Page 6 Section 1: Bundled Driver for InduSoft Web Studio 1-1 Introduction ICPDAS develops the bundled “DCON” driver to enable InduSoft Web Studio to communicate with some series of remote control modules, such as, I-7000 series, I-8XX1 I-8XX0 series, and I-87K series. Due to this driver was developed base on the DLL driver of ICPDAS, therefore, it provides two communication methods for his products:(1) the first one is RS232 to RS485 series communication by the I-7520 (RS-232 to RS485 converter), (2) the second one is the Ethernet communication scheme by the VxComm driver of ICPDAS (For more information, please refer to website http://www.icpdas.com/). By using these two schemes, allows InduSoft Web Studio to use the series communication method to connect to RS-485 and Ethernet remote control modules. The more detail application of modules and communication scheme are shown in the following figure and tables.

Users only need to know how to select the driver and add it to the application where it will be used. Following is the procedure step for how to add the driver DCON into an application: 1-3-1 Install DCON Driver into InduSoft Web Studio Step 1: Execute the InduSoft Web Studio and select the proper application, as below figure. Step 2: Click on the "Add/Remove drivers” menu item to pop up the available communication driver window, as shown in below figure. Page 11 Step 3: In the column Available Drivers list, select the DCON Driver and click the button “Select>>” to add DCON driver into the selected drivers list. (Note: If DCON driver is not found in “Available drivers” list, please refer to appendix A to setting DCON driver into InduSoft Web Studio.) Step 4: When driver DCON appear in the column Selected Drivers, then click “OK” bottom to add driver to InduSoft Web studio. Page 12 1-3-2 Other software requirements If users try to use the Ethernet communication solution for InduSoft Web Studio, the VxComm driver from ICPDAS need to be installed into the system where the application is developed for. Besides, users should also need to define the Ethernet Protocol and assign it to mapping to a Com port. And then users can use the Ethernet communication just like the series communication, which you have assigned it. Page 13 1-4 Driver Configuration After the driver is installed into Studio (see section 1.3), user should proceed to the driver configuration procedure to enable the correct communication protocol with remote control modules. The driver configuration is operated as two parts: (1) The first is the setting or Communication parameters of the driver, which is the driver protocol definition. (2) The second one is the setting of Driver Worksheets, which define the method for how to communicate with variable tags. The more detail procedure for configuration of these two parts will be described in following sub-section. 1-4-1 Driver configuration These parameters are valid for all driver worksheets configured in the system. To open the window for configuration of Communication parameters, Please follow these steps: Step 1: In the Workspace of the Studio environment selects the “Comm” table. Step 2: Expand the folder Driver and select the subfolder DCON. Step 3: Right click on the DCON subfolder and select the option Settings. Step 4: When selecting the Settings, there is a communication parameters window to be popped up for configuring the protocol. Please select the correct parameters to conform to the remote control modules. The station parameter is not used in DCON driver. The more detail parameter setting and description is presented in the below table. Page 14 Parameter Default Value Valid values Description Serial port of the PC used to COM COM2 COM1 to COM8 communication with the device. Baud Rate 9600 110 to 57600bps Communication rate of data. Number of data bits used in the Data Bits 8 5 to 8 protocol. ICPDAS Data Bits is 8. Number of stop bits used in the Stop Bits 1 1 or 2 protocol. ICPDAS Stop bits is 1. Even, odd, none, space or Parity of the protocol. ICPDAS Parity None mark parity is None. � Note: These Parameter must be the same as the remote control modules of ICPDAS products. Besides, DCON Driver does not use CRC. Therefore, users should disable checksum function of the modules. Step 5: By clicking on the button “Advanced…”in the window of Communication Parameters, the “advanced settings” window for additional communication parameter will be opened as follow. Users can further define the communication property of the driver in InduSoft Web Studio. Please define the parameters as the figure description. Page 15 � Note: The Advanced setting parameters are explained at the Studio Technical Reference Manual. And you should keep the default values to all field described at the next tables should be configured. 