Transparent Factory Concept
Presentation
The Transparent Factory concept is presented by Schneider Electric as a means of

providing transparent communication between PLC devices, production and
management. Network technologies and new services associated with these enable
data to be shared and distributed between sensors, PLCs, workstations and
third-party devices in a more and more effective way.
Web servers built into the network components and PLC devices can be used to:
b Transparent access to configuration data.
b Perform remote diagnostics.
b Integrate simple human/machine interface functions.
This concept is based on the Ethernet TCP/IP industrial standard which offers a
single network and which satisfies most communication requirements from the
sensors/actuators to the production management systems.
Where various communication systems are usually required, the standard
technologies used in Transparent Factory can be used to achieve major savings in
terms of definition, installation, maintenance or training.
The Transparent Factory concept is based on:
b Services based on Ethernet TCP/IP and which satisfy PLC constraints in terms of
functionalities, performance and service quality.
b Products including Several PLC ranges, distributed I/Os, industrial terminals,
variable speed drives, gateways and a growing number of partner products.
b A ConneXium wiring offer; ConneXium is an accessory range of hubs, switches
and cables adapted to the environment and its industrial constraints.

Modbus communication standard
Modbus, the industrial communication standard since 1979, has been combined with
Ethernet TCP/IP, which supports the Internet revolution, to make Modbus TCP/IP, a
completely open Ethernet protocol. The development of a connection to Modbus
TCP/IP requires no proprietary component or license purchase.
This protocol may be easily combined with any device supporting a standard TCP/IP
communication stack. Specifications can be obtained free of charge from the
website: www.modbus.org.
Modbus TCP, simple and open

The Modbus application layer is very simple and universally recognized. Thousands
of manufacturers are already implementing this protocol. Many have already
developed a Modbus TCP/IP connection and many products are currently available.
The simplicity of Modbus TCP/IP enables any small field team, such as an I/O
module, to communicate over Ethernet without the need for a powerful
micro-processor or a lot of internal memory.
Modbus TCP, high-performance

Because of the simplicity of its protocol and the high speed of 100 M bits/s Ethernet,
Modbus TCP/IP delivers excellent performance. This means it is possible to use this
type of network in real-time applications such as I/O Scanning. See page 5/18.

Presentation (continued), Premium automation platform 5
services Ethernet TCP/IP network

Transparent Factory Concept
Modbus TCP/IP, one standard

An identical application protocol is used for Modbus serial link, Modbus Plus or
Modbus TCP. This therefore makes it possible to route messages from a network to
another without changing protocol.
As Modbus is implemented above the TCP/IP layer, users can also benefit from the
IP routing which enables devices located anywhere in the world to communicate
without having to worry about the distance between them.
Schneider offers an entire range of gateways for interconnecting a Modbus TCP/IP
network to already existing Modbus Plus or Modbus serial link networks. For further
details, consult our regional sales office.
The IANA institute (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) has assigned Schneider
port TCP 502 (Well known port), which is reserved for the Modbus protocol. This
protocol will shortly be also subject to an RFC (Request For Comments), documents
which form standard references within the Internet community.

diagnostics. BOOTP/DHCP is used to automatically provide the devices with the IP parameters. 5
This avoids having to manage the addresses of each device individually.
Management is instead performed in a dedicated IP address server.
DHCP protocol (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used to automatically
assign the devices their configuration parameters. DHCP is an extension of BOOTP.
DHCP protocol is made up of 2 components:
v One for providing the IP network address,
v One for providing the IP parameters specific to the device from a DHCP server.
Schneider Electric devices can be:
v BOOTP clients allowing automatic recovery of an IP address from a server,
v BOOTP servers enabling a device to distribute IP addresses to the network
stations.
Schneider uses standard BOOTP/DHCP protocols for its Faulty Device
Replacement service (FDR).
b FTP "File Transfer Protocol" (RFCs 959, 2228, and 2640)

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) provides basic file sharing elements. Many systems use
FTP protocol to exchange files between devices.
Transparent Factory devices implement FTP for transferring certain data to or from
devices, in particular when downloading firmware or user Web pages.
b SNMP "Simple Network Management Protocol" (RFCs 1155, 1156 and 1157)
The Internet community developed standard SNMP for managing the different
components of a network through a single system. The network management system
can exchange data with SNMP agent devices. This function enables the manager to
view the status of the network and devices, modify their configuration and feed back
alarms in the event of failure.
Transparent Factory devices are SNMP-compatible and can be integrated naturally
in a network managed via SNMP.
b COM/DCOM "Distributed Component Object Model"

COM/DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) or OLE (Object Linking and
Embedding) is the name of the technology used in Windows components. This
enables Windows applications to communicate transparently.
These technologies are used in the OFS Data server software. See pages 8/14 and
8/15.

Control level 1
Communication between MES/ERP systems and PLCs
At this level, what is needed is communication via a standard protocol infrastructure

enabling large volumes of data to be exchanged with production management
systems. In certain cases, the PLC must be able to adapt to the protocol of the
connected system. Response times are not critical.
The following Transparent Factory services are mainly used:

b HTTP communication, data viewing via Web pages and Java Applets.
b Exchanges in compliance with the OPC (OLE for Process Control) standard via an
OFS data server.
b TCP/IP Modbus message handling.
b Open TCP.
Communication between supervision systems and PLCs
For this type of communication, it is also necessary to transfer large volumes of data
to a group of PLCs.
The required response time is between 0.5 and 2 seconds.
The following Transparent Factory services are used:

b TCP/IP Modbus message handling.
b Data exchanges in compliance with the OPC standard via an OFS data server.
b Open TCP.
Communication between IHM applications and "field" PLCs/devices
An elementary HMI (Human/Machine Interface) application must allow the status of 5

a field device to be viewed by maintenance personnel.
The following Transparent Factory services are used:

b HTTP server and communication.
b Data display through personalized Web pages.


Inter-PLC level 2
Communication to PLCs for programming, diagnostics and data transfer
Simple communication interfaces are required to provide exchanges with the PLCs.
Point-to-point data is sent according to the programming algorithms or on demand,
for access at the initiative of a programming or diagnostics terminal.
The required response time is between 0.2 and 1 seconds.
The main Transparent Factory service used is Modbus TCP/IP message handling.
Inter-PLC communication for synchronizing applications
Broadcast communications must enable several applications to be synchronized

through real-time exchanges. In this case the volume of exchanged data is reliable.
The required response time is between 10 and 500 milliseconds.
The Global Data service of Transparent Factory is particularly well suited to this type
of exchange.
Field level 3
Communication between the PLC and field devices for managing the
automation process
PLC applications are essentially responsible for managing the inputs and outputs of
peripheral devices. Data must be transferred to all devices in a quick, deterministic
and repetitive way.
The required response time is between 10 and 100 milliseconds.
5 The Transparent Factory service I/O Scanner is used to meet these requirements.
Communication between the PC and field PLCs or devices
This type of communication is used to configure, monitor and maintain

workshop-level devices. It must remain simple in order for less well-trained personnel
to access the first diagnostics level from a standard PC.
T he adapted Transparent Factory services are:

b HTTP server for displaying diagnostics Web pages and customized Web pages.
b Standard SNMP network management protocol.

