1 Allen-Bradley RIO Option Card

Overview
The Allen-Bradley RIO option card enables the JAGXTREME terminal to communicate to
Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) through direct connection to the
A-B RIO network. The option consists of a backplane-compatible I/O module and
software that resides in the JAGXTREME terminal, which implements the data exchange.
Refer to the Allen-Bradley
documentation or Allen-Bradley The A-B RIO option has the following features:

Node/Rack Address
Although each RIO option represents one physical node, the addressing of the node is
defined as a logical rack address. This address is chosen by the system designer, then
programmed into the terminal and PLC. The JAGXTREME terminal’s address is
programmed through the Configure Options program block in the setup menu.
The terminal’s setup capabilities allow selection of the logical rack address, starting
quarter, and designation of the last rack. More than one rack quarter may be used if the
terminal’s RIO option is configured to interface with more than one scale, floating point
data, or the optional block transfer data. Since up to four scales may be configured to
interface with one RIO option, it may occupy up to four quarters (a full rack). The
quarters must be contiguous in a single, logical rack, so the starting quarter must be
low enough to accommodate all of the data for the scales in a single, logical rack. The
terminal will determine the number of quarters needed for the number of configured
scales and chosen data format. It only allows selection of the possible starting quarters.

Data Formats
The A-B RIO option card has two types of data exchanges: discrete data and block
transfer data.
Discrete data is continuously available for each of the configured scales. Each scale
selected to pass data through the RIO option has its own logical rack address to send
and receive information to and from the PLC. Discrete data for each scale is always sent
even when the optional block transfer data is used.
Block transfer data is available when the option is enabled through the terminal’s setup
menu. This data is used to pass information that cannot be sent by the discrete data
because of size or process speed limitations. See the Data Definition section for more
information.

Remote Scale Sharing

Using Ethernet, it is possible for terminals to communicate with other terminals and to
share resources. This allows a terminal with the RIO option to collect information from
up to four networked and local scales when using discrete integer, division, or extended
integer data. If floating point data is used, two scales may share the RIO option. If block
transfer data is used, no networked scales may be used but up to two local scales may
share the RIO option no matter what type of discrete data format is selected. The
following charts show possible configurations with and without resource sharing.

Data Definition

Data Definition
The A-B RIO option card uses two types of data for its communication with PLCs:
discrete data and block transfer data. Separate discrete data for each scale is always
available. The data transfer is accomplished via the PLC’s I/O messaging. Block transfer
data is only available if this data option is enabled through the setup menu. If the block
transfer data option is selected, it is provided in addition to the discrete data for each
scale. Block transfer data requires “block transfer” ladder sequence programming to
accomplish the data transfer between the terminal and PLC.

Data Integrity
The JAGXTREME terminal has specific bits to allow the PLC to confirm that data was
received without interrupt and the scale is not in an error condition. It is important to
monitor these bits. Any PLC code should use them to confirm the integrity of the data
received for the scale. Refer to the data charts for specific information regarding the Data
OK, update in progress, data integrity bits and their usage.

Discrete Data
There are four formats of discrete data available with the A-B RIO option card: integer
(wgt), division (div), extended integer (ext), and floating point (flt). Only one type of
data format may be selected and used by scales sharing the same A-B RIO option card.
The integer and division formats allow bi-directional communication of discrete bit
encoded information or 16 bit binary word (signed integer) numerical values.
The extended integer format allows bi-directional communication of discrete bit
encoded information, 21-bit binary word (signed extended integer) numerical read
values or 16-bit binary word (signed integer) numerical write values.
The floating-point format allows bi-directional communication of discrete bit encoded
information or numeric data encoded in IEEE 754, single precision floating point format.
The format of discrete data will affect the amount of rack space required per scale and
the amount used by the RIO option. Integer, division, and extended integer formats
require one-quarter rack per scale (two 16-bit words of input and two 16-bit words of
output data). One scale would use a quarter rack, two scales would use a half rack,
three scales would use three-quarters of a rack, and four scales would use a full rack.
The floating-point format requires more space per scale because floating point data
uses two 16-bit words of data to represent just the numeric data alone. The floating
point format requires one half rack per scale (four 16-bit words of input and four 16-bit
words of output data) in a two-scale system or provides two half-rack sets of data for a
single scale. For both, the RIO option requires the use of a full rack for data when the
floating point format is selected.
Selection of the appropriate format depends on issues such as the range or capacity of
the scale used in the application. The integer format can represent a numerical value up
to 32,767. The division format can represent a value up to 32,767 divisions or
increments. The extended integer can represent a value over 1,000,000. The floating-
point format can represent a value encoded in IEEE 754, single precision floating point
format. Floating point is the only format that includes decimal point information as a
part of its data. All other formats ignore decimal points. Accommodation of decimal
point location must take place in the PLC logic, when it is needed with these formats.

The integer format could not be used because it would send a negative value once the
weight exceeded 32,760.

Ext 0 2100 51607 150000
FLT 0 2.100 51.607 150.000

The integer and division formats could not be used because they would send a negative
value once the weight exceeded 32.767.
There is another requirement for the extended integer format. Since Allen-Bradley PLCs
do not have any mechanism to interpret 21-bit signed integers, a few rungs of ladder
logic are needed to convert the bit data into a floating point value.
Another issue is the type of information communicated between the terminal and PLC for
the application. Because the floating point format has more space for its data, it has
additional information that can be sent or received without using the optional block
transfer data. Please see each formats detailed description of the data available to
determine which is most suitable for the specific application.

Integer, Division, and

Extended Integer
When one of these formats are selected, each scale will have one quarter rack of data:
two 16-bit words for input data and two 16-bit words for output data. The PLC’s input
data will contain one 16-bit word for the scale’s weight information and one 16-bit
word for bit encoded status information. The terminal will send specific data to the PLC
input data based on the data it receives from the PLC’s output data. The PLC’s output
words consist of one 16-bit integer value which may be used to download a tare or
setpoint 1 and one16-bit word for bit encoded command information.
The following charts provide detailed information on the integer (int), division (div), and
the extended integer (ext) data formats. Read data refers to the PLC’s input data and

1- WORD 0 is a 16-bit, signed integer that may represent the scale’s gross, net, tare, rate, setpoint #1, or displayed weight. Three bits, set by the PLC in the output word, designate what
data is sent by the terminal in this word.
2- Bit 15 is set to a 1 when the scale is operating properly (NOT over capacity, under capacity, in power-up, in expanded mode, or in setup mode).The PLC program should continuously
monitor this bit and the PLC processor “rack fault” bit (see A-B PLC documentation) to determine the validity of the discrete and/or block transfer data.
3- Bit 14 is set to a 1 when the JAGXTREME terminal is in the process of updating its data for the PLC scanner. The PLC should ignore ALL of the data in this case and simply re-scan it.
4- Bit 13 is set to a 1 when the scale is in net mode (a tare has been taken).
5- Bit 12 is set to a 1 when the scale is unstable (or in motion).
6- Bits 9, 10, 11 mirror the state of the first three discrete inputs on the JAGXTREME terminal’s controller board (labeled IN1, IN2, and IN3). If the input is ON (input grounded) then the bit is
set to a 1.
7- Bit 8 is set to a 1 when the ESC key is pressed on the keypad of the JAGXTREME terminal with the RIO option card. The bit will be cleared to 0 when the display mode bits (see the output

designate what data is sent by the terminal in these bits. Bit 4 of WORD 1 is the sign bit and bit 15 of WORD 0 becomes part of the weight value.
2- Bit 15 is set to a 1 when the scale is operating properly (NOT over capacity, under capacity, in power-up, in expanded mode, or in diagnostic mode).The PLC program should continuously monitor this bit
and the PLC processor “rack fault” bit (see A-B PLC documentation) to determine the validity of the discrete and/or block transfer data.

1- WORD 0 is a 16-bit, signed integer value that may represent the scale’s tare or setpoint #1 value to be downloaded. Bit 3 or bit 15 are used with this value to instruct the JAGXTREME terminal to load the
value into either the tare or setpoint #1.
2- A transition from 0 to 1 loads the value in WORD 0 into the setpoint 1 value in the JAGXTREME terminal. It will not “use” this value until bit 8 transitions from 0 to 1.
3- Bit 12, bit 13, and bit 14 can be used to control the state of the first three discrete outputs on the JAGXTREME terminal’s controller board. These are labeled OUT1, OUT2, OUT3. Setting the bit to a 1 causes
the output to be turned ON.
4- Bit 9, bit 10, and bit 11 determine what data is displayed in the JAGXTREME terminal’s lower display area. 0 = normal JAGXTREME terminal display mode, 1 = display content of literal 1, 2 = display
content of literal 2, 3 = display content of literal 3, 4 = display content of literal 4, 5 = display content of literal 5, 6 = reserved, 7 = display message from block transfer input data. Pressing ESC also
clears the display to the JAGXTREME terminal’s normal mode. Display literals may be pre-programmed in the JAGXTREME terminal setup through the Configure Memory program block. Literals may also be

6- A transition from 0 to 1 causes a ZERO command.
7- A transition from 0 to 1 causes a PRINT command.
8- A transition from 0 to 1 causes a TARE command.
9- A transition from 0 to 1 causes a CLEAR command.
10- A transition from 0 to 1 loads the value in WORD 0 into the preset tare register.
11-A binary value in bit 0, bit 1, and bit 2 select the data that will be sent by the JAGXTREME terminal in Discrete Read WORD 0. 0 = gross weight, 1 = net weight, 2 = displayed weight, 3 = tare weight, 4 =
setpoint 1,
5 = rate. Any value greater than 5 = gross weight.

