Introduction

This chapter contains information on configuring the communication between device and HMI.

General Procedure

During configuring communication in PIStudio. The following components and conditions is indeed at least.

  • One PI HMI
  • One connected controller (for example PLC)
  • One Cable Wiring

12.PLC Protocol_html_4d84fc52012aaad6.png

User need to select controller protocol and set communication parameters in HMI project. Please note to set same communication parameter between controller and HMI project. After finishing project, user could download HMI project into HMI and connect HMI with controller by Cable Wiring. Thena simple automation system would be established.

Communication Settings

For example, controller is WECON LX3V series PLC and HMI is PI8070. Please set communication protocol, and set communication parameters in the [Communication].

Timeout

The follwoing are description for the timeout settings from [Communication].

Communication Timout settings.png

  • Wait Timeout(ms): The time HMI waits for a response from the PLC.
  • Receive Timeout(ms): The longest waiting interval between the HMI receiving two characters.
  • Retry Count: The number of retries when there is no response in the communication between HMI and PLC.
  • Retry Timeout(s): The PLC will not be accessed during the Retry Timeout period when there is no response in the communication between HMI and PLC.
  • Delay Time(ms): The speed at which the HMI communicates with the device.
  • Continuous Length: Default value 0 means the maximum length specified by each protocol. Addresses dealt by Maximum Span settings, its read length for single time, if the Continouous Length is 1, which means it will read/write the every register one by one. If the length of Maximum Span is greater than or equal to the Continuous Length, the continuous read/write will be performed in groups according to Continuous Length.
  • Maximum Span:  Set the interval for reading PLC addresses. If there exists two same register type addresses, their interval is less than the set value of Maximum Span, then they will be integrated into a continuous address, otherwise it will be divide into two independent addresses.

Operating Procedure

After creating the [Quick_Start] project,select the [Project]->[Communication].

Information

✎Note: As the communication driver remark mentioned, this protocol requires the DB9 serial port pin 4. But pin 4 is not define, not used or not useful(e.g. the pin 4 is the B- terminal of 485_2 of ig series) for PI HMIs, so it need the user to solder a Pull-up resistor to make the pin 4 working. As for how to solder the resistor on the motherboard, please contact with Wecon technical support for the details.

Modbus Meter

The following example is using the Linfee meter LNF96EY to demonstrate how to set up the Modbus communication.

1. Wiring the RS485 cable first. Because the pin 58 is A, the pin 59 is B for meter. Here we use the COM1 to connect. So the diagram like follows:

LinfeeDiagram.png

2. Check the specific Modbus parameter in the communication menu from LED display.

So from the following pictures, we can know the Meter Address is 85, Baud rate is 9600, CRC None.

Information

✎Note: Meter address usually corresponding to the Device No. in the PIStudio Communication settings.

MeterModbusAllView.png

3. Create new project and change the Communication settings.

Set the protocol as MODBUS RTU Slave (All Function), set Device No. as 85. And COM port setting as 9600, 1, 8, NONE.

PIStudioSetupMeterModbusPara.png

4. Drag the numeric input into screen, and fill in the Modbus Address we want to read according to manual

The following table is intercept part of the manual for Linfee Modbus manual.

0x03/0x04 command data register address:

0x1622Icfloat2Phase Current data, Unit A
Information

✎Note: We usually use the Address Type 4 for read the Modbus registers(Function Code 03)

For example, here we want to read the Phase Voltage Ua (Modbus offset 0006), the Address No. requires input decimal number, and check whether the actual address has one address offset, so the address set like the following screenshot:

MeterModbusPInumericSet.png

Set the Read-Write type for address, because meter only to measuring the data, so set it as read-only, and floating data format.

MeterModbusNumericInputFormat.png

Then download into HMI, if the HMI COM led is blinking and no timeout message show, which means the communication is setup successfully.

