Installing ARCNET cards using Windows NT
1.4.1 ARCNET card for desktop PC using Windows NT

For programming a PLC via ARCNET using Windows NT 4.0, SoHards FARC E3 card (ISA
card) and FASRC.SYS driver can be used.
On the card, set the I/O range and the interrupt IRQ according to the enclosed documentation.
Note:
The factory settings are applicable.
(I/O address = 120 hex, IRQ = 10, KOAX mode, 2.5 MHz).
Copy the content of the 907 AC 1131 programming software subdirectory
ARCNET\ARCNET_NT\Treiber
from your PC to an empty floppy disk without any subdirectory!!!
Copy the file ARCNET32.DLL in the 907 AC 1131 programming software subdirectory
ARCNET\ARCNET_NT
to the operating system subdirectory System32 (e.g. WINNT\SYSTEM32)!
For installing the driver proceed as follows:
1. Execute Settings=>Control Panel=>Network.
2. In the Control Panel select "Network".
3. Select "Add" => Floppy disk A:.
(The installation routine does not permit subdirectories !)
4. Select the option "ISA card", "COM20020".
5. The following settings ("Properties") match with the factory settings:
- Interrupt:
- IO address:
- Mem address:
- Controller:
- Driver:
- Licence number:
IRQ10
120 hex (decimal 288)
0
COM20020
FARC
ABB number: 34687-2-304-2710-0105877
(or request own number from SoHard)
After restarting the computer the settings are applied and the communication should work.
The following problems can occur:
1. The IRQ or the I/O range set is already used by another hardware device on your PC.
This can be checked using:
"Programs" => "Administrative Tools" => "Windows NT Diagnostics" => "Resources"
2. The used IRQ is configured for PCI interrupts and not for ISA interrupts. This setting is
performed in the BIOS.

Installation
1.4.2 ARCNET PC card for notebooks using Windows NT (without PCMCIA cards)
For programming the PLC via ARCNET using a notebook Contemporary Controls PCMCIAARCNET adapter PCM 20E can be used (can be obtained from SoHard).
SoHards NT (ISA card!!) driver FARC.SYS is used because Contemporary Controls does not
provide a NT driver. During the installation the I/O range and IRQ which NT has assigned to the
PCMCIA slot must be predetermined for the driver. The ISA card driver is not able to perform a
"normal" PCMCIA configuration with the PCMCIA controller. The driver assumes that the
PCMCIA controller can predetermine standard settings for the card.
Proceed as follows if your PC is not yet equipped with PCMCIA cards:
ARCNET\ARCNET_NT
Switch-off the computer, insert the PCMCIA card and connect the adapter.
After switching-on the PC and booting Windows NT, select:
"Settings" => "Control Panel" => "PC Card (PCMCIA)".
Now the card should be detected in one of the PCMCIA slots as:
"Contemporary Control Systems, Inc. PCM20 ARCNET Adapter".
If the card is not detected automatically the card or the PCMCIA controller is faulty.
In the second step some settings in the registry must be entered which tell the SoHard ARCNET
ISA card driver, that the inserted card is a PCMCIA card. For this purpose, a registry file
"PCM20_NT.REG" is provided which contains the most settings correctly. If you double-click on
this file in the Windows NT Explorer you should receive the message
"The information from C:\...\PCM20_NT.REG was entered in the registry".
Restart NT so that the settings become valid. After starting select:
"Settings" => "Control Panel" => "PC Card (PCMCIA)".
In
"Socket State" => "Properties" => "Resources"
the parameters should be set as follows:
- Interrupt Request:
10
(Example)
- I/O Range:
300-30F
(Example)
Installation
1-8
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
The values 10 and/or 300-30F are probably different in your system. Note down the values. It
does not matter that it is displayed in
"Socket State" => "Properties" => "Drivers"
that no driver was installed for this device.
If in
"Socket State" => "Properties" => "Resources"
nothing is displayed, your Laptop or your PCMCIA controller is not able to predetermine
standard settings for a PCMCIA card for which no driver was loaded.
In this case the ARCNET PCMCIA controller cannot be used in your system! In order to rule out
errors you should check and if necessary repeat the steps described above. Please contact
your PC supplier.
With the following tested laptops the ARCNET PCMCIA adapter did not work:
- Gateway 2000 Solo
- ...
Now install the Farc driver performing the same procedure as for the ISA card (steps 1-5). For
the bus type you must select "ISA", not PCI, PCMCIA, PnP or anything else. For the I/O
address enter the I/O address assigned by NT (in the example above: 300 hex) and also the
IRQ (in the example above: 10)! For the Mem memory area select 0, for the controller type
select "COM20020" as you did for the ISA card, for the driver select FARC and enter your
licence number.
1. Select "Settings" => "Control Panel" => "Network".
2. Double-click on the "Network" icon in the control panel.
5. Enter the settings ("Properties"):
- Interrupt IRQ:
IRQ assigned by NT!!! (in the example: 10)
- I/O address:
I/O address assigned by NT!!! (in the example: 300hex)
- Mem address:
0
- Controller:
COM20020
- Driver:
FARC
- Licence number:
ABB number: 34687-2-304-2710-0105877
After restarting the computer the settings are applied and the communication should work.

1.4.3 ARCNET PC card for notebooks using Windows NT (with PCMCIA cards)
The installation is described for the Toshiba notebook T460CDX.
ARCNET\ARCNET_NT
For installing the PCMCIA ARCNET card proceed as follows:
1. Uninstall the AVM card (FRITZ modem card) if necessary
The AVM card assigns IRQ5. For uninstalling use SETUP from the CD supplied with the AVM
card.
2. Determine and enter the assignment for ARCNET
- Switch-off the computer.
- Remove all PCMCIA cards with the exception of the ARCNET card.
- Switch-on and reboot the computer.
- Check the assignment for PCMCIA ARCNET (IRQ, I/O).
"Settings" => "Control Panel" => "PC Card" => "Contemporary Control Systems" =>
"Properties" => "Resources"
3. Now some settings in the registry must be entered which inform the SoHard ARCNET ISA
card driver that the inserted card is a PCMCIA card. For this purpose, a registry file
"PCM20_NT.REG" is provided which contains the most settings correctly. If you double-click on
this file in the Windows NT Explorer you should receive the message
"The information from C:\...\PCM20_NT.REG was entered in the registry".
4. Now install the Farc driver performing the same procedure as for the ISA card (steps 1-5).
For the bus type you must select "ISA", not PCI, PCMCIA, PnP or anything else. However, for
the I/O address enter the I/O address assigned by NT (in the example above: 300 hex) and also
the IRQ (in the example above: 10)! For the Mem memory area select 0, for the controller type
select "COM20020" as you did for the ISA card, for the driver select FARC and enter your
licence number.
1. Select "Settings" => "Control Panel" => "Network".
2. Double-click on the "Network" icon in the control panel.
5. Enter the settings ("Properties"):
- Interrupt IRQ:

1.5.2 ARCNET card for notebook PC using Win95/98 SE

For programming the PLC via ARCNET using a notebook Contemporary Controls PCMCIAARCNET adapter PCM 20E can be used (can be obtained from SoHard).
SoHards Win95/98 SE (ISA card!!) driver FARC20.VXD is used because Contemporary
Controls does not provide a driver. During the installation the I/O range and IRQ which Windows
has assigned to the PCMCIA slot must be predetermined for the driver. The ISA card driver is
not able to perform a "normal" PCMCIA configuration with the PCMCIA controller. The driver
assumes that the PCMCIA controller can predetermine standard settings for the card.
For installing the PCMCIA ARCNET card proceed as follows:
1. Copy the files located in the directory 907 AC 1131\ARCNET\Windows_95_98\PCMCIA to
an empty floppy disk.
2. Switch off your PC and remove all PCMCIA cards.
3. Insert the PCMCIA-ARCNET card PCM 20E.
4. Switch on your computer. It is signalized that a new hardware component was found. Insert
the floppy disk created before and select "Installation from floppy disk". Click on "OK". Now
the PCMCIA enabler is loaded.
5. Reboot your computer when requested.
6. Note down the I/O range and interrupt values displayed in
"Start" => "Settings" => "Control Panel" => "System" => " Device Manager" => "PCM20" =>
"Resources".
For example, for Win98 SE and a Toshiba Tecra8100 the following is displayed:
I/O range: 0240-024F (hex)
Interrupt: 10 (dec)
7. In
"Start" => "Settings" => "Control Panel" => "PC card (PCMCIA)"
you will find e.g. PCM20 - Socket 2.
Double click on the entry and go to "Global Settings".
If necessary, uncheck the option "Automatic setting" and close the dialog.

Entering the PLC into the controller configuration

From version V4.1 of the software 907 AC 1131 onwards, the PLC type is entered into the
controller configuration. This is necessary to adapt the software to the various controllers, e.g.
- for different memory areas of the controllers 07 KT 95..97 and 07 KT 98 or
- to prepare a differentiation of series 90 and series 40...50.
Note:
The controllers 07 KT 95, 07 KT 96 and 07 KT 97 use the same memory areas. When
creating projects for those controllers you can enter "07KT95", "07KT96" or "07KT97" into
the controller configuration. If you want to load the same project into the controller
07 KT 98, you have to modify the controller configuration entry to 07KT98.
When logging into the controller a verification is performed whether the entry in the controller
configuration matches the controller. If this is not the case an error message is displayed:
"The connected CPU is not 100% compatible to the CPU used in the controller configuration. It
is not possible to go online. Please replace the CPU module!"
If you try to translate a project without any entry in the controller configuration, the following
error message is displayed:
"No CPU set. Please enter a CPU module into the controller configuration."
In this case it is also possible that various secondary errors are signalized.

For the controller 07 KT 98 the parameter "Param8" can be modified if necessary (if a block in
the project requires more than 32 kB of data). In this case the modification applies to all
projects.
Displayed code and data size:

When translating a project using the function key <F11> or "Project/Rebuild All" the code and
data size information is displayed in the message window in the next to last line.
For our example project "Ein_Ausgang.pro":
Code Size 1065, Data Size 45200
Code Size - program size:

The displayed code size corresponds exactly to the size of the program code, but without I/O
description (inputs and outputs for the tasks).
For the controllers 07 KT 95..97 the maximum program size is 464 kB = 475136 bytes =
16#74000 bytes. In addition the I/O description takes 16 kB which results in a maximum user
program size of 480 kB.
For the controller 07 KT 98 the maximum program size is 960 kB = 983040 bytes =
16#0F0000 bytes. In addition the I/O description takes 64 kB which results in a maximum user
program size of 1 MB = 1024 kB.

Data Size amount of data:

For the data size the size of the required data segments is displayed. Additionally 12432 bytes
are required for internal extra code (tables for block start addresses and block lengths, auxiliary
functions for online change, debugging, etc.).
The data segment size is determined in the configuration file by the parameter Param8 and is
set to 32 kB := 32768 bytes = 16#8000 bytes.
The number of data segments is set in the 907 AC 1131 software for each project using
"Project/Options/Build/Number of Data Segments". The default value is 2 which means 1
RETAIN segment and 1 data segment. The size of the RETAIN segment is not included in the
displayed data size.
Following this, a displayed data size of "Data Size 45200" means:
- 1 data segment with 32768 bytes: 1 *
32768 bytes
- internal extra code
12432 bytes
- data size
45200 bytes
The actually used data in the data segment are not displayed. The following error message is
displayed if you enter more data than a data segment can accommodate: "The data occupy too
much memory. Increase the number of data segments."
For the controllers 07 KT 95..97 the size of the variable memory (refer to parameter Param6 in
the configuration file) is 240 kB = 245760 bytes. Subtracting 12432 bytes of internal extra code
results in 233328 bytes. These are approx. 7 data segments of 32768 bytes each. Following
this, you can set the number of data segments to a maximum of 8 (7 data segments + 1
RETAIN segment).
For the controller 07 KT 98 the size of the variable memory (refer to parameter Param6 in the
configuration file) is 1 MB := 1024 kB := 1048576 bytes. Subtracting 12432 bytes of internal
extra code results in 1036144 bytes. These are approx. 31 data segments of 32768 bytes each.
Following this, you can set the number of data segments to a maximum of 32 (31 data
segments + 1 RETAIN segment). If you change the size of the data segments, the maximum
number of possible data segments changes accordingly.