These services provide high-performance and reliable communication in Schneider

architectures featuring Quantum/Premium/Momentum/Micro PLCs.
However, in certain cases it is also necessary for these architectures to communicate
with the installed base, or with third-party devices:
b Communication with the Schneider Electric installed base.
The Transparent Factory architecture offers a number of means of facilitating the

5
extension of existing installations. These are the portability of applications, upgrade
procedures, the growing compatibility of protocols, the availability of gateways for
interconnecting the different networks, etc.
b Interoperability with third-party devices or protocols.
Finally, certain applications need to communicate with devices from other suppliers
than Schneider Electric. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, through access
to standard protocols from the PLC (Open TCP message handling) or through the
hosting of Schneider protocols in third-party devices. See the Schneider Alliances
partnership program on page 9/10.

Management, Modbus TCP/IP and TCP Open functions).
b Standard Web server (Rack Viewer and Data Editor functions).
b FactoryCast user Web server (user-defined Web page, Alarm Viewer and Graphic
Standard Web server DATA editor functions). This user Web server is available on FactoryCast TF
Ethernet-type modules.
The standard embedded Web server is a real time data PLC server. All PLC data is
Communication given in the form of standard HTML format Web pages, and can therefore be
Transparent Factory accessed by any Internet browsers capable of executing embedded Java code.
All of the functions provided by the embedded Web server do not require any
configuration or programming, either at PLC level, or at the compatible PC
supporting the Internet browser.
Services of the TF Ethernet PLC modules
The FactoryCast services can also be used to enhance TF Ethernet FactoryCast
modules with user Web pages that are defined and transferred using the FactoryCast
configuration software.
Standard Web server

"Rack Viewer" function, PLC diagnostics
The predefined "Rack Viewer" function (display of PLC rack) provides system
diagnostics for the PLC connected to the network via any TF Ethernet module. This
is a predefined, secure function (accessed by a password) enabling the following to
5 be displayed in real-time using a standard browser:
b The status of the LEDs on the front panel of the PLC.

b The PLC version type.
b The hardware configuration of the PLC with the status of the system words and
bits.
b The detailed diagnostics of each I/O or application-specific module sharing this
configuration.
"Data editor" function, access to the PLC data and variables
The access to variables function is a predefined and secure function (accessible by

password) used to create an animation table to access the list of PLC variables in
read or write.
The variables to be displayed can be entered and displayed either in symbolic

(S_Pump 234) or identifier (%MW99) form. These variables can only be write
accessed if they have been declared "authorized" using the FactoryCast
configuration software. In order to write a value in a variable, you will need to enter
and validate a second password.
Animation tables, containing certain application variables to be monitored or

modified, can be created by the user and saved in any TF Ethernet module.

"Alarm viewer" function, alarm display
The alarm display function is a predefined function protected by a password. It is

available with Premium PLCs, and can be used to process the alarms (display,
acknowledgment and deletion) that are managed at PLC level, using monitoring
function blocks known as Diagnostic DFBs. These alarms are processed in the same
way to those of the "display viewers" included in the PL7 Pro installation software,
Vijeo Look and Monitor Pro monitoring software packages, as well as in the CCX 17
control panels or Magelis XBT-F/T XBT-F terminals.
"Graphic Data Editor" function, graphic object editor
The graphic object editor function is used to create graphic displays, including of
animated graphic objects, linked to the PLC variables.
These customized displays can be used in user Web pages created using the
FactoryCast configuration software.
These displays are created using simple cut/paste operations, and the objects are
set according to the needs of the user (color, PLC variables, name, etc.). Once the
displays have been created, they can be saved in a transparent way in FactoryCast
TF Ethernet modules.
Display of user Web pages
FactoryCast TF Ethernet modules also have an 8 M byte Flash EPROM-type

memory (1). This is accessible as a hard disk, and can be used to receive (host) Web
pages defined by the user. 5
These Web pages can be created using any standard tool (2) that lets you create and
edit in HTML format. These pages can be enhanced by inserting animated graphic
objects linked to the PLC variables, which are provided by the graphic object editor.
Once created, these Web pages allow you to:

b Display all PLC variables in real time.
b Insert hyperlinks to external servers (documentation, suppliers, etc.).
This function is particularly suitable for creating graphics and images to be used for:
b Display, monitoring, diagnostics.
b Drawing up real-time production reports.
b Maintenance assistance.
b User manuals.
FactoryCast configuration tool for the embedded user WEB server
The FactoryCast configuration software, supplied on CD-ROM with every

FactoryCast TF Ethernet module, allows you to configure and administer the Web
server embedded in these modules. It is common to the Micro, Premium and
Quantum automation platforms and is Windows 95/98 and Windows NT compatible.
It provides the following functions:

b Secure access.
b Definition of the User names and associated passwords for accessing the Web
pages.
b Definition of access to the variables authorized in modification mode.
b Save/restore a complete Web site.
b Transfer of Web pages created in local mode by the user on a PC-compatible
workstation to the FactoryCast TF Ethernet module and vice versa.
(1) Memory is insensitive to power outages and to PLC resets.

