User memory Central processing

... /
' Inputs/Outputs
unit (CPU)

The instructions for linking the input signals and formation of the actual
output states are entered by the user in the user memory, arranged in 11 words 11 •
Each word having a length of 16 bits comprises a complete instruction,
subdivided into CODE and OPERAND. The CODE states 11 what 11 is to be executed,
whilst the OPERAND states 11 where 11 the element in question is located.
The instructions are read and interpreted consecutively by the CPU. After an
instruction has been processed, the step counter reading is incremented by 1
and the next instruction in the user memory is read. Additionally, the logical
states of the elements (H or L) are interrogated by the CPU via the data bus.
Each linkage result is stored in the accumulator (ACCU). With an output in-
struction, the result of the operation for example is transferred to an output.
The CPU contains all units required for auxiliary functions, such as e.g.
timer and counter registers, flag memories, index registers, etc. The return
addresses for subroutines are stored in additional memories.

1) The registers 288 to 479 may be used as counters with the PCA14 from
version V6.034 onwards.

(3) LED-displays user memory

(!)The terminal board is plugged onto the circuit board. Wires with cross-
sections up to 1.5 mm 2 are accepted by the screw terminals.
~The buffered battery supplies the non-volatile flags, counters/timers and,
if used, the 6116 or 6264 RAM chip user memory. Data are retained approx. 2
months with the PLC switched off. The pluggable NiCd cell lasts approx. 5
years (order no. for spare batteries: no. 4'507'1360'0).
0 The LED "CPU RUN" (yellow) blinks every 2s during normal operation. When the
time base is set to 0.01s, the blinking rate is 0.2s. If the LED stays on or
off, there is either no power available, the PLC is in RESET mode, the CPU
has a malfunction or a trap has been produced in the software sequence.
The LED RUN" (green) is illuminated when the CPU is in the operating mode
11

RUN and the user program is executed normally.

The watchdog monitoring indicator (green) is illuminated when the watchdog
relay is excited.
~The 25-pole connector for the extension cable (only on the PCA157) allows
connection to housing •. C45 which means that the number of I+O addresses is
increased from 64 to 128 I+O or 112 to 224 I+O respectively.
~The 25-pole PGU connector is used to connect the programming unit .. P05
or any other programming unit by using the programming interface PCA0.P01.
Also the display modules PCAl.Dll and .. D13 can be connected here.

~The 28-pole plug-in socket accomodates the user memory. When inserting,
please make sure that the index groove is at the top. If memory chips
with a 24-pole socket are used (e.g. 6116, 2716, 2732A), please insert
in such a way that they are flush with the lower edge of the socket.
The following memory chips can be used:
- unbuffered RAM chips, on plug-in socket .
No. 4 1 502 1 4512 1 0 (type 6116) for lK program lines (24-pole)
No. 4 1 502 1 4718 1 0 (type 6264 or 8464) for 4K program lines (28-pole)
Comment: The RAM 6116 and 6264 or 8464 allow writing. erasing and modi-
fication of a program. On voltage failure, the memory contents are stored
via the buffered battery for approx. 2 months. The program, however, is
not transportable, because the data stored is lost, if the RAM chip is
removed.
- buffered RAM chips, on plug-in socket
PCA1.R92 for 2K program lines (24-pole, with write lead) 1 >
PCA1.R95 for 4K program lines (28-pole) ~ see page 818
PCA1.R96 for 4K program lines (28-pole)
In contrast to the unbuffered RAM chip, the program in this memory is
transportable, since it is protected by an integrated circuit and a
lithium battery which lasts approx. 8 years ( .. R96 approx. 6 years).
These chips are therefore particularly suitable for starting the con-
troller.
- EPROM chips, on plug-in socket
No. 4 1 502 1 4373 1 0 (type 2716) for lK program lines (24-pole)
No. 4 1 502 1 4644 1 0 (type 2732A) for 2K program lines (24-pole)
No. 4 1 502 1 4719 1 0 (type 2764) for 4K program lines (28-pole)
According to the prior art, reliable operation of user programs over
a period of several years is only ensured, if EPROM memories are used.
The manufacturers chosen by us guarantee program safety for at least
10 years.
It is recommended to protect the window of the EPROM by means of a
sticker to prevent the memory from being accidently subjected to
UV-radiation.
~Connector for the write lead for the types PCA1.R91/R92/R94 ( .. R91 and .. R94
are no more available).

1
> Attention: Neither the write lead nor the connector WR must be touched or
get into contact with the frame, since otherwise changes in
contents may occur.

Function of the preselection jumpers

~Watchdog/external reset (factory setting: jumper in position watchdog)

According to the block circuit diagram in chapter "Power supply", terminal
7 of the terminal board can be preselected either for the break contact of
the WO-relay or as a fast reset input (see chapter "Fast external RESET
circuit 11 ) .
(2) NVOL (factory setting: not inserted)
If the jumper is inserted, all flags, timer and counter registers are non-
volatile (retentive).
1/10 (factory setting: jumper inserted)
If the jumper is inserted, the time-base is 1/10s. If the jumper is not
inserted, the time-base is to 1/100s.
~ Preselection for the user memory
Corresponding to the type of memory and storage capacity the jumpers must
be inserted differently (see the following table).
Attention: Do not use any other combinations, as these can cause damage to
the CPU.