Menu "Perform PLC cold start (and log out)"

The menu item "Perform PLC cold start (and log out)" is only available in the logged in state
(otherwise grayed out). This menu item initiates a cold start on the PLC. A warm start on the
controller is initiated using the menu item "Online/Reset". For both menu items a logout is
performed. The cold and the warm start of the controller are described in detail in volume 3 System technology.
Menu "Info on project on PLC"

The menu item "Info on project on PLC" is only available in the logged in state (otherwise
greyed out). Selecting this menu item displays the same information about the runtime system
of the controller and the project on the PLC as displayed when logging in to the controller.
Menu "Write user program to SMC"

The menu item "Write user program to SMC" is only available in the logged in state (otherwise
grayed out). After selecting this menu item the program stored in the Flash memory of the PLC
is written to an inserted SmartMedia Card.
In order to store the user program to a SmartMedia Card the following procedure is necessary:
- Load the program to the PLC (download).
- Write the program to the Flash memory using "Online/Create boot project (Flash user
program)".
- Insert the SmartMedia Card (chip side up).
- Write the program from the Flash memory to the SmartMedia Card using "Online/Write user
program to SMC".
Caution:
The SmartMedia Card is formatted prior to writing data to it. Data which are possibly
stored on the card are deleted without any inquiry.
If both parameters under "Online/Settings for Force" are set to "yes":
- "Do not release force when logging out" - yes (checked)
- "Save force list in boot project (Flash/SMC)" - yes (checked)
you are asked whether you really want to write the force values to the SmartMedia Card. The
menu is aborted if you answer with no.
(Refer to chapter "Peculiarities for forcing and overwriting in version V4.1").
The following error is displayed if no SmartMedia Card is inserted in the controller:
"The controller has performed the last online service incorrect".
Menu "Write project source code to SMC"

The menu item "Write project source code to SMC" is intended for later software versions. It is
not effective in version V4.1.

2.4.2 The PLC browser

The PLC browser provides additional online functions for users which use pointers and indirect
memory accesses frequently. Furthermore it provides information about the user tasks.
You can find the PLC browser in the "Resources" tab. The PLC browser works only in the
logged in state.
The following functions are available:
-?
Get a list of the implemented commands.
- mem
Memory dump. Syntax: mem <start-addr> <end-addr>.
- memc
Same as mem, addresses are added to the start address of the code area.
- memd
Same as mem, addresses are added to the start address of the data area.
- tsk
Output IEC task list with task information.
If you select the PLC browser and click on the sign [...] a window displaying the possible
functions appears. You can click on the commands in this window. The commands are then
entered into the command line where you can enter the required parameters, if necessary.

Peculiarities for forcing and overwriting in version V4.1"

In version V4.0 of the software 907 AC 1131 only one buffer was available for the functions
forcing and overwriting. This is why it was only possible to either force or overwrite.
From version V4.1 of the software 907 AC 1131 onwards, separate buffers are used for forcing
and overwriting. Furthermore it is now possible that the force values are not deleted when
logging out or that the force values are even written to the Flash memory or the SMC to become
voltage breakdown-safe.
Caution:
The new features for forcing and overwriting are only available on controllers with a
runtime system from version V4.1 onwards. The force parameters described below
are without any effects on controllers with runtime system version V4.0x.
Using "Write Values" values are written once. After this, the variables can immediately change
their value again initiated by the program.
Using "Force Values" the values are written at each beginning and each end of a cycle until
this process is cancelled with "Release Force". For example when you force a digital input to
TRUE, the I/O image of the tasks works with the forced TRUE, independently from the actual
status of the input. But, for instance, if you force an INT variable to 0 and increment this variable
in the program, the variables value inside the program is set to 1 (and not 0). This applies to all
variables and also to outputs.
The "Online" menu contains the menu item "Settings for Force". If you select this menu item a
window containing the force parameters appears.

Special functions
When you click on "Do not release force when logging out" the entry is marked by a checkmark
(indicating that the function is selected) and the entry for the parameter "Save force list in
boot project (Flash/SMC)" is displayed in black and can be selected now.
The following behavior can be set using these two parameters:

1. - "Do not release force when logging out" - empty (not checked)
- "Save force list in boot project (Flash/SMC)" - empty (not checked)
This is the default setting. The behavior is as for version V4.0 which means that
- the force values are deleted when logging out and
- the force values are not stored in the Flash memory or on the SmartMedia Card.
The LED RUN flashes as long as the logged in state is kept and the values are forced. After
logging out the LED lights as usual.
2. - "Do not release force when logging out" - yes (checked)
- "Save force list in boot project (Flash/SMC)" - empty (not checked)
Using this setting the force values are kept in the RAM memory after logging out. When
logging out you are asked whether the force values should be kept. If you answer with "No"
the force values are deleted. If you answer with "Yes" the force values are kept. In addition
the LED RUN flashes. When logging in the force list is read from the RAM memory of the
PLC. The status bar of 907 AC 1131 displays "FORCE" in black. The forced values are
marked in color.
The force list is deleted on a cold or warm start or when switching the control voltage off/on.
(The behavior is as for the 07 KT 94 with EBS operating system). The LED RUN is lighting
again.
Special functions
2-28
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
3. - "Do not release force when logging out" - yes (checked)

You must store the user program to the Flash memory using "Online/Bootprojekt erzeugen
(Anwenderprogramm flashen)" before logging out. Prior to flashing the user program you
are again reminded that force values are present and that they are also written to the Flash
memory. After this the force values are saved in the RAM and in the Flash memory. The
LED RUN flashes. If you store the user program to a SMC the force values are also stored.
You are once again reminded to this fact.
When performing a cold or warm start or when switching the control voltage off/on the force
list is loaded from the Flash memory together with the user program and then activated. The
LED RUN flashes.
The force list can only be deleted using the software 907 AC 1131. When logging in the
force list is read from the RAM memory of the PLC.
4. - "Do not release force when logging out" - empty (not checked)
This setting is not possible!