I/O Scanning and Global Data services
I/O Scanning service
Word table
Read Write
Ethernet TCP/IP
Input words
Output words
of devices
The I/O Scanning service can be used to manage the exchange of distributed I/Os
on the Ethernet network after a simple configuration operation, with no need for
special programming.
The I/Os are scanned transparently by means of read/write requests according to the
Modbus Master/Slave protocol on the TCP/IP profile. This principle of scanning via
a standard protocol enables communication with any device which supports a
Modbus server on TCP/IP.
This service can be used to define :
5 b An %MW word zone reserved for reading inputs.
b An %MW word zone reserved for writing outputs.
b Refresh periods independent of the PLC scan.
During operation, the module :
b Manages the TCP/IP connections with each of the distributed devices.
b Scans the devices and copies the I/Os into the configured %MW word zone.
b Feeds back status words so that correct operation of the service can be monitored
from the PLC application.
b Applies the preconfigured fallback values in the event of a communication
problem.
Within the framework of the Schneider Alliances partnership program, Schneider
Electric has developed an offer of hardware and software products which enable the
I/O Scanning protocol to be implemented on any type of product which can be
connected to the Ethernet network (please consult your Regional Sales Office).
Characteristics : 64 stations can exchange a maximum of 120 words each. The

maximum size for all 64 stations in the PLC managing the service is 2 K %MW in
inputs and 2 K %MW in outputs.
Replacement service for faulty devices

(FDR, Faulty Device Replacement)
The Faulty Device Replacement service uses the standard BOOTP, DHCP, file
management and TFTP technologies with the objective of simplifying Ethernet
device maintenance.
It enables a faulty device to be replaced by a new product while guaranteeing its
detection, reconfiguration, and automatic restart by the system, without difficult
manual intervention.
The principal steps are :
b A device using the FDR service is faulty.
b Another similar device is taken from the maintenance pool, preconfigured with the
role_name (or identifier) of the device that is out of service, then reinstalled on the
network.
b The FDR server (which can be a Quantum or Premium PLC Ethernet module)
detects the new addition, configures its IP address and transfers all configuration
parameters to it.
b The substituted device verifies if all the parameters are indeed compatible with its
own characteristics, then switches to operating mode.


I/O Scanning and Global Data services
I/O Scanning service diagnostics
I/O Scanning service diagnostics can be performed in 3 ways :

b By the application program from a data field specific to the PLC.
b From the debugging screen in the installation software.
b From the PLC system diagnostics function viewed with the Internet browser on a
PC station.
Global Data service
The Global Data service ensures data exchanges in real time between stations
belonging to the same distribution group. It is used to synchronize remote
applications, or share a common database among several distributed applications.
The exchanges are based on a standard producer/consumer protocol, guaranteeing
optimal performance while maintaining a minimum network load. This RTPS (Real
Time Publisher Subscriber) protocol is promoted by the IDA (Interface For
Distributed Automation) organization, and has already been adopted as a standard
by several manufacturers.
Distribution group 1
Data exchange of 4 Kb max.
IP multicast 239.255.255.251
Ethernet TCP/IP
IP multicast 239,255,255,250
Data exchange of 4 Kb max.
Distribution group 2
Characteristics : A maximum of 64 stations can participate in Global Data within the

same distribution group.
Each station can :
b Publish one 1024-byte variable. The publication period can be configured from
1 to n periods of the MAST task of the processor.
b Subscribe to between 1 and 64 variables. Validity for each variable is controlled by
Health Status Bits, linked to a refresh timeout configurable between 50 ms and 1 s.
Access to a variable element is not possible. The total size of the subscribed
variables reaches 4 K contiguous bytes.
In order to optimize Ethernet network performance further still, Global Data can be
configured with the "multicast filtering" option, which together with switches in the
ConneXium range, perform data broadcasting only on Ethernet ports, where there is
a Global Data service subscriber station. If these switches are not used, Global Data
is transmitted in "multicast" on all switch ports.
Global Data service diagnostics
The diagnostics screens use a color code to show Global Data status :
b Configured/not configured/faulty.
b Published/subscribed.


SNMP and TCP Open services
SNMP service protocol
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol is used, from a network
management station, to monitor and control all Ethernet architecture components
and thus ensure rapid diagnostics if a problem occurs.
It is used to:
b Query devices such as computer stations, routers, switches, bridges or terminal
devices (DTE) in order to view their status.
b Obtain statistics for the network on which the devices are connected.
This management software respects the traditional Client/Server model. However, in
order to avoid confusion with other communication protocols using this terminology,
we prefer to use the expression:
b Network manager for the Client application running on the computer station.
b SNMP agent for the server application that runs on the device.
Transparent Factory can be managed by any SNMP network manager, including
HP Openview or IBM Netview.
Standard SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to access

configuration and management objects included in the MIB (Management
Information Base) for the devices. These MIBs must comply with certain standards
in order to be accessed by all managers on the market. However, depending on the
device complexity, manufacturers can add certain objects to the private databases.
The Schneider Electric Transparent Factory private MIB includes management

objects specific to the Schneider offer. These objects simplify installation,
implementation, and maintenance for Schneider Transparent Factory products in an
open environment using standard network management tools.
The Transparent Factory products support 2 SNMP network management levels:
b Standard MIB II, a first level of network management, can be accessed via this
interface. It lets the manager identify the devices forming the architecture and
5 retrieve general information on the configuration and operation of the Ethernet
TCP/IP interfaces.
b MIB Transparent Factory interface; management of the Transparent Factory
devices is improved via this interface. This MIB includes a set of data that enables
the network management system to supervise all the Schneider Transparent Factory
services.
The Schneider Electric Transparent Factory private MIB can be downloaded from the
Web server from any Ethernet Transparent Factory module in a PLC.
Open TCP
OSI Model Ethernet TCP/IP profile Premium platform Ethernet modules support a number of communication protocols
based on the TCP/IP standard.

access This is the case when, for example, users wish to integrate Premium platforms into
existing architectures which use a particular communication protocol, possibly a
5 Session
proprietary one.
To meet these needs for open access, 2 interface levels are included in the
4 Transport TCP Schneider offer:
b A library of basic functions, which can be used in C language, enables direct
access to the socket interface on TCP. The user can thus create his own
3 Network IP communication functions using SDKC development software and take advantage of
the ease of use which this program offers in terms of development and debugging.
Once generated, these function blocks are used in the application like any standard
2 Link ISO 8802.2 - ISO 8802.3
PL7 programming software function block.
b A library of basic function blocks known as EFs, which can be used directly in the
1 Physical ISO 8802.3 (Ethernet)
application programs with PL7 language. These are the same as functions
10/100 Mbps developed in C language seen earlier, but are designed for use by non-computer
specialists. These EF function blocks are not modifiable.


