1 General Information

1.1 Basic Principles

INTERBUS system, the fast, universal sensor/actuator bus system.

The INTERBUS network (or IBS for short) shifts the I/O level from the mater PLC or PC system (Host) directly to the machine or system. A serial bucable connects the host with the I/O modules installed in the system. Threduces the amount of wiring involved to a minimum compared to convetional parallel wiring.

1.2 Automation with INTERBUS

The constantly growing degree of automation and the more complex re-quirements of production and process engineering demand more and mopowerful sensors and actuators for the special application. Today, theINTERBUS system is already supported as an open bus system by mor

1.4 Topology

The INTERBUS network is installed in the system as a compact line folloing one direction. Starting at the controller board, the bus system connecthe respective PLC or PC system (host) with the INTERBUS devices in-stalled in the periphery (e.g., digital and analog I/O modules).

Remote bus The main line installed through the system is known as the remote bus anbridges the distances between the distributed sub-stations. The whole rmote bus may be up to 12.8 km long (from the controller board to the laremote bus device). The remote bus branch or local bus may branch offfrom the remote bus.

From the remote bus, side lines (branching lines) are possible as localbranching lines. These are known depending on their type as remotbus, installation remote bus or local bus.

Local bus The local bus is designed for low-cost, flexible configuration of a distributesub-station in cabinets and terminal boxes. A bus terminal module (BKmodule) starts the local bus. The local bus cables connect the various locbus modules to the respective BK module and to each other.

Installation remote

bus

The installation remote bus corresponds in its configuration to the remot

bus but offers the option of carrying a supply voltage for sensors in the bucable (hybrid cable structure). The installation remote bus can be configured with CDI, CDO, DIO modules and other installation remote bus de-

vices. It is suitable for configuring distributed sub-stations with direct connection of the sensors and actuators. This results in a shorter and lessexpensive sensor/actuator connection.

1.5 Program Description

IBS CMD G4 is a software which enables interactive and control-indepedent configuration, operation and diagnostics of all connected devices in aINTERBUS network..

IBS CMD G4 runs on standard PCs under MS-Windows and can be usefor a number of INTERBUS controller boards.The connection to a controller board can be made on two communicatiopaths:

Through a serial interface (RS-232 level). Connect one of the serial portof your PC (COM1 to COM4) with the diagnostic interface on the front panof the host controller board. The connection is made by a serial connectincable.

For PC controller boards through the respective slot (e.g., ISA bus). If theare several PC controller boards in onePC, the respective board numbeof the controller board must be specified. Board numbers from 1 to 8 arepossible.

1.6 Configuration

With the aid of these menu commands in IBS CMD G4 you can design acomplete bus configuration for a system and configure all devices con-nected to INTERBUS. For example, you can new devices or search for dvices. It is possible to assign addresses, variables and direct links (otheprocess data descriptions) to the input/output channels of the bus deviceYou can combine individual bus segments to form groups. It is also posble to check the bus configuration before startup.

1.7 Monitoring

With the aid of these add-on programs you can monitor and manipulate thdata of all connected devices. The process data of connected devices cabe displayed or output states changed during system operation. The forof representation of the displayed data depends on the individual device oon the device description supplied by the manufacturer. It is also possibto select an optimized form of representation (e.g., numerical value or bachart)..

1.9 Add-on Programs

The IBS CMD G4 software enables integration of add-on programs (motoring, diagnostics and configuration programs) which are for example, prvided by the device manufacturers specially for their devices.Add-on programs which can be integrated via a standardized interface camanufacturer-independently parameterize and monitor the connected dvices of an INTERBUS network.

Manufacturers of INTERBUS devices can use the fixed interface to de-velop own programs specially for their devices and link them into IBS CMG4.

You can request a description of the standardized interface(s) from theINTERBUS-S Club e.V..

