To help you program your controller through the Connected Components

Workbench software, you can refer to the Connected Components Workbench
Online Help (it comes with the software).

Controller Changes in Run Micro820/Micro830/Micro850/Micro870 controllers allow you to make certain

changes while in run mode by using the following features:
Mode
• Run Mode Change (RMC)
This feature allows logic modifications to a running project without going
to remote program mode.
For more information, see Using Run Mode Change (RMC) on page 12.
• Run Mode Configuration Change (RMCC)|
This feature allows changing the address configuration of the controller to|
be made within a program during run mode.
For more information, see Using Run Mode Configuration Change
(RMCC) on page 17.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 11

Chapter 2 About Your Controller

Using Run Mode Change Run Mode Change (RMC) is a productivity enhancement feature introduced in
Release 8 for Micro820/Micro830/Micro850 controllers. It saves the user time
(RMC) by allowing logic modifications to a running project without going to remote
program mode and without disconnecting from the controller. It requires the
Connected Components Workbench Developer Edition Release 8 software to
use this feature.

IMPORTANT Micro820/Micro830/Micro850 controller firmware revision 8.xxx or

higher is also required to use Run Mode Change.

RMC is useful when the user is developing a project by incrementally adding

small changes to the logic and immediately wants to see the effects of the changes
on the machine. With RMC, since the controller stays in remote run mode, the
controller logic and machine actuators will not have to constantly reinitialize,
which can occur if the controller is switched to remote program mode (for
example, first scan bit is checked in program logic to clear outputs).

When user is editing, building, and downloading a project without using RMC, a
full build of the entire controller project is performed and also a full download of
the project is performed. During RMC an incremental build is performed and
only incremental changes are downloaded to the controller.

IMPORTANT Do not disconnect from the controller after performing Run Mode
Change, do a full build, and try to reconnect. Connected Components
Workbench will treat the project in the controller as different from the
project in Connected Components Workbench, and ask to either upload
or download even though the logic is identical.

RMC is performed incrementally at the end of every program scan in order to

prevent a large delay in the program scan. This adds up to an additional 12 ms to
the scan time. For example, if the program scan is normally 10 ms, it may increase
to 22 ms during RMC until the update is finished. Similarly user interrupts may
be delayed.

Example of the Benefits of Using RMC – 20% Reduction in Download Time

Number of Time to Perform Conventional Time to Test Logic and
Changes Download (seconds) Accept Changes (seconds)
1 36 29
5 180 130
10 360 255
Memory size of project used for comparison:
Data = 14784 bytes; Program = 2352 bytes
Note: The duration starts when the RMC button is clicked while connected to the controller and ends
when the accept is finished. For example:
1. When connected to the controller, click RMC
2. Modify program
3. Click Test Logic
4. Click Accept to finish, or click Test Logic to make another change

12 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 About Your Controller Chapter 2

ATTENTION: Use extreme caution when you use Run Mode Change.
Mistakes can injure personnel and damage equipment. Before using Run
Mode Change:
· assess how machinery will respond to the changes.
· notify all personnel about the changes.

A new global variable __SYSVA_PROJ_INCOMPLETE has been added to

indicate when Run Mode Changes are being made. This can be used to notify
personnel on the HMI that there are uncommitted changes in the controller.

Bit Definitions of Global Variable – __SYSVA_PROJ_INCOMPLETE

Bit Definition
0 Set when the Run Mode Change process starts.
Cleared once the Run Mode Change is written permanently to the controller
(completion of Accept or Undo).
This bit can be used to warn operators that a run mode change is in progress and
that there are uncommitted changes in the controller.
1 Set if an error occurred while saving the changes to flash or an integrity check failed
during Run Mode Change.
Cleared on the next successful Run Mode change.

When you perform a Test Logic Change, the value of the variable is changed from
zero to one. After you choose to accept or undo the changes, the value of the
variable is reset to zero.

IMPORTANT When a Test Logic is performed, or undoing changes after the Test Logic
is completed, any active communication instructions will be aborted
while the changes are downloaded to the controller.

Uncommitted Changes
Uncommitted changes are changes made in RMC that have not been accepted or
undone after a Test Logic Change has been performed.

If the controller power loses power while there are uncommitted changes, you
will not be able to re-enter RMC upon reconnection. You can choose to re-
download the project to keep the changes, or upload if the uncommitted changes
are not wanted.

If you choose to upload a project with uncommitted changes from the controller,
you cannot enter RMC until you have done a full download.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 13

Chapter 2 About Your Controller

RMC Memory

Run Mode Change (RMC) memory is used to store both the logic and user
variable changes made during RMC. The default amount of memory allocated is
2KB and can be increased up to 8KB. However there is still a limit of 2KB for
logic and user variables changes per Test Logic. To adjust the amount of RMC
memory, the controller must be offline. After you have adjusted the amount, you
must build the project and download it to the controller.

IMPORTANT In a Connected Components Workbench Release 8 project, the available

user data space was reduced by 6 KB to support optimal project settings
for the new RMC feature.
If you have a project that was developed before Release 8, you may need
to reduce the default “Allocated” 8 KB Temporary Variables section from
the Memory page in order to compile the project successfully.

Controller Memory Diagnostics Page in Connected Components Workbench

During RMC an incremental build is performed and only incremental changes

are downloaded to the controller until the RMC memory has been filled.

 About Your Controller Chapter 2

If not enough RMC memory is available to make more changes (for example, a
“not enough memory” error message appears during RMC build or Test Logic),
then a full download must be performed to transfer the incremental changes from
the RMC memory to standard user program and data memory.

Transferring Contents in RMC Memory to Controller Memory

The changes that you have made during RMC are stored in RMC memory and
will remain there until you perform a full build and download (while the
controller is disconnected).

RMC Memory Usage When Performing Full Build and Download Example

However if the controller memory does not have enough space remaining to copy
the contents of the RMC memory as shown below, the operation will fail and a
“not enough memory” error message will appear. Do not use RMC if you are near
the limits of your controller memory.

Chapter 2 About Your Controller

Limitations of RMC

Take note of the following limitations when using the Run Mode Change (RMC)
feature:
• Configuration changes cannot be made (for example, change filter times).
• Up to 2KB of logic (approximately 150 boolean instructions) and user
variables and can be added for each Test Logic.
• Total memory allocated for RMC (cumulative of all Test Logic Changes)
can be increased from 2KB to 8KB, but the 2KB limit for logic and user
variables per Test Logic remains.
• Up to 20 POU (Program Organizational Units) can be added for each
change (for example, if you currently have 5 POU, you can add 20 more for
a total of 25 POU).
• If a User Defined Function Block is modified that changes the local
variables, the local variables will be reinitialized or reset to zero and a
warning message will be shown during the build. If you want to reapply the
initial value, right-click on the UDFB and select Refactor -> Reset Initial
Values of Instances.
• RMC is not possible after doing a Discover Project operation if a new
module is detected because the configuration has changed.
• Exchange files cannot be imported when in RMC because it is considered a
configuration change.
• Making changes to the display configuration (for example, hiding
comments) are treated as logic changes and require you to build the
project.
• Global variables cannot be deleted or modified in RMC, but can be added.
To delete or modify a global variable, Connected Components
Workbench must be disconnected from the controller.
• When using CIP messaging in RMC, setting the CIPTARGETCFG data
type parameter ConnClose to TRUE has no effect. The Ethernet session
does not close immediately upon successful messaging and you have to
wait for the connection to timeout after 60 seconds. This applies to
Release 9 or earlier projects. For Release 10 or later projects, the CIP
connection timeout is configurable.

WARNING: If you delete the output rung when in Run Mode Change and
accept the changes, the output on the controller will remain ON.

See Using Run Mode Change on page 243 for an example on how to use this
feature.

16 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 About Your Controller Chapter 2

Using Run Mode Run Mode Configuration Change (RMCC) is a productivity enhancement
feature introduced in Release 9 for Micro820/Micro830/Micro850 controllers.
Configuration Change It allows users to reuse an identical program with multiple controllers simply by
(RMCC) changing the address configuration of a controller within the program during run
mode. Micro820/Micro830/Micro850 controller firmware revision 9.xxx or
higher is required to use this feature.

RMCC can be used to change the address configuration of the controller during
run mode when the communication protocol is set to Modbus RTU for serial
ports or EtherNet/IP for the Ethernet port. RMCC uses a CIP Generic message
which can only be sent from within a controller program and not from an
external device to the controller.

IMPORTANT During RMCC the scan time may increase to close to 100 ms. Do not
perform RMCC if the controller is performing time critical operations.

CIP Generic Message Instruction for Run Mode Configuration Change

Run Mode Configuration Change (RMCC) can only be performed by the

controller that is sending the message. To do that, you need to configure the CIP
Generic message as a loop-back message by setting the path to “0,0”.

Configure CIP Generic Message as a Loop-back Message

For Micro830/Micro850/Micro870 controllers, the address configuration

change is permanent and will retained when the controller is power cycled. From
firmware revision 10 onwards, Micro820 controllers also retain the address
configuration when the controller is power cycled.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 17

Chapter 2 About Your Controller

Using Modbus RTU Communication

To use RMCC with the Modbus RTU communication protocol, the serial port
must be set to the Modbus slave role. A CIP Generic message is sent from within
a program with the following parameters.

ReqLen 2

RMCC Modbus Example – Set the Parameters

RMCC Modbus Example – Set the New Node Address

The first byte indicates the new node address for the controller. For this example,
the new node address is “3”. The second byte must always be “1”, this indicates
that the Modbus role is configured as Slave.

RMCC Modbus Example – Set the Message Length

18 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 About Your Controller Chapter 2

When the new node address is configured and applied, the port is not restarted.

IMPORTANT You must ensure that the new node address being configured is unique
as it will not be checked against existing node addresses of other
devices.

You can verify that the node address has changed after performing RMCC by
looking at the Communication Diagnostics tab for the controller.

RMCC Modbus Example – Verify Address Change

Using EtherNet/IP Communication

To use RMCC with the EtherNet/IP communication protocol, the controller

must be configured to use a static IP address. If the controller is configured to use
BOOTP or DHCP, the change will be rejected. A CIP Generic message is sent
from within a program with the following parameters.

Use RMCC when configuring the controller during commissioning. Immediately

after changing the IP address, the cycle time may increase up to 100 ms for one
program scan.

After the new IP address is configured and applied, the controller will disconnect
from Connected Components Workbench if communication is through
Ethernet.

IMPORTANT Micro830 controllers do not support Run Mode Configuration Change

using EtherNet/IP.

IMPORTANT You should not perform IP address changes continuously. Allow an

interval of at least six seconds before performing the next IP address
change in order for duplicate address detection to work properly.

You can verify that the IP address has changed after performing RMCC by
looking at the Ethernet settings for the controller.

Installation Considerations Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure (Pollution

Degree 2(1)) to reduce the effects of electrical interference (Over Voltage
Category II(2)) and environmental exposure.

Locate your controller as far as possible from power lines, load lines, and other
sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor
drives. For more information on proper grounding guidelines, see the Industrial
Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines publication 1770-4.1.

(1) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs except that
occasionally temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.

(2) Overvoltage Category II is the load level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level, transient
voltages are controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the products insulation.

Disconnecting Main Power

WARNING: Explosion Hazard

Do not replace components, connect equipment, or disconnect equipment
unless power has been switched off.

The main power disconnect switch should be located where operators and
maintenance personnel have quick and easy access to it. In addition to
disconnecting electrical power, all other sources of power (pneumatic and
hydraulic) should be de-energized before working on a machine or process
controlled by a controller.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 25

Chapter 2 About Your Controller

Safety Circuits

WARNING: Explosion Hazard

Do not connect or disconnect connectors while circuit is live.

Circuits installed on the machine for safety reasons, like overtravel limit switches,
stop push buttons, and interlocks, should always be hard-wired directly to the
master control relay. These devices must be wired in series so that when any one
device opens, the master control relay is de-energized, thereby removing power to
the machine. Never alter these circuits to defeat their function. Serious injury or
machine damage could result.

Power Distribution

There are some points about power distribution that you should know:
• The master control relay must be able to inhibit all machine motion by
removing power to the machine I/O devices when the relay is de-
energized. It is recommended that the controller remain powered even
when the master control relay is de-energized.
• If you are using a DC power supply, interrupt the load side rather than the
AC line power. This avoids the additional delay of power supply turn-off.
The DC power supply should be powered directly from the fused
secondary of the transformer. Power to the DC input and output circuits
should be connected through a set of master control relay contacts.

Periodic Tests of Master Control Relay Circuit

Any part can fail, including the switches in a master control relay circuit. The
failure of one of these switches would most likely cause an open circuit, which
would be a safe power-off failure. However, if one of these switches shorts out, it
no longer provides any safety protection. These switches should be tested
periodically to assure they will stop machine motion when needed.

26 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 About Your Controller Chapter 2

Power Considerations The following explains power considerations for the micro controllers.

Isolation Transformers

You may want to use an isolation transformer in the AC line to the controller.
This type of transformer provides isolation from your power distribution system
to reduce the electrical noise that enters the controller and is often used as a step-
down transformer to reduce line voltage. Any transformer used with the
controller must have a sufficient power rating for its load. The power rating is
expressed in volt-amperes (VA).

Power Supply Inrush

During power-up, the Micro800 power supply allows a brief inrush current to
charge internal capacitors. Many power lines and control transformers can supply
inrush current for a brief time. If the power source cannot supply this inrush
current, the source voltage may sag momentarily.

The only effect of limited inrush current and voltage sag on the Micro800 is that
the power supply capacitors charge more slowly. However, the effect of a voltage
sag on other equipment should be considered. For example, a deep voltage sag
may reset a computer connected to the same power source. The following
considerations determine whether the power source must be required to supply
high inrush current:
• The power-up sequence of devices in a system.
• The amount of the power source voltage sag if the inrush current cannot
be supplied.
• The effect of voltage sag on other equipment in the system.

If the entire system is powered-up at the same time, a brief sag in the power source
voltage typically will not affect any equipment.

Loss of Power Source

The optional Micro800 AC power supply is designed to withstand brief power

losses without affecting the operation of the system. The time the system is
operational during power loss is called program scan hold-up time after loss of
power. The duration of the power supply hold-up time depends on power
consumption of controller system, but is typically between 10 milliseconds and
3 seconds.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 27

Chapter 2 About Your Controller

Input States on Power Down

The power supply hold-up time as described above is generally longer than the
turn-on and turn-off times of the inputs. Because of this, the input state change
from “On” to “Off ” that occurs when power is removed may be recorded by the
processor before the power supply shuts down the system. Understanding this
concept is important. The user program should be written to take this effect
into account.

Other Types of Line Conditions

Occasionally the power source to the system can be temporarily interrupted. It is

also possible that the voltage level may drop substantially below the normal line
voltage range for a period of time. Both of these conditions are considered to be a
loss of power for the system.

Preventing Excessive Heat For most applications, normal convective cooling keeps the controller within the
specified operating range. Ensure that the specified temperature range is
maintained. Proper spacing of components within an enclosure is usually
sufficient for heat dissipation.

In some applications, a substantial amount of heat is produced by other

equipment inside or outside the enclosure. In this case, place blower fans inside
the enclosure to assist in air circulation and to reduce “hot spots” near the
controller.

Additional cooling provisions might be necessary when high ambient

temperatures are encountered.

TIP Do not bring in unfiltered outside air. Place the controller in an enclosure
to protect it from a corrosive atmosphere. Harmful contaminants or dirt
could cause improper operation or damage to components. In extreme
cases, you may need to use air conditioning to protect against heat build-
up within the enclosure.

28 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 About Your Controller Chapter 2

Master Control Relay A hard-wired master control relay (MCR) provides a reliable means for
emergency machine shutdown. Since the master control relay allows the
placement of several emergency-stop switches in different locations, its
installation is important from a safety standpoint. Overtravel limit switches or
mushroom-head push buttons are wired in series so that when any of them opens,
the master control relay is de-energized. This removes power to input and output
device circuits. See illustrations Schematic – Using IEC Symbols on page 31 and
Schematic – Using ANSI/CSA Symbols) on page 32.

WARNING: Never alter these circuits to defeat their function

since serious injury and/or machine damage could result.

