Bulletin 1203-Gk5
Bulletin 1336-Gm5
Single Parameter Read And Write
APPLICATION NOTE JUNE 24, 1997

PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for wiring and control schemes for SCANport devices including
Bulletin 1305 and 1336 PLUS AC Drives. This document is a suggestion only. Users must ensure that installations meet
applicable codes and are suitable for the existing conditions.

WHAT THIS NOTE CONTAINS

This document contains information and examples of a PLC-5 ladder program to perform single parameter reads and
writes using the 1771-SDN and 1203-GK5 or 1336-GM5. For information on reading or writing multiple parameter values
and links refer to the application note titled “Scattered Read and Write”.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This application note should be used by personnel familiar with the hardware components and programming procedures
necessary to operate DeviceNet and SCANport devices. It is also assumed that the user has some familiarity with the
PLC-5, 1771-SDN scanner and ladder programming.

WHERE IT IS USED
The diagrams, parameter settings and auxiliary hardware used in this application note are designed to address specific
issues in many different applications. Some changes by the user may be necessary to apply the concepts of this
document to a specific application.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

BTR - Block Transfer Read
BTW - Block Transfer Write
Datalink - a pointer used by some SCANport devices to allow parameters to be mapped to adapter I/O.
EEPROM - the memory that stores drive parameters when power is not applied.
Explicit Messaging - a DeviceNet messaging standard.
Parameter Read - a method of reading a single parameter.
Parameter Write - a method of writing a single parameter.
Scattered Read - a method of reading multiple parameters or links in any order.
Scattered Write - a method of writing multiple parameters or links in any order.

DESCRIPTION
These examples use a PLC-5, a 1771-SDN DeviceNet scanner and a 1203-GK5 to read and write parameter values in a
SCANport device. For clarity, only one transaction is active at any time in these examples.
The first program will execute a BTW and a BTR under manual control to perform a parameter read or write depending on
the information contained in the BTW data file.
The second program will execute a BTW and then execute multiple BTR’s until the DeviceNet message completes.
Complex applications may require additional block transfers to poll the DeviceNet scanner to check for message
completion and may have multiple active transactions.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
These example ladder programs were written to be simple and clear examples of DeviceNet messaging. They contain no
error handling. Consult the PLC-5, 1771-SDN and 1203-GK5 manuals for more information.
Explicit messages will complete faster if the 1771-SDN scanner is first placed in the idle mode. This may be worthwhile if
the application requires reading or writing a large number of parameters in the SCANport device (e.g., configuring a drive
system for a different product).
Using explicit messaging to make frequent changes to a parameter will eventually result in the failure of the SCANport
device’s EEPROM (if so equipped). If an application requires frequent changes of only a few parameters, the parameters
should be written using the adapter’s Datalink function since this does not cause EEPROM writes to occur.

PARAMETER OBJECT
The 1203-GK5 and 1336-GM5 DeviceNet to SCANport bridges with FRN1.6 or later firmware can read a parameter from
any SCANport product with a single DeviceNet message. The message uses the standard DeviceNet Parameter Object
which has a class code of 15 (0Fh).
The 1203-GK5 and 1336-GM5 support the following DeviceNet messages:
Service Class Instance Attribute Data Description
0Eh 0Fh 0 Attrib # Read Attribute specified for the Parameter Object
0Eh 0Fh Parm # Attrib # Read Attribute specified for the Parameter specified

10h 0Fh Parm # 1 Value Write a value to Parameter specified

01h 0Fh Parm # 0 Read all Attributes for Parameter specified

4Bh 0Fh Parm # Value / Read Enum String for specified value or bit number of

There are four scaling formulae -- two for use with extended precision scaling and two for normal scaling. The decimal
precision variable is always used to locate the decimal point for a display by counting from the rightmost digit. In extended
precision scaling the decimal precision variable is also used in the scaling formula.

