Start Bit: The first bit transmitted in the asynchronous transmission of a character to synchronise the receiver

Stop Bit: The last bit in the asynchronous transmission of a character to return to the at-rest condition

Tri-state: A binary output signal is either a 0 or 1. There is a third requirement that it becomes disconnected
from a line, in order to allow another device sharing the line to become connected. This gives a total of 3
states, the disconnected mode being the tri-state. Tri-state is achieved by designing the output stage of an
electronic binary device with the ability to turn completely off and present a high impedance to the line.

2 Introduction
The PL/X is provided with an RS232 serial port as standard. The port may be used in a number of different
modes which are selected using the RS232 PORT 1 / 188)PORT1 FUNCTION.

The modes available are as follows.

1) PARAMETER EXCHANGE (SEE MAIN MANUAL)

Computer to PL/X in ASCII For transferring configurations
PL/X to PL/X in ASCII For transferring configurations
Menu list from PL/X to printer or computer To list configurations.

2) REFERENCE EXCHANGE (SEE MAIN MANUAL)

For high-speed exchange of parameters between 2 or more units in digital format during running

3) ASCII COMMS
For controlling one or more units from a host computer using a serial link.
For configuring one or more units using PL PILOT, a PC based configuration tool.

This manual is devoted to the 3rd mode of operation using ASCII COMMS.

2.1 How to use a USB port

The PL/X uses an RS232 port to transmit serial data. Some computers may not be fitted with an RS232
COM port. Instead they will probably possess a USB port. In this case it is necessary to fit a USB - RS232
convertor to the computer (E.g. Belkin F5U120uPC). These are supplied with the required driver utilities.
After installation of the convertor, right click on the ‘My Computer’ icon and select Properties / Device
Manager / Ports, to find the port allocations. (COM1, COM2, COM3 etc.). Then you must use the nominated
USB port allocation when setting up comms utilities. Eg. HyperTerminal or PL PILOT (Options in top task bar).
Note. When using USB to RS232 converters always boot up the PC with the converter plugged into the PC
so that it gets properly initialised.

2.2 SCADA package with built in multi-drop protocol drivers

A SCADA package called SPECVIEW is available that allows Instrument views, System graphics, Trend
charts, Data logging, System recipe downloading, Historical screen replay and many other features.

This package runs on a standard PC and can support any number of units up to 100 on a single link. By using
this SCADA package, all the effort required to translate and implement the ASCII COMMs protocol is already
built in to the package. This gives access to all parameters and connections on all the connected instruments
as soon as the link is hooked up. See 4 PL PILOT and SCADA (System Control And Data Acquisition)
package.

2.3 PL PILOT with multi-drop capability

There is also a configuration tool called PL PILOT available that runs on a standard PC. This may be used to
set any parameter value, make any legal internal connection, and monitor all the available parameters.

PL PILOT provides the user with block diagrams where each parameter may be quickly accessed and altered.
The system allows recipes of drive configurations to be stored and/or down loaded as desired.

PL PILOT is also able to support up to 10 drives on one link. It can access all parameters, connections and
diagnostics for each drive. It is able to display these from any drive or combinations of drives and send
recipes to any drive on the link.

This powerful tool is available free of charge. Simply download it from www.sprint-electric.com.
The operating instructions for PL PILOT are contained within the tool itself. Click on the Help BUTTON.

When using a multi-drop system, the RS232 port on the PL/X must be buffered by an RS422 or RS485
convertor unit external to the PL/X. There are many types of convertor available. The convertor should not be
allowed to send data onto the serial link unless it has been requested to do so and should remain tri-stated
until it is required to talk.

Some convertors are designed to automatically control their own tri-state mode. However other types require
an external control signal to be provided. This signal is referred to as the RTS (Ready to send) signal.

This window is used to change the mode of operation of the digital output DOP3 on terminal 24.

If RS232 PORT 1 / 188)PORT1 FUNCTION has been placed in ASCII COMMS mode, and
196)P1 DOP3 RTS MODE has been ENABLED, then DOP3 functions as an RTS output.

details of the RTS logic levels

Note. Only the terminal is redeployed.
The DOP3 function will continue to
operate internally and may be used
within a system if required.

When the PL/X has been requested to transmit by the host and is ready to do so, the RTS signal will go low.
It will remain low until the host sends EOT (End of transmission) to the PL/X. Hence in order to use this
system, a 4 wire RS422/485 link must be implemented to enable the host to talk to the PL/X while the
convertor is still active. (1 complementary pair is used for sending, a separate complementary pair for
receiving).

