Note that because the serial sniffer mode captures packets at the protocol driver level, a protocol must be configured on the selected serial port to provide data to the USB virtual COM port.
  • Page 28 Clearing the Capture Log All captured data may be cleared at any time while connected to a device or after disconnecting from a device. This will also reset the connection time duration and all counters. To reset all captured data, perform one of the following actions: Select Clear Log from the Edit menu.

  • Page 29: Batch Update Mode

    • 8.2.4 Batch Update Mode The ICC Configuration Studio supports a batch update mode for quickly updating firmware, and optionally, the configuration on all discovered devices without user interaction. While in batch update mode, the studio will automatically go online with a device, update the firmware, update the configuration if a matching configuration is found in the project, and then go offline with the device.

  • Page 30: Internal Logic Settings

    At the end of the log, the studio records statistics for the batch update session. The statistics include the following information: Devices Discovered The total number of devices discovered while in batch update mode. Successful The total number of devices that were updated successfully. Failed The total number of devices that the studio failed to update.
  • Page 31 8.3.1.2 Timeout Time The timeout time is the maximum number of milliseconds for a break in network communications before a timeout will be triggered. This timeout setting is configured at the protocol level as part of a driver’s configuration, and used by the protocol drivers themselves to determine abnormal loss-of-communications conditions.

  • Page 32: Database Logic

    8.3.2 Database Logic 8.3.2.1 Overview A variety of database logic operations are included which provide PLC-style manipulation of database values. Categories such as logical, arithmetic and filtering operations allow for autonomous control over value modification and data movement within the database. High-level signal conditioning is also realizable via the construction of compound formulas derived from the elemental building block operations provided.
  • Page 33 The Indirect Copy operation outputs the value at the database location • specified by the input source to the database location specified by the output destination. This operation can be used to access different database locations dynamically. It could also be used to create reusable database logic subroutines by selecting a different input and output location for the subroutine during each execution cycle.
  • Page 34 The Cosine operation calculates the expression cