1.1-1 General

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop, which is a sub-set of the X-TEL SoftwareWorkshop, is intended for the development of single PLC applications corre-sponding to a single project and a single station. It is fully integrated into thePresentation Manager (PM) Graphic User Interface environment for OS/2 and supportsIBM Common User Access (CUA) standards for the operating environment.The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop will run with OS/2 version 1.2, 1.3 or 2.1.

In this environment, MINI X-TEL ensures the functions of Program Integrator, ServiceGenerator and Application Manager.It supports the development of an application for any of the following PLCs:• TSX 17-20, TSX 27/47 (PL7-2 language),• TSX V3, TSX V4, PMX V4 (PL7-3, PL7-3 GLT or PL7-3 GLD languages),• TSX V5, PMX V5 (PL7-3, PL7-3 GLT or PL7-3 GLD languages).

Ease of use

• Access to the tools and functions is obtained from a single primary window,• MINI X-TEL proposes only those functions that are compatible with the type of PLC

selected,• Under MINI X-TEL, an optional software program (or tool) is accessible as soon as it

is installed. However, the user can inhibit the use of a function via a commandaccessible from the menu bar,

• MINI X-TEL can be started automatically as soon as the terminal is powered up, if thelatter is equipped with OS/2 1.3 or higher.

AIntroduction to MINI X-TEL 1

The ability to run programs simultaneously

MINI X-TEL lets the user run several programs simultaneously, transition from oneprogram to another is seamless and instantaneous.

Compatibility of a user program application with X-TEL

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop uses the same type of file tree structure as X-TEL,but it is strictly limited to a single project and a single station. Apart from thisrestriction, there is total compatibility between MINI X-TEL and X-TEL in the structureof the user files accessed.

Application Migration

• MINI X-TEL to X-TELAn application developed under the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop can be trans-ferred to an X-TEL Software Workshop. After the transfer, the application can bedirectly accessed without any additional operations, other than the usual selectionspermitting access to an X-TEL station (refer to Divider A, Sub-section 3.3).

• X-TEL to MINI X-TELAn application developed under the X-TEL Software Workshop can be transferred toa MINI X-TEL Software Workshop (refer to Divider A, Sub-section 3.4).

• V4 to V5 levelMINI X-TEL can convert a V4 level application to V5 level (refer to Divider A, Sub-section 3.5).

Remark

The MINI X-TEL and X-TEL Software Workshops cannot be installed simulta-neously on the same terminal.

1.1-4 Application Manager

The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop authorizes the development of single-PLCapplications only and allows only one application to be accessible at a time.This makes it necessary to have dedicated fields on the hard disk for:• The creation and modification of the application (work space),• The storage of the application (storage space).Internally, the operation of going from one application to another can be summed up ascopying the files from one space to the other

- Work spaceThe MINI X-TEL Software Workshop manages a single PLC application limited to asingle project and a single station . Because it is unique, this application is implicitand constitutes the current application in the work space of the MINI X-TEL.When MINI X-TEL is started, without any designation or choice of applications, allactive commands (starting of a program, function, etc.) take effect on this currentapplication as long as the user does not explicitly change the contents of the workspace of the MINI X-TEL.Any reloading of the MINI X-TEL work space overwrites the current application,which is therefore lost.

- Storage spaceThis space is used to store successive versions of the same application, or ofdifferent applications, so that they can be restored in the work space as required.

PLC station terminology

• A FUNCTION is all or part of the automation application of a station. It is also referredto as a dedicated function.Telemecanique modular PLCs are multifunction systems. Each function representsa dedicated function of the automation system.Each function is assigned one or more intelligent I/O modules and a program for usein programming the function (including configuration, actual code programming,set-up and documentation). This functional breakdown only applies to TSX andPMX 47/67/87/107-40 V4 or V5 level PLCs:Example: Sequential programming of the processors : PL7-3,

Axis control programming : PL7-AXE,Communication module programming : PL7-COM.

Each dedicated function installed in the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop and compatiblewith the station of the work space can be used by the station without any prior declarationand has its own work space within the station work space.

• TOOLS are service programs that may or may not be integrated in the basicMINI X-TEL Software Workshop. They increase the effectiveness and the productivityof the Software Workshop.

Tools are assigned to the declared station. Selecting a specific type of station affectsthe type of tools available for use.