TIP If you are using an external DC power supply, interrupt the DC output
side rather than the AC line side of the supply to avoid the additional
delay of power supply turn-off.
The AC line of the DC output power supply should be fused.
Connect a set of master control relays in series with the DC power
supplying the input and output circuits.

Place the main power disconnect switch where operators and maintenance
personnel have quick and easy access to it. If you mount a disconnect switch
inside the controller enclosure, place the switch operating handle on the outside
of the enclosure, so that you can disconnect power without opening the
enclosure.

Whenever any of the emergency-stop switches are opened, power to input and
output devices should be removed.

When you use the master control relay to remove power from the external I/O
circuits, power continues to be provided to the controller’s power supply so that
diagnostic indicators on the processor can still be observed.

The master control relay is not a substitute for a disconnect to the controller. It is
intended for any situation where the operator must quickly de-energize I/O
devices only. When inspecting or installing terminal connections, replacing
output fuses, or working on equipment within the enclosure, use the disconnect
to shut off power to the rest of the system.

TIP Do not control the master control relay with the controller. Provide the
operator with the safety of a direct connection between an emergency-
stop switch and the master control relay.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 29

Chapter 2 About Your Controller

Using Emergency-Stop Switches

When using emergency-stop switches, adhere to the following points:

• Do not program emergency-stop switches in the controller program. Any
emergency-stop switch should turn off all machine power by turning off
the master control relay.
• Observe all applicable local codes concerning the placement and labeling
of emergency-stop switches.
• Install emergency-stop switches and the master control relay in your
system. Make certain that relay contacts have a sufficient rating for your
application. Emergency-stop switches must be easy to reach.
• In the following illustration, input and output circuits are shown with
MCR protection. However, in most applications, only output circuits
require MCR protection.

The following illustrations show the Master Control Relay wired in a grounded
system.

TIP In most applications input circuits do not require MCR protection;

however, if you need to remove power from all field devices, you must
include MCR contacts in series with input power wiring.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 35

Chapter 3 Install Your Controller

DIN Rail Mounting

The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails: 35 x 7.5 x 1 mm
(EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5).
TIP For environments with greater vibration and shock concerns, use the
panel mounting method, instead of DIN rail mounting.

Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, use a flat-blade screwdriver in the
DIN rail latch and pry it downwards until it is in the unlatched position.

1. Hook the top of the DIN rail mounting area of the controller onto the
DIN rail, and then press the bottom until the controller snaps onto the
DIN rail.
2. Push the DIN rail latch back into the latched position.
Use DIN rail end anchors (Allen-Bradley part number 1492-EAJ35 or
1492-EAHJ35) for vibration or shock environments.

To remove your controller from the DIN rail, pry the DIN rail latch downwards
until it is in the unlatched position.

Panel Mounting

The preferred mounting method is to use four M4 (#8) screws per module. Hole
spacing tolerance: ±0.4 mm (0.016 in.).

Follow these steps to install your controller using mounting screws.

1. Place the controller against the panel where you are mounting it. Make sure
the controller is spaced properly.
2. Mark drilling holes through the mounting screw holes and mounting feet
then remove the controller.
3. Drill the holes at the markings, then replace the controller and mount it.
Leave the protective debris strip in place until you are finished wiring the
controller and any other devices.

IMPORTANT For instructions on how to install your Micro800 system with expansion
I/O, see the User Manual for Micro800 Expansion I/O Modules,

Recommendation WARNING: Before you install and wire any device, disconnect power to
the controller system.

WARNING: Calculate the maximum possible current in each power and

common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum
current allowable for each wire size. Current above the maximum ratings
may cause wiring to overheat, which can cause damage.
United States Only: If the controller is installed within a potentially
hazardous environment, all wiring must comply with the requirements
stated in the National Electrical Code 501-10 (b).

• Allow for at least 50 mm (2 in.) between I/O wiring ducts or terminal

strips and the controller.

Chapter 4 Wire Your Controller

• Route incoming power to the controller by a path separate from the device
wiring. Where paths must cross, their intersection should be
perpendicular.

TIP Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the
same conduit. Wires with different signal characteristics should be
routed by separate paths.

• Separate wiring by signal type. Bundle wiring with similar electrical

characteristics together.
• Separate input wiring from output wiring.
• Label wiring to all devices in the system. Use tape, shrink-tubing, or other
dependable means for labeling purposes. In addition to labeling, use
colored insulation to identify wiring based on signal characteristics. For
example, you may use blue for DC wiring and red for AC wiring.

Controllers

Use Surge Suppressors Because of the potentially high current surges that occur when switching
inductive load devices, such as motor starters and solenoids, the use of some type
of surge suppression to protect and extend the operating life of the controllers
output contacts is required. Switching inductive loads without surge suppression
can significantly reduce the life expectancy of relay contacts. By adding a
suppression device directly across the coil of an inductive device, you prolong the
life of the output or relay contacts. You also reduce the effects of voltage
transients and electrical noise from radiating into adjacent systems.

Grounding the Controller

WARNING: All devices connected to the RS-232/485 communication
port must be referenced to controller ground, or be floating (not
referenced to a potential other than ground). Failure to follow this
procedure may result in property damage or personal injury.

This product is intended to be mounted to a well grounded mounting surface

such as a metal panel. Refer to the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.

Chapter 4 Wire Your Controller

Controller I/O Wiring This section contains some relevant information about minimizing electrical
noise and also includes some wiring examples.

Minimize Electrical Noise

Because of the variety of applications and environments where controllers are

installed and operating, it is impossible to ensure that all environmental noise will
be removed by input filters. To help reduce the effects of environmental noise,
install the Micro800 system in a properly rated (for example, NEMA) enclosure.
Make sure that the Micro800 system is properly grounded.

A system may malfunction due to a change in the operating environment after a

period of time. We recommend periodically checking system operation,
particularly when new machinery or other noise sources are installed near the
Micro800 system.

Analog Channel Wiring Guidelines

Consider the following when wiring your analog channels:

• The analog common (COM) is not electrically isolated from the system,
and is connected to the power supply common.
• Analog channels are not isolated from each other.
• Use Belden cable #8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
• Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be connected to
the metal mounting panel (earth ground). Keep the shield connection to
earth ground as short as possible.
• To ensure optimum accuracy for voltage type inputs, limit overall cable
impedance by keeping all analog cables as short as possible. Locate the I/O
system as close to your voltage type sensors or actuators as possible.

Minimize Electrical Noise on Analog Channels

Inputs on analog channels employ digital high-frequency filters that significantly

reduce the effects of electrical noise on input signals. However, because of the
variety of applications and environments where analog controllers are installed
and operated, it is impossible to ensure that all environmental noise will be
removed by the input filters.

Several specific steps can be taken to help reduce the effects of environmental
noise on analog signals:
• install the Micro800 system in a properly rated enclosure, for example,
NEMA. Make sure that the shield is properly grounded.

52 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Wire Your Controller Chapter 4

• use Belden cable #8761 for wiring the analog channels, making sure that
the drain wire and foil shield are properly earth grounded.
• route the Belden cable separately from any AC wiring. Additional noise
immunity can be obtained by routing the cables in grounded conduit.

Grounding Your Analog Cable

Use shielded communication cable (Belden #8761). The Belden cable has two
signal wires (black and clear), one drain wire, and a foil shield. The drain wire and
foil shield must be grounded at one end of the cable.

Clear wire 44531

IMPORTANT Do not ground the drain wire and foil shield at both ends of the cable.

Communication Connections

Overview This chapter describes how to communicate with your control system and
configure communication settings. The method you use and cabling required to
connect your controller depends on what type of system you are employing. This
chapter also describes how the controller establishes communication with the
appropriate network. Topics include:

Topic Page
Supported Communication Protocols 57
Use Modems with Micro800 Controllers 63
Configure Serial Port 64
Configure Ethernet Settings 70

IMPORTANT If all client/server connections are fully loaded, performance may be

affected, such as data loss and intermittent delays during
communication.

Here are some configuration examples based on the limits described in the table
above:

1. The maximum number of drives that can be controlled over EtherNet/IP

is 16. This is due to the maximum limit of TCP Client connections is 16,
and the maximum limit of EtherNet/IP Client connections is also 16.
2. If you have 10 devices controlled over EtherNet/IP, the maximum number
of devices that can be controlled over Serial is six. This is due to the
maximum limit of Client connections is 16.

3. The total number of UDP sockets plus TCP Client/Server sockets has a
maximum limit of eight.

Modbus RTU

Modbus is a half-duplex, master-slave communications protocol. The Modbus

network master reads and writes bits and registers. Modbus protocol allows a
single master to communicate with a maximum of 247 slave devices. Micro800
controllers support Modbus RTU Master and Modbus RTU Slave protocol. For
more information on configuring your Micro800 controller for Modbus
protocol, refer to the Connected Components Workbench Online Help. For
more information about the Modbus protocol, refer to the Modbus Protocol
Specifications (available from http://www.modbus.org).

See Modbus Mapping for Micro800 on page 209 for information on Modbus
mapping. To configure the Serial port as Modbus RTU, see Configure Modbus
RTU on page 67.

TIP Use MSG_MODBUS instruction to send Modbus messages over

serial port.

CIP Serial Client/Server (RS-232 only)

CIP Serial Client/Server allows CIP protocol to be used over an RS-232 serial
port. It is typically used with modems. The advantage over non-CIP serial
protocols is that since the protocol is CIP, program downloads are supported
including CIP pass-through from the serial port to Ethernet.

ASCII

ASCII provides connection to other ASCII devices, such as bar code readers,
weigh scales, serial printers, and other intelligent devices. You can use ASCII by
configuring the embedded or any plug-in serial RS232/RS485 port for the
ASCII driver. Refer to the Connected Components Workbench Online Help for
more information.

To configure the serial port for ASCII, see Configure ASCII on page 68.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 59

Chapter 5 Communication Connections

Modbus TCP Client/Server

The Modbus TCP Client/Server communication protocol uses the same

Modbus mapping features as Modbus RTU, but instead of the Serial port, it is
supported over Ethernet. Modbus TCP Server takes on Modbus Slave features on
Ethernet.

No protocol configuration is required other than configuring the Modbus

mapping table. For information on Modbus mapping, see Modbus Mapping for
Micro800 on page 209.

TIP Use MSG_MODBUS2 instruction to send Modbus TCP message over

Ethernet port.

CIP Symbolic Client/Server

CIP Symbolic is supported by any CIP compliant interface including Ethernet

(EtherNet/IP) and Serial Port (CIP Serial). This protocol allows HMIs to easily
connect to the Micro830/Micro850/Micro870 controller.

Micro850 and Micro870 controllers support up to 16 simultaneous EtherNet/IP

Client connections and 23 simultaneous EtherNet/IP Server connections.

CIP Serial, supported on Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers, makes

use of DF1 Full Duplex protocol, which provides point-to-point connection
between two devices.

The Micro800 controllers support the protocol through RS-232 connection to

external devices, such as computers running RSLinx Classic software, PanelView
Component terminals (firmware revisions 1.70 and above), PanelView 800
terminals or other controllers that support CIP Serial over DF1 Full-Duplex,
such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers that have embedded serial
ports.

EtherNet/IP, supported on the Micro850 and Micro870 controller, makes use of

the standard Ethernet TCP/IP protocol.

The Micro850 and Micro870 controller supports up to 23 simultaneous

EtherNet/IP Server connections.

To configure CIP Serial, see Configure CIP Serial Driver on page 65.

To configure for EtherNet/IP, see Configure Ethernet Settings on page 70.

CIP Client Messaging

CIP Generic and CIP Symbolic messages are supported on Micro800 controllers
through the Ethernet and serial ports. These client messaging features are enabled
by the MSG_CIPSYMBOLIC and MSG_CIPGENERIC function blocks.

See Micro800 Programmable Controllers: Getting Started with CIP Client

Messaging, publication 2080-QS002, for more information and sample
quickstart projects to help you use the CIP Client Messaging feature.

Chapter 5 Communication Connections

Sockets Client/Server TCP/UDP

Sockets protocol is used for Ethernet communications to devices which do not

support Modbus TCP and Ethernet/IP. Sockets support client and server, and
TCP and UDP. Typical applications include communicating to printers, barcode
readers, and PCs.

CIP Communications The Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers support pass-thru on any
communications port that supports Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) for
Pass-thru applications such as program download. It does not support applications that
require dedicated connections such as HMI. Micro830, Micro850, and
Micro870 controllers support a maximum of one hop. A hop is defined to be an
intermediate connection or communications link between two devices – in
Micro800, this is through EtherNet/IP or CIP Serial or CIP USB.

Making a DF1 Point-to-Point Connection

You can connect the Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 programmable

controller to your serial modem using an Allen-Bradley null modem serial cable
(1761-CBL-PM02) to the controller’s embedded serial port together with a
9-pin null modem adapter – a null modem with a null modem adapter is
equivalent to a modem cable. The recommended protocol for this configuration
is CIP Serial.

Validate IP Address

Modules must validate the incoming IP address configuration, whether it is

obtained through explicit configuration or through DHCP.

The following rules must be obeyed when configuring the IP address:

• The IP address for the module cannot be set to zero, a multicast address, a
broadcast address, or an address on the Class A loopback network
(127.x.x.x).
• The IP address should not start with zero, and the IP address network ID
should be not zero.
• The Network mask cannot be set to 255.255.255.255.
• The Gateway address must be on the same subnet as the IP address that is
being configured.
• The Name Server address cannot be set to zero, a multicast address, a
broadcast address, or an address on the Class A loopback network
(127.x.x.x).

The valid range of static IPv4 IP address exclude:

• Broadcast or zero IP (255.255.255.255 or 0.0.0.0)
• IP address starting with 0 or 127 (0.xxx.xxx.xxx or 127.xxx.xxx.xxx)
• IP address ending with 0 or 255 (xxx.xxx.xxx.0 or xxx.xxx.xxx.255)
• IP addresses in range 169.254.xxx.xxx (169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255)
• IP addresses in range 224.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

Ethernet Host Name

Micro800 controllers implement unique host names for each controller, to be
used to identify the controller on the network. The default host name is
comprised of two parts: product type and MAC address, separated by a hyphen.
For example: 2080LC50-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC
address.

The user can change the host name using the CIP Service Set Attribute Single
when the controller is in Program/Remote Program mode.

Program Execution in Micro800

This section provides a brief overview of running or executing programs with a

Micro800 controller.

IMPORTANT This section generally describes program execution in Micro800

controllers. Certain elements may not be applicable or true for certain
models (for example, Micro820 does not support PTO motion control).

For detailed information regarding ladder diagrams, instructions, function blocks

and so on, see the Micro800 Programmable Controllers Instruction Manual,
publication 2080-RM001.

Overview of Program A Micro800 cycle or scan consists of reading inputs, executing programs in
sequential order, updating outputs and performing housekeeping (data log,
Execution recipe, communications).

Program names must begin with a letter or underscore, followed by up to 127

letters, digits or single underscores. Use programming languages such as ladder
logic, function block diagrams and structured text.

Up to 256 programs may be included in a project, depending on available

controller memory. By default, the programs are cyclic (executed once per cycle or
scan). As each new program is added to a project, it is assigned the next
consecutive order number. When you start up the Project Organizer in
Connected Components Workbench, it displays the program icons based on this
order. You can view and modify an order number for a program from the
program’s properties. However, the Project Organizer does not show the new
order until the next time the project is opened.

The Micro800 controller supports jumps within a program. Call a subroutine of

code within a program by encapsulating that code as a User Defined Function
(UDF) or User Defined Function Block (UDFB). A UDF is similar to a
traditional subroutine and uses less memory than a UDFB, while a UDFB can
have multiple instances. Although a UDFB can be executed within another
UDFB, a maximum nesting depth of five is supported. A compilation error
occurs if this is exceeded. This also applies to UDFs.

Alternatively, you can assign a program to an available interrupt and have it

executed only when the interrupt is triggered. A program assigned to the User
Fault Routine runs once just prior to the controller going into Fault mode.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 75

Chapter 6 Program Execution in Micro800

In addition to the User Fault Routine, Micro800 controllers also support two
Selectable Timed Interrupts (STI). STIs execute assigned programs once every
set point interval (1…65535 ms).

The Global System Variables associated with cycles/scans are:

• __SYSVA_CYCLECNT – Cycle counter
• __SYSVA_TCYCURRENT – Current cycle time
• __SYSVA_TCYMAXIMUM – Maximum cycle time since last start.

