 Safety Information

Important Information

NOTICE
Read these instructions carefully, and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device
before trying to install, operate, or maintain it. The following special messages may appear
throughout this documentation or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention
to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

S1A48967 10/2013 5
PLEASE NOTE
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified
personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of
the use of this material.
A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation
of electrical equipment and its installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid
the hazards involved.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operation guarding. Lack of
effective point-of-operation guarding on a machine can result in serious injury to the operator of
that machine.

WARNING
UNGUARDED MACHINERY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
 Do not use this software and related automation equipment on equipment which does not have
point-of-operation protection.
 Do not reach into machinery during operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of industrial processes.
The type or model of automation equipment suitable for each application will vary depending on
factors such as the control function required, degree of protection required, production methods,
unusual conditions, government regulations, etc. In some applications, more than one processor
may be required, as when backup redundancy is needed.
Only the user can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during setup, operation, and
maintenance of the machine; therefore, only the user can determine the automation equipment
and the related safeties and interlocks which can be properly used. When selecting automation and
control equipment and related software for a particular application, the user should refer to the
applicable local and national standards and regulations. The National Safety Council’s Accident
Prevention Manual (nationally recognized in the United States of America) also provides much
useful information.
In some applications, such as packaging machinery, additional operator protection such as point-
of-operation guarding must be provided. This is necessary if the operator’s hands and other parts
of the body are free to enter the pinch points or other hazardous areas and serious injury can occur.
Software products alone cannot protect an operator from injury. For this reason the software
cannot be substituted for or take the place of point-of-operation protection.

6 S1A48967 10/2013
 Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-of-operation
protection have been installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All
interlocks and safeties related to point-of-operation protection must be coordinated with the related
automation equipment and software programming.
NOTE: Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for point-of-operation
protection is outside the scope of the Function Block Library, System User Guide, or other
implementation referenced in this documentation.

START-UP AND TEST

Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation after installation,
the system should be given a start-up test by qualified personnel to verify correct operation of the
equipment. It is important that arrangements for such a check be made and that enough time is
allowed to perform complete and satisfactory testing.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD
 Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed.
 Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means
used for shipment from all component devices.
 Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Follow all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment
documentation for future references.
Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments.
Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and grounds that are not installed
according to local regulations (according to the National Electrical Code in the U.S.A, for instance).
If high-potential voltage testing is necessary, follow recommendations in equipment documentation
to prevent accidental equipment damage.
Before energizing equipment:
 Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
 Close the equipment enclosure door.
 Remove all temporary grounds from incoming power lines.
 Perform all start-up tests recommended by the manufacturer.

S1A48967 10/2013 7
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
The following precautions are from the NEMA Standards Publication ICS 7.1-1995 (English
version prevails):
 Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection
and ratings of components, there are hazards that can be encountered if such equipment is
improperly operated.
 It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce unsatisfactory or unsafe
operation. Always use the manufacturer’s instructions as a guide for functional adjustments.
Personnel who have access to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment
manufacturer’s instructions and the machinery used with the electrical equipment.
 Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator should be accessible to
the operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in
operating characteristics.

General Requirements for Quantum CCOTF

Overview
CCOTF allows modifications of a PLC I/O configuration in RUN mode.
The changes that can be made in the local drop or a S908 RIO drop are as follows:
 add a discrete or analog module in a free slot
 delete a discrete or analog module
 modify the configuration and adjustment parameters of a module

The changes that can be made in an Ethernet IO drop are as follows:

 add a Quantum or Modicon M340 EIO drop
 add a discrete or analog module in a free slot
 delete a discrete or analog module
 modify the configuration and adjustment parameters of a module

The RIO drops management in a Quantum system is based on:

 a network:
 S908 network (see Quantum with Unity Pro, Hardware, Reference Manual) in an S908
Quantum system
 Ethernet network (see Quantum EIO, Remote I/O Modules, Installation and Configuration
Guide) in a Quantum Ethernet I/O Quantum system
 communication modules:
 a CRP module, placed in the local drop
 a CRA module, placed in each RIO drop