~ The serial data interface is connected on the circuit board. Depending on

wiring, it can be defined whether the PCA14 is active or passive at the

~The buffer battery supplies the retentive flags, counters/timers and, if
used, the 6116 or 6264 RAM chip user memory. The data is protected for
approx. 2 months when the PLC is switched off. The NiCd cells last approx.
5 years. Spare battery no. 4 507 1195 0. A new version with a plug-in

sequence.
~ The ERROR lamp (red) indicates errors at the serial data interface. For
details refer to chapter "The serial data interface" (see manual software
level 2).
~The watchdog monitoring lamp (red) is illuminated when the watchdog relay
is excited. Please refer to chapter "The watchdog monitoring circuit" for
details.

~ The 25-pole connector (PGU) is used to connect the programming unit. A
latch is not provided, because the mode selected on the operating mode
selector switch remains operative (unlike the PCA2) when the programming
unit is removed.
~ The operating mode selector switch is used for starting up, trouble-
shooting and editing of texts. Position "LCM" (transfer from e.g. RAM to
EPROM) is not available, because this function is not possible with the
PCAl; the PCA2.P16 copying unit is required.
(10)
~ The two 28-pole sockets accomodate the user or text memory "PROG" or "TEXP
respectively (see chapter "Organization of program and text memory''). When
inserting them, make sure that the groove points to the top. If 25-pole
sockets are used (e.g. 6116, 2716, 2732A), please insert in such a way
that they are flush with the lower edge of the socket. The following
- memory types can be used.
. RAM chip on socket
4 502 4512 0 (type 6116) for lK program lines (24-pole)
4 502 4718 0 (type 6264 or 8464) for 4K program lines (28-pole)
Comment: The 6116 and 6264 or 8464 RAMs allow writing, erasing and modifi-
cation of a program. On power failure, the memory contents are stored by
the buffer battery for approx. 2 months. The program, however, is not
transportable, because the data stored is lost, if the RAM chip is removed .

Type PCA1.R96 for 4K program lines (28-pole)
User programs can be introduced on the left socket (PROG) as well as on the
right socket (TEXT). Text can only be introduced on the right socket. For

- programming or introduction of texts please insert the write lead for the
left socket on the left and that for the right socket on the right. In
order to avoid program mutations interrupt both connections during conti-
nuous operation in the RUN mode.
Contrary to the 6116 or 6264 RAM chip, the program in this memory is
transportable, since it is protected by an integrated circuit and a
lithium battery which lasts approx. 8 years. This module is therefore
particularly suitable for starting up the controller.
For copying of programs please refer to chapter "PCA2.Pl6 EPROM-copying
unit".

- 1) Attention: Neither the wire lead nor the connector WR must be touched or get
into contact with the ground, since otherwise changes in contents
may occur.

No. 4 502 4719 0 (type 2764) for 4K program lines (28-pole)
According to prior art, reliable operation of user programs over a period
of several years is only ensured, if EPROM memories are used. The manufac-
turers chosen by us guarantee program safety for at least 10 years.
It is recommended to protect the window of the EPROM by means of a sticker
in order to prevent the memory from being accidently subjected to UV-
radiation.
An extension of the text and data memory up to 40K bytes is possible by
using the modules PCA2.R20 and R25.

A 3.4 Organization of program and text memory

All RAM, EPROM or buffered RAM-memory modules mentioned in paragraph "28-pole
socket for user memory" can be used both for user programs and texts.
User programs can have a length of up to BK program lines (at 16 bits). With
user programs having a length of more than 4K, the first 4K are stored in the
PROG memory on the left (1K ... 4K) and up to 4K more can be stored in the TEXT
memory on the right (5K ... BK).
If, e.g., only 2K-memories are available and a user program of> 2K has to be
prepared, the 1. and the 2.K can be stored on the left socket PROG (addresses
0 ... 2047) and the 3. and the 4.K on the right socket (addresses 4096 ... 6143).
Texts having a length of up to BK characters (at B bits) can only be stored in
the TEXT memory on the right.

~The program is executed. In order that output A5 flashes, a
voltage of +24V must be applied to input El. The easiest way to
do this is to lead a wire from the power supply terminal + to
input terminal El. As long as this connection exists, AS flashes
at a frequency of !Hz (if present, the jumper on the B90-module
must be 11 - 11 (minus)).
~If the time base is to be changed to l/100s, proceed as follows:
Switch off PLC, remove jumper 11 1/10 11 • Switch on PLC again.
~output A5 flashes 10 times faster, i.e. at 10Hz. The selection
of the time base of l/100s is also recognizable by the higher
flashing frequency of the CPU-lamp (yellow).
e) Blinker example with watchdog activated
If in the preceding example the watchdog is to be activated, the instruction
COO 255 must be added to this circulating program. In order that this in-
struction be executed during each cycle independently of the indicator pro-
gram, it must be preceded by SEA.

