Regulations
Concerning the Setting up of Installations
Apart from the basic Regulations for the Setting up of
Power Installations DIN VDE* 0100 and for The Rating of
Creepage Distances and Clearances DIN VDE 0110 Part 1
and Part 2 the regulations The Equipment of Power In-
stallations with Electrical Components DIN VDE 0160 in
conjunction with DIN VDE 0660 Part 500 have to be taken
into due consideration.
Further attention has to be paid to DIN VDE 0113 Part 1
and Part 200 in case of the control of working and pro-
cessing machines. If operating elements are to be mounted
near parts with dangerous contact voltage DIN VDE 0106
Part 100 is additionally relevant.
If the protection against direct contact according to DIN
VDE 0160 is required, this has to be ensured by the user
(e.g. by incorporating the elements in a switch-gear cabi-
net). The devices are designed for pollution severity 2 in
accordance with DIN VDE 0110 Part 1. If higher pollution
is expected, the devices must be installed in appropriate
housings.
The user has to guarantee that the devices and the com-
ponents belonging to them are mounted following these
regulations. For operating the machines and installations,
other national and international relevant regulations, con-
cerning prevention of accidents and using technical work-
ing means, also have to be met.
The Advant® Controller devices are designed according to
IEC 1131 Part 2. Meeting this regulation, they are classi-
fied in overvoltage category II which is in conformance with
DIN VDE 0110 Part 2.
For the direct connection of Advant® Controller devices,
which are powered with or coupled to AC line voltages of
overvoltage category III, appropriate protection measures
corresponding to overvoltage category II according to IEC-
Report 664/1980 and DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 are to install.
Equivalent standards:
DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 Û IEC 664

1 Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to automation with Advant Controller 31 (AC31), from the
overall architecture to the operational rules of the 40 and 50 series basic units.
1.1 General information on the AC31 system

The AC31 system comprises the 40, 50 and 90 series. This operating guide describes the 40
and 50 series. The AC31 system description (order number 1SAC 1316 99 R0201) contains
the documentation for the 90 series.
Due to high modularity, AC31 offers both beginners and experienced users access to automa-
tion applications with 14 to 1000 inputs and outputs.
From a compact machine with only a few automated functions to large installations spread
over hundreds of metres or even kilometres, AC31 can be adapted to meet your requirements.
It is therefore possible to implement distributed applications throughout a site, workshop or
machine where all the components (input/output units, basic unit) are close to the sen-
sors/actuators. The whole installation is connected by a single twisted pair via which all infor-
mation from the sensors is sent after processing by the basic unit to the actuators via the de-
centralized intelligent units. The following communication interfaces are available to extend the
AC31’s possibilities and to ensure integration with other automation systems: MODBUS,
ASCII, ARCNET, RCOM, AF100. Developments in this field are ongoing.
Many users throughout the world have implemented numerous applications such as:
Õ Machine control:
Manufacture of parquet flooring
Assembly of electrical contactors
Manufacture of ceramic products
Metal pipe welding, etc.
Õ Controlling-commanding installations:
Wharf cranes
Water treatment plants
Ski lifts
Wind power systems, etc.
Õ Systems management:
Energy management
Climatic management
Tunnel ventilation
Alarm systems in hospital environments
Greenhouse lighting and ventilation control, etc.

1.2 General setup rules
An AC31 system always includes an AC31 basic unit. There are three types of basic units:
- The 40 series basic units with a local inputs/outputs extensions interface.
- The 50 series basic units with a local inputs/outputs extensions interface and a CS31 bus in-
terface for remote extensions.
- The 90 series basic units, with a CS31 bus interface for remote extensions.
Each basic unit incorporates a specific number of digital inputs/outputs and some of the units
in the 90 series also feature analog inputs/outputs.
Depending on the basic unit, it is possible to increase the number of inputs/outputs and add
input/output extensions.
1.2.1 Basic units with central extensions option

With the 40 and 50 series, it is possible to increase the number of inputs/outputs of the basic
unit by adding up to 6 local extension units of either type, digital or analog (see Figure 1).
Connection is done via integrated flat cables.
A maximum of 6 digital or analog central extensions

1.2.2 Basic units with remote extensions option
With the 50 and 90 series, it is possible to increase the number of inputs/outputs of the basic
basic unit by adding remote units. The basic unit controlling the system is called the MASTER
basic unit. The maximum bus length is 500 m without an amplifier and 2000 m with 3 amplifi-
ers (1 NCB or NCBR unit enables bus amplification for 500 m).

Figure 2: Basic unit with extension units on the local interface for input/output units and on the CS31 system bus
The master basic unit can manage up to 31 connection points, so-called SLAVES, such as:
- 50 series remote units with central extension capabilities: a maximum of 6 extension units
comprising a maximum of 8 analog input channels and 8 analog output channels
- 30 and 90 series remote units (without central extension capacities) with analog/digital in-
puts/outputs
- High-speed counter units
- ABB frequency converter
- Air pressure actuators
- 50 series basic units
- 90 series basic units as slaves with their own user programs
- or any other devices which support CS31 communication (see Figure 2).
Comment:
A slave fitted solely with digital channels occupies 1 connection point.
A slave fitted with digital and analog channels occupies 2 connection points of the available
31.
The maximum number of remote analog units depends on the MASTER basic unit:
- 50 series: - a maximum of 31 remote analog input units

or - a maximum of 31 remote analog output units
or - a maximum of 15 slaves (ICMK14F1) with analog input/output extensions
+ 1 remote analog input/output unit (15 x 2 + 1 = 31)
or - a mixed digital/analog configuration within the previous limits
- 90 series: - a maximum of 12 remote analog input units
or - a maximum of 12 remote analog output units
or - a maximum of 12 slaves with analog extensions
or - a mixed digital/analog configuration within the permissible limits