Each basic or optional tool installed in the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop andcompatible with the station of the work space can be used by the station without anyprior declaration.

Example 1: Station TSX 17Function: PL7-2Tools available: XTEL-SDBASE:Symbol data base,

1.4 Access Rights______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop, the right of access is defined when the softwareis installed; by default it is defined as Program Max [6]. If the user wishes to define adifferent right of access, this can be done in the specific mode during the installation ofthe software. Six different access rights can be attributed:

- [1] Operate min. (Om) - [2] Operate Max. (OM)

- [3] Adjust min. (Am) - [4] Adjust Max. (AM)

- [5] Program min. (Pm) - [6] Program Max. (PM)

Operate: Allows the installation operator to access the process to adjust the valuesof preset variables.

Adjust: Allows a maintenance technician to access the process and ensure continuedproduction. This allows modification of variables and ensures that PLC Run/Stopincidents are resolved.

Program: Allows the project manager access to all of the functions of the SoftwareWorkshop.

Access to the different tools and functions according to the access rights defined duringinstallation are listed in Divider C, Section 2.

Remark

As the right of access is defined during installation, it can only be modified duringa new installation of the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop.

2.1 Basic Tools_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The purpose of this section is to present the software tools of the MINI X-TEL SoftwareWorkshop. These are described in detail in Divider D of the "X-TEL or MINI X-TELSoftware Workshop Basic Tools" manual, reference TXT DM TLS V4E, supplied withthe MINI X-TEL Software Workshop, reference TXT L BJR V5.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.1-1 XTEL-CONF Tool

The XTEL-CONF tool is used to build the I/O configurations for local and remote racksconnected by a FIPIO bus in TSX or PMX V5 level stations. It also supports automaticconstruction of the application structure based on the dedicated applications used by thestation.

The main applications that can be used are

• PL7-3,PL7-3 GLD/GLT : Sequential PLC programming• PL7-AXE : Axis control programming• PL7-COM : Communication module programming• PL7-PCL : Analog input module programming• PL7-PMS/PMS2 : PMX process control programming• PL7-MMI : Man-machine interface programming

XTEL-CONF CAN ONLY BE USED WITH V5 LEVEL PLCs.

Before using XTEL-CONF, the user must install the required dedicated programs in thestation. If this phase is omitted, XTEL-CONF will not be able to correctly assign the fieldsrequired by the various dedicated programs. Any change in the functions usedrequires running the automatic configuration generation routine again.

XTEL-CONF can only be used on TSXV5 or PMXV5 type stations and supports thefollowing main functions:● Defining the processor type and its memory cartridge size and type,● Configuring PLC I/O: local I/O in the PLC rack and remote I/O accessed via a FIPIO

bus,● Configuring task sampling periods,● Building the application structure from configuration parameters and the dedicated

functions declared for the station.

All of the functions supported by XTEL-CONF and how to use them is describedin detail in the "X-TEL or MINI X-TEL Basic Tools" manual, Divider D - Section 1.

Basic Tools and Optional Tools 2A

All of the functions supported by XTEL-CONF and how to use them is describedin detail in the "X-TEL or MINI X-TEL Basic Tools" manual, Divider D - Section 2.

2.1-2 XTEL-MEM Tool

XTEL-MEM is designed to create a program that can be executed by the PLC using thebinary codes generated by the various dedicated programs, e.g. PL7-3, PL7-COM, etc.XTEL-MEM runs in the X-TEL Software Workshop and can access the binary codesgenerated by the various dedicated applications to integrate them into the complete andfinal application.

The functional breakdown shown below only applies to the TSX and PMXModel 40 ranges:• Sequential programming of PLCs : PL7-3, PL7-3 GLD/GLT• Axis control programming : PL7-AXE,• Communication module programming : PL7-COM,• Analog input module programming : PL7-PCL,• PMX process control system programming : PL7-PMS,• Man-machine dialog programming : PL7-MMI,

XTEL-MEM IS USED ONLY WITH V4 PLCs

Before using XTEL-MEM, the user must define the dedicated tools that will be used bythe Station. If this phase is skipped, the tool will not be able to correctly define the variousfields required by the dedicated functions. Any change in the tools used requiresremapping of the fields.

