1. General
1.1. Introduction
The CCU3/C-MXMB provides a third party interface to a number of MX panels on an MXNet.
The CCU3/C-MXMB connects to the MXNet via a TLI-800 (TPI) interface card using RS232. For a single MX
panel installation, the CCU3/C-MXMB can be connected directly to COM3 of the MX panel FIM (Field Interface
Module) board and the TLI-800 card not used.
Two serial MODBUS interfaces are available on the CCU3/C-MXMB. They can be configured for RS232, RS485
or RS422 operation.
Expansion cards can be added to the CCU3/C-MXMB to provide extra functionality.
• CCU3/E - Supports MODBUS TCP. Up to 4 simultaneous TCP connections are supported.
• CCU3/PB – Supports PROFIBUS and PROFISAFE. In PROFIBUS mode the first 76 bytes (608 bits) of
the submap data is mapped as cyclic input data. The first word of the cyclic output data is mapped as a
command register. Transitions from 0 to 1 in this register trigger global commands broadcast to all the
panels in the network. In PROFISAFE mode the first 71 bytes (568 bits) of submap data is mapped as
F-Input data. The first word of the F-Output data is mapped as a command register. Transitions from 0
to 1 in this register trigger global commands broadcast to all the panels in the network.
• CCU3/IO – Provides general-purpose I/O devices. The CCU3/IO has 4 relays that are controlled via
WRITE commands to the MODBUS map. The relay contacts can be used as inputs to an MX panel or
external equipment. There are also 10 supervised inputs whose status can be read from the MODBUS
map.
The MODBUS map of the CCU3/C-MXMB is configured using the CCU3/C-MXMB Programmer. There are 2
types of MODBUS map available.
• Global Map – The bits for every MX loop point and zone are present in the map at a fixed location.
• Submap – A custom map of bits can be configured by the user to reference addresses in the Global
Map. This allows the user to build a custom map consisting only of the data they require. The submap is
also used as the active map for AUTRONICA, PROFIBUS and PROFISAFE operation. The number of
bits in the submap is constant however the number that can be transferred varies depending on the
protocol.
Protocol Effective Submap Size

Serial MODBUS 5120 bits
MODBUS TCP 5120 bits
AUTRONICA 5120 words
PROFIBUS 608 bits
PROFISAFE 568 bits

For correct installation and protection of the CCU3/C device the CCU3 must
be mounted on an earthed metal plate. This is important for correctly

2.12.1. Operation of LEDs

Each serial port has a Green and a Yellow LED. The green led flashes when data is transmitted on the port.
The yellow LED glows when there has been supervision failure on the port or it is unable to make a
connection. If a port has been disabled in the software then neither LED will indicate.
Com 1 (Connection to MXNet):

• Green LED flashes to indicate Data Transmission.
• Yellow LED indicates Supervision failure.
Com 2 (Host PC connection):

• Yellow LED is not used.
Com 3 (MODBUS connection):

Com 4 (MODBUS connection):

2.12.2. Supervision Relay

The supervision relay on the CCU3/C-MXMB main board is used to indicate a problem with a configured
interface. This can optionally be connected to an input on the MX for annunciation of the interface fault.
If a PROFIBUS/PROFISAFE interface has been configured then the relay will energise when the PROFIBUS
connection is not online and exchanging data.
If no PROFIBUS/PROFISAFE interface has been configured then the relay will energise in the event of a
supervision failure of a MODBUS interface.
2.12.3. CCU3/PB PROFIBUS Card LEDs

Two LEDs provide information on the state of the PROFIBUS interface.
• Green LED flashing - The interface is configured but not yet connected.
• Green LED on - The connection is online and in the data exchange state
• Yellow LED flashing – The CCU3/C-MXMB is halted due to a PROFISAFE error condition.
• Yellow LED on – The PROFIBUS module is not responding to the CCU3.