1.3 Operation of the 40 and 50 series basic units
1.3.1 Functional diagram

The memory of the 40 and 50 series is composed of two distinct areas:
- A RAM memory where the user program and data is loaded
- A Flash EPROM memory which contains:
- a backup of the user program with the program constants,
- the configuration data
- and the system program, which is protected against access by the user program.
A built-in battery (only in 50 series) also enables the backup of internal variables.
The system program comprises a set of universal functions designed to cover all applications
and ensure all the basic PLC functions. The user program is developed with the
907 PC331 R402 programming and test software. After being translated into instructions which
can be understood by the basic unit, the program is loaded in RUN or STOP mode into the
RAM and then saved to the Flash EPROM. This means that each time the program is loaded,
the user program saved in the Flash EPROM is copied to the RAM for processing by the mi-
croprocessor (Figure 3).
The structure of the system program memory, the user program, the inputs/outputs and inter-
nal variables are described in the appendix.

1.3.2 Program execution
The basic unit microprocessor ensures the cyclic execution of the user program as shown in
Figure 4.
The internal processing:

- PLC monitoring and control
- operating and test functions
is executed in parallel with the previously described cycle.
The execution duration of a cycle (bus cycle + program cycle) is controlled by the basic unit.
Any excess of the cycle time defined by the user is signaled by the ERR LED at the front of the
basic unit.

1.3.3 Bus transmission
The master basic unit manages the transmission of messages to the various slaves via the
RS485 connection.
The messages are transmitted in the following format:
- Request from the master basic unit:
address data CRC8
- Request from the remote units:
start data CRC8
The messages always end with an end of frame control character: checksum CRC8.
The length of the exchanged frames depends on the type of unit. Frames exchanged with
analog units are the longest.
The basic unit interrogates the remote units to establish an initial image of the system configu-
ration during initialization.
The remote units are then interrogated with each bus cycle. This enables the recognition of
newly added or removed remote units and the update of the diagnosis information.
If the basic unit receives a message indicating a CRC8 error, it will not be signaled immedi-
ately and the frame will not be taken into account. After nine consecutive transmission errors,
a "bus error" is signaled by the basic unit. The bus error is also signaled to the remote units
after a 250 ms time-out.

1.3.4 Refresh times/response times
Bus refresh times and basic unit response times depend on the system configuration, the
number and type of the remote units on the CS31 bus.
Bus refresh times

The bus refresh times correspond to the transmission time over the bus. The calculation corre-
sponds to the addition of all the communication times of the remote units on the bus and the
base time of the master basic unit.
Basic unit response times

The basic unit response time corresponds to the time taken to activate an output after the acti-
vation of an input.
The maximum response time is obtained by adding the delay time for the output, the bus re-
fresh time and twice the cycle time.
The delay time for the input on the 40 and 50 series is 5 ms.
The response time for a transistor output is considered as 0 ms, the response time for a relay
output is 6 ms.
The cycle time defines the time intervals after which the processor starts the execution of the
user program again.
The cycle time has to be specified by the user. It must be greater than the program processing
time of the user program, the data transmission times and the related waiting times.
The cycle time is also the time base for some time-driven functions such as the PI regulator.
Comment:
The calculation of the cycle time and the communication times between the basic unit and the
input/output units for calculating the bus transmission times is found in chapter 5.4 in the table
"Bus reaction times“.
1.3.5 Power on/program start

The basic unit executes a complete series of auto tests at each startup. The program can only
be started if no errors have been detected.
The auto tests verify the following:
- the program syntax,
- the data transmission,
- the status of the extensions,
- the status of the remote units, if the basic unit is configured as master.
- the startup conditions (internal memories are reset or not – depending on the configuration
by the user).
The basic unit initialization depends on the startup type: see chapter 5.3
The bus system is also initialized after startup if the basic unit is the master on the CS31 sys-
tem bus.
1.3.6 Power cuts or drops (battery)

The 50 series basic unit features built-in battery backup in order to save the necessary infor-
mation for the next startup in the event of a power drop or cut.
The backup battery is a standard Vanadium-Lithium cell which the user can change himself.
Battery backup is effective up to 20 days at 25 °C. During this period data (e. g. flags) can be
saved although power to the device is down.
The cell is fully charged after 12 hours of continuous device operation. Its lifetme may vary
from 6 to 15 years, depending on how often and for how long power supply to the device is off.
Caution:
Observe the following operational guidelines:

3
• Never short-circuit the battery! There is danger of overheating and explosion. Avoid acci-
dental short-circuits, therefore do not store batteries in metallic containers or boxes and do
not bring them into contact with metallic surfaces.
• Replace the battery only whith the supply voltage on! Otherwise you risk data being
lost.
• Dispose of battery environmentally consciously!
Prior configuration of the basic unit is required to save all or part of the data (see chapter 5). If
the configuration is absent, all functions and internal data will be reset to 0 after a power drop
or cut.
A power cut or drop occurring on a 40 series basic unit will result in all the functions and inter-
nal data being reset to 0.