The following graphic shows an example of Quantum standalone architecture with a Quantum RIO
drop:

Quantum System Configuration Overview

A Quantum configuration can have:
 a local drop and S908 Remote I/O drops in an S908 system
 a local drop and Ethernet Remote I/O drops in a Quantum Ethernet I/O system
 a local drop with S908 Remote I/O drops and Ethernet Remote I/O drops

The local drop and each remote I/O drop can be made of two racks (backplanes):
 The Main (Primary) rack contains the CPU and the Remote I/O drop adapter
 The Extended (Secondary) rack is linked to the main rack with two backplane expanders

CCOTF modifications can be performed on the main rack or the extended rack.
The picture below shows the elements that can be part of a Quantum drop:

1 Power Supplies (140 CPS ••• ••)

2 CPU (140 CPU ••• ••) or RIO adapter

Number of CCOTF Modifications

Validating a CCOTF modification requires a Build Changes in Unity Pro.
The number of CCOTF modifications allowed in one CCOTF transaction (a transaction is defined
by the operations done between two Build Changes) depends on the system:
 In a local drop or S908 RIO drops, 1 modification is allowed by transaction.
 In a Quantum Ethernet RIO drop:
 1 add Ethernet RIO drop is allowed by transaction
 4 add or 4 delete modules modifications are allowed by transaction (in the same drop)
 1 parameter modification is allowed by transaction (in the same drop)

 In a Modicon M340 Ethernet RIO drop:

 1 add Ethernet RIO drop is allowed by transaction
 4 add or 4 delete modules modifications are allowed by transaction (in the same drop)
 Parameters (Configuration or Adjustment) modifications are allowed on 4 channels of the
same module, in the same drop, by transaction.
A parameter modification on 1 channel causes this channel to be reset.
 1 Modicon M340 Ethernet RIO drop module application specific function parameter
modification is allowed by transaction (BMX EHC ••• module only)
The number of modifications allowed is available in both the Standard connected mode as well
as in the Virtual connected mode (see Unity Pro, Operating Modes).
The number of CCOTF modifications allowed in a transaction respect a hierarchy:
 An add Ethernet RIO drop allows to add various module and modify the modules parameter
within the same transaction.
 An add module in an Ethernet RIO drop allows to modify the added module parameters within
the same transaction. 3 other modules can be added within the same transaction.
 A parameter modification performed on a Modicon M340 channel in an Ethernet RIO drop
allows parameters modifications to be performed on 3 other channels on the same module, in
the same drop, within the same transaction.
No higher level CCOTF modification is allowed within the same transaction: no add or delete
module nor add drop are authorized after an initial parameter modification. A Build Changes
must be performed before performing a higher level CCOTF modification.
To perform more than one CCOTF transaction it is necessary to proceed in several steps:
 perform a Build Changes
 transfer the current modifications in the PLC before doing next modifications.

The picture below shows what happens if the number of allowed CCOTF modifications is exceeded
in a Quantum system with S908 RIO drops:

NOTE: A CCOTF modification is valid with these two actions:

 Adding / Deleting / Modifying a module or adding an Ethernet RIO drop in the Unity Pro
configuration screen is carried out.
 Performing a Build Changes of the modifications.

Example of a CCOTF Modification

Recommended CCOTF modification procedure:

Step Action
1 Insert a new module in a free slot of the Unity Pro configuration screen.
2 Modify the parameters of this module.
3 Validate the parameters modification.

NOTE: These 3 actions are considered as one CCOTF modification and require one build change
to be considered as a completed transaction.

NOTE: Program modifications (add, delete or modify a sequence of code) are not considered part
of the CCOTF modification. Only I/O configuration modifications (if they are allowed) are counted
as CCOTF modifications.