3. MXMB Operation
The CCU3/C-MXMB provides a third party interface to a number of MX panels on an MXNet.
The currently supported protocols are serial MODBUS, MODBUS TCP, PROFIBUS and PROFISAFE.
Serial MODBUS is always available on the CCU3/C-MXMB. The other protocols are automatically enabled when
the appropriate expansion card is configured. Addition of a CCU3/E enables MODBUS TCP; addition of a
CCU3/PB enables PROFIBUS and PROFISAFE.
3.1. MODBUS TCP

Addition of a CCU3/E expansion card enables MODBUS TCP. You will need to configure the IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway for the Ethernet interface.
There is also an option to change the word order in the MODBUS TCP packets.
The CCU3/E card also supports timekeeping. The CCU3/E-MXMB is able to update its time from a network
SNTP Server. If it has been set as a timekeeper this time will be broadcast to the MX Network.
3.2. PROFIBUS and PROFISAFE

Addition of a CCU3/PB expansion card enables PROFIBUS or PROFISAFE operation.
All PROFIBUS/PROFISAFE data is mapped through the submap. While the other areas of the memory map are
still present in the MXMB, they are not accessible to the PROFIBUS/PROFISAFE protocols. The required
PROFIBUS/PROFISAFE map must be manually configured into the submap. The size of the data that can be
mapped is limited by the protocol selected. The Standard memory map should be selected in the MXMB.
In PROFIBUS mode the submap data is mapped as cyclic input data. The data is limited to 76 bytes (608 bits).
The first word of the cyclic output data is mapped as a command register. Transitions from 0 to 1 in this register
trigger global commands broadcast to all the panels in the network.

Table 26 PROFIBUS and PROFISAFE Command Bits
In PROFISAFE mode the submap data is mapped as F-Input data. The data is limited to 71 bytes (568 bits). The
first word of the F-Output data is mapped as a command register. Transitions from 0 to 1 in this register trigger
global commands broadcast to all the panels in the network. The bit definitions are the same as PROFIBUS.

All Rights Reserved
3.3. AUTRONICA Mode.

In this mode the operation of the CCU3 changes to a mode compatible with AUTRONICA panels. The submap
is organised as 5120 registers. Each register stores an integer value representing the current device state of one
point.
Value Device State

1 Normal
3 Alarm/Fire
5 Pre Alarm
7 Trouble
8 Isolate
Table 27 AUTRONICA Device States
The global map is not accessible in this mode.
3.4. MIPLOC Mode.

In this mode the CCU emulates a Minerva MIPLOC interface. This allows a Minerva / MIPLOC site to be
upgraded to MX / CCU3 without requiring reprogramming of the PLC. In MIPLOC mode the CCU operates as a
MODBUS master updating the registers in the PLC using the defined submap. Use of the submap allows any
differences between the MX and Minerva loops to be catered for. The MIPLOC had some reserved registers for
doing panel commands, MIPLOC status, panel time/date, etc. These are carried across in the CCU submap,
though only some are implemented. The reserved registers cannot be removed from the submap. See the
MIPLOC chapter of this document for more information.
3.5. MX Door / Dampers.

If the MX panel has been programmed in Consys to broadcast its Door/Damper status then the Alarm bit for a
loop point will be set when the Door/Damper is activated. The MX panel Door/Damper status will not be used to
set the panel and global common register Alarm bit.

All Rights Reserved
3.6. MODBUS Map Options

The MODBUS map consists of two sections. The global map is a fixed map containing a block of registers for
each MX panel configured in the system. The configurable submap mirrors bits from the global map. This allows
the user to define a map containing only the bits required by the MODBUS master. This will improve the
response of the system and may also simplify the programming of the MODBUS master.
The MXMB Map Type options change the structure and functioning of the global map and the submap.
• Standard Mode – Operates as a standard CCU3/C-MXMB. The submap is a simple collection of bits
mapped from the fixed map. Each bit in the submap represents the state of one device event. For
example, bit 10 is the alarm state of a point 01-A005. The CCU operates as a MODBUS slave.
• CCU2 Compatibility Mode – In this mode the CCU3/C-MXMB has the same submap and global map
format as the CCU2/C-MXMB, allowing the CCU3 to be a drop-in replacement for a CCU2. When
swapping from “Standard mode” to this option, the program automatically recalculates all of the memory
map positions and bit numbers for the global map and submap, without clearing the submap. The CCU
operates as a MODBUS slave.
• AUTRONICA Mode – Changes the submap to a mode compatible with AUTRONICA panels. The
submap is organised as one word register for each point, each register stores an integer value
representing the current device state. The global map is not accessible in this mode. The CCU operates
as a MODBUS slave.
• MIPLOC Mode – In MIPLOC mode the CCU operates as a MODBUS master updating the registers in
the PLC using the defined submap. The MIPLOC reserved registers are carried across in the CCU
submap, though only some are implemented. These reserved registers cannot be removed from the
submap.
If PROFIBUS or PROFISAFE operation is selected then the Standard map should be used.

All Rights Reserved
4. Standard Mode MODBUS Map
4.1. Map Overview

The fixed map contains a block of 1024 registers (16384 bits) for each MX panel configured in the system. The
CCU3/C-MXMB is limited to 32 panels.
The submap contains 320 registers (5120 bits). The submap is configurable. Each bit in the submap can mirror
any bit in the global map.
The MODBUS functions Read Coil Status (1), Read Input Status (2) and Force Multiple Coils (15) address the
memory as individual bits. The maximum address is 65535 so the master can only directly address the map for
2 MX panels. The submap can be used to work around this restriction.
The MODBUS functions Read Input Registers (4) and Set Multiple Registers (16) address the memory as word
registers so the master will be able to directly address the map for all 32 panels.
CCUioNET devices (CCU/I or CCU/IOs) can be connected to the CCU3/C-MXMB to provide supervised inputs
and relay outputs.

Communication between PLC, MX CCU and MX panel is as follows:-

1/ The PLC checks the CAR request done bit in the MX CCU and waits until it is cleared.
2/ The PLC sends its point data or isolate request to the registers of the MX CCU.
3/ The MX CCU checks if it is a valid request and then sends the request to the MX panel.
4/ The MX panel processes the request and replies to the MX CCU.
5/ The MX CCU stores the reply in the reply register, then sets the CAR request done bit.
6/ The PLC then reads the reply to its request.
7/ The PLC then sends a “Null” command to instruct the MX CCU to clear the command done bit.
8/ The MX CCU process the “Null” command and clears the command done bit.
The isolate/de-isolate reply packet confirms that the panel has carried out the request. PLCs can check the
isolate status by reading the appropriate isolate bit.
The reply to the point data request will contain all the relevant information required by the PLC for the

5. CCU2 Compatibility Mode Map
5.1. Map Overview

The fixed map contains a block of 512 registers (8192 bits) for each MX panel configured in the system. The
CCU3/C-MXMB is limited to 32 panels.
The submap contains 320 registers (5120 bits). The submap is configurable. Each bit in the submap can mirror
any bit in the global map.
The MODBUS functions Read Coil Status (1), Read Input Status (2) and Force Multiple Coils (15) address the
memory as individual bits. The maximum address is 65535 so the master can only directly address the map for
6 MX panels. The submap can be used to work around this restriction.
The MODBUS functions Read Input Registers (4) and Set Multiple Registers (16) address the memory as word
registers so the master will be able to directly address the map for all 32 panels.
CCUioNET devices (CCU/I or CCU/IOs) can be connected to the CCU3/C-MXMB to provide supervised inputs
and relay outputs.

5.2.8. Command Acknowledge Register (CAR)

This register contains control bits that are required so that the PLC can initiate point data requests and also
perform device isolations.

Bit 0 Point data request done
Bit 1-7 Global bits not used
Bit 8 Isolate request done
Bit 9 - 15 Reserved
Table 56: Command Acknowledge Register Bits
Communication between PLC, MX CCU and MX panel is as follows:-

1/ The PLC checks the CAR request done bit in the MX CCU and waits until it is cleared.
2/ The PLC sends its point data or isolate request to the registers of the MX CCU.
3/ The MX CCU checks if it is a valid request and then sends the request to the MX panel.
4/ The MX panel processes the request and replies to the MX CCU.
5/ The MX CCU stores the reply in the reply register, then sets the CAR request done bit.
6/ The PLC then reads the reply to its request.
7/ The PLC then sends a “Null” command to instruct the MX CCU to clear the command done bit.
8/ The MX CCU process the “Null” command and clears the command done bit.
The isolate/de-isolate reply packet confirms that the panel has carried out the request. PLCs can check the
isolate status by reading the appropriate isolate bit.
The reply to the point data request will contain all the relevant information required by the PLC for the
appropriate point.