3.7.4 Connectors (see Figure 13)

There are two other types of connectors available in addition to the removable connectors
supplied. They enable a simplified installation, where applicable.
1 – External dual connector: 07 ST 50

This connector is used to connect sensors or three wire digital actuators to the 40 and 50
series products.
All the terminal blocks of the same level are electrically connected.
2 – External dual connector: 07 ST 51

This connector permits the easy connection of analog sensors to the 40 and 50 series
products.
It includes a first level with 9 interlinked terminals. It may be used to connect the shielding of
the analog cables.
The second level (5 terminals) is used when the 4-wire probes are used. This connector
prevents a short circuit on a channel from disturbing the operation of the other channels.
An example of the cabling of a 4-wire probe to an XM 06 B5 analog unit using a dual connector
can be found in chapter 4.

4 Installation
This chapter contains detailed information on the cabling of the individual products and the
main implementation and addressing rules.
4.1 Implementation of an AC31 system

The AC31 product range has been developed for operation in extreme industrial environments.
The correct operation of these products can only be ensured if certain rules are observed.
These rules relate to the assembly conditions, the input/output cabling, earthing, the
connection of the CS31 system bus and the different types of power supply.
4.1.1 Assembly conditions

The products in the AC31 range can be mounted in two different ways. They may be installed
either vertically or horizontally (vertical assembly is only possible with certain restrictions, e.g.
reduction of the load, see also page 3–1):
- either on a DIN rail 35 mm
- or by means of two screws M4 directly onto the cabinet mounting plate.
Assembly in a cabinet:
Operating temperature from 0 to 55 °C. Make sure that there is sufficient free space around
the cabinet to allow the heat to dissipate properly. We recommend that the cabinet be fitted
with a ventilation system where necessary.
Warning: Avoid placing any devices which generate heat directly next to these products (e.g.
transformers, mains supply, power contactors ...).
All electrical connections are made via removable terminal blocks with a maximum wire cross
2
section up to 2.5 mm .
The reference value for the torque is 0.8 Nm.
4.1.2 Input/output cabling

Certain precautions should be taken to reduce installation disturbances. The cables carrying
low voltage signals should not be placed in the same cable duct as the power cables.
You must distinguish between two types of signals:

- 230 V a.c. power supply
- analog signals (use shielded cables) and low voltage (24 V d.c.).

4.1.4 Earthing
• Basic earthing principles

The earth and mains wires should be connected in star.
All AC 31 components of a cabinet should be connected to the same earth.
If the remote units are located outside the cabinet, they should be connected to the nearest
earth.
The 40 and 50 series basic units are fitted with an earth plate on the DIN rail mounting system.
If the basic unit is screwed directly to a metal plate, the screw located at the top left of the
basic unit (as seen from the front) ensures an electrical connection to the earth via this earth
plate.
This earthing ensures protection against electromagnetic disturbances.
The safety earthing cable (on terminal block) should be connected to the cabinet chassis (PE-
terminal).
• Earthing principles for several cabinets

If the cabinets are close to each other, the different earths should possibly be connected
together using a cable with a cross section of at least 16 mm² (see Figure 6, page 4–3).
The noise generating devices (actuators, motors, etc.) should not be earthed in between two
cabinets. The earthing should be done near to the element causing the most disturbance (see
Figure 6, page 4–3).
We recommend you connect the bus shielding directly to the earth, as shown in the assembly
diagram (see Figure 5, page 4–3.)

4.1.5 The CS31 system bus
The CS31 system bus is an RS 485 serial bus and consists of a shielded twisted 2-wire cable.
This bus is a master slave bus and only supports a single master.
Use an AWG 24 (≥ 0.22 mm²) twisted pair with joint shielding. 0.5 mm = ∅ 0.8 mm is
2
recommended.
The maximum length is 500 m.
The same cable type should be used for the whole system bus set-up.
Bus interruptions should be avoided, e.g. for cabinet cable connections for instance, otherwise
connection should be made to the same side of the terminal block (see Figures 7 and 8 on
page 4–5).
Warning: STAR configuration of the bus is not permitted!

(see Figures 9 and 10 on page 4–5).
• Cabling
The basic and remote units may be connected at any point of the bus:
- bus 1 to bus 1
- bus 2 to bus 2
- shielding (preferably braided) on terminal 3 of terminal block 1 and earth connected
at the master level (cable < 0.10 m)
The bus should be terminated with a 120 Ω 1/4 W resistor connected to the bus ends. The
twisted pair should be symmetrical (see Figures 11a and 11b on page 4–5).
As the CS31 system bus is isolated, it is possible to connect elements with different voltage
power to the bus.
Using bus amplifiers, the max. bus length may be extended to 2000 m. You can find the
relevant information in the AC31 System Description (Ordering Number 1SAC 1316 99 R0201)
under the AC31 bus amplifiers NCB and NCBR.