HOW TO FORMAT THE EXPLICIT MESSAGE TRANSACTION BLOCK

Ten 32-word transaction blocks within the scanner module are reserved for Explicit Message Program Control. The
transaction blocks accommodate both the download of Explicit Message Requests and the upload of Explicit Message
Responses.
The scanner module can accommodate one request or response for each transaction block and can transfer two blocks
for each upload and download. You must format each transaction block as shown:

Format of 64-word Block Transfer Format of 64-word Block Transfer

Write for Explicit Message Request Read for Explicit Message Response

Transaction Blocks are divided into two parts:

• transaction header - contains information that identifies the transaction to the scanner and processor
• transaction body - in a request, this contains the DeviceNet Class, Instance, Attribute and Service Data portion of the
transaction. In a response, this contains only the response message.

Each of the data attributes in the transaction header are one byte in length:
• COMMAND - for each download, a command code instructs the scanner how to administer the request:
Command Code Description
0 Ignore transaction block (block empty)
1 Execute this transaction block
2 Get status of transaction TXID
3 Reset all client/server transactions
4-255 Reserved
•
• STATUS - for each upload, the status code provides the processor with status on the device and its response:

Status Code Description

0 Ignore transaction block (block empty)
1 Transaction completed successfully
2 Transaction in progress (not ready)
3 Error - slave not in scan list
4 Error - slave off-line
5 Error - DeviceNet port disabled or off-line
6 Error - transaction TXID unknown
7 Unused
8 Error - Invalid command code
9 Error - Scanner out of buffers
10 Error - Other client/server transaction in progress
11 Error - could not connect to slave device
12 Error - response data too large for block
13 Error - invalid port
14 Error - invalid size specified
15 Error - connection busy
16-255 Reserved

• TXID Transaction ID - when you create and download a request to the scanner, the processor's ladder logic
program assigns a TXID to the transaction. This is a one-byte integer in word 31 the range of 1 to 255. The scanner
uses this value to track the transaction to completion, and returns the value with the response that matches the
request downloaded by the processor. The ladder logic program monitors rollover and usage of TXID values.
• SIZE The size of the transaction body in bytes. The transaction body can be up to 29 words (58 bytes) in
length. If the size exceeds 29 words, an error code will be returned.
• PORT The DeviceNet port where the transaction is routed. The port can be zero (Channel A) or one (Channel
B).

• MAC ID The DeviceNet network address of the slave device where the transaction is sent. This value can range
from 0 to 63. The port and MAC ID attributes coupled together identify the target slave device. The slave device must
be listed in the scanner module's scan list and be on-line for the Explicit Message transaction to be completed.
• SERVICE The service attribute contains the service request and response codes that match the corresponding
request for the TXID.

HOW THE PROCESSOR AND SCANNER MODULE MANAGE MESSAGES

Block transfer operations between the processor and the scanner always originate in the processor. The scanner module
can only wait for the processor to download a transaction block to the module or request an upload of a transaction block
from the module.
Once an Explicit Message Request transaction block is downloaded to the scanner module, a ladder logic program in the
processor polls the scanner module for the transaction block containing the Explicit Message Response for that request.
This is done by the processor with a Block Transfer Read on the scanner module. Depending on the network load, the
scanner could take a few seconds to complete the request. When a response is loaded, bit 15 of the module status
register is set to 1. The program may have to poll the scanner module a number of times before the scanner returns a
Response Transaction Block.

SIMPLE PARAMETER OBJECT MESSAGE EXAMPLE

The PLC-5 program shown in Figure 1 performs all the parameter functions depending on the data table values.
Operation is as follows:
1) I:001/00 is set true to enable a single block transfer write to transfer the command and data to the 1771-SDN.
2) The 1771-SDN sends a DeviceNet message to the 1203-GK5.
3) The 1203-GK5 decodes the message and communicates with the SMP-3 via SCANport to complete the
command it received.
4) The 1203-GK5 sends a DeviceNet message back to the 1771-SDN.
5) I:001/01 is set true to enable one block transfer read to transfer the response and data from the 1771-SDN.

INTERLOCKED BTW/BTR PARAMETER READ AND WRITE EXAMPLE

Figure 14 shows one method of interlocking the block transfer write and read functions so that a message to the 1203-
GK5 is automatically monitored for a response. This program uses the same data table values as shown in Figures 2 and
3.
When N21:70 no longer contains a value of zero the message has completed. If the value in N21:70 matches the value in
N21:0 the message was successfully completed. At that time, the data table contains the response message and another
message can be sent to the 1203-GK5. If the values do not match, an error has occurred.
