Setting up the ASi bus

1. Setting up the ASi bus

 Connect the unit to power.
 Connect the ASi cable to the unit.
 One after the other connect the ASi nodes to the ASi cable and set the node
addresses.
 You may set the addresses directly on the node using a hand addressing
device or by using the option [SLAVE ADDR TOOL] in the display menu of
your gateway.
 In the display menu select [QUICK SETUP] to use the configuration of all
ASi circuits connected to the unit.
 Confirm with [STORE+RUN].
 Set the EtherNet/IP address and connect the gateway to the host fieldbus
controller.
 You can set the addresses directly using the option [ETHERNET/IP] in the
display menu of your gateway or through the PC using the ASIMON360 soft-
ware with integrated ASi Control Tools360.
For more detailed information please refer to the installation guide for your gateway
which is included with the unit.

Tab. 3-9. Description of the ASi-5 flags

Note!
Using these flags it is possible to implement effective ASi diagnostics in the control with
very little effort.

Note!
The ASI5CFG_NOK bit is to be understood as a global enable flag for the input data
and evaluated accordingly in the controller before the process input data is accessed.
If the ASI5CFG_NOK bit is set, the transferred process input data is invalid (substitute
values) and not identical to the actual value in the input module. In the control program,
this must be taken into consideration in order to ensure a defined procedure in the sys-
tem, even in the case of a configuration error.
It is possible to operate ASi without having to program further diagnostics.
For extended diagnostics, the list of ASi-5 configuration errors can be used to subse-
quently determine the exact node number that caused the configuration error.
If the ASi-5 flags indicate errors, we recommend using our PC software (see
<chap. 6.1>).
Note!
The mapping of the ASi-5 process data image, e.g. which node number is correspond-
ing with which byte(s), is available via the display menu of the ASi Master, as well as
via the ASi Control Tools360 or the ASIMON360 software.

The Fieldbus Bits enable communication between the controller and the safety
program. The fieldbus bits can be used to pass any acknowledgment signals or
similar to the safety program and provide status information to the controller.
The states of the ASi Safety in- and outputs are sent to the controller via the input
data image (see par. <Safety diagnostics in the Input Data Image (IDI)>).

4.1 General CIP Safety requirements

For CIP Safety devices the following requirements must be observed:
• The replacement of safety devices requires that the replacement device be
configured properly and operation of the replacement device shall be user
verified.
• If you choose to configure safety connections with an SCID=0, you are res-
ponsible for ensuring that originators and targets have the correct configura-
tions.
• The user should assign SNN numbers for each safety network or safety sub-
net that are unique system-wide.
• If used, the SCID of the configuration log should be compared with the SCID
in the device after download.
• All configured safety features have to be verified through testing.
• The IP address have to be set prior to installing it onto a safety network.
• Consider the implication of mixing different SIL devices on the network.
• Test the safety connection after they are applied in the originator to confirm
the target connection is operating as intended.
• LEDs are NOT reliable indicators and cannot be guaranteed to provide
accurate information. They should ONLY be used for general diagnostics
during commissioning or troubleshooting.
• Do not attempt to use LEDs as operational indicators.

6. Diagnostics

6.1 System diagnostics on the PC

In the event of problems, we recommend starting the Bihl+Wiedemann Suite.
The online bus information contained in ASIMON360 and ASi Control Tools360
provides a quick overview.
The diagnostics software enables detailed analysis of the system and provides
the user with immediate solutions to known problems.

6.1.1 Software for diagnostics, service and release measurements

The intuitively constructed software for diagnostics, service and release measure-
ments enables PC-assisted measurement using the high-level measuring tech-
nology built into the Bihl+Wiedemann masters.
This specially developed software assists both machine and systems builders in
release measurements and preventive troubleshooting as well as end users in
preventive maintenance and fast, self-performed error elimination. As an option
the analysis data can also be sent to our technical support group and used as the
basis for fast, reliable help with problem handling.