XTEL-MEM supports functions used during the design and integration phases of anapplication:• PLC processor type selection,• Memory mapping definition,• Binary code integration and chaining when creating or modifying an application,• Elaboration of the associated on-line files,• Binary code version management.

In addition, XTEL-MEM lets the user:• Extract the binary code of the various functions that make up the application from the

stored application file,• Integrate the binary code of a function into an application file. When this is done, only

binary code from functions declared when the application file was created can beintegrated, up to the limit of the available assigned memory space.

3.1 PC/PS-DOS Application Migration_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Import and Export actions can be accessed on the action bar of the MINI X-TEL primarywindow via the File menu.

ImportImport allows the user to import files that are external to the MINI X-TEL SoftwareWorkshop into the directory of a function or tool of the current application in the workspace.

• To import a file it is important to know where it is located:Logical drive\Directory\Sub-directory\...\

PL7-2: Recovering files generated under PL7-2 DOSThe default file tree is:PL7-2 TSX 27/47 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJCODE2\FilenamePL7-2 TSX 17 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJ_2_17\Filename

PL7-3: Recovering files generated under PL7-3 DOSThe default file tree is:PL7-3 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJCODE3\Filename

USER is the default project name. This name can be changed by the applicationdesigner.

PL7-X: Importing X-TEL filesThe file tree is:Logical Drive\XPROPRJ\PROJECT\STATION\FUNCTION\ZONE

• To import a file it is essential to know its directory in the target station field. The usermust only select the storage field:

APPLI or MOD.

Each PL7-X function describes the detailed usage of these fields. In general, mostfiles are imported into the APPLI field (e.g. .BIN, .DAT, .SCY files) while source files(e.g. .LIT, .LAD files) are stored in the MOD field.

ExportExport lets the user export files generated by the PL7-X functions of the SoftwareWorkshop from the MINI X-TEL storage tree. The user must specify the target logicaldevice and the required path before the transfer can be performed.

Application Migration 3A

3.2 Application Backup/Restore Actions______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

These actions are available from the MINI X-TEL primary window via the File menu.Using these actions, the user can:• Backup the current application in the work space to one or more diskettes, with all of

its assigned Functions and Tools,• Restore an application (that has been previously backed-up in a MINI X-TEL or X-TEL

Software Workshop by using the Backup action) from one or more diskettes to theMINI X-TEL Software Workshop.

Note:A Volume or a Project Backed-up on a terminal running OS/2 1.2 or 1.3 cannot be restored to aterminal running OS/2 1.1.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3.3 Application Migration from MINI X-TEL to X-TEL______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The transfer of a MINI X-TEL application to X-TEL is done by using the Backup/Restoreactions of the MINI X-TEL and X-TEL Software Workshops (version V42).The MINI X-TEL Software Workshop uses a file tree structure of the same type as X-TEL,but is strictly limited to a single project and a single station. Apart from this restriction,the file tree structures are the same. Using the Backup and Restore actions, the usercan:

• Backup the application in the MINI X-TEL work space onto n diskettes.The backup is made in a way that is transparent to the user. In fact, the backup is madeat the X-TEL "Project" level, but comprises only a single station.The project and station names are implicit names generated by MINI X-TEL, but theuser can change these implicit names for documentation purposes or to resolve anyconflict of names in the X-TEL Software Workshop.

• Restore the application from these diskettes to the X-TEL Software Workshop.The station restored is directly accessible by the X-TEL Software Workshop by thestandard X-TEL procedures of selecting the project and station.

Remark 1

Restoring an X-TEL station under the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop has to bedone in two steps. The user must introduce all the backup diskettes insuccession and then repeat this process. As the backing up of a project mayinvolve a large number of diskettes, this operation can be limited by creating (underX-TEL) a project dedicated to the transfer to MINI X-TEL, in which the station to betransferred can be selected by a Copy/Paste action. This fictitious project can thenbe backed up and transferred to MINI X-TEL on a limited number of diskettes (1 or2 for a typical station of the TSX V4/V5 type).

Remark 2

Some tools and functions that are declared for a station generated under X-TELcannot be installed in the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop. Therefore these toolsand functions cannot be activated.

2.1-1 MINI X-TEL Primary Window

The Primary Window is displayed when the user requests access to MINI X-TEL.It is composed of:• A title, which indicates the name of the station and its type,

MINI X-TEL: <Name of the station> [ <type of station> ]• An "Action Bar", which groups the majority of the commands that can be applied to

a station and gives access to the action invoking the Key Manager and supportsaccess to the Help screens.

