Communications InterfacesCommunications InterfacesCommunications InterfacesCommunications Interfaces The CPR-041 Cell Processor Module has excellent communications capabilities. It supports four serial communications ports, each utilizing an industry standard 9-way D-type connector, plus a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port utilizing a standard RJ-45 connector.

The four serial ports support the RS-232 standard and port numbers two and four are software selectable between the RS-232, RS422 and RS-485 standards. NOTE: The A & B markings on RS485 & RS422 may differ on other devices and you may need to experiment with the polarity (i.e. reverse the wires) to get the link to operate.

Serial ports 1 and 2 can support bit rates of up to 38,400 baud and serial ports 3 and 4 can support bit rates up to 115,200 bits per second.

Each port supports the standard modem signals, Transmit Data (TxD), Receive Data (RxD), Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send (CTS). Data Carrier Detected (DCD) is also supported on Ports 3 and 4. Rx and TX LEDs are provided for each serial port and located below the port as shown in the diagram below.

All 4 serial ports can be used for protocol communications; however, port 1 is usually reserved for diagnostics and configuration. The default usage of each port is as follows:

Connector 1 Monitor / Flash Download / Workbench Configuration / Protocol 1

Connector 2 Protocol 2



The diagram below shows the port designations on the CPR-041 front panel. The connections are summarized in the tables to the right.

All 4 ports have an approximate +/-10V supply available for powering external communications devices such as line drivers or line isolators. All ports combined can provide a total of 100mA at +10.5V DC and a total of 40mA at -10V DC with over-current protection.

NOTE: As a +/- 10V DC supply is provided on each of the serial ports, particular care must be taken when making external connections to these pins.

LEDs are provided for the Ethernet interface with the following functionality:

Power On Sequence CheckPower On Sequence CheckPower On Sequence CheckPower On Sequence Check Once the CPR-041 Processor Module has been inserted into the rack it may be switch on using the ON/OFF switch on the module front panel. When the processor module has been turned on it will quickly go through it’s Power On Self Test (POST) sequence.

The Power On Self-Test sequence comprises three main segments, all of which MUST be successfully executed if the processor is to operate correctly.

1. A sequence of three character indications and three digit numbers are displayed on the processor 3-Character display starting with the characters “CPU” and finishing with the number 300. The following list is indicative of what is displayed. Other numbers may be seen on the display very briefly during the power up sequence but the following are the main points to be observed:

• CPU

• BUG

• LD

• 100

• FFS

• 105

• 200

• 300

2. The 128 LED Matrix cycles through all of the LED’s, ON and OFF.

3. Lastly a short sequence of 3 digit numbers are displayed finishing with the number 350 and reverting to the cell network number after a few seconds (the default cell network address is 001).

Please note it is VERY important that the cell processor displays the number 350 before displaying the unit number. If the number 350 is NOT displayed after the cycling of the LED matrix the cell has not started correctly.

Following a successful power up the following LED’s on the cell processor front panel should be active:

Active LED - Flashing while the processor is active

On Line LED

- Off if the processor is not communicating with other processors on the network

- On if the processor is communicating with other processors on the network. It will also come on when a Workbench is connected to it.

The 3-Character message display should be displaying the current unit number. Every unit on the XCell network must have a unique address. This address may be changed using the AUN menu option available from the Function Button immediately after startup. For further details refer to the AUN section under Function Menu below.

Operator InterfaceOperator InterfaceOperator InterfaceOperator Interface A number of important parameters must be set using the processor front panel Function Menu for correct system operation. The most important of these being the processor address / unit number. Other operating parameters are configured and downloaded from a PC using Microsol’s Workbench configuration tools. All front panel configuration options are described under the Function Menu options below.

XCell Operator InterfaceXCell Operator InterfaceXCell Operator InterfaceXCell Operator Interface

The XCell Front Panel (Figure 2), has a number of different display sections:

• Status LED’s

• 3 Character Display

• 128 LED Matrix

• Function Button

3333----Character DisplayCharacter DisplayCharacter DisplayCharacter Display

This 3 x 7-segment display is used to display:

• Unit Number

• Message Codes

• Function Menu options

- Unit Number – In normal operation, the Cell address or unit number is displayed in this section.