A 5.3 Voltage monitoring

Both the supply voltage V1n and the 5V of the PCAl and the extension housing
the CPU is set in RESET mode, i.e. all volatile flags as well as all outputs
are reset. When the input voltage is switched on (or switched on again), the
CPU is cleared for operation after 100ms. This delay allows safe resetting of
all outputs and provides a clearly defined starting position for program
execution.

A 5.4 Watchdog monitoring circuit

Both the PCA15/14 and the housing •• C45 incorporate this circuit. The two
watchdog circuits of the PCA157/147 and the extension housing .. C45 are
connected with an extension cable. Via the watchdog circuit, correct user
program execution can be monitored reliably and, if a malfunction occurs,
effective safety measures can be taken.
The watchdog relay remains excited (contact 5 and 6 closed) as long as address
255 receives a square-wave signal of~ 5Hz. This signal is generated easily
with the COO 255 instruction in a circulating monitoring program. Terminals 5
and 6 remain connected (refer to the block circuit diagram for "Power supply")
as long as the CPU functions properly in the RUN mode. If a malfunction occurs
in the CPU or if any operating mode but RUN is selected, contact 5 a.~ opens
and the WO warning lamp is illuminated.
The following safety circuit is recommended (factory setting of watchdog
jumper(s)), where the WO-contact 5 interrupts the power supply of the PLC
(as well as of the extension housing •. C45) in case of drop of a WO-relay.
The CPU provides resetting of the outputs. The breaking capacity of WO-con-
tacts 5, 6 and 7 is 1.5A, 48VAC or DC. The WO-contact is therefore not to
be used for direct switching of the total output current.

A 5.5 Fast external RESET circuit

The watchdog monitoring circuit is in any case recommended as a safety measure.
As an alternative, the external reset can be used for an extremely fast reset-
ting of the microprocessor and all the outputs.
Terminal 7 can be connected to the RESET circuit (instead of being connected
to the WO-contact) by moving the jumper from WO to RESET. After applying the
ground potential (M) at terminal 7, all the outputs are reset within 2ms. They
remain reset for at least 100ms. If a RESET signal is applied over a longer
time, the outputs remain reset fort +25ms. Apart from the outputs, all the
other volatile (non-retentive) registers are reset.

Important
For safety reasons however, it is recommended that extra-low voltages (up to
50V) and low voltages (51 to 250V) should not be used on the same card, or that
one channel should be left unused between them.
If highly inductive, 220VAC loads are to be switched (e.g. control relays or
valves), it is recommended that an additional spark protection be connected
across the load or the contact. Thus, arcing to the coil circuit can be
prevented successfully. The following values are recommended:
R (0) = load Z (0)
C (µF) = current (A)
For DC-voltages the transistor output modules are recommended.

The output module PCA1.A50 with static relay can be used to control resistor
loads (lamps, heating equipment) and to control inductive loads (motors,
valves, contactors). The outputs are opto-isolated against the CPU and against
one another. The integrated zero-switches who set load at the zero-passage,
have a very positive effect on lifetime, number of switch operations and
interference suppression.

What to do in the event of a short-circuit

In a short-circuited load circuit, the output current is limited to IA. If the
short-circuit remains, the output is switched off after 0.5 - 2s. From this
moment on, every 0.5s a new attempt is made of switching it on again. When the
short-circuit is removed, the output is automatically switched on again.

Handling of the date-time

Owing to its higher accuracy, the hardware date-time is considered the master
as compared with the software date-time. The comfortable instructions such as
PAS 50 and the special text characters $T, $H and $0 (see PCA14 manual), how-
ever, refer only to the software date-time. It is therefore necessary to
synchronize the hardware and the software date-time at times (e.g. every 24h).
Moreover, the date and time values of the hardware date-time must be set on the
first start-up.
Make sure that synchronization of the software date-time and setting of the
hardware date-time are performed only when required in order to prevent the
hardware date-time from being permanently blocked.
Its handling will be described in detail on the following pages.

As evident from the above figure, a flag field (for the whole contents 60 or
68 flags) as well as 1 counter must be reserved for the duration of the data
transfer between both date-times. The transfer from the hardware date-time to
the flag field or vice versa is effected serially with the address 0. The
addresses 6 and 7 are used as control signals.
Address 0: This address is used for the data transfer between the date-time and
the flags.
Address 6: With address 6 a clock is generated. With every clock signal a data
bit is received or transmitted by the hardware date-time.
Address 7: Chip select. In order to activate the data transfer, this address
must be set to 11 H11 • As soon as the transmission is finished, address
7 must be reset to 11 L11 •

Transfer direction

When reading the hardware date-time the individual bits are read in the
sequence LSB ... MSB. To guarantee that the format corresponds to the read-in
instruction for 2 x 4 bits BCD (code 16 in the 2nd line of the instruction
SCR), make sure that the LSB of the individual date-time values is at the
highest flag address. For the sake of an optimum transfer routine hardware 11

date-time to software date-time" the control bits are fitted with the 4
highest (out of 60) flag addresses. This results in the above inverse 11 11

transfer direction.

SAINPLC Programmable controllers

348

Function of the control bits

The 4 control bits tell the date-time "what to do 11 • The first three bits
received by the date-time define the data to be transmitted. The 4th bit is
used to determine whether the date-time is set or read.
These 4 control bits must be transmitted before every data transfer, irres-
pective of whether the date-time is set or read.

