We differ b
between two o types of re

 Rem mote Monitoring - This is defined d as reading g of process data fromm the EPC60 0.
Run nning signa

3.4 Signaling
Commands are triggered on positive (rising) flank of the signals. Hence, to send the same
command twice the signal has to be set from 1 to 0 and then back to 1.

Holding registers are NOT reset by the EPC 60 when a command has been executed. That has
to be done by the client. Neither does the EPC 60 keep track of the order in which the
registers/commands are set. To avoid unwanted command execution it is therefore highly
recommended that the client monitors the OperationStatus register (see section 7.5) before
initiating any new command.

The following holding registers for “write” are reset by the EPC 60 when RC is not active:
Input.Commands, Input.Parameters.SetValue and Input.Parameters.Enable.
4 Available communication types
Remote Control Communication Type is set with parameter P129. The following descriptions are
valid for that specific communication type:

4.1 Digital inputs

The programmable inputs and outputs can be set up to be used for Remote Control of the
separator. Connection example is shown in the EPC 60 circuit diagram.

A specific function can be allocated to any of the input- and output channels. This is defined with
the parameters P133-P138 for the outputs and P139-P144 for the inputs. The available functions
are presented in chapter 011.

The programmable inputs/outputs are only available for FlexRange, PreBilge and Retrofit. The
programmable inputs/outputs are an option.

4.2 Modbus TCP

The Modbus TCP interface is included in the standard delivery of the EPC 60 through the built-in
Ethernet port of the CPU. Connection example is shown in the EPC 60 circuit diagram.

4.2.1 Settings
When parameter P129 is set to Modbus TCP a Modbus server is started in the EPC 60 (else it is
not running). A Modbus client can then read and write the registers presented in chapter 5.

Settings of the Modbus server:

IP address: 192.168.0.1 (as default, can be changed)

Port: 502
Template ID: 9004871 Version 2

Slave ID: 1

Up to 10 simultaneous clients are allowed. Also see section 4.2.3.

by any means (electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise), or for any purpose, without the expressed permission of Alfa Laval. to the extent expressly agreed upon.
Alfa Laval will enforce its rights related to this document to the fullest extent of the law, including the seeking of criminal prosecution.

Pages 8 (63)

4.2.2 Function codes

The following function codes are supported:

MBTYPE_READ_HOLDING_REGISTERS : FC3;
MBTYPE_WRITE_MULTIPLE_REGISTERS : FC16;

4.2.3 Multiple clients from one IP‐address

With P129=Modbus TCP the server will not allow multiple connection sockets from one IP-
address. If the server gets more than one connection request from the same IP-address it will
terminate all connections from that IP. This is the recommended default setting.

With P129=Modbus TCP Multiple Clients (MbsTCPMulCli) the server will allow multiple
connection sockets from the same IP-address. In case clients does not properly close down their
connections that can cause the quota of max 5 simultaneous clients to eventually be filled up; not
allowing new connections to be made.

4.3 Modbus RTU

Only applicable for FlexRange, Retrofit, PreBilge

Modbus RTU interface is available as an option. A bus converter is then needed. A description of
this setup is found in chapter 12.

4.3.1 Settings
P129 is set to Modbus TCP, a Modbus server is started in the Bus converter. A Modbus client
can then read and write the registers presented in chapter 5.

Settings of the Modbus server:

Baud rate: can be selected by the switch on the Bus Converter CPU, se chap 12.2.2
Parity: None
Bits per character: 8
Stop bits: 1
Slave ID: 1

4.4 Modbus RTU local

Only applicable for FlexRange

The ”Modbus RTU local” option (mBusLocal) is not for end-customer use. It is currently only used
Template ID: 9004871 Version 2

with special versions of the EPC 60 panel.

The Modbus RTU interface is available through communication board A16 (CS1020).

With this setting the function of the RC button is overridden. It is a pre-requisite that a panel
controlling through Modbus RTU local is placed within visible range of the separator.

4.5 PROFIBUS DP

PROFIBUS interface is available as an option. A bus converter is then needed. A description of

this setup is found in chapter 12.

4.5.1 GSD‐file
When setting up the PROFIBUS master, the GSD-file for the slave node (bus converter) is
preferably downloaded from the B&R website www.br-automation.com

Searching for the interface module X20IF1063 should generate a result with a link to the latest
GSD-package.

5 Modbus holding registers

The Modbus holding registers are accessible through Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP.

5.1 Address syntax

The addresses in tables 7.1 and 0 should be read as follows:

 Two address series are used to separate data sent from EPC60 and data sent to
EPC60 and then one for LED indication and another one for parameters handling:
o 40001 is the start address for “read” from EPC 60.
+0001 means 40002 in EPC 60, +0002 is 40003 in EPC 60 and so on.

o 40101 is the start address for “write” to EPC 60.

+0001 means 40102 in EPC 60, +0002 is 40103 in EPC 60 and so on.

o 40199-40200 are LED indication

o 40300-40499 are to read the EPC60 process parameters

5.1.1 Data standard

Data (commands, values and feedback) is sent and received according to the Modbus TCP
standard. For more information regarding Modbus TCP, visit www.modbus.org.

5.1.2 Binary code and bit patterns

Data is sent as binary code. A binary code can either represent a value (number) or a bit pattern
for specific commands or status information.

5.1.2.1 Bit pattern

Status and commands are sent as a binary code to one address, where each bit represent one
specific status/command. This combination of bits for one address is called bit pattern. Bits are
counted from right to left, beginning with 0.
Example: Bit number 3 in a specific address is displayed as “00001000”.
It is possible to send several statuses to one address at the same time for one address. This will
change the pattern:
Example: Bit number 3 and 6 in a specific address is displayed as “01001000”.
Template ID: 9004871 Version 2

5.1.2.2 Values
Values are sent as binary code to one address.
Example: The number “3” is sent as the binary number “00000011”.

7.3 Alarm handling

Alarm status can be loaded to the array in table 7.3.1. This is done with the command bits 5, 7
and 8 in write register 40103.

Modbus Profibus Name Loaded to array in 7.3.1

+0002 0004
All alarms which have not been acknowledged and all alarms which have
Bit 5 Bit 5 LoadStatus been acknowledged but are still active.
7 7 LoadAck All alarms which have been acknowledged but are still active
0005
8 Bit 0 LoadActivation All alarms which are active

The above bits are not flank triggered as the other commands. Hence, the array will be
continuously updated as long as the bit is set.

7.4 Parameter handling

The EPC 60 process parameters is handled remotely through “read” registers 40300-40499 and
“write” registers 40104-40106.

When a load command (bit 0 to 5) in register 40104 is set, then that value for all parameter will be
uploaded to registers 40300-40499.

To change the setting of a parameter the parameter number is written to 40105 and the new
setting to 40106. To activate the new setting in the EPC 60 bit 6 in register 40104 has to be set.

To be able to set the “write” registers 40104 bit 6 and 40106, then bit 0 in 40111
Input.Parameters.Enable has to be set. Note that writing to these two registers require RC to be
active.

For parameters with non-numerical values the representation is presented in table below. For all
yes/no-alternatives 0=no and 1=yes.