Note. To ensure that the PL/X powers up with the RTS signal high, it is necessary to perform a PARAMETER
SAVE of the 196)P1 DOP3 RTS MODE / ENABLED.

Note. If 196)P1 DOP3 RTS MODE is set to DISABLED at any time then DOP3 immediately functions as
normal.

3.1.2 Electrical connections. This example is for 4 PL/Xs on one link.

This is a description of the connections required to implement a 4 wire full duplex system using B&B
Electronics RS232 to 485 convertors. (These convertors have an automatic tri-state capability).

3.1.2.1 Item 1. 5 convertors. (1 for computer and 1 per drive) B&B Model 485O19TB0798
The 4 drive convertors must be modified to accept a 24V power supply from the PL/X serial port. This is very
simple. Remove the plastic cover from the convertor. Solder a 2K2 resistor with 0.6 in lead diameter
between pin 8 of the D type connector and the via on the back of the printed circuit board as shown. Take
care to avoid shorts etc. This drops the PL/X 24V down to 5V within the convertor. Replace the plastic
cover.

Connect 2k2 resistor from pin 8 on the D socket to this

via. (Zoom this picture in WORD to 500% for a good look).

3.2 PORT 1 COMMS LINK / General description

Supervision and monitoring of Sprint Electric PL/X Series drives has been made possible by the provision of a
supervisory communications interface. This option provides a serial data port that can be set up on each
drive. When using RS422 or RS485 links they can be bussed together to allow an intelligent device to
monitor or update the parameters of a network of drives.

Using this link a supervisory control system can be implemented where each drive is in continuous local
control and the central computer has only to perform periodic reference updating, control sequencing and
data collection.

The main advantages of this type of control system are: -

1) Multi-wire analogue transmission from a central programmable controller is replaced by a bussed

digital system using serial data transmission over twisted pairs.

2) Digital transmission is fundamentally less noise-prone than analogue methods, and the accuracy of
the transmitted data is unaffected by the transmission medium. The use of intelligent devices at either end of
the data link allows error checking to be used. This virtually eliminates the effects of electrical noise on data
integrity. It is therefore possible to issue references to drives with much higher accuracy using this method.

3) The communication standard used allows up to 128 devices to be addressed from a single link, which
can be driven from a computer serial port. Additional drives can be readily accommodated through additional
computer ports. Most computers are equipped with RS232 serial ports, which can be easily converted to
accommodate the RS422 or RS485 standard by using a proprietary bus convertor.

The specific form of communication implemented corresponds with the following full American National
Standard definition: -

ANSI Standard: x3.28 Revision: 1976 Establishment and Termination Control Procedures Sub-category 2.5:
Two-way Alternate, Non-switched Multipoint with Centralised Operation and Fast Select.

3.4 Description of ASCII

1) (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)

ASCII is a binary code which represents letters, digits, and control signals (collectively called characters). The
code originated by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has become a worldwide standard for
information interchange. The code uses a seven bit binary word to represent all the letters, digits,
punctuation marks and control signals, and a complete list of code mnemonics for the PL/X parameter set is
given at the end of the manual. See 11 Mnemonic table.

ASCII codes ASCII hex

STX Start of Text 02
ETX End of Text 03
EOX End of Transmission 04
ENQ Enquiry 05
ACK Positive acknowledge 06
NAK Negative acknowledge 15

4 34
5 35
6 36
7 37
8 38
9 39

3.5 Control characters

Control Characters are ASCII binary codes, which define actions rather than information. Six ASCII codes are
used: -

ASCII-HEX

02 (STX) This is the start of text character.

03 (ETX) This is the end of text character. It is followed by another character containing the checksum.
04 (EOT) Indicates the end of transmission. It therefore clears the line and is sent by the host at the
start of a new message.
05 (ENQ) This is the enquiry character. It is sent by the host as the last character of any type of polling
message.
06 (ACK) This is the positive acknowledgment character.
15 (NAK) This is the negative acknowledgment character.

PL/X Address

The PL/X has an address, the first digit being the group number (GID) in the range 0 to 7, the second a unit
number (UID) in the range 0 to F. There are therefore 128 different addresses from 00 to 7F.
14 SERIAL LINKS

3.6 Data types

Data can be considered to consist of two types: -

1) Numerical Data: - Where the parameter refers to number which is a level, reference, gain or result with the
PL/X being either positive or negative.