6.1.2 ASi Control Tools360

The Software ASi Control Tools360 provide you with all the key testing and confi-
guration possibilities of your ASi circuit in organized fashion on your PC.
A graphic representation of your ASi network provides you with a quick overview
of the system status, showing for example any missing or unprojected nodes. In
addition, peripheral errors and the status of the "ASi Monitors" integrated into the
Masters. The diagnostic buffer (not available with all devices!) stores with a time
stamp in a ring buffer up to 1024 events. The ASi Control Tools360 software also
provides a simple and convenient way to configure new ASi circuits or modify al-
ready existing configurations. This software is also a component of the ASI-
MON360 software.

6.1.3 ASIMON360
The ASIMON360 software is used to configure the safety unit. Already configured
systems can be diagnosed live using the software. The status of all in- and out-
puts is graphically represented as are the results of the preparatory processing.
When projecting the user has the ability to assign unique identifiers to the individ-
ual devices. These also appear in the device displays in connection with error
messages. To prevent errors in the projecting stage the ASIMON360 software
provides advance warning at the relevant points.

6.1.4 Online bus information

The online bus information (function in ASIMON360/ASi Control Tools360) is
Issue date: 02.11.2022

used for easy diagnostics of the modules and for live monitoring and testing of in-
puts and outputs. Errors in the ASi circuit, e.g. non-projected nodes, are visible at
a glance as simple, easily understandable symbols.

Diagnostics

6.1.5 Web server

Units having an Ethernet port provide all the diagnostics data through a web ser-
ver (1). If necessary this also allows the system information to be viewed from any
PC connected to the network without any additional software, simply using a
standard internet browser and Java.
To be able to take advantage of the full scope of diagnostics functions and confi-
guration possibilities of the ASi Masters from Bihl+Wiedemann, you will however
need the ASIMON360 software with integrated ASi Control Tools360 and ideally
also the software for diagnostics, service and release measurement.
Please note that the called up IP address is disabled by a timeout of 2 minutes for
users with a different IP address. This timeout was implemented for reasons of
access security and network stability.
The master is protected against unauthorized access and menu changes by us-
ing the default pin "0000". For safety reasons this pin should always be changed
after the first login. The default pin can be changed in the master's display under:
[SETUP] –> [WEBSERVER] –> [WEBSERVER PIN CHANGE].

6.2 Diagnostics on the host controller

All the diagnostics information is also provided on the host controller.

6.2.1 Diagnostics through process data

Diagnostics through the process data provides a very simple means of incorpo-
rating diagnostics information into the controller program and displaying it on a
control panel.
For useful diagnostics we recommend use of the following modules:

6.2.1.1 Diagnosing the ASi circuits

 Only for gateways with variably configurable Assembly Objects:

 Flags + Fault Detector (see <chap. 3.1.6>)
 List of configuration errors (see <chap. 3.1.9>)
 List of peripheral faults (see <chap. 3.1.7>).
 For all other gateways:
 Flags in the digital data (see <chap. 3.1.3>)
Additionally with ASi-5 gateways:
 List of the ASi-5 configuration errors (see <chap. 3.1.10>)
 List of the ASi-5 peripheral faults (see <chap. 3.1.8>)
 Evaluate all ASi-5 flags (see < Tab. 3-8.> and <tab. 3-9>) in the con-
trol.

Diagnostics

When a configuration error is reported, e.g. because an ASi node has failed, the
ASi master continues to communicate with the remaining nodes. In many cases
however a good and simple solution is to terminate running of the PLC program in
case of a configuration error.
For further diagnostics, we recommend our PC software (see <chap. 6.1>).

6.2.1.2 Diagnosing the Safety Monitor

 Safety diagnostics in the Input Data Image

Diagnostics for the states of the safety ASi in- and outputs. To obtain diag-
nostics information for a safety ASi output the associated ASi diagnostics
node address must be incorporated (see < Paragraph A:>).
 Safety Status

 Monitor and I/O Data
Status of the safety monitor and of the local safety in- and outputs (see
<chap. 3.1.13>)
 Fieldbus bits

 Safety diagnostics of safe ASi inputs
Diagnostics in the IDI is a way of sending the key diagnostics functions to the
controller without a command interface (Mailbox) or any additional effort. The
diagnostics information is sent in the input data image, coded for the input bits of
the address of the safety input module.
The switching state of Channels 1 and 2 of the safety input is shown with negligi-
ble time lag in bits 0 and 1 and can be directly read:

Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Description

X X 0 0 Both channels open
X X 0 1 2nd channel open, 1st channel closed
X X 1 0 2nd channel closed, 1st channel open
X X 1 1 Both channel closed
Tab. 6-26.