1-4-2 Driver Worksheet After the communication parameter settings in above description, then users need to add driver worksheet into Studio’s application to enable communication between the input/output values with variable tags of user application. Each of the worksheet composes of a Header and Body. In order to optimize communication and ensure better performance of the system, it is important to add the tags in different driver sheets according to the events that must be triggered in the communication of each group of tags and the periodicity for which each group of tags must be written or read. That means that tags are separated in the different worksheets based on AI, AO, DI, DO…, which is defined in Header, Besides, it is also recommended to configure the addresses of communication in sequential blocks in the worksheet. Followings are the procedure for how to create a new driver worksheet: Step 1: In the Workspace of the Studio environment, select the table Comm. Step 2: Expand the folder Drivers and select the subfolder DCON. Step 3: Right click on the DCON subfolder and select the option Insert. Page 16 Step 4: When a communication table has been created, following window will be presented. All entries of the Driver Worksheet (exception by the Station, Header and Address) are standards for all communication drivers of InduSoft Web Studio. Users should refer to Studio Communication Driver documentation to know how to configure these standard fields. Here, this manual will only describes how to define the Station, Header and Address fields of DCON driver. These fields usually have specific way for each communication driver. Step 5: Define Head, Tag Name, and Address of remote control modules. For how to correctly input parameter, please refer to the following description. Page 17 1-4-3 Station and Header configuration Parameter Default Value Valid value Description Station Not used Define the type of variable to be read or Header AI See next table written from or to the device. The Header field defines the type of variables that will be read or written from or to the device. It complies with the syntax: . After keying in the field Header, the system will check if it is valid or not. If the syntax was incorrect, the default value (AI) will be automatically placed in the field. Note that header define the property of worksheet. And it is recommended to add all of the same property of the tags into the worksheets. Information regarding the parameter “Header” Valid range of Type Sample of syntax Comment initial Address Read Digital DI Any Input/Output Read Digital Output DO Any Read Analog The ICP DAS device channel must AI Any input/output be configured to engineering units The ICP DAS device channel must Write Analog Output AO Any be configured to engineering units Read/Set Counter Counter Any Read/Set DI DICounter Any Counter value Write Command SendCmd Any Send command to the device � Note: Always create two different driver worksheets to read Input and Output. 1-4-4 Address Configuration In the body fields of the driver worksheet, it allows users to associate each tag to corresponding channel of device by independence address. In the column Tag Name, you must type the tag from your application database. This tag will get or send values from or to the corresponding device of the defined address. The address cells for remote control module of ICPDAS products will be complied with the following syntax (1) I-7000 and I-87k remote control modules: : : (2) I-8000 remote control modules: Page 18 : : : Where the parameter is described as follows: � Module’s Address: Module’s Address in the network (Range from 00 to FF) � Module ID: Module’s ID of the device. Please refer to ICPDAS product manual. � Slot Number: Module’s Slot hanging on the rack. � Channel Number: Channel’s Number to be read or written for the module. � � Note: For AI and DI, if the channel number is bigger than the number of the modules, you can read all the value of the module in a communication. The following table is the example for how to define the parameters. (1) I-7000 and I-87K series modules Sample of Addressing Configuration Address on the Device Header Field Address Field Read channel 0 of module 87053 of Address 1 (input) DI 01:87053:0 Write channel 1 of module 7064 of Address 6 (output) DO 06:7064:1 Read channel 0 of module 7017 of Address 4 (input) AI 04:7017:0 Write channel 1 of module7021 of Address A (output) AO 0A:7021:1 Read/Set channel 0 of module 7080 of Address 3 (counter Counter 03:7080:0 Read/Set channel 0 of module 7060 of Address 5 (DI counter) DICounter 05:7060:0 Write command to devices with tag value SendCmd Not used (2) I-8000 series modules Sample of Addressing Configuration Address on the Device Header Field Address Field Read from channel 0 of module 8053 in slot 1 of address 1 DI 01:8053:1:0 Write to channel 1 of module 8064 in slot 4 of address 6 DO 06:8064:4:1 Read from channel 5 of module 8017 in slot 6 of address 3 AI 03:8017:6:5 Write to channel 4 of module 8024 in slot 1 of address A AO 0A:8024:1:4 (3) The following table presents the current support modules of ICPDAS products by this Page 19 driver DCON.