Floating Point
Operational Overview
The JAGXTREME terminal uses integer commands from the PLC to select the floating
point weight output data. The terminal recognizes a command when it sees a new value
in the scale’s command word. If the command has an associated floating point value
(for example: loading a setpoint value), it must be loaded into the floating point value
words before the command is issued. Once the terminal recognizes a command, it
acknowledges the command by setting a new value in the command acknowledge bits
of the scale’s command response word. It also tells the PLC what floating point value is
being sent (via the floating point input indicator bits of the command response word).
The PLC waits until it receives the command acknowledgment from the terminal before
sending another command.
The terminal has two types of values that it can report to the PLC: real-time and static.
When the PLC requests a real-time value, the terminal acknowledges the command
from the PLC once but sends and updates the value at every A/D update. If the PLC
requests a static value, the terminal acknowledges the command from the PLC once
and updates the value once. The terminal will continue to send this value until it
receives a new command from the PLC. Gross weight, net weight, and rate are
examples of real-time data. Tare weight, setpoint cutoff, dribble, and tolerance values
are examples of static data.
The terminal can send a rotation of up to nine different real-time values for each scale.
The PLC sends commands to the terminal to add a value to the rotation. Once the
rotation is established, the PLC must instruct the terminal to begin its rotation
automatically, or the PLC may control the pace of rotation by instructing the terminal to
advance to the next value. If the terminal is asked to automatically alternate its output
data, it will switch to the next value in its rotation at the next A/D update. (The A/D
update rate depends on the scale type. An analog scale has an update rate of 17 Hz or
58 milliseconds.)
The PLC may control the rotation by sending alternate report next field commands (1
and 2). When the PLC changes to the next command, the terminal switches to the next
value in the rotation. The terminal stores the rotation in its shared data so the rotation
does not have to be re-initialized after each power cycle. When the PLC does not set up
an input rotation, the default input rotation consists of gross weight only. See the
floating-point rotation examples for additional information.
The following charts provide detailed information on the floating-point data format. Read
data refers to the PLC’s input data and write data refers to the PLC’s output data.

1- The Command Acknowledge bits are used by the JAGXTREME terminal to inform the PLC that it has received a new, valid command. The JAGXTREME terminal rotates sequentially among values 1,
2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, … to acknowledge it has processed a new command.
2- The Data Integrity bit in WORD 0 (bit 13) is used in conjunction with the bit in WORD 3 (bit 14) to insure that the floating point data is valid. For the data to be valid both bits must have the same
polarity. These bits will change to the opposite state every A/D (scale) update. If they do not have the same value the data is invalid, the PLC should ignore ALL of the data in this case, and simply
re-scan it.
3- The Floating Point Input Indication bits (WORD 0, bits 8-12) are used to determine what type of data is being sent in the floating point value (WORD 1 and WORD 2). These bits correspond to a
decimal value of 0-31 which represent a particular type of data. See the Floating Point Input Indication Table to determine what type of data.
4- The Bits in WORD 1 and WORD 2 are a single-precision floating point value that may represent the scale’s gross, tare, net, rate, setpoint 1, setpoint 2, fine gross, fine tare, fine net, custom
JagBASIC, or filter setting data. The PLC command in the respective scale’s output word determines what data will be sent.
5- Bit 15 is set to a 1 when the scale is operating properly (NOT over capacity, under capacity, in power-up, in expanded mode, or in diagnostic mode).The PLC program should continuously monitor
this bit and the PLC processor “rack fault” bit (see A-B PLC documentation) to determine the validity of the discrete and/or block transfer data.
6- Bit 13 is set to a 1 when the scale is in net mode (a tare has been taken).
7- Bit 12 is set to a 1 when the scale is unstable (or in motion).
8- Bits 9, 10, 11 mirror the state of the first three discrete inputs on the JAGXTREME terminal’s controller board (labeled IN1, IN2, and IN3). If the input is ON (input grounded) then the bit is set to a 1.
9- Bit 8 is set to a 1 when the ESC key is pressed on the keypad of the JAGXTREME terminal with the RIO option card. The bit will be cleared to 0 when the display mode bits (see the output table)
change from a 0 to any non-zero value.
10- The JagBASIC custom bits can be used with a custom JagBASIC application to communicate special status to the PLC. The JagBASIC and PLC code define the meaning of these bits.
11- The Scale Selected bit allows the PLC to determine which scale is currently displayed on the upper weight display (for two scale systems). When the bit is set to 1, the scale associated with this
data is selected.
12- These setpoint bits are used to report the status of the setpoint feed, fast feed, and tolerance conditions.

1- The command word (WORD 1 for scale A /and WORD 4 for scale B or the second set of data for scale A) is used to instruct the JAGXTREME terminal what data to send in the discrete read data, to load the
floating point data in the write command, and to control the JAGXTREME terminal’s discrete outputs or lower display. See the PLC Output Command Table for a list of the available commands and their respective
decimal or hex value. Not all commands will require a value in the floating point load value words.
2- The Bits in WORD 2 and WORD 3 (or WORD 5 and WORD 6) are a single-precision floating point value. This value is used with the command in WORD 1 (or WORD 4) to instruct the JAGXTREME terminal to
download the floating point value into the field specified in the command.
3- These words are used if scale B is present or a second data set for scale A is wanted.

Floating Point Data Format and Compatibility

In Floating Point Message mode, the PLC and terminal exchange weight, rate, setpoint,
and tare data in single-precision floating point format. The IEEE Standard for Binary
Floating-Point Arithmetic, ANSI/IEEE Standard 754-1985, specifies the format for single-
precision floating point numbers. It is a 32-bit number that has a 1-bit sign, an 8-bit
signed exponent, and a 23-bit mantissa. The 8-bit signed exponent provides scaling of
weight and rate data. The 23-bit mantissa allows representation of 8 million unique
counts.
Although the single-precision floating point number provides greater numerical precision
and flexibility than integer weight representations, it has limitations. The weight
representation may not be exact, particularly for the extended-resolution weight fields for
high-precision bases.
Some Allen-Bradley PLCs require special integrity checking to communicate floating
point numbers across the Remote I/O link. The Allen-Bradley PLC-5 and KTX Scanner
Card programs must check two data integrity bits to verify the integrity of the floating
point data it reads from the terminal. Allen-Bradley SLC programs always read valid
floating-point data from JAGXTREME terminals and do not have to make special checks
to guarantee the validity of the floating-point data. The Allen-Bradley PLC-3 and PLC-
5/250 cannot support terminals in floating point mode as they cannot guarantee the
integrity of the floating-point data.
There are two data integrity bits that the terminal uses to maintain data integrity when
communicating with the Allen-Bradley PLC-5 Remote I/O Scanner or KTX Scanner Card.
One bit is in the beginning byte of the data; the second is in the ending byte of the data
for a scale slot. The PLC program must verify that both data integrity bits have the same
polarity for the data in the scale slot to be valid. There is a possibility that the PLC
program will see several consecutive invalid reads when the terminal is freely sending
weigh updates to the PLC-5 program detects this condition, it should send a new
command to the terminal.
The Allen-Bradley SLC PLC programs do not have to make special checks to guarantee
the validity of the floating-point data.

Shared Data Mode

The Shared Data mode PLC communications is not available in Allen-Bradley PLCs.
Block Transfer communications is used instead.

Block Transfer
Block Transfer mode is much less efficient than the discrete data modes, which are
Note: Do not use Block Transfer mode optimized for real time communications of weight and status data. Block Transfer mode
for real-time communications. accesses the terminal’s “Shared Data” directory structure each time a data item is
accessed. By contrast, the weight-synchronous mode communications has a direct
interface to a limited number of real time terminal data fields.

