).
Table C.E Implementing a Modbus Slave FTA
Task/Information
Action/Reference
Restrictions
Configuration
In each Master and Slave Array Channel pair, configure the identical settings for the device address (DEVADDR)
and start index (STARTINDEX) parameters.
Configure identical, non-overlapping data areas in Master and Slave Array Channel pairs. For example, if Array 1
is 32 integers with a STARTINDEX of 90001, then Array 2 must have a STARTINDEX of 00033. If Array 1 is 512
Booleans with a STARTINDEX of 00000 and Array 2 is 16 floating points, then Array 2 must have a STARTINDEX
of 70513 and Array 3 must have a STARTINDEX of x00001 + 512 +16 = 529.
In all Slave Array Channels, set AUXDATA[4] parameter to a non-zero value (1.0) to enable the Remote Terminal
Unit (RTU) protocol.
In all Master Array Channels, set AUXDATA[1] parameter to recommended 3.0 second timeout.
In all Master and Slave Array Channel pairs, configure the identical settings for AUXDATA[2] and AUXDATA[3]
parameters.
For short distances, the default is RS-232 direct connection with NaN settings for both AUXDATA[2] and
AUXDATA[3] parameters.
For long distance, use RS485 connection with a 485.0 setting for the AUXDATA[2] parameter and a 19200.1
setting for the AUXDATA[3] parameter.
Common Errors
If the Master accesses a device address that does not match an existing Slave Array configuration, the Slave
responds with an Ex-2 error and freezes. After the Master address is corrected, you must restart or reconfigure
the Slave.
If the Slave Array is configured with overlapping data areas between arrays, it returns the STRTINDX error code.
If the Slave Array is configured with a conflicting device address, it returns the DEV ADDR error code.
If the Slave is configured for a STARTINDEX address of 8xxxx, it causes an Ex-2 error code in the Master. The
8xxxx address (IEEE Float at address 1) is not supported.
Must pair only one Master and one Slave.

Since the Slave responds to all addresses, no other multidrop devices are permitted.
To avoid the Ex-2 error, configure and load the Slave FTA first.
You can configure different device addresses for each Array Channel pair, but only addresses 1 to 15 are legal.

Read and write performance is sensitive to a number of variables, including the PLC type, scan time, PLC network configuration and traffic, amount of data access from
other devices, and the overall health of the PLC network. For best results, a direct PLC connection is recommended. The ratings listed do not represent best performance
figures. Read performance degrades with increased writes.
