 About the PS4-200
Compact PLC

Elements  Power supply unit

The PS4-200 is operated with a rated voltage of
24 V DC. The power supply connection is protected
against polarity reversal. The 24 V connection
enables the PLC in the control cabinet to be supplied
with voltages to industrial standards (IEC).
 High-speed counter input
You can count pulses at up to 3 kHz via the digital
input I 0.0, irrespective of the cycle time. The up
counter is capable of processing square-wave
pulses with a pulse/pause ratio of 1. A function block
is provided in the programming software for the high-
speed counter.
 Alarm input
The digital input I 0.1 enables you to respond to
events quickly, irrespective of the cycle time. You
can use either the rising or the falling edge to
evaluate these events. A function block is provided in
the programming software for the alarm input.
 Digital inputs
The PLC has 8 digital inputs. They are galvanically
isolated from the CPU. The inputs are designed for
24 V DC. The input delay of normally 55 ms ensures
short response times (e.g. for direct peripheral scans
and alarm evaluations). Inputs I 0.0 to I 0.7 can be
addressed in bit or byte format with peripheral I/O
commands.

 Status LEDs for digital inputs

The physical states of the inputs and the diagnostics
status word are indicated by LEDs.
 Status LEDs for outputs
The logical states of the outputs are indicated with
light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Outputs Q 0.6 and Q 0.7
are only provided as LEDs.
Digital/analog outputs, analog inputs
Digital outputs:
The PS4-200 has 6 24 V/0.5 A digital outputs. They
are galvanically isolated from the CPU and protected
against short-circuits and overloads. Up to four
outputs can be connected in parallel.

 Outputs Q 0.0 to Q 0.5 can be addressed either

in bit or byte format with peripheral commands
(see chapter 5 “Slave addressing”).
Analog inputs/outputs:
The controller has two analog inputs and one analog
output. The signal range is 0 to 10 V. The resolution
of the inputs is 10 bits (1024 increments), while that
of the output is 12 bits (4096 increments)..

 The section “Power supply” in the Engineering

chapter contains a connection diagram of the
analog inputs and outputs.
All the inputs and outputs are wired via plug-in screw
terminals.

Suconet K interface
The RS 485 interface is galvanically isolated from the
CPU. It has the following functions:
Networking of Suconet K stations (e.g. EM4...
expansion modules)
Data exchange with partner devices that have a
serial port (printers, terminals, etc.). This
communication interface is used for process data
acquisition, visualization, etc. Data for process
control must not be exchanged here.
Programming networks for several PLCs via a PC
(see section “Programming with Suconet K” in
the “Operation” chapter).
 Setpoint potentiometers
You can set the two setpoint potentiometers P1 and
P2 externally, in other words direct adjustment
without the need for a programming device. The
resolution is 10 bits (1024 increments). They can be
accessed with the operands “IAW0” and “IAW2”.
 Switch S1 for bus terminating resistors
You can set the bus terminating resistors for the first
and last physical stations with switch S1.

Programming device interface (PRG)

The RS 232 interface is galvanically isolated from the
CPU. It has the following functions:
Programming the PLC via the PC
Data exchange with partner devices that have a
serial port (printers, terminals, etc.). This type of
communication is used for process data
acquisition, visualization etc. but should not be
used to exchange data for process control (see
also “Function block SCO” in the manual
“Language Elements of the PS4-150/-200/-300
and PS416” in AWB2700-1306GB, chapter 6).
 Memory modules
The PS4-200 has an internal, battery-backed,
32 kByte RAM. The memory is subdivided into a data
memory and a user program memory.
Up to 24 Kbyte are available for the user program.
This allocation is dynamic, i.e. if the data memory
requires more than 8 Kbyte, the size of the user
program memory is reduced accordingly.
The memory capacity of the internal RAM can be
expanded with plug-in memory modules. The
available modules are as follows:
The 32 Kbyte RAM module expands the user
program memory. Up to 56 Kbyte can then be
allocated to this memory.