Induso ft W e b Studio M odbusT C P Ethernet IC P D A S 7 K /8 K/8 7 K S e r ie s 4-1 Modbus Utility In this section, we will introduce how to use the Modbus utility software of ICPDAS product. If you did not have this development tool, please go to website http://www.icpdas.com to download. And then install this software into the system where your application will be used. After that, please follow the below steps to define the Modbus address of every remote control module. Step1: Before using the InduSoft Modbus/TCP communication protocol, you can use Modbus Utility to register modules or check which modules have been installed in the control network. After you start up the Modbus utility, the following initial window will be popped up. And then users need to input the Ethernet IP and click “Connect” bottom to connect to the module. After Modbus utility connected to module, the utility will present the online mode and show all of the modules Page 52 information with Modbus address in the low half window of Modbus utility window. Besides, User can also change the configuration of module of I-80xx by click the figure. Then, the range code of every channel of the module will be shown in below figure. When Modbus Utility have connected to remote control modules, it will automatically figure out how many modules on the network and assign the Modbus address for every channel of every module as shown as the above figures. Actually, the results will be presented in three sub-windows, which are (1) Digital modules mapping, (2) Analog Module Mapping, (3) Summary, as shown in below figures. In the digital Modules Mapping window, setting results will be also separate in Digital input and output modules. Also, in the analog modules mapping window, the setting results will be separate into analog input and output module. From the below figures, Users will find out the Modbus address for every channel of the module with same type will be grouped together and defined orderly in the Modbus address. Page 53 Besides, Modbus Station can be called as NetID of I-8000 controllers. If users want to set to different ModBus Station, users can find a dipswitch (at right Conner of controllers) to set the station number. And after changing the station number, user must reboot the I-8000 controller and use ModBus Utility to connect to the modules again. Furthermore, in Summary window of Modbus Utility, summary information and how many ModBus address have been used will be exposed in the sub-window. User can find the first address is 0. Step 2: After setting the ModBus address, user can click file/output to save the current results into a file. And this ModBus information file can be used in the later SCADA project application. Page 54 4-2 InduSoft Web Studio In the following sub-section, the procedure for how the InduSoft Web Studio connect to the I-8XX1 ModTCP and I-8xx0 ModTCP series modules of ICPDAS products will be demonstrated by steps.

Users should refer to Studio Communication Driver documentation about the configuration of the standard fields. Here, We will write down the document description and how to setting those parameters of the Station, Header and Address fields for ICPDAS ModBus communication Products. Page 58 Step 7: Setting up the configuration of Station and Header for remote control modules. Please refer to following information. The station parameter defines the station of Ethernet network that will be read or written from or to the device. It complies with the syntax: : : . The station No is referred to the NetID of I-8000 controllers. Parameter Default Valid value Description Value Station - - This field complies with the following syntax: : : - IP Address:I-8000 controller IP Address in the TCP/IP network - Port Number: Every Ethernet TCP/IP device has a Port number to communicate with other ones. ICPDAS port number is 502. - Station No.: It is NetID of I-8000 controllers from 0~255 Header 0X:0 Refer to next table Defines the type of variable to be read or written from or to the device and the reference of the initial address. The Header parameter defines the type of variables that will be read or written from or to the device. It complies with the syntax: : . After editing the field Header, the system will check if it is valid or not. If the syntax were incorrect, the default value (0X:0) will be automatically placed in this field. Users can type Tag between Page 59 curly brackets into this field, but be sure that the Tag’s value is correct, with the correct syntax, or you will get the Invalid Header error. The correct syntax for the field type and Tag value is described as bellow: Information regarding the parameter “Header” Type Sample of syntax Valid of initial Address Comment 0x 0x:0 Depend on the equipment Coil status: Read and write events using the Modbus instructions 01, 05 and 15 1x 1x:0 Depend on the equipment Input status: Read events using the Modbus instruction 02 3x 3x:0 Depend on the equipment Input register: Read events using the Modbus instruction 04 4x 4x:0 Depend on the equipment Holding Register: Read and write events using the Modbus instructions 03, 06 and 16 Step 8 : The body of the driver worksheet allows you to associate each tag to its respective address in the device. In the column Tag Name, you must type the tag from your application database. This tag will receive or send values from or to an address on the device. The address cells complies to the following syntax: . Step 9: After finishing the setting of driver, users need to setup ModBus TCP driver in the Runtime mode, which allow InduSoft Web Studio to start up