Local Drop and S908 RIO Drop Allowed Actions and Diagnosis

CCOTF Allowed Actions

These actions can be done on discrete or analog modules in a Quantum local drop and a Quantum
S908 RIO drop (both main or extended racks) that are in the RUN mode:
 Add a module in a drop:
 Add a new module
 Copy/Paste a module in the same S908 RIO drop.
The Copy/Paste is done from and to the main or extended drop rack. The new module has
the parameter values of the copied module.
 Delete a module from a drop
 Modify module parameters
NOTE: It is not possible to move a module with the CCOTF function.

Impact of a CCOTF Modification on the State RAM

Overview
When a discrete output module is inserted in RUN in a Quantum configuration, all the output bits
associated to this module in the state RAM (see Unity Pro, Operating Modes) are set to 0 (and all
forced bits are immediately unforced).
When an analog output module is inserted in RUN in a Quantum configuration, all the output
words associated to this module in the state RAM (see Unity Pro, Operating Modes) are set to 0.
When a discrete or analog input module is inserted in RUN in a Quantum configuration, all the
input bits or words associated to this module in the state RAM (see Unity Pro, Operating Modes)
are kept in the same state (including forced bits).

Key Performance

Cycle Time Impact

The table below describes the cycle time, which depends on the modification done:

Modification Maximum Time impact

Inserting a new module 30% of the Mast Task cycle time
Deleting a module 30% of the Mast Task cycle time
Modifying parameters of an existing module 30% of the Mast Task cycle time

NOTE: The percentage varies depending on the cycle time. For cycle time lower than 80 ms, the
max time impact could be higher.

NOTE: A CCOTF modification only impacts the module concerned.

Time to Complete a CCOTF Modification in a RIO drop

To understand how a CCOTF modification is performed, the following points have to be
considered:
 A CCOTF modification is managed at the Mast task frequency.
 When a CCOTF modification is done in a RIO drop, several specific requests are sent to the
CPU in order to modify the CPU memory area containing the I/O drop configuration. This
modification is performed when the Build Changes button is selected in Unity Pro.
 Memory areas containing all the I/O drop configurations are contiguous in the CPU memory, if
the CCOTF modification is related to the first RIO drop, all the other memory areas related to
the other RIO drops have to be shifted in the CPU memory.
If the CCOTF modification is related to the last RIO drop, only the area of this drop is modified.
An important consequence of this point is that a CCOTF modification in the last RIO drop will
require less Mast task cycles than a CCOTF modification in the first RIO drop.
 Inserting a new module is completed when the status bit of this module is set to 1.

NOTE: The worst case possible is to add a new module in the first RIO drop. The time needed by
the system to complete a CCOTF modification is lower than 4 seconds.

Overview
CCOTF function allows modifications when the PLC is in RUN (see page 15) mode.
NOTE: Local I/O can be used but they are not part of the redundant system in a Quantum Hot
Standby (see Modicon Quantum, Hot Standby System, User Manual) system environment.

NOTE: The CCOTF modification can only be done if the module is compatible (see page 31).

WARNING
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT BEHAVIOR
Always transfer the application to the Standby PLC after modifying the configuration in the
Primary PLC.The application in both PLCs must be the same.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

S908 RIO Drop Specifics

The application transfer from Primary to Standby PLC after one CCOTF transaction is
recommended. However, transferring the application after more than one CCOTF transaction will
not generate an S908 RIO drop reset if a Switchover occurs.
Two system Status Register Words: %SW98 and %SW99 allow to manage the S908 CRA
compatibility (see page 24).
A CCOTF modification can only be performed on the Primary PLC with the other PLC in Standby
state.
NOTE: In an S908 system, Unity Pro can be connected to the Primary or the Standby PLC.
Connection to the Primary is preferred.

Ethernet RIO Specifics

If a Switchover occurs after a CCOTF transaction and before the application transfer, the Ethernet
RIO drop gets the configuration from the new Primary (configuration preceding the CCOTF
modification). The output values of the modified drop depend on the Primary application, no glitch
or bump will appear on the outputs.