4.2 Basic unit and remote unit cabling
• Power supply
The connection of an external thermal fuse is necessary to ensure protection of the devices.
An internal 24 V d.c. power supply is available on 120/ 230 V a.c. versions. This power supply
feeds the digital inputs of the unit and its extensions. The maximum current is 400 mA. This
internal power supply is protected against short circuits and overloads. In such cases it is
available again 10 seconds after elimination of the fault.
It is also possible to use an external 24 V d.c. power supply. In this case, do not forget to
connect the earth of the external 24 V d.c. power supply to terminal C.
• Inputs/outputs cabling
Use rigid or multi-conductor AWG 18 (0.96 mm²) to AWG 14 (1.95 mm²) wires for inputs, and
rigid or multi-conductor AWG 14 (1.95 mm²) wires for the outputs.
- Input cabling: see Figures 12, 13, 14 and 15.
- Output cabling: see Figures 16 and 17.
• Output protection
The relay outputs must be protected externally against disturbances generated by an

inductive load by using the following:
- a varistor or an RC module, with alternating current loads
- a free-wheeling diode with DC loads
The presence of an external thermal fuse, connected to the common power supply of the
outputs, protects the devices connected to the outputs.
The transistor outputs are protected internally against short circuits and overloads. However,
with an inductive load, where L/R is greater than 40 ms, it is necessary to add a free-wheeling
diode.
If an error occurs at one of the transistor outputs, it is reported by the basic unit.
The presence of an external thermal fuse, connected to the common power supply of the
outputs, protects the devices connected at the outputs and also prevents unit damage in the
event of overload at several outputs.

4.3 Cabling digital central extensions
• Extension XI 16 E1 (see Figure 18 on page 4–12)

The extension is powered with 5 V by the basic unit or the remote unit. The connection
between the extension and the basic unit is made with the cable situated on the left of the
extension.
The 24 V d.c. power supply used for the sensors should be linked to the 0 V and 24 V
terminals situated on the top or bottom terminal blocks. These terminals are linked internally,
therefore it is only necessary to link one 0 V and one 24 V d.c. terminal, irrespective of whether
the inputs are situated at the top or the bottom.
Warning: The extensions must not be connected or disconnected under power supply.
• Extension XO 08 R1 (see Figure 19)

extension.
The connection terminals C are independent.
• Extension XC 08 L1 (see Figure 20)

extension.
The 24 V d.c. for the sensors must be connected with the 0 V and 24 V d.c. of the external
power supply. An external 24 V d.c. power supply has to be used if the total current exceeds
the capacity of the 24 V d.c. power supply of the basic unit.
• Extension XO 16 N1 (see Figure 21)

extension.
The 24 V d.c. power supply used for the loads should be connected to the 0 V or 24 V d.c.
terminals situated on the top or bottom terminal blocks. These terminals are linked internally,
therefore it is only necessary to link one 0 V and one 24 V d.c. terminal.
• Extension XK 08 F1 (see Figure 22)

extension.
The common C of inputs has to be linked to the 0 V or 24 V d.c., depending on the sensor
type.

4.5 Addressing
4.5.1 Input/output variables
Addressing the CS31 bus enables the user to program the utilization of the inputs/outputs in a
manner that is completely transparent to the user.
The inputs/outputs of a AC31 remote unit are defined by:
Õ - their type (input or output, digital or analog),
Õ - the unit address,
Õ - the channel number on the unit.
They are recognized in the following manner by the program: Exx, yy
E xx yy
E : binary input Address (xx) Channel number (yy)

A: binary output
EW: analog input
AW: analog output
4.5.2 Addressing basic unit masters or stand-alone basic units with central extensions
Utilization of the stand-alone, master or slave mode of the basic unit is defined via the
constant KW 00,00 with the programming software 907 PC 331 (as of 50 series ).
A maximum of 6 digital or analog extensions may be connected to a basic unit in any order.
40 series
Maximum of 6 extensions
50 series

• Master or stand-alone basic unit
Õ The address 62 is automatically assigned to the inputs/outputs of a basic unit.
Õ Their addresses are assigned automatically according to the order of the extensions:
- The first digital inputs extension is assigned the address 63, and the subsequent
extensions are incremented by 1, up to 68.

- An extension with mixed and configurable inputs/outputs is considered by the

addressing as an input extension and an output extension => The address of the
following digital extensions, whether it is input or output, is incremented by 1.

4.5.3 Addressing slave basic units or remote extension units on the CS31 system bus
Figure 26: Rotary switch for addressing the remote extension unit ICMK 14xx
The CS31 system bus protocol is a master/slave protocol: the master sends requests to the
slaves which are indicated by an address between 0 and 61.
The master basic unit can manage up to 31 remote units (CS31 system bus addresses).
A remote unit may be:
Õ - a non-extensible remote unit
Õ - an extensible remote unit with digital extensions
Õ - an ABB variable speed drive via NCSA-01
Õ - a high-speed counter
Õ - a basic unit (50 series with extension capabilities, 90 or 30 series)
Warning: An extensible remote unit ICMK 14xx with analog extensions occupies two
addresses.
The master basic unit and the remote units may be positioned in any order on the bus. The
order of the extensions on the basic units and extensible units is free.
Addressing does not correspond to the order of the units on the bus. The addresses from 1 to
61 may be assigned in any order to the remote units: the first remote unit on the CS31 system
bus may be assigned address 5, followed by a remote unit with address 3, followed by a
remote unit with the address 12 and so on.
Õ Addressing centrally extensible remote units with CS31 system bus connection
The slave number of the extensible remote units is given by the rotary switch located beneath
the first cover on the front. The settings on each switch may be from 0 to 9. Switch 1 indicates
tens and switch 3 is for units (see Figure 26). Values greater than 61 are not allowed. 0 ≤ X ≤
61.
Restrictions for analog extensions:
- A maximum of 2 XM 06 B5 extension units + 4 digital extension units may be used.