• A list, which indicates the functions and tools available for the current station. All thetools and functions installed in the terminal are directly available and displayed in thislist without prior declaration. The user can choose to inhibit a tool or function, in thiscase the tool or function will still be displayed in the list with the caption [deleted] shownnext to it. The list can be displayed in two formats, "text" or "graphic".

• A scroll bar, which allows the user to display all the tools and functions when the listis too long to be displayed in a single window.

2.1-3 MINI X-TEL Tool and Function Windows

The principle behind these windows is the same, but there are some variations:

The syntax of the window titles is as follows:

Title: TOOL NAME / MINI XTEL

If the working field is blank, MINI X-TEL will display its own logo.

The menus accessed through the action bars are specific and specially designed for thefeatures of each tool.

The PL7-X Functions Windows are not Presentation Manager windows but do supportthe ease of use provided by OS/2.

Window titles:

Title: TOOL NAME / MINI XTEL

These windows do not have action bars but use the same presentation as the presentrange of PL7-3 and PL7-2 programs. They do support the mouse .

The system menu is more detailed than those of other windows. Actions available thereare described separately.

1.4 Options Menu_________________________________________________________________________________________

This menu provides access to two commands that allow the user to:• Delete from the application present in the MINI X-TEL work space, the files and

directories required to use a tool or function.This command only effects the work space and does not delete the tool or functioninstalled in the terminal.

• Add to the application present in the MINI X-TEL work space, the files and directoriesrequired to use a tool or function.This command only effects the work space and does not allow installation of a tool orfunction in the terminal.

These two commands also allow:• Optimizing the disk space used by an application, by deleting the tools and functions

that are not used in the application, thereby reducing the disk space required by thework space and any archive files.

• Optimizing the application memory field assignments.The memory field is configured by default, taking into account the presence of thefunctions installed on the terminal. Deleting a function that is not used in the currentapplication will therefore release memory space for the other functions used.

2.1 Presentation_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Key Manager program is a standard function that is accessed from the main windowin the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop.

The X-TEL or MINI X-TEL Software Workshops are not protected and in X-TEL, thevarious directories and storage layout paths can be created without a software keymodule actually being fitted to the system.

However the programs supplied with the Software Workshop such as XTEL-CONF (forTSXV5 or PMXV5 stations) or XTEL-MEM (for TSXV4 or PMXV4 stations) andXTEL-TRANSFER require presence of the X-TEL right of use installed in the key modulepresent on the terminal.

The original key module lets the user access the basic functions of the SoftwareWorkshop. The various optional programs are individually protected with their ownoriginal key modules.

In order to access a number of programs simultaneously on the same machine, thevarious rights of use must be combined into a single key module. The installationprocedure handles the various steps that ensure that the user has a usable work keymodule.

A key module can take six different states:• Original key module:

The key module supplied with the program contains the original right of use.

• Work key module:The key module comprises the rights of use after the backup key has been made.

• Backup key module:A copy of the rights of use available for backup purposes.

• Help (emergency) key module:A key module that lets the user continue to use the program for a limited amount oftime after a work key module failure.

• Empty key module:A key module after its rights of use have been transferred.

• Temporary pass key module:A key module with a limited service life that lets the user continue to use allTelemecanique programs in X-TEL or MINI X-TEL.

• Incremental key module:A key module that is used to upgrade the rights of use in an original key module to thelatest version.

2.2 Functions_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.2-1 Station Configuration

Telemecanique programs are supplied with a software key module with a right of use.This key module is called the original key module.

Before using the software key module, the user must perform the steps described in thissection.

Transfer the right of useTo use a number of different programs simultaneously, combining their rights of use intoa single software key module is recommended. This operation comprises transferringthe rights. A right of use can only be transferred from an original key module.

Once a transfer has been completed, for as many rights of use as required, a single workkey module contains all of the rights of use. The original key modules have becomeempty key modules.

Note:The reverse action to union of the various rights of use restores them to their original software keymodules.

2.2-2 Using the Station

Once the rights of use have been transferred to a single original software key module,it is strongly recommended that a backup key module be made.The backup operation creates a backup key module that the user should be sure to storein a safe place. It is now possible for the user to start using the workstation with the workkey module just created.