- Message Codes – Message codes are used to convey operational information to the user. They generally convey system or operational problems. They are displayed in place of the normal Cell address and will remain on display for approximately 1 minute unless canceled or replaced by another message.

- Function Menu – The 3-Character display may also be used in conjunction with the Function Button to provide a Function Menu for a variety of user diagnostics and configuration parameters. Refer to the section on Function Menu for further details.

LED MatrixLED MatrixLED MatrixLED Matrix

This display, which comprises 128 LED’s, is used for a number of purposes as selected by the Function Button Menu. These include:

• I/O Display

• Online Units Display

• Debug Display

I/O Display – Generally this LED matrix is used to display the status of the hardwired I/O. Each LED represents a physical hardware channel within that cell. For digital inputs and outputs the state of the LED indicates the state of the physical input or output. If the LED is ON, it indicates that the input or output is ON, and if the LED is OFF the input or output is OFF. For analogue input channels, the LED’s cycle through each of the channels indicating that the channels are being scanned. The cycle speed of the LEDs does not always correspond to the scan rate of the particular module. For HSC Counter modules, the LEDs cycle through the corresponding channel LEDs to indicate that the channels are present and being processed. The LED cycle on the HSC module is much faster than for analogues.

Online Units Display – The LED Matrix can be used to display the active units communicating on the FieldNet LAN. Each LED represents an XCell Unit address. Note: For display purposes those units with addresses greater than 128 will have their LEDs overlap with those in the range 1-128.

Debug Display – The matrix can also be used for specific application debug information. Some protocols update the Debug LEDs to provide user information on the current state of the protocol operation. Refer to the specific applications for further information on the use of the Debug Display.

AUN – Adjust Unit Number

This option is used to set the processor node address for FieldNet network communications. All units in a system must have unique numbers in order to communicate on the network. This is displayed by default on the 3-character display on the front of the processor.

The AUN option is only available from the function menu for 10 seconds after boot up. After this time the option is automatically removed from the menu.

On an XCell network, units can be numbered from 1 to 250. Unit numbers 251-254 are reserved for the Workbench configuration system and 255 is a broadcast address and must not be used.


Page 8 of 18

To change the unit number:

• Select the AUN, (Alter Unit Number), option from the function menu.

• Each of the 3 digits in the unit number must be changed separately starting on the right hand side.

• Increment each digit in the message display until the desired value is displayed. Hold the function button to accept the required digit and then proceed to set the next digit. The unit number must be between 1 and 250, numbers 0 and 251-255 are reserved for system purposes.

• Accepting the value on the third digit will save the new Unit Number and proceed to reboot the processor with the new network address accepted.

NET – Default Configuration of the TCP/IP stack

This option provides a way to enter a default TCP/IP configuration via the front panel without having to download a configuration table. Once a TCP/IP configuration table has been downloaded to a unit then the default configuration is no longer used.

There are two sections to the NET configuration. These are:

• BootP

• Default IP Address

BootP can either be turned ON or OFF, if it is turned ON, the units IP address is obtained from a Bootp/DHCP server automatically when the unit starts up. If BootP is turned OFF, then a default Class C IP address can be entered via the front panel.

CO1 – Configure Serial Port 1 Default Baudrate

The CO1 option allows the user to change the default baudrate for serial port 1 on the CPR-041. The default baudrate for XCell View and Workbench is 38400, but in certain circumstances, this baudrate might be required to be different.

The different baudrate settings are:

• 384 - 38400 baud

• 96 - 9600 baud

• 48 - 4800 baud

• 24 - 2400 baud

• 12 - 1200 baud

21 – CPR-021 Compatibility Mode

The 21 option allows the user to configure the CPR-041 in CPR-021 compatibility mode. In this mode, the CPR-041 will assume the time-base of the CPR-021. It will also disable any non CPR-021 functions.

There are two options available:

• OFF - CPR-041 is operating normally, with complete functionality.

