PLC Libraries Release 7.1 PLC User Library RTULIB

1 PLC User Library RTULIB

1.1 Purpose
The function block library RTULIB is needed to enable data point transfer between the
PLC function INPUT and OUTPUT data area and SCADA on the RTU560. If not
included in the MULTIPROG wt project, no PLC data processing of data points in the
RTU is possible.

RTULIB includes structured data type and function block definitions. These elements
are consequently adapted to the data type definitions in the RTU firmware and should
not be changed by the user.

This document describes RTULIB Release 7.1 that is used for RTU560 firmware
version 7.1.

Compatibility

RTULIB library release 7.1 is not compatible with older RTU560 firmware versions.
After installation of RTULIB library release 7.1, MULTIPROG wt projects (that are
created using an RTULIB library release below 7.1) maybe have to be adapted and
anyway must be recompiled.

1.2 RTU data point representation

In a MULTIPROG wt project the RTU data points are represented as structured data
types.
The structure elements may be accessed directly using the format:
<I/O variable name>.<structure element>
Example: Using the data type AMI, Voltage01.Value would give access to the
structure element Value of the AMI data point Voltage01, defined before in RTU560
configuration.
Two categories of data types are supported:

• Data point types for monitoring direction

Data type definitions for RTU data points in monitoring
direction (RTU -> Control System)
• Data point types for command direction
Data type definitions for RTU data points in command
direction (Control System -> RTU).

The structured data types include several elements of simple data types that are listed
in the column Type in the tables below.
In principle, if no special remarks are given, the description for a structure element is
meant for local RTU560 I/O use only (basing on the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol).
If data points are intended to be transmitted via a special communication protocol, the
specific interface description applies.

2 Function Blocks RTULIB

There are three categories of function blocks (FBs) in RTULIB:

• Data point input function blocks

to evaluate received data points from SCADA or Control
System if connected to INPUT variables.
• Data point output function blocks
to transmit data points to SCADA or Control System if
connected to OUTPUT variables.
• Utility function blocks
All function blocks that are not directly connectable to data
point types.

The FB category is noted in the sub headline of each function block.

Structure element Type Description
Value INT 16 bit analog value
OV BOOL Overflow
BL BOOL Blocked
SB BOOL Substituted
NT BOOL Not topical
IV BOOL Invalid
TR BOOL Transmitted -> TRUE for one task cycle after
receive
TimeTag Timestamp Time of data point occurrence
COT USINT Cause of transmission
INPUT condition:

When the data point is received, element TR changes from FALSE to TRUE for one
task cycle.

FB function description:

AMI_IN copies the elements of a type AMI input parameter to the corresponding
output parameter.

2.2 AMI_OUT
Data point output function block.

Data type AMI (Analog measured value input), monitoring direction:

Structure element Type Description
Value INT 16 bit analog value
OV BOOL Overflow
BL BOOL Blocked
SB BOOL Substituted
NT BOOL Not topical
IV BOOL Invalid
TR BOOL Transmit: If FALSE->TRUE transition data point is
transmitted
TimeTag Timestamp Time of data point occurrence
COT USINT Cause of transmission
OUTPUT condition:

The data point is transmitted when element TR changes from FALSE to TRUE, or any
of the flags OV .. IV changes compared to the last task cycle.

FB function description:

AMI_OUT copies the input parameter to the corresponding elements of a type AMI
output parameter.

It calculates the transmit condition as follows:

• The value (in %) of the input parameter Threshold is greater

than the absolute change of Value (referred to the max.
value 32767) between two calls of the FB (typically between
two task cycles).
• positive edge (FALSE -> TRUE) is detected at the input
variable Transmit.

If Transmit is set to TRUE permanently, no threshold evaluation is done. If the

transmit condition is fulfilled, the AMI element TR is set.

FB function description:

AMI_TR calculates a transmit condition for an INT value evaluating its change
between two task cycles. The algorithm is the same as used for AMI_OUT. The output
parameter TR is set for one task cycle if one of the following conditions is fulfilled:

• The input parameter Threshold (in %) is greater than the

absolute change of Value (referred to the max. value 32767)
between two calls of the FB (typically between two task
cycles).
• positive edge (FALSE -> TRUE) is detected at the input
variable Transmit.

2.20 CMD_TRIG
Utility function block.

Projects

FB function description:

CMD_TRIG copies the input parameter Trig to the output parameter Output.

FB representation in graphic editor:

FB Parameter:
Parameter Data type Description
Trig BOOL Input signal
Output BOOL = Value of Trig

Remarks:

CMD_TRIG could be (in older versions than RTULIB 5.0!) used for triggering the
transmission of command data points. It set Output to a positive edge in case of any
edge at the Trig input. In older Versions commands were only sent by a FALSE-
>TRUE transition at the EX or SE input.

From RTU560 Firmware Version 5.0 commands are transmitted by any change of EX
or SE input. For compatibility CMD_TRIG has now a bypass function only.

If older MULTIPROG wt projects are used together with RTU560 Firmware Version
5.0, RTULIB Version 5.0 has to be installed and the project has to be re-compiled.
Since CMD_TRIG is useless in that case, it may also be removed!