Peculiarities of batch operation in version V4.1

The batch operation with the software 907 AC 1131 is described in appendix F "Command line
and command file commands" of volume 5 - Operating instructions.
In order to enable loading of the same project to several controllers using a command file, the
batch operation was expanded by setting the communication parameters.
Caution:
To obtain a correct function of the batch operation for write protected projects, the
parameter Autoload in the file AC1131.INI (for WinNT in the folder WINNT\SYSTEM32
or for Win95/98 in the folder WINDOWS\System) must be set to off (Autoload=No).
By default Autoload is set to on, i.e. Autoload=Yes.
Below an example project is introduced together with the corresponding command file. The lines
beginning with a semicolon are comment lines. Comments written in command lines are also
preceded by a semicolon.
The content of the command file ABB.CMD shall be as follows:
; the following line can be omitted if the project has no access passwords
; insert "query off ok" already at this point if the project file is write protected
query off cancel ; ignore the password request - no writing permission
;file open downloadbatch.pro ; project name => enter your own project here
file open c:\programme\ac1131\projekte\downloadbatch.pro ; or enter file with path
query off ok ; all following dialogs with OK

In our example the write protected project download.pro is sent via ARCNET to the ARCNET
subscribers 35 and 2. The project is flashed in each controller and then started. If necessary,
the set wait times must be modified according to the program length.
To call the command file:
Select "Start" => "Run"
Enter:
c:\programme\ac1131\ac1131.exe /cmd c:\programme\ac1131\projekte\abb.cmd
In this case the command file abb.cmd and the project downloadbatch.pro are located in the
directory
c:\programme\ac1131\projekte.

Notes concerning frequently asked questions
2.7.1 Project protection for logging in to the controller

The following procedure is recommended to ensure that a project cannot be modified
unintentionally and that a login to the controller can be performed again and again without
producing the message "Controller contains other project..." (and causing the controller to
STOP on "OK").
1. - Translate the project using <F11> or "Project/Rebuild All".
- Save the project.
- Set up a password by selecting:
"Project/Options/Passwords/Write Protection Password"
(e.g. enter AC31 and repeat for confirmation)
- Exit the 907 AC 1131 software.
2. - Start the 907 AC 1131 software.
- Open the project (or automatically opened).
- Do not enter the password. Confirm with <Cancel>.
- Login to controller 1, "Controller contains other project...", download, bootproject, start,
logout.
- Login to controller 2, ...
Exit The message "Project was changed. Save..." appears.
3. - Start the 907 AC 1131 software.
- Open the project (or automatically opened).
- Do not enter the password. Confirm with <Cancel>.
- Login to controller 1 (without message "Controller contains other project...").
- Login to controller 2, ...
If you want to call the following menus in a write protected project (as described above), you can
update the menus using <F11> or "Project/Rebuild All".
- "Project/Show Call Tree ..."
- "Project/Show Cross Reference ..."
- "Project/Show unused Variables ..."
The project will not be changed so that a new login is possible.
Please do not enter the write protection password when opening the project!

2.7.2 RETAIN variables - note for program change

The starting behavior and the buffering of variables are described in section "Initialization and
buffering of data areas" of volume 3 - System technology.
RETAIN variables only keep their order when the program change is performed using online
change. When performing a download or when changing the variables (add, delete, change
order) the order of the REATIN variables is also lost resulting in a loss of their values.
Below a method is described how to keep the RETAIN variables even when changing the
program. A small example program is used to simplify the description.
The following small project is created (here in ST):
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
2-33
Special functions
For our project we create one (or more) watch list(s) containing the RETAIN variables. Note that
the initialization value is entered after the variable name (without ;). In our example the watch
list was saved using the name VAR_RETAIN_1.WTC.
Now the program is saved, provided with write protection, downloaded to the controller and
flashed.
Special functions
2-34
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
After starting the program the variables change as desired:
The next step is to add one more counter. Prior to modifying the program we must read the
current state of the RETAIN variables. For this, we login to the controller with the project still
unchanged. Then we set the controller to STOP mode ("Online/Stop") and in the watch and
recipe manager we open a context menu by right clicking with the mouse.
Select "Read Recipe". The variables are updated once again.
After this we open the context menu again and select "Save Watch List". In our example the
name VAR_RETAIN_2.WTC was chosen. Now we logout and delete the watch list (same
context menu, "Delete Watch List").
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
2-35
Special functions
After that we modify the project (or close it and open it again entering the write protection
password for modifying). Now we add one more counter to the VAR_RETAIN list which is also
incremented by 3 every 5 seconds in the program. After the modifications are completed,
translate the project using the <F11> key, save it and download it to the controller.
You can see that the values are now incorrect!

This is the reason why we must log out again and load the watch list containing the stored
RETAIN variables (in our example VAR_RETAIN_2.WTC). The name inquiry was answered
with VAR_RETAIN_3. Now the watch list is supplemented by the new variable iZaehler_neu
and saved again. After logging in again the watch list contains the values currently read from the
controller and the correct values saved before.
Special functions
2-36
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
To write the correct values back to the controller, you must open the context menu again using
the right mouse button (or menu "Extras") and then select the command "Write Recipe". Answer
the question "Do you really want to write the current recipe" with "Yes". The "old" values are
written and the new counter is initialized by zero.
If the program is now started the values go on correctly. The new counter begins to count
correctly. After this log out again.

2.7.3 Creating and modifying your own library

Creating a library:
Proceed as follows to create a library containing self-made blocks:
1. First a project is created containing the blocks.
2. The PLC_PRG can contain all the block calls. Consequently the program can be tested.
3. The project is saved for testing.
4. All parts of the project which are not required for this library are deleted:
- the block PLC_PRG in the "Blocks" tab and
- the objects in the "Global Variables" folder of the "Resources" tab (such as "Auslastung",
"Fehlermeldungen", "Systemkonstanten", "KT97_Onboard", etc.).
5. For the number of data segments (which can be found under
"Project/Options/Build/Number of data segments") "2" must be entered.
6. The "PLC Configuration" of the "Resources" tab must contain a PLC of series 90 (e.g.
07KT97).
7. Now the project is built one more time using the <F11> key or "Project/Rebuild All".
An error message occurs:
"The project does not contain a block PLC_PRG (vector function)".
8. To protect the library with a password, select "Project/Options/Passwords" and enter the
desired password in the fields "Password" and "Confirm Password".
9. To save the library, use
"File/Save as...".
Select "File type - Internal library (*.lib)" in the appearing dialog. The desired name for the
library is entered in the "File name" field. The file name extension LIB is automatically
attached.
Modifying a library:
To modify a library which was created this way, use "File/Open", select the file type "Library
(*.lib) and enter the file name to open the library.
Now existing blocks can be modified or deleted and/or new blocks can be added. To save the
library perform the steps 5, 6, 7 and 9 as described above in the section "Creating a library".
Caution:
The manufacturer libraries are password protected and may not be modified by the
user.