✎Note:

  • COM3 only available in PI8000/PI9000 series.
  • CA address could not support continuous writing function;
  • Because of CP address intrinsic property: read control intrinsic property, so please place the character input part in use. Set address with CP0 and character length 10, used to display controller type. And place a number input part, set address with CP5 (cache size). Do not place other CP type address without CP0 in screen, otherwise CP type address is invalid
  • When set value into read & write address, it is necessary to switch the temperature instrument meter to the corresponding interface according to the menu of the instrument where the address locates, so that the value could be written, otherwise, the value could not be written; When the communication write setting of the instrument is turned off, the writing function is invalid. Writing function could be opened by using the 00 address of the CA register, which write 01 value.
  • When continuous writing of a value to a read-write address, please make sure all continuous writing address could be written. Otherwise, if one of these addresses could not be written, then all continuous writing commands will fail.
  • Because of the mechanism problem, this protocol could not support CompoWay/F function that is read-write function of variables in protocol document.
  • When using double-word address, set the data format to 32 bits, otherwise the read/write function is unable.
  • Please set the communication delay time of 10ms in setting, to avoid that the instrument may not be able to communicate in a short time due to too fast data access and too much connection requests.
  • 12.PLC Protocol_html_d428cad280fdefb3.pngBecause of the particularity of the instrument, it is necessary to write the value of the address in the menu interface corresponding to the address, and to enter the menu where the address locates, so that the value could be written.

MicroLogix 1200

The operational address is determined by the connection of Allen-Bradley PLC to HMI. For extension modules or other special conditions, refer to allen-Bradley PLC instruction manual. The following is an example of allen-bradley MicroLogix1200.

  • Bit address I: The address ranges from 0.0 to 255.15. The value of the data before the decimal point ranges from 0 to 255 (decimal). The value from 0 to 15 after the decimal point is the sub address (decimal).
  • Bit address B: The address ranges from 000.0 to fff.15. The first f from left to right represents the block number (hexadecimal); The second and third f from left to right represent the word address (hexadecimal). The value 0 to 15 after the decimal point reprensents the sub address (decimal).
  • Word address S: The word address ranges from 0 to 255 (decimal).
  • Word address TS: The address ranges from 000.0 to ffff. The first and second f from left to right represents the block number (hexadecimal); The third and fourth f from left to right represent the word address (hexadecimal). 

✎Note: Register address TP, CS, CP, N, F and TS address edit are same. D indicates decimal, and F indicates hexadecimal. Different PLC models may support different registers. See the following table.

✎Note:

  • The S7-1200 supports simultaneous connection of three devices, so the driver supports simultaneous access to PLC by three touch screens.
  • HMI access PLC, use S7 protocol, access PLC TSAP 02.01 (S7-1200 PROFINET interface only supports three connections, the default support), detailed reference to the system manual of S7-1200.
  • S7-1200 String type, the default first two bytes are used to store the maximum character and valid characters, so the text data will be shifted back one word address. When interacting with the data, what way this address plc is displayed with is unknown. And because of an extra word of data causes us to display the wrong. The solution is if we use String, then the actual data address we want to operate on is actually shifted back two bytes, so as long as the address on the project is shifted back 2 bits to correspond with the actual data address.
  • HMI operation character length needs to be set to 2 times the length of the Siemens character for proper display.

TSAP setting

  • Regarding the setting of PLC TSAP, HMI provides system special address for setting, it is recommended to run in HMI script initialization, write PLC TSAP to corresponding system special register.
  • HSW10118/HSW1200 = local TSAP of HMI, this is remote TSAP of PLC.
  • HSW10119/HSW1201 = Remote TSAP of HMI, this is local TSAP of PLC.
  • PI, PI+, i series (1.0 system): use HSW10118, HSW10119.
    ie, ig series: use HSW1200, HSW1201.
    HMI V2.0: use HSW1200, HSW1201.

✎Note:

  • The data of TSAP is hexadecimal format. For example: the remote TSAP configured in the PLC is set to 20.00, then HSW10118/HSW1200 should be set to 0x2000, that is, HSW10118/HSW1200=8192.
  • HSW10119/HSW1201 is set up as shown.
  • image-20221228144800-11.png

  • image-20221228144708-10.png

  • AI word address and Ibit address are read-only and cannot be written on HMI.
  • VW address should be even number address, such as VW0, VW2, VW4..., because in the address rule of Siemens PLC, the value of odd number address is equal to the value of previous even number address. For example VW1 = VW0.
  • VD address should be multiple of 4, because it occupies two VW addresses, such as VD0, VD4, VD8...
  • Written value of RTC cannot exceed 255.

✎Note:

  • The upper 2 bits of the address of the HMI register are taken as the sub address, and the real address is the last four bits (for example, if the address is 100256, then 10 is the sub address as 1, and 0256 is the real address);
  • The address range in the table is only divided by the start and end addresses, and some of the addresses in the range have no corresponding address in FP23;
  • The Ctrl register is used to store the control group number and BCC check mode.