Bits 2 and 3 are used to send the status of the safety input (the device color of the
ASIMON360):

Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Description

0 0 X X Device color: red, green or gray

 Safety diagnostics of safe ASi outputs

The diagnostic informations are transfered via the Input Data Image, coded to the
input bits of the diagnostic address (diagnostic node) of an ASi safety module.
The diagnostics information for the safety output is encoded to the input data of
the diagnostics node of the respective safety output.

Important!
The following points must be noted for processing:
• The color information of the device is only available if the safe input is also
used within the Safety Monitor.
• The information for switching state and error status are not processed time-
synchronous.
• When there is a configuration error all bits having value 0 are sent; this must
be noted when processing the data.
• When the Monitor is stopped the device color is "gray".
• When regularly switching, the status "yellow flashing" can be recognized as a
transition status. This depends on the component model set. This status can-
not be understood as a testing request until it is stably reported (see Monitor
Info and Safety Control/Status Byte). This is not the case until bit ’6’ is set in
the Monitor Info and Safety Control/Status Byte ("At least one module in Test
status"). This means the diagnostics information in the input data image does
not serve as a trigger for the testing request, but rather only as detailed infor-
mation after the Monitor Info and Safety Control/Status byte have indicated
that at least one component has reported a testing request.

Changing the base setting

Setting and changing the diagnostics type is done using the device display
([SAFETY] –> [ASI SAFETY] –> [SAFE SUBST VAL])

6.2.2 Diagnosing the safety unit using the command interface

All the diagnostics data can also be queried individually and acyclic using the
command interface commands. This method does however involve greater pro-
gramming effort.

6.3 Error indication directly on the device

6.3.1 LEDs
The LEDs located on the device allow you to quickly see the status of the main
function parameters, such as power, communication with the host controller, com-
munication on the ASi circuit and state of the safety in- and outputs.

6.3.2 LC-Display
In the display of the Gateways plain text messages are shown spontaneously for
any detected errors (e.g. missing nodes, earth fault, duplicate address…).

6.3.3 ASi Monitor

Bihl+Wiedemann ASi masters are equipped with an integrated measurement
technology as standard. This makes it possible to localize even sporadically oc-
curring configuration errors and sources of interference that affect ASi communi-
cation easily.

6.3.3.1 Description of flags and error bits

Configuration error
The actual configuration found on ASi does not match the projected configura-
tion, or the ASi master performs startup operations.

Node 0 detected
There is an ASi node with zero address.

No auto address assignment

Automatic address assignment would not be possible.

Auto address assignment available

As soon as an appropriate node is connected, its address will be automatically
assigned.

Configuration mode
The ASi master is in configuration mode.
No normal operation
ASi master is performing startup operations

ASi power fail

ASi power supply is insufficient

Off-line
ASi master doesn't send telegrams on ASi
Issue date: 02.11.2022

Peripheral fault
At least one ASi node reports a peripheral fault, or the ASi master performs start-
up operations.

24V AUX
External 24 V voltage is present.
Power-Fail 24V
External 24 V voltage is not present.

Earth fault
The earth fault monitor checks the symmetry of the ASi voltage. If the voltage is
no longer sufficiently symmetrical, the noise immunity of data transmission is
compromised.
Overvoltage
Normally UASi+ and UASi- are in symmetry with system ground. If this potential
rises significantly, the overvoltage detector reports this anomaly.

Noise voltage
Noise voltages on the ASi cable can cause telegram errors. The noise voltage de-
tector monitors the ASi circuit for AC voltages which have been generated by nei-
ther the ASi Master nor the nodes.

Duplicate address
The Master detects when two nodes having the same address are present in the
ASi circuit.