Execution Rules
This section illustrates the execution of a program. The execution follows four
main steps within a loop. The loop duration is a cycle time for a program.

1. Read inputs 1
2
2. Execute POUs(1)/programs
3
3. Write outputs
4
4. Housekeeping (data log,
recipe, communications)
1
2
(1) Program Organizational Unit. 3

When a cycle time is specified, a resource waits until this time has elapsed before
starting the execution of a new cycle. The POUs execution time varies depending
on the number of active instructions. When a cycle exceeds the specified time, the
loop continues to execute the cycle but sets an overrun flag. In such a case, the
application no longer runs in real time.

When a cycle time is not specified, a resource performs all steps in the loop then
restarts a new cycle without waiting.

Optional Module Normally before the read inputs step, the controller will verify the presence of any
configured plug-in and expansion I/O modules. If a plug-in or expansion I/O
module is missing, the controller will fault. In Connected Components
Workbench software release 10 or later, an Optional Module configuration
option is added to prevent a missing plug-in I/O or expansion I/O module from
faulting the controller if enabled. This option can be enabled separately for each
plug-in I/O or expansion I/O module.

76 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Program Execution in Micro800 Chapter 6

ATTENTION: If the optional module feature is enabled, use the

MODULE_INFO instruction to verify that the module is present because
the controller will not fault if the module is missing.

Controller Load and Within one program scan cycle, the execution of the main steps (as indicated in
the Execution Rules diagram) could be interrupted by other controller activities
Performance which have higher priority than the main steps. Such activities include,
Considerations
1. User Interrupt events, including STI, EII, and HSC interrupts (when
applicable);
2. Communication data packet receiving and transmitting;
3. PTO Motion engine periodical execution (if supported by the controller).

When one or several of these activities occupy a significant percentage of the

Micro800 controller execution time, the program scan cycle time will be
prolonged. The Watchdog timeout fault (0xD011) could be reported if the
impact of these activities is underestimated, and the Watchdog timeout is set
marginally. The Watchdog setting defaults to 2 s and generally never needs to be
changed.

Periodic Execution of Programs

For applications where periodic execution of programs with precise timing is

required, such as for PID, it is recommended that STI (Selectable Timed
Interrupt) be used to execute the program. STI provides precise time intervals.

It is not recommended that the system variable __SYSVA_TCYCYCTIME be

used to periodically execute all programs as this also causes all communication to
execute at this rate.

WARNING: Communication timeouts may occur if programmed cycle

time is set too slow (for example, 200 ms) to maintain communications.

System Variable for Programmed Cycle Time

Variable Type Description
__SYSVA_TCYCYCTIME TIME Programmed cycle time.
Note: Programmed cycle time only accepts values in
multiples of 10 ms. If the entered value is not a
multiple of 10, it will be rounded up to the next
multiple of 10.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 77

Chapter 6 Program Execution in Micro800

Power Up and First Scan In Program mode, all analog and digital input variables hold their last state, and
the LEDs are always updated. Also all analog and digital output variables hold
their last state, but only the analog outputs hold their last state while the digital
outputs are off.

When transitioning from Program mode to Run mode, all analog output
variables hold their last state but all digital output variables are cleared.

Two system variables are also available from revision 2 and later.
System Variables for Scan and Powerup on Firmware Release 2 and later
Variable Type Description
_SYSVA_FIRST_SCAN BOOL First scan bit.
Can be used to initialize or reset variables immediately
after every transition from Program to Run mode.
Note: True only on first scan. After that, it is false.
_SYSVA_POWER_UP_BIT BOOL Powerup bit.
Can be used to initialize or reset variables immediately
after download from Connected Components
Workbench or immediately after being loaded from
memory backup module (for example, microSD card).
Note: True only on the first scan after a powerup, or
running a new ladder for the first time.

Variable Retention

Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers retain all user-created variables

after a power cycle, but the variables inside instances of instructions are cleared.
For example: A user created variable called My_Timer of Time data type will be
retained after a power cycle but the elapsed time (ET) within a user created timer
TON instruction will be cleared.

Unlike Micro830/Micro850/Micro870 controllers, Micro810 and Micro820

controllers can only retain a maximum of 400 bytes of user-created variable
values. This means that after a power cycle, global variables are cleared or set to
initial value, and only 400 bytes of user-created variable values are retained.
Retained variables can be checked at the global variable page.

Data bytes 8 KB 20 KB 20 KB 40 KB
(1) Estimated Program and Data size are “typical” – program steps and variables are created dynamically.
1 Program Step = 12 data bytes.

These specifications for instruction and data size are typical numbers. When a
project is created for Micro800, memory is dynamically allocated as either
program or data memory at build time. This means that program size can exceed
the published specifications if data size is sacrificed and vice versa. This flexibility
allows maximum usage of execution memory. In addition to the user defined
variables, data memory also includes any constants and temporary variables
generated by the compiler at build time.

If the user project is larger, it affects the power up time. Typical power up time is
10...15 seconds for all controllers. After boot up, Ethernet/IP connections may
take up to 60 seconds to establish.

The Micro800 controllers also have project memory, which stores a copy of the
entire downloaded project (including comments), as well as configuration
memory for storing plug-in setup information, and so on.

Guidelines and Limitations Here are some guidelines and limitations to consider when programming a
Micro800 controller using Connected Components Workbench software:
for Advanced Users
• Each program/POU can use up to 64 Kb of internal address space. For all
controllers except Micro870, it is recommended that you split large
programs into smaller programs to improve code readability, simplify
debugging and maintenance tasks.
• A User Defined Function (UDF) uses significantly less memory than a
User Defined Function Block (UDFB). For example, 30% less for a typical
sized program compared to a UDFB with one instance. The savings
increases as the number of UDFB instances increases.
• A User Defined Function Block (UDFB) can be executed within another
UDFB, with a limit of five nested UDFBs. Avoid creating UDFBs with
references to other UDFBs, as executing these UDFBs too many times may
result in a compile error. This also applies to UDFs.

• Structured Text (ST) is much more efficient and easier to use than Ladder
Logic, when used for equations. If you are used to using the RSLogix 500
CPT Compute instruction, then a great alternative is to use ST combined
with either UDF or UDFB.
As an example, for an Astronomical Clock Calculation, Structured Text
uses 40% less Instructions.

Display_Output LD:
Memory Usage (Code) : 3148 steps
Memory Usage (Data) : 3456 bytes

Display_Output ST:
Memory Usage (Code) : 1824 steps
Memory Usage (Data) : 3456 bytes
• You may encounter an Insufficient Reserved Memory error while
downloading and compiling a program over a certain size. One
workaround is to use arrays, especially if there are many variables.

Motion Control

Generally two types of motion control are used in Micro800 motion applications
which have Kinetix® 3 servo drives.
• Indexed Motion – Micro800 issues position indexes to the servo drive
using Modbus RTU communications or discrete I/O. Used for simple
positioning. See publication CC-QS025 for building block example.
• PTO Motion – Micro800 controller uses pulse and direction outputs to
the servo drive for precise control of position and velocity with Modbus
RTU communications or discrete I/O for feedback. Micro800 motion
configuration and instructions makes programming easy. See publication
CC-QS033 for building block example.

PTO Motion Control Certain Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers (see table below)
support motion control through high speed pulse-train outputs (PTO). PTO
functionality refers to the ability of a controller to accurately generate a specific
number of pulses at a specified frequency. These pulses are sent to a motion
device, such as a servo drive, which in turn controls the number of rotations
(position) of a servo motor. Each PTO is exactly mapped to one axis, to allow for
control of simple positioning in stepper motors and servo drives with
pulse/direction input.

As the duty cycle of the PTO can be changed dynamically, the PTO can also be
used as a pulse width modulation (PWM) output.

See Motion Axis Configuration in Connected Components Workbench on

IMPORTANT If an output is configured for motion, then that output can no longer be
controlled or monitored by the user program and cannot be forced. For
example, when a PTO Pulse output is generating pulses, the
corresponding logical variable IO_EM_DO_xx will not toggle its value
and will not display the pulses in the Variable Monitor but the physical
LED will give an indication.
If an input is configured for motion, then forcing the input only affects the
user program logic and not motion. For example, if the input Drive Ready
is false, then the user cannot force Drive Ready to true by forcing the
corresponding logical variable IO_EM_DI_xx to be true.

WARNING: During Run Mode Change (RMC), the MC_Power function

block should be disabled, which will power down the axis. Otherwise the
axis will remain powered even if the function block is deleted.
Take note of the following:
• If a new instance of MC_Power accesses the axis, the axis will enter the
error stop state.
• If MC_Power is inside a UDFB and any edit is made to the UDFB that
changes the UDFB template (for example, adding a local variable), the
axis will enter the error stop state.

Movement Function Blocks

Function Block Name Description Correct Axis State for
issuing Function Block
MC_MoveAbsolute This function block commands an axis to a Standstill, Discrete Motion,
specified absolute position. Continuous Motion
MC_MoveRelative This function block commands an axis of a Standstill, Discrete Motion,
specified distance relative to the actual Continuous Motion
position at the time of execution.
MC_MoveVelocity This function block commands a never Standstill, Discrete Motion,
ending axis move at a specified velocity. Continuous Motion
MC_Home This function block commands the axis to Standstill
perform the “search home” sequence.
The “Position” input is used to set the
absolute position when reference signal
is detected, and configured Home offset
is reached. This function block completes
at “StandStill” if the homing sequence is
successful.
MC_Stop This function block commands an axis Standstill, Discrete Motion,
stop and transfers the axis to the state Continuous Motion,
“Stopping”. It aborts any ongoing function Homing
block execution. While the axis is in state
Stopping, no other function block can
perform any motion on the same axis.
After the axis has reached velocity zero,
the Done output is set to TRUE
immediately. The axis remains in the state
“Stopping” as long as Execute is still
TRUE or velocity zero is not yet reached.
As soon as “Done” is SET and “Execute”
is FALSE the axis goes to state
“StandStill”.
MC_Halt This function block commands an axis to a Standstill, Discrete Motion,
controlled motion stop. The axis is moved Continuous Motion
to the state “DiscreteMotion”, until the
velocity is zero. With the Done output set,
the state is transferred to “StandStill”.

ATTENTION: During Run Mode Change, the Movement Function Blocks

can only be deleted when that Function Block has been done or aborted.
Otherwise unintended axis and Function Block behavior may occur.

88 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Motion Control Chapter 7

ATTENTION: Each motion function block has a set of variable inputs and
outputs that allows you to control a specific motion instruction. Refer to
the Connected Components Workbench Online Help for a description of
these variable inputs and outputs.

General Rules for the Motion Control Function Blocks

To work with motion control function blocks, users need to be familiar with the
following general rules.
General Rules for the Motion Function Block
Parameter General Rules
Input parameters When Execute is True: The parameters are used with the rising edge of the Execute input. To modify any parameter, it
is necessary to change the input parameter(s) and to trigger motion again.
When Enable is True: The parameters are used with the rising edge of the Enable input and can be modified
continuously.
Inputs exceeding application If a function block is configured with parameters that result in a violation of application limits, the instance of the function
limits block generates an error. The Error output will be flagged On, and error information will be indicated by the output ErrorID.
The controller, in most cases, will remain in Run mode, and no motion error will be reported as a major controller fault.
Position/Distance Input For MC_MoveAbsolute function block, the position input is the absolute location commanded to the axis. For
MC_MoveRelative, the distance input is the relative location (considering current axis position is 0) from current position.
Velocity Input Velocity can be a signed value. Users are advised to use positive velocity.
Direction input for the MC_MoveVelocity function block can be used to define the direction of the move (that is, negative
velocity x negative direction = positive velocity).
For MC_MoveRelative and MC_MoveAbsolute function blocks the absolute value of the velocity is used.
Velocity input does not need to be reached if Jerk input is equal to 0.
Direction Input For MC_MoveAbsolute, direction input is ignored. (This is reserved for future use.)
For MC_MoveVelocity, direction input value can be 1 (positive direction), 0 (current direction) or -1 (negative direction).
For any other value, only the sign is taken into consideration. For example, -3 denotes negative direction, +2 denotes
positive direction, and so on.
For MC_MoveVelocity, the resulting sign of the product value derived from velocity x direction decides the motion
direction, if the value is not 0. For example, if velocity x direction = +300, then direction is positive.
Acceleration, Deceleration, • Deceleration or Acceleration inputs should have a positive value. If Deceleration or Acceleration is set to be a
and Jerk Inputs non-positive value, an error will be reported (Error ID: MC_FB_ERR_RANGE).
• The Jerk input should have a non-negative value. If Jerk is set to be a negative value, error will be reported.
(Error ID: MC_FB_ERR_RANGE).
• If maximum Jerk is configured as zero in Connected Components Workbench motion configuration, all jerk parameters
for the motion function block has to be configured as zero. Otherwise, the function block reports an error (Error ID:
MC_FB_ERR_RANGE).
• If Jerk is set as a non-zero value, S-Curve profile is generated. If Jerk is set as zero, trapezoidal profile is generated.
• If the motion engine fails to generate the motion profile prescribed by the dynamic input parameters, the function block
reports an error (Error ID: MC_FB_ERR_PROFILE).
See Function Block and Axis Status Error Codes on page 106 for more information about error codes.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 89

Chapter 7 Motion Control

General Rules for the Motion Function Block

Parameter General Rules
Output Exclusivity With Execute: The outputs Busy, Done, Error, and CommandAborted indicate the state of the function block and are
mutually exclusive – only one of them can be true on one function block. If execute is true, one of these outputs has to be
true.
The outputs Done, Busy, Error, ErrorID, and CommandAborted are reset with the falling edge of Execute. However, the
falling edge of Execute does not stop or even influence the execution of the actual function block. Even if Execute is reset
before the function block completes, the corresponding outputs are set for at least one cycle.
If an instance of a function block receives a new Execute command before it completes (as a series of commands on the
same instance), the new Execute command is ignored, and the previously issued instruction continues with execution.

With Enable: The outputs Valid and Error indicate whether a read function block executes successfully. They are
mutually exclusive: only one of them can be true on one function block for MC_ReadBool, MC_ReadParameter,
MC_ReadStatus.
The Valid, Enabled, Busy, Error, and ErrorID outputs are reset with the falling edge of Enable as soon as possible.

Axis output When used in Function Block Diagram, you can connect the axis output parameter to the Axis input parameter of another
motion function block for convenience (for example, MC_POWER to MC_HOME).
When used in a Ladder Diagram, you cannot assign a variable to the Axis output parameter of another motion function
block because it is read-only.

90 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Motion Control Chapter 7

General Rules for the Motion Function Block

Parameter General Rules
Behavior of Done Output The output Done is set when the commanded action has completed successfully.
With multiple function blocks working on the same axis in a sequence, the following rule applies:
When one movement on an axis is aborted with another movement on the same axis without having reached the final
goal, output Done will not be set on the first function block.

Behavior of Busy Output Every function block has a Busy output, indicating that the function block is not yet finished (for function blocks with an
Execute input), and new output values are pending (for function blocks with Enable input).
Busy is set at the rising edge of Execute and reset when one of the outputs Done, Aborted, or Error is set, or it is set at the
rising edge of Enable and reset when one of the outputs Valid or Error is set.
It is recommended that the function block continue executing in the program scan for as long as Busy is true, because the
outputs will only be updated when the instruction is executing. For example, in ladder diagram, if the rung becomes false
before the instruction finishes executing, the Busy output will stay true forever even though the function block has
finished executing.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 91

Chapter 7 Motion Control

General Rules for the Motion Function Block

Parameter General Rules
Output Active In current implementation, buffered moves are not supported. Consequently, Busy and Active outputs have the same
behavior.
Behavior of CommandAborted is set when a commanded motion is aborted by another motion command.
CommandAborted Output When CommandAborted occurs, other output signals such as InVelocity are reset.