The backup key module is created using a empty key module.

Note:The reverse operation, returning the rights of use to the original software key modules, regeneratesan original key from a work key module and a backup key.

Normal operation of the workstation is only possible with a work key module thatcontains the rights of use for all of the programs that are installed on the workstation.A program can only be started if its right of use is present.During program execution, a regular check is made to ensure that the correct right of useis present in the work key module.If the work key module fails or is removed, the program informs the user that any workin progress must be saved immediately and the workstation correctly and completelyshutdown using the Shutdown action(*). After approximately 10 minutes, the programstops execution making it impossible to save any data on the application if it is still open.

(*) Under OS/2, all open tasks should be closed before powering down the system.

The backup key module should be kept in a safe place. It does not allow the userto use the rights it contains directly, this is only possible with the work key, but it doeslet the user:• Create an help key module that provides approximately 200 hours of operation,

giving time to procure a replacement for the failed work key module.• A means of proving the rights of use that were originally transferred to the work

key module should the latter fail.

2.2-3 Running the Application after a Key Module Failure

Despite the care taken during production of the software key modules, it is alwayspossible that a failure may occur occasionally.To ensure that the user can continue to use their programs while a replacement is beingobtained, a help key module can be created.

The help key module supports approximately 200 hours of operation, equal to approxi-mately 25 eight hour working days.

The time base retained is 15 minutes. This means that the working life of the help keymodule is reduced by 15 minutes each time one of the programs that it contains a rightof use for remains in service for 15 minutes.

When the 200 hours available are used up, the help key module can no longer be used.Its service life cannot be extended.

As soon as a failure is detected on a workstation, the user should:• Save work in progress,• Retrieve the backup key previously stored in a safe place and along with the failed

work key module and an empty key module, proceed to create an help key module,• Create an help key module (Create action). When this action is complete, the backup

key module will become an “inhibited key module”, no longer able to generate help keymodules and the empty key module becomes the help key module that allowsoperation to proceed,

• Return the failed work key module and the inhibited key module to Telemecanique forreplacement.

4.1 Using the UNI-TELWAY Driver

4.1-1 General

The UNI-TELWAY driver in MINI X-TEL is used in 2 types of applications:

- When directly connected, it facilitates the local maintenance of an applicationcomprising an extended UNI-TELWAY bus by permitting the connection of a MINI X-TELterminal at any point on the bus.

- When remotely connected via modems, it permits the point to point connection of aMINI X-TEL terminal to a PLC, via modems and the telephone network, for thepurpose of remote maintenance.

In both cases, all the functions of the MINI X-TEL Software Workshop are available:transfer, debugging, programming, etc.

The MINI X-TEL station behaves as a UNI-TELWAY slave and can be logicallyconnected via the master to any other device within an X-WAY architecture, providingthat the communication does not pass through any other UNI-TELWAY slave (i.e. withinthe normal limits of X-WAY transparency).

X-TEL can access stations A, B, C, D, EX-TEL cannot access station F as E is a slave.

Once the driver and the bus master have been correctly configured, the communicationis completely transparent to the user, apart from the question of performance whichnaturally depends on the amount of traffic on the UNI-TELWAY bus.

4.1-2 Hardware Installation

• Direct connection to the UNI-TELWAY busThe MINI X-TEL station is connected to the bus by a branch cable connected to aTSX SCA 62 subscriber socket either:

- Directly if the X-TEL station is equipped with an RS485 port (COM2 on an FTX 507for example),

- Via a TSX SCA 72 converter (RS232/RS485) in other cases.

Remark

As the data link addresses are configured by software in the driver, it is notnecessary to reconfigure them in the TSX SCA 62 subscriber sockets.

• Connection via modems

- PLC side:

The reference numbers of the modules that can be used are as follows:

- For the modular PLCs:The TSX SCM 2111 module with UNI-TELWAY on channel 1, and TSX SCA1adapter (RS-232, 6 signals),The TSX SCM 2113 module with UNI-TELWAY on channel 1, and TSX SCA3adapter (RS-232, 9 signals).

- For the TSX 17, the TSX SCG 113 UNI-TELWAY module with 9-signal adapter.