1.14 Project Structure

IBS CMD G4 generates the following files for a project:

.BG4 Contains the actual bus topology, the configuration, the addressing, etc

.MES Diagnostics message file. This only appears if you change to the "Diagnotics" operating state and messages arrive.

.STC Diagnostics statistics file. These only appear if you change to the "Diagnotics" operating state.

.INI Project initialization file.

All files of a project are stored on the hard disk in a common directory.Loading and saving is carried out using a Windows file menu. With the

"Save As" dialog box, all files with this project name are copied. If files aready exist with the same name in the target directory, an overwrite waring is issued.

Other Files:

There are a number of other file types in addition to the central project file

*.GP In these files you can store individual worksheets from the preprocessin

*.PAX In these files you can save the parameterization of your INTERBUS

projects. For example, the parameterization contains the startup behavioof INTERBUS and the bus topology.

*.SVC The SVC file contains the complete parameterization and can be used icontroller boards without parameterization memory. The SVC file is anASCII file.

*.CSV The CSV file (Comma Separated Value) is used to make the project dat(*.BG4) available in binary format accessible to other programs.

*.PEX The PEX file is a CSV-format text file that can be re-imported. It contain

all the information in the BG4 file.

*.EPL You can transfer the INTERBUS structure and the process data assign-ments to the "EPLAN" program via these files.

Some of the menu items are context menus. The entries in these contexmenus depend on the selected element in the representation area. Only

the menu items valid and useful for an element are displayed. For examplethe element "Device" or the element "Project" are assigned a corresponding menu. The context menu can be called up using the right mouse butto

In order to reach the unmarked elements of the context menus at any timthe menu commands of these elements can be found as sub-menus undetheir designation in the menu "Edit", "Configuration", "Monitor", and "Dia

2.1 Menu "File..."

2.1.1 Menu "File... Operating State"

Configuration

(Offline)

The operating state "Configuration (Offline)" offers the possibility of creaing and parameterizing a bus configuration without being connected to acontroller board. You can assign addresses, define groups and link pro-cess data "Offline".

No data exchange takes place between IBS CMD G4 and the controllerboard in this operating state. It is, therefore, possible to configure anINTERBUS system without additional hardware.

Configuration

(Online)

In this operating state a connection to the controller board is establishedIn this operating state you can read in a physically available bus configurtion or copy data configured in IBS CMD G4 to the controller board andhave them executed there. In addition you can write to the parameterization memory of a PLC controller board.

Error messages are reported to IBS CMD G4 and displayed.

When changing from the "Configuration (Offline)" to the "Configuration(Online)" operating state it is checked whether the right controller boardtype and an adequate firmware version are available.

Diagnostics In the "Diagnostics" operating state it is ensured that the displayed INTEBUS configuration of IBS CMD G4 matches the currently activated confuration frame of the controller board. This means the position of the de-vices and the process data lengths are compared with the busconfiguration loaded in IBS CMD G4. In the "Diagnostics" add-on progra

you can evaluate among other things statistics for data transmission andview and analyze message files.

Monitoring When changing to the "Monitoring" operating state, not only the device psition and the process data lengths but also the process data descriptionand the process data assignments are checked.You can visualize the data of an INTERBUS network in the "Monitoring" oerating state with various monitor programs.

2.1.2 Menu "File... New"

This command creates a new, empty project.

A project consists of a file set (*.ini, *.bg4, *.stc, *.mes) which can be created in any directory (Default=C:\IBSCMD\PROJECT).

The empty project is assigned the name "NONAME" (i.e., NONAME.ININONAME.BG4, etc.). The file with the extension *.BG4 is the centralproject file which you specify when opening a project. If changes to the oproject are not saved, the "Save As..." dialog box is called up.

The new project contains, by way of default, the following elements:

"Project", "PLC/PC", "Program", "Controller Board", "ParameterizationMemory", "Preprocessing", and "Configuration Frame".

You can only create a new project in the "Configuration (Offline)" operatinstate.