SNMP and TCP Open services
Open TCP (continued)

Functions
Operating in TCP connection client/server mode, the basic functions on the Berkeley
socket interface enable:
b Management of 16 connections on the Open profile out of a maximum of 32
b Creation of sockets and their attachment to any TCP port.
b Switching of these sockets to "listen for a connection request from a remote client"
mode.
b Opening of a connection.
b Transmission and reception of data on these connections (8 bytes max.).
b Closing this connection.
Description
The TCP Open offer consists of a CD-ROM containing the TCP/IP function libraries.
Open access on TCP is only possible via TSX ETY 110WS/5102 Ethernet modules
(1). With open access on TCP, all the basic functions of TSX ETY 110 WS/5102
modules can be used.
The TCP/IP TLX CD TCP 42M function library comprises:

b The SDKC program enhancement library that provides access to the module
TCP/IP socket functions.
b The user's manual in English (no printed version).
b EF elementary communication function blocks (Socket/Bind/Listen/Accept/
Shutdown/Close/Send/Receive/Select/Set_Socket Option/Connect) for installation
using PL7 software (version u V3.3).
b Higher level EF function blocks, provided by way of example, which can perform
more advanced functions such as the complete sequence for establishing or closing
a connection, or sending or receiving data. The source files for all these EF blocks
are also supplied.
b An example of a PL7 application communicating with a TELNET application on a PC.
5
If dedicated function blocks need to be created, the SDKC program for C language
function development, version u V3.3 should be installed on the development station
(see page 6/27).
Setup precautions
The development of C language functions requires compliance with certain setup

precautions:
b To set up these services, the user should be familiar with the TCP/IP profile.
b In addition, since the SDKC program enables access to all the PLC internal
resources, all the necessary precautions should be taken when developing EF
communication blocks to avoid endangering the PL7 application, especially on the
commonly fragile operating modes such as cold/warm restarts, response to a fault, etc.
b The user should also take care to maintain the requests from the different
communication profiles at a level compatible with the performance required by the
application.
b Finally, it is the responsibility of the client application software (PL7 or C program)
to manage the operating modes for communication which may be specific to the
application, for example the behavior if a remote device fails to respond or in the
event of a break in connection.
For these different reasons, we recommend that you consult your Regional Sales
Office to ensure that your TCP protocol open access project is feasible.
(1) Open access on TCP requires TSX ETY 110 WS modules, version u PV 03 and SV 2.9. In
addition, it should be integrated on a configuration with a TSX P57 pp 3 processor
(or TSX P57 pp 2 version > V3.3).

Performance
Selecting the communication architecture
When selecting an architecture, it is advisable to take performance into account at

the earliest possible stage.
For this, the designer must:

b Have a clear idea of his needs as regards:
v quantity and type of devices to be interconnected,
v volume and type of exchanges,
v expected response times,
v environment.
b Compare his needs with the characteristics of the offers available and be aware
that the precise performance level between any 2 points on an architecture is
dependent on the weakest link in the chain, which can be:
v a function of the hardware,
v but also a function of the applications (size, architecture, OS, machine power, etc.)
which are often poorly defined at this stage of project.
b Select the most suitable architecture.
The objective of the following pages is to answer the second point by explaining the
performance of the different components which constitute an Ethernet architecture,
concentrating on the following 2 aspects:
b Processing capacity in terms of volume of exchanges (see pages 5/23 and 5/24).
b Application response time (see page 5/25).
Introduction
As in any communication system, the performance of an Ethernet architecture is

5 linked to numerous parameters which depend on the:
b Hardware used:
v network bandwidth,
v module resources,
v processor resources (PLC, PC or other CPUs).
b Application services used:

v Modbus (or Uni-TE) industrial messaging handling service,
v Global Data service,
v I/O Scanning service,
v Others (Web access, TCP Open communication).
The difficulty in determining the correct size of an architecture is due to the fact that
the majority of these parameters are linked.
Notes
b For purposes of simplification, the values shown in the tables which follow have
been reduced. If these are adhered to, correct operation of the architecture is
ensured. If the performance levels obtained are not sufficient, please consult our
Regional Sales Office for a more detailed study.
b The performance levels indicated depend relatively little on the size of messages.
Limiting factors have much more to do with the number of messages. It is therefore
necessary to group as much useful information as possible within the same message
using the most suitable Modbus request.

Characteristics (continued) Premium automation platform 5

Performance
Processing capacity in terms of volume of exchanges
The methodology presented below in 4 steps can be used to determine the message
processing capacity on Ethernet TCP/IP.
Step 1: calculation of exchanges necessary for the application
Using the tables below, calculate the exchanges necessary for the application, i.e.
for each station on the architecture and for each service used, the number of
messages to be transmitted and received per second.
Messages transmitted per Station A Station B Station N Total number

Step 2: station processor processing capacity (system requests)
Using the table below, compare the total number of messages received via the
Modbus and Uni-TE service for each station (value R1, R2 or Ri) with the station
processor processing capacity. If the result of this initial calculation is positive,
go to step 3.

Step 3: bus or network module processing capacity
For each station, compare the total number of messages received ( [values Ri, Rj]
and the total number of messages transmitted ( [values Ei, Ej] for station N, for
example) with the bus or network processing capacity shown below. If the result of
this second calculation is positive, go to step 4.

Network bandwidth management in the Ethernet TCP/IP modules
The bandwidth management service shows load level for the Ethernet module.
5 This enables the user to monitor any drift and anticipate possible problems.
Ethernet module load is indicated in 3 ways:

b Anticipated load in the PL7 configuration screen.
b Actual load in the PL7 diagnostics/debugging screen, as well as in Web
diagnostics pages. The load is displayed as a bar graph, animated in real time.
b In the SNMP interface for access to the SNMP network manager.
The bandwidth is shown as a percentage for each of the following services:

b Modbus (and Uni-TE) message handling.
b I/O Scanning.
b Global Data.
b Other.
Step 4: network load
In spite of the large bandwidth of an Ethernet Network (100 Mbps), the user must
ensure that the actual application load does not exceed 25 to 30 % of the hypothetical
network capacity. If this should occur, this load must be reduced via a switched
architecture (use of switches). See page 5/36.
(1) 100 % of the module load corresponds to the processing of 450 message transactions, or
2000 distributed input/output pollings, or 800 Global Data subscriptions. If these services are
used partially, then the module load will be calculated proportionately.

Industrial Ethernet networks can use various standards. In each case, a set of rules
must be respected when determining what topology will be produced and with what
performance level.

build a network architecture: hubs, switches, transceivers and cables. Wiring rules
pertaining to the ConneXium offer are described on pages 5/32 to 5/37.

Installation principles
The Ethernet 802.3 Link Layer is based on a collision detection mechanism

(CSMA CD). Each station (DTE, Data Terminal Equipment) sends its data when
necessary and verifies if the frame has been correctly propagated. If a collision with
a frame sent by another station is detected, the station repeats the message after a
timeout, which increases the network load and thus the probability that another
collision will occur.
The transceivers or hubs (repeaters) are used to regenerate the signal once the
physical limits of the medium have been reached. They also propagate collisions, if
there are any.
Because of the transmission time needed to send data from one end of the network
to the other, a maximum network length exists, beyond which collisions might not be
detected by the sender. For this reason, and for each technology, a network size limit
has been set. This is described as the "maximum network diameter" within a same
collision domain.