Introduction
The programming and test software 907 AC 1131 offers the option to import programs (in IL)
which were created for the controllers 07 KR91, 07 KT 92, 07 KT 93 and 07 KT 94 using the
programming and test software 907 PC 331. Aim of the import is to avoid laborious typing out of
existing programs. However, it will always be necessary to rework the programs. The
functionality of the blocks which are not contained in the 907 AC 1131 library ABB-BIB4.LIB
must be adapted. A list of these blocks can be found in the block library documentation. In
section 3.4 "Reworking the programs" the peculiarities to be observed are once again
described.
To import projects created with 907 PC 331 perform the following steps:
3.2
Create an ASCII file containing the variable list using 907 PC 331
Create an ASCII file containing the translated IL using 907 PC 331

3.2.2 Creating an ASCII file of the program (IL)

Section 2.4 "Reworking the programs" describes the peculiarities to be observed when
importing the program. Please read this section before starting the import. To facilitate the
reworking, the program should be prepared as follows:
As only comment lines are added into the instruction list which start with a semicolon, all
comment lines to be imported must start with a semicolon.
To quickly find again segment plans, a comment line with the segment plan number should
be added at the beginning of each segment plan.
The connection elements of the 907 PC 331 (I+, I-, RS, SR, =1) should also be marked by
comment lines, if they should be replaced by blocks of the 907 AC 1131 when reworking the
program.
If you have used blocks, which have been converted to several types, you have to verify
whether the constants K 00,00 or K 00,01 are assigned to the block input for selecting the
operand type. Otherwise it is possible that the wrong block is used.

Importing the programs to 907 AC 1131
3.3.1 Sequence of steps to import the program to 907 AC 1131

The project to be imported is loaded into an "empty" 907 AC 1131 project. The "empty" project
must contain the following:
A PLC_PRG block with at least one "dummy statement" (e.g. in IL LD 0, in FBD TRUE).
The libraries "Standard.lib" and "ABB-BIBx.lib" must be included in the library management.
The provided project file "ABB_LEER.PRO" already contains these entries.
Caution:
The file Step_Var.EXP must be located in the route directory of the 907 AC 1131.
Sequence of steps to import the project:

To import a project into the 907 AC 1131 perform the following steps:
Copy the files "projectname.VAR" and "projectname.AWL" into your project directory.
Start the 907 AC 1131.
Open the provided project "ABB_LEER.PRO".
Save the project under the desired project name.
Translate the project using "Project/Rebuild All" or <F11>.
Load the variables list "projectname.VAR" to the project. For that purpose, select the menu
item "Online/Import variables from ABB 907 PC 33 projects into global variables list". A
window appears to select the *.VAR files. Select your variables file. The variables list is
loaded. In the folder "Resources/Global Variables" one or several new entries (according to
the size of the variables file) "GlobalVariables3" ... "GlobalVariablesYY" and the entry
"Schrittketten" are created.
If necessary, correct the reported errors and translate the project again.
Load the program file "projectname.AWL" to the project. To do this, call the menu
"Online/Import program from ABB 907 PC 33 project". A window appears to select the
*.AWL files. Select your program file. For loading into the language IL confirm with "OK".

After successful translation, the block can be converted to Function Block Diagram (FBD).
Please verify your project after conversion. Pay special attention to program parts with set S - and reset -R - instructions.
Check your project for non-importable functionality (refer to section "Peculiarities") and
redesign them.
Set the cycle time for the program using the task configuration.
Check the system constants.
3.3.2 Importing the variables to 907 AC 1131

The variables from the variable file "projectname.VAR" are imported as global variables to the
addressable flag area "%Mxxx" of the 907 AC 1131 software.
Variable name
The unique identification of a variable is only possible via the absolute variable name (refer to
example of the variables list) because the symbolic name:
either does not have to be available,
can include special characters (symbols which are not conform to the IEC1131-3 ),
or can be assigned twice.
Therefore the variable names are generated from the absolute variable names during the
import. If a symbolic name exists, it is attached to the absolute name. Special characters are
replaced by "_".
The long text of a variable is added as a comment to the variables list.
For the constants word KW xx,yy and double word KD xx,yy the value appears in the long text
and is entered as initialization value during the import.
The variable K 00,00 (boolean constant 0) is not included in the variables list and replaced by
FALSE when importing the program. K 00,01 (boolean constant 1) is replaced by TRUE
accordingly.
The direct constants #, #H are not included in the variables list and directly entered as constants
when importing the program. As the IEC1131-3 does not allow HEX constants with the upper bit
set as INT, these numbers are displayed as negative decimal values.
Examples:
# +00001
#H 5F
#H FFFF
1
16#5F
-1
The block number B 000 is not imported to the variables list, because it is not required for
907 AC 1131 blocks.

3.3.3 Importing the programs to 907 AC 1131

After the variables were imported into the 907 AC 1131 and translated successfully after
correction (if necessary), the program IL can be loaded. The necessary steps for this procedure
are described in section "Procedure for importing the project".
During the import the ABB operators are converted into IEC operators. The ABB blocks are
converted to the corresponding 907 AC 1131 ABB blocks. The corresponding operators / blocks
are described in the block library documentation. Section 2.4 of this documentation describes all
the cases for which a program rework is necessary.
For blocks with several variants (because of duplication) the optimum block for the given
number of duplications is selected.
Example:
907 PC 331:
907 AC 1131:
FKG with 6 sample points

FKG8 and entry n:=6
For the blocks which have been converted into function blocks, instances are created
automatically as local variable (for every block call).
For the timing element blocks, a type conversion DINT_TO_TIME is inserted automatically
before the time value input.
As intermediate flag, the local variable d_u_mm_y : BOOL; is inserted.
In the operating system of the controllers 07 KR 91, 07 KT 92, 07 KT 93 and 07 KT 94, the rules
of the boolean algebra (AND before OR and MULTIPLICATION/DIVISION before
ADDITION/SUBTRACTION) are observed automatically. In order to keep this functionality also
with the 907 AC 1131, the corresponding parentheses are set while importing the project.