Examples
1. Setting the hardware date-time (whole contents)
During the first startup of the hardware date-time, the correct values must
be set. Proceed as follows:
- The current date-time values are introduced into the software date-time
(e.g. with a PCA2.P05, see chapter "Operating modes").
- In the STEP-mode the following routine is selected and executed. The hard-
ware date-time automatically accepts the values of the software date-time
and keeps on running, irrespective of whether the PLC stays switched on.
This procedure can be repeated, if after months the deviation from the
actual date-time has become too great.

2. Reading the hardware date-time (whole contents)

The routine "Reading the hardware date-time" must be executed after each
voltage failure upon switching on the PLC aga-:rn:-It can also be called in
the main program depending on internal or external conditions, ensuring that
the software date-time does never deviate much from the hardware date-time.
It is of advantage to write the program ''Reading the hardware date-time" as
a subroutine.

3. Transferring the seconds from the hardware date-time (to software date-time)
As is well known, it is also possible to transfer only single values of the
date-time. If the software date-time is regularly synchronized with the

1) The counter value of 0... 255 corresponds to an output voltage of 0 ... 10V.
The resolution, however, is only 7 bits.
2) If this module uses, for example, the addresses 24 to 31, it must be noted
that the highest address of the card is 31. This means that input channel 3
corresponds to address 27, the output channel corresponds to address 30 and
the block or clear command is assigned to address 31.

Connection to the process

A voltage output is made up of the plug-in DIA-converter and the two soldered-
in amplifiers.
The standard output voltage is 0... 10v. For special applications, appropriate
precision resistors are soldered in.
The signals are always measured potential to ground.

Software
Output analog value
The 12-bit digital value to be output must be applied at the inputs of the D/A-
converters. By means of an instruction (ORH 0... 3) this value is stored and
output as analog value by the DIA-converter.
The unchanged analog values of all 4 outputs are available to the process as
long as they are not redefined by means of a new instruction.
Procedure
With the series PCAl only 8 element addresses are available per I/0-module. In
order to process the 12-bit data, they are split up into two words consisting
of 6 bits each and processed one after the other.
The following steps must be distinguished:
A) Transfer the first 6 bits (starting with LSB) to buffer 1 (SEO 7)

B) Transfer the second 6 bits (up to MSB) to buffer 0 (REO 7)

C) Select the output channel with ORH 0... 3 and trigger DIA-conversion at the
same time.

Connection to the process

Connection of the input channels
The common-mode voltage range of all input channels is ±10V 1 i.e., both
potentials of each input channel must be within ±l0V with respect to the
ground. Under this condition correct registration of the measured data
is ensured.
Preselection of the I-ranges:
- The process ground or measuring amplifier ground must be connected to
the user ground of the PLC.
- The input voltage range of 10/20V is preselected jointly for all inputs
of a module via the connector.
- Whether bipolar voltages (±V) or unipolar voltages are to be registrated,

- is preselected jointly for all inputs of a module via the connector B/U.
- Operation with current can be selected for each input individually via the
plug (C = current, V = voltage). If the connector is plugged into C, a pre-
cision resistance of 4990 is switched into this input circuit, the voltage
of which is evaluated. The current range depends on the selected voltage
range (10V ~ 20mA).
The following table shows the three basic ranges with respect to the
corresponding digital value:

Digital value Unipolar u Bipolar operation B

operation
(connector 10V) (connector 10V) (connector 20V)
4095 +10V (+20mA) +SV (+10mA) +10V (+20mA)
2048 +5V (+10mA) 0V ( 0mA) 0V ( 0mA)
0 0V ( 0mA) -SV (-10mA) -10V (-20mA)

In case of unipolar operation the positive potential is applied to the plus-

terminal. Figures a and b show the connection scheme for the measurement of
positive or negative voltages respectively.

Software
With the version PCAl only 8 element addresses are available per IIO-module. In
order to process the 12-bit data, they are split up into two words consisting
of 6 bits each and processed one after the other.
Word 0: contains the high-order 6 bits including MSB
Word 1: contains the low-order 6 bits including LSB

Read analog value (input channels)

For reading an analog value the following 3 steps are necessary:
A) Select input channel (OUT 0 ... 3)
B) Initiate actual AID-conversion (SEO 6, REO 6)
C) Select the 6-bit word group 0 or 1 (REOISEO 7)

Read the analog value in the form of a subroutine (input channel)

The following versions a to c are distinguished by their software levels,
program lengths, execution times and the number of program changes. Version
c results in the shortest execution time. With the standard execution time
of 2.03 ms, however, the PP-change is blocked and the serial interface is
no longer operated for this period. If the serial interface is to function
with a baud rate of 4800 or 9600 bauds simultaneously, either version a or b
can be used or version c with the commands NOP 1111 (operation of the data

the flag area 400 •.. 411. With version c the flags 412 and 413 are also used
(because of the transfer of 8 bits instead of 6 bits). The routine c finally
transfers the value to counter C300.

