C-DIAS PROCESSOR MODULE CCP 521

C-DIAS Processor Module CCP 521

The CCP 521 processor module runs the control program and
thereby represents an essential component of an automation sys-
tem. The internal DC/DC converter powers all modules on a
C-DIAS module carrier.

The CAN bus, an Ethernet interface or the USB device (Mini USB)
can be used as the online interface.

A 7-segment display and 2 status LEDs provide information on the

actual status of the CPU.

For program updates, the integrated USB Host interface can be

used (USB stick, keyboard). With help from the exchangeable SD
card, the entire control program can be easily exchanged.

The CCP 521 processor module is designed to be mounted in the

control cabinet.

With the integrated VARAN manager, the processor module offers the possibility to con-
struct a high-performance VARAN system to operate for example, decentralized I/O mod-
ules, drive systems or communication modules.

Compatibility

Completely PC-compatible. The CCP 521 works with standard PC BIOS and therefore no
SIGMATEK-specific BIOS is needed; the LASAL operating system in provided.

Problems can arise if a control is connected to an IP network, which contains

modules that do not run a SIGMATEK operating system. With such devices, Ether-
net packets could be sent to the control with such a high frequency (i.e. broad-
casts), that the high interrupt load could cause a real-time runtime error or runtime
error. By configuring the packet filter (Firewall or Router) accordingly however, it is
possible to connect a network with SIGMATEK hardware to a third party network
without triggering the error mentioned above.

Des problèmes peuvent survenir si un automate est connecté à un réseau IP con-

tenant des modules qui ne fonctionnent pas sous un système d'exploitation
SIGMATEK. Avec de tels dispositifs, les paquets Ethernet peuvent être envoyés à
l’automate avec une fréquence tellement élevée (càd. diffusion), que les interrup-
tions ainsi générées peuvent provoquer une erreur d'exécution. En configurant
d’une façon appropriée le filtre de paquets (pare-feu ou un routeur) il est toutefois
possible de connecter un réseau avec le matériel SIGMATEK à un réseau tiers sans
déclencher l'erreur mentionnée ci-dessus.

Display
The CCP 521 processor module has a 2-digit decimal display (7 segment display) for the
following functions:

- When configuring the processor module, the parameters are shown in the display.

- If an error occurs while running the program or no valid user program is found, the dis-
play shows an error message. Thereby, "Er" (error) and the error code are displayed al-
ternatingly. The same error code is also shown in the LASAL status line.

- While running the program, the display can be used to show digits using the system
variable _cpuDisplay. Valid values are 0 to 255; values over 99, however, are not shown
and the display remains dark.

CAN Bus Setup

This section explains how to configure a CAN bus correctly. The following parameters must
first be set: Station number and data transfer rate.

CAN bus station number

Each CAN bus station is assigned its own station number. With this station number, data
can be exchanged with other stations connected to the bus. Up to 31 stations can be in-
stalled in a CAN bus system. However, each station number can only be assigned once.

CAN bus data transfer rate

The data transfer rate (baud rate) for the CAN bus can be set. However, the longer the
length of the bus, the smaller the transfer rate that must be selected.

Value Baud rate Maximum length

00 615 kBit/s 60 m
01 500 kbit/s 80 m
02 250 kBit/s 160 m
03 125 kBit/s 320 m
04 100 kBit/s 400 m
05 50 kBit/s 800 m
06 20 kBit/s 1200 m
07 1 Mbit / s 30 m

These values are valid for the following cable: 120 , Twisted Pair.

NOTE: the following is valid for the CAN bus protocol: 1 kBit/s = 1 kBaud.

Configuration of the Process Module

15.03.2016 Page 15
CCP 521 C-DIAS PROCESSOR MODULE

To enter the mode for setting changes, press and hold the SET button while the C-IPC is
booting.

When the following appears in the display:

the SET button can be released.

After releasing the SET button, the first menu appears in the display.

With several short presses of the SET button, it is possible to switch through the various
menu points. By pressing the SET button for approximately 1.5 s, the menu is accessed
and the setting can be changed with short presses.

Once the desired changes are made, press the SET button for about 5 seconds to end the
process. If the changes are to be discarded, press the RESET button to restart the C-IPC.

The settings for the IP address, subnet mask and gateway are hexadecimal, whereas in
the left and right digits, 0 - F must be entered separately. The switch occurs when the SET
button is pressed for about 1.5 s.

The values from AUTOEXEC.LSL are used as the standard settings; changes are written
back to this file. Before this, the original content of the file is written to AUTOEXEC.BAK.

CAN Bus Termination

In a CAN bus system, both end modules must be terminated. This is necessary to avoid
transmission errors caused by reflections in the line.

Wiring and Mounting Instructions

Earth Connection

The CCP 521 must be connected to earth over the mounting on the back wall of the control
cabinet or over the earth terminal provided (C-DIAS module carrier). It is important to cre-
ate a low-ohm earth connection, only then can error-free operation be guaranteed. The
earth connection should have the maximum cross section and the largest electrical surface
possible.

Any noise signals that reach the CCP 521 over external cables must be filtered out over
the earth connection. With a large (electrical) surface, high frequency noise can also be
well dissipated.