Warning!
In order to avoid potential equalization currents
between the PLC and the PC, devices attached
to the PRG and Suconet K interfaces must have
the same ground potential. If the ground
potentials differ, the interfaces can be destroyed.
If identical ground potentials cannot be achieved,
either connect the PC to the mains supply via an
isolating transformer or use a laptop powered by an

 Engineering

Arrangement of the The arrangement of the components in the control

control cabinet cabinet has a significant influence on the correct
operation of the machine or plant. When planning,
designing and installing the equipment, ensure that
the power section and the control section are
separated from one another. The power section
includes:
Contactors
Coupling modules
Transformers
Frequency converters
Power converters
DC power supply units
In order to effectively eliminate electromagnetic
interference, we recommend subdividing the control
cabinet into sections according to the different
power and interference levels. Simple partitions are
often sufficient to reduce interference in small control
cabinets.

Ventilation
In order to ensure that the PS4-200 is adequately
cooled, a minimum clearance of 5 cm (2″) must be
allowed between other components and the
ventilation slots in the housing. The values specified
in the technical data must be observed
(see Appendix).

Device arrangement
The PS4-200 should be installed horizontally in the
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

control cabinet as shown in the following figure.

 An insulation monitoring device must be installed

if the supply voltage is not grounded (EN 60204,
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

Part 1 and VDE 0100, Part 725). For floating

operation, the 24 V DC power supply must be a
safety extra-low voltage version to IEC 364-4-41.

Avoiding interference Cabling and wiring

Cables come under the following categories:
Power cables (e.g. cables carrying heavy current
or cables to power converters, contactors or
solenoid valves)
Control and signal cables
(e.g. digital input cables)
Measuring and signal cables (e.g. field bus
cables)

 Power, control and signal cables must always be

laid as far apart from one another as possible, in
order to prevent capacitive and inductive
interference. If separate cabling is not possible,
the cables that represent the potential source of
interference must be screened above all.
In order to keep interference to a minimum ensure
that the cabling both inside and outside the control
cabinet is laid correctly as follows:
왘 Avoid long, parallel cable runs with adjacent
cables of different power ratings.
왘 Always lay AC cables separately from DC cables.
Observe the following minimum clearances:
At least 10 cm (4″) between power cables and
signal cables.
At least 30 cm (12″) between power cables and
data/analog cables.
왘 Make sure that the supply and return cables
belonging to each circuit are laid together. The
opposing direction of current flow means that the
sum of all the currents is zero so that any fields
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

which are produced are compensated.

Suppressor circuits for interference sources

왘 All suppressor circuits must be installed as close
as possible to the interference sources
(contactors, relays, valves).

 Suppressor circuits should be provided for all

switched inductances.

Screening
왘 Only use screened cables for the programming
device interface (PRG) and the Suconet K
interface of the PS4-200.
General rule: the lower the coupling impedance, the
better the screening effect. The screen is then able to
carry high interference currents.

 If you use the Suconet K or PRG interface,

connect the screen of the cable to the housing of
the plug connector. The housing of the socket is
connected via a capacitor to the earth terminal of
the power supply.

Lightning protection
External lightning protection
All cables which are laid between two different
buildings must be screened. Metal conduits are
recommended for this purpose. Protective elements
against overvoltage, such as varistors or other types
of lightning arrester, should be used for signal
cables. The cables must be protected at the point at
which they enter the building, or at the latest at the
control cabinet.
Internal lightning protection
Internal lightning protection includes all measures
that reduce the effects of the lightning current and its
electrical and magnetic fields on the metal
installations and electrical systems inside a building.
These measures comprise:
Lightning-protection potential equalization
Screening
Overvoltage protection devices

 4 Software Configuration

General You can configure the PLCs and all the other
components you need for your application with the
Sucosoft S 40 Topology Configurator. These
components are as follows:
Master PLC (with local expansion modules for the
inputs/outputs)
Network stations (slaves for expanding the
remote I/O or intelligent slaves)
Local expansion modules (LE4-...)

e.g. PS 4-201-MM1 LE 4-... LE 4-... LE 4-... LE 4-... LE 4-... LE 4-...

e.g. PS 4-201-MM1 LE 4-...