Output analog value (output channels)

The 12-bit digital value to be output must be applied at the inputs of the
digitallanalog converters. This value is stored by means of an instruction
(ORH 0 or 1) and output as analog value by the DIA-converter. The unchanged
analog values of the 2 outputs are available to the process as long as they
are not redefined by another instruction.
In order to output an analog value from a bit pattern in the flag area, 3 steps
are necessary:
A) Transfer the first 6 bits (starting with LSB) to buffer 1 (SEO 7)

B) Transfer the second 6 bits (up to MSB) to buffer 0 (REO 7)

Release of the DIA-conversion (SEO 6)
C) Select the output channel with ORH 0 ... 1 and trigger the DIA-conversion at
the same time. Block DIA-conversion again (REO 6).

DATA LINES connection between PCA1.F2 and PCA14

Like an I/0-module, the module PCA1.F2 can be plugged into any location on
the PCA14. Wiring must be effected in such a way that the 20mA-current loop
of the PCA14 is active.
The external connection CPU ---> F2 is performed observing the same rules which
apply to the cable layout of a 20mA-current loop. Two PCA1.F2-modules can be
connected in series resulting in an increase of the number of interfaces to
max. 4.

Address assignment and function of the signals

The peripheral interface of the PCA1.F21 or the two interfaces of the PCA1.F22
respectively must be managed by the user program. 1n order to make this
possible, 3 status and 3 control signals each which can be set or read in the
user program are available for each connector.

Function of the control signals

SEL 0 1
I With the instruction SEO SEL 0, 1 the data
(Select) lines (TxD, RxD) of the respective peri-
pheral connector 0 or 1 are connected
to the DATA LINES of the PCA14.
With the read commands (e.g. STH SEL 0, 1)
it can be determined which peripheral
connector was connected to the DATA LINES.

DTR These three signals are control signals as

(Data Terminal Ready) described in the standard RS 232c. They can
be set in the user program, thus supplying
RTS 1) certain instructions or states to the con-
(Request to Send) nected peripheral unit. The signals can be
interpreted in different ways depending on
ADC the peripheral unit.
(Auto Dialer Control)

DSR These three signals are status signals as

(Data Set Ready) described in the standard RS 232c. They
can be read in the user program. The indi-
CTS 1) vidual signals are interpreted depending
{Clear to Send) on the peripheral unit and must be pro-
cessed correspondingly in the user
DCD program.
(Data Carrier Detect)

1) Similar to the input/output module PCA1.B90 two signals each use the same
address. (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, ADC/DCD). Consequently, one signal can only be
set, the other one can only be read (see also Address assignment").

permits checking the function of the connected peripheral unit.
If no jumper is inserted for the status or control signals, the corresponding
LED is permanently illuminated.
The LEDs "TxD" and "RxD light up, if data is being transmitted or received.

Applications
- Counting of pulses up to a frequency of 10kHz: For example, from pulse
generators, which are used for the determination of angles of rotation,
throughput quantities, number of items or digital lengths.
- Recognition of the sense of rotation with 2-channel incremental shaft en-
coders: For example, for positioning with DC-current motors and connected
pulse generators.
- Output of control pulses (2-fold): This allows positioning of x-y-tables,
palletizing devices, handling robots with an appropriate stepping motor
control.
- Measuring of frequencies, period lengths or pulse lengths, e.g. for deter-
mining the speed, number of revolutions, flow, synchronization, frequency,
etc.
- Output of register contents to display modules PCA2.Dl2 (4 decades) or
PCA2.D14 (2 x 6 decades).

B 2.1 Programming units

B 2.1.1 Hand-held programming unit PCA2.P05
This compact programming unit was developed in particular for the series PCA0,
but it can also be used for the series PCAl and PCA2.
All operating modes can be selected with keys. Programming is performed in the
PROG -operating mode by means of a 10-part keyboard in simple numerical code.
11 11

All elements (inputs, outputs, flags, timers, counters) can be queried or set
in the "MAN"-operating mode.
All timer and counter values can be indicated in the RUN-mode. In the operating
mode "STEP a jump can be effected to any program line (= step address) of the
11

user memory. Finally, "BREAK" permits the program processing up to a set break-
point and continuation in step-by-step operation. For details refer to chap-
ter C "Operating modes".
It must be noted that the keys for selecting the operating modes must be
pressed at least 0.Ss for safety reasons. The selected mode is displayed by
the corresponding LED.
In the case of PCA14, the operating modes are selected with the sliding
switch on the basic module.

B 2.1.5 Programming unit PCA2.P18

Brief description
The programming unit PCA2.Pl8 is a compact and versatile means which can be
used for programming all SAIA 0 PLC as well as for servicing.
The P18 uses the commercial hand-held computer, type NEC 8201A, as hardware.
Compactness combined with a high degree of intelligence, an efficient firm-
ware and a variety of peripherals form an ideal portable programming unit,
be it on your desk or out in the field.
With the SAIA 0 PLC connected (via PGU-connector), the P18 makes programming
very easy. Moreover, SAIA 0 PLC texts can be edited or all PLC-registers can
be accessed on-line for servicing purposes via the 20mA-data line of the
PCA14 and PCA15.
In short, the following functions are possible:
- Programming in numerical or mnemonic code
- Display of program sections and texts
- Search functions
- Storage and loading of user programs and texts
- Printing of programs (on an external printer)
- Editing and output of SAIA 0 PLC texts
- Acces to data and registers of the SAIA 0 PLC while user program is running.
Thanks to the permanently stored BASIC-interpreter and the text processing
program, the P18 can also be used as a portable personal computer. Numerous
additional interfaces and the corresponding software support communication
with peripheral units such as printer, modem, tape unit, disk drive unit and
bar code reader.
A detailed description is supplied with each unit.