15.03.2016 Page 19
CCP 521 C-DIAS PROCESSOR MODULE

Shielding

The wiring for the CAN bus, Ethernet and VARAN bus must be shielded. The low-ohm
shielding is either connected at the entry to the control cabinet or directly before the CCP
521 processor module over a large surface (cable grommets, grounding clamps)!

Noise signals can therefore be prohibited from reaching the electronics and affecting the
function.

ESD Protection

Before any device is connected to or disconnected from the CCP 521, the potential with
ground should be equalized (by touching the control cabinet or earth terminal). Static elec-
tricity (from clothing, footwear) can therefore be reduced.

Working with and on the CCP 521

 Valid operating and safety guidelines for personal safety must always be observed.
 With installation /initial start-up / product maintenance, the relevant measures for ESD
protection must be taken.
(For example: the employees must ground themselves before they start working with and on the
product.

sometimes lead to partial loss of remnant data.

The file system does not support safe writing through SRAM

If files are stored, modified or written on the microSD card from the user program, these
files must always be stored with a fixed maximum size. Since changes in size and the sim-
ultaneous shutdown of the voltage supply can corrupt the file system, a later change in the
file size is not allowed.

Data Breakpoint

This CPU does not support the data breakpoint is a feature.

Note on SRAM Behavior

Because the SRAM (remnant memory) is emulated via the microSD card, there are two
different mechanisms for saving SRAM data to the microSD card:

1. Cyclic writing when data is changed (default)

2. Writing only in the event of PowerFail with a backup time buffered through the
hardware (starting with version 01.02.195)

The advantage of cyclic writing is that in the event of a severe system crash, it's possible to
reference an image of the SRAM data that with the standard settings, is a maximum of 1
minute older than the last change. With extensive use, the amount and frequency of SRAM
data changes from the user program can have a massive effect on the microSD card
lifespan.

Detailed information regarding the SRAM behavior and the corresponding settings can be
found in the LASAL OS documentation, in the chapter “SRAM”.

In the LASAL CLASS project, seldom changed value settings in retentive servers as well
as RamEx and StringRam objects, can be converted to file storage. Should existing objects
be converted from SRAM to File, the loader version 02.02.140 or higher and the RamEx
and StringRam classes of the Tools library version 01.02.033 or higher must be used.

If the user program runs cyclic writing processes in files, the tool “Flash Media Lifetime
Calculation” included in LASAL CLASS can be used to determine the effects of the opera-
tions mentioned above on the flash media. This allows the lifespan of the media to be cal-
culated for different, configurable writing scenarios.

Recommended Shielding for VARAN

The real-time VARAN Ethernet bus system exhibits very robust characteristics in industrial
environments. Through the use of IEEE 802.3 standard Ethernet physics, the potentials
between an Ethernet line and sending/receiving components are separated. Messages to a
bus participant are immediately repeated by the VARAN Manager in the event of an error.
The shielding described below is principally recommended.

For applications in which the bus is run outside the control cabinet, the correct shielding is
required. Especially when for structural reasons, the bus line must be placed next to strong
electromagnetic interference. It is recommended to avoid placing VARAN bus lines parallel
to power cables whenever possible.

SIGMATEK recommends the use of CAT5e industrial Ethernet bus cables.

For the shielding, an S-FTP cable should be used.

An S-FTP bus is a symmetric, multi-wire cable with unshielded pairs. For the total shield-
ing, a combination of foil and braiding is used. A non-laminated variant is recommended.

The VARAN cable must be secured at a distance of 20 cm from the connector for
protection against vibration!

Le câble VARAN doit être protégé contre les vibrations à moins de 20 cm du con-
necteur (par exemple à l’aide d’une pince)!

1. Wiring from the Control Cabinet to an External VARAN Com-

ponent
If the Ethernet lines are connected from a VARAN component to a VARAN node located
outside the control cabinet, the shielding should be placed at the entry point to the control
cabinet housing. All noise can then be dissipated before reaching the electronic compo-
nents.

2. Wiring Outside of the Control Cabinet

If a VARAN bus cable must be placed outside of the control cabinet only, no additional
shield connection is required. This requires that only IP67 modules and connectors be
used. These components are very robust and noise resistant. The shielding for all sockets
in IP67 modules are internally connected to common bus or electrically connected to the
housing, whereby the deflection of voltage spikes does not flow through the electronics.

3. Shielding for Wiring Within the Control Cabinet

Sources of strong electromagnetic noise located within the control cabinet (drives, Trans-
formers, etc.) can induce interference in a VARAN bus line. Voltage spikes are dissipated
over the metallic housing of a RJ45 connector. Noise is conducted over the control cabinet
without additional measures needed on the circuit board of electronic components. To
avoid error sources with data exchange, it is recommended that shielding be placed before
any electronic components in the control cabinet.

4. Connecting Noise-Generating Components

When connecting power lines to the bus that generate strong electromagnetic noise, the
correct shielding is also important. The shielding should be placed before a power element
(or group of power elements).

5. Shielding Between Two Control Cabinets

If two control cabinets must be connected over a VARAN bus, it is recommended that the
shielding be located at the entry points of each cabinet. Noise is therefore prevented from
reaching the electronic components in both cabinets.