Figure 16: Components of a topology configuration

 The following example describes the procedure

04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

for configuring a topology.

35
 Software Configuration

Topology configuration Each Suconet K line in an automation system is

procedure assigned to a single master. All the other stations on
the master’s line are slaves. A separate configuration
must be defined for every station with its own CPU,
i.e. for the master itself and for all intelligent slaves.

Configuration of the master with local expansion

modules
The master’s configuration also specifies the local
expansion modules. Local expansion modules are
assigned the same line number and station number
as the master (“0” for both line and station number).
The modules are numbered consecutively. The
master is module number “0” and the local
expansion modules are numbered “1” to “6”.

Configuration of the master with remote

expansion modules
The master’s configuration also specifies the slaves
that are connected to the master’s line. The slaves
are classified according to whether they have their
own CPU (intelligent slaves) or not (slaves for
expanding the remote inputs/outputs):
In the case of intelligent slaves (e.g. PS4-200)
the master configuration only specifies the device
itself, and not any local expansion modules
(LE4...) that are connected to it.
In the case of slaves for expanding the remote
inputs/outputs the connected local expansion
modules (modules 1 to 6) are specified in the
master’s configuration file as “network stations”
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

in addition to the base module (module 0).

Configuring and setting The configuration steps for the PS4-200 PLCs
parameters described here differ according to the functions the
stations must perform:

SCO (from PLC firmware version 05)

 “SCO” stands for serial communication. This

function allows the PS4-200 to exchange serial
data with a partner device via its Suconet K
interface (see also “Function block SCO” in the
manual “Language Elements of the
PS4-150/-200/-300 and PS416” in
AWB2700-1306GB, chapter 6).
The table below shows how the various types of
station can be configured depending on their
functions. The fields which are not self-explanatory
are subsequently described in more detail.

Slave address: The station number must be entered here in order to

configure an intelligent slave. The station address is
always 1 higher than the station number (e.g. slave 1
has address 2).
CRC: Method of enhancing data transmission integrity.
You should activate CRC (ON) if you attach greater
importance to data integrity than to short response
times.
Remote Control: If this parameter is active (ON), the intelligent slave
always has the same status as the master. If the
master changes from the “Halt” (stop) state to the
“Run” state, for example, or vice versa, the intelligent
slave changes its state accordingly. However, the
operating mode selector switch of the intelligent
slave must not be set to “Halt” (stop).

master (a): the intelligent slave. This number must be identical to
the number of output bytes (d) defined in the
configuration of the intelligent slave.
Output data, Number of bytes which the master must send to the
master (b): intelligent slave. This number must be identical to the
number of input bytes (c) defined in the configuration
of the intelligent slave.
Input data, Number of bytes which the intelligent slave must
slave (c): receive from the master. This number must be

 Software Configuration

Maximum values for send and receive bytes

The Suconet K protocol allows data with a variable
length to be transferred cyclically, whereby the
number of bytes is dependent on the settings for the
master and the slave (see below). The data length for
communication with slaves for expanding the remote
inputs/outputs is dependent on the slave type. With
intelligent slaves you can specify the number of send
and receive bytes yourself. However, the following
maximum values must not be exceeded:

Table 4: Maximum values for send and receive bytes for the
PS4-200
Send/receive bytes Master Slave
Max. no. of send bytes (output) 128 78
Max. no. of receive bytes (input) 128 78
Max. no. of send and receive bytes 128* 78
(output/input)

* For certain configurations, the number of

send and receive bytes can be increased to
256 (see Appendix).

 The maximum number of receive bytes (input

bytes) also includes the diagnostics bytes of the
stations and of any local expansion modules
which are connected to the same line. 04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

42
 Configuration example with
local expansions

Defining input and output data

왘 First of all you must decide how many bytes an
intelligent slave should send to the master and
specify this number with the “Input data”
parameter in the master’s configuration. When
you later specify the slave’s own configuration,
you must specify the same number with the
“Output data” parameter.
왘 Now decide how many bytes the master is to
send to the intelligent slave and specify this
number as the “Output data” parameter in the
master's configuration. When you later define the
slave’s own configuration, you must specify the
same number with the “Input data” parameter.