the driver automatically. Please go to “Execution Tasks” tab of project status window. By click Project/Status menu option. The result window is as following figure. Please go to double click the driver runtime mode in automatic mode. Page 60 4-3 Analog input and Analog output value converter formula: Analog input Converter formula: � Analog input value = tag value / 32767 * Span � Span = analog input maximum value - 0 In this case, the Span is 10.0. Analog input value = 6554 / 32767 * 10.0 = 2.000 (V) Page 61 Analog Output Converter formula: � Tag value = analog output value / Span * 32767 � Span = analog out maximum value - 0 Analog value for InduSoft Web Studio = 5.0 / 10.0 * 32767 = 16383 (16#3FFF) Page 62 Page 63 Section 5: ISaGRAF (I-8xx7, I-7188XG, I-7188EG) for InduSoft Web Studio ICPDAS products supporting ISaGRAF (Soft PLC) solution are I-8xx7, I-7188XG, I-7188EG. In this section, we will demonstrate this solution how to cooperate with InduSoft Web Studio. Firstly, we will describe the ModBus Address setting in the ISaGRAF software. And then in the second part, the method for how InduSoft Web Studio communicating with ISaGRAF Soft PLC will be presented. However, we only show the communicating scheme between this software. If users need to know more information, please also go to see the technical reference manual of the software. The communication protocols supported by ISaGRAF and InduSoft Web studio are Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP, which will be described in the following sub-section. Indusoft Web Studio ModbusRTU ModbusTCP Ethernet/RS485 I-8X17/I-8X37/I-7188XG/I-7188EG 5-1 The definition of ISaGRAF Soft PLC In the following section, the procedure for how the definition of ModRTU address of ISaGRAF Soft PLC for the I-8X17 and I-7188XG, and the definition of Modbus TCP address Page 64 of ISaGRAF Soft PLC for I-8x37 and I-7188EG will be demonstrated by steps, respectively. Step 1:To start a new ISaGRAF project, click on the "Create New Project" icon and then enter the name of the new project. You can then enter additional information for your project by clicking on the "Edit" and then "Set Comment Text" menu as illustrated below. 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 You will now see the name of the new project in the "Project Management" window. Double click on the name of the new project to open the project. Page 65 1.5 Step 2:Before you start to develop an ISaGRAF program; you must first declare the variables that will be used in the ISaGRAF program. To begin this process, firstly click on the "Dictionary" icon and then click on the "Boolean" tab to declare the Boolean variables that will be used in our example program. 2.1 2.2 To declare the program variables of the ISaGRAF project, double click on the colored area below the "Boolean" tab, and a "Boolean Variable" window will be opened. Enter the name of the variable to be used in the project. For the purpose of this example program the variable "Boolean Variable Name" is "DI", the variable “Network Address “ is “0001”, and "From InduSoft Web Studio control value" is added to the "Comment Section". The next item that must be declared is what type of "Attribute" the variable will possess. In this Page 66 example program, DI’s attribute will be an "Internal". Then press the "Store" button to save the Boolean variable that has been created. 2.3 2.4 � Note: You MUST make sure that the variable declared has the desired Attribute assigned. If you decide that you want to change a project variable’s attribute, just double click on the variable name and you can reassign the attribute for the variable. Step 3:Using the same method described above, declare the additional Boolean variables for this example program, "DO1". When you have completed the Boolean variable assignments, the Global Boolean window should look like the example below. Page 67 Step 4: Referring to Step2, user can declare the additional Integer variables for this example program, "AI" and “AO”. When you have completed the Integer/Real variable assignments, the Global Integer/Real window should look like the example below. Step 5:Once all of the variables have been properly declared, you are now ready to create the example LD program. To start this process, click on the "Create New Program" icon and the "New Program" window will appear. Enter the "Name" as "LD1" (the name of our example program). Next, click on the "Language" scroll button and select "SFC: Sequential Function Chart", and make sure the "Style" is set to "Sequential: Main Program". You can add any desired text to the "Comment" section for the LD program, but it is only for reference and not for program. Page 68 5.1 5.2 When the "LD1" program has now been created, users can double click on the "LD1" name to open the "LD1" program. 