Block Transfer Data

Block transfer allows the JAGXTREME terminal and PLC to exchange many types of data
in blocks of up to 128 bytes. It also enables the PLC to write messages directly to the
terminal's lower display area.
Block transfer works concurrently with discrete data. Discrete mode communicates
continuously in the background and a block transfer occurs only when the PLC program
executes a block transfer read or write instruction. Data transfer is controlled by the PLC.

cannot be used since the full rack must be used for discretes. Scale 1A would write its outputs to I:010.0 - I:011.17 of
the PLC. Scale 1B would write its outputs to I:012.0 - I:013.17 of the PLC. Scale 2A would write its outputs to I:014.0 -
I:015.17 of the PLC. Scale 2B would write its outputs to I:016.0 - I:017.17 of the PLC. Each scale would read its inputs
from a corresponding output address of the PLC. (Example: scale 1A and O:010.0 - O:011.17)
2) A two terminal system with two scales and one A/B RIO card per JAGXTREME terminal. JAGXTREME terminal #1 is
configured as rack 01, JAGXTREME terminal #2 is configured as rack 02. BTR and BTW are enabled. Each rack is
configured as 3/4: the first quarter for block transfer, the second quarter for scale A, and the third quarter for scale B.
Scale 1A would write its outputs to I:012.0 - I:013.17 of the PLC. Scale 1B would write its outputs to I:014.0 -
I:015.17 of the PLC. Scale 2A would write its outputs to I:022.0 - I:023.17 of the PLC. Scale 2B would write its outputs
to I:024.0 - I:025.17 of the PLC. Each scale would read its input from a corresponding output address of the PLC.
(Example: scale 1A and O:012.0 - O:013.17)
BTW at N11:0, BTR at N11:64 > 8 byte FP write field code is at N11:09 - N11:12, 8 byte FP read field code request
from BTW is at N11:39 - N11:42, 8 byte FP read field code in BTR is at N11:64 - N11:67, 8 byte string read field
code in BTR is at N11:70 - N11:73.

Note: Refer to the METTLER TOLEDO Floating Point and String Data Field Codes for BTW/BTR
Shared Data Reference Guide. The following charts describe some of the floating point and string data fields that the
JAGXTREME terminal can access. String data fields are serial ASCII character strings.
Each table contains the following information:
Field Code-is the ASCII field that must be loaded into the Block Transfer write buffer. It
identifies the data that is written to the terminal or returned by the terminal in a Block
Transfer read.
The field code must be expanded to eight bytes by filling with three leading spaces. If
the field code contains an “n” it should be replaced by the scale number (1 or 2 for
scale A or B) or the setpoint number (1-8).
Description-is a description of the field.
Read/Write-indicates whether the PLC can read and/or write to the field.
Length-is the number of bytes (length) of the field. All floating point values are 4 bytes
(2 words) long. Strings are the length specified.

Controlling the Discrete

I/O Using a PLC Interface
The JAGXTREME terminal provides the ability to directly control its discrete outputs and
read its discrete inputs via the (digital) PLC interface options. System integrators should
be aware that the terminal’s discrete I/O updates are synchronized with the terminal’s
A/D rate and not with the PLC I/O scan rate. This may cause a noticeable delay in
reading inputs or updating outputs as observed from the PLC to real world signals.

Hardware Setup
Wiring
The JAGXTREME terminal’s A-B RIO option card uses a three-position removable
terminal strip to connect to the A-B RIO network interface. Cable distance, type, and
termination are specified by Allen-Bradley (See Allen-Bradley documentation for
reference on cable design guidelines for the various PLCs).

JAGXTREME Terminal A-B RIO Option Card

The JAGXTREME terminal’s RIO option card has three jumpers. They should not be
changed from their default positions. The default positions are as follows:
W1 IRQ3 (I3) position
W2 installed
W3 installed

Software Setup
The JAGXTREME terminal automatically detects the presence of an RIO option board if
one is installed. When detected, the terminal adds the Allen-Bradley parameters in a
program block immediately following the Diagnostics block called CONFIGURE
OPTIONS. You can configure these parameters just as you configured the other blocks.
To configure the Allen-Bradley, first select CONFIG OPTIONS, then select the Allen-
Bradley block. The following diagram describes the Allen-Bradley program block:

2 PROFIBUS

Overview
The PROFIBUS option card enables the JAGXTREME terminal to communicate to a
PROFIBUS L2-DP master according to DIN 19 245. It consists of a JAGXTREME terminal
backplane-compatible module and software that resides in the terminal, which
implements the data exchange.
The PROFIBUS option card interfaces to PLCs such as Texas Instruments 505 series,
Siemens S5 series, and Siemens S7 series PLCs.
The Texas Instruments (TI) 505 PLCs interface to the PROFIBUS via an I/O processor
called a Field Interface Module (FIM). The FIM bus master recognizes a fixed set of
PROFIBUS slave devices, all of which are viewed by it as some sort of remote I/O rack.
On power up, the FIM queries each PROFIBUS slave node to determine which of the
recognized types a device might be and configures itself accordingly. The PROFIBUS
option appears to the FIM to be a small ET200U I/O rack.
The Siemens S5-115 series PLC also interfaces to the PROFIBUS using an I/O
processor, an IM-308. This device must be locally programmed with the terminal
interface type files. Newer Siemens S7 PLCs have the PROFIBUS option on their main
controller card.

Communications
PROFIBUS is based on a variety of existing national and international standards. The
protocol architecture is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference
model in accordance with the international standard ISO 7498.
The JAGXTREME terminal supports the PROFIBUS-DP which is designed for high speed
data transfer at the sensor actuator level. (DP means Distributed Peripherals.) At this
level, controllers such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) exchange data via a
fast serial link with their distributed peripherals. The data exchange with these distributed
devices is mainly cyclic. The central controller (master) reads the input information from
the slaves and sends the output information back to the slaves. It is important that the
bus cycle time is shorter than the program cycle time of the controller, which is
approximately 10 ms in most applications. The following is a summary of the technical
features of the PROFIBUS-DP communications protocol:
Transmission Technique: PROFIBUS DIN 19 245 Part 1
-EIA RS 485 twisted pair cable or fiber optic
-9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s, max distance 200 m at 1.5 Mbit/s extendible with repeaters

Overview

Node/Rack Address
Each PROFIBUS option card represents one physical node but may contain data for
multiple scales. The node address is chosen by the system designer, then programmed
into the terminal and PLC. The terminal’s node address is programmed through the
Configure Options PROFIBUS program block in the setup menu. The node address and
amount of input and output words used to communicate between the terminal and the
PLC are programmed into the PLC by using its PROFIBUS network configuration
software and the terminal’s PROFIBUS type files.
The type file used is dependent on the data format and number of scales selected in the
terminal. The terminal setup capabilities allow selection of the logical rack (node)
address, data format, and number of scales using the node. The terminal will determine
the number of input and output words needed for the number of configured scales and
chosen data format. The PLC must be configured for the same amount of space.

Data Formats
The terminal’s PROFIBUS option card has two types of data exchanges: discrete data
and shared data. Each scale selected to pass data through the terminal’s PROFIBUS
option has its own assigned input and output words for continuous information to and
from the PLC. Shared data access is only available when four scales have been
configured. This data is used to pass information that cannot be sent in the discrete
data because of size or process speed limitations. It uses additional input and output
word space.

Remote Scale Sharing

Using Ethernet makes it possible for JAGXTREME terminals to communicate with each
other and to share resources. A JAGXTREME terminal with a PROFIBUS option card can
collect information from up to four networked and local scales when using any of its
data formats. The following charts show possible configurations with and without
resource sharing.

Data Definition
The PROFIBUS option card uses two types of data for communicating with the PLC:
discrete data and shared data. Separate discrete data for each scale is always available
and the data transfer is accomplished via the PLC’s PROFIBUS network communication
messaging. Shared data is only available if data for four scales are enabled through the
terminal setup menu. If the shared data is used, it is provided IN ADDITION TO the
discrete data for each scale.

Data Integrity
The terminal has specific bits to allow the PLC to confirm that the data was received
without interrupt, and the scale is not in an error condition. It is important to monitor
these bits. Any PLC code should use them to confirm the integrity of the data received for
the scale. Refer to the detailed data charts for specific information regarding the Data
OK, update in progress, and data integrity bits and their usage.

Discrete Data
There are four formats of discrete data available with the PROFIBUS option card: integer
(wgt), division (div), extended integer (ext), and floating point (flt). Only one data
format may be selected and used by scales sharing the same PROFIBUS option card.
The integer and division formats allow bi-directional communication of discrete bit
encoded information or 16-bit binary word (signed integer) numerical values. The
extended integer format allows bi-directional communication of discrete bit encoded
information, 21-bit binary word (signed extended integer) numerical read values or 16-
bit binary word (signed integer) numerical write values.
The floating point format allows bi-directional communication of discrete bit encoded
information or numeric data encoded in IEEE 754, single precision floating point format.
The discrete data format affects the input/output word space required per scale and the
amount of input/output words used by the PROFIBUS option card. Integer, division, and
extended integer formats require two 16-bit words of input and two 16-bit words of
output data per scale. One scale uses two 16-bit words of input and two 16-bit words
of output; two scales use four16-bit words of input and four 16-bit words of output;
three scales use six 16-bit words of input and six 16-bit words of output; and four
scales use eight 16-bit words of input and eight 16-bit words of output.
The floating point format requires more space per scale because floating point data uses
two 16-bit words of data to represent the numeric data alone. The floating point format
requires four 16-bit words of input and four 16-bit words of output data per scale. The
smallest amount that the terminal can configure for floating point is eight words of input
/ eight words of output. This means that when a single scale is configured, there are two
sets of input/output data for the scale. Four scales using the floating point format would
use 16 words of input and 16 words of output data. Shared data would require
additional space.
Selection of the appropriate format depends on different issues. The range or capacity of
the scale used in the application should be considered. The integer format can represent
a numerical value of up to 32,767; the division format can represent a numerical value
of up to 32,767 divisions (or increments); the extended integer can represent a
numerical value of over 1,000,000; and, the floating point format can represent a
numerical value encoded in IEEE 754, single precision floating point format.

2-6 (1/03
 Chapter 2: PROFIBUS
Data Definition
Floating point is the only format that includes decimal point information as a part of its
data. All other formats ignore decimal points in their data. Accommodation of decimal
point location must take place in the PLC logic, when it is needed with these formats.

For example:
250 x .01 scale
Scale reads: 0 2.00 51.67 250.00
Format sent:
Int 0 200 5167 25000
Div 0 200 5167 25000
Ext 0 200 5167 25000
FLT 0 2.00 51.67 250.00
Any of the formats could be used in this case

50,000 x 10 scale
Scale reads: 0 200 5160 50000
Format sent:
Int 0 200 5160 -(xxxxx)
Div 0 20 516 5000
Ext 0 200 5160 50000
FLT 0 200 5160 50000
The integer format could not be used because it would send a negative value once the
weight exceeded 32,760.

150 x .001 scale

Scale reads: 0 2.100 51.607 150.000
Format sent:
Int 0 2100 -(xxxxx) -(xxxxx)
Div 0 2100 -(xxxxx) -(xxxxx)
Ext 0 2100 51607 150000
FLT 0 2.100 51.607 150.000
The integer and division formats could not be used because they would send a negative
value once the weight exceeded 32.767. There is another special requirement for the
extended integer format. Since the PLCs do not have any mechanism to interpret 21-bit
signed integers, a few rungs of ladder logic are need to convert the bit data into a
floating point value. Because the floating point format has more space for its data, it
has additional information that can be sent or received, especially if the shared data
access is included. Please see each formats detailed description of the data available to
determine which is most suitable.

When one of these formats are selected, each scale will have two 16-bit words for input
data and two 16-bit words for output data. The PLC’s input data will contain one 16-bit
word for the scale’s weight information and one 16-bit word for bit encoded status
information. The JAGXTREME terminal will send specific data to the PLC input data
based on the data it receives from the PLC’s output data. The PLC’s output words
consist of one 16-bit integer value which may be used to download a tare or setpoint 1
and one 16-bit word for bit encoded command information.
The following charts provide information on the integer (int), division (div), and the

Floating Point
Operational Overview
The JAGXTREME terminal uses integer commands from the PLC to select the floating
point weight output data. The terminal will recognize a command when it sees a new
value in the scale’s command word. If the command has an associated floating point
value (for example: loading a setpoint value), it must be loaded into the floating point
value words before the command is issued. Once the terminal recognizes a command,
it will acknowledge it by setting a new value in the command acknowledge bits of the
scale’s command response word. It will also tell the PLC which floating point value is
currently being sent (via the floating point input indicator bits of the command response
word). The PLC will wait until it receives the command acknowledgment from the
terminal before it sends another command.
The terminal can report two types of values to the PLC: real-time and static. When the
PLC requests a real-time value, the terminal will acknowledge the command from the
PLC once but will send and update the value at every A/D update. However, if the PLC
requests a static value, the terminal will acknowledge the command from the PLC once
and UPDATE the value once. The terminal will continue to send this “static” value until it
receives a new command from the PLC. Gross weight, net weight, and rate are
examples of real-time data. Tare weight, setpoint cutoff, dribble, and tolerance values
are examples of static data.
The terminal can also send a rotation of up to nine different real-time values for each
scale. The PLC sends commands to the terminal to add a value to the rotation list. Once
the rotation is established, the PLC must instruct the terminal to begins its rotation
automatically or the PLC may control the pace of rotation by instructing the terminal
advance to the next value. If the terminal is asked to automatically alternate its output
data, it will switch to the next value in its rotation at the next A/D update. (The A/D
update rate depends on the scale type. An analog scale has an update rate of 17 Hz or
58 milliseconds.)
The PLC may control the rotation by sending alternate report next field commands (1
and 2). When the PLC changes to the next command, the terminal switches to the next
value in the rotation. The terminal stores the rotation in its shared data so the rotation
does not have to be re-initialized after each power cycle. When the PLC does not set up

The following charts provide detailed information on the floating point data format. Read

1- The Command Acknowledge bits are used by the JAGXTREME to inform the PLC that it has received a new, valid command. The JAGXTREME rotates sequentially among values 1, 2, 3, 1,
2, 3, 1, 2, … to acknowledge it has processed a new command.
2- The Data Integrity bit in 1st WORD IN (bit 13) is used in conjunction with the bit in 4th WORD IN (bit 14) to insure that the floating point data is valid. For the data to be valid both bits must
have the same polarity. These bits will change to the opposite state every A/D (scale) update. If they do not have the same value, the data is invalid. If they are not changing state, the data is
invalid. Any time the data is invalid, the PLC should ignore ALL of the data, and simply re-scan it.
3- The Floating Point Input Indication bits (1st WORD IN, bits 8-12) are used to determine what type of data is being sent in the floating point value (2nd WORD IN and 3rd WORD IN). These
bits correspond to a decimal value of 0-31 which represent a particular type of data. See the Floating Point Input Indication Table to determine what type of data.
4- The Bits in 2nd WORD IN and 3rd WORD IN are a single-precision floating point value that may represent the scale’s gross, tare, net, rate, setpoint 1, setpoint 2, fine gross, fine tare, fine
net, custom JagBASIC, or filter setting data. The PLC command in the respective scale’s output word determines what data will be sent.
5- Bit 15 is set to a 1 when the scale is operating properly (NOT over capacity, under capacity, in power-up, in expanded mode, or in diagnostic mode).The PLC program should continuously
monitor this bit and the PLC network comm fault (see PLC documentation) to determine the validity of the discrete and/or shared data.
6- Bit 13 is set to a 1 when the scale is in net mode (a tare has been taken).
7- Bit 12 is set to a 1 when the scale is unstable (or in motion).
8- Bits 9, 10, 11 mirror the state of the first three discrete inputs on the JAGXTREME terminal’s controller board (labeled IN1, IN2, & IN3). If the input is ON (input grounded) then the bit is set
to a 1.
9- Bit 8 is set to a 1 when the ESC key is pressed on the keypad of the terminal with the PROFIBUS option card. The bit will be cleared to 0 when the display mode bits (see the output table)
change from a 0 to any non-zero value.
10- The JagBASIC custom bits can be used with a custom JagBASIC application to communicate special status to the PLC. The JagBASIC and PLC code define the meaning of these bits.
11- The Scale Selected bit allows the PLC to determine which scale is currently displayed on the upper weight display (for two scale systems). When the bit is set to 1,the scale associated
with this data is selected.
12- These setpoint bits are used to report the status of the setpoint feed, fast feed, and tolerance conditions.

read data, to load the floating point data in the write command, and to control the JAGXTREME terminal’s discrete outputs or lower display. See the PLC Output Command Table for a list of
the available commands and their respective decimal or hex value. Not all commands will require a value in the floating point load value words.
2- The bits in 3rd WORD OUT and 4th WORD OUT (or 6th WORD OUT and 7th WORD OUT) are a single-precision floating point value. This value is used with the command in the 2nd WORD
OUT (or 5th WORD OUT) to instruct the JAGXTREME to download the floating point value into the field specified in the command.
3- These words are used if scale B is present or a second data set for scale A is wanted.

Floating Point Command Examples

JAGXTREME terminal configured as node 3, using input & output words 10-17

Data requirement: only net weight sent (continuously) for scale 1

As long as the PLC leaves the 11 (dec) in the command word the JAGXTREME will update the net value every A/D
cycle.