Enable and Valid Status The Enable input for read function blocks is level-sensitive. On every program scan with the Enable input as true, the
function block will perform a read and update its outputs. The Valid output parameter shows that a valid set of outputs is
available.
The Valid output is true as long as valid output values are available and the Enable input is true. The relevant output
values will be refreshed as long as the input Enable is true.
If there is a function block error, and the relevant output values are not valid, then the valid output is set to false. When
the error condition no longer exists, the values will be updated and the Valid output will be set again.
Relative Move versus Relative move does not require the axis to be homed. It simply refers to a move in a specified direction and distance.
Absolute Move Absolute move requires that the axis be homed. It is a move to a known position within the coordinate system, regardless
of distance and direction. Position can be negative or positive value.
Buffered Mode For all motion control function blocks, BufferMode input parameter is ignored. Only aborted moves are supported for this
release.
Error Handling All blocks have two outputs which deal with errors that can occur during execution. These outputs are defined as follows:
• Error – Rising edge of “Error” informs that an error occurred during the execution of the function block, where the
function block cannot successfully complete.
• ErrorID – Error number.
Types of errors:
• Function block logic (such as parameters out of range, state machine violation attempted)
• hard limits or soft limits reached
• Drive failure (Drive Ready is false)
For more information about function block error, see Motion Function Block and Axis status Error ID on page 107.

 Motion Control Chapter 7

Simultaneous Execution of Two Movement Function Blocks

(Busy Output = True)

The general rule is that when a movement function block is busy, then a function
block with the same instance (for example, MC_MoveRelative2) cannot be
executed again until the function block status is not busy.

TIP MC_MoveRelative, MC_MoveAbsolute will be busy until final position is

reached. MC_MoveVelocity, MC_Halt, and MC_Stop will be busy until
final velocity is reached.

Busy1 46054

When a movement function block is busy, a function block with a different

instance (for example, MC_MoveRelative1 and MC_MoveAbsolute1 on the
same axis) can abort the currently executing function block. This is mostly useful
for on-the-fly adjustments to position, velocity, or to halt after a specific distance.

It is possible for the movement function blocks and MC_Halt to abort another

recommended as the resulting motion profile may not be consistent.

ATTENTION: If MC_Halt aborts another motion function block during

MC_Halt and MC_Stop are both used to bring an axis to a Standstill but
MC_Stop is used when an abnormal situation occurs.

TIP MC_Stop can abort other motion function blocks but can never be
aborted itself.

TIP MC_Stop goes to the Stopping state and normal operation cannot
resume.

Motion Axis and The following state diagram illustrates the behavior of the axis at a high level
when multiple motion control function blocks are activated. The basic rule is that
Parameters motion commands are always taken sequentially, even if the controller has the
capability of real parallel processing. These commands act on the axis’ state
diagram.

The axis is always in one of the defined states (see diagram below). Any motion
command is a transition that changes the state of the axis and, as a consequence,
modifies the way the current motion is computed.

NOTES:
(1) In the ErrorStop and Stopping states, all function blocks (except MC_Reset), can be called although they will not be executed.
MC_Reset generates a transition to the Standstill state. If an error occurs while the state machine is in the Stopping state, a transition to
the ErrorStop state is generated.
Axis position still updates even if the Axis state is ErrorStop. Also, the MC_TouchProbe function block is still active if it was executed
before the ErrorStop state.

 Motion Control Chapter 7

Axis States

The axis state can be determined from one of the following predefined states.
Axis state can be monitored through the Axis Monitor feature of the Connected
Components Workbench software when in debug mode.
Motion States
State value State Name
0x00 Disabled
0x01 Standstill
0x02 Discrete Motion
0x03 Continuous Motion
0x04 Homing
0x06 Stopping
0x07 Stop Error

Axis State Update

On motion execution, although the motion profile is controlled by Motion

Engine as a background task, which is independent from POU scan, axis state
update is still dependent on when the relevant motion function block is called by
the POU scan.

For example, on a moving axis on a Ladder POU (state of a rung=true), an

MC_MoveRelative function block in the rung is scanned and the axis starts to
move. Before MC_MoveRelative completes, the state of the rung becomes False,
and MC_MoveRelative is no longer scanned. In this case, the state of this axis
cannot switch from Discrete Motion to StandStill, even after the axis fully stops,
and the velocity comes to 0.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 99

Chapter 7 Motion Control

Limits

The Limits parameter sets a boundary point for the axis, and works in
conjunction with the Stop parameter to define a boundary condition for the axis
on the type of stop to apply when certain configured limits are reached.

There are three types of motion position limits.

• Hard Limits
• Soft Limits
• PTO Pulse Limits

TIP See Motion Axis Configuration in Connected Components Workbench on

page 109 for information on how to configure limits and stop profiles and
the acceptable value range for each.

If any one of these limits is reached on a moving axis (except on homing), an over
travel limit error will be reported and the axis will be stopped based on
configured behavior.

Sample Limits configuration in Connected Components Workbench

Hard Limits

Hard limits refer to the input signals received from physical hardware devices
such as limit switches and proximity sensors. These input signals detect the
presence of the load at the maximum upper and minimum lower extents of
allowable motion of the load or movable structure that carries the load, such as a
load tray on a transfer shuttle.

Hardware limits are mapped to discrete inputs that are associated with data
tags/variables.

When a hard limit switch is enabled, the axis comes to a stop when the limit
switch is detected during motion. If hard stop on hard limit switch is configured
as ON and the limit is detected, motion is stopped immediately (that is, PTO
pulse is stopped immediately by the hardware). Alternatively, if hard stop on hard
limit switch is configured as OFF, motion will be stopped using Emergency Stop
parameters.

100 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Motion Control Chapter 7

When any hard limit switch is enabled, the input variable connecting to this
physical input can still be used in User Application.

When a hard limit switch is enabled, it will be used automatically for MC_Home
function block, if the switch is in the Homing direction configured in the
Connected Components Workbench software (Mode:
MC_HOME_ABS_SWITCH or MC_HOME_REF_WITH_ABS). See
Homing Function Block on page 122.

Soft Limits

Soft limits refer to data values that are managed by the motion controller. Unlike
hardware limits which detect the presence of the physical load at specific points in
the allowable motion of the load, soft limits are based on the stepper commands
and the motor and load parameters.

Soft limits are displayed in user defined units. The user can enable individual soft
limits. For non-enabled soft limits (whether upper or lower), an infinite value is
assumed.

Soft Limits are activated only when the corresponding axis is homed. Users can
enable or disable soft limits, and configure an upper and lower limit setting
through the Connected Components Workbench software.
Soft Limits Checking on the Function Blocks
Function Block Limits Checking
MC_MoveAbsolute The target position will be checked against the soft limits before motion
starts.
MC_MoveRelative
MC_MoveVelocity The soft limits will be checked dynamically during motion.

When a soft limit is enabled, the axis comes to a stop when the limit is detected
during motion. The motion is stopped using emergency stop parameters.

If both hard and soft limits are configured as enabled, for two limits in the same
direction (upper or lower), the limits should be configured such that the soft
limit is triggered before the hard limit.

PTO Pulse Limits

This limit parameter is not configurable by the user and is the physical limitation
of the embedded PTO. The limits are set at 0x7FFF0000 and -0x7FFF0000
pulses, for upper and lower limits, respectively.

PTO pulse limits are checked by the controller unconditionally — that is, the
checking is always ON.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 101

Chapter 7 Motion Control

On a non-continuous motion, to prevent a moving axis going to ErrorStop status

with Motion PTO Pulse limits detected, user needs to prevent current position
value going beyond PTO Pulse limit.

On a continuous motion (driven by MC_MoveVelocity function block), when

the current position value goes beyond PTO pulse limit, PTO pulse current
position will automatically roll over to 0 (or the opposite soft limit, if it is
activated), and the continuous motion continues.

For a continuous motion, if the axis is homed, and the soft limit in the motion
direction is enabled, soft limit will be detected before PTO pulse limit being
detected.

Motion Stop

There are three types of stops that can be configured for an axis.

Immediate Hardware Stop

This type of Immediate Stop is controlled by the hardware. If a Hard Stop on a

Hard Limit switch is enabled, and the Hard Limit has been reached, the PTO
pulse for the axis will be cut off immediately by the controller. The stop response
has no delay (less than 1 µs).

Immediate Soft Stop

The maximum possible response delay for this type of stop could be as much as
the Motion Engine Execution time interval. This type of stop is applicable in the
following scenarios:
• During motion, when axis PTO Pulse Limit is reached;
• One Hard Limit is enabled for an axis, but Hard Stop on Hard Limit
switch is configured as Off. If the Emergency Stop is configured as
Immediate Software Stop, during motion, when the Hard Limit switch is
detected;
• One Soft Limit is enabled for an axis and the axis has been homed. If the
emergency stop is configured as Immediate Soft Stop, during motion,
when the Soft Limit reach is detected;

102 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Motion Control Chapter 7

• The Emergency Stop is configured as Immediate Soft Stop. During

motion, MC_Stop function block is issued with Deceleration parameter
equal to 0.

Decelerating Soft Stop

Decelerating soft stop could be delayed as much as Motion Engine Execution

Time interval. This type of stop is applied in the following scenarios:
• One Hard Limit is enabled for an axis, but Hard Stop on Hard Limit
switch is configured as Off. If the emergency stop is configured as
decelerating stop, during motion, when the Hard Limit switch is detected;
• One Soft Limit is enabled for an axis and the axis has been homed. If the
emergency stop is configured as decelerating stop, during motion, when
the soft limit reach is detected by firmware;
• The Emergency Stop is configured as Decelerating Stop. During motion,
the MC_Stop function block is issued with deceleration parameter set
to 0.
• During motion, MC_Stop function block is issued with Deceleration
parameter not set to 0.

Motion Direction

For distance (position) motion, with the target position defined (absolute or
relative), the direction input is ignored.

For velocity motion, direction input value can be positive (1), current (0) or
negative (-1). For any other value, only the sign (whether positive or negative) is
considered and defines whether the direction is positive or negative. This means
that if the product of velocity and direction is -3, then direction type is negative.

MC_MoveVelocity Supported Direction Types

Direction Type Value used(1) Direction description
Positive direction 1 Specific for motion/rotation direction.
Also called clockwise direction for rotation motion.
Current direction 0 Current direction instructs the axis to continue its
motion with new input parameters, without direction
change.
The direction type is valid only when the axis is moving
and the MC_MoveVelocity is called.
Negative direction -1 Specific for motion/rotation direction.
Also referred to as counter-clockwise direction for
rotation motion.

Axis Elements and Data Types

Axis_Ref Data Type

Axis_Ref is a data structure that contains information on a motion axis. It is used

as an input and output variable in all motion function blocks. One axis_ref
instance is created automatically in the Connected Components Workbench
software when the user adds one motion axis to the configuration.

The user can monitor this variable in controller debug mode through the
software when the motion engine is active, or in the user application as part of
user logic. It can also be monitored remotely through various communication
channels.

Data Elements for Axis_Ref

Element Data Type Description
name
Axis_ID UINT8 The logic axis ID automatically assigned by the Connected
Components Workbench software. This parameter cannot be
edited or viewed by user.
ErrorFlag UINT8 Indicates whether an error is present in the axis.
AxisHomed UINT8 Indicates whether homing operation is successfully executed for
the axis or not.
When the user tries to redo homing for an axis with AxisHomed
already set (homing performed successfully), and the result is not
successful, the AxisHomed status will be cleared.
ConsVelFlag UINT8 Indicates whether the axis is in constant velocity movement or not.
Stationary axis is not considered to be in constant velocity.
AccFlag UINT8 Indicates whether the axis is in an accelerating movement or not.
DecFlag UINT8 Indicates whether the axis is in a decelerating movement or not.
AxisState UINT8 Indicates the current state of the axis. For more information, see
Axis States on page 99.
ErrorID UINT16 Indicates the cause for axis error when error is indicated by
ErrorFlag. This error usually results from motion function block
execution failure.
See Motion Function Block and Axis status Error ID on page 107.
ExtraData UINT16 Reserved.
TargetPos REAL Indicates the final target position of the axis for MoveAbsolute and
(float)(1) MoveRelative function blocks.
For MoveVelocity, Stop, and Halt function blocks, TargetPos is 0
except when the TargetPos set by previous position function blocks
is not cleared.

 Motion Control Chapter 7

Data Elements for Axis_Ref

Element Data Type Description
name
CommandPos REAL On a moving axis, this is the current position the controller
(float)(1) commands the axis to go to.
TargetVel REAL The maximum target velocity issued to the axis by a move function
(float)(1) block. The value of TargetVel is same as the velocity setting in
current function block, or smaller, depending on other parameters
in the same function block. This element is a signed value
indicating direction information.
See PTO Pulse Accuracy on page 120 for more information.
CommandVel REAL During motion, this element refers to the velocity the controller
(float)(1) commands the axis to use. This element is a signed value
indicating direction information.
(1)
See Real Data Resolution on page 118 for more information on REAL data conversion and rounding.

IMPORTANT Once an axis is flagged with error, and the error ID is not zero, the user
needs to reset the axis (using MC_Reset) before issuing any other
movement function block.

IMPORTANT The update for axis status is performed at the end of one program scan
cycle, and the update is aligned with the update of Motion Axis status.

Axis Error Scenarios

In most cases, when a movement function block instruction issued to an axis

results in a function block error, the axis is also usually flagged as being in Error
state. The corresponding ErrorID element is set on the axis_ref data for the axis.
However, there are exception scenarios where an axis error is not flagged. The
exception can be, but not limited to, the following scenarios:
• A movement function block instructs an axis, but the axis is in a state
where the function block could not be executed properly. For example, the
axis has no power, or is in Homing sequence, or in Error Stop state.
• A movement function block instructs an axis, but the axis is still controlled
by another movement function block. The axis cannot allow the motion to
be controlled by the new function block without going to a full stop. For
example, the new function block commands the axis to change motion
direction.
• When one movement function block tries to control an axis, but the axis is
still controlled by another movement function block, and the
newly-defined motion profile cannot be realized by the controller. For
example, User Application issues an S-Curve MC_MoveAbsolute function
block to an axis with too short a distance given when the axis is moving.
• When one movement function block is issued to an axis, and the axis is in
the Stopping or Error Stopping sequence.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 105

Chapter 7 Motion Control

For the above exceptions, it is still possible for the user application to issue a
successful movement function block to the axis after the axis state changes.

MC_Engine_Diag Data Type

The MC_Engine_Diag data type contains diagnostic information on the

embedded motion engine. It can be monitored in debug mode through the
Connected Components Workbench software when the motion engine is active,
or through the user application as part of user logic. It can also be monitored
remotely through various communication channels.

One MC_Engine_Diag instance is created automatically in the Connected

Components Workbench software when the user adds the first motion axis in the
motion configuration. This instance is shared by all user-configured motion axes.

 Motion Control Chapter 7

When a motion control function block ends with an error, and the axis is in
ErrorStop state, in most cases, MC_Reset function block (or, MC_Power
Off/On and MC_Reset) can be used to have the axis to be recovered. With this,
the axis can get back to normal motion operation without stopping the controller
operation.

Major Fault Handling In case the controller encounters issues where recovery is not possible through the
Stop, Reset, or Power function blocks, controller operation will be stopped and a
major fault will be reported.

The following motion-related major fault codes are defined for Micro830,
Micro850, and Micro870 controllers.

Chapter 7 Motion Control

Axis Start/Stop Velocity

Start/Stop velocity is the initial velocity when an axis starts to move, and the last
velocity before the axis stops moving. Generally, Start/Stop velocity is configured
at some low value, so that it is smaller than most velocity used in the motion
function block.
• When the target velocity is smaller than Start/Stop velocity, move the axis
immediately at the target velocity;
• When the target velocity is NOT smaller than Start/Stop velocity, move
the axis immediately at Start/Stop velocity;

Real Data Resolution

Certain data elements and axis properties use REAL data format (single-precision
floating point format). Real data has seven-digit resolution and digit values
entered by the user that are longer than seven digits are converted. See the
following examples.

REAL Data Conversion Examples

User value Converted to
0.12345678 0.1234568
1234.1234567 1234.123
12345678 1.234568E+07 (exponential format)
0.000012345678 1.234568E-05 (exponential format)
2147418166 2.147418+E09
-0.12345678 -0.1234568

If the number of digits is greater than seven (7) and the eighth digit is greater than
or equal to 5, then the 7th digit is rounded up. For example:

21474185 rounded to 2.147419E+07

21474186 rounded to 2.147419E+07

If the eighth digit is <5, no rounding is done and the seventh digit remains the
same. For example:

21474181 rounded to 2.147418E+07

Axis Monitor Example

The Axis Monitor displays seven significant digits with rounding.