 5 Slave Addressing

Slaves for expanding The PS4-200 master PLC and the slaves for
remote inputs/outputs expanding the remote inputs/outputs can
communicate with one another using the Sucone tK
or K1 protocols. The protocol is selected by the
master automatically according to the capabilities of
the slaves. It is not necessary to parameterize the
send or receive data length in the Topology
Configurator. Suconet K/K1 selects the appropriate
telegram length and automatically addresses the
relevant data ranges in your application.
You can thus access remote input/output operands
just as easily as local operands.

remote inputs/outputs

Intelligent slaves When the master and an intelligent slave

communicate with one another, the application
determines which data is exchanged. You cannot
access the input/output operands directly. You must
therefore address the communication data using the

 Slave Addressing

The general syntax rule is as follows:

 If the PS4-200 is run as slave, it provides status

bytes %ISB0.0.0.0 for device status information
and %ISB0.0.0.1 for slave status information.
These status bytes cannot be scanned together
in one word but must be addressed separately.
Example
The PS4-200 (master) exchanges word data with an
intelligent slave. You can define the number of send
and receive bytes when you set the station
parameters in the Sucosoft S 40 Topology
Configurator (see chapter 4, “Software

 6 Operation

Power-up behaviour After the power supply is switched on, the PS4-200
carries out its own system test. The PLC then
switches to the “Ready” or “Run” status if no
hardware errors have been found.
The system test consists of the following routines:
Memory test
User program test
The results of the test are indicated by the “Ready”,
“Run” and “Not Ready” LEDs. If the test is
successful, these LEDs light up briefly when the
power supply is switched on; if not, they blink.
The PLC's status depends on how the operating
mode selector switch is set (see Table 13).

Shut-down behaviour The power supply unit of the PLC detects when the
power supply is switched off. Voltage dips of ≤ 10 ms
can be bridged by the power supply unit. If a longer
voltage dip occurs, the internal 5 V supply remains
stable for at least a further 5 ms. This time is used by
the microcontroller to save all the data required for a
restart in the memory ranges provided for this
purpose.
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

55
 Operation

Operating states of the The PLC can have the following operating states:
PLC “Run”, “Ready”, “Not Ready”.

 Communication with the PC is possible in all

three operating states. Accordingly, the current
status of the PLC and the real-time clock can
always be read, for example.

Ready
The “Ready” status means the following:
There is a user program loaded in the PLC;
The user program is not running;
The outputs are reset and disabled.
The PLC is switched to the “Ready” status:
If the “Reset” button is pressed when the
operating mode selector switch is set to “Halt”;
After the power supply is switched on if the
operating mode selector switch is set to “Halt”;
By means of the programming software on the
PC;
In slave mode, if the master switches to the “Halt”
(stop) status and you have set in the slave
parameters the “remote control” function to ON in
the Sucosoft Topology Configurator (see
AWB2700-1305GB, chapter 5);
If the tab of the memory module is pulled out.
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

56
 Operating states of the
PLC

Run
“Run” status means that the user program is running
cyclically.
The PLC is switched to the “Run” status:
If the “Reset” button is pressed when the
operating mode selector switch is set to “Run” or
“Run M-Reset”;
After the power supply is switched on if the
operating mode selector switch is set to “Run” or
“Run M-Reset”;
By means of the programming software on the
PC.

Not Ready
The user program does not run in “Not Ready”
status.
The PLC is switched to the “Not Ready” status:
If there is no program loaded in the PLC;
As a result of a hardware error;
As a result of a serious error in the user program
(e.g. cycle time violation)
Once the error has been rectified, you can cancel the
“Not Ready” status as follows:
By pressing the “Reset” button; if the operating
mode selector switch is set to “Run M-Reset”, the
PLC will be switched to the “Run” status;
By switching the power supply off and then on
again; if the operating mode selector switch is set
to “Run M-Reset” the PLC will be switched to the
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

“Run” status;
By means of the programming software on the
PC.

system parameter setup has been set to “Halt” (stop),
i.e. a cold start is required.

Whenever the PLC is started by switching on the

power supply, by pressing the “Reset” button or by
means of the PC, the backup program is compared
with the program in the RAM. If the programs are not
the same, the program in the memory module
(backup program) is copied to the RAM.
If the user program in the memory module is
defective, it is updated, providing the user program
in the RAM is valid. An update is also carried out
every time the user program is transferred from the
PC to the PLC.

Start-up behaviour The PLC can be either cold-started or warm-started.

Cold start
A cold start causes all the data fields (marker ranges,
inputs/outputs, module parameters) to be reset. The
user program is executed from the beginning.
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

 Operation

A cold start can be initiated as follows:

By pressing the “Reset” button if the operating
mode selector switch is set to “Run M-Reset”,
providing the PLC is currently in the “Ready” or
“Not Ready” status;
By switching on the power supply if the operating
mode selector switch is set to “Run M-Reset”;
By means of the programming software on the
PC provided that the PLC is currently in the
“Ready” or “Not Ready” status.

 A cold start can also be initiated via the system

parameters if the operating mode selector switch
is set to “Run”. For this activate the Cold Start
option in Behaviour after Not Ready in the
Parameters dialog.
A cold start is always necessary after a new user
program has been transferred to the PLC.

Warm start
A warm start causes the user program to be
continued from the point at which it was interrupted
to the end of the cycle. The outputs and the
communication data are set to “0” for the remainder
of this cycle. The PLC is then initialized and the
program is executed cyclically. Retentive data fields
remain stored.
The setting of retentive marker ranges is described in
the manual “Sucosoft S 40 User Interface”
(AWB2700-1305GB, chapter 7).
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

 Program transfer

A warm start can be initiated as follows:

By pressing the “Reset” button if the operating
mode selector switch is set to “Run”, providing
the PLC is currently in the “Ready” status;
By switching on the power supply if the operating
mode selector switch is set to “Run”, providing
the PLC contains a battery in working condition;
By means of the programming software on the
PC, providing the PLC is currently in the “Ready”
status.

 A warm start can also be initiated via the system

parameters if the operating mode selector switch
is set to “Run”. For this activate the Warm Start
option in Behaviour after Not Ready in the
Parameters dialog.

Warning!
If you initiate a warm start via the system
parameters, your data may lose its consistency.

Program transfer If the user program does not contain any syntax
errors, the compiler in the programming device (PC)
translates it into a code that can be understood and
executed by the CPU. You must then load the user
program into the RAM of the CPU using the
“Transfer” menu. The microprocessor executes the
program there in the “Run” status.

 Operation

PC → PLC
When a program is transferred from the PC to the
PLC, the PS4-200 must be in the “Ready” or “Not
Ready” status. The setting of the operation mode
selector switch on the operator console is not
important.
왘 Transfer the program to the PLC; refer to the
manual “Sucosoft S 40 User Interface”
(AWB2700-1305GB, chapter 8).

 Please refer to the section “Programming

through Suconet K” for details of how to transfer
the user program to the PLC through Suconet K.
If the operating mode selector switch is set to “Halt”
(stop), the LEDs for “Ready” and “Not Ready” will
light up while the program is being transferred
together with the LED for input I 0.0. They confirm
that the data transfer between the PS4-200 and the
PC is progressing successfully.

PC → PLC and memory module

왘 Plug the memory module into the PLC (the PLC
must be switched off).
왘 Switch on the PLC. The PLC must be switched to
the “Ready” or “Not Ready” status.
왘 Transfer the program from the PC to the PLC. The
program is now loaded into both the PLC and the
memory module.

 Starting the PLC with a
program stored in
the memory module

Starting the PLC with a The procedure for starting a user program in the
program stored in memory module is as follows:
the memory module
왘 Plug the memory module into the PLC (the PLC
must be switched off). The setting of the operate
mode selector switch is not important.
왘 Switch on the PLC. The program in the memory
module is then copied to the PS4-200 and the
PLC is started up according to the configured
startup conditions.