2) Boolean Data: - Where a Boolean (logic) parameter such as a switch can be monitored enabled, or
disabled from the serial link.

3) Status Information: - Where the parameter refers to a binary word each bit within the word being a
significant switch within the program structure.

Examples of status information are for 182)STORED TRIP MONITOR: (DZ ASCII mnemonic)

Bit 2 represents the over volts alarm bit 8 stall trip alarm bit 14 short cct IO

3.7 Data Format

The PL/X uses an ASCII, free format, mode of operation for data transfer to make it easy to implement with
languages such as BASIC, PASCAL, FORTRAN and assembler languages. This makes it possible to
implement a simple supervisory system using a personal computer.

Numerical Data is transferred by transmission of a string of characters, the length of the string required to
transmit the data value is determined by the value itself, no leading zeros are added to pad out the string
length, and trailing zeros may be omitted.

I.e. 1 can be sent as 1.00, 1.0, 1. or 1

-3.4 can be sent as -3.40
12.34 is sent as 12.34

3.8 Character Format

The bit format is represented by the following-

Start Stop
LO DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA Unused Parity bit HI
Bit bit bit bit bit bit bit bit bit

3.9 Status Information

(Format 23 - Hexadecimal) Status Information is transmitted by first encoding the data into a hexadecimal
format. The number of characters in the encoded data then determines the length of a string. The
hexadecimal data is preceded by a > sign to differentiate from numerical data.

3.10 Data Transfer Sequence

The data transfer sequence in the ASCII mode offers the following facilities

1) Asking questions (known as polling)

a. Single parameter poll
b. Continuous polling of one parameter
c. Sequential polling down the parameter list table (fast polling)
2) Setting parameters (known as selection)
a. Single parameter update
b. Continuous updating of one or more individual parameters

3.11 Sequence to send information to the PL/X from the computer

Connection is established with a particular PL/X by sending

(EOT) (GID) (GID) (UID) (UID) followed immediately by the data transfer

(STX) (C1) (C2) (D1) (D2) (D3)..... (DN) (ETX) (BCC) (Note that the data transfer message is
identical to that transmitted by a PL/X when giving a valid reply), The symbols of this message are defined as
follows: -

(STX) start of text character

After transmission of the whole message,

(C1)(C2) parameter specified by ASCII mnemonic

(D1 to DN) parameter value

(ETX) end of text character

(BCC) Block Check Character (verification check digit which is again the exclusive OR of (CI) to (ETX)
inclusive and must be calculated by the computer before transmission).

3.11.1 Responses by PL/X

The PL/X responds to it by sending (ACK), (NAK) or by giving no reply.
1) Positive acknowledgment (ACK)
When the PL/X has received the message, it performs the following tasks: -

Checks for any parity errors in the message. If none then it...

Verifies that the (BCC) character corresponds to the data pattern received. If no error then it...

Verifies that the (C 1), (C2) command characters are a valid mnemonic that may be written to. If so then it...

Verifies that the data (D1 to DN) is valid and not out-of-range. If so then it...

Updates the selected parameter with the new value contained in the message.

Only when all these tasks have been successfully completed does the PL/X send the (ACK) response to the
computer.
This signifies that the message was correctly received and implemented. Note. Data out-of-range returns
NAK and is discarded.
16 SERIAL LINKS

2) Negative acknowledgment (NAK)

If the message fails any of the above checks, the PL/X sends the (NAK) response to the computer. This
signifies that the message received by the PL/X contained an error and accordingly it has not updated the
selected parameter. One possible reason is the incorrect calculation of (BCC). At this point, the selected
command may be repeated by sending the data transfer string without re-establishing connection, until the
computer receives the (ACK) response.

3) No Reply

Under certain circumstances, the computer may not receive a response from the PL/X. This could be due to
any of the following reasons: -

Hardware failure.

Group Unit address identifiers not recognised.

Communications loop failure perhaps due to noise or wrong baud rate selected.

An error (e.g. parity) is found in one or more of the characters up to and including (BCC).

In these cases the computer should be programmed to time-out, i.e. wait for a response for a short time (150
msec minimum) before trying again.

3.11.2 Termination of selection of a PL/X

The termination procedure is used if the computer wishes to stop selecting a particular PL/X and establish
connection with another. This is achieved by sending the establish connection sequence. The computer then
transmits an (EOT) character to reset all PL/Xs on the data link to be responsive to the next GID UID address
parameter.