Data requirement: load setpoint 1 cutoff value = 21.75 for scale 1

3 Command ack. = 1 Floating point

5 Command ack. = 2 (null value)
(JAGXTREME sees new F.P. ind = 30
command)
The PLC should always wait to receive a command acknowledgment before sending the next command to the
JAGXTREME. After the PLC finishes loading its setpoint value, it could then resume monitoring the weight information
it requires by sending a command to report some type of weight or set up a rotation of reported data.

Floating Point Numbers

The Simatic TI505 PLCs support the IEEE Standard floating point numbers. According
the Simatic TI505 Programming Reference Manual real numbers are stored in the
single-precision 32-bit format, according to ANSI/IEEE Standard 754-1985, in the range
5.42101070 E-20 to 9.22337177 E18.
Siemens S5 PLCs do not support inherently the IEEE-format floating point numbers. S5
PLCs do support floating point numbers in their own unique format. You can implement
a software “function block” in the S5 PLC that converts between the S5 floating point
numbers and the IEEE Standard floating point numbers. Appendix 2 shows a sample
PLC program for converting a IEEE Standard Floating Point Number to an S5-format
Floating Point Number.
The Siemens S7 PLCs support the IEEE Standard floating point numbers.

Shared Data
Operational Overview
PROFIBUS PLCs can access the terminal’s Shared Data. Since the PROFIBUS
communications supports up to 244-byte messages at speeds typically in the range of
1.5 to 12 megahertz, there is not a need for two separate modes of communication
unlike Allen-Bradley and its block transfer. PROFIBUS PLCs can read JAGXTREME
Shared Data variables, write new values to JAGXTREME Shared Data variables, and
write operator messages on the terminal’s lower display. For PROFIBUS, the PLC output
data had additional fields for accessing Shared Data. The PLC must specify the Shared
Data command and variable name in the PLC output message. If the command is a
2-20 (1/03)
 Chapter 2: PROFIBUS
Floating Point Numbers
write command, then the PLC output message must also contain the write field value.
The maximum length of the value is 20 bytes. When the Shared Data command is a
read command, the PLC input message will have a read field containing the data from
the Shared Data variable specified in the output message. The maximum length of the
data reported in the read field is 20 bytes. The Shared Data variables are self-typing.
The JAGXTREME terminal determines the type of any valid data field in the message
from the variable’s name and definition in Shared Data. The terminal will not allow
string data to be written in a floating point variable or visa versa.

Shared Data Input

The input information for the shared data consists of two sections: the shared data
status and the shared data read field value (if requested by the shared data output
command). The shared data status information is a word that contains an integer value.
This integer value represents one of the following status values:
0 Null status
1 Command completed successfully
2 Invalid shared data name
3 Invalid shared data command
4 Cannot write because field is write-protected (legal for trade)
5 Cannot access remote JAGXTREME
Please refer to the Shared Data
Reference Guide for a complete The shared data read field value contains the value of the shared data variable specified
listing of Shared Data Fields. in the shared data output (from the PLC to the terminal). It is only present when the
command from the shared data output requests read shared data. This value is self-
typing; for example, it could be a floating point number or a string variable. The length
is determined by the variable selected but will not exceed 20 bytes. See the tables
following the Shared Data Output for a list of possible variables and their contents.

Shared Data Output

The output information for the shared data consists of four sections: the shared data
command, the shared data name, the shared data variable name, and the shared data
write value (if required by the shared data output command). The shared data
command information is a word that contains an integer value. This integer value
represents one of the following status values:
0 Null command
1 Read shared data
2 Write shared data
3 Write to JAGXTREME lower display

The terminal processes a shared data command “on demand” by the PLC. When a new
value is placed in the shared data command word, the terminal will perform the
command issued. The terminal does not provide “real time” information to the PLC; it
supplies a “snapshot’ of the data not an automatic update of new values of the same
shared data command. Instead, the PLC must request the information again by setting a
new value in the shared data command word.
To do successive reads, for example, the PLC must alternate between a “null” command
and a “read” command in the shared data command word. For the most efficient
processing, the PLC should set up the terminal name, the variable name, and the write
value (if any) while it is setting the “null” command. Once that is completed, the PLC
can then set the shared data command to “read” or “write”.

(1/03) 2-21
JAGXTREME PLC and ANALOG OUTPUT INTERFACE Technical Manual
Before sending a command to write to the terminal’s lower display, the PLC must issue
a display mode command in the scale command words (command 57 for floating
point data; 2nd word bits 9-11 = on for other data formats) to enable the terminal to
accept commands for its display.
The following tables list the field code names for the variables available for shared data
read and write.

Controlling Discrete
I/O Using a PLC Interface
The JAGXTREME terminal provides the ability to directly control its discrete
outputs and read its discrete inputs via the (digital) PLC interface options.
System integrators should be aware that the JAGXTREME discrete I/O updates
are synchronized with the A/D rate, not with the PLC I/O scan rate. This may
cause a noticeable delay in reading inputs or updating outputs as observed
from the PLC to real world signals.

Hardware Setup
Wiring
The JAGXTREME terminal’s PROFIBUS option card has two possible connections: a DB-
9 connector or a five-position removable terminal strip to connect to the PROFIBUS
network interface. Most installations use the DB-9 connector. Cable distance, type, and
termination are specified by PROFIBUS. (See the PLC documentation for cable design
guidelines for the various PLCs). An adapter harness, PN 0900-0311-000, which
provides an external DB-9 connection for general purpose and harsh environment
JAGXTREME terminals is available. Note: The adapter harness is not suitable for
network speeds above 1.5 Mb.

TI545 Setup Example

Older TI Series 505 PLCs use a hardware Field Interface Module (FIM) to implement the
PROFIBUS-DP protocol. The FIM L2-DP allows the TI PLCs to interface to L2-DP I/O as
if each slave were an I/O module in a remote base. After you configure the base and
assign I/O address points to each slot, the I/O is automatically updated with the I/O from
the slave. The FIM operates at baud rates from 9600 to 1.5 megabits per second.

(1/03) 2-31

Switch Settings

Refer to the SIMATIC TI505 Field Setting Base Address

Interface Module User Manual for Switch 1 on the front panel of the FIM selects the desired base address. For example,
complete setup details. set SW1 to 1 for base 1, 2 for base 2.

Setting Baud Rate

Switch 2 on the front panel of the FIM selects the proper communications baud. For
example, setting SW2 to 0 selects 1.5 megabits per second

Slave Address Range Selection

The S3-5, S3-6, and S3-7 switches on the FIM board are used for the slave address
range selection. Each FIM can address 16 nodes out of the L2-DP maximum 126
nodes. These switches select a 16 node address range for the FIM. For example, when
all three switches are in the Closed/On/0 position, the FIM module references slave
addresses 17 through 32. In the configuration menus, slave addresses 17 through 32
then correspond to slots 1 through 16 for the particular base.

TISOFT 2 Software
TISOFT™ 2 software runs on a PC and configures the I/O addresses for slave devices
connected to the FIM base over L2-DP. Refer to the SIMATIC TI505 TISOFT 2 User
Manual. TISOFT communicates to the TI Series 505 PLC over a Serial RS232C
communications link.
The FIM identifies and reports slaves in terms of I/O points. You must assign I/O
addresses before the FIM will update them. When the slaves are configured properly, the
assigned input points will immediately be updated with data from the slave, and the
output points will be written to the slave.
Menu selections in TISOFT allow you to configure the I/O points (or addresses). At the
main menu selection, select ONLINE or OFFLINE, then select CONFIO. Select the base, 1
through 16, corresponding to the base selected by Switch 1 on the FIM base. Then
select CONFIG the base. There are 16 slots within each base where each slot
corresponds to a consecutive PROFIBUS node address.
TISOFT™ of Texas Instruments
For the JAGXTREME terminal, all I/O addresses at the TI505 PLC are WORD I/O
addresses. In TI terminology, these are WX addresses for input words and WY
addresses for output words. Each PROFIBUS node can support up to four scales - two
local and two remote. Each scale requires two input words and two output words. To
configure a terminal with four connected scales, you must configure 8 WX’s and 8 WY’s
in TISOFT for the FIM base. TISOFT requires you to configure the beginning address and
the number of WX’s and WY’s for each slot. For example, when configuring three
terminals on a single PROFIBUS link with node addresses 17, 18, and 19, each host
JAGXTREME supports four scales - two local and two remote.
Then, the following is a possible I/O address configuration mapping.
Slot Address # WX’s # WY’s
1 0001 8 8
2 0017 8 8
3 0033 8 8
Once the I/O address table is configured, you need to run TISOFT in ONLINE mode to
write the new configuration to the FIM base.

bits 22-0 Mantissa. Value of the fraction g. Only the fraction g is stored instead of