3.3.4 Importing the step chains

In 907 AC 1131 (as well as in the IEC 1131-3) no operands of the type step chain are available.
To import projects created with 907 PC 331, for the step chains S000,00-S255,15 the range
%MW5000-%MW5255 has been reserved in the addressable flag range %M.
While loading the variables list, the steps are correspondingly entered into the global variables.
While loading the program, the file Step_Var.EXP is loaded to the folder "Global
Variables/Schrittketten". It includes one definition of the step chain number for each step chain.
Chain0 AT %MW5000 : INT;
...
Chain255 AT %MW5255 : INT;
The steps 0...15 are defined as Step00...Step15 as follows:
Step00 : INT := 1;
Step01 : INT := 2;
Step02 : INT := 4;
...
Step15 : INT := -32768;
When importing the program the steps are called as follows:
907 PC 331
S000,00
S000,01
S255,00
S255,15

Reworking programs
After the program has been loaded, it has to be translated using "Online/Rebuild All" or <F11>.
If no errors are reported, the blocks could be imported successfully. If any errors are reported,
they can be displayed one after the other by pressing <F4>.
In the most cases, errors result from impossible type conversions which must be
reprogrammed.
Example: Cannot convert DINT to INT.
Not imported program parts

Now check the program for parts which were not imported. For this, select the menu
"Project/Global Search". Select your block "projectname [PRG]" and search for:
ERROR!!! Import not possible
The cursor then jumps to the first program part which was not imported. The program code is
included as comment with the line number of the projectname.AWL file in the new program.
Program parts which can not be imported are for instance all blocks which were not converted
into the 907 AC 1131 block library. These are blocks such as APOLL, ABORT, PE which are not
required any more.
The functionality of those blocks which are not converted (e.g. ADAPT, FEHSU, SFEHSU,
SINIT, DRUCK, EMAS) must be programmed again.
Accessing direct addresses:

If you have used blocks with direct memory access in the program, these program parts must
also be edited. Either the functionality must be reworked or the new 32 bit addresses must be
entered in any case. This can be done by placing the address operator ADR before the address
input. This particularly concerns the following blocks:
WOS
DWOS
WOL
DWOL
COPY
AWM
USM

Accessing addresses of boolean variables:

If you have used blocks in the program which access addresses of boolean variables, this
program parts must also be edited. The boolean variable input of the following blocks has to be
prefixed by the block ADR as described in the block library documentation. This particularly
concerns the following blocks:
IDLB
IDSB
INITSB
INITVB
FIFOB
LIFOB
Indirect binary reading

Indirect binary writing
Initialization of operand memory areas
Initialization of binary variables with values
Stack memory (first in/first out) for binary data
Stack memory (last in/last out) for binary data
In most cases the address operator ADR is inserted automatically. Verify for completeness.

Check the block type
Word conversion blocks:

The blocks for packing or unpacking two words into one double word and vice versa (in EBS
operating system blocks WWDW, DWWW) are loaded to the blocks WSWDW and DW2W. In
contrast to WWDW, for the block W2WDW the first word is stored in the high part of the double
word and the second word is stored in the low part of the double word. Correspondingly for
block DW2W, the low part of the double word is unpacked to the second word and the high part
of the double word is unpacked to the first word.
In order to obtain correct results again, the first and the second word at these blocks must be
changed. This is not performed automatically.
ARCNET blocks:
The block APOLL is not required any more.
For every operation at the block AREC a block AREC is generated. The operand at the
907 PC 331 AREC block output UJOB is entered to all UJOB outputs of the new AREC blocks.
When reworking, another variable of the type BOOL has to be assigned to the output UJOB
(e.g. AREC_0_UJOB ... AREC_n_UJOB). These variables must be connected with an OR
operation after the last AREC block and are to be assigned to the original variable UJOB.
The blocks ASEND, ASEND+ are transferred into the corresponding blocks ASEND1, ASEND4
and ASEND16.

CS31 system bus blocks:

The blocks CS31QU, CS31CO and CS31TE for the CS31 system bus are converted into the
corresponding blocks.
For the block CS31TE you have to observe, that one block CS31TE is generated for each
module (parameter #n in 907 PC 331). The block header (parameter 0/1, TIME, RDY, OK,
ERNO) is not converted. The outputs at the 907 PC 331 blocks MO and ME are assigned to the
outputs OK (block found, connected to bus) and AER (error module address, address not found
on bus). The output DER (error data transfer range) must be allocated a new variable
(e.g. CS31TE_n_DER : BOOL;). For an evaluation the combination of the output bits must be
observed. Explanation:

RCOM/RCOM+ blocks:
In the 907 PC 331, the RCOM/RCOM+ blocks were used as connection elements (CE). This
must be observed for programs which are using the remote protocol RCOM/RCOM+.
Correspondingly the CEs are resolved in the IL. The program code of the RCOM/RCOM+ CEs
must be replaced with the new blocks from the RCOM library.
MODBUS blocks:
The 907 AC 1131 provides uniform blocks (MODINIT, MODMAST) for the communication via
the serial interfaces COM1 and COM2 or the external MODBUS coupler 07 KP 93. For the
basic unit 07 KT 94, the setting of the MODBUS slave address is done using the system
constant
KW 00,06 / %MW3000.6.
For
the
07 KT 97,
the
system
constant
KW 00,06 / %MW3000.6 is not longer significant. The setting of the interface is done using the
MODINIT block.
The MODBUS master functionality must be programmed with the MODMAST block.

Notes concerning the OPC server
4.1
Installing the OPC server

The OPC server is installed together with the programming software 907 AC 1131. In the
AC1131 directory you can find the following files:
- CoDeSysOPC.EXE
OPC server
- OPCCFG.EXE
setting/verification of the communication parameters
- OCS_PROXY.DLL
DLL for OPC server
The registration is performed using: "CoDeSysOPC /RegServer".
The registration is executed automatically during installation.
The following entries are made (example):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH\CoDeSys
OPC\Config]
Updaterate"=dword
"Wait for target"=dword
"Sync startup"="yes"
"Public groups"="yes"
"Reconnect Interval"="dword"
"Notify on quality change"="yes"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH\CoDeSys
OPC\Connections]
"Project0"=hex (current communication parameters for the OPC server including project ID)
"Motorola0"="Yes"
"Timeout0"="dword"
The OPC server (and the gateway) is automatically started by the operating system as soon as
one of the clients establishes a connection. The server is automatically exited as soon as all
clients have cleared the connection.
Caution:
If a download to the target system is performed while the OPC server is active, its
configuration becomes invalid and all items get the quality "Bad".