ATTENTION: See Motion Axis Configuration in Connected Components

Workbench on page 109 to learn more about the different axis
configuration parameters.

PTO Pulse Accuracy

Micro800 motion feature is pulse-based and the value of distance and velocity are
designed in such a way that all PTO-related values are integers at the hardware
level, when converting to PTO pulse.

For example, if the user configures Motor Pulses per Revolution as 1,000 and
Travel per Revolution as 10 cm and the user wants to drive velocity at
4.504 cm/sec. The target velocity is 4.504 cm/sec (that is, 450.4 pulse/sec). In
this case, the actual commanded velocity will be 4.5 cm/sec (that is,
450 pulse/sec), and the 0.4 pulse/sec is rounded off.

This rounding scheme also applies to other input parameters such as Position,
Distance, Acceleration, Deceleration, and Jerk. For instance, with above motor

120 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Motion Control Chapter 7

revolution configuration, setting Jerk as 4.504 cm/sec3 is the same as setting Jerk
as 4.501 cm/sec3, as both are rounded off to 4.5 cm/sec3. This rounding applies
to both axis configuration input in the Connected Components Workbench
software and function block input.

Motion Axis Parameter Validation

Besides falling within the pre-determined absolute range, motion axis parameters
are validated based on relationships with other parameters. These relationships or
rules are listed below. Error is flagged whenever there is violation to these
relationships.
• Lower Soft Limit should be less than the Upper Soft Limit.
• Start/Stop velocity should not be greater than the maximum velocity.
• Emergency Stop velocity should not be greater than the maximum
velocity.
• Homing velocity should not be greater than the maximum velocity.
• Homing acceleration should not be greater than maximum acceleration.
• Homing deceleration should not be greater than maximum deceleration.
• Homing jerk should not be greater than maximum jerk.
• Homing creep velocity should not be greater than maximum velocity.

available for viewing:
• axis state

• command position in user unit

Homing Function Block The homing function block MC_Home commands the axis to perform the
“search home” sequence. The Position input is used to set the absolute position
when the reference signal is detected, and configured home offset is reached. This
function block completes at StandStill if the homing sequence is successful.

MC_Home only can be aborted by the function blocks MC_Stop or MC_Power.

Any abort attempt from other moving function blocks will result in function
block failure with Error ID = MC_FB_ERR_STATE. However, homing
operation is not interrupted, and can be executed as usual.

If MC_Home is aborted before it completes, the previously searched home

position is considered as invalid, and the axis Homed status is cleared.

After axis power on is done, the axis Homed status is reset to 0 (not homed). On
most scenarios, the MC_Home function block needs to be executed to calibrate
the axis position against the axis home configured after MC_Power (On) is done.

There are five homing modes supported on Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870
controllers.
Homing Modes
Homing Homing Mode name Homing Mode Description
Mode Value
0x00 MC_HOME_ABS_SWITCH Homing process searches for Home Absolute switch.
0x01 MC_HOME_LIMIT_SWITCH Homing process searches for limit switch.
0x02 MC_HOME_REF_WITH_ABS Homing process searches for Home Absolute switch
plus using encoder reference pulse.
0x03 MC_HOME_REF_PULSE Homing process searches for limit switch plus using
encoder reference pulse.
0x04 MC_HOME_DIRECT Static homing process with direct forcing a home
position from user reference. The function block will
set current position the mechanism is in as home
position, with its position determined by the input
parameter, “Position”.

122 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Motion Control Chapter 7

IMPORTANT If axis is powered On with only one direction enabled, the MC_Home
function block (in modes 0, 1, 2, 3) will generate an error and only
MC_Home function block (mode 4) can be executed. See MC_Power
function block for more details.

Conditions for Successful Homing

For homing operation to be successful, all configured switches (or sensors) must
be properly positioned and wired. The correct position order from the most
negative position to the most positive position—that is, from the leftmost to the
rightmost in the homing setup diagrams in this section—for the switches are:

1. Lower Limit switch

2. ABS Home switch
3. Upper Limit switch

During MC_Home function block execution, the home position will be reset,
and the soft limits mechanical position will be recalculated. During homing
sequence, the motion configuration for the soft limits will be ignored.

The homing motion sequence discussed in this section has the following
configuration assumptions:

1. Homing direction is configured as negative direction;

2. The Lower limit switch is configured as enabled and wired;

The different homing modes as defined (see table Homing Modes on page 122)
can have different, but still similar motion sequence. The concept discussed
below is applicable to various homing configurations.

MC_HOME_ABS_SWITCH

IMPORTANT If home switch is not configured as enabled, MC_HOME_ABS_SWITCH

(0) homing fails with MC_FB_ERR_PARAM.

MC_HOME_ABS_SWITCH (0) homing procedure performs a homing

operation against the home switch. The actual motion sequence is dependent on
the home switch, limit switch configuration, and the actual status for the switches
before homing starts—that is, when the MC_Home function block is issued.

Chapter 7 Motion Control

Scenario 1: Moving part at right (positive) side of home switch before

homing starts

The homing motion sequence for this scenario is as follows:

1. Moving part moves to the left side (negative direction);

2. When home switch is detected, the moving part decelerates to stop;
3. Moving part moves back (positive direction) in creep velocity to detect
home switch On → Off edge;
4. Once home switch On → Off is detected, record the position as
mechanical home position, and decelerate to stop;
5. Move to the configured home position. The mechanical home position
recorded during moving back sequence, plus the home offset configured
for the axis in the Connected Components Workbench software.

Scenario 2: Moving part is in between Lower Limit and Home switch before
homing starts

The homing motion sequence for this scenario is as follows:

1. Moving part moves to its left side (negative direction);

2. When lower limit switch is detected, the moving part decelerates to stop,
or stop immediately, according to limit switch hard stop configuration;
3. Moving part moves back (in positive direction) in creep velocity to detect
home switch On → Off edge;
4. Once home switch On → Off edge is detected, record the position as
mechanical home position, and decelerate to stop;
5. Move to the configured home position. The mechanical home position
recorded during moving back sequence, plus the home offset configured

4. Move to the configured home position. The mechanical home position

recorded during moving back sequence, plus the home offset configured
for the axis through the Connected Components Workbench software.

Scenario 3: Moving part at left (negative) side of Lower Limit switch before
homing starts

In this case, the homing motion fails and moves continuously to the left until
drive or moving part fails to move. User needs to make sure the moving part at the
proper location before homing starts.

MC_HOME_DIRECT

MC_HOME_DIRECT (4) homing procedure performs a static homing by

directly forcing an actual position. No physical motion is performed in this mode.
This is equivalent to a MC_SetPosition action, except that Axis Homed status
will be on once MC_Home (mode = 4) is performed successfully.

Chapter 7 Motion Control

HSC Feedback Axis From Connected Components Workbench Release 8.0 onwards, support has
been added for a HSC (High Speed Counter) Feedback Axis which uses the same
instructions as the PTO Motion Axis. UDFBs are still supported (you can use
either one but you cannot select both for the same plug-in).

Example of Selecting Feedback Axis or UDFB with 2080-MOT-HSC Plug-in

The HSC Feedback Axis provides ease-of-use as you no longer need to program
the function blocks, and it also uses up less memory on the controller. The HSC
Feedback Axis uses only the administrative function blocks from the PTO
Motion Axis and they share the same Axis Monitor.

IMPORTANT The counters are not reset to zero for program download. For example, if
using the feedback axis, use the MC_ResetPosition function block to
reset the position to zero.

IMPORTANT If the feedback axis is in the error state because the configured position
limits have been exceeded, using the MC_Reset function block to reset
the axis may not clear the error as there may still be pulse detected from
the encoder.

 Chapter 8

Use the High-Speed Counter and

Programmable Limit Switch

High-Speed Counter All Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers, except for
2080-LCxx-AWB, support up to six high speed counters (HSC). The HSC
Overview feature in Micro800 consists of two main components: the high-speed counter
hardware (embedded inputs in the controller), and high-speed counter
instructions in the application program. High-speed counter instructions apply
configuration to the high-speed counter hardware and updates the accumulator.

ATTENTION: To use the Micro800 HSC feature effectively, you need to

have a basic understanding of the following:
• HSC components and data elements.
The first sections of the chapter provides a detailed description of these
components. Quickstart instructions (see page 215) are also available to
guide you through setting up a sample HSC project.
• Programming and working with elements in Connected Components
Workbench.
The user needs to have a working knowledge of programming through
ladder diagram, structured text, or function block diagram to be able to
work with the HSC function block and variables.

ATTENTION: Additional information is available on the HSC function

block and its elements in the Connected Components Workbench
Online Help that comes with your Connected Components Workbench
installation.

This chapter describes how to use the HSC function and also contains sections
on the HSC and HSC_ SET_STS function blocks, as follows:
• High Speed Counter (HSC) Data Structures
• HSC (High Speed Counter) Function Block
• HSC_SET_STS Function Block
• Programmable Limit Switch (PLS) Function
• HSC Interrupts

Programmable Limit Switch The Programmable Limit Switch function allows you to configure the
High-Speed Counter to operate as a PLS (Programmable Limit Switch) or rotary
Overview cam switch. For more information, see Programmable Limit Switch (PLS)
Function on page 159.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 133

Chapter 8 Use the High-Speed Counter and Programmable Limit Switch

What is High-Speed High-Speed Counter is used to detect narrow (fast) pulses, and its specialized
instructions to initiate other control operations based on counts reaching preset
Counter? values. These control operations include the automatic and immediate execution
of the high-speed counter interrupt routine and the immediate update of outputs
based on a source and mask pattern you set.

The HSC functions are different than most other controller instructions. Their
operation is performed by custom circuitry that runs in parallel with the main
system processor. This is necessary because of the high performance requirements
of these functions.

Features and Operation

The HSC is extremely versatile; you can select or configure the master HSC for
any one of ten (10) modes and the sub HSC for any one of five (5) modes of
operation. See HSC Mode (HSCAPP.HSCMode) on page 140 for more
information.

Some of the enhanced capabilities of the High-Speed Counters are:

• 100 kHz operation
• Direct control of outputs
• 32-bit signed integer data (count range of ± 2,147,483,647)
• Programmable High and Low presets, and Overflow and Underflow
setpoints
• Automatic Interrupt processing based on accumulated count
• Change parameters on-the-fly (from the user control program)

The High-Speed Counter function operates as described in the following

diagram.

HscAppData.UFSetting

134 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Use the High-Speed Counter and Programmable Limit Switch Chapter 8

TIP You must set a proper value for the variables OFSetting, HPSetting, and
UFSetting before triggering Start/Run HSC. Otherwise, the controller will
be faulted. (Setting a value for LPSetting is optional for certain counting
modes.)
To learn more about HscAppData variable input, see HSC APP Data
Structure on page 139.

When using HSC function blocks, it is recommended that you:

• set HSCAppData underflow setting (UFSetting) and low preset setting
(LPSetting) to a value less than 0 to avoid possible HSC malfunction
when the HSC accumulator is reset to 0.
• set HSCAppData overflow setting (OFSetting) and high preset setting
(HPSetting) to a value greater than 0 to avoid possible HSC malfunction
when the HSC accumulator is reset to 0.

In some cases, a sub counter will be disabled by master counter mode. See the
section HSC Mode (HSCAPP.HSCMode) on page 140.

TIP HSC0 is used in this document to define how any HSC works.

IMPORTANT The HSC function can only be used with the controller’s embedded I/O.
It cannot be used with expansion I/O modules.

HSC Inputs and All Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers, except 2080-LCxx-xxAWB,
have 100 kHz high-speed counters. Each main high-speed counter has four
Wiring Mapping dedicated inputs and each sub high-speed counter has two dedicated inputs.

Using the Quadrature Encoder

The Quadrature Encoder is used for determining direction of rotation and

position for rotating, such as a lathe. The Bidirectional Counter counts the
rotation of the Quadrature Encoder.

The figure below shows a quadrature encoder connected to inputs 0, 1, and 2.

The count direction is determined by the phase angle between A and B. If A leads
B, the counter increments. If B leads A, the counter decrements.

The counter can be reset using the Z input. The Z outputs from the encoders
typically provide one pulse per revolution.

Description Data Format User Program Access
HSCAPP.HPSetting long word (32-bit INT) read/write

The HSCAPP.HPSetting is the upper setpoint (in counts) that defines when the
HSC sub-system generates an interrupt.

The data loaded into the high preset must be less than or equal to the data
resident in the overflow (HSCAPP.OFSetting) parameter or an HSC error is
generated.

Low Preset (HSCAPP.LPSetting)

Description Data Format User Program Access
HSCAPP.LPSetting long word (32-bit INT) read/write

The HSCAPP.LPSetting is the lower setpoint (in counts) that defines when the
HSC sub-system generates an interrupt.

The data loaded into the low preset must be greater than or equal to the data
resident in the underflow (HSCAPP.UFSetting) parameter, or an HSC error is
generated. (If the underflow and low preset values are negative numbers, the low
preset must be a number with a smaller absolute value.)

Overflow Setting (HSCAPP.OFSetting)

Description Data Format Type User Program Access
HSCAPP.OFSetting long word (32-bit INT) control read/write

The HSCAPP.OFSetting defines the upper count limit for the counter. If the
counter’s accumulated value increments past the value specified in this variable,
an overflow interrupt is generated. When the overflow interrupt is generated, the
HSC sub-system rolls the accumulator over to the underflow value and the
counter continues counting from the underflow value (counts are not lost in this
transition). The user can specify any value for the overflow position, provided it is
greater than the underflow value and falls between -2,147,483,648 and
2,147,483,647.

TIP Data loaded into the overflow variable must be greater than or equal
to the data resident in the high preset (HSCAPP.HPSetting) or an HSC
error is generated.

Underflow Setting (HSCAPP.UFSetting)

Description Data Format User Program Access
HSCAPP.UFSetting long word (32-bit INT) read/write

The HSCAPP.UFSetting defines the lower count limit for the counter. If the
counter’s accumulated value decrements past the value specified in this variable,
an underflow interrupt is generated. When the underflow interrupt is generated,
the HSC sub-system resets the accumulated value to the overflow value and the
counter then begins counting from the overflow value (counts are not lost in this
transition). The user can specify any value for the underflow position, provided it
is less than the overflow value and falls between -2,147,483,648 and
2,147,483,647.

TIP Data loaded into the underflow variable must be less than or equal to
the data resident in the low preset (HSCAPP.LPSetting) or an HSC error
is generated.

Output Mask Bits (HSCAPP.OutputMask)

Description Data Format User Program Access
HSCAPP.OutputMask word (32-bit binary) read/write

The HSCAPP.OutputMask defines which embedded outputs on the controller

can be directly controlled by the high-speed counter. The HSC sub-system has
the ability to directly (without control program interaction) turn outputs ON or
OFF based on the HSC accumulator reaching the High or Low presets. The bit
pattern stored in the HSCAPP.OutputMask variable defines which outputs are
controlled by the HSC and which outputs are not controlled by the HSC.

For example, if the user wants to control outputs 0, 1, 3, using HSC then the user
needs to assign,
HscAppData.OutputMask = 2#1011
(OR using Decimal Value: HscAppData.OutputMask = 11)

The bit pattern of the HSCAPP.OutputMask variable directly corresponds to the

output bits on the controller. Bits that are set (1) are enabled and can be turned
on or off by the HSC sub-system. Bits that are clear (0) cannot be turned on or
off by the HSC sub-system. The mask bit pattern can be configured only during
initial setup.

The following table shows example of how HPOutput and OutputMask controls
Embedded output.

(48-point)

The outputs shown in the black boxes are the outputs under the control of the
HSC sub-system. The mask defines which outputs can be controlled. The high
preset output or low preset output values (HSCAPP.HPOutput or
HSCAPP.LPOutput) define if each output is either ON (1) or OFF (0).
Another way to view this is that the high or low preset output is written through
the output mask, with the output mask acting like a filter.

The bits in the gray boxes are unused. For the 10-point controller, the first 4 bits
of the mask word are used and the remaining mask bits are not functional because
they do not correlate to any physical outputs on the base unit. For the 16, 24 and
48-point controllers, the first 6, 10 and 20 bits of the mask word are used,
respectively.

The mask bit pattern can be configured only during initial setup.