Addressing rule:
- The first digital input extension is assigned the address X+1. The following extension
is incremented by 1 and so on until 61.

None of the addresses defined by the configuration may be used by another remote unit of the
30 or 90 series. In the following example, an output unit of the 30 or 90 series cannot be
assigned the address X+1 or X+2 . The address must be greater than X+5.

When an analog extension unit is present amongst the extensions, the unit is assigned the
same address value as that of the extensible remote unit to which it is connected.
Address values = ( 0 ≤ X ≤ 61 )
If an analog XM 06 B5 type extension unit is used, it is possible to connect a maximum of two
units to the extensible remote unit, because the number of inputs and outputs of this unit is
less than eight.

• Addressing slave basic units

Information exchanges between a master basic unit and a slave basic unit is not restricted to
the exchange of physical input/output variables. It is possible to exchange a data table whose
size may be defined in bits or words, as follows:
- bit exchange in 8 bit packets (1 byte) = from 2 bytes to 15 bytes.
Address = ( 0 ≤ Y ≤ 61 )
- word exchange from 1 to 8 words. Address = ( 0 ≤ Y ≤ 61 )
(see chapter 6.1.3 Programming).
Õ The addressing of the slave basic unit is done via the constant KW 00.00 with the
programming software 907 PC 331.
The addressing of the basic unit extensions is independent of the CS31 addressing. It is
defined and managed by the slave basic unit.

5 Programming
5.1 Introduction to the software

The 907 PC 331 programming software is used for all the AC31 basic units.
®
This software runs under DOS and also in DOS boxes of Windows (3.1, 95 or NT). In
Windows 95 and NT there are slight restrictions, e.g. printing via network does not work
correctly.
The software allows you to create, send, test and print user programs as well as initialize, start
and stop the basic unit.
There are three programming languages:

- LD: is a graphical language based on the symbols of contact diagrams. It was adapted for
combinational processing and offers the basic symbols and automation function blocks
such as contacts, timers, counters.
- FBD: is a graphical language of function blocks which allows complex procedure
programming by combining existing library functions.
- IL: is an instruction list program which is intended primarily for programmers who already
have considerable experience of automation.
Organization of projects:
A project may be:
Õ Non-modular: the project comprises one single and unique main program
Õ Modular: the project comprises several programs
The programs of a modular project may be written in different languages.
Password:
With the help of a password, read and write program access can be locked for the 40 and 50
series basic units.
Advant Controller AC 31 / Issued: 01.99 5–1 Programming

• An existing library with over 150 functions:
The list of functions available depends on the basic unit selected. After the basic unit was
defined, the list is identical for all program editors.
The 40 and 50 series have 70 functions, which are divided into the following categories:
- Digital functions
- Timer functions
- Counter functions
- Functions for word comparison
- Arithmetic functions for word processing
- Logical functions for word processing
- Program control functions
- CS31 system bus configuration and acknowledgement functions
- Communications functions
- Control functions
- Format conversion functions
- Special functions
- Memory access functions
Detailed descriptions of all the functions can be found in the documentation of the 907 PC 331
programming software.
3 Programming 5–2 Advant Controller AC 31 / Issued: 01.99

5.2 List of variables
5 different types of variables are used in the user program:
Õ Physical, digital or analog input/output variables
Õ Internal bit, word or double word flags are used for intermediate calculations in the user
program.
Õ Indirect bit, word or double word constants.
Õ Step chains, which enable the simple and safe programming of sequential operations.
Õ Historical values: certain functions require several program cycles for their execution. So,
for example, during the processing of a time function, the variable TIME is updated in each
cycle, i.e. this variable is an example of an historical value.
Direct access to historical values via the user program is not possible with the 40 and 50
series units.
Comments on historical values:
The maximum number of historical values permissible for a project is 256.
A list of functions with their historical values can be found in the appendix A2.
The historical values of the timer functions are independent of the list of historical values of the
other functions. The number of authorized timer functions is unlimited, however, the number of
timer functions taking place simultaneously is restricted to 42.
Ranges of values
- Bit variables (status 0 or 1)
- Word variables (range of values -32768 to 32767)
- Double word variables (range of values -2147483648 to 2147483647)
- Text (ASCII characters)

5.3 Initialization of the basic units
When a new program is transmitted to the PLC, the old program is automatically deleted. It is,
however, advisable to reconfigure the basic unit with the factory parameters before sending a
completely new program:
Õ Stand-alone basic unit
Õ The default system configuration of the basic unit (see next chapter)
Õ No program
A complete initialization of the basic unit with the factory parameters is obtained by selecting
the following in the main menu of the 907 PC 331 programming software:
Õ ”PLC Communic. 2”
and there
Õ ”2 Delete EPROM”
followed immediately by
Õ ”4 cold restart”
The other possible initializations are:
Initialization type Definition

Power on - Clear the program in RAM
Enable PLC mode or "warm start" - Copy the Flash EPROM contents to RAM
- Clear the data in the RAM depending on the
configuration
Basic unit STOP/RUN button - Copy the Flash EPROM contents to RAM
If there is no program in the Flash EPROM,
the RAM remains unchanged.
- Clear the data in the RAM depending on the
configuration
Software ”Cold restart” - Clear the program and the data in the RAM
- Copy the Flash EPROM contents to RAM

5.4 Configuration
Before sending the program to the PLC you should make sure that the basic unit has been
configured correctly for the application. There are three configuration tools:
- The PLC system constants for configuration of the basic unit’s operating parameters;
- The CS31CO function block for configuring certain remote units via programming
- The MAIL command (in the “Terminal Mode”) can be used to configure the remote
modules with the programming device.