For the test the following settings were selected first:
Meanings of the individual settings:
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
Motorola Byteorder: no
The target system of the project does not use Motorolas byte order (especially to be
observed for 68K, 8051, Power PC!).
Public Groups anlegen: yes

The OPC server establishes one public group for each IEC block as well as for the global
variables.
Synchrone Initialisierung: yes

When starting, the OPC server does not return until the symbol configuration is loaded.
Notification bei Quality-nderung: yes

The client is informed that the status of an object has changed (e.g. if a download was
newly performed while the OPC server was active) and is then able to initiate corresponding
actions.
Update rate (ms): 200

Basic update rate of the OPC server in milliseconds = Cycle time with which all item values
are newly read from the controller (these values are written to the Cash memory the client
communicates with using a separately defined update rate).
Wartezeit Zielsystem (s): 60

Time in seconds that the OPC server waits until the controller is ready (important for
controller autostart).
Reconnect Intervall (s): 5

Time interval for the OPC server to attempt to reestablish the connection to the controller via
the gateway after a communication break-off.
Kommunikations-Timeout (s): 3
The OPC server finishes automatically after this time period if it does not receive an answer
from the controller to a transmitted service.
Puffer-Gre (Byte): 0
Communication buffer size on the target system. If it is set to 0 it is attempted to receive this
information from the device driver. If nothing is stated there it is assumed that the buffer size
is infinite.

OPC test
Using the menu item "Konfiguration/Verbindung" the communication channel is set. This is
performed the same way as for the programming software 907 AC 1131.
As well as the serial coupling all the linking can be set as for the programming software
907 AC 1131.
After this, the settings are saved and the configurator is exited.
Note:
If another hardware is loaded on the same computer when using the programming
software 907 AC 1131, the connection to the hardware must be defined in the dialog
"Online/Communication Parameters". This setting is applied and also used for the
OPC server without any notice. Due to this, the configuration program must be started
again after the process of loading in order to correct the OPC connection.

4.1.2 Selecting the variables in the programming software 907 AC 1131

All variables to be used in the OPC server must be determined in the 907 AC 1131 software.
For this, some settings have to be made under "Project\Options\Symbol configuration".
Selecting the option "Dump symbol entries" ensures that a symbol file which provides the
selected variables for the OPC data exchange is prepared on each translation process.
Note:
The file is not written to the hard disk of the PC (C:\Winnt\Gateway Files) until the
project is sent to the target hardware. The file name is equal to the corresponding
project but with the extension "sym".
The OPC data exchange cannot be performed prior to this.
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00
4-5
OPC test
The selection of the variables is done using the button "Configure symbol file".
Note:
If you want to select individual objects (e.g. BOOL_100 in the folder "Global
variables"), first all attributes must be reset for the entire selection. This must be
concluded with the button "OK". After this, only the desired object (e.g. BOOL_100)
must be selected (or highlighted) to activate the desired attributes.
Explanation:
"Export variables of object": The variables of the desired object are written to the symbol file.
"Export data entries": Entries for accessing the total variables are created for structures and
arrays of the object. Assumption: "Export variables of object" is activated.
"Export structure components": For the structures of the object one entry is created for each
component of the variable. Assumption: ": "Export variables of object" is activated.
"Export array entries": For the arrays of the object one entry is created for each component
of the variable. Assumption: ": "Export variables of object" is activated.
"Write access": The OPC server can modify the variables of the object.

Testing the OPC server
4.2.1 Testing the starting behavior and parallel operation

A short test program (OPC_Server_Test.pro) containing 10 counters and 5 flashing flags is
loaded via the ARCNET card to a 07 KT 97 and stored in the Flash memory. All the objects of
the program are marked as OPC variables as described above. The symbol file can be
generated for all objects or only for a selection of objects, as described in the chapter "Selecting
the variables in the programming software 907 AC 1131".
Note:
The selection is not effective until the project is downloaded to the target hardware.
Using the Visiwin developers package the variables of the symbol file can be entered into a
Visiwin database in order to be available in the visualization interface. A form was filled with the
ten counters and the flashing flags. Consequently the update of the OPC variables became
continuously visible.
After rebooting the PC and starting the test client or the Visiwin application, the OPC data
exchange was restarted again without any problems.
OPC off; start 907 AC 1131 and login:
OK
PC off/on; start OPC; start 907 AC 1131 and login:
Note:
During parallel operation via ARCNET no problems will occur if both, OPC and
907 AC 1131, work to the same node. The connection established first will experience
a communication error as soon as it is attempted to operate different nodes. The
communication error in the Visiwin application will cause the computer to crash. The
ARCNET driver cannot handle 4F telegrams to different nodes at the same time.
Repeated login onto 2 different controllers containing the same program:
Altering between 2 controllers containing identical programs (node 1 and node 2) is performed
without any problems for the OPC server with the configuration program. Connection and
display were frequently altered between the two nodes during one PC session. It is of no
importance whether the login is performed via COM1 or ARCNET.
Note:
If a program requires a modification, the program must be loaded to both controllers
and stored in the Flash memory. The OPC server does not work anymore if there are
any differences between the programs on the controller and on the PC. No data
exchange is performed any more.
Using the write protection ("Write Protection Password" under
"Project\Options\Passwords") will protect against unintentional program modifications
if the same program is used for multiple controllers.

Sampling cycles
In the world of OPC two sampling cycles exist. One from the client to the server and one from
the server to the target hardware. Both sampling cycles are adjustable. They should be
synchronized, i.e. they should be in the same range.
Using its sampling interval the server reads all the defined values from the controller and writes
them to the Cash memory.
The client communicates with this Cash memory using the grid of its sampling interval.
The definition of the server sampling time (interval) is performed as described in chapter "Server
settings". Here it is the parameter "Update rate". The time is entered in milliseconds. The tests
described here were performed using fixed sampling rates of 100 ms.

