TSX Micro PLCs TSX 3705/3708/3710/3720. Implementation Manual (Volume 1)

Terminal port

Operator dialog console

General

The operator dialog console uses the UNI-TE protocol to communicate with the

offline PLC and with the other stations in the network architecture.

If a type TSX 37 PLC is used, the operator dialog console is auto-supplied. It must

therefore be connected onto the AUX port to leave the TER port available for a

terminal which might need a supply (FTX 117, for example).

The connection cable reference between the terminal port and an operator dialog

console CCX 17 is given below.

Example of a connection :

Terminal port

Programming and adjustment terminal and operator dialog console

General

The terminal port of a PLC can manage two devices as multidrops . the

programming and adjustment program, and an operator dialog console.

The PLC’s TSX 37-21 and TSX 37-22 have two terminal ports. Each of these two

ports can therefore receive one of these devices. Because the adjustment terminal

FTX 117 is not self-supplied, it must be connected onto the TER port.

TSX DM 37 xxE

Terminal port

The PLC’s TSX 37-10 have a single terminal port.The simultaneous connection of a

programming terminal and an operator dialog console requires a junction box

TSX P ACC 01 to be used (see next chapter).

Terminal port

Modem on terminal port

General

The terminal port of the TSX Micro PLC’s of version ≥ 1.5 is compatible with a

connection modem in the protocols UNI-TELWAY master, UNI-TELWAY slave and

character string.

It is imperative that the modem to be connected has the following features

1 supports the 10 or 11 bit by character format if the terminal port is used in UNI-

TELWAY mode (1 Start, 8 pieces of Data, 1Stop, Odd parity or without parity),

2 operate without data compression if the terminal port is used in UNI-TELWAY,

3 can be configured "forced DTR signal" from the side of its RS232 serial port

(when the modem is used in response mode), because this signal is not

connected by the cable,

4 operate without flux control (neither hardware -RTS/CTS-, nor software -XON/

XOFF-) from the side of its RS 232 serial port, as the cable to be used on the

terminal port side can only carry TX, RX and GND signals,

5 operate without carrier control. Warning: this operation mode also uses RTS

and CTS control signals,

6 accept an incoming telephone call while characters reach its RS 322 serial port

(if a modem/telephone network is used in response mode on a terminal port

configured in UNI-TELWAY master).

Note: It is highly recommended that you check with the modem supplier that the

above features are definitely offered by the modem considered.

Example 2 : for a terminal port in character string mode connected to a modem via

an application-specific line, the port must have the above characteristics from 3 to 5.

slave PLC, sensors/actuators, or any other slave device which supports the

UNI-TE protocol. If a CCX 17 is used, addresses 4 and 5 are reserved for it.

This mode becomes operational immediately, in fact, within the default

configuration limits. No implementation phase is required for connecting a

device onto this type of link.

Standard functions

General

The TSX unit P ACC 01 is a wiring accessory which connects to the TER port of

PLC’s type TSX 37 by the intermediary of an integral cable equipped with a mini-DIN

connected at one end.

It makes it possible to :

connect several devices onto the terminal port of PLC’s type TSX 37-05/08/10. It

is therefore equipped with two mini-DIN ports, TER and AUX serigraph, they are

equivalent to those of PLC’s type TSX 37-••,

connect a TSX 37 PLC to the Modbus/Jbus bus,

insulate the UNI-TELWAY signals to extend the terminal port link of the PLC’s

type TSX 37-05/08/10 and TSX 37 2• more than 10 meters to connect the PLC

onto an UNI-TELWAY bus,

adapt the bus when the unit is connected to one end of the UNI-TELWAYou

fix the terminal port operation mode:

Note: The two ports of the unit TSX P ACC 01, TER and AUX are not insulated

from each other, nor from the TER port of thePLC which provides the supply.

Connectable devices

General points

The functions of both ports on the TSX P ACC 01 device are identical to those of the

TER and AUX terminal ports on TSX 37-•• PLCs:

The device’s TER port allows all devices supporting the UNI-TELWAY protocol

to be connected, in particular devices which are not auto-supplied (programming

terminal FTX 117, converter cable RS 485/RS 232, etc.),

the device’s AUX port only allows the connection of auto-supplied devices

(operator dialog console, PLCs, third-party devices, etc.).

Note: The TSX P ACC 01 device is supplied by the TER port of the PLC to which

it is connected. Therefore, the terminal’s TER port allows the use of auto-supplied

devices (CCX 17, etc.) or devices which are not auto-supplied (programming

terminal FTX 117, converter cable RS 485/RS 232, etc.).

If you wish to connect the terminal port of a second PLC to one of the ports of the

TSX P ACC 01 device, you must use the AUX port (of the device and the PLC) so

as to avoid having any conflict between the power supplies of the two PLCs.

In the example below, the TSX P ACC 01 device should be connected by built-in

cable to the UNI-TELWAY slave PLC. Its S1 switch should be positioned to ON.

As the S2 device is not on a UNI-TELWAY bus, the position of its switch is not

important.

Note: In order that a PLC can work in slave mode, it must be connected to a

TSX P ACC 01 device by a built-in cable.