5.3 Step 6:When you double click on the "LD1" name, the "SFC Program" window will be appeared. Then, users can follow the SFC programming skill of ISaGRAF to develop a SFC program, which users can refer to the manual of ISaGRAF solution of ICPDAS products. However, the following description is only a demo program for this example, which will be presented in the ISaGRAF workbench when users install the demo programs of development tool kit for ISaGRAF from ICPDAS product CD-ROM. Page 69 Step 7:The ISaGRAF Workbench software program is an open programming system. This allows the user to create an ISaGRAF program that can operate a large number of different PLC controller systems. It is the responsibility of the PLC hardware manufacturer to embed the ISaGRAF "driver" in their respective controller for the ISaGRAF program to operate properly. The ICP DAS provides ISaGRAF embedded driver for main unit I-8xx7, I-7188EG and 7188XG and corresponding interface card for user to creating a powerful and flexible industrial controller system. When you have created the ISaGRAF example program, now you must connect the I/O to the I-8xx7 I/O controller system. A useful feature of the I-8xx7 controller system is to use the SMMI interface when user only get the I-8xx7 controller system without having any I/O boards plugged into the system. The four pushbuttons on the I-8xx7 controller system can be used as four digital inputs, and the three left LED’s above the control panel pushbuttons can be used as outputs. In the following procedure, we will show the method how to add a hardware linkage into the system. The first, click on the "I/O Connection" icon as shown in the top picture Page 70 and the "I/O Connection" window will appear as shown in the next illustration. For the purpose of this example, you can either double click on the "0" slot, or just click on the "0" slot, then click on "Edit" and then "Set Board/Equipment" and then the "I/O Connection" window will appear. Corresponding to hardware plugged into the system users can select the correct board from the list window and then click OK to add the connecting interface into the controller. 7.1 7.2 7.3 � Note: I/O Slots 0 through 7 are reserved for REAL I/O boards that will be used in the I-8xx7 controller. You can use slots 8 and above for additional functionality, for example, SMMI interface. Repeat the step 7.1 to Step 7.3 to add interface setting into the system to confirm the hardware setting. The result is shown in below. Page 71 7.4 Here, we will demo the procedure for how analog output variable connect to the hardware interface. The first, click on I_8024 and then double clink on the “channel 1” to open an I/O connecting window. From the connecting window, we can connect the AO variable to the connection and click “close” bottom confirm the setting. And the connecting result will be shown as below. 7.5 7.6 7.7 7.8 7.8 Page 72 Follow the same procedure; users can connect all of the I/O variables of digital and analog to the corresponding to hardware module and channel. Finally, users need to click on the "SAVE" icon to save the I/O connections that have been created for the example program. And then click on the “X” to exit the window. Step 8:Before beginning the compilation process, users need to check on the "MAKE" option from the main menu bar, and then click on "Compiler Options" as shown below. Next, the "Compiler Options" window will be presented. Make sure to select the options as shown below. And then press the "OK" button to complete the compiler option selections. After you have selected the proper compiler options. Click on the "Make Application Code" icon to compile the example LD project. If there are no compiler errors detected during the compilation process, CONGRATULATIONS, you have successfully created our example LD program. Page 73 Step 9:The last step requires executing the example LD program on the I-8xx7 controller system. That is, the compiled project needs to be downloaded to the I-8xx7 controller system (frequently referred to as the "Target" platform"). Before starting the download process, users must establish communications between PC development platform and the I-8xx7 controller system. The I-8xx7 have two different products, and each communication parameter setting are showed as following: (a) The I-8X17 and I-7188XG parameter setting for using Modbus RTU protocol: To begin this process, click on the "Link Setup" icon in the "ISaGRAF Programs" window. When you click on the "Link Setup" icon, the following window will be shown. 9a.1 9a.2 9a.3 9a.4 The "Target Slave Number" is the Node-ID address for the I-8xx7 controller system as defined by the dipswitch settings, which is outlined in I-8000 User’s Manual Chapter 1, Section 1.3.1. The Node-ID dipswitch is located in the bottom right corner portion of the I-8xx7 controller. If your I-8X17 controller is the first one, the Node-ID address should be set to "1". The "Communication Port" is the serial port connecting on your PC development platform, and this is normally either COM1 or COM2. The communication parameters of the target I-8X17 controller MUST be set to the same serial communication parameters for the PC development platform. For I-8417 and I-8817 controllers (serial Page 74 port communications), the default parameters for COM1 (RS232) and COM2 (RS485) ports are as following: Baud rate 19200 Parity None Format 8 bits, 1 stop Flow control None (b)The I-8X37 and I-7188EG parameter setting for using Modbus TCP protocol: To begin this process, click on the "Link Setup" icon in the "ISaGRAF Programs" window. When you click on the "Link Setup" icon, the following window will be shown. 9b.1 The "Target Slave Number" is the Node-ID address for the I-8X37 controller system as defined by the dipswitch settings, which is outlined in I-8000 User’s Manual Chapter 1, Section 1.3.1. The Node-ID dipswitch is located in the bottom right corner portion of the I-8xx7 controller. If your I-8X37 controller is the first one, the Node-ID address should be set to "1". And set the "Communication Port" as “ETHERENET”. 9b.2 9b.3 Page 75 Set the "Port Number" to "502" and Internet address (IP) of the I-8x37 controller in “Internet address”. 9b.4 Before you can download the project to the I-8xx7 controller system, you must first verify that your development PC and the I-8xx7 controller system are communicating with each other.