Remark

The UNI-TELWAY module can be equipped with either the RS232 6-signaladapter (SCA1), or the RS232 9-signal adapter (SCA3). The additional signalshandled by the SCA3 adapter are as follows:

- DSR (Data Set Ready): indicates that the modem is powered-up (forced in theSCA1),

- RI (Ring Indicator): indicates that the modem has received a call,

- DSRS: bit rate selection.

The use of automatic response modems, which is generally the case (V25standard), allows the user to ignore these signals and to use either theTSX SCM 2111 module or the TSX SCM 2113 module.

- PC side, two modes of connection are possible:

- The use of external modems (cased); in this case the RS232 port of the PC is used(COM1 on FTX 507)

- The use of a built-in modem card; in this case the connecting cable to thetelephone socket is supplied by the manufacturer of the modem.

Remark

Telemecanique does not sell modems, but can advise its customers concerningtheir selection and use.

Principle of operation

During installation (see Divider B, Sub-section 5.6), a certain number of slave data linkaddresses are assigned to the driver, which must also be configured in the master of theUNI-TELWAY bus.

The number of data link addresses defined corresponds to the maximum number ofX-TEL tools that can be simultaneously used in the connected mode.

• 1st case: Direct connection to UNI-TELWAY: After the X-TEL station is connected to the bus, as soon as the user runs a tool in theconnected mode, the driver will reply to the pollings transmitted by the master to allthe addresses configured (refer to the following diagram). The communication oftool 1 with the remote device will use the first data link address defined in the driver.If the user runs a second tool in the connected mode, the second data link addresswill be used, and so on.Similarly, when a tool is shut down or when the local mode is selected, thecommunication will be interrupted on the corresponding data link, the driver thenmerely replies to the polling of the master on this address. When the last tool is shutdown, the driver stops replying to all the addresses with which it is concerned and isthen considered as disconnected by the bus master. The master then polls theseaddresses periodically (once every 10 cycles), as it would for any slave station.

IMPORTANT

If the master does not poll all the data link addresses configured in the driver, thelatter goes into the fault mode. It is therefore essential to configure all the addressesof the UNI-TELWAY driver in the bus master.

• 2nd case: Connection via modemsThe principle described in the preceding paragraph remains true. The only differenceis that after the start of the first tool in the connected mode, the driver transmits the callsequence of the remote modem to the local modem. The local modem then dials thenumber and makes the telephone connection. Once the communication is established,the driver starts to reply to the polling on all the data link addresses, in the same wayas for direct connection. The operation is then the same until the shut down of the lasttool, after which the driver forces the disconnection of the local modem.

Subsequently, any new X-TEL tool that is run causes the start of a new call sequence.

4.1-3 Performance

The performance of MINI X-TEL when connected to a UNI-TELWAY bus depends onthe following factors:

- The number of devices connected to the bus,- The data transfer rate (with or without modems),- The time out of the master,- The number of data link addresses defined in the driver,- The number of X-TEL tools that are simultaneously connected,- The use of communication-intensive functions, such as transfer for example.

Some of these factors are common to any use of the UNI-TELWAY bus. The installationprocedures are therefore described in the corresponding reference manual(TSX D24004E).

Others are specific to the UNI-TELWAY driver and the user must take care not to disturbthe rest of the communication on the bus by an excessive use of MINI X-TEL in theconnected mode.

4.1-4 Selection of the Configuration Parameters

The creation or modification of the configuration of the driver is described in Divider B,Sub-section 5.6. Only the complementary parameters are described below.

• In the case of direct connection

- Configuration of the driver:Various configuration parameters of the driver are defined on installation orafterwards by accessing the "UNI-TELWAY DRIVER CONFIGURATION" menu ofthe Telemecanique group. These are:

- The communication port of the PC and the transfer rate of the line. These dependon the existing hardware, i.e. the type of PC used and the UNI-TELWAY bus thatthe user wants to connect to.

- The reception address of unsolicited data. The address provided for receivingunsolicited data is not at present managed by MINI X-TEL. The address 0 musttherefore be entered, corresponding to no unsolicited data.

- The data link addresses. These addresses and their direct influence on the overallperformance of the UNI-TELWAY bus are described in the previous section. Ingeneral, it is best to stick to the default configuration proposed during theinstallation procedure, i.e. 2 data link addresses.