B 2.1.6 SAIA 0 PCA ASSEMBLER

The software package SAIA 0 PCA ASSEMBLER for comfortable programming,
documentation and starting-up
The PCA-ASSEMBLER makes programming of the PCA-family of controllers very easy.
The user is efficiently supported in his work by practical menus and the
appropriate auxiliary pages which means that he virtually does not require a
manual or a knowledge of MS-DOS.
The user program is written in the so-called 11 Editor 11 using a conventional text
processing program (e.g. Personal Editor or Wordstar). It is possible to use
practice-oriented designations for the operands to mark jumps in the form of
symbols and labels which are then converted to a PCA-program by the actual
"Assembler" and 11 Linker 11 • Macros with parameters can be implemented for
frequently used routines and comments can be used for clearly documenting
the new program.
Further possibilities of the new PCA assembler include the modular and global
documentation, presentation as flow-charts, an efficient cross-reference list
and it is also possible to load the program directly into the RAM-memory of the
PCA.
Its advantages become obvious particularly when the controller is started up.
In RUN-mode the "Online Debugger" allows the actual states of elements such as
inputs, outputs, flags, timers, counters, registers and the date-time to be
displayed and also modified. The programs 11 P10 11 and 11 CI 11 permit direct access
to the RAM user memory of all PCAs. By selecting the submenu "Program eproms 11 ,
tested user programs can be directly loaded into the EPROM programming units
PCA2.P16 or ERTEC PGS49.
The software package SAIA 0 PCA ASSEMBLER can be run on all IBM-PC/XT/AT or PS/2
or compatible units which fulfil the following conditions:
- 512 Kbyte main memory
- 2 floppy disk drives of 360K or even better 1 floppy disk drive and a hard
disk
- 1 or even better 2 bidirectional, parallel interfaces for controlling a
printer and for connection to the PGU-connector of the PCA
- Monochrome or colour VDU (with MCGA, CGA, EGA, VGA or Hercules cards)
- Keyboard as desired
- Operating system MS-DOS 3.0 or a higher version
- Cable PCA2.K43 for connection to the PGU-connector of the PCA
- Text processing program as desired (Personal Editor and Wordstar are
recommended)
A detailed description is available for every software package.

B 2.1.7 Type PCA2.P16 EPROM-copying unit

Owing to two high- quality sockets (Texttool) the unit can be used for copying
and comparing EPROMs and buffered RAMs independently of other units. The serial
interface RS 232c permits connection of any commercial personal computer. A
program supporting operation of the P16 from the IBM-PC is part of the PCA-
assembler (package no. 3).

(factory setting).
For the type 2732 which has a programming voltage of 25V, a jumper needs to
be re-soldered on the pc-board EP 80 067.
2) For the type 27256, which has a programming voltage of 12.5V, the resistor
R3 (3k6) needs to be changed to 2k on the pc-board EP 80 066.
3) Do not use with SAIA 0 PLC.

Copying
During copying, data is read from a master-IC and written to a copying-IC. When
working without the Personal Computer, i.e. without using the serial interface,
copying can usually be performed only using the same types of EPROM. However,
mixed operation is possible using the EPROM 2764 and buffered RAMs PCA2.R95 or
PCA2.R96. Only the entire memory contents can be copied from the MASTER socket
to the COPY socket.
1. Select the copying EPROM with the appropriate key. The corresponding LED
lights up. For the EPROM-emulators R95 and R96 the keys 2716 and 2732 must
be pressed simultaneously.
2. Insert the master-IC and the copy-IC in the frames. Take care that the notch
or pin 1 respectively is at the top on the left.
The !Cs are retained in the frames by pressing down the levers. In the case
of the 24-pole !Cs it must be noted that the upper contact openings must not
be covered.

3. Press key 11 PROGRAM 11 • The LED 11 IN USE 11 lights up for a short time. During
this time a check is performed to determine whether the memory module to be
programmed has been erased. Afterwards the LED 11 PROGRAMMING 11 also lights up
until programming is finished. Any errors which occur during programming,
are displayed by the flashing LED 11 ERROR 11 • Moreover, an LED lights up in the
keys indicating the type of error.
Error messages
Key 2716 : EPROM cannot be programmed
Key 2732 : EPROM has not been erased
Key 2764 : EPROMs are different
Key 27128: EPROMs are different and copy-IC empty
Key 27256: 2816 cannot be erased
The error display is cleared with the key 11 ERROR 11 •

Comparing
The procedure is similar to copying. However, The LED 11 PROGRAMMING 11 does not
light up. Proceed as follows:
1. Select copying-EPROM with the appropriate key.
2. Press key 'VERIFY'.
If no error message appears, the contents of the two memory modules are the
same. The flashing LED 11 ERROR indicates an error (see list of errors).