5.4.1.2 System constants/setting the operating modes

• Definition of terms
Cold start
Õ All the RAM memories are tested and cleared.
Õ If there is no user program in the EEPROM, the default values are set to all of the system
constants (identical to the factory settings).
Õ The operating modes given by the system constants are set.
Õ The CS31 system bus is initialized again (only when used as a master on the CS31 system
bus).
Performing a cold start
Õ Command KALT <CR> in terminal mode (see documentation for the 907 PC 331
programming software) or
Õ Menu item ”Cold start” in the programming system
Warm start
Õ All the RAM memories (excepted the program memory and operands memory (flags)) are
tested and deleted.
Õ If there is a user program in the EEPROM, this program is loaded into the RAM including
the system constants.
Õ The operating modes given by the system constants are set.
Õ The CS31 system bus is initialized again (only when used as a master on the CS31 system
bus).

3
Performing a warm start
Õ Power OFF/ON or
Õ Command WARM <CR> in terminal mode (see documentation for the 907 PC 331
programming software) or
Õ Menu item ”Enable PCL mode” in the programming system
• Operating mode: master basic unit, slave basic unit or stand-alone-basic unit
Important:
The 40 series basic units can only be operated in stand-alone mode. They have no access to
the CS31 system bus.
Õ Absolute identifier: KW 00,00
Õ Symbolic identifier: MAST_SLV
Õ Meaning of the values of the constants:
- Master basic unit at the CS31 system bus:-1 (FFFFH)
- Stand-alone basic unit: -2 (FFFEH)
- Slave basic unit at the CS31 system bus:
AC31 module addresses: 0...61, 100
Õ Range of values: -2, -1, 0...61,100
Õ Default value: -2 (stand-alone)
Important!
Changing the basic unit operating mode involves three steps:
1. Change system constant KW 00,00 in the basic unit
2. Save the PLC program in the EEPROM
3. Activate the new operating mode of the basic unit using the following steps:
- Call the menu item ”Enable PLC mode” in the ABB programming and test system or
- Perform a warm start or
- Perform a cold start.
• Backup of data areas
Back-up of data, i.e. saving data during power OFF/ON, is only possible in the 50 series basic
units. At an ambient temperature of 25 °C data can be stored for 40 days, when the power
supply is switched on, the accumulator recharges completely within 12 hours. The following
data can be backed up, completely or partially:
Õ Digital flags
Õ Word flags
Õ Double word flags
Õ Step chains
Õ Historical values
If certain data have to be backed up, they will be excluded from initialization to 0.
• Initialization of data areas
Initialization to 0 takes place on program start-up, with the (sub) areas to be initialized being
defined by system constants. Initialization functions as shown in the following table.

• PLC reactions to class 3 errors
The AC31 basic units feature a diagnostic system designed to localize errors quickly and
efficiently:
- Class 1: Fatal errors
- Class 2: Serious errors
- Class 3: Light errors
- Class 4: Warning
If class 1 or 2 errors occur, the program is aborted or not started. If a class 4 error occurs, the
program is not interrupted.
If a class 3 error occurs, the program may be aborted or continued:

Basic unit cycle time; KD 00,00
The basic unit program is processed cyclically in the time intervals stated by the set cycle time.
The value is given in milliseconds.
- The cycle time for a master basic unit is between 0 and 100 ms, only multiples of 5 are
allowed.
- The cycle time for a slave or stand-alone basic unit is between 0 and 250 ms.
If the value 0 is selected, the cycle time is the minimum time required by the basic unit for
each cycle. In this case, the cycle time is not constant.
Calculating the cycle time:
The cycle time Tc can be calculated by the user with the following formula:
Tc ≥ Tb + Tp
with Tb = transfer time of CS31 system bus
and Tp = programming processing time.
The program processing time is the time obtained when you add together the processing time
of all functions in the user program (a list of all the times can be found in the documentation for
the 907 PC 331 programming software).
The program processing time for 1 KB is generally:
Õ 0.4 ms with 100 % digital instructions
Õ 1.2 ms with 65 % digital instructions and 35 % word instructions.
The bus transmission time is calculated from the installation configuration. This involves
adding the times of all units on the bus. The overall time for extensible remote units is
calculated by adding the unit time to the times for the connected extensions (see the following
table)
Õ Default value: 10 ms

5.4.2 Configuration with the CS31CO function block
The CS31CO function block enables certain remote units to be configured and their
configuration to be obtained.
The description of each unit indicates whether a remote unit or extension requires
configuration with the CS31CO block.
The possible configurations, depending on the units, are:
- Configuration for detecting a cut wire on an input or digital output
- Configuration for configurable I/O units, of a channel as an input or an output
- Configuration of analog input/outputs as power or voltage
- Configuration of the filtering time of a digital input.
A detailed description of the function block can be found in the online help and documentation
of the programming software.
5.4.3 Configuration with the MAIL command
In this case, use is made of the fact that the AC31 40 and 50 series basic units use a dialog
language at the programming interface which allows the execution and querying of the I/O
configuration with simple protocols.
The special function I/O configuration is usually present.
The following can be used as the terminal:
– A conventional terminal with the interface EIA-232, e.g. VT100.
– A PC with the programming software 907 PC 331. In the main menu item "PLC Commun.2“,
submenu item "Terminal emulation“, all the interface data is automatically set correctly.
Refer to the detailed description in the 907 PC 331 programming software documentation.