Installation rules Premium automation platform 5

Architectures in a same collision domain
Various architectures may exist, depending on each standard:
b Line or bus topology, using transceivers.

b Star network topology, using hubs.
b Tree network topology, using hubs.
Transceivers are also used for transmitting signals between 2 dissimilar media such
as fiber optic and twisted pair cables.
In addition, the hubs (or concentrators) are also used to transmit signals among
several media (ports).
The transceivers and hubs are plug and play devices.

Depending on the Ethernet standard employed, the network size can vary. To define
the correct architecture, the 2 constraints of maximum segment length and maximum
network diameter must be respected. The Schneider ConneXium performances
make it possible, in some situations, to surpass the limits of the 802.3 standard.

Architectures with several collision domains
Switched devices enable the limits of the above-described architectures to be

increased. Switches are used for communicating between 2 or more collision
domains. Communication for the upper layers is guaranteed among the different
ports and collisions at the link layer level are not propagated (filtering).
Switches are plug and play devices that can be remotely administered via SNMP
or HTTP. They essentially contribute 2 functions:
b Extension of the architecture to surpass the "maximum network diameter".

b Improvement of performance by a better allocation of bandwidth due to reduction
in collisions and network load. In addition, switches in the ConneXium range support
multicast filtering via the standard GARP/GMRP protocol, which optimizes
performances of the Global Data service. With these products, multicast frames are
transmitted only on switch ports where stations subscribing to the Global Data
service are connected. ConneXium switches also support the Faulty Device
Replacement (FDR) service, as well as the Schneider Electric Transparent Factory
private MIB for managing devices via the SNMP network management protocol.
Rule 3: to be respected when switches are used
b Switches are DTE devices that can be connected to hubs or directly connected to
devices. Rules 1 and 2, mentioned previously, thus apply.
b When 2 switches are connected, the line can be in Full Duplex, which removes the
risk of collisions and allows the effective data rate to be doubled. The rules related to
the collision domain thus do not apply, and only those imposed by the physical limits
should be observed.
For example, 2 switches may be connected on their 100baseFX ports via a fiber optic
cable 3,000 m in length.

up to 40 km using monomode optical fiber (outside supply).

page 5/32 pages 5/32 to 5/37


Routers
In general, routers are used at the Enterprise's network level, in order to link different
units or sites. They are sometimes associated with security functions such as
firewalls for filtering remote access.
A router must be configured to enable it to recognize where messages must be

routed. Routing mechanisms are based on the IP address. Stations are grouped on
the same subnet according to their IP addresses and their subnet mask.
Every message addressed to a remote network will be transmitted to the router,

which ensures routing to the correct destination.
All of our Ethernet modules can be configured with a default gateway address and a
subnet mask, complying with the IP standard.
On the factory floor level, a switch is less expensive than a router, performs better,
and is easier to install ("plug and play").
Redundancy
The architectures previously described can be created to have greater availability by

using hubs or specific switches, linked to redundant copper or fiber optic rings. If the
ring is broken, communication is seamlessly restored in less than 500 ms.
These products are available with the possibility to create a redundant power supply.
Associated with the Warm or Hot Standby offers, they guarantee maximum
availability of the automation installations.
The various possible redundant topologies are: 5

1 10 Mbps copper or fiber optic redundant ring topology, with redundant hubs.
2 100 Mbps fiber optic ring redundant topology with redundant switches: maximum
commutation time from the "normal" line to the "emergency" line of 500 ms for a
redundant ring with 50 switches.
3 100 Mbps redundant fiber optic multiple ring topology with redundant switches:
maximum commutation time from the "normal" line to the "emergency" line
of 500 ms.

ConneXium industrial Ethernet
Presentation
As part of its Transparent Factory family of products, Schneider Electric offers a
range of industrially hardened network hubs, switches, transceivers, bridges, and
cables. These Ethernet-standard communication components enable you to
integrate Ethernet solutions from the device level to the control network, and beyond
to the corporate intranet. Each ConneXium Industrial Ethernet product is designed
with compliance to Ethernet standards, and with third-party compatibility in mind.
b ConneXium Hubs connect devices and provide segments to shared

communication among PLCs. TF Hubs are low-cost solutions which enable
communications with devices, such as Momentum I/O, to Ethernet networks.
b ConneXium Switches segment the application in different zones, groups, or

cells/machines. The proper placement of switches can increase network
performance by relieving network congestion. TF switches implement SNMP
protocol, allowing standard network management tools to monitor and diagnose the
network, and thus are a key architectural component for real-time and deterministic
network communication.
b ConneXium Transceivers provide connections to fiber optic networks in areas of

high electromagnetic interference. The use of multiple transceivers enables long
distances between process areas.
b ConneXium Bridges enable Modbus to Ethernet and Modbus Plus to Ethernet

communications, with multiple ports allowing flexibility among network components.
b ConneXium Cables connect each automation device to the attached hub, switch,
transceiver, or bridge. Cables are available in fiber optic and twisted pair options,
with a wide variety of connectors and cable lengths.
5 All Ethernet cabling system components are built to rigorous industrial standards,
and are designed to perform in harsh environments. ConneXium Switches and Hubs
support a high level of resilience. Their scalable redundant features - from single to
double ring structure - make it easy to build the kind of fault-tolerant network that fits
the specific requirements of your environment.

power supply
The bus comprises a Master station (Premium PLC) and Slave stations. The Master
that supports the AS-i profile successively interrogates the devices connected on the
AS-i bus and stores the data (status of sensor/actuators, operational status of
devices) in the PLC memory. Communication management on the AS-i bus is
completely transparent with regard to the PLC application program. Two types of
AS-i profile are supported according to the type of Master Premium module:
5 b TSX SAY 100: master module with the AS-i M2 profile (AS-i V1) managing only
discrete slave devices (maximum of 31 devices).
b TSX SAY 1000: master module with the AS-i M2E profile (AS-i V2)
managing discrete slave devices (a maximum of 62 devices organized in 2 banks,
A/B, with 31 addresses each), analog devices (a maximum of 31 devices in bank A)
and safety interfaces (a maximum of 31 devices in bank A).
The maximum number of TSX SAY 100/1000 modules per PLC station is either 2,4,
or 8, depending on the type of processor installed (see page 5/47).
An AS-i power supply must be used for powering the various devices on the bus.
Ideally, this PSU should be situated nearest to the stations with the largest power
demands.

