TSX Micro/TSX Premium: Configuring the application

Accessing the application configuration

Principle

The configuration software displays a supply module and the processor selected

when the application was set up.

The object of this function is to:

l replace the processor (if the one chosen at the beginning is not right),

l configure the processor,

l declare/parametrize the various input/output modules and integrated modules,

l enter the software configuration,

l enter the Grafcet configuration.

In on-line mode this function is used to:

l diagnose module faults,

l debug modules.

Procedure

Carry out the following actions:

Step

Action

1

From the Application browser, double left click on the repertoire "Configura-

tionor position the arrow keys on this and press the right arrow.

2

Select:

l Hardware configuration to access the module racks,

l Software configuration to define the software application parameters,

l Grafcet objects configuration to define the specific grafcet parameters for

the application.

3

To confirm the configuration entered use the command Edit/Confirm or in the

contextual menu Confirm or use the icon

Note:

The command Edit/ Cancel modifications (CTRL+Z) or the icon

cancels all

modifications made since the last confirmation.

Configuring the supply modules

Introduction

The supply does not necessarily occupy the first position in a rack (the position fur-

thest to the left). This position has no address.

Double format supplies occupy not only the first position but the 0 address position.

In this case the processor is configured in the 1 address position.

Choosing/Changing the processor

Choosing the

Choosing the processor is the first stage in setting up an application. This choice is

processor

reversible.

Carry out the following actions:

Step

Action

1

Select the commandFile/ New from the PL7 home screen.

2

Select the PLC type>PREMIUM TSX.

3

Select the processor type -> TSX57xx Vyy.

4

Select an extension memory card if necessary (PCMCIA).

5

Specify (depending on the processor configured) whether or not your applica-

tion contains Grafcet.

6

Click on OK.

Changing the

The configuration editor provides assistance when attempting to change the proces-

processor

sor. A message is sent out if the change is not authorized.

WARNING

When changing to a version V3.x processor

Using aV3.x processor in an application that has previously been con-

figured with a lower processor version leads to an irreversible change

in the application structure.

This conversion involves:

l the creation of program structure in sections,

l the automatic creation of the Grafcet section when the initial pro-

gram module is written in Grafcet language.

l the automatic replacement of TSX SCY 21600 modules, if there are

any in the configuration, with TSX SCY 21601 modules.

l an increase in the size of the application by approximately 10%,

which can cause the conversion to fail.

Failure to observe this precaution can result in severe injury or

equipment damage.

Step

Action

1

Select the position of the module to be configured (using the mouse or arrow

keys). (The PgUp, PgDn, TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys are used to select a dif-

ferent rack).

2

Select the Edit/Add module command or double click on the position selected

(ENTERkey). A dialogue box is displayed showing a list by family of modules

that can be configured for the selected position

3

Select the family (using the mouse or arrow keys), the module (the TAB key is

used to move between the different fields) and confirm by OK.

Notes:

Double format modules (for example the TSX CAY41 movement module) only ap-

pear in the module list when both the position selected, and the position before or

after it (depending on type) are not occupied.

Position 0 can only be occupied by a double format supply module or processor.

Moving a module

Carry out the following actions:

Step

Action

1

Select the required module.

2

Move it to the new position while keeping the mouse button held down or se-

lect the Edit/Move a module command.

3

Select the Edit/Confirm command for the modifications to be taken into ac-

count.

Notes:

Objects linked to the module at the former address are:

l deleted then recreated automatically at the new address,

l replaced in the program and variables editor (except for animation tables and

runtime screens) by objects at the new address.

Symbols associated with objects from the moved module are reattached to the ob-

jects at the new address.

The module that has been moved keeps all its parameters.

The processor can only be moved into positions 0 and 1 of rack 0.

94

TSX Micro/TSX Premium: Configuring the application

If you move a discrete module whose channel has been configured in RUN/STOP

mode, the address of the RUN/STOP bit is not modified. You must ensure that the

RUN/STOP input corresponds to an valid address for a discrete input.

When the module addresses are used in an EF (e.g. SEND_REQ, READ_VAR,

etc.), they are not updated automatically.

Copying a

Carry out the following actions:

Step

Action

1

Select the required module.

2

hold down Ctrl and drag the copy to the new position or select the Edit/Copy

Module command.

3

Select the Edit/Confirm command for the modifications to be taken into ac-

count.

Notes:

The objects associated with a module with the old address are copied to the new

address.

The module that has been copied keeps all its parameters.

Duplicating a module associated with an event (at least one module channel is as-

sociated with oneevent) is impossible. One event cannot be associated with several

channels/modules at the same time.

Deleting a

Carry out the following actions:

Step

Action

1

Select the required module.

2

Select Edit/Delete or press the Del key.

3

Select the Edit/Confirm command for the modifications to be taken into ac-

Notes

If no input/output modules are declared in the configuration, or if there are any for-

mat modules, the PL7 software gives access to the %Ix.0 to %Ix.15 bits and to the

%Qx.0 to %Qx.15 outputs for each position (even if the half format module con-

cerned has less inputs/outputs).

If there are any standard format modules, the PL7 software gives access to the

%Ix.0 to %Ix.31 input bits for odd positions and to the %Qx+1.0 to %Qx+1.31 output

bits for even positions (even if the standard format module concerned has less in-

puts/outputs).

Introducing the application browser

General points

The application browser shows the contents of a PL7 application in two forms:

l the structure view,

l the function view.

Description

The structure view

The structure view shows the contents of a PL7 application. It is used to navigate

within an application and provides direct access:

l to configurations,

l to the program,

l to the DFBs contained in the application,

l to the data,

l to the animation tables,

l to certain parts of the documentation file (general information, title pages),

l to tools such as runtime screens.

Section execution order corresponds to display order, and this order can be modi-

fied.

Note: the default PL7 application directory is called STATION. This name can be

modified in the Application propertiesdialog box.

The function view

The function view is a representation of the application split up into functional mod-

ules.

This split does not take the order of their execution by the PLC into account.

WARNING

Only PL7 PRO can be used to set up functional modules on TSX/PMX/

PCS57 PLCs.

Failure to observe this precaution can result in severe injury or

equipment damage.

application IDs

The application is identified by a series of 8 numbers between 0 and 65535. Each of

these represents the signature of an application segment.

These signatures, which are automatically generated by the system, are used to au-

thenticate a given status of the application.

Each development of the application results in the modification of one or more sig-

natures.