S1A48967 10/2013 77
CCOTF with Hot Standby

WARNING
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT BEHAVIOR
Make sure that your system responds appropriately if the drop takes back its previous
configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

The application must be transferred from Primary to Standby PLC after one CCOTF transaction.
Transferring the application after more than one CCOTF transaction can lead to the Ethernet RIO
drop reset if a Switchover occurs.

WARNING
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT BEHAVIOR
Ensure that your application program does not operate a Switchover before starting any CCOTF
modification.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

A CCOTF modification can only be performed on the Primary PLC with the other PLC in Standby
state.
NOTE: In an Ethernet RIO system, Unity Pro can only be connected to the Primary PLC.

Application Program Mismatch Bit %SW60.3

Before doing any CCOTF modification, make sure that the system word %SW60.3 (see Modicon
Quantum, Hot Standby System, User Manual) is set to 1.
The logic mismatch command behavior depends on the Quantum system:
 In a local or S908 RIO drop, if system bit %SW60.3 is not set to 1, the Standby PLC goes to the
OFFLINE state after the first CCOTF modification and no other CCOTF modifications are
allowed.
 In an Ethernet RIO drop, is system bit %SW60.3 is not set to 1, CCOTF modifications are not
allowed

Number of CCOTF Modifications Allowed

Validating a CCOTF modification requires a Build Changes in Unity Pro.
The number of CCOTF modifications allowed (see page 21) in one CCOTF transaction depends
on the system.

schneider-electric.com is the primary component of the URL www.schneider-electric.com.
Each domain name is assigned as part of the domain name system, and is associated with an IP
address.
Also called a host name.
DRS
(dual-ring switch) A ConneXium extended managed switch with one of several possible predefined
configurations downloaded to it so that it can participate in a Quantum EIO network. A DRS
provides 2 RSTP-enabled ring connections, one for the main ring and one for a sub-ring. It also
manages QoS, which provides a predictable level of performance for both remote I/O and
distributed I/O traffic on the same I/O network.
DRSs require a firmware version 6.0 or later.
DT
(date and time) A data type encoded in BCD in a 64-bit format that contains the following

DTM
(device type manager) A device driver running on the host PC. It provides a unified structure for
accessing device parameters, configuring and operating the devices, and troubleshooting the
network. DTMs can range from a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for setting device
parameters to a highly sophisticated application capable of performing complex real-time
calculations for diagnosis and maintenance purposes. In the context of a DTM, a device can be a
communications module or a remote device on the network.
See FDT.

E
EDS
(electronic data sheet) Simple text files that describe the configuration capabilities of a device. EDS
files are generated and maintained by the manufacturer of the device.
EF
(elementary function) A block used in a program to perform a predefined logical function.
A function does not have any information on the internal state. Several calls to the same function
using the same input parameters will return the same output values. You will find information on
the graphic form of the function call in the [functional block (instance)]. Unlike a call to a function
block, function calls include only an output which is not named and whose name is identical to that
of the function. In FBD, each call is indicated by a unique [number] via the graphic block. This
number is managed automatically and cannot be modified.
Position and configure these functions in your program in order to execute your application.
You can also develop other functions using the SDKC development kit.
EFB
(elementary function block) A block used in a program to perform a predefined logical function.
EFBs have states and internal parameters. Even if the inputs are identical, the output values may
differ. For example, a counter has an output indicating that the preselection value has been
reached. This output is set to 1 when the current value is equal to the preselection value.
EN
(enable) An optional block input. When enabled, an ENO output is set automatically.
If EN = 0, the block is not enabled; its internal program is not executed, and ENO is set to 0.
If EN = 1, the block’s internal program is run and ENO is set to 1. If a runtime error is detected, ENO
is set to 0.
If the EN input is not connected, it is set automatically to 1.

108 S1A48967 10/2013

 Glossary

ENO
error notification The output associated with the optional input EN.
If ENO is set to 0 (either because EN = 0 or if a runtime error is detected):
 The status of the function block outputs remains the same as it was during the previous
scanning cycle that executed correctly.
 The output(s) of the function, as well as the procedures, are set to 0.