Erasing the 2816 (EEPROM)

In order to erase the 2816, press the key 'ERROR' and 1 2716 1 simultaneously.
Important: The memory module 2816 cannot be used together with the SAIA 0 PLC.

Serial interface RS 232c

The integrated serial interface offers the experienced user manifold possibi-
1ilities of programming the Pl6 from a Personal Computer. See also chapter B.6
of the manual PCA2.P16.
When the PCA2.K46 cable is used, the transfer of data is supported under menu-
guidance by the SAIA 0 PCA ASSEMBLER with the "Program eproms 11 program.

B 2.1.8 Type PCA1.R95/R96 Buffered RAM chip

RAM-memories are read-/write-memories, which means that the information ran be
modified at any time with the aid of a programming unit (as data memory ;n the
PCA14 also via the user program).
The buffered RAM chip is the ideal memory chip serving as a program and text
memory from the programming stage to the start-up. Owing to the incorporated
buffer battery and the protective electronic system this memory chip can be
detached from the PLC and transported without modif~·ing its contents.
The slightly conductive plastic socket protects the pins against static
charges, thus avoiding memory content changes. The internal battery is
thereby not discharged.

the socket). The following footnotes should be read for indexed text out-
put and limit addresses.

1) As is known, texts may be output in indexed form. For text subroutines

(CPU socket) in the address range 0 ... 818 only 3 figures are available
for addressing.

Text input
A text input effected directly on the PCA1.R20 card is not provided for. There
are two possibilities of entering texts:
1. Using PCA14. Texts are entered into a buffered RAM-memory module (R95 or
R96), which is located on the right socket of the CPU. Therefore, the text
addresses 0 ... 818 are used. Upon termination of the input, the memory mo-
dule is plugged into the corresponding address location on the R20 module.
2. Using the text assembler of the SAIA 0 PCA ASSEMBLER and the PCA2.Pl6 EPROM
copying unit or the programming unit PCA2.P21.
Proceed as described under 1.

Text output (call text in the user program with PAS 23)
When calling the text, the basic addresses of the text (2000 to 8000) must be
added in the 2nd line of the PAS 23 instruction in accordance with the selec-
ted socket. For indexed text calls those basic addresses exceed the basic ad-
dresses by 1000 (3000 to 9000), see description in chapter "Memory structure".
Important notes:
a) Text stored on the PCA1.R20 module are addressed using 4 digits. It must
be noted for text subroutines that $L must always be followed by 4 digits.
b) A text subroutine which uses the addresses 2000 •.. 8818 cannot be called by
a text using the addresses 0 ... 818. However, a subroutine in the address
range 0 ... 818 can be called by a text in the address range 2000 ... 8818,
whereby the subroutine address must be entered using 4 digits (e.g.
$L 0412).

B 2.2.2 PCA2.D12 Display module

General
The PCA2.012 module is a remote display which can be controlled via SAIA 0 PLC
outputs. It has a 4-digit display and is able to indicate a decimal point. The
display can be built in anywhere at a greater distance to the PLC e.g. in the
door of a control cabinet or an operating panel. Due to data transmission being
effected via outputs, several displays can be controlled by one PLC.
In conjunction with the display interface PCA1/2.D13 the 012 can be connected
even at a greater distance to the PGU-connector where the comfortable instruc-
tions OTC and DOP are available.

Structure, function
The module is in the same housing as the electronic totalizing counter of the
CKG type. It consists of the following main components:
- power supply 24VDC
- 3 inputs for 24VDC
- decoder/driver
- 4-digit, 7-segment display with decimal point
The 3 outputs of the PLC resp. the 3 inputs of the display are designated
Enable
11
Data and Clock The Enable signal activates the display, i.e.
11
,
11 11 11 11
•

Enable = "L --> display is able to receive data, Enable = H" --> display is
11 11

inactive (it is not able to receive new data). Via the DATA line data in BCD- 11 11

format is transmitted sequentially, i.e. bit by bit from the SAIA 0 PLC to the
display. The display accepts each bit with the falling edge of the Clock 11 11

signal.
For a complete indication (4 digits with or without decimal point) always 20
clock signals must be generated and 20 data bits must be transmitted (4 BCD-
values + 4 bits for the decimal point).
The following sequence of the 20 data bits must be adhered to:

For the generation of the 11 Clock 11 as well as for the transmission of data the
user must write a short program (examples will follow at the end). In this
program, all functions shown in the above diagram, must be realized.
The minimum clock pulses and waiting times are short, so that the instruction
set of the SAIA 0 PLC can easily be applied directly without waiting for certain
periods to elapse.

Connection of several displays to a PLC

Since the PCA2.D12 module is able to transmit an Enable signal, i.e. it can 11 11

be switched to be active or inactive, the same Clock and Data signals can 11 11 11 11

be used for several displays. These are transmitted to each display simultane-
ously. The Enable signal decides which display is controlled. This means that
11 11

for each display one Enable signal is necessary (1 output per display). This
11 11

also means, however, that for as many displays as desired only one data and
one clock output must be provided.