Software setup Premium automation platform 5
Master modules for AS-i bus
Software setup
The AS-i bus is configured using PL7 Micro/Junior/Pro software. The services
offered are based on the principle of simplicity:
b Management of profile tables, parameters and data by the master (this
management is transparent to the user).
b Topological I/O addressing: each AS-i slave declared on the bus is assigned a
topological address on the bus. This is transparent to the user.
b Each sensor/actuator for the AS-i bus interfaces is treated as an in-rack I/O by the
Micro/Premium PLC.
AS-i bus configuration
All devices on the AS-i bus are configured implicitly using the following sequence of
screens:
Declaration of the AS-i bus master module
b The TSX SAZ 10 module is always inserted and declared in position no. 4 on
TSX 37-10/21/22 Micro automation platforms.
Declaration of the TSX SAZ 10 Micro module b TSX SAY 100/1000 modules can be inserted into any position on TSX/PCX 57
Premium automation platforms (except positions reserved for processors and power
supplies).
Configuration of AS-i slave devices
Using the configuration screen, it is possible to configure all the slave devices
5 corresponding to all interface I/Os on the AS-i bus. Depending on its type, the
configuration for each device consists of defining, as appropriate:
b Schneider Electric AS-i devices.

The user selects the AS-i device catalog reference from the various discrete, analog,
or safety interfaces listed. This selection automatically determines the AS-i profile
and the parameters associated with each interface.
b Third-party AS-i device.

The user can use PL7 Micro/Junior software to manage a "customized" list of
sensors/actuators of different brands. This list, specifying the AS-i profile and
parameters, is compiled to meet the needs of the user.
Configuration of slave devices for TSX SAY 100 Programming
After configuration, the I/Os connected on the AS-i bus are processed by the
application program in the same way as an in-rack I/O of the PLC, using either the
address (e.g. %I\4.0\16.2, input 2 of slave 16 of the AS-i bus), or the associated
symbol (e.g. Start_conveyor).

Diagnostics
1
Diagnostics performed using the centralized display unit of the Micro platform or
using the display unit of TSX SAY 100/1000 modules can be completed using a PC
2
terminal on which PL7 Micro/Junior/Pro software has been installed.
The terminal connected to the Micro/Premium PLC is used to perform diagnostics of

the operating state of the AS-i V1 TSX SAZ 10 and TSX SAY 100 master modules,
the bus and the slave devices on the bus.
For the AS-i V2 TSX SAY 1000 master module, the diagnostics are identical to those
of the AS-i V1 module, and in addition, take into account developments in the M2E
standard.
3 4
Diagnostics of the TSX SAY 100 module using PL7
Diagnostics are performed using a single screen divided into four sections providing
information on:
1 Status of the TSX SAZ 10 or TSX SAY 100/1000 module (RUN, ERR, I/O).
1 2 Status of the AS-i channel connected to the module.
3 Faulty interface (or slave).
2 4 Data relating to any selected interface (profile, parameters, forcing, etc).
In the event of an AS-i module or channel fault, a second screen can be accessed,
which clearly shows the type of fault, which may be at internal or external level.

Description
The TSX SUP A02 power supply module and the TSX SUP A05 power supply unit
integrate the special filters necessary for the AS-i bus power supply. These elements
provide polarisation of the AS-i bus and power the associated sensors (within the
limits of available power). These supplies conform to PLC standards (IEC 1131-1
c

The Modbus Plus network is a high-performance industrial local network which can
respond to Client/Server type extended architectures,combining a high data rate
(1 Mbps), simple and economical transmission support and several message handling
services.
The main data exchange functions between all devices connected to the network are:
b The message exchange function according to the Modbus protocol.
b The "global database" function (Shared Table service, periodic, controlled by the
application: a station with the token can send 32 words to a maximum of 63 other
stations connected on the network).
1 The Premium (or Micro) client communicates with the Quantum server on the
Modbus Plus network via function block (communication function).
2 The Quantum client communicates with the Premium server on the Modbus Plus
network via MSTR function blocks.
3 A Premium (or Micro) client connected to the Ethernet TCP/IP or Fipway network
can communicate in read/write mode with a Modbus Plus station (the Premium
PLC therefore acts as a gateway).
4 A Premium (or Micro) client connected to the Modbus Plus network can access a
remote station via the Modbus Plus/Modbus gateway.
5 A Premium client connected to the Modbus Plus network can make exchanges
with the Momentum distributed inputs/outputs via the Peer cop function.

The Modbus bus is used for Master/Slave architectures (it is necessary, however,
to check that the Modbus services used by the application are implemented on the
devices concerned).
The bus comprises one Master station and several Slave stations. Only the Master
station can initiate the exchange (direct communication between Slave stations is not
possible). Two exchange mechanisms are possible:
b Question/answer, where the requests from the Master are addressed to a given
Slave. The Master then waits for the response from the Slave which has been
interrogated.
b Broadcasting, the Master broadcasts a message to all the Slave stations on the
bus. These stations execute the order without transmitting a response.
Description
The Micro/Premium PLCs or Atrium coprocessors offer various Modbus bus

connection possibilities.
1 Built-in links to the Micro processor or to the TSX SCY p1601 Premium module
1 Via integrated port on the Micro processor.

The TER port (8-way mini DIN) has Modbus RTU Master/Slave (1) protocol.
2 Via integrated port on the TSX SCY 11601/21601 module for Premium PLCs.
This module has an isolated Half-duplex RS 485 serial link channel (25-way SUB-D
Micro
connector) with multiprotocol (including Modbus); (for the TSX SCY 11601
3
6 module, only the Modbus protocol is supported).

Uni-TE services
The Uni-TE protocol is the industrial message handling system supported by the
X-Way communication architecture. It operates on the question/answer or
request/confirmation principle. A device which supports the Uni-TE protocol can be a:
b Client: this device initiates communication. It asks a question (reads), transmits data
(writes) or sends an instruction (Run, Stop, etc.).
b Server: this device executes the service requested by the client and sends a
confirmation after execution.