HSC Commands (HScCmd)

HscCmd is an input parameter with data type USINT. All HSC commands
(1…4) are Level commands. Users are advised to disable the instruction before
updating the command.

HscCmd = 1 starts the HSC mechanism. Once the HSC is in running mode, the
HscCmd = 2 must be issued to stop counting. Setting the Enable input
parameter to False does not stop counting while in running mode.

HscCmd = 3 reloads the following parameter values: HighPreset, LowPreset,

OverFlow, UnderFlow, HighPreset Output, and LowPreset Output.

The parameter values shown in the Variable Monitor may not match the values in
the Hardware. Command 3 must be executed to load the values from the
variables to the hardware without stopping the HSC.

If the HSC Enable is True, HscCmd = 3 will continuously load the parameters.

HscCmd = 4 (reset) sets the Acc value to the HSC AppData.Accumalator value.
The HscCmd =4 does not stop HSC counting. If HSC is counting when the
HscCmd =4 is issued, some counting may be lost.

To reset the Acc value and then continue the counting, trigger the HscCmd =4

Programmable Limit Switch The Programmable Limit Switch function allows you to configure the
High-Speed Counter to operate as a PLS (programmable limit switch) or rotary
(PLS) Function cam switch.

When PLS operation is enabled (HSCAPP.PLSEnable = True), the HSC

(High-Speed Counter) uses PLS data for limit/cam positions. Each limit/cam
position has corresponding data parameters that are used to set or clear physical
outputs on the controller’s base unit. The PLS data block is illustrated below.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 159

Chapter 8 Use the High-Speed Counter and Programmable Limit Switch

IMPORTANT The PLS Function only operates in tandem with the HSC of a Micro830
controller. To use the PLS function, an HSC must first be configured.

PLS Data structure

The Programmable Limit Switch function is an additional set of operating modes
for the High Speed Counter. When operating in these modes, the preset and
output data values are updated using user supplied data each time one of the
presets is reached. These modes are programmed by providing a PLS data block
that contains the data sets to be used.

PLS data structure is a flexible array, with each element defined as follows,
Element Order Data Type Element Description
Word 0…1 DINT High preset setting
Word 2…3 DINT Low preset setting
Word 4…5 UDINT High preset Output data
Word 6…7 UDINT Low preset Output data

The total number of elements for one PLS data cannot be larger than 255.

When PLS is not enabled, PLS data are still required to be defined, but can be
not initialized.

PLS Operation
When the PLS function is enabled, and the controller is in the run mode, the
HSC counts incoming pulses. When the count reaches the first preset (HSCHP
or HSCLP) defined in the PLS data, the output source data (HSCHPOutput or
HSCLPOutput) is written through the HSC mask (HSCAPP.OutputMask).

160 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Use the High-Speed Counter and Programmable Limit Switch Chapter 8

At that point, the next presets (HSCHP and HSCLP) defined in the PLS data
become active.

When the HSC counts to that new preset, the new output data is written
through the HSC mask. This process continues until the last element within the
PLS data block is loaded. At that point the active element within the PLS data
block is reset to zero. This behavior is referred to as circular operation.

TIP The HSCHPOutput is only written when HSCHP is reached. The

HSCLPOutput is written when HSCLP is reached.

TIP Output High Data is only operational when the counter is counting up.
Output Low Data is only operational when the counter is counting
down.

If invalid data is loaded during operation, an HSC error is generated and causes a
controller fault.

You can use the PLS in Up (high), Down (low), or both directions. If your
application only counts in one direction, ignore the other parameters.

The PLS function can operate with all of the other HSC capabilities. The ability
to select which HSC events generate a user interrupt are not limited.

PLS Operation for This Example

When the ladder logic first runs, HSCSTS.Accumulator = 1, therefore all the
outputs are turned off. The value of HSCSTS.HP = 250

When HSCSTS.Accumulator = 250, the HSC_PLS[1].HscHPOutput is sent

through the HSCAPP.OutputMask and energizes the outputs 0 and 1.

This will repeat as the HSCSTS.Accumulator reaches 500, 750, and 1000. The
controller energizes outputs 0...2, 0...3, and 0...4 respectively. Once completed,
the cycle resets and repeats from HSCSTS.HP = 250.

HSC Interrupts An interrupt is an event that causes the controller to suspend the task it is
currently performing, perform a different task, and then return to the suspended
task at the point where it suspended. Micro800 supports up to six HSC
interrupts.

 Chapter 9

Controller Security

Micro800 security generally has two components:

• Exclusive Access which prevents simultaneous configuration of the
controller by two users
• Controller Password Protection which secures the Intellectual Property
contained within the controller and prevents unauthorized access

Exclusive Access Exclusive access is enforced on the Micro800 controller regardless of whether the
controller is password-protected or not. This means that only one Connected
Components Workbench session is authorized at one time and only an
authorized client has exclusive access to the controller application. This ensures
that only one software session has exclusive access to the Micro800
application-specific configuration.

Exclusive access is enforced on Micro800 firmware revision 1 and 2. When a

Connected Components Workbench user connects to a Micro800 controller, the
controller is given exclusive access to that controller.

Password Protection By setting a password on the controller, a user effectively restricts access to the
programming software connections to the controller to software sessions that can
supply the correct password. Essentially, Connected Components Workbench
operation such as upload and download are prevented if the controller is secured
with a password and the correct password is not provided.

Micro800 controllers with firmware revision 2 and later are shipped with no
password but a password can be set through the Connected Components
Workbench software (revision 2 or later).

In Connected Components Workbench software revision 10 or later, a stronger

password algorithm is introduced to provide better security. To take full
advantage of this enhancement, the Micro800 controller must have firmware
revision 10 or later, and the project must also be version 10 or later.

The controller password is also backed up to the memory backup module (that is,
2080-MEMBAK-RTC2 for Micro830, Micro850 and Micro870;
2080-MEMBAK-RTC for Micro830 and Micro850; 2080-LCD for Micro810;
and microSD card for Micro820 controllers).

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 167

Chapter 9 Controller Security

TIP For instructions on how to set, change, and clear controller passwords,
see Configure Controller Password on page 225.

Compatibility The Controller Password feature is supported on:

• Connected Components Workbench revision 2 and later
• Micro800 controllers with revision 2 firmware

For users with earlier versions of the software and/or hardware, refer to the
compatibility scenarios below.

Connected Components Workbench revision 1 with Micro800 controller

firmware revision 2

Connection to a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 2 using an earlier

version of the Connected Components Workbench software (revision 1) is
possible and connections will be successful. However, the software will not be
able to determine whether the controller is locked or not.

If the controller is not locked, access to the user application will be allowed,
provided the controller is not busy with another session. If the controller is
locked, access to the user application will fail. Users will need to upgrade to
revision 2 of the Connected Components Workbench software.

Connected Components Workbench revision 2 with Micro800 controller

firmware revision 1

Connected Components Workbench revision 2 is capable of "discovering" and

connecting to Micro800 controllers with firmware revision earlier than revision 2
(that is, not supporting the Controller Password feature). However, the
Controller Password feature will not be available to these controllers. The user
will not be able see interfaces associated with the Controller Password feature in
the Connected Components Workbench session.

Users are advised to upgrade the firmware. See Flash Upgrade Your Micro800
Firmware on page 215 for instructions.

ATTENTION: Connected Components Workbench revision 9 or earlier

with Micro800 controller revision 10 or later
If a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 10 or later is locked using the
new password algorithm introduced in Connected Components Workbench
software revision10 or later, it cannot be accessed using Components
Workbench software revision 9 or earlier. Users are advised to upgrade to
the latest version of Connected Components Workbench software.

168 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Controller Security Chapter 9

Work with a Locked The following workflows are supported on compatible Micro800 controllers
(firmware revision 2) and Connected Components Workbench software
Controller revision 2.

Upload from a Password-Protected Controller

1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.

2. In the Project Organizer, expand Catalog by clicking the + sign.
3. Select the target controller.
4. Select Upload.
5. When requested, provide the controller password.

IMPORTANT When using Connected Components Workbench software revision 9

or earlier:
• You cannot upload a revision 10 or later project from the controller.
• You can upload a revision 9 or earlier project from the controller if it
was downloaded to the controller using Connected Components
Workbench software revision 10 or later, but you cannot go online.

Debug a Password-Protected Controller

To debug a locked controller, you have to connect to the controller through the
Connected Components Workbench software and provide the password before
you can proceed to debug.

1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.

2. In the Project Organizer, expand Catalog by clicking the + sign.
3. Select the catalog number of your controller.
4. When requested, provide the controller password.
5. Build and save your project.
6. Debug.

Download to a Password-Protected Controller

Chapter 9 Controller Security

6. Click Download.
7. Click Disconnect.

IMPORTANT If the controller has a password locked revision 10 or later project, you
cannot access the controller using Connected Workbench software
revision 9 or earlier. If you use Connected Components Workbench
software revision 10 or later to download a revision 9 or earlier project,
the password in the controller will be automatically converted to the
old algorithm.

IMPORTANT If the controller has a password locked revision 9 or earlier project and
you use Connected Components Workbench software revision 10 or later,
to download a revision 10 or later project, the password in the controller
will be automatically converted to the new algorithm.

IMPORTANT If communication is lost during the download, repeat the download and
verify that the controller is password protected.

Transfer Controller Program and Password-Protect Receiving

Controller

In this scenario, the user needs to transfer user application from controller1
(locked) to another Micro800 controller with the same catalog number. The
transfer of the user application is done through the Connected Components
Workbench software by uploading from controller1, then changing the target
controller in the Micro800 project, and then downloading to controller2. Finally,
controller2 will be locked.

1. In the Project Organizer, click the Discover icon.

The Browse Connections dialog appears.
2. Select target controller1.
3. When requested, enter the controller password for controller1.
4. Build and save the project.
5. Click Disconnect.
6. Power down controller1.
7. Swap controller1 hardware with controller2 hardware.
8. Power up controller2.
9. Click Connect.
10. Select target controller2.

 Controller Security Chapter 9

Back Up and Restore a Password-Protected Controller

In this workflow, user application will be backed up from a Micro800 controller

that is locked to a memory plug-in device.

1. In the Project Organizer, click the Discover icon.

The Browse Connections dialog appears.
2. Select the target controller.
3. When requested, enter the controller password.
4. Back up controller contents to the memory module.
The project in the memory module is now password locked.
5. Remove the memory module from controller1 and insert into controller2.
6. Restore contents from the memory module to controller2.
This operation succeeds only if:
• the controller has no password – the project can be restored to the
controller by setting the “Load on power up” option for the memory
module to Load Always.
• the controller’s password matches the project’s password.

IMPORTANT Even though the password matches, the restore operation will fail if
either one of the controller or project in the memory module is protected
using the old password algorithm, and the other is protected using the
new password algorithm. You can flash update the controller using the
Reset option to clear the password before restoring the project to
the controller.

Configure Controller To set, change, and clear controller password, see the quickstart instructions
Configure Controller Password on page 225.
Password
IMPORTANT After creating or changing the controller password, you need to power
down the controller in order for the password to be saved.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 171

Chapter 9 Controller Security

Recover from a Lost If the controller is secured with a password and the password has been lost, then it
becomes impossible to access the controller using the Connected Components
Password Workbench software.

To recover, the controller must be set to Program Mode using the keyswitch for
Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers, the 2080-LCD for Micro810
controllers, or the 2080-REMLCD for Micro820 controllers. Then,
ControlFlash can be used to update the controller firmware, which also clears the
controller memory. In Connected Components Workbench software version 10
or later, the Reset option must be selected for the controller memory to be cleared
during the firmware update. If the Upgrade or Downgrade option is selected, the
password is retained.

ATTENTION: The project in the controller will be lost but a new project
can be downloaded.

Using the Memory Module You can use the memory module to download a program into different
controllers. Make sure that the module is compatible with the Micro800
Plug-in controllers. The 2080-MEMBAK-RTC2 module is compatible with Micro 830,
Micro850, and Micro870 controllers. The 2080-MEMBAK-RTC module is
compatible with Micro830 and Micro850 controllers.

Back up the project

To perform a project backup from a controller to the memory module, follow

these steps:

1. Create a new program and choose the desired controller.

The Micro850 controller is used for this example.

Chapter 9 Controller Security

4. Click on Configuration under the MEMBAK-RTC properties and select

“Load Always” or “Load on Memory Error” for the Load on power up
option.

5. Build and Download the project to the controller.

6. While connected to the controller and being in the MEMBAK-RTC
properties, make sure that the controller is changed to Program Mode and
click on “Backup to Memory Module” under Memory Module Settings.
Select Yes to download the program into the Memory Module. A window
should pop up stating that the operation has been completed successfully.

IMPORTANT The Password Mismatch status must be at “False”, this means that the
Controller and Backup project have the same security condition.
If the status is “True” then the Controller will not load from the Memory
module as the security condition is mismatched.

Restore the project

To restore the project from the memory module to the controller, follow these
steps:

1. While connected to the controller and being in the MEMBAK-RTC

properties, make sure that the controller is changed to Program Mode and
click on “Restore from Memory Module” under Memory Module Settings.
Select Yes to download the program into the controller. A window should
pop up stating that the operation has been completed successfully.

Using the memory module to copy a project to multiple controllers

You can use the memory module to download a project to multiple controllers
without connecting them to a PC with Connected Components Workbench
software installed. To do this:

1. Back up a project with “Load Always” option enabled.

2. Remove the module and plug it into a different controller.
3. Cycle the power. Observe the Status LED on the module lights up for a
few seconds while the project is being downloaded from the module to the
controller.
4. When the operation is finished you can unplug the module and leave the
slot empty, or plug in a different MEMBAK-RTC module if you want to
use the RTC functionality.

PTO Output Duty Cycle Error

Turn On/Off time for the Micro830 and Micro850 controllers for the PTO
output port is 0.2 µs and 2.5 µs max, respectively. Duty cycle error is:
Positive error = 2.5 µs * F
Negative error = -0.2 µs * F

The plot below shows duty cycle error vs. frequency.

To get the duty cycle error at a certain frequency, for example, the user sets
frequency to 20 kHz, and sets duty cycle to 30% in Connected Components
Workbench, then actual duty cycle is
+5%
30% -0.4%.

Modbus Mapping for Micro800

Modbus Mapping All Micro800 controllers (except the Micro810 12-point models) support
Modbus RTU over a serial port through the embedded, non-isolated serial port.
The 2080-SERIALISOL isolated serial port plug-in module also supports
Modbus RTU. Both Modbus RTU master and slave are supported. Although
performance may be affected by the program scan time, the 48-point controllers
can support up to six serial ports (one embedded and five plug-ins), and so
consequently, six separate Modbus networks.

In addition, the Micro850 and Micro870 controller supports Modbus TCP

Client/Server through the Ethernet port.

Endian Configuration

Modbus protocol is big-endian in that the most significant byte of a 16-bit word
is transmitted first. Micro800 is also big-endian, so byte ordering does not have to
be reversed. For Micro800 data types larger than 16-bits (for example, DINT,
LINT, REAL, LREAL), multiple Modbus addresses may be required but the
most significant byte is always first.

Mapping Address Space and supported Data Types

Since Micro800 uses symbolic variable names instead of physical memory

addresses, a mapping from symbolic Variable name to physical Modbus
addressing is supported in Connected Components Workbench software, for
example, InputSensorA is mapped to Modbus address 100001.

By default Micro800 follows the six-digit addressing specified in the latest

Modbus specification. For convenience, conceptually the Modbus address is
mapped with the following address ranges. The Connected Components
Workbench mapping screen follows this convention.

LINT Y 64 Y 64 Y 4 Y 4
LREAL Y 64 Y 64 Y 4 Y 4

NOTE: Strings are not supported.

In order to make it easier to map variables to five-digit Modbus addresses, the

Connected Components Workbench mapping tool checks the number of
characters entered for the Modbus Address. If only five-digits are entered, the
address is treated as a five-digit Modbus address. This means that the Coils are
mapped from 00001…09999, Discrete Inputs are mapped from 10001…19999,
Input Registers are mapped from 30001…39999, and Holding Registers are
mapping from 40001…49999.

Example 1, PanelView Component HMI (Master) to Micro800

(Slave)
The embedded serial port is targeted for use with HMIs using Modbus RTU. The
maximum recommended cable distance is 3 meters. Use the 2080-SERIALISOL
serial port plug-in module if longer distances or more noise immunity is needed.