Ethernet
A 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, or 1 Gb/s, CSMA/CD, frame-based LAN that can run over copper twisted pair
or fiber optic cable, or wireless. The IEEE standard 802.3 defines the rules for configuring a wired
Ethernet network; the IEEE standard 802.11 defines the rules for configuring a wireless Ethernet
network. Common forms include 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T, which can utilize
category 5e copper twisted pair cables and RJ45 modular connectors.
EtherNet/IP™
A network communication protocol for industrial automation applications that combines the
standard internet transmission protocols of TCP/IP and UDP with the application layer common
industrial protocol (CIP) to support both high speed data exchange and industrial control.
EtherNet/IP employs electronic data sheets (EDS) to classify each network device and its
functionality.
explicit messaging
TCP/IP-based messaging for Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP. It is used for point-to-point,
client/server messages that include both data—typically unscheduled information between a client
and a server—and routing information. In EtherNet/IP, explicit messaging is considered class 3
type messaging, and can be connection-based or connectionless.
explicit messaging client
(explicit messaging client class) The device class defined by the ODVA for EtherNet/IP nodes that
only support explicit messaging as a client. HMI and SCADA systems are common examples of
this device class.
extended distributed I/O network
An Ethernet-based network containing distributed I/O devices located on an existing distributed I/O
network that participate in an Ethernet remote I/O network through use of an extended port on a
control network head module.

F
FBD
(function block diagram) A graphical programming language that works like a flowchart. By adding
simple logical blocks (AND, OR, etc.), each function or function block in the program is represented
in this graphical format. For each block, the inputs are on the left and the outputs on the right. Block
outputs can be linked to inputs of other blocks in order to create complex expressions.

data connections between the client and server.
full duplex
The ability of 2 networked devices to independently and simultaneously communicate with each
other in both directions.

G
gateway
A device that interconnects 2 different networks — sometimes with different network protocols.
When used to connect networks based on different protocols, a gateway converts a datagram from
one protocol stack into the other. When used to connect 2 IP-based networks, a gateway (also
called a router) has 2 separate IP addresses – one on each network.

N
network
There are 2 meanings:
 In a ladder diagram:
A set of interconnected graphic elements. The scope of a network is local, concerning the
organizational unit (section) of the program containing the network.
 With expert communication modules:
A set of stations that intercommunicate. The term network is also used to define a group
interconnected graphic elements. This group then makes up part of a program that may
comprise a group of networks.
NIM
(network interface module) A NIM resides in the first position on an STB island (leftmost on the
physical setup). The NIM provides the interface between the I/O modules and the fieldbus master.
It is the only module on the island that is fieldbus-dependent — a different NIM is available for each
fieldbus.

port 502
Port 502 of the TCP/IP stack is the well-known port that is reserved for Modbus communications.
port mirroring
In this mode, data traffic that is related to the source port on a network switch is copied to another
destination port. This allows a connected management tool to monitor and analyze the traffic.
NOTE: In port mirroring mode, the SERVICE port acts like a read-only port. That is, you cannot
access devices (ping, connection to Unity Pro, etc.) through the SERVICE port on the
140 CRP 312 00 head module and the 140 CRA 312 00 and BMX CRA 312 •0 adapter modules.

regulating data flow on the network. In an industrial network, QoS is used to provide a predictable
level of network performance.
Quantum Ethernet I/O device
These devices in Quantum Ethernet I/O systems provide automatic network recovery and
deterministic remote I/O performance. The time it takes to resolve a remote I/O logic scan can be

U
UDP
(user datagram protocol) A transport layer protocol that supports connectionless communications.
Applications running on networked nodes can use UDP to send datagrams to one another. UDP
does not always deliver datagrams as reliable or ordered as those delivered by TCP. However, by
avoiding the overhead required for TCP, UDP is faster. UDP may be the preferred protocol for time-
sensitive applications, where dropped datagrams are preferable to delayed datagrams. UDP is the
primary transport for implicit messaging in EtherNet/IP.

V
variable