6 Communication
6.1 Communication between basic units on the CS31 system bus

The 50 series basic units have a CS31 system bus interface. They can either be used in the
MASTER mode of operation or, instead of an extensible remote unit or I/O device, as a
SLAVE.
With this configuration you can improve performance considerably if part of the process is
processed locally. Program execution is much quicker and availability is improved, for a slave
can continue to control its own local process independently.
6.1.1 Addressing in the CS31 system bus
The configuration of the basic unit as a master or slave is done via the system constant
KW 00,00.
The following CS31 addresses are permitted:
Master basic unit Slave basic unit

50 series 90 series
digital analog digital analog
50 series 0 to 61 0 to 61 0 to 61 0 to 5
90 series 0 to 61 0 to 5 0 to 61 0 to 5
6.1.2 Defining the communication data
A slave basic unit is regarded as a digital or analog input/output unit by the master basic unit.
The volume of data which is exchanged between the master and the slave basic units for
every CS31 bus cycle can be defined via the configuration. To optimize communications times
on the CS31 system bus, this value should be selected in accordance with the actual data
volume transferred.
The maximum number for a bit configuration is 120 inputs and 120 outputs and the maximum
for an analog configuration is 8 word inputs and 8 word outputs.
These settings are made in the system constants KW 00,10 and KW 00,11.
• Size of the transmitting area of the slave basic unit
Õ Symbolic identifier: SLV_SEND
The slave basic unit can be used either in the binary area or word area at the CS 31
system bus. The digital values are transferred byte by byte. It is possible to set the number
of bytes (or words) which are to be sent from the slave basic unit to the master basic unit.

Communication is of greater importance in wide area installations. The AC31 system features
other interfaces in addition to the CS31 system bus, in order to support different
communication modes.
This chapter provides a detailed description of the interfaces available with the 40 and 50
series basic units which support three communications protocols on the same serial interface
®
(Figure 3). The MODBUS mode is the easiest and at the same time the most powerful of the
three for communicating with other devices.
6.2 Network communication via the integrated MODBUS® interface
6.2.1 Protocol description

® ®
The MODBUS protocol is used worldwide. The MODICON MODBUS RTU protocol was
integrated in the 40 and 50 series basic units.
Numerous automation devices such as PLCs, displays, frequency converters or monitoring
®
systems feature by default, or as an option, a MODBUS RTU interface and can therefore
easily communicate with the 40 or 50 basic units via the serial interface (RS232 or RS485).
Figures 4, 5 and 6 show three configuration examples:

Point to point connection with a PC (Figure 4)
Network connection with a PC (Figure 5)
Network connection between basic units (Figure 6)
®
MODBUS is a question/answer protocol that is still occasionally referred to as master/slave:
the master sends a request to the slave and waits for the slave’s reply.
®
The master devices on a MODBUS network are generally basic units, displays or monitoring
®
systems. The slaves on the MODBUS network are generally PLCs, frequency converter, etc.
®
Description of the MODBUS protocol:
Available on RS-232, RS-485, optic fibers,...

Mode RS485 half-duplex
Number of connection points 1 master
max. 1 slave with RS232 interface
max. 31 slaves with RS485 interface
max. 255 slaves with bus amplifier
®
Protocol MODBUS (master/slave)
Data transmission control CRC 16
Speed Up to 19,200 baud
Maximum length On RS-485:
1,200 m at 19,200 baud
1,500 m at 300 baud

®
The MODBUS frames transmitted by the master contain the following information:
®
- The MODBUS address of the interrogated slave (1 byte)
- The function code defining the master request (1 byte)
- The data to be exchanged (N bytes)
- The CRC16 control code (2 bytes)
The frame has a maximum total length of 240 bytes, thereby enabling the exchange of a
maximum of 100 data words or 255 binary data.
The slave’s reply contains the request confirmation, the data to be returned and also a frame
control code. The slave returns an error code in the event of an error.
Further information on protocols can be found in the appendix.
®
Only the following MODBUS operation codes may be processed by the 40 and 50 series
basic units:
Function codes (Hex) Description

01 or 02 Read n bits
03 or 04 Read n words
05 Write a bit
06 Write a word
07 Rapid read of 8 bits
08 Diagnosis/initialization
0F Write n bits
10 Write n words
The following codes are generated in the event of an error:
Error codes Description

01 Unknown function code
02 Address error
03 Data error

6.2.2 Configuration of the MODBUS interface
®
MODBUS communication with the 40 and 50 series basic units is only allowed if the black 07
SK 51 or 07 SK 53 cables are used.
®
The serial interface of the 40 and 50 series basic units have a default MODBUS
configuration with the following parameters:
®
- Mode: MODBUS slave 1 unit
- Baud rate: 9,600 baud
- Number of stop bits: 1
- Number of data bits: 8
- Parity: None
The mode is changed via the system constant KW 00,06 (see chapter 5).
Changes to the speed, number of stop bits, data bits or parity is programmed in the PLC
program with the SINIT function (see appropriate documentation). The SINIT does not need to
be used if your application uses the standard parameters.
®
The MODBUS mode remains available even if the basic unit program was stopped (the front
switch is set to OFF) when the black 07 SK 51 or 07 SK 53 cable is connected and the serial
®
interface is configured for MODBUS communication. The programming mode for tests and
modifications becomes available when the grey 07 SK 50 or 07 SK 52 cable is used.
6.2.3 Programming
®
MODBUS slave unit
® ®
All the data may be read or written in MODBUS . A program is not required for MODBUS
®
communication management. The MODBUS slave basic unit automatically converts the
®
request sent by the MODBUS master basic unit and returns a message as soon as it
recognizes the address.
The SINIT function is only required in the program when communication parameters are
changed.
®
MODBUS master unit
®
The MODBUS function enables data read/write requests to sent to the MODBUS slaves .
The SINIT function must be used in the program if the communication parameters are
changed.
List of cross references