network.
The tables below list the data as it appears in this area for MX Speak V2,3,4 and 5. The message format is
slightly different to that for MX Speak 1 (Appendix B). Bytes 21 and 22 have been changed to reserved and byte

6.3. Watchdog Heartbeat

This feature enables the PLC to monitor the health of the MXMB and the link to it. The PLC should examine the
Watchdog bit in the MIPLOC Status word that is toggled by MXMB every 20 seconds. If after 20 seconds the
Watchdog bit in the MIPLOC Status word has been left in the same condition, either the MXMB has stopped
functioning or the serial link is faulty.
6.4. New Event Bit

This bit is set by the MXMB when a point bit in the MIPLOC map changes. The bit is set after the changed
registers in the PLC have been written. This bit is not set when a point configured as a door/damper changes
however.
This bit is cleared by the Reset New Event Bit command from the PLC. After this command has completed the
PLC should check the New Event bit again. This is to cover the situation where another event has occurred
immediately after the new event bit was cleared.

7. Configuring the MODBUS Map

The MODBUS map must be configured using the CCU3/C-MXMB Programmer. The program allows the user to
add MX panels and CCU3 IO devices into the Global Map.
A useful feature is the ability to make a submap of up to 5120 bits from the bits in the global map. This allows the
user to mirror bits from the global map in the submap. For instance, bit 8345 in the global map may be mapped
to bit 0 in the submap. This gives the user flexibility in the layout of the MODBUS map.
7.1. Installing The CCU3-MXMB Setup Program

Running the Setup.exe application will install the MXMB Setup program to Program Files\TEPG\CCU3-MXMB. A
shortcut is added into the Start menu under Programs | Tyco | MXMB Programmer.
7.2. The CCU3-MXMB Setup Program

Each CCU3/IO expansion card has 10 inputs and 4 relays.
Each input can be set to either disabled or supervised Input. Each relay can be set either disabled or relay.
The sense of all CCU3/IO inputs and outputs is configurable, to operate in either normal or reversed mode. In
normal mode, the relay outputs read set when the relays are energised; in reversed mode, they would read
cleared for this case. In normal mode the ‘active’ bit is set for a normal input, in reversed mode the ‘active’ bit is
cleared for a normal input. The ‘input fault’ bit is not affected by the normal or reverse modes.
7.2.4.3. Configuring CCU3/E

Click on CCU3/Eth card from the Expansion Cards, you’ll see IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Please
contact IT system administrator to get these details.

7.2.5. The Submap Setup Page

The submap is a custom map which is configured by the user to reference addresses in the Global Map. This
allows the user to build a custom map consisting only of the data they require. The submap is also used as the
active map for AUTRONICA, PROFIBUS and PROFISAFE operation. The number of bits in the submap is
constant however the number that can be transferred varies depending on the protocol.
The user selects which bits to add to the submap from the global map and the order in which they are arranged.
The submap may include any bits from the global map including CCU3/IO bits.
To add bits to a submap go to the Submap page, by clicking on the Submap tab at the top of the window (see
figure 30). To add a bit to a submap find the bit that you wish to add in the Global map on the left hand side of
the screen. Remember you can expand and collapse branches by clicking the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ signs. Select the bit then
the click Add button. The bit should appear in the submap on the right-hand side of the screen. If the Add button
is ‘greyed out’ then a valid bit has not been selected.
Blank bits or unused addresses may be added to the submap by adding the Unused Entry in the Global Map
Tree to the submap or clicking the Unused button.
To remove a bit from the submap select the bit from the submap on the right-hand side of the screen and then
press the Remove button. The bit should disappear from the submap.
It is possible to add the same bit to the submap more than once. Change the position of entries in the submap
by dragging them to the desired location.

7.2.6. The PTP Interface Setup Page

These settings are used for the communication between the MX panel and the CCU3/C-MXMB. The Network
Address must be set to the jumper address of the TLI-800 and the rest of the settings set to match the network.
For further information and help with these settings refer to publication number 19700344 Network Interface
Module and to MXSpeak Reference Guide for Advanced Third Party Interface Applications.
It is recommended that the default settings displayed when the program is first run should be used. These are
the default settings used in MXConsys.
ATTN: These parameters must be identical for all nodes on the MXNet. Also the Network Peer Limit value
must be set to equal or exceed the number of nodes on the network.

7.2.7. The Modbus Interface Setup Page

The CCU3/C-MXMB is connected to the MODBUS as a slave device and therefore requires a MODBUS
address.
The reply delay is the time between the master’s MODBUS request and the answer from the CCU3/C-
MXMBMB. This delay gives the master time to turn off its transmitter when RS485 is being used.
The baud rate and parity of the MODBUS communications is also specified here.
MODBUS Interface 0

7.2.8. The Other Options Setup Page
Figure 16: Other Options Setup Page
SNTP – A CCU3/E-MXMB is able to update its time from a network SNTP Server. A CCU3/E plug-in board and
an Ethernet connection are required. If the CCU3/E-MXMB has been set as a timekeeper this time will be
broadcast to the MX Network.
MODBUS TCP – Sets the word order in MODBUS packets sent over TCP when an Ethernet connection is used.
MXMB Options: Map Type – This option changes the structure and functioning of the submap. Changing this
option causes a short delay while the map is rebuilt.
• Standard Mode – Operates as a standard CCU3/C-MXMB. The submap is a simple collection of bits
mapped from the fixed map. Each bit in the submap represents the state of one device event. For
example, bit 10 is the alarm state of a point 01-A005.
• AUTRONICA Mode – Changes the submap to a mode compatible with AUTRONICA panels. The
submap is organised as one word register for each point, each register stores an integer value
representing the current device state.
Value Device State

1 Normal
3 Alarm/Fire
5 Pre Alarm
7 Trouble
8 Isolate
• MIPLOC Mode – The CCU emulates a Minerva MIPLOC interface. This allows for a Minerva / MIPLOC
site to be upgraded to MX / CCU3 without requiring reprogramming of the PLC. In MIPLOC mode the
CCU operates as a MODBUS master updating the registers in the PLC using the defined submap. Use
of the submap will allow any differences between the MX and Minerva loops to be catered for. The
MIPLOC had some reserved registers for doing panel commands, MIPLOC status, panel time/date,etc.
These are carried across in the CCU submap, though only some are implemented. The reserved

All Rights Reserved
registers cannot be removed from the submap. See the MIPLOC chapter of this document for more
information.
• CCU2 Compatibility Mode - Setting this option changes the CCU3/C-MXMB to have a similar submap
and global map format to the CCU2/C-MXMB, allowing the CCU3 to be a drop-in replacement for a
CCU2. When swapping from “Standard mode” to this option, the program automatically recalculates all
of the memory map positions and bit numbers for the global map and submap, without clearing the
submap.
MXMB Options: Latch Points in Alarm – Select this option to latch point alarms into the CCU3/C-MXMB. The
alarm bit will only clear when the panel is reset, not when the point clears.
MXMB Options: Pointmap Status Bit Use – This defines the use of the status bit in the MX panel pointmap. The
options are:
• Pre-Alarms – The status bit indicates point prealarms.

• Door/Damper - The status bit indicates Door/Damper status. When this option is NOT selected
Door/Damper status is indicated with the active (alarm) bit. Note that for Door/Damper states to be
available Door/Damper pointmap broadcast must be enabled in Consys.
• Window Fault - When enabled WINDOW FAULT (233) event messages set the point status bit in
addition to the point fault bit. This setting is mainly for compatibility with MIPLOC systems that used this
setting.
MXMB Options: Zonemap Status Bit Use – This defines the use of the status bit in the MX panel zonemap. The
options are:
• Pre-Alarms – The status bit indicates zone prealarms.

• Gas Alerts – The status bit reflects the values from the MX panel zone status message.
MIPLOC Options – These settings only apply when the CCU is in MIPLOC mode.
• PLC Base Register Address - the address in the PLC where the MIPLOC table starts.
• TCP Connection to PLC - Check to use a TCP connection to the PLC from the CCU. Edit boxes appear
when this box is checked to allow entry of the IP addresses of up to four PLC hosts.
• MIPLOC Map Type - There are 4 default MIPLOC submap formats and a fifth option of “Custom” for a
user defined map. Note that these options require a MX fire panel to be added before they can generate
the submap. If multiple MX panels have been added, the default MIPLOC submaps all use the first MX
panel. Changing this option causes a delay while the map is rebuilt.

8.1. MODBUS Communication Parameters

19200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits,1 stop bit.
8.2. MODBUS Commands

The CCU3/C-MXMB connects to a MX MODBUS as a slave. The MODBUS master may use any of the
following 4 MODBUS commands:
Code Description
1 Read Coil Status
2 Read Input Status
4 Read Input Registers
15 Force Multiple Coils
16 Preset Multiple Registers

All Rights Reserved
8.2.1. Read Coil Status (01)

Read Coil Status reads the ON/OFF status of discrete output from the MODBUS map.
An example of Read Coil Status command:
Field Example
MODBUS Address 5
MODBUS Function 1
Starting Address Hi 0
Starting Address Low 18
Number of Points Hi 0
Number of Points Low 37
CRC16 (Low) ???
CRC16 (High) ???
This command is to request to read coils 18 to 55 from the MODBUS 5.

The ‘Starting MODBUS bit address’ is always rounded down to its byte boundary and so the number of bytes
returned will encompass the number of bits requested. Hence the bits are returned on their byte boundary (i.e.
bit positions within the bytes are as their appear in the MODBUS map).
An example of reply message for Read Coil Status command is shown below. 1 indicates ON, 0 indicates OFF.
Field Example
MODBUS Address 5
MODBUS Function 1
Number of bytes returned 5
Data (Coils 23-16) CD 1100 1101
Data (Coils 31-24) 6B 0110 1011
Data (Coils 39-32) B2 1011 0010
Data (Coils 47-40) 1E 0001 1110
Data (Coils 52-48) 1B 0001 1011
CRC16 (Low) ???
CRC16 (High) ???
If returned coils are not a multiple of 8, the remaining bits are padded with zeros. The status of coils 23 to 16 is
1100 1101, which means Coil 16 is ON, Coil 17 is OFF, … Coil 23 is ON.
Coil 53, 54 and 55 are not requested but zero padded to fill 8 bit data.

All Rights Reserved
8.2.2. Read Input Status (02)

Read Input Status reads a range of bits from the MODBUS map. This command can read up to 65535 bits
starting at any address range from 0 to 65535 in the MODBUS map. This command is used to read from the
Global MODBUS on the CCU3/C-MXMB.
The byte fields of this command type are as follows:

5. CRC16 (Low byte)
returned will encompass the number of bits requested. Hence the bits are returned on their byte boundary (i.e.
bit positions within the bytes are as their appear in the MODBUS map).
The status of the returned bits is indicated as: 1 = ON; 0 = OFF.
Note: If the number of bits returned does not divide evenly into eight then the remaining bits, front and back
padding, will reflect the status of those bits with the same remaining valid addresses in the Global MODBUS
map.

NB. CRC16 must be calculated using the appropriate formula by the MODBUS master and added in
the last word position (it takes up 2 bytes).
This command will read 0012hex (18 decimal) bits from MODBUS device 5 starting at MODBUS address
01BFhex (447 decimal).
The CCU3/C-MXMB will return the bits from address 01BFhex to 01D1hex. Address 01BF is eighth bit in the
56th byte hence the starting byte returned is the 56th byte therefore the address of the first bit returned is
01B8hex. The bits are packed into bytes in the reply message. The first data byte of the reply contains the bits of
the lowest 8 addresses, with the lowest or first address being represented by the LSB (Least Significant Bit).

8.2.7. Calculating CRC16

Step 1 - Start with a 16-bit register set to FFFF hex. Call this the CRC16 register.
Step 2 - Exclusive OR the first eight-bit byte of the message with the low byte of the CRC16 register, putting the
result in the CRC16 register.
Step 3 - Shift the CRC16 register one bit to the right, shifting in a zero for the MSB.
Step 4 - If the LSB in the CRC16 register is 0, repeat Step 3. If the LSB is 1, Exclusive OR the CRC16 register
with A001 hex (1010 0000 0000 0001).
Step 5 - Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete eight-bit
byte will have been processed.
Step 6 - Repeat Steps 2 ... 5 for the every byte in the message.

8.3. Point Information Request

The ‘Point Information Request’ registers in the CCU are located at the address positions as specified in the
section 4.2.14. Error! Reference source not found.. That is, at offset address 789 in each of the panel bits the
’Point Information Request’ bits start.
NOTE: When performing a write to the MODBUS the data sent to the CCU must be in Lo-Hi byte format. Hence
when writing to the ‘Point Information Request’ addresses be sure to send the data to be written as it would
appear in the registers (from register 789 to register 812, Lo-Hi).
8.4. Isolate De-isolate Request

As with the ‘Point Information Request’ the ‘Isolate De-isolate Request’ is written to the CCU in the same
fashion, Lo-Hi byte. However, the starting address of the ‘Isolate De-isolate Request’ data is at 783.
8.5. CCU Timekeeping

There are two ways to configure the MXNet timekeeping with reference to the CCU3/C-MXMB. The first is to
configure one of the panels on the MXNet to be timekeeper. Once the time has been set correctly on this panel it
will broadcast the time and date to the MXNet and all nodes on the net will use its time to keep time (including
the CCU). The second way is to enable the CCU as timekeeper. On power up the CCU has a default time and
date that will be used if configured as the timekeeper. In order to set the correct time and date set the
appropriate bits in the time and date registers, in the MODBUS map, and the CCU will set its own time to this
and use this time to perform timekeeping on the MXNet. Please see section 4.2.5. of this document for date and
time format.

9. Example CCU3/C-MXMB Setup

This section will step through an example configuration. The example configuration will map five devices
(labelled ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘E’):
• 3 x MX panels connected to the MXNET (‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’).
• 2 x CCU/IO boards on the CCUioNET (‘D’ and ‘E’)
The MODBUS map that we will require for this example project will list all of the zone alarms (excluding zone 0,
the system zone) of the three MX panels in the start of the address map. Leave some blank addresses and then
have all of the active bits from CCU/IO ‘D’. Next we will have 8 more blank addresses then active bits from
CCU/IO from CCU/IO ‘E’.

9.1. Add the MX Panels

Our example system has three MX panels, ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’. To add a panel press the Add button or select
Edit | Add from the Main Menu. The MXNet Address box must be filled in with the address of the MX panel
on the MXNet. Press OK. If you have already entered a panel with this address an error message will be
displayed, otherwise the new MX should be listed in the MX Panel Tree on the left hand side of the screen.
You may need to expand the tree to see the node, to do this press the ‘+’ next to ‘Global Map’. To add a
description to this panel double-click on the panel in the MX Panel Tree.
Add MX panel ‘B’ and ‘C’ in a similar way.
9.2. Add the CCU/IO Nodes

Our example system has two CCU/IO nodes- the CCU/IO-485 boards ‘D’ and ‘E’. To add a node press the
Add button or select Edit | Add from the Main Menu. The new CCU/IO node should be listed in the CCU/IO
Devices Tree on the left hand side of the screen. You may need to expand the tree to see the node, to do
this press the ‘+’ next to ‘CCU devices’. To add a description to this node so it is not confused with other
nodes double-click on the node in the CCU/IO Devices Tree. The node number in the CCU/IO Devices
Tree should match the address on the CCU/IO board. So CCU/IO board ‘D’ has address 1 on the
CCUioNET.
Add CCU/IO board ‘E’ in a similar way.
9.3. Set up the Submap

At this stage, the Global Map is completely set up. Now all that is left is to create a submap of points that are
useful to us from the global map.
9.3.1. Adding the MX Zone Alarms to the Submap

The appropriate bits from the Global Map must be added to the submap in the desired order. For us, this means
that Panel ‘A’ Zone Alarm 1 should be added first. To do this open the Submap page and expand the MX Panel
Devices Tree to be able to see the Zone Alarm 1. It should come under Global Map – MX ( Device ‘A’ ) – Zones
– Zone 1. Select Alarm Zone 1 by clicking on it. The Add button should change so it is no longer ‘greyed out’.
Click the Add button, the bit should appear in the submap on the right-hand side of the screen. Repeat this for
all of the Zone Alarms on all three MX panels, making sure that they stay in order in the submap.