- Configuration of the master:The configuration parameters are those described in the manual of the TSX SCM 21.6UNI-TELWAY module (TSX D24005E). Take care to configure all the data linkaddresses defined in the driver, otherwise no communication will be possible.

• In the case of connection via modem:

- Configuration of the driver

- Basic parameters: the transfer rate and the communication port depend on thetype of modem used. Refer to the manuals of the manufacturers of the modemand PC for information concerning these parameters.

- Data link addresses: the number of data link addresses of the driver should belimited, due to the drop in the transfer rate caused by modems on the line. On theother hand, at least two data link addresses should be configured so as to be ableto pass from one tool to another without the calling modem hanging up thetelephone line. When the second tool is run, the first one must be shut down; whichis impossible if only one data link address is defined. As the MINI X-TEL stationis connected to the PLC in the point to point mode, it is recommended to use datalink addresses 1 and 2 to obtain optimum service.

- Modem parameters: the call number must be to the following Hayes standard:P for pulse dialing,T for touch tone dialing,W for await tone.

Example : T011W2125551234 for the touch tone dialling of subscriber 1234 in theNew York area from outside the country.

IMPORTANT:

The entry of a new number is immediately taken into account by the driver,without it being necessary to reboot the PC. However, the modification of anyother installation parameter does not become effective until the PC is rebooted.

- Configuration of the master

- Since the master/slave data link is point to point, two addresses to be polled mustalso be defined in the master: data link addresses 1 and 2.

- The Time Out of the data link level must be selected according to the transmissionspeed.

In the Programming and InstallationManual of the TSX SCM 2116 module(Ref. No. D24005E), the recommendedTime Out is more than the transmissiontime of 10 characters, to which must beadded the delay due to the modems. Inpractice, the values shown oppositegive satisfactory results.

Speed Time Out

300/600 bps 1000 ms

1200/2400 bps 500 ms

4800/9600 bps 200 ms

___________________________________________________________________________


CC

Tests have shown that there is little disadvantage in having a long Time Out, in so faras only one address at the maximum is not polled, this Time Out will occur only onceevery 10 successful pollings of the other address.

4.1-5 Characteristics of the Modems:

The modems must have the following characteristics:

- Conformity with one of the following CCITT notices: V22,V22bis,V32,- Asynchronous transmission mode,- Support the Hayes (or AT) command set,- Automatic answering destination side (V25),- RTC or LS transmission medium, as required,- V24 junction,- 11-bit character format: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 odd parity bit, 1 stop bit,- If an internal modem is used, the card must be ISA or MCA bus compatible.

IMPORTANT:

Experience shows that different behavior can be observed among modems thatconform to the same standards. It has also been observed that certain modemsoperate correctly with certain PCs, but not with others (limits of compatibility, etc.)

We therefore advise users who do not have the appropriate means of investigation (lineanalyzer in particular) to ask their local Telemecanique office for the list of approvedmodems before choosing their equipment.

4.1-6 Configuration of the Modems

On the calling side (PC & MINI X-TEL), the driver takes care of configuring certainparameters of the modem by sending it the appropriate Hayes command sequence, inparticular the subscriber's number of the remote device.On the called side, the configuration of the modem is the responsibility of the user.Depending on their type, the modems can be configured in different ways: by switches,by programming on the front panel, or by programming from a remote terminal by meansof the Hayes commands.

The minimum parameters to be configured are described below, together with thecorresponding Hayes commands.

• Parameters common to both modems:The following parameters must be configured in the same way in both modems:

- Environment- Type of modulation: V22, V22bis,... (certain modems recognize the type of

modulation automatically) [ATB and ATF],- Data transfer rate,- Asynchronous mode [AT&M0],

Number of bits per character: 11 bits comprising 1 start bit, 1 stop bit , 1 odd paritybit and 8 data bits [configurable by register],

- Quality of the line: specialized or RTC [AT&L],

- Signal management: all the signals are managed in a standard way- DTR (108.2), Normal. In line mode, the change from the DTR to the OFF state

forces the modem into the controlled mode and interrupts the communication.When the DTR is ON the modem is ready and connects if a call arrives [AT&D2],

- RTS, Normal. The CTS (106) follows the RTS (105) without delay [AT&R0],Depending on the modems, the RTS/CTS delay can be defined in a register, orby another command [AT*DL0],

- CD (109), Normal. ON when connected and follows the carrier in normaloperation. OFF when the modem is disconnected [AT&C1],

- DSR (107), Normal. ON during communication [AT*MR0].