The HMI is typically configured for Master and the Micro800 embedded serial
port is configured for Slave.

From the default Communications Settings for a PanelView Component HMI

(PVC), there are three items that must be checked or modified in order to set up
communications from PVC to Micro800.

1. Change from DF1 to Modbus protocol.

2. Set the Address of Micro800 slave to match the serial port configuration
for the controller.

3. Deactivate Tags on Error. This is to prevent the requirement of power

cycling PVC when new Modbus Mappings are downloaded from
Connected Components Workbench to Micro800 controller.

Appendix B Modbus Mapping for Micro800

Modbus devices can be 0-based (registers are numbered starting at 0), or 1-based
(registers are numbered starting at 1). When PowerFlex 4-Class drives are used
with Micro800 family controllers, the register addresses listed in the PowerFlex
User Manuals need to be offset by n+1.

For example, the Logic Command word is located at address 8192, but your
Micro800 program needs to use 8193 (8192+1) to access it.

Modbus Address (n+1 value shown)

8193 Logic Command word (Stop, Start, Jog, etc.)
8194 Speed Reference word
xxx.x format for 4/4M/40, where "123" = 12.3 Hz
xxx.xx format for 40P/400/400N/400P, where "123" = 1.23 Hz
8449 Logic Status word (Read, Active, Fault, and so on.)
8452 Speed Feedback word (uses same format as Speed Reference)
8450 Error Code word
(n+1) To access Parameter 'n'

TIP • If the respective PowerFlex drive supports Modbus Function Code 16 Preset
(Write) Multiple Registers, use a single write message with a length of "2" to
write the Logic Command (8193) and Speed reference (8194) at the same time.
• Use a single Function Code 03 Read Holding Registers with a length of "4" to read
the Logic status (8449), Error Code (8450), and Speed Feedback (8452) at the same
time.

Refer to the respective PowerFlex 4-Class drive User Manual for additional
information about Modbus addressing. (See Appendix E – Modbus RTU
Protocol, on publication 22C-UM001G).

Performance

The performance of MSG_MODBUS (Micro800 is master) is affected by the

Program Scan because messages are serviced when the message instruction is
executed in a program. For example, if the program scan is 100 ms and six serial
ports are used, then the theoretical maximum for serial ports is 60 messages/
second total. This theoretical maximum may not be possible since
MSG_MODBUS is a master/slave request/response protocol, so performance is
affected by several variables such as message size, baud rate, and slave response
time.

The performance of Micro800 when receiving Modbus request messages

(Micro800 is slave) is also affected by the Program Scan. Each serial port is
serviced only once per program scan.

Flash Upgrade Your This quick start will show you how to flash update the firmware for a Micro800
controller using Connected Components Workbench software release 10 or later.
Micro800 Firmware
From Connected Components Workbench software release 10 onwards, there
are two options you can select when flash updating the firmware:
• Upgrade or Downgrade – This option retains the controller’s existing
configuration, Ethernet settings, and password.
• Reset – This option clears the controller’s existing configuration, Ethernet
settings, and password.

The procedure to flash update the controller is similar for both options.

ATTENTION: Retention of the controller’s existing configuration,

Ethernet settings, and password is only available when flash updating
from firmware revision 10 to the same or later revision. If updating
from firmware revision 10 to 9 or earlier, or updating to firmware
revision 10 from an earlier revision, the controller’s existing
configuration, Ethernet settings, and password will be cleared.

IMPORTANT If you have forgotten the password for the controller, use the Reset
option to clear the password.

Use the High Speed Counter To use HSC, you first need to establish the HSC counting mode required by
your application. See HSC Mode (HSCAPP.HSCMode) on page 140 for
available modes on Micro800 controllers.

The following sample project guides you through the creation of a project which
uses HSC mode 6, a quadrature counter with phased inputs A and B. It shows
you how to write a simple ladder program with the HSC function block, create
variables, and assign variables and values to your function block. You will also be
guided through a step-by-step process on how test your program, and enable a
Programmable Light Switch (PLS).

This sample project makes use of a quadrature encoder. The quadrature encoder
is used for determining direction of rotation and position for rotating, such as a
lathe. The Bidirectional Counter counts the rotation of the Quadrature Encoder.

The figure below shows a quadrature encoder connected to inputs 0 and 1. The
count direction is determined by the phase angle between A and B. If A leads B,
the counter increments. If B leads A, the counter decrements.

Assign Values to the HSC Variables

Next, you need to assign values to the variables you have just created. Typically, a
routine is used to assign values to your variables. For illustration purposes, this
quickstart assigns values through the Initial Value column of the Local Variables
table.

TIP In a real program, you should write a routine to assign values to your
variable according to your application.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 233

Appendix C Quickstarts

1. On the Initial Value field for the MyCommand variable, type 1.

See HSC Commands (HScCmd) on page 157 for more information on
the description for each value.
2. Assign values to the MyAppData variables. Expand the list of MyAppData
sub-variables clicking the + sign. Set the values of the different sub-
variables as shown in the following screenshot.

IMPORTANT MyAppData variable has sub-variables which determine the settings of

the counter. It is crucial to know each one in order to determine how the
counter will perform. A quick summary is provided below but you can
also see HSC APP Data Structure on page 139 for detailed information.

MyAppData.PlsEnable allows the user to either enable or disable the PLS

settings. It should be set to FALSE (disabled) if the MyAppData variable is
to be used.

MyAppData.HscID allows the user to specify which embedded inputs

will be used depending on the mode and the type of application. See the
table HSC Inputs and Wiring Mapping on page 135 to know the different
IDs that can be used as well as the embedded inputs and its characteristics.

If ID 0 is used, ID 1 cannot be used on the same controller since the inputs

are being used by the Reset and Hold.

MyAppData.HscMode allows the user to specify the type of operation in

which the HSC will use to count. See HSC Mode (HSCAPP.HSCMode)
on page 140 for more information about HSC modes. You can also quickly
refer to the table below for the list of ten available modes.

234 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Quickstarts Appendix C

HSC Operating Modes

Mode Type
Number
0 Up Counter – The accumulator is immediately cleared (0) when it reaches the high
preset. A low preset cannot be defined in this mode.
1 Up Counter with external reset and hold – The accumulator is immediately cleared (0)
when it reaches the high preset. A low preset cannot be defined in this mode.
2 Counter with external direction
3 Counter with external direction, reset, and hold
4 Two input counter (up and down)
5 Two input counter (up and down) with external reset and hold
6 Quadrature counter (phased inputs A and B)
7 Quadrature counter (phased inputs A and B) with external reset and hold
8 Quadrature X4 counter (phased inputs A and B)
9 Quadrature X4 counter (phased inputs A and B) with external reset and hold

Modes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 will only work when an ID of 0, 2, or 4 is set due to

the fact that these modes use reset and hold. Modes 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 will
work on any ID. Modes 6…9 will only work when an encoder is connected
to the controller. Use the HSC ID chart as a reference to wire the encoder
to the controller.

MyAppData.HPSetting, MyAppData.LPSetting,
MyAppData.OFSetting, and MyAppData.UFSetting are all user-
defined variables which represent the counting range of the HSC. The
diagram below gives an example of a range of values that can be set for
these variables.

Variable

HscAppData.OFSetting Overflow +2,147,483,647 maximum

HscAppData.HPSetting High Preset

HscAppData.LPSetting Low Preset

Underflow -2,147,483,648 minimum

HscAppData.UFSetting

MyAppData.OutputMask along with MyAppData.HPOutput and

MyAppData.LPOutput allows the user to specify which embedded
outputs can be turned on when a High Preset or Low Preset is reached.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 235

Appendix C Quickstarts

These variables use a combination of decimals and binary numbers to

specify the embedded outputs that are able to turn on/off.

Thus, in our example, we first set the Output Mask to a decimal value of 3
which, when converted to binary, is equal to 0011. This means that now
outputs O0 and O1 can be turned On/Off.

We have set the HPOutput to a decimal value of 1, which, when converted

to binary, is equal to 0001. This means that when a High Preset is reached,
output O0 will turn on and stay on until the HSC is reset or the counter
counts back down to a Low Preset. The LPOutput works same way as the
HPOutput except an output will be turned on when a Low Preset is
reached.

Assign Variables to the Function Block

1. Go back to the ladder diagram and assign the variables you have just
configured to the corresponding elements of the HSC function block. The
HSC function block should appear as shown in the screenshot:

To assign a variable to a particular element in your function block, double

click the empty variable block. On the Variable selector that appears,
choose the variable you have just created. (For example, for the input
element HSCAppData, select the variable MyAppData.)

236 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Quickstarts Appendix C

2. Next, click the Micro830 controller under the Project Organizer pane to
bring up the Micro830 Controller Properties pane. Under Controller
Properties, click Embedded I/O. Set the input filters to a correct value
depending on the characteristics of your encoder.

3. Make sure that your encoder is connected to the Micro830 controller.

4. Power up the Micro830 controller and connect it to your PC. Build the
program in Connected Components Workbench and download it to the
controller.

Run the High Speed Counter

1. To test the program, go into debug mode by doing any of the following:
• Click Debug menu, then choose Start Debugging,
• Click the green play button below the menu bar, or
• Hit the F5 windows key.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 237

Appendix C Quickstarts

Now that we are on debug mode we can see the values of the HSC output.
The HSC function block has two outputs, one is the STS (MyStatus) and
the other is the HSCSTS (MyInfo).
2. Double-click the Direct Contact labeled _IO_EM_DI_05 to bring up the
Variable Monitoring window.
3. Click the I/O Micro830 tab. Select the _IO_EM_DI_05 row. Check the
boxes Lock and Logical Value so that this input will be forced in the ON
position.

4. Click the Local Variables tab to see any real time changes being made to the
variables. Expand the MyAppData and MyInfo variable list by clicking the
+ sign.
5. Turn On the encoder to see the counter count up/down. For example, if
the encoder is attached to a motor shaft then turn on the motor to trigger
the HSC count. The counter value will be displayed on
MyInfo.Accumulator. MyStatus variable should display a Logical Value of
1, which means that the HSC is running.

TIP See HSC Function Block Status Codes on page 158 for the complete list
of status codes. For example, if the MyStatus value is 04, a configuration
error exists and the controller will fault. You need to check your
parameters in this case.

238 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 Quickstarts Appendix C

For this example, once the Accumulator reaches a High Preset value of 40, output
0 turns on and the HPReached flag turns on. Once the Accumulator reaches a
Low Preset value of -40, output 1 turns on and the LPReached flag turns on as
well.

Use the Programmable Limit Switch (PLS) Function

The Programmable Limit Switch function allows you to configure the High-
Speed Counter to operate as a PLS (programmable limit switch) or rotary cam
switch. The PLS is used when you need more than one pair of high and low
presets (up to 255 pairs of high and low presets are supported by the PLS).

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 239

Appendix C Quickstarts

1. Start a new project following the same steps and values as the previous
project. Set the values for the following variables as follows:
• HSCAPP.PlsEnable variable should be set to TRUE
• Set a value only for UFSetting and OFSetting (OutputMask is optional
depending if an output is to be set or not). Your new values should
follow the example below:

In this example, the PLS variable is given a dimension of [1..4]. This means
that the HSC can have four pairs of High and Low Presets.

Once again, your High Presets should be set lower than the OFSetting and
the Low Preset should be greater than the UFSetting. The HscHPOutPut
and HscLPOutPut values will determine which outputs will be turned on
when a High Preset or Low Preset is reached.
2. You can now build and download the program into the controller then
debug and test it following the instructions for the last project.

Forcing I/Os Inputs are logically forced. LED status indicators do not show forced values, but
the inputs in the user program are forced.

Forcing is only possible with I/O and does not apply to user defined variables and
non-I/O variables, and special functions such as HSC and Motion which execute
independently from the User Program scan. For example, for motion, Drive
Ready input cannot be forced.

Unlike inputs, outputs are physically forced. LED status indicators do show
forced values and the user program does not use forced values.

The following diagram illustrates forcing behavior.

• LED status indicators always match the physical value of I/O

• Normal, non-physical internal variables cannot be forced
• Special functions such as HSC and Motion cannot be forced

ATTENTION: Forcing variable can result in sudden

machine movement, possibly injuring personnel or
equipment. Use extreme caution when forcing variables.

Checking if Forces (locks) are Enabled

If Connected Components Workbench is available, check the Variable Monitor

while debugging online. Forcing is performed by first Locking an I/O variable
and then setting the Logical Value for Inputs and Physical Value for Outputs.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 241

Appendix C Quickstarts

Remember you cannot force a Physical Input and cannot force a Logical Output.

In many cases, the front of the controller is not visible to the operator and
Connected Components Workbench is not online with the controller. If you
want the force status to be visible to the operator, then the User Program must
read the force status using the SYS_INFO function block and then display the
force status on something that the operator can see, such as the human machine
interface (HMI), or stack light. The following is an example program in
Structured Text.

If the front of the controller is visible, and not blocked by the cabinet enclosure,
Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers have a Force LED indicator.

I/O Forces After a Power Cycle

After a controller is power cycled, all I/O forces are cleared from memory.

User Interrupts

Interrupts allow you to interrupt your program based on defined events. This
chapter contains information about using interrupts, the interrupt instructions,
and interrupt configuration. The chapter covers the following topics:

Topic Page
Information About Using Interrupts 251
User Interrupt Instructions 255
Using the Selectable Timed Interrupt (STI) Function 261
Selectable Time Interrupt (STI) Function Configuration and Status 262
Using the Event Input Interrupt (EII) Function 264

For more information on HSC Interrupt, see Use the High-Speed Counter and
Programmable Limit Switch on page 133.

Information About Using The purpose of this section is to explain some fundamental properties of the User
Interrupts, including:
Interrupts
• What is an interrupt?
• When can the controller operation be interrupted?
• Priority of User Interrupts
• Interrupt Configuration
• User Fault Routine

What is an Interrupt?
An interrupt is an event that causes the controller to suspend the Program
Organization Unit (POU) it is currently performing, perform a different POU,
and then return to the suspended POU at the point where it suspended. The
Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers support the following User
Interrupts:
• User Fault Routine
• Event Interrupts (8)
• High-Speed Counter Interrupts (6)
• Selectable Timed Interrupts (4)
• Plug-in Module Interrupts (5)

Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018 251

Appendix D User Interrupts

An interrupt must be configured and enabled to execute. When any one of the
interrupts is configured (and enabled) and subsequently occurs, the user
program:

1. suspends its execution of the current POU,

2. performs a predefined POU based upon which interrupt occurred, and
3. returns to the suspended operation.
Interrupt Operation Example
POU 2 is the main control program. POU 2
POU 10 is the interrupt routine.
• An Interrupt Event occurs at rung rung 0
POU 10
123.
• POU 10 is executed.
rung 123
• POU 2 execution resumes
immediately after POU 10 is
scanned.

rung 275

Specifically, if the controller program is executing normally and an interrupt

event occurs:

1. the controller stops its normal execution.

2. determines which interrupt occurred.
3. goes immediately to the beginning of the POU specified for that User
Interrupt.
4. begins executing the User Interrupt POU (or set of POU/function blocks
if the specified POU calls a subsequent function block).
5. completes the POU.
6. resumes normal execution from the point where the controller program
was interrupted

When Can the Controller Operation be Interrupted?

The Micro830 controllers allow interrupts to be serviced at any point of a
program scan. Use UID/ UIE instructions to protect program block which
should not be interrupted.

Priority of User Interrupts

When multiple interrupts occur, the interrupts are serviced based upon their
individual priority.

252 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 User Interrupts Appendix D

When an interrupt occurs and another interrupt(s) has already occurred but has
not been serviced, the new interrupt is scheduled for execution based on its
priority relative to the other pending interrupts. At the next point in time when
an interrupt can be serviced, all the interrupts are executed in the sequence of
highest priority to lowest priority.

If an interrupt occurs while a lower priority interrupt is being serviced (executed),

the currently executing interrupt routine is suspended, and the higher priority
interrupt is serviced. Then the lower priority interrupt is allowed to complete
before returning to normal processing.

If an interrupt occurs while a higher priority interrupt is being serviced

(executed), and the pending bit has been set for the lower priority interrupt, the
currently executing interrupt routine continues to completion. Then the lower
priority interrupt runs before returning to normal processing.

