Examples for decentralized systems connected by network

On principle, the configuration of decentralized systems connected by network is done in two steps:

• The CPU has to be informed about which couplers are assigned to it (internal and/or external
couplers).

• The couplers have to be informed about which peripheral devices are connected to them.

This is done using the tool SYCON.net (opened via the tab Resources -> Tools -> SYCON.net). This tool
is also used to create the variables lists for the individual peripheral devices. The symbolic names
created therein are directly (online) made available for the programming software. Thus, these created
variables are located in the Global Variables folder.

(use dedicated accessory, e.g. PDA11-FBP.050 which allows connecting a PROFIBUS DP master
with a 9 pins D-Sub and provides power supply for the FBP through a M12 connector).
• Set the slave address of the FBP to 2 with the front rotary switches of the S500 FBP-Interface
module (chosen for this example; see also S500-FBP Getting started).
• Install the AC500 Control Builder programming software for AC500 PLCs

• Install GSD and EDS files
• Connect the programming cable TK501 from the PC to the AC500 PLC
• Review all of the hardware instructions for your specific system to be sure you have completed all of
the required preliminary steps prior to beginning the system configuration with the AC500 Control
Builder programming software.
• Power up the system

transferred to the Global Variables list of the programming software.

Open the Global Variables in the "Resources" tab. Double click on Slot 1 <R>. The previously
configured variables are displayed and available in the programming software.

Testing the system

In order to test the system, we are going to create a small user program according to the procedure used
in the Getting Started example. We are using the ST programming language (structured text). The
program should read an input of the decentralized station (DC505-FBP) and output the value to the
DC532 device located next to the CPU. The output byte %QB0 at DC532 (located next to the CPU) is
named with the symbolic name by_AC500_DC532_Out16_23.

The program looks as follows:

The input byte with the variable name byDps1_S500_DC505_In0_7 (signals I0 to I7 at DC505) is read
and applied to the output byte by_AC500_DC532_Out16_23 (signals C16 to 23 at DC532).

Before starting:
• Use the previous installation instructions to assemble and mount the system, also refer to the
dedicated User's manual of the PROFIBUS DP FBP and AC31 series 90 PLC.
• Make the wiring and provide power supply to the system (process supply) and to the FieldBusPlug
(use dedicated accessory, e.g. PDA11-FBP.050 which allows to connect a PROFIBUS DP master
with a 9-pin D-Sub and provide power supply for the FBP through an M12 connector).
• Set the slave address of the FBP to 1 with the front rotary switches of the S500-FBP module (see
Getting Started with S500-FBP, "Setting the FBP slave address").
• Install the AC1131 programming software for AC31 PLCs
• If you want to configure the fieldbus using the fieldbus configurator software 907 FB 1131, install this
software. As an alternative, you can also use the fieldbus configurator included in the programming
software.
• If you want to use the fieldbus configurator 907 AC 1131 for configuration, copy the PROFIBUS GSD
file ABB_091F.GSD to the folder \Program Files\AC1131\FB1131\Fieldbus\PROFIBUS\GSD. If you
want to configure the fieldbus using the fieldbus configurator included in the programming software,
copy the GSD file to the folder \Program Files\AC1131\Library\PLCConf.
• Connect the PC (COM1) to the AC31 CPU (COM1) using the programming cable 07 SK 90.
• Connect the CPU to the DC505-FBP module via the FieldBusPlug.
• Switch on voltage.
• Perform the steps given in the following instructions.

Variant A: Configuration using the fieldbus configurator included in the
programming software

First, we have to specify the hardware. Click on . Double click the object "PLC
Configuration". Click on "Hardware Configuration". Press the right mouse button. Select "Append
Subelement/DP Master…".

Set the "Card number" in the appearing window. The following rule applies: The slot number (= card
number) can be gathered from the identification number of the CPU. Furthermore, we can also
determine the coupler form the identification number. The following applies:

• GJR5 253x 00 Rxxyz with

y = slot number = card number = 1
z = slot number = card number = 2
• Furthermore, the following code applies to y and z: 2=PROFIBUS DP / 5=DeviceNet / 6=ARCNET /
7=Ethernet / 8=CANopen / 9=Interbus
• For our example: CPU with identification number R0272 -> slot number 1 -> Ethernet; slot number 2
-> PROFIBUS DP
• Since we are using the PROFIBUS coupler in our example, the resulting card number is 2.

Confirm with "OK".

Testing the system
In order to test the system, we are going to create a small user program. We are using the programming
language FBD. The program should read an input of the decentralized station (DC505-FBP) and output
the value at the CPU. The program looks as follows:

The first byte on the DC505-FBP is read at address %IB2.0 and output at the CPU via the address
%QB124 (outputs A62,00 to A62,07).