3.12 Sequence to read information from the PL/X by computer

3.12.1 Enquiry from host (symbol definition)

The computer always has master status, with the PL/X always in slave status. The computer begins by
transmitting a message, called the establish connection message, which is represented by the following
format: -

(EOT) (GID) (GID) (UID) (UID) (CI) (C2) (ENQ)

These symbols are defined as follows: -

(EOT) This control character resets all PL/Xs on the link and causes them to examine the next four
transmitted characters to see if they correspond with their group/unit address identifiers.

(GID) These characters represent the required group address identifier, and are repeated for security.
See 3.1.1.1 PORT1 COMMS LINK / Port 1 group number identity PIN 193

(UID) These characters represent the required unit address identifier, repeated for security. (Together these
units define the address of a particular PL/X). If, for example, GID = 1 and UID = 6, then the PL/X to be
addressed is number 16. See 3.1.1.2 PORT1 COMMS LINK / Port 1 unit number identity PIN 194

(C1)(C2) These characters specify the parameter by ASCII mnemonic. See 11 Mnemonic table.

(ENQ) This character indicates the end of the message, and that it is an enquiry.
SERIAL LINKS 17

The transmission of this message initiates a response procedure from the PL/X.

3.12.2 Valid response of the PL/X to this message

After the message has been sent, the computer expects to receive a reply from the PL/X. Providing the PL/X
has successfully received the message in full, it responds in the following form: -

(STX) (C1) (C2) (D1) (D2) (D3) .... (DN) (ETX) (BCC)
Which constitutes a message defined as thus: -

(STX) start of text.

(C1)(C2) parameter specified by mnemonic

(D1 to DN) value of the requested parameter (string may be of any length as determined by the data).

The PL/X responds with the shortest message, which represents the data value. If the data value is an
integer (part after decimal point is 0), then it does not send a decimal point. Trailing zeros after the decimal
point are not sent.

(ETX) end of text

(BCC) verification digit, which is the character, generated by taking the exclusive OR of the ASCII values of
all the characters transmitted after and excluding (STX) up to and including (ETX).

E.g. in a message with (D1 - DN) is 5 characters

(BCC) = (C1) EOR (C2) EOR (D1) EOR (D2) EOR (D3) EOR (D4) EOR (D5) EOR (ETX)

Where EOR = Exclusive OR

The computer must check this (BCC) before accepting this reply as valid. Also the software must be able to
extract the check number from the data string taking into account the protocol of the data transmission.

NOTE: If the PL/X receives the message but does not recognise the mnemonic it will respond with (EOT).
The (EOT) tells the computer to continue.

3.12.3 Further enquiry and termination

The computer then has three options: -

1) Repeat Parameter Facility (NAK)

If the computer transmits a (NAK) after the valid reply, it causes the PL/X to repeat the parameter that was
just received. This allows continuous monitoring of the same parameter without having to re-establish the
connection.

2) Scroll Mode Facility (ACK)

If the computer transmits an (ACK) after a valid reply, it causes the PL/X to fetch the next parameter from
the parameter list. This facility enables the computer to continuously sequence through all the parameters of
the PL/X.

3) Terminate Communication (EOT)

18 SERIAL LINKS

The termination procedure is entered when the selection of a particular PL/X is no longer required or when a
PL/X does not respond to a message or replies with an (EOT) character. The computer transmits an (EOT)
character to enable all the PL/Xs on the data link to be responsive to the next GID-UID address parameter.

3.12.4 No response to host computer

Under certain circumstances the computer may not receive a response from the PL/X. This could be due to
any of the following reasons-. -

1) Group/Unit address identifiers not recognised.

2) Communications loop failure perhaps due to noise or wrong baud rate being selected.
3) Hardware failure.
4) ASCII COMMS has not been selected using 188)PORT1 FUNCTION

In the first 3 cases the computer should be programmed to time-out, i.e. wait for a response for a short time
(150 msec minimum) before trying again.

3.12.5 Baud rate

This can be any of seven values: -
300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 baud

4 PL PILOT and SCADA (System Control And Data Acquisition) package

There is a proprietary PC based SCADA (System Control And Data Acquisition) package available which is
fully configured to communicate with the PL/X range. This package provides many features, including.

PL/X Configuration Data logging Alarm logging Recipe management

Multi-drop capability Bar charts Drawing package Full parameter monitoring
Chart recording Multi-instument views Multiple comm ports Bit map graphics import

The SCADA package is designed by SPECVIEW, and may be downloaded from http://www.specview.com/
free of charge from the internet for a demonstration. (There is also a demonstration dongle available that
allows 2 hours per view).