The priorities from highest to lowest are:

User Fault Routine highest priority
Event Interrupt0
Event Interrupt1

Event Interrupt2

Event Interrupt3

High-Speed Counter Interrupt0

Appendix D User Interrupts

User Interrupt Configuration

User interrupts can be configured and set as AutoStart from the Interrupts
window.

User Fault Routine

The user fault routine gives you the option of doing the cleanup before a
controller shutdown, when a specific user fault occurs. The fault routine is
executed when any user fault occurs. The fault routine is not executed for
non-user faults.

The controller goes to Fault mode after a User Fault Routine is executed, and the
User Program execution stops.

Creating a User Fault Subroutine

To use the user fault subroutine:

1. Create a POU.

254 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 User Interrupts Appendix D

2. In the User Interrupt Configuration window, configure this POU as a User

Fault routine.

STIS Parameters
Parameter Parameter Data Parameter Description
Type Type
Enable Input BOOL Enable Function.
When Enable = TRUE, function is performed.
When Enable = FALSE, function is not performed.
IRQType Input UDINT Use the STI defined DWORD
IRQ_STI0, IRQ_STI1, IRQ_STI2, IRQ_STI3
SetPoint Input UINT The user timer interrupt interval time value in
milliseconds.
When SetPoint = 0, STI is disabled.
When SetPoint = 1…65535, STI is enabled.
STIS or ENO Output BOOL Rung Status (same as Enable)

The STIS instruction can be used to start and stop the STI function or to change
the time interval between STI user interrupts. The STI instruction has two
operands:
• IRQType — This is the STI ID that a user wants to drive.
• SetPoint — This is the amount of time (in milliseconds) which must
expire prior to executing the selectable timed user interrupt. A value of zero
disables the STI function. The time range is from 0…65,535 milliseconds.
The STIS instruction applies the specified set point to the STI function as
follows (STI0 is used here as an example):
• If a zero set point is specified, the STI is disabled and STI0.Enable is
cleared (0).
• If the STI is disabled (not timing) and a value greater than 0 is entered into
the set point, the STI starts timing to the new set point and STI0.Enable is
set (1).
• If the STI is currently timing and the set point is changed, the new setting
takes effect immediately, restarting from zero. The STI continues to time
until it reaches the new set point.

Using the Selectable Timed Configure the STI function from the Interrupt Configuration window.
Interrupt (STI) Function

The Selectable Timed Interrupt (STI) provides a mechanism to solve time critical
control requirements. The STI is a trigger mechanism that allows you to scan or
solve control program logic that is time sensitive.

Example of where you would use the STI are:

· PID type applications, where a calculation must be performed at a specific
time interval.
· A block of logic that needs to be scanned more often.

How an STI is used is typically driven by the demands/requirements of the

application. It operates using the following sequence:

1. The user selects a time interval.

2. When a valid interval is set and the STI is properly configured, the
controller monitors the STI value.
3. When the time period has elapsed, the controller’s normal operation is
interrupted.
4. The controller then scans the logic in the STI POU.
5. When the STI POU is completed, the controller returns to where it was
prior to the interrupt and continues normal operation.

Error codes This section lists possible error codes for your controller, as well as recommended
actions for recovery. Information about the fault is stored in a fault log, which can
be accessed from the Diagnostics page in Connected Components Workbench
software. The fault log contains brief information about the last fault, and
detailed information about the last 10 non-recoverable faults that occurred.

If an error persists after performing the recommended action, contact your local
Rockwell Automation technical support representative. For contact information,
go to
http://support.rockwellautomation.com/MySupport.asp

Fault Types

There are two basic types of faults that can occur:

• Recoverable – A recoverable fault can be cleared without having to power
cycle the controller. The fault LED flashes red when a recoverable fault
occurs.
• Non-recoverable – A non-recoverable fault requires the controller to be
power cycled before clearing the fault. Non-recoverable controller faults
may become recoverable after the controller has been power cycled, or an
automatic reset is performed by the controller. If the controller performs an
automatic reset and the fault becomes recoverable, the fault will not be
logged. After the controller has been power cycled or reset, check the fault
log in the Diagnostic page of the Connected Components Workbench
software, then clear the fault. The fault LED is solid red when a non-
recoverable fault occurs.

DirectActing BOOL Types of acting:
TRUE = Direct acting, output moves same direction as error. That is,
the actual process value is greater than the SetPoint and the
appropriate controller action is to increase the output. For example,
Chilling.
FALSE = Reverse acting, output moves opposite direction as error.
That is, the actual process value is greater than the Setpoint and the
appropriate controller action is to decrease the output. For example,
Heating.
ProportionalGain REAL Proportional gain for PID (>= 0.0001).
Proportional gain for PID (P_Gain)
A higher proportional gain causes a larger change in the output
based upon the difference between the PV (measured process value)
and SV (set point value). The higher the gain, the faster the error is
decreased, but this may result in instability such as oscillations. The
lower the gain, the slower the error is decreased, but the system is
more stable and less sensitive to large errors. The P_Gain usually is
the most important gain to adjust and the first gain to adjust while
tuning.

 PID Function Blocks Appendix F

GAIN_PID Data Type

Parameter Type Description
TimeIntegral REAL Time integral value for PID (>= 0.0001).
Time integral value for PID
A smaller integral time constant causes a faster change in the output
based upon the difference between the PV (measured process value)
and SV (set point value) integrated over this time. A smaller integral
time constant decreases the steady state error (error when SV is not
being changed) but increases the chances of instability such as
oscillations. A larger integral time constant slows down the response
of the system and make it more stable, but PV approaches the SV at a
slower rate.
TimeDerivative REAL Time derivative value for PID (> 0.0).
Time derivative value for PID (Td)
A smaller derivative time constant causes a faster change in the
output based upon the rate of change of the difference between PV
(measured process value) and SV (set point value). A smaller
derivative time constant makes a system more responsive to sudden
changes in error (SV is changed) but increases the chances of
instability such as oscillations. A larger time constant makes a
system less responsive to sudden changes in error and the system is
less susceptible to noise and step changes in PV. TimeDerivative (Td)
is related to the derivative gain but allows the derivative contribution
to PID to be tuned using time so the sample time must be taken into
consideration.
DerivativeGain REAL Derivative gain for PID (>= 0.0).
Derivative gain for PID (D_Gain)
A higher derivative gain causes a larger change in the output based
upon the rate of change of the difference between the PV (measured
process value) and SV (set point value). A higher gain makes a system
more responsive to sudden changes in error but increases the
chances of instability such as oscillations. A lower gain makes a
system less responsive to sudden changes in error and makes the
system less susceptible to noise and step changes in the PV.
If derivative gain is set to zero, it disables the derivative
portion of the PID.

AT_Param Data Type

Parameter Type Description
Load REAL Load parameter for auto tuning. This is the output value when
starting AutoTune.
Deviation REAL Deviation for auto tuning. This is the standard deviation used to
evaluate the noise band needed for AutoTune (noise band = 3*
Deviation)(1)
Step REAL Step value for AutoTune. Must be greater than noise band and less
than ½ load.
ATDynamSet REAL Waiting time in seconds before abandoning auto tune.
ATReset BOOL Determines whether the output value is reset to zero after an
AutoTune sequence:
TRUE = Reset output to zero.
FALSE = Leaves output at Load value.
(1) The application engineer can estimate the value of ATParams.Deviation by observing the value of Proces input.
For example, in a project that involves the control of temperature, if the temperature stabilizes around 22 °C,
and a fluctuation of 21.7…22.5 °C is observed, the value of ATParams.Deviation will be (22.5-21.7)/2=0.4.

Appendix F PID Function Blocks

How to Autotune Before you autotune, you need to:

• Verify that your system is constant when there is no control. For example,
for temperature control, process value should remain at room temperature
when there is no control output.
• Configure the set point to 0.
• Set Auto Input to False.
• Set the Gain parameter as follows:
GAIN Parameter Values
GAIN Parameter Value
DirectActing According to operation:
TRUE (for example, Cooling), or
FALSE (for example, Heating)
DerivativeGain 0.5
ProportionalGain 0.0001
TimeIntegral 0.0001
TimeDerivative 0.0

• Set the AT_Parameter as follows:

AT_Parameter Values
AT Parameter Recommendation
Load Every ‘Load’ provides a saturated process value over a period of time.
Adjust the load to the value for the saturated process value you want.

IMPORTANT: If a load of 40 gives you a process value of 30 °C over a

period of time, and you want to tune your system to 30 °C, you should set
the load to 40.
Deviation This parameter plays a significant role in the autotune process. The
method of deriving this value is explained later in this section. It is not
necessary to set this parameter prior to autotuning. However, if you
already know the deviation, it is fine to set it first.
Step Step value should be between 3*Deviation and ½ load. The step provides
an offset for the load during autotuning. It should be set to a value high
enough to create a significant change in process value.
ATDynamSet Set this value to a reasonably long time for the autotune process. Every
system is different, so allow more time to a system with a process value
that takes longer to react to change.
ATReset Set this parameter to TRUE to reset the output to zero after the autotune
process completes.
Set this parameter to FALSE to leave the output at load value after the
autotune process completes.

During autotune, the controller will automatically set the process value to zero.
To autotune, perform the following steps:

1. Set the Initialize input to TRUE.

2. Set the AutoTune input to TRUE.
3. Wait for the Process input to stabilize or reach a steady state.

288 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 PID Function Blocks Appendix F

4. Note the temperature fluctuation of the process value.

5. Calculate deviation value with reference to the fluctuation. For example, if
the temperature stabilizes around 22 °C (72 °F) with a fluctuation of
21.7…22.5 °C (71…72.5 °F), the value of ‘ATParams.Deviation’ is:

22.5 - 21.7 72.5 - 71

For °C: = 0.4 For °F: = 0.75
2 2

6. Set the deviation value, if you have not set it yet.

7. Change the initialize input to FALSE.
8. Wait until the ‘AT_Warning’ shows 2. The autotune process is successful.
9. Get the tuned value from the ‘OutGains’.

How Autotune Works

The auto tune process begins when the ‘Initialize’ is set to FALSE (Step 7.) At
this moment, the control output increases by the amount of ‘Step’ and the process
waits for the process value to reach or exceeds ‘first peak’.

First peak is defined as:

For Direct Operation: First peak = PV1 - (12 x Deviation)

For Reverse Operation: First peak = PV1 + (12 x Deviation)
Where PV1 is the process value when Initialize is set to FALSE.

Once the process value reaches first peak, the control output reduces by the
amount of Step and waits for the process value to drop to the second peak.

Second peak is defined as:

For Direct Operation: Second peak = PV1 - (3 x Deviation)

For Reverse Operation: Second peak = PV1 + (3 x Deviation)
Once the process value reaches or falls below second peak, calculations
commence and a set of gain will be generated to parameter OutGains.

Appendix F PID Function Blocks

Troubleshooting an You can tell what is going on behind the autotune process from the sequences of
control output. Here are some known sequences of control output and what it
Autotune Process means if autotune fails. For the ease of illustrating the sequence of control output,
we define:
Load: 50
Step: 20
Output Sequence 1: 50 -> 70 -> 30
Sequence Condition Autotune Result Action for Autotune Fail
Process value reached 'first peak' and Likely successful NA
'second' peak in time

Output Sequence 2: 50 -> 70 -> 50

Sequence Condition Autotune Result Action for Autotune Fail
Process value not able to reach Likely unsuccessful Reduce Deviation or Increase Step
'first peak'

Output Sequence 3: 50 -> 70 -> 30 -> 50

Sequence Condition Autotune Result Action for Autotune Fail
Process value not able to reach Likely unsuccessful Increase Deviation or increase Step

Output Sequence 4: 50 -> 70

Sequence Condition Autotune Result Action for Autotune Fail

PID Application Example

Water In

Water Level

Tank Water Out

The illustration above shows a basic water level control system, to maintain a
preset water level in the tank. A solenoid valve is used to control incoming water,
filling the tank at a preset rate. Similarly, outflowing water is controlled at a
measureable rate.

IPID Autotuning for First and Second Order Systems

Autotune of IPID can only work on first and second order systems.

A first order system can be described by a single independent energy storage

element. Examples of first order systems are the cooling of a fluid tank, the flow of
fluid from a tank, a motor with constant torque driving a disk flywheel or an
electric RC lead network. The energy storage element for these systems are heat
energy, potential energy, rotational kinetic energy and capacitive storage energy,
respectively.

This may be written in a standard form such as f(t) = τdy/dt + y(t), where τ is the
system time constant, f is the forcing function and y is the system state variable.

In the cooling of a fluid tank example, it can be modeled by the thermal

capacitance C of the fluid and thermal resistance R of the walls of the tank. The
system time constant will be RC, the forcing function will be the ambient
temperature and the system state variable will be the fluid temperature.

A second order system can be described by two independent energy storage

elements which exchange stored energy. Examples of second order systems are a
motor driving a disk flywheel with the motor coupled to the flywheel via a shaft
with torsional stiffness or an electric circuit composed of a current source driving
a series LR (inductor and resistor) with a shunt C (capacitor). The energy storage
elements for these systems are the rotational kinetic energy and torsion spring
energy for the former and the inductive and capacitive storage energy for the
latter. Motor drive systems and heating systems can be typically modeled by the
LR and C electric circuit.

PID Code Sample

The illustration PID Code Sample shows sample code for controlling the PID
application example shown before. Developed using Function Block Diagrams, it
consists of a pre-defined function block, IPIDCONTROLLER, and four use-
defined function blocks. These four are:
• PID_OutputRegulator
This user-defined function block regulates the output of
IPIDCONTROLLER within a safe range to ensure that there is no
damage to the hardware used in the process.

IF RMIN ≤ RIN ≤ RMAX, then ROUT = RIN,

IF RIN < RMIN, then ROUT = RMIN,
IF RIN > RMAX, then ROUT = RMAX.

• PID_Feedback
This user defined function block acts as a multiplexer.

IF "FB_RST" is false, FB_OUT=FB_IN;

If "FB_RST" is true, then FB_OUT=FB_PREVAL.

• PID_PWM
This user defined function block provides a PWM function, converting a
real value to a time related ON/OFF output.
• SIM_WATERLVL
This user defined function block simulates the process depicted in the
application example shown before.

292 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002J-EN-E - March 2018

 PID Function Blocks Appendix F

IMPORTANT User Program Scan Time is Important

The autotuning method needs to cause the output of the control loop to
oscillate. In order to identify the oscillation period, the IPID must be
called frequently enough to be able to sample the oscillation adequately.
The scan time of the user program must be less than half the oscillation
period. In essence the Shannon, or Nyquist-Shannon, or the sampling
theorem must be adhered to.
In addition, it is important that the function block is executed at a
relatively constant time interval. One can typically achieve this using STI
interrupt.

Calculate Total Power for Your Micro830/Micro850/Micro870

Controller
To calculate Total Power for your Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controller,
use the following formula:

Total Power =Main Unit Power + No. of Plug-ins * Plug-in Power + Sum
of Expansion I/O Power

Example 1:
Derive Total Power for a 24-point Micro830 controller with two plug-ins.

Total Power = 8 W+ 1.44 W * 2 + 0 = 10.88 W

Example 2:
Derive Total Power for a 48-point Micro850 controller, with 3 plug-ins, and
2085-IQ16 and 2085-IF4 expansion I/O modules attached.

Total Power = 11 W + 3*1.44 W + 0.85 W + 1.7 W = 17.87 W

Appendix G System Loading

Calculate External AC Power Supply Loading for your Micro830 Controller

To calculate External AC Power Supply Loading:

• Get total sensor current loading. For this example, assume it is 250 mA.
• Calculate Total Power Loading by Sensor using this formula:
(24V * 250 mA) 6 W.
• Derive External AC Power Supply Loading using this formula:
AC Power Supply Loading = Total Power calculated for a Micro800
system with Plug in + Total power loading by Sensor

As an example, a 48-point Micro850 controller with2 plug-ins, and 2085-IQ16

and 2085-IF4 expansion I/O, and 250mA sensor current (6W sensor power) will
have the following Total Loading for AC Power Supply:

Total loading for AC power supply = 17.87W + 6W = 23.87 W

ATTENTION: Maximum loading to AC Power Supply is limited to 38.4 W

with maximum surrounding ambient temperature limited to 65 °C.