X-Way and the OSI model Premium automation platform 5
(continued) X-way communication
The services provided depend on the type of device (PLC, numerical controller,
programming terminal, supervision station, etc.). Depending on its function, each
device can be Client and/or Server. A Client PLC can access other devices on the
architecture via its application program: It can read/write objects on another PLC or
numerical controller, select programs on a numerical controller, etc.
Network transparency
When connected to any station in the network or directly connected to the Fipway/
Ethernet TCP/IP network, a programming terminal can communicate with any other
station in the network (as if the terminal were physically connected to the PLC with
which it is dialoguing).
Network transparency also applies between stations connected to different
segments of the same multinetwork architecture.
COM service and Shared Table service (exclusive services one from another)
The COM service is made up of a set of dedicated words called common words.
Each Fipway/Ethway network station may or may not access the database (in read
only or read/write mode).
All PLC stations exchanging common words (32 stations on Fipway, 64 stations on
Ethway) are allocated, in a dedicated database (128-words for Fipway, 256 words for
Ethway), a write zone (set at 4 words for the Fipway network, and variable from 4 to
64 words for the Ethway network) per Micro/Premium station.
COM words are updated automatically during each scan of the general sequential
program (master task) without the intervention of the application program.
The Shared Table service can be used to exchange a table of internal words
divided into as many zones as there are Micro/Premium PLCs which comprise the
Fipway network. The exchange principle is based on the broadcasting, by each PLC,
of a word memory zone (broadcast zone) to the other PLCs on the network.
Each network station is allocated an exchange table comprising 128 internal words
for the 32 PLCs that share the service, with a broadcast zone assigned to each PLC,
variable from 1 to 32 internal words.
Application-to-application communication
This consists of using the user application program to send word tables between
2 devices, which may be Micro/Premium and TSX PLCs.
This service is particularly suitable for:
b Sending alarm messages from a PLC to a supervision station.
b Exchanging data tables between two PLCs controlled by the application programs
of the transmission and destination device.
b Sending broadcast messages to all stations and devices.
Telegram
The telegram service available on Fipway is a special case of application-to-
application messages. It enables short messages to be sent and received on a
priority basis (maximum 16 characters).
A telegram from a Micro/Premium PLC is sent immediately without waiting for the
end of the cycle. The telegram is received by the Micro/Premium PLC in:
b The event-triggered task (processed as soon as the message arrives in the
network card).
b The fast task or master task (when scanning the reception function).
A PLC can only process one telegram at a time.
Use in a multinetwork
The X-Way communication architecture is designed to cover multinetwork
applications capable of dealing with problems of:
b Concentration, the architecture is particularly suitable for feedback of supervision
data to a higher level.
b Redundancy, each PLC monitors the correct operation of both networks to which
it is connected. If one of the networks should fail, all traffic could be transferred to the
valid network.
b Inter-network communication. These architectures comprise several network
segments which are interconnected by "bridge PLC" stations. Transparent
communication is then offered between the entire architecture.

description Fipway network
Performances
The operating principle of a Fipway network gives ensured, constant network cycle
times whatever the traffic and number of stations (2 to 64). This enables the Fipway
network to be updated (addition or removal of stations) without changing
the performance.
Maximum transmission time
b Telegram (TLG): priority application messages are transmitted in less than 10 ms
(one telegram per station).
b Common words (COM): the database of common words is updated every 40 ms.
b Shared Table: the exchange table is updated every 40 ms.
b Uni-TE message handling system: Uni-TE or standard application-to-application
messages are normally transmitted in less than 80 ms (40 ms for stations with
addresses below 32). Where there is a large amount of traffic, some messages can
wait for several cycles before being transmitted. The network characteristics enable
a maximum of 210 messages of 128 bytes per second to be transmitted.
The performance can be improved by inhibiting the Telegram service in the network.
Event Report
With such network characteristics, the response time at application level depends
almost exclusively on the processing capacity of the devices which are connected.
Device 1 CT1 CT1 CT1 CT1 For example, the remote loading of a 50 K word program takes less than two minutes
on a network with normal load.
CT1 = Cycle time of device 1.
Fipway network NCT NCT
NCT = Cycle time of Fipway network.
CT2 = Cycle time of device 2.
Device 2 CT2 CT2 The response time must be evaluated by the designer of each application in relation
to the devices connected.

Application services
When using the bus manager function, the application services supported by the
Premium PLCs are:
b Remote l/O
Remote l/O modules are addressed by the PL7 application program as In rack l/O,
with which they can of course coexist. This service enables the exchange of l/O
status variables and output command variables. These exchanges are carried out in
a cyclical and deterministic manner and without intervention from the application
program.
The manager also manages remote devices (configuration) in an aperiodic manner,
without intervention from the application program.
b Uni-TE service
X-Way industrial message handling service suitable for MMI, diagnostics and control
functions (requests of 128 bytes maximum).
b Application-to-application service
This service consists of sending tables between 2 devices under the control of their
respective application programs (requests of 128 bytes maximum).
b Terminal transparency
Terminals connected on a higher level X-way network or on the manager PLC
terminal port communicate with the devices on the bus. This is also the case when
the terminal is connected at the priority address 63.

Micro (TSX 37-21/22) or Premium PLCs, fitted with a TSX FPP 10 PCMCIA card on
their integrated communication channel, are agents on the Fipio bus. The bus manager
is a TSX P 57 153/253/353/453, T PCX 57 203/353, TSX Series 7 model 40 or
April 5000 PLC.
The Fipio bus enables I/O to be remotely located close to the devices to be controlled
(Momentum, Altivar, etc). The Agent function enables offline processing, by locating
a Micro PLC close to the machine.
In addition to the standard Fipio services (see pages 5/63 to 5/63), Micro
(TSX 37-21/22) and Premium PLCs allow exchanges of input and output variables
with the bus manager PLC. These exchanges are performed cyclically, automatically
and without the involvement of the application program at the same rate as the task for

Fipio/Fipway optic transceiver
Presentation
The OZD FIP G3 optic transceivers are particularly adapted for use with applications
which are subject to harsh electrical environments or which are distributed over large
areas:
b Public buildings.
b Large-scale industrial sites.
b Water treatment and distribution.
b Transport and highway tunnel infrastructures, etc.
The OZD FIP G3 optic transceiver enables conversion of a FIP electric interface to
2 FIP optic interfaces and vice versa. As a result, it allows redundant ring topologies
to exist; these improve installation availability even when a line is broken at a point
in the medium.
In these situations, the length of the bus or the Fipio/Fipway ring can reach 20 Km,
with a maximum of 32 Fipio or 20 Fipway transceivers. See characteristics on
page 5/77. These characteristics may be increased using mixed topologies such
as 2 serial optic rings or 2 serial optic buses; please consult our regional office.

Performance
Fipio bus operating mode and performance on fiber optics

After configuration in Fipio mode, the processor scans the various application
devices according to the software configuration:
b Image variables of the input values and of the output command values of a
configured device are scanned as quickly as possible on the bus, whilst respecting
the existing relationships between periods of different tasks which use these
devices.
b Appearance or disappearance of a configured device is detected on the bus within
a maximum time of 200 ms.
b Exchanges occur at the rate defined by the programmer, from 10 to 20 Uni-TE
messages per second.
The network cycle time is double that of the electrical bus when OZD FIP G3
transceivers are used.
Fipway bus operating mode and performance on fiber optics
The operating principle is identical to that on an electrical network, in that the number
of stations is limited to 32 and the transmission time is as follows:
b For the Common words and Shared Table services, updating of the entire
database is carried out every 40 ms maximum.
b For Uni-TE message handling, the network characteristics are used to transmit a
maximum of 230 messages of 128 bytes per second.