®
An exchange of MODBUS data is in the form of a table which is defined by the following
elements:
®
- The MODBUS address of the first exchanged variable
- The size of the list = the total number of variables in the list.
All the variables of the 40 and 50 series basic units, as described in the following table, can be
®
read or written by the master MODBUS .

ASCII communication
Figure 9: Example of ASCII configuration
6.3.1 Protocol description
ASCII communication is a protocol which enables the exchange of text coded in ASCII
(American Standard Code of Information Interchange) between two devices, for example.
This protocol may be used by the 40 and 50 series basic units to communicate with a printer or
terminal fitted with a ASCII interface (Figure 7).
6.3.2 Configuration of the communication
Using a black 07 SK 51 or 07 SK 53 cable

The serial interface of the 40 and 50 series basic units is configured by default in programming
®
and test mode with the grey 07 SK 51 or 07 SK 53 cable and in MODBUS mode with the
black 07 SK 51 or 07 SK 53 cable.
To change the programming mode to ASCII mode, the system constant KW 00,06 must be
changed (see chapter 5)
Communication parameters
There isn’t a default configuration. It is therefore necessary to configure the communication
partners (speed, stop bits, data bits, parity, end of frame) with the SINIT function (see the
description of the functions) in the user program.
6.3.3 Programming
In addition to the mandatory SINIT function for parameter configuration, there are also two
other functions for ASCII communication.
Sending messages
An ASCII message is sent from one 40 or 50 series basic unit to another device by means of
the DRUCK function in the user program.
Receiving messages
An ASCII message is received on a 40 or 50 series basic unit with the EMAS function.
A detailed description of the SINIT, DRUCK and EMAS functions can be found in the functions
documentation.

6.4 Point to point communication with the programming protocol

This example uses the serial interface of the basic unit and is reserved for devices with an
ABB programming interface (Figure 8).
6.4.1 Description
All variable values can be read or written by this protocol without the need for a configuration
or any particular program in the basic units. You simply use the grey 07 SK 50 or 07 SK 52
programming cable.
The following communications parameters are permitted:
- 9,600 baud
- 8 data bits
- 1 stop bit
- No parity
6.4.2 The command list of the integrated editor which is available in terminal mode
The terminal mode is used with the active mode of the 40 and 50 series basic units.
The basic unit can be programmed and tested. All the operating functions are available.
Communication is in ASCII protocol.
The terminal mode can be used with a terminal or the AC31 907 PC 331 programming and
test software.
A detailed description of the terminal mode can be found in the programming software
documentation.
The list of the various commands can be displayed with the command H<CR>. See the next

7 Diagnosis
The aim of diagnosis for the 40 and 50 series basic units is to ensure a rapid and efficient
localization of potential errors.
Figure 1: LEDs for detecting errors
7.1 Types of errors detected

The errors detected can be divided into four classes.

7.2 Detection of errors
The detected errors are transmitted to the basic unit which signals their presence on the red
ERR LEDs located on the front of the basic unit (see Figure 1).
An error on a remote unit is also shown by the ERR LED of the unit concerned.
If an error occurs in an extension, the SUPPLY LED flashes on the extension concerned.
As soon as the error has been detected and corrected by the user it can be acknowledged:
Õ By restarting the basic unit
Õ Via the software
Õ Or via the program.
Only one error for each class is stored. If more than one error of the same class occurs at the
same time:
Õ Only the first error is stored.
Õ The first error should be acknowledged to allow the following errors to be read, this
procedure should be followed right up to the last error.
Õ Before the first error is acknowledged, the subsequent errors are not displayed.

7.3 Read the PLC status via the programming software
Detailed information concerning the status of the basic unit and the detected errors can be
called with the programming software. Click the ”PLC status information” icon in the menu item
”SPS-Commun. 3”.
The data displayed in the status window is updated when the window is opened again.
7.4 Error management via programming

If error management is performed via programming, the basic unit is able to react to an error
immediately. Suitable immediate measures can be programmed.
7.4.1 Description of the diagnosis variables
Each error is identified by the number of the class it belongs to, an error code within that class
and appropriate arguments. Only one error per class may be stored and detailed by the basic
unit within a predefined group of internal variables.
The user program can access the values of these variables and use them for error
management.
Comment: You can access PLC error information using ”PLC status information” in the menu
item ”SPS-Commun. 3”.

A2 Historical values
Historical values are basic unit specific internal variables which enable the interim results of
results, which are required for numerous cycles, to be stored.
So that cycle N can be executed correctly, certain functions require the results obtained during
cycle N-1 (e.g. the PI and PIDT1 controllers).
The total number of available historical values in the 40 and 50 series is 256.
The following table contains a list of functions with the number of historical values which they