Example: Instead of the value 1.2345, only .2345 is stored in the mantissa.
S5-Format
bits 31-24 Value of the exponent in 2’s complement.
bits 23-0 Value of the fraction g in 2’s complement. In S5-format, g is stored.
When in S5-format, the value of the mantissa does not consist of 1+g. Something
must be computed since the value of g in the S5-format must always be less than 1.
Solution:
The value of the IEEE mantissa will be divided by 2 to make it less than 1.
Consequently, the value of the exponent will be increased by 1.
(1 + gIEEE) / 2 = 0.5 + gIEEE / 2 = gS5
The fraction gS5 of the S5-mantissa will be calculated from the formula above.
Implementation:
The addend gIEEE/2 is implemented by shifting the IEEE mantissa one place to the right
The addend 0.5 is implemented by setting bit 22 in the S5 mantissa.
Now that the mantissa has been divided by 2 the exponent must be increased by 1.
For formatting, do the following.
127 must be subtracted from the IEEE exponent
The IEEE exponent must be shifted to the appropriate position in the S5-format
Based on the description of the mantissa as 1 + g, whereby only g is stored, the value
of the exponent in S5-format must be incremented by 1. If the sign of the IEEE mantissa
is set to 1, the 2’s complement must be created. Description of the functional building
blocks:
The to-be-converted IEEE floating point value must be placed in MD 200
The converted S5 floating point value can be fetched from MD 220

proportional to the percentage of full scale capacity.
The Analog Output sub-block lets you select the data source and calibrate analog zero
and full-scale values. The JAGXTREME terminal must be calibrated to the desired scale
before making Analog Output adjustments. The Analog Output card has two channels.
Channel 1 is typically assigned to Scale 1; Channel 2 to Scale 2 (if a second scale is
being used). In setup, you can assign the scale source of the analog output values to
the output channel.
Data sources may be weight, rate, or JAGBASIC output.

 Chapter 4: Modbus Plus Option Card
Overview

4 Modbus Plus Option Card

Overview
Modbus Plus is a local area network designed for industrial control applications. The
network enables Modicon Model 984 programmable controllers, host computers,
JAGXTREME terminals, PANTHER terminals, and other devices to communicate
throughout the production areas of an industrial plant. It supports 64 addressable node
devices at a data transfer rate of one million bits per second. Up to 32 devices can
connect directly to a network cable with a length of up to 1500 feet.
The JAGXTREME Modbus Plus interface is an option card that plugs into the JAGXTREME
terminal. It has a “peer processor” that implements the network protocol; an FM
encoder/decoder; and an RS485 driver that provides the interface to the Modbus Plus
network. The interface card is a single Modbus Plus node. The hosting JAGXTREME
terminal can support up to four scales within the node. The scales can be any
combination of local or remote scales in a JAGXTREME terminal cluster.

Communication
Point-to-point communication in the Modbus Plus network is the communication
between two network nodes. The “Master Task” at the PLC initiating node generates a
“transaction query” for the “Slave Command Handler Task” at the destination
JAGXTREME node. The Slave Command Handler Task sends a “transaction response” to
the transaction query. Peer Processors route the messages through the network.
The Modbus Plus PLC acts as the Master Task. The JAGXTREME terminal has the Slave
Command Handler Task. The PLC initiates all transactions. The JAGXTREME terminal
responds to the transaction queries.
The general format for Modbus transaction query command is a one-byte command
followed by a group of data or function bytes. The maximum message length is 252
bytes. The function bytes tell the slave device what action to perform.
The JAGXTREME terminal supports the following Modbus functions:
03 Read Holding Registers
This function requests the value of one or more 16-bit holding registers.
16 Preset Multiple Registers
Place values into a series of consecutive holding registers.
The transaction query messages contain register values that specify what data that the
PLC is requesting from the JAGXTREME terminal. For example, if the PLC issues Function
03, the data field must contain information telling the JAGXTREME terminal what register
number to start at and how many registers to read. All address references within the
Modbus messages are relative to zero. For example, the first holding register in the
Modicon 984 PLC is 40001, but has the value 0000 in the messages.
The JAGXTREME terminal must be set up in one of the “integer” weight data modes or in
the “floating point” weight data mode. These modes are mutually exclusive, that is, the
Modicon PLC can request either integer weight data or the floating point weight data, but
cannot request both interchangeably in the same JAGXTREME terminal setup.

(1-03) 4-1
JAGXTREME PLC and Analog Output Interface Technical Manual

Node/Rack Address
Each Modbus Plus option card represents one physical node but may contain data for
multiple scales. The node address is chosen by the system designer, setup in the
terminal, and programmed into the PLC. The JAGXTREME terminal’s node address is set
up via the DIP switches located on the Modbus Plus Option card. The node address and
input and output registers used to communicate between the terminal and the PLC are
programmed into the PLC by using its programming software (using MSTR function). The
terminal setup capabilities allow viewing of the logical rack (node) address and selection
of data format and number of scales using the node. The terminal will determine the
number of input and output registers needed for the number of configured scales and
chosen data format. The PLC must be configured to use the same amount of space and
the correct registers in the MSTR function for the appropriate data format.

Data Formats
The Modbus Plus option card has two types of data exchanges: discrete data and shared
data. Each scale selected to pass data through the JAGXTREME terminal’s Modbus Plus
option has its own input and output registers to communicate continuously with the PLC.
Shared data access is used to pass information that cannot be sent by the discrete data
because of size or process speed limitations and uses additional input and output
register space. See the Data Definition section for information on the available data
formats.

Remote Scale Sharing

The JAGXTREME terminal’s Ethernet feature makes it possible for a JAGXTREME terminal
to communicate with other JAGXTREME terminals and to share resources. This allows
one terminal with the Modbus Plus option card to collect information from up to four
networked and local scales when using any of its data formats. The Ethernet connection
also allows the terminal to share information with other networked equipment.

Data Definition

Data Definition
The JAGXTREME terminal’s Modbus Plus option card uses two types of data for
communicating with the PLC, discrete data and shared data. Separate discrete data for
each scale is always available. The data transfer is accomplished via the PLCs MSTR
function (or use of the global data functionality). If the shared data is used, it is provided
in addition to the discrete data for each scale.

Data Integrity
The JAGXTREME terminal has specific bits to allow the PLC to confirm that the data was
received without interruption and with the scale not in an error condition. It is important to
monitor these bits. Any PLC code should use them to confirm the integrity of the data
received for the scale. Refer to the detailed data charts for specific information regarding
the Data OK, update in progress, and data integrity bits and their usage.

Discrete Data
There are four formats of discrete data available with the Modbus Plus option card. Only
one data format may be selected and used by scales sharing the same card.
• The integer (wgt) and division (div) formats allow bi-directional communication of
discrete bit encoded information or 16-bit binary word (signed integer) numerical
values.
• The extended (ext) integer format allows bi-directional communication of discrete bit
encoded information, 21-bit binary word (signed extended integer) numerical read
values or 16-bit binary word (signed integer) numerical write values.
• The floating point (flt) format allows bi-directional communication of discrete bit
encoded information or numeric data encoded in IEEE 754, single precision floating
point format.
The format of discrete data affects the amount of input/output register space required per
scale and the total input/output registers used by the Modbus Plus option card. Integer,
division, and extended integer formats require two 16-bit words of input and two16-bit
words of output data per scale. One scale would use two 16-bit registers of input and
two 16-bit registers of output. Two scales would use four16-bit registers of input and four
16-bit registers of output. Three scales would use six 16-bit registers of input and six
16-bit registers of output. Four scales would use eight 16-bit registers of input and eight
16-bit registers of output.
The floating point format requires more space per scale because floating point data uses
two 16-bit words of data to represent just the numeric data. The floating point format
requires four 16-bit registers of input and four 16-bit registers of output data per scale.
The smallest amount that the terminal can configure for floating point is eight registers of
input and eight registers of output. This means that when a single scale is configured,
there are two sets of input/output data for the scale. Four scales using the floating point
format would use 16 registers of input and 16 registers of output data. Shared data
would require additional space, if used.
Format selection depends on different issues. First, the range or capacity of the scale
used in the application should be considered. The integer format can represent a
numerical value of up to 32,767; the division format can represent a numerical value of
up to 32,767 divisions (or increments); the extended integer can represent a numerical
value of over 1,000,000; and the floating point format can represent a numerical value
encoded in IEEE 754, single precision floating point format.

(1-03) 4-5
JAGXTREME PLC and Analog Output Interface Technical Manual
Floating point is the only format that includes decimal point information as a part of its
data. All the other formats ignore decimal points in their data. Accommodation of
decimal point location must take place in the PLC logic, when it is needed with these
formats.