2.1.3 Menu "File... Open..."

The command opens an existing project. Pay attention to the correct patspecification in order to be able to view the desired project with the endin"*.BG4" in the selection box. Only one project can be opened at a time.

You have the possibility of loading projects from older IBS CMD versionsTo do this, select the file name extension *.BUS under "File Format". This the file format of IBS CMD up to Version 1.x. You can then save theseprojects as *.BG4 files with IBS CMD G4.

When you open a project from an earlier version of IBS CMD G4, a text fiwill open in the "NOTEPAD.EXE" program. The text file contains instruc

tions on adapting the old BG4 project to the new version of IBS CMD G4

Status Register

You can check the running process with the standard function status register. As long as a function is being processed, the appropriate bit is set ithe standard function status register. The bit is reset to zero after procesing irrespectively of whether or not the service could be executed succesfully.

Standard Function

Parameter Register

The functions on the bitsByte n+1 bit 1Byte n+1 bit 3Byte n+1 bit 4Byte n+1 bit 5 andByte n+1 bit 6require another parameter for execution. You can enter this parameter ithe standard function parameter register.This parameter is the configuration frame number for the function on bit and the device number for the functions on bit 3 to bit 6.

Result Bit

This bit indicates whether the currently executed function has been endesuccessfully or not. The "RES" bit is part of the diagnostic status registe(byte n bit 2).RES = 1 function not ended successfullyRES = 0 function ended successfully

The function execution which you start with the standard function start bis displayed by the status bit.

You must reset the start bit after recognizing the status bit.

You can only reset the start bit if the status bit indicates that the functionhas been fully executed.

Bus Mode

Mode of Operation:

Asynchronous

Running of bus cycles takes place in the shortest possible time for the cofiguration and is not linked to any further events.

Mode of Operation:Bus triggered The application program receives a message (interrupt) as soon as a bucycle is ended. In this mode of operation, the application program waits fo

the end of the current running INTERBUS cycle.

Mode of Operation:

Program triggered

The controller board receives a message (interrupt) as soon as an appliction program is ended.In this mode of operation the controller board waits for the end of the curent application program cycle.

Default Cycle Time The default cycle time must be greater than the minimum cycle time for threspective bus configuration. Depending on the bus configuration, the

length of the minimum cycle time can vary. If no default cycle time is speified, or the specified default cycle time is too small, the minimum cycle timis adopted as a default. The minimum cycle time is calculated during an Icycle of the controller board.

The entry of a defined cycle time is only effective in the "Asynchronous"and "Bus-triggered" operating modes.

Automatic If you want to have the controller board cycle time specified automaticallmark this option box.

Current Cycle Time The current cycle time is displayed in this info area. The current cycle timis determined by the controller board when the bus is running. This displais not active in the "Configuration (Offline)" operating state.

Start-Up Delay Enter the amount of time that is to elapse between switching on the poweand starting up the controller board. This delay ensures that all the INTEBUS devices can be initialized before the INTERBUS starts up with thecontroller board.

Automatic When this option is checked, the start-up delay is disabled.

Monitoring Times

Bus Warning Time If a fault in the data transmission occurs on the INTERBUS network, the aplication program receives a warning message after the bus warning timeThe standard value for the bus warning time is 0 ms i.e., no warning mesages are generated.

5219B 2-4

Warning Off Even if a bus warning time was defined, you can deactivate this in this otion box. If the option box is marked, the bus warning time is not taken intaccount.

Bus Timeout If a fault lasts longer than the bus timeout, the bus cycles are stopped an

the INTERBUS network switched off. The outputs are reset. The standarvalue for the bus timeout is 20 times the cycle time but at least 200 ms. a default cycle time is specified, the bus timeout is notautomatically set 20 times the value.

Automatic If you have marked this option box, the bus timeout time is assigned autmatically on the basis of existing bus parameters. One of these parameters, for example, is the current cycle time.