Ctrl Register Description

  • The Ctrl register is a special register that does not communicate with the temperature controller. User needs to assign value in the screen according to the settings as in the temperature controller.
  • Ctrl0 indicates the setting of the control character, the valid values are 1, 2, 3 respectively, and the corresponding control group is: STX_ETX_CR , STX_ETX_CR LF and @_:_CR .
  • Ctrl1 indicates the BCC block check mode. The valid value range is 1-4. The corresponding check mode is: 1.ADD, 2.ADD_two's cmp, 3.XOR, 4.None;
  • Ctrl3 reserved

✎Note:

After reloading the HMI project or restarting the HMI, HMI will reset the value of ctrl0 and ctrl1 as 1, so user need to set these two values to make it the same as it in the temperature controller, then communication will be normal.

6Use address

Set the register address related to the CAN frame, which corresponds to the register address set on the main state one by one. The data obtained from the address is assigned continuously;

Edit: Set a bit or word address by its format;

Option: Set address options related to frame, enter “register address option” interface, specifically browse the following “register address option” interface;

7Data interactive configurationThere are two interactive modes of the touch screen. One is that the touch screen actively sends frames, and the device receives and processes and feeds back. The other, on the contrary, passively receives frames from the device for processing and feedback;
Send after receiving: if this item is selected, the interaction of the touch screen will act as a passive party, and the touch screen will receive the CAN frame first and send feedback. Unchecked items interact in the opposite way;
Feedback mode: feedback mode includes no response, confirm response and data response;
No response: the device or touch screen will not receive feedback;
Confirm response: the device or the touch screen will receive feedback with confirmation, which could be used to compare the data parts. If this function is used, the 20 addresses before and after this address should not be used. All addresses of cata10-cata30 could not be used with the reply confirmation function of cata20;
Data response: the device or touch screen will receive feedback with data, and the data to be separated from the feedback frame should be set to store in the register address;
response ID: if the address wants to receive data on a frame with a different ID, set this, check "different from sender", and enter a different ID in the following input box. Without this setting, the screen will receive and process a frame with the same ID as the sender;
Response timeout: sets whether the response frame timeout;
8Control addressIf ticked, enable sending when the value of the corresponding control bit number (address) is non-0.
Control bit: CtrlBit register range 0~255, if the control bit is ON, can instruction will run normally. Otherwise, it doesn't run;

2TriggerTwo operations, "read" and "write," are based on on-screen registers
If "read" is selected, the register address is reading device data in a manner of sending frames set by the user in a loop.
If "write" is selected, the screen data of the register address will be written into the device. The writing mode is that the user makes a write operation on the screen, which will trigger the sending of a frame set by the user.
3Data operationThe read and write operations in the trigger conditions are set accordingly.
If the trigger condition is a read operation, this section needs to set the position and length of the data to be obtained at the current address in the frame.
If the trigger condition is a writing operation, there are two situations:
  • If the "add writing data to the frame" option is not selected, the frame set by the user will be sent directly when the user writes on the screen.
  • Select the "add the written data to the frame" option, and when the user writes on the screen, the program will insert the data in the frame set by the user and send the written data to the frame set by the user according to the data insertion position and length set by the user.
Position and length input formatIf the register type is a bit address, the decimal point is required to represent the bits in the byte. For example, 1.1 represents the first bit of the first byte of 8 bytes in the data frame, and the length is in bits, and so on.
If the register type is word address, the integer only needs to represent the byte, such as 1, which represents the first byte of 8-byte data in the data frame, and the unit of length is byte, and so on.

12.PLC Protocol_html_4635bbe4d7999db0.png

As set above, It is received by the HMI, when the first frame starts with 0X57 0X1B, and the sum of the data lengths of multiple frames is equal to 79 bytes.

Click [Edit Send data] for [Send] setting

  • J1939

12.PLC Protocol_html_a4769e44331ca732.png

[Data] is all data to be sent.

Since the frame of the J1939 frame contains the number of the data packet, so the data sent is: the first byte (number) + 7 bytes of data. If it is less than 7 bytes, it is sent in the actual number of bytes.

  • Customized multiple package

12.PLC Protocol_html_78546f765d6f3deb.png

[Data] is all data to be sent.

As set above, fist frame length is 2 bytes, and others are sent with 6 bytes for every frame, if the last frame is less than 6 bytes, send according to the actual length.