• Parameters specific to the calling modem:

- It must be configured in the calling mode [AT*CA0],- Selection of pulse or touch-tone dialling [the character P pulse, or T tone is

transmitted by the driver to the modem during the dialling command phase],- Selection of the unit of time for pulse dialling [AT&P1],- The call number is transmitted to the modem by the driver.

• Parameters specific to the called modem:

- It must be configured in the called mode [AT*CA1].

Use the X-TEL "KEY MANAGER" function described in the X-TEL V52 software workshop manual(TXT DM XTEL V52E) section C-9 to process the software keys.

The TXT P XTL V52E complete PACK kit or the TXT K XTL V52 PASS kit :These kits contain a TXT P XTL V52 protection key and a TSX SLC 02 blank key.A working key and a backup key must be created by :• inserting the protection and the blank key in slots A and B of the station or of the key support,• save (Backup function) the protection key (original key) to the blank key,

Result : the original key becomes the working key for the station and the blank key becomes thebackup key,


The V4x ->V52 (TXT RKP XTL V52E) update kit :This kit contains 2 protection keys TXT RK PL7 3 V5 (containing the PL7-3V52 rights) and TXT RKPXTL V52 (containing the rights of the other V52 software), moreover you must have the workingkey for the station with V4x software and its backup key.A new working key containing the V52 rights and a backup key must be created by :• inserting the V4x working key and the backup key in slots A and B of the station or of the key

support,• restoring the rights (Restore) of the backup key for the station to its working key,

Result : the working key becomes the original key for the station again and the backup keybecomes a blank key,

• leaving the original key in the station,• inserting successively the 2 keys of the update kit and for each one selecting the rights which

they contain and transferring them (Transfer or increment function) to the original key,Result : the 2 keys of the update kit become blank and the original key contains the V52 rights.

• save (Backup function) the original key to one of the blank keys,Result : the original key becomes the working key for the station and the blank key becomes thebackup key,

ENGLISH

The V5->V52 (TXT RP XTL V52E) update kit :This kit contains a TXT RP XTL V52 protection key. The execution rights of the V52 software arethe same as those for V5 software. If the working key for the station already contains all theexecution rights of the update kit software, there is nothing to do : the working key for the stationis already created. Otherwise, the missing rights must be transferred by :• inserting the working and the backup keys in slots A and B of the station or of the key support,• restoring the rights (Restore function) of the station backup key to its working key,

Result : the working key becomes original key again and the backup key becomes a blank key,• leaving the original key in the station,• inserting the TXT RP XTL V52 update kit protection key, selecting the rights which it contains and

transferring them (Transfer function) to the original key,Result : the update kit key becomes blank and the original key contains the V52 rights.

• saving (Backup function) the original key to one of the blank keys,Result : the original key becomes the working key for the station and the blank key becomes thebackup key,


General compatibility rules

Compatibility of workshops in relation to the function and application levels :• A V52 station provides programming and operation of V5 applications on TSXV5/PMXV5 type

stations with V5 functions.The software workshop functions are level V52 but the PL7 applications remain at level V5 forV5 stations.PL7-3 applications on V5 stations remain at level V5 or can be changed by PL7-3, if necessary,to level V52.

• A V52 station provides programming and operation of V4 (or V3) applications on TSXV4/PMXV4(TSXV3) type stations with V4 (or V3) functions.Software workshop functions are level V52 but PL7 applications remain at level V4 on V4 stationsand at level V3 for the V3 stations.V4 applications can be changed to level V5 by copying/pasting the PL7 function icons of the V4stations to the V5 stations. Some preparation is required before using this copying procedure (thecomplete procedure is described in the X-TEL V52 software workshop manual (TXT DM XTELV52E).

• While an application remains at level V4 on a V4 station, it can still be processed by V4, V42, V5and V52 workshops; in this case, the V52 workshop simply offers additional working comfort andimproved productivity.

The procedures for application migration are developed for :- all software in the X-TEL and MINI X-TEL software workshop installation manuals (TXT L BASE

V5E and TXT L BJR V5E- part A - Section 3.5),- each tool or function in the corresponding installation manual.