SPECVIEW is the platform for the PL PILOT configuration tool.

Further details about this package are accessible from the entry page of the PL PILOT configuration tool.

PL PILOT runs on a standard PC (Windows 95 upwards). It can set any parameter value, make any legal
internal connection, and monitor all the available parameters. It provides the user with block diagrams where
each parameter may be quickly accessed and altered. The system allows recipes of drive configurations to be
stored and/or down loaded as desired. It may also be operated off-line to develop and save recipes.

PL PILOT is also able to support up to 10 drives on one link. It can access all parameters, connections and
diagnostics for each drive. It is able to display these from any drive or combinations of drives and send
recipes to any drive on the link.

This powerful tool is available free of charge and is supplied on a CD with the PL/X.
Alternatively it may be downloaded from www.sprint-electric.com.
The operating instructions for PL PILOT are contained within the tool itself. Click on the Help BUTTON.

To install from the CD follow the self launching instructions when the CD is inserted into the PC.
From the net version you must first unzip it into a temporary directory. Then double click on Setup.exe.

For users that are installing for the first time select. ‘Typical ‘ in the ‘Setup type’ dialog box.
For users that are installing the latest version on systems with an existing version select ‘Repair’.
If you have existing recipes in the previous version these will automatically be retained in the latest version.
SERIAL LINKS 19

If you have to change any com port settings on the computer, or save changed serial link parameters on the
PL/X, then you may need to turn the PL/X off and on again to clear the comms buffers of false data before
the system will start communicating.

Click on the Help BUTTON in the top right hand corner of the PL PILOT entry menu for further information.

There is a suitable cable supplied to connect the PC COM 1 serial port to PL/X RS232 PORT1. (LA102595)
187)PORT1 BAUD RATE. Set to 19200 on the target PL/X, and in ‘Options’ / ‘Setup COM Port’ in PL PILOT.
188)PORT1 FUNCTION. Set to ASCII COMMS on the target PL/X.

Warning. PL PILOT may add up to 10mS to PL/X cycle times, which may affect the response of applications
that require fast sampling. Eg SPINDLE ORIENTATE. To overcome this effect, reduce the baud rate.

5 FIELDBUS introduction
This section describes the FIELDBUS CONFIG menu. It is used to select parameters for transmitting to, or
receiving from, the host controller using for example PROFIBUS protocol. Other protocols may also be used,
depending on which comms option card is fitted to the PL/X.

Each parameter selected for transmission from the PL/X is configured on the PL/X itself using a GET FROM.
Each parameter selected for receiving by the PL/X is configured on the PL/X itself using a GOTO.
There are many advantages to providing FIELDBUS configuration on the PL/X itself, rather than relying on the
host system to control the configuration.

1) Any PL/X parameter is available for selection as a source by each one of 8 GET FROMs (1 word each), +
one group of 8 way bit packed logic value GET FROMs (1 word).
Any legal PL/X parameter is available for selection as a target by each one of 8 GOTOs (1 word each), +
one group of 8 way bit packed logic value GOTOs (1 word).

2) The PL/X GOTO conflict checker automatically checks to see if the GOTO connections are accidently
configured by the user to another PL/X GOTO.

3) Reconfiguring the FIELDBUS for any PL/X, without stopping the master or other PL/X units, is possible.

4) The FIELDBUS configuration for each PL/X is held within the unit itself and is also retained in the
parameter exchange file. 3 FIELDBUS configurations can be saved in each PL/X by using the 3 recipe pages.

NOTE. The function of this sub-menu is the FIELDBUS CONFIG 3

process of establishing connections between PL/X JUMPER (2 - 8) 4
PINs and the PL/X FIELDBUS port. Hence it is
located in the CONFIGURATION menu.
The advantage of this is that it is located close to FIELDBUS CONFIG 3
the CONFLICT HELP MENU. BIT-PACKED GET FROM

The FIELDBUS CONFIG menu uses JUMPERS 1 - 8

with GET FROMs to connect the source PINs to
the PL/X FIELDBUS transmitter, and JUMPERS 9 - FIELDBUS CONFIG 3
16 with GOTOs to connect the target PINs to the JUMPER (9 - 16) 4
PL/X FIELDBUS receiver.