• ON - CPR-041 is operating in CPR-021 compatibility mode.

CLO – Clock Drift

The CLO option allows the user to configure the CPR-041 in clock drift correction mode. With this option enabled:

When the processor’s time accuracy does not meet project requirements due to the crystal oscillator, it may be possible to use software compensation. The software compensation functionality uses a number of time synchronisations to determine a crystal’s error in the intervening periods. For each synchronisation with an external time, the correction to the processor’s current time is recorded and used to calculate an average. This average correction is then applied as the time is maintained to increase its accuracy.

The compensation functionality is appropriate for systems that require accurate time in the following situation:

1. There are periodic external time synchronisations.

2. The synchronisation process has an error less than half the drift error for the period between synchronisations.

The valid settings for the CLO option are:

• OFF - Clock Drift Correction is not enabled.

• ON - Clock Drift Correction is enabled.

TBL – Tables

This menu option and the RTU option below are used by processors with IEC-60870-5-101 Master or Slave protocol firmware installed. The TBL option allows the default IEC-60870-5-101 link configuration to be set from the front panel without downloading tables from Workbench. Refer to the IEC Master/Slave configuration Guide for further details.

RTU – RTU Number

This menu option and the TBL option above are used by processors with IEC-60870-5-101 Master or Slave protocol firmware installed. The RTU option allows the default Slave link-address to be set from the front panel. Refer to the IEC Master/Slave configuration Guide for further details.

SHC – Show Hardware Configuration

The SHC option in the function menu allows the operator to view and save the type of I/O associated with the processor. The SHC option will only be displayed if there is an IOServer name block loaded into the processor. Each processor module supports 4 Plant Interface modules located to the right of the processor. Some of these modules support two sub modules (daughter modules mounted on the main module). Therefore, the processor maintains 8 configuration definitions, one for each of the 8 possible hardware modules. The eight possible locations are shown in the following diagram. As most modules occupy two slot positions the same module type will be displayed for both locations.


Page 11 of 18

The SHC option displays the current hardware modules installed in the cell and the previously saved configuration. The processor operates with the saved configuration and assumes that this is the required configuration. If there is a mismatch between the saved configuration and the currently installed module it is assumed that the module is faulty and will report all associated channels as failed. It will also set a pseudo point indicating that the module is faulty and this can be transmitted to a Control Center. It is therefore very important to save the required configuration (using the SAV option at the end of the SHC display) before using the system. The required configuration should be saved for each cell as part of the initial system setup.

The SHC option in the function menu identifies the hardware in each half-card position (8 per cell) as shown above. These positions are referred to by their slot positions in the 3-character display panel (001 – 008). The majority of cards occupy a full card position and will therefore display the same module type for both half-card positions.

When the SHC option is selected the 3-character display shows the hardware installed in the first Slot position. It does this by toggling the display between the slot number “001” and the module type installed in that slot. For example it may toggle between “001” and “DI6” to indicate that a 64 channel Digital Input module is present in slot position 1 (the top half card of the first board). Refer to the following table for abbreviations used for the various module types.

Type Description

UNC Unknown module or No module present in slot

DI6 High Density Digital Input module

DO4 High Density Digital Output module

AI3 High Density Analogue Input module

HSC High Speed Counter module

HA5 High Density Analogue Input Card (HAI-050)

Using the function button the user can move through all 8 possible slot positions. If the cell hardware does not match the saved configuration then the SHC option will first display the current hardware for a particular slot followed by the saved configuration for the slot. The display of the current hardware will toggle between the hardware type and the slot number prefixed by the letter ’C’. For example if the current hardware in slot 1 is an interrupting Digital Input module then the display will toggle between “C01” and “DI6”. The saved hardware display is similar except that the letter ‘S’ prefixes the slot number.

Table 1 - Sample Hardware Configuration

To exit the SHC option or any other option, hold the Function Button for a count of five (5) or greater.

LED – LED Matrix Display Operations

This option (LED) allows the operator to select the 128 LED matrix on the front panel of the processor module for displaying the status of the I/O channels associated with the processor. The options are detailed in the following sections.