4.2.3 Testing using VisiWin client

Two images (so called Forms) are created using the visualization package Visiwin, the
"Central_Form" and a "Form1". The "Central_Form" is automatically used after starting the
visualization (starting Visual Basic). It contains the following variables:
Zykluszaehler:
With every cycle this variable is incremented by 1 in the PLC test program.
Auslastung:
Corresponds to the value of %MW1259.0 in the PLC.
Prg_Rechenzeit:
Corresponds to the program calculation time which is calculated in the PLC. It is determined at
the beginning and at the end of the PLC program using the block SYS_TIME.
Zyklusdifferenz:
Internal Visiwin variable. For each recognized change of the cycle counter in the PLC, this value
is newly calculated by using the internal VisiWin variable "VW_Zykluszaehler".
The update time can be calculated using the Prg_Rechenzeit (for cyclic program processing) or
the call interval (for task configuration) and the cycle difference.
MaxZeitAenderung:
Using this internal VisiWin variable the maximum update time is displayed over the entire
running time. By clicking with the mouse on this value, a calculation restart can be performed
during running operation.
MinZeitAenderung:
Using this internal VisiWin variable the minimum update time is displayed over the entire
running time. By clicking with the mouse on this value, a calculation restart can be performed
during running operation.
In addition, the system oscillators %MX255.0, %MX255.1, %MX255.2, %MX255.4 and
%MX255.5 are displayed on the Form.
Using the button "Aufruf_Form1" the second image of the test application is opened without
OPC variables. To leave it again click on the button "Central_Form".
Note:
Using VisiWin an image sensitive variables update can be switched on. This
automatically switches off all variables which are not contained on the currently used
image (Form).
Caution:
When switching to the Form1, all the OPC variables are correctly logged off at the
server. This also sets the data exchange between the server and the target hardware.
If the "Central_Form" is now used again, the variables update does not start any more.
This condition can only be corrected by re-starting VisiWin.
Caution:
If the visualization is active and a program modification is loaded to the target
hardware, the variables update is interrupted and does not start any more.
907 AC 1131/Issue: 07/00

OPC test
The sampling time for the visualization package VisiWin is set in milliseconds using the
parameter "Abtastzeit" under "Konfigurationen/Treiber-Schnittstellen".
1st test row: fixed number of OPC variables, increasing PLC program size
Basic information:
Seven OPC variables (objects "Auslastung" and "OPC-Allgemein"). The variables used in
the figure were updated using the setting "nicht benutzte Variablen/Items abmelden".
Both sampling times set to 100 ms.
PLC program size varies.
Serial or ARCNET coupling.
The results of this test row are listed in the table located at the end of this chapter.
2nd test row: fixed PLC program size, increasing number of OPC variables
Basic information:
PLC program with binary/word processing, ARCNET telegram and MODBUS traffic.
Using the setting "nicht benutzte Variablen/Items abmelden" ensures that all variables are
always updated.
Different OPC variables (refer to the table for objects).
The symbol configuration for the objects "Auslastung", "OPC_Allgemein" and "Int_1000" is
established using 907 AC 1131.
The number of OPC variables is adapted in the VisiWin data base using "Objekt/Aktivieren"
or "Objekt/Deaktivieren". This results in the number 200, 300, etc.
Caution:
Only 499 OPC variables (as arranged in the table) can be called via the OPC server.
The PLC will crash (restart!) if 500 variables are defined.

4.2.4 Testing using WIZCON client

Using the visualization package WIZCON an image is created which contains the following
variables:
Zykluszaehler:
With every cycle this variable is incremented by 1 in the PLC test program.
Auslastung:
Corresponds to the value of %MW1259.0 in the PLC.
Programmrechenzeit:
Corresponds to the program calculation time which is calculated in the PLC. It is determined at
the beginning and at the end of the PLC program using the block SYS_TIME.
Zyklusdifferenz:
Internal WIZCON variable. For each recognized change of the cycle counter in the PLC, this
value is newly calculated by using the internal WIZCON variable "VW_Zykluszaehler".
The "Aenderungszeit" can be calculated using the program calculation time (for cyclic program
processing) or the call interval (for task configuration) and the cycle difference.
Aenderungszeit:
This variable always displays the result of the multiplication cycle difference * program
calculation time. For cyclic program processing this is the OPC update time. The
"Aenderungszeit" was simultaneously entered into a diagram that a curve shape was also
available for the min-max evaluation.
In addition, the system oscillators %MX255.0, %MX255.1, %MX255.2, %MX255.4 and
%MX255.5 are displayed on the Form.
Note:
WIZCON always updates all defined gates. That means there is no image sensitive
switch-on/off of the gates. Therefore it was not possible to switch on/off OPC variables
during a running application by altering the image (refer to test with VisWin).
Adding/deleting of gates is performed "online". If a current image variable is deleted
the status "bad" is assigned. It is then no longer updated. Adding this variable again
does not automatically result in an update of the image. The current value of the
variable is not visible until the image is switched off and called again.
Caution:
When installing the communication driver under
"Konfiguration/Kommunikationstreiber", the CoDeSys server is not offered in the
combo box. This means that it is not recognized. Communication was only possible
after it was entered manually into the combo box.

OPC test
In WIZCON the sampling time is given for each gate. The setting can be made in seconds and
milliseconds.
1st test row: fixed number of OPC variables, increasing PLC program size
Basic information:
Seven OPC variables (objects "Auslastung" and "OPC-Allgemein").

PLC program size varies.
Serial or ARCNET coupling.
2nd test row: fixed PLC program size, increasing number of OPC variables
Basic information:
PLC program with binary/word processing, ARCNET telegram and MODBUS traffic.
Different OPC variables (refer to the table for objects).
The symbol configuration for the objects "Auslastung", "OPC_Allgemein" and "Int_1000" is
established using 907 AC 1131.
The number of OPC variables is adapted in the WIZCON gate definition by adding or
deleting them. This results in the number 200, 300, etc.
Caution:
Only 499 OPC variables (as arranged in the table) can be called via the OPC server.
The PLC will crash (restart!) if 500 variables are defined.