Presentation
The Uni-Telway bus is a standard means of communication between control system

components (PLCs, MMI terminals, supervisors, variable speed drives, numerical
controllers, weighing equipment, etc.).
It is suitable for architectures designed to manage control and monitoring devices via
Premium a PLC, or architectures used for MMI (supervision, etc.).
The Uni-Telway bus requires a master station which manages the allocation of bus
access rights to the various connected stations (known as slave stations).

b The processing times of the message source and destination devices.

Device 2 CT2 CT2 b The degree of asynchronism between the bus and processor cycle times.
Action This response time must be evaluated by the designer of each application according
to the devices which are connected.
BCT = Uni-Telway bus cycle time
The processing time of a device may vary from one to two cycle times depending on the
CT1 = Device 1 bus cycle time
degrees of asynchronism.
CT2 = Device 2 bus cycle time

description CANopen bus
Presentation
Originally used in the automotive industry, CAN is increasingly used in general

industry. Several fieldbuses based on CAN lower layers and components are
available. The CANopen bus conforms to the ISO 11898 international standard,
promoted by the CAN In Automation association, which consists of users and
manufacturers and offers an excellent assurance of open access and interoperability
due to its standardised devices and communication profiles.
The CANopen bus is a multimaster bus which ensures reliable deterministic access
to realtime data in control system devices. The CSMA/CA protocol is based on
broadcast exchanges, sent cyclically or on an event, which ensures optimum use of
the passband. A message handling channel can also be used to define slave
parameters.
The bus uses a double shielded twisted pair, on which 127 devices maximum are
connected by simple tap junctions. The variable data rate between 10 Kbps and
1 Mbps depends on the length of the bus (between 30 and 5000 m).
Description
Hardware description
4
The TSX P57 pp 3M and T PCX 57 pp3M Premium platforms connect to the
2 CANopen bus by means of the TSX CPP 100 type III PCMCIA card inserted in the
processor or coprocessor communication port slot.
1 This card is supplied with a connection cable for the TSX CPP ACC 1 tap junction. This
3
can be used to connect physically 2 CANopen buses, which are seen by the
application as a single logic interface. In practice, this feature enables the useful length
of the bus to be doubled.
The TSX CPP 100 card comprises:
2 A removable cover (enabling mounting on a Premium processor or coprocessor).
3 A connection cable length 0.6 m.
4 2 diagnostic indicator lights.
Connections to be ordered separately:

TSX CPP ACC1 tap junction equipped with one 15-way SUB-D connector for
connecting the TSX CPP 100 card cable and two 9-way SUB-D connectors for
connecting the 2 CANopen buses. This tap unit has 2 bus activity indicator lights on the
front panel.
Software description
The CANopen bus is configured using dedicated software, which should be ordered
separately, reference TLX L FBC 10M. This software is used to describe the
configuration to be imported into the PLC application via the PL7
Junior/Pro programming software.
If the configuration file is too large in relation to the Premium processor capacity (see
characteristics table), it is possible to load the Master configuration directly by
inserting the TSX CPP 100 card in a PCMCIA port on the PC compatible.
In PL7, it is possible to configure the CANopen bus card so that the PLC
processor/TSX CPP 100 card exchanges are executed at the same rate as the
Master task or the fast task. The process data exchanged with the Slaves can be
accessed by %MW standard words, the number of which depends on the type of
processor and the task in which the module has been declared. PL7 standard
function blocks are used to define the device parameters.
Nota : In addition to supporting the CANopen protocol which uses V2.0A standard CAN
identifiers on 11 bits, the card enables direct access to the CAN link layer via CAN V2.0B
identifiers on 29 bits, used by the majority of CAN devices. In certain applications this enables
simultaneous control of CANopen devices and dedicated CAN products.

The topology of the INTERBUS bus is designed as a ring system with master/slave
central access procedure.
It is subdivided into three parts:
b The remote bus 1 (bus devices use RS 485 point-to-point connection).
b The installation remote bus 2 (remote bus tap link via a bus terminal module). Its
technology is particularly suitable for IP 65 dust and damp proof systems.
b The local bus with TTL technology is particularly suitable for buses within a control
cabinet.
Each bus subscriber comprises a transmitter and a receiver.

The INTERBUS system is like a data ring and has the structure of a shift register
distributed on the bus. With its registers, each module constitutes a component of
this shift register ring. The INTERBUS master circulates the data in series on this
ring.

Software configuration
The INTERBUS bus can be configured in 3 modes:
b Auto mode: This mode does not require the use of any special configuration
software (I/O images are copied to %IW, %QW implicitly). It facilitates the wiring
check.
b Mode PL7 V IBY mode: This mode is used to define and load the configuration to
the module (explicit assignment of %IW, %QW). The CMD Tool software (1) is
required in order to generate the configuration text file.
b CMD V IBY mode: Reserved for configurations > 8 K words, and requires the use
of the CMD Tool software.
PMS message handling (usable on PCP devices) is managed via standard OFs
(Read-var, Write-var, etc).
The catalogue file which enables Schneider Electric devices to be integrated in the
CMD Tool software is available on our Web site:

communication requirements.

With PL7 and DP software Third part Third part Momentum

ATV
The Profibus DP is a linear bus with a centralised access procedure of the Master/
Slave type. Only Master stations, also known as active stations, have access rights to
the bus. The Slave or passive stations can only respond to prompts. Dialogue
between Masters is also possible from some stations by means of a token bus
protocol. The physical connection is a single shielded twisted pair, but fibre optic
interfaces are available to create tree, star, or ring structures. Compared to the ISO
model, only layers 1, 2 are implemented, since access from the user interface is made
directly to the link layer via simple mapping of variables.
Configuration
The Profibus DP bus should be configured by special software, reference

TLX L FBC M, which should be ordered separately.
The DP software can be used to generate an ASCII configuration file which should
be imported into the PLC application via PL7 Junior/Pro development software.
Description
Premium PLCs (TSX/PCX 57) are connected to the Profibus DP bus by a
TSX PBY 100 module. This module can be installed in any slot in the Premium PLC
rack.
It comprises:
1 Host module for the PCMCIA card.
2 Profibus DP PCMCIA card with its integral connecting cable, 0.6 m long.
3 T-junction box enabling the tap link of the main bus 490 NAE 911 00.