For example:
250 x .01 scale
Scale reads: 0 2.00 51.67 250.00
Format sent:
Int 0 200 5167 25000
Div 0 200 5167 25000
Ext 0 200 5167 25000
FLT 0 2.00 51.67 250.00
Any of the formats could be used in this case

50,000 x 10 scale
Scale reads: 0 200 5160 50000
Format sent:
Int 0 200 5160 -(xxxxx)
Div 0 20 516 5000
Ext 0 200 5160 50000
FLT 0 200 5160 50000
The integer format could not be used because it would send a negative value once the
weight exceeded 32,760.

150 x .001 scale

Scale reads: 0 2.100 51.607 150.000
Format sent:
Int 0 2100 -(xxxxx) -(xxxxx)
Div 0 2100 -(xxxxx) -(xxxxx)
Ext 0 2100 51607 150000
FLT 0 2.100 51.607 150.000
The integer and division formats could not be used because they would send a negative
value once the weight exceeded 32.767.
There is another special requirement for the extended integer format. Since PLCs do not
have any mechanism to interpret 21 bit signed integers, a few rungs of ladder logic are
needed to convert the bit data into a floating point value.
Another issue is the type of information that must be communicated between the terminal
and PLC for the application. Because the floating point format has more space for its
data, it also has additional information that can be sent or received especially if the
shared data access is included. Please see each format’s detailed description of the data
available to determine which is most suitable for the specific application.

status information. The JAGXTREME terminal will send specific data to the PLC input data
based on the data it receives from the PLCs output data. The PLCs output registers
consist of one 16-bit integer value which may be used to download a tare or setpoint 1
and one 16-bit register for bit encoded command information.

Floating Point
Operational Overview
The JAGXTREME terminal uses integer commands from the PLC to select the floating
point weight output data. The terminal will recognize a command when it sees a new
value in the scale’s command register. If the command has an associated floating point
value (for example: loading a setpoint value), it must be loaded into the floating point
value registers before the command is issued. Once the terminal recognizes a command,
it will acknowledge the command by setting a new value in the command acknowledge
bits of the scale’s command response register. It will also tell the PLC what floating point
value is currently being sent (via the floating point input indicator bits of the command
response register). The PLC will wait until it receives the command acknowledgment
from the terminal before it sends another command.
Gross weight, net weight, and rate are The JAGXTREME terminal has two types of values that it can report to the PLC: real-time
examples of real-time data. Tare weight, and static. When the PLC requests a real-time value, the terminal will acknowledge the
setpoint cutoff, dribble, and tolerance command from the PLC once but will send and update the value at every A/D update.
values are examples of static data. However, if the PLC requests a static value, the terminal will acknowledge the command
from the PLC once and update the value once. The terminal will continue to send this
value until it receives a new command from the PLC.
The JAGXTREME terminal can send a rotation of up to nine different real-time values for
each scale. In order to accomplish this, the PLC sends commands to the terminal to add
a value to the rotation. Once the rotation is established, the PLC must instruct the
terminal to begins its rotation automatically or the PLC may control the pace of rotation
by instructing the terminal advance to the next value. If the terminal is asked to
automatically alternate its output data, it will switch to the next value in its rotation at the
next A/D update. (The A/D update rate depends on the scale type. An analog scale has
an update rate of 17 Hz or 58 milliseconds.) The PLC may control the rotation by
sending alternate report next field commands (1 and 2).
When the PLC changes to the next command, the terminal switches to the next value in
the rotation. The terminal stores the rotation in its shared data so the rotation does not
have to be re-initialized after each power cycle. When the PLC does not set up an input
rotation, the default input rotation consists of gross weight only.
The following charts provide detailed information on the floating point data format. Read
data refers to the PLCs input data and write data refers to the PLCs output data.

1- The Command Acknowledge bits are used by the JAGXTREME terminal to inform the PLC that it has received a new, valid command. The JAGXTREME terminal rotates sequentially among values 1,
2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, … to acknowledge it has processed a new command.
2- The Data Integrity bit in 1ST register (bit 13) is used in conjunction with the bit in 4TH register (bit 14) to insure that the floating point data is valid. For the data to be valid both bits must have the
same polarity. These bits will change to the opposite state every A/D (scale) update. If they do not have the same value the data is invalid, the PLC should ignore ALL of the data in this case, and
simply re-scan it.
3- The Floating Point Input Indication bits (1ST register, bits 8-12) are used to determine what type of data is being sent in the floating point value (2ND register and 3RD WORD). These bits correspond
to a decimal value of 0-31 which represent a particular type of data. See the Floating Point Input Indication Table to determine what type of data.
4- The Bits in the second register and the third register are a single-precision floating point value that may represent the scale’s gross, tare, net, rate, setpoint 1, setpoint 2, fine gross, fine tare, fine net,
custom JagBASIC, or filter setting data. The PLC command in the respective scale’s output register determines what data will be sent.
5- Bit 15 is set to a 1 when the scale is operating properly (NOT over capacity, under capacity, in power-up, in expanded mode, or in diagnostic mode). The PLC program should continuously monitor
this bit and the PLC processor “rack fault” bit (see PLC documentation) to determine the validity of the discrete and/or shared data.
6- Bit 13 is set to a 1 when the scale is in net mode (a tare has been taken).
7- Bit 12 is set to a 1 when the scale is unstable (or in motion).
8- Bits 9, 10, 11 mirror the state of the first three discrete inputs on the JAGXTREME terminal’s controller board (labeled IN1, IN2, and IN3). If the input is ON (input grounded) then the bit is set to a 1.
9- Bit 8 is set to a 1 when the ESC key is pressed on the keypad of the JAGXTREME terminal with the option card. The bit will be cleared to 0 when the display mode bits (see the output table) change
from a 0 to any non-zero value.
10- The JagBASIC custom bits can be used with a custom JagBASIC application to communicate special status to the PLC. The JagBASIC and PLC code define the meaning of these bits.
11- The Scale Selected bit allows the PLC to determine which scale is currently displayed on the upper weight display (for two scale systems). When the bit is set to 1, the scale associated with this
data is selected.
12- These setpoint bits are used to report the status of the setpoint feed, fast feed, and tolerance conditions.

The PLC should always wait to receive a command acknowledgment before sending the next command to the JAGXTREME
terminal. After the PLC finishes loading its setpoint value, it could then resume monitoring the weight information it requires
by sending a command to report some type of weight or set up a rotation of reported data.

Shared Data
Operational Overview
Modbus Plus PLCs can access the JAGXTREME terminal’s Shared Data. Since the
Modbus Plus communications supports larger size messages, there is not a need for
two separate modes of communication. Modbus Plus PLCs can read JAGXTREME
terminal Shared Data variables, write new values to JAGXTREME terminal Shared Data
variables, and write operator messages on the terminal’s lower display. For Modbus
Plus, the PLC output data had additional fields for accessing Shared Data. The PLC
must specify the Shared Data command and variable name in the PLC output message.
If the command is a write command, then the PLC output message must also contain
the write field value. The maximum length of this value is 20 bytes. When the Shared
Data command is a read command, the PLC input message will have a read field
containing the data from the Shared Data variable specified in the output message. The
maximum length of the data reported in the read field is 20 bytes. The Shared Data
variables are self-typing. The terminal determines the type of any valid data field in the
message from the variable’s name and definition in Shared Data. The terminal will not
allow string data to be written in a floating point variable or visa versa.

Shared Data Input

The input information for the shared data consists of two sections: the shared data
status and the shared data read field value (if requested by the shared data output
command). The shared data status information is a register that contains an integer
value. This integer value represents one of the following status values:
0 Null status
1 Command completed successfully
2 Invalid shared data name
3 Invalid shared data command
Note: Refer to the Shared Data
Reference Guide for a complete 4 Cannot write because field is write-protected (legal for trade)
listing of Shared Data Fields.
5 Cannot access remote JAGXTREME terminal
The shared data read field value contains the value of the shared data variable specified
in the shared data output (from the PLC to the terminal). It is only present when the
command from the shared data output requests read shared data. This value is self-
typing; for example, it could be a floating point number or a string variable. The length
is determined by the variable selected but will exceed 20 bytes. See the tables following
the Shared Data Output section for a list of possible variables and their contents.