B 2.2.3 PCAl.013 Display interface
Description
The display interface 013 combines the advantages of the display module
PCAl.Dll (simple software handling via the instruction OTC and DOP for
4-digit decimal displays) and those of the display PCA2.Dl2, which need
not be located anywhere near the SAIA 0 PLC.
The 013 is inserted in the PGU-plug of the SAIA 0 PLC and connected to the
display PCA2.D12 by means of pluggable screw terminals.

Technical data
Supply voltage Vp: 24VDC, ±20%, full-wave rectified is sufficient (supplied
by the display module PCA2.D12)
- 3 opto-isolated outputs for EN, D, CLK
- Connection of 2 displays PCA2.D12 is possible (same display)
- Control by means of the instructions DOP and OTC (see manual Software lH)
- Concerning the cable layout and type of cable between 012 and 013 no special
measures are required. The same general criteria as for the cabling of input
and output modules apply (see chapter A 5).

General
The PCA2.D14 module is a remote display module which is controlled via 3 out-
puts of the SAIA 0 PLC. The module has two 6-digit displays. Several PCA2.D14
can be connected in series in case of more than two displays.

Application, control
The module was developed in connection with the fast counter module PCA1.H10.
In this application controlling is performed by the counter module alone. The
user must only program the appropriate mode in the user program.
When the PCA2.D14 is used without the H10 module, the information to be dis-
played is most easily transmitted serially with a standard program routine from
a flag field via 3 SAIA 0 PLC outputs.
Technical data
Display 2 times 6 digits, 7-segment LED

Setting of operating modes

A PLC can operate in various operating modes for preparing, testing and editing
a program.
PCA14: A sliding switch for selecting the operating modes is provided on the
operating panel. This sliding switch is always active.
PCA15: The operating modes are preselected outside the PLC. The keys of the
programming unit PCA2.P05 are used, or in case a different program-
ming aid such as the handheld computer P18 or an IBM-PC is used, to
select the operating modes with the programming interface PCA0.P01.
The selected operating mode remains active, when the connection
between the programming units and the PCA15 is ended.
The following operating modes are automatically selected when the
PCA15 is switched on.
- With programming unit P05 connected: STEP
(LED 11 STEP 11 lights up, the
green LED 11 RUW 1 does not
light up!)
Without programming unit: RUN

Manual access to the software date-time

In case you use the date-time module E40 refer to chapter B 1, where reading
and writing to the hardware date-time will be explained (black box routines,
Software manual).
All programming units allow direct access to the software date-time (reading
and writing).
Contrary to the buffered hardware date-time (PCA1.E40 module), the software
date-time works only as long as voltage is applied to the PLC. Therefore, all
values have to be introduced each time the PCA14 is started up. The date-time
has a max. deviation factor of 3s/day.
The following table shows the signification and the numerical range for the
addresses 4000 ..• 4007.

[[] "TEXT" or text memory as data register

Input and reading of texts in the text memory
Input of texts is effected on RAM 6116, 6264 or 8464 or on the buffered RAM
modules PCA1.R92/95/96 which are plugged onto the right-hand text socket of
the basic module.
The following 2 possibilities are available:
a) Using one of the PCA programming units, connected via the PGU connector.
b) With a peripheral unit with current loop interface, connected to the
serial data interface (7 terminals on the right).
For detailed description refer to manual Software level 2.

Manual access to the text memor as data (PAS 54)

as of system program version V6. 4
As mentioned in connection with the instruction PAS 54, the text memory can
also be used as data register. In order to understand the monitor function of
the system program, the formats which are used for organizing the various
registers must be brought to mind:
Counter register : binary 16 bits
Text memory : binary 8 bits or 16 bits
(as data register) or BCD 8 bits
For manual access to the text memory as data register the operating mode
selector switch must be set to "TEXT".
• Display of the text memory contents
a) Immediate display of a character value of 8 bits (1 byte) in binary
notation
Upon actuation of key ~ , and subsequent input of the character number
to be displayed (0 ... 8191), the stored value (0 ... 255) is displayed in
the operand field in binary notation.

1930 and 1931 (2 bytes)
in binary notation
In this way, the contents of transferred counters can be displayed with
their total capacity of 16 bits.

c) Display of 1 character no. (1 byte = 8 bits) in BCD-notation

By actuating key (I] (convert) a second time, the bit pattern is displayed
in BCD-notation.

Real BCD-bit patterns are displayed as decimals. If other characters are

present as e.g. at character no. 1930, these are no BCD-bit patterns. In
order to be able to interpret their values nevertheless, the following
7-segment characters are defined in the OPERAND:

Binary 7-segment character

15 blank blank

• Manual data in uts into the text memor

limited RAM-memory in this area
Key 0 subsequent input of the character no., at which the value is to
be stored
Key [] clears the old value and permits new input
Key [] before key 00
means 11 convert 11
after key E means "clear"
Key ~, c:J, 0, [i]: cause storage of the value introduced

Corresponding to the reading of data, 3 cases are distinguished for the

manual input of data:
a) In ut of a binar value of . 48 at a character no.
e. . 7436

1) Always the higher address of a pair of 2 bytes is entered.

2)[[] before [[] results in the conversion to 2 bytes.
3) If values < 10'000 are entered, a 0 must be typed first.
Correction with [£].
4) The character no. is automatically increased by 2.