GPA (Group A)

If GPA is selected, the LED matrix will represent the first 128 I/O channels (channels 0-127) on the cell. I/O channel 0 will be displayed using the top left LED of the matrix (1a) with the sequential channel numbers incrementing down and to the right (e.g. column a will display channels 0-15, column b, channels 16-31 etc).

GPB (Group B)

If GPB is selected, the LED matrix will represent the second 128 I/O channels (channels 128-255) on the cell. I/O channel 128 will be displayed using the top left LED of the matrix with the sequential channel numbers incrementing down and to the right (e.g. column a will display channels 128-143, column b, channels 144-159 etc).

FSD – Field Service Data

The Field Service Data options (FSD) allows the operator to select the 128 LED matrix on the front panel of the processor module for displaying diagnostic information. The Field Service Data options are detailed in the following sections.

OLU - On Line Units

If OLU is selected, the LED matrix will represent all units that can be seen on the FieldNet network. The LED corresponding to each unit number is illuminated if that unit is communicating on the network. As the LED matrix is limited to 128 LEDs, the unit numbers wrap around on the LED matrix at unit 129. The top left hand LED (LED [1a] in the matrix) is turned on by units 1, or 129.

DBG - Debug

If DBG is selected the cell processor uses the LED matrix to display internal status information for a variety of software modules that may be loaded into the firmware. A mnemonic representing the module concerned is displayed on the message display and the individual LED’s in the matrix show specific status indicators for the module.

FFS – Flash File System

If FFS is selected the current contents, sector by sector, of the flash file system on the cell processor is displayed on the LED matrix. This is a map of the currently used flash memory area and includes both active and inactive files or data. Each sector (indicator LED) of the flash file system is 64k bytes in size.

XCell XCell XCell XCell Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet CommunicationsCommunicationsCommunicationsCommunications

All cells are capable of Ethernet communications through the 100/10BaseTx Ethernet port on the front panel of the CPR-041.

TCP/IP is used as the transport mechanism for the Ethernet communications. To configure the TCP/IP some address information is required. As a minimum the unit’s IP address must be assigned including a netmask.

To this end, there are two ways to configure an IP address for the Ethernet port. Either a configuration table in Workbench can be configured with the TCP/IP parameters, or a default IP address can be configured via the NET option on the front panel of the cell.

The Workbench Configuration will always take precedent over the default IP address, so if there is a TCP/IP Workbench Configuration downloaded, it will contain the IP address. If there is no TCP/IP configuration downloaded, the default settings (from the front panel) will be used.

For information on the Front Panel Default configuration, please refer to Section “NET – Default Configuration of the TCP/IP Stack” described previously

For information on the Workbench TCP/IP Configuration Table, please refer to the Microsol Workbench Configuration Manual.

Basic IP AddressingBasic IP AddressingBasic IP AddressingBasic IP Addressing

The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 12.182.54.41 could be an IP address.

Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.

The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. These four numbers can create an Internet address from the following three classes.

• Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks

• Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks

• Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks


Page 16 of 18

The IP numbers were originally setup for use in the Internet, but there are some addresses that can be used for local addressing and should not be used on the Internet. These are assigned specifically for private networks. In most cases these are the IP address ranges that our equipment would normally work in.

• 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) Class A

• 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) Class B

• 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) Class C

The most common one is the Class C address of 192.168.1.x where x is the unique identifier of the unit on the local network. This allows 253 unique devices to be connected together on a local network and is usually more than adequate for the job.

NetmaskNetmaskNetmaskNetmask

Every IP address must have an associated Netmask to determine what is the local network that the device is connected to. There is generally a netmask set up for each of the IP address classes.

• For Class A networks, the netmask is: 255.0.0.0

• For Class B networks, the netmask is: 255.255.0.0

• For Class C networks, the netmask is: 255.255.255.0

From the last section, if the address 192.168.1.x is used, this is a class C address and as such would generally have a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

For more detailed information on IP addressing and Netmasks, please refer to a Network Specialist as particular circumstances may very from system to system.