Shared Data Output

The output information for the shared data consists of four sections: the shared data
command, the shared data name, the shared data variable name, and the shared data
write value (if required by the shared data output command). The shared data
command information is a register that contains an integer value. This integer value
represents one of the following status values:
0 Null command
1 Read shared data
2 Write shared data
3 Write to JAGXTREME lower display

4-20 (1-03)
 Chapter 4: Modbus Plus Option Card
Data Definition
The JAGXTREME terminal processes a shared data command “on demand” by the PLC.
When a new value is placed in the shared data command register, the terminal will
perform the command issued. The terminal does not provide “real time” information to
the PLC; it supplies a “snapshot’ of the data not an automatic update of new values of
the same shared data command. Instead, the PLC must request the information again
by setting a new value in the shared data command register. To do successive reads,
for example, the PLC must alternate between a “null” command and a “read” command
in the shared data command register. For the most efficient processing, the PLC should
set up the terminal name, the variable name, and the write value (if any) while it is
setting the “null” command. Once that is completed, the PLC can then set the shared
data command to “read” or “write”.
Before sending a command to write to the terminal’s lower display, the PLC must issue
a display mode command in the scale command registers (command 57 for floating
point data; 2nd output register bits 9-11 = on for other data formats) to enable the
terminal to accept commands for its display.

Floating Point and String Data Field Codes

The following charts describe the floating point and string data fields that the
JAGXTREME terminal can access. String data fields are serial ASCII character strings.
Each table contains the following information:
Field Code is the ASCII field that must be loaded into the
PLC write buffer. It identifies the data that is written to the JAGXTREME terminal or
returned by the terminal to the PLC read buffer. The field code is left justified and must
be expanded to six bytes by adding a trailing space. If the field code contains an "n", it
should be replaced by the scale number (1 or 2 for scale A or B) or the setpoint number
(1-8).
Description is a description of the field.
Read/Write indicates whether the PLC can read and/or write to the field.
Length is the number of bytes (length) of the field. All floating point values are 4 bytes
(2 words) long. Strings are the length specified.

 Chapter 4: Modbus Plus Option Card
Hardware Setup

Global Data
The JAGXTREME terminal supports Modbus Plus Global Data as an option. The terminal
writes to Global Data, but never reads Global Data. Global Data from one Modbus Plus
node is continuously available to all other nodes on the network. Use of Global Data
can make programming the PLC simpler since, with this option, the PLC need not
continuously issue commands to read the terminal registers. The PLC must still issue
MSTR commands to send commands to the terminal.
The user selects the Global Data option in the setup menus. When the user selects the
integer data format, the terminal duplicates the integer “terminal-to-PLC” data transfer
registers into the global data. When the user selects the floating point data format, the
terminal duplicates the floating point “terminal-to-PLC” data transfer registers into the
global data.

Controlling the Discrete

I/O Using a PLC Interface
The JAGXTREME terminal provides the ability to directly control its discrete outputs and
read its discrete inputs via the (digital) PLC interface options. System integrators should
be aware that the terminal discrete I/O updates are synchronized with the A/D rate and
not with the PLC I/O scan rate. This may cause a noticeable delay in reading inputs or
updating outputs as observed from the PLC to real world signals.

Hardware Setup

Wiring
The Modbus Plus Option has two possible connections: a D9 connector or a 4-
position removable terminal strip to connect to the Modbus Plus network interface.
Most installations will use the D9 connector. The terminal strip should only be used
in applications where the adapter harness (PN 0900-0320-000), which provides
an external D9 connection for general purpose and harsh environment models, is
required. Cable distance, type, and termination are specified by Modbus Plus.

Troubleshooting
Modbus Plus Option PCB Status Lights
There is a green diagnostic LED on the JAGXTREME terminal Modbus Plus option card,
which is viewable through a small hole in the interface mounting bracket at the rear of
the terminal. The repetitive flashing patterns have the following meanings.
Flash every 160 milliseconds. The terminal node is working normally in that it is
successfully receiving and passing the token. Every node on the link should be flashing
this same pattern.
Flash every one second. The terminal node is in an off-line state where it must monitor
the link for five seconds. During this period, it hears all active nodes on the network and
is building the active station table.
Two flashes, off for two seconds. The terminal node is permanently in an idle, never-
getting-token state. It is hearing the other nodes but is never getting the token itself. This
JAGXTREME terminal node may have a bad transmitter.
Three flashes, off for 1.7 seconds. This terminal node is not hearing any other nodes
so it is periodically claiming and winning the token, and then finding no other node to
send it to. It could be that this is the only node on the link, or that there are other nodes
and this has node a bad receiver or bad network connection. The latter situation could
be disruptive to the entire network.
Four flashes, off for 1.4 seconds. This terminal node has heard a valid packet that was
a duplicate-node-address sent from another node on the network. The node is now in
an off-line state where it will remain passively monitoring the link, until it has not heard
the duplicate node for 5 seconds.

Modsoft Programmer User Manual describes how to use Modsoft. Use 2.32 or a later
version of the Modsoft software. Perform the following steps from Modsoft to read and
write to a terminal on the Modbus Plus network from a Modicon 984-385 PLC:
• With Modsoft running on a PC, go to the Configuration Overview screen and select
the 984-385E PLC.
• Switch to the Configuration Overview - Ports menu, and change the Modbus port to
Bridge mode. This allows commands issued from Modsoft to be transferred to the
Modbus Plus network.
• From the Modsoft main menu, go “on-line” to the 984-385E PLC from Modsoft.
• Once a successful connection has been made, use the MSTR instruction to access
the terminal. The Modicon Ladder Logic Block Library User Guide gives detailed
information about the MSTR instruction.

Module
The routing path in the MSTR command may be different when the Quantum 242 02
PLC has a NOM 211 00 module. Both the NOM 211 00 module and the Quantum 242
02 PLC have Modbus Plus ports. If the terminal connects to the PLC through the
Modbus Plus port on the Quantum 242 02 Controller card, then there is no change to
the routing paths as shown in the examples for a Modicon 984-385E.
If the terminal connects to the PLC though the NOM 211 00 Modbus Plus Port, then the
routing path does change. The slot address of the NOM module in must be provided in
the upper byte of the first register of the routing path. The slot address is the physical
position of the NOM module in the PLC mounting rack.
For example, if the NOM module is in slot 3 and the terminal is at node address 7, the
MSTR command to read the terminal floating point registers for scale 1 and scale 2 is

PLC Custom Interface
JagBASIC applications use Shared Data to communicate custom fields with a PLC in
floating point mode. There are unique Shared Data field names for Scale A and Scale B.
Each status bit is one bit long. The floating point and string fields are each four bytes
long. The PLC and the JagBASIC application define the meaning of the fields. The
JAGXTREME terminal sends the PLC input fields designated as “Real-Time” to the PLC at
every weight update. It sends or receives the other fields only when the PLC specifically
requests them.
The input fields to the PLC from Scale A are:
/s_250 Unsigned Bit Real-Time PLC Custom Status 1 from Scale A
/s_251 Unsigned Bit Real-Time PLC Custom Status 2 from Scale A
/bas18 Floating Point Real-Time Custom Input 1 from Scale A to PLC
/bas19 4 Byte String Real-Time Custom Input 2 from Scale A to PLC
/bas20 Floating Point Custom Input 3 from Scale A to PLC
/bas21 4 Byte String Custom Input 4 from Scale A to PLC
The output fields from the PLC to Scale A are:
/bas14 Floating Point Custom Output 1 to Scale A to PLC
/bas15 4 Byte String Custom Output 2 to Scale A to PLC
/bas16 Floating Point Custom Output 3 to Scale A to PLC
/bas17 4 Byte String Custom Output 4 to Scale A to PLC
The input fields to the PLC from Scale B are:
/s_252 Unsigned Bit Real-Time PLC Custom Status 1 from Scale B
/s_253 Unsigned Bit Real-Time PLC Custom Status 2 from Scale B
/bas26 Floating Point Real-Time Custom Input 1 from Scale B to PLC
/bas27 4 Byte String Real-Time Custom Input 2 from Scale B to PLC
/bas28 Floating Point Custom Input 3 from Scale B to PLC
/bas29 4 Byte String Custom Input 4 from Scale B to PLC
The output fields from the PLC to Scale B are:
/bas22 Floating Point Custom Output 1 to Scale B from PLC
/bas23 4 Byte String Custom Output 2 to Scale B from PLC
/bas24 Floating Point Custom Output 3 to Scale B from PLC
/bas25 4 Byte String Custom Output 4 to Scale B from PLC

JagBASIC to Analog
Output Shared Data
Interface
JagBASIC variables may be used as sources for channel 1, or channel 2, or both
channels. The JagBASIC variable for channel 1 is floating point variable /bas18. The
JagBASIC source variable for channel 2 is floating point variable /bas20. JagBASIC may
be used as a source for one channel and scale source for the other channel.
You must enter the zero and span preset values for the JagBASIC sources in the <Config
Options> <Analog Output> setup menus. You can also trim the zero and span values
for the JagBASIC sources, but the value that you are trimming must be set by a
JagBASIC command before entering setup. This allows you to "calibrate" the Analog
Output card.
For example, if you wish to trim the span value for a JagBASIC source for channel 2,
you must enter the span value into /bas20. Then you can enter setup and use the
Analog Output setup menu to trim the span value.