All Rights Reserved
9.3.2. Adding the Blank Addresses to the Submap

In the course of laying out a submap often there are addresses that are not needed or used and so are left
blank. To do this select Unused Entry from the MX Panel Devices Tree and press Add to add it to the submap.
As many unused addresses as are required may be added to the submap. However, unused bits still take up
space in the submap.
Add the desired 16 unused bits to the example project.

All Rights Reserved
9.3.3. Adding the CCU/IO Active Bits to the Submap

The CCU/IOs have two bits for every input on the board. One indicates a supervision fault on the input and the
other indicates that the input has been set to its active state. For the example project the eight Active bits of
CCU/IO ‘D’ and ‘E’ are added to the submap with eight blank spaces between them.
To add the Active bits to the example project expand the Global Map Tree to be able to see the Input Active
Node 1 Device. It should come under Global Map – CCUioNET Nodes – Node 1 (Device ‘D’) – Node 1 Device 1
– Input Active Node 1 Device. Select Input Active Node 1 Device by clicking on it. The Add button should
change so it is no longer ‘greyed out’. Click the Add button, the bit should appear in the submap on the right-
hand side of the screen. Repeat this for all of the Active bits on the CCU/IO, making sure that they stay in order
in the submap.
Add eight unused (blank) bits.
Add the eight Active bits for CCU/IO ‘E’.

9.4. Setup the PTP Interface

Set the Network Address to match the jumper address of the TLI-800 and the rest of the settings to match the
settings you used in your MXConsys setup.
It is recommended that the default settings displayed when the program is first run should be used. These are
the default settings used in MXConsys.
For further information and help with these settings refer to publication number 19700344 Network Interface
Module and to MXSpeak Reference Guide for Advanced Third Party Interface Applications.
9.5. Setup the MODBUS Interface

Set your MODBUS address and baud rate.
9.6. Setup the Other Options

Select which network protocol you are using.

All Rights Reserved
9.7. Save the Project and Program the CCU3/C-MXMB

Now both the global map and the submap are totally set up. Before programming the CCU3/C-MXMB it is a
good idea to save your work, so that it can be used again at a later date, or for reference purposes.
9.7.1. Saving
To save all of the information that has been entered so far press the Save button or select File | Save from the
Main Menu. To restore it at a later date press the Load button or select File | Load from the Main Menu.
9.7.2. Programming
Connect the CCU3/C-MXMB to the computer using a CCU3 Prog cable provided from the desired com port of
the computer to Port 1 on the CCU3/C-MXMB.
Before programming is commenced the comport must be set in the CCU3-MXMB Programmer program to the
port that the CCU3/C-MXMB is connected to. To do this select Update | Programming Options from the Main
Menu.
Select Update | Data only from the Main Menu. Programming should commence and once all of the lines have
been sent a success message should be displayed.

10.Testing the Configuration

Once the configuration has been downloaded to the CCU it can be tested using the supplied test application modbus.exe. To use this program the CCU and
panels must be on the MXNet with all of the relevant cabling installed.
The File | Open menu allows the MXMB file that was saved in the CCU3-MXMB Programmer program to be opened. Locate the MXMB file and open it.
Go to Settings | Communications to setup the comport you are using.
When the communication is set, press Enable. Then you can go to Communications page to see packets transmitting and receiving. Each of the tab sheets
display the bits in the map that are being polled at present.
The different sections of the map have been separated into different pages in the window. To identify a bit which is activated in the map move your mouse over the
bit and the name will be displayed in the status bar on the bottom of the window. This will work with all of the bits in each of the tab windows.