Programming via It is possible to program several networked stations

Suconet K and to run test and startup functions from a single
programming device attached to Sucone tK without
having to connect a programming cable to each of
the stations in turn. This method can be used for all
stations which are connected to the line served
directly by the master PLC. If one of these stations
(e.g. LE4-501-BS1) opens another line, you will not
be able to access the stations connected to it (see
broken line in figure below). For further information
on this topic refer to the manual “Sucosoft S 40 User
Interface” (AWB2700-1305GB, chapter 8).

Diagnostics

Diagnostics Status information is scanned hierarchically using

the diagnostics status word and the station’s
diagnostics byte as well as the diagnostics bytes of
any local expansion modules which are connected to
it.

Diagnostics status word

The diagnostics status word provides an overview of
the various error messages. It consists of 16 bits. The
diagnostics bits are subdivided into two categories:
Category D (diagnostics): bits 0 - 7
Category E (error): bits 8 - 15
The diagnostics bits in category D have an indication
function. They can become set while the PLC is still
in the “Run” or “Ready” status.
The diagnostics bits in category E cause the PLC to
be switched to the “Not Ready” status.
The diagnostics bits are displayed in the System
Diagnostics window of Sucosoft S 40 (see manual
“Sucosoft S 40” User Interface AWB2700-1305GB,
chapter 8).
The diagnostics bits can also be displayed on the
controller’s input LEDs. For this proceed as follows:
왘 Set the operating mode selector switch to “Halt”
and refer to the following tables to interpret the
controller’s operating state. Press the “Reset”
button if you want to acknowledge the error
signals.

Diagnostics byte for Suconet K stations

In order to get more details about the information
contained in the diagnostics status word, you can
scan the diagnostics byte of each of the stations and
of any local expansion modules that are connected
to them. You only have read access to this
information.
Each station and each local expansion module on
the Suconet K line has its own status information.
The diagnostics information available is dependent
on the respective type of Suconet station or local
expansion module.

 There is a group message containing status

information for every station on the Suconet K
line. This information applies to the respective
CPU and to any local expansion modules (LE)
which are connected to it.
04/99 AWB 27-1184 GB

68
 Message byte

The status information indicates, for example,

whether:
The device ID is incorrect
The device has been disconnected from the
Suconet bus or does not respond
There is a short-circuit at the digital output of the
station, etc.
The status information and its meaning are described
in the manuals for the respective Suconet stations
and local expansion modules.

Message byte The message byte contains information about the

status of the PLC, image data relating to the network
stations, the PLC’s startup behaviour, etc. You only
have read access to this information.
For further information on message byte, refer to the
“PLC_Message” function block description in the
manual “Language elements for the PS4-150/
-200/-300 and PS416” (AWB2700-1306GB).

 Appendix

Optimizing the The 128 byte communication buffer (COB) of the

exchange of send and PS4-200 master is used to alternately send and
receive data receive data to and from each of the stations in turn.
After the master has sent the data (send data) to a
station, this now free area of the COB memory plus
any unused COB memory is available to receive data
(receive data) from the slave. As long as there is
sufficient free memory available in the COB each
time the master receives data from a slave in this
way, the 128 byte COB can be used alternately for
128 bytes of send data and 128 bytes of receive
data.
If there is not sufficient free memory when the master
receives data from a slave, valid data in the COB may
be overwritten and the PS4-201-MM1 may switch to
the “Not Ready” status (error messages “ERT” and
“EPM”) after transferring the program.
The reason for this behaviour and its remedy is
illustrated in the following examples.
Example
A PS4-201-MM1 (master) needs to exchange data
with three slaves A, B, C (also PS4-201-MM1) as
shown in the following figure. The number of bytes
received from each slave also includes the
diagnostics bytes from the slave and from any local
expansion modules which are connected to it.

total of 20 bytes of memory are now available. This is
used by the second and third polling process, where
the master receives 10 bytes more from both stations