The BIT-PACKED GET FROM sub-menu contains 8 further JUMPERS to build a byte of logic sources.
The BIT-PACKED GOTO sub-menu contains 8 further JUMPERS to build a byte of logic targets.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Please do not confuse:

a) FIELDBUS CONFIG jumpers used for selecting source and target PINs for FIELDBUS communications.
with
b) PL/X configuration JUMPERS found in the JUMPER CONNECTIONS menu used for making internal
connections between PINs. (See section 13.10 of the main product manual).
FIELDBUS CONFIG JUMPERS and JUMPER CONNECTIONS are totally unrelated and independently usable
tools. It was very convenient for the PL/X designers to use the JUMPER nomenclature for each task.

5.1.7 Summary of GOTO and GET FROM windows

These windows make configuration connections really fast and simple. You do not have to work with lists of
numbers and undecipherable codes in order to make connections.

The UP/DOWN keys have an accelerating action for rapid arrival at the desired target.

The block PINs are arranged in adjacent groups. You only need to know one PIN in the target block to easily
find all the others. Alternatively, just scroll through any GETFROM window, from one end to the other, to see
all the PINs with their descriptions, or use the PIN table at the back of each manual.

The description of the target connection is usually unambiguous. E.g. there are many PROPORTIONAL GAINS
within the drive that can be accessed, but all are preceded with an indication of their block location. This can
usually be read even if you are scrolling at high speed.

The GOTO window automatically skips over illegal connections, e.g. other outputs. If more than one GOTO
connection is accidently made to any PIN, then the conflict checker will warn, and assist, in finding the PIN.

Remember, when a GOTO connection is made, the target parameter can not be adjusted using the keys. Its
value is determined by the source of the GOTO connection. It becomes a value monitor for the GOTO.

5.1.8 FIELDBUS CONFIG JUMPER connections

FIELDBUS jumpers are used to configure connections from the FIELDBUS port to PINs within the PL/X.

A FIELDBUS GOTO jumper receives data from the host via the FIELDBUS port and connects it to the selected
target PIN in the PL/X.
A FIELDBUS GETFROM jumper reads the PL/X source PIN value, and connects it to the FIELDBUS port for
transmission to the host.

FIELDBUS jumper connections can connect to any legal PINs including outputs, inputs, terminals and PINs
within blocks. FIELDBUS GOTOs will automatically avoid outputs.

In the case of accidental connection to a PIN with another GOTO already connected (any type of GOTO
including FIELDBUS), the GOTO CONFLICT CHECKER will issue a warning. See 5.3 CONFIGURATION /
CONFLICT HELP MENU.

The GET FROM can also connect onto PINs that have already been connected using a GOTO or GET FROM.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Please do not confuse:

a) FIELDBUS CONFIG jumpers used for selecting source and target PINs for FIELDBUS communications.
with
b) PL/X configuration JUMPERS found in the JUMPER CONNECTIONS menu used for making internal
connections between PINs. (See section 13.10 of the main product manual).
FIELDBUS CONFIG JUMPERS and JUMPER CONNECTIONS are totally unrelated and independently usable
tools. It was very convenient for the PL/X designers to use the JUMPER nomenclature for each task.

5.1.9 Block Disconnect PIN 400

When you enter the GOTO or GET FROM windows the starting point is approximately midway at
PIN 400)Block Disconnect. This enables rapid access to either end of the range. APPLICATION blocks are
located above 400, and DRIVE control loop blocks below.

5.1.10 Hidden parameters

There are a small number of parameters that are available for connection, but not provided with an
adjustment display window in the menu tree. For example unfiltered or rectified versions of displayed
parameters. They are all grouped together in the PIN table from 720 downwards. They are also shown on the
relevant block diagrams with a grey IO arrow instead of a black arrow. The PIN number and description of
these hidden parameters appears as normal when using the GOTO or GET FROM windows.

When the window is set to DISABLED the automatic conflict checker starts checking to see if more than one
GOTO connection has been made to any PIN (More than one GOTO would lead to a unwanted values at the
target PIN). If it finds a conflict, the alarm message GOTO CONFLICT will appear on the bottom line.

11 Mnemonic table

Every parameter PIN in the PL/X has an ASCII mnemonic

The ASCII mnemonic (Mn) is made up of 2 HEX characters

There are 2 ways the comms link uses this association.

Sending data. The host transmits the ASCII mnemonic followed by the data. The data is
(Ro indicates Read only). placed in the associated PIN.

Making an enquiry or polling. The host makes an enquiry by sending an ASCII mnemonic. The PL/X
responds by sending the data held in the associated PIN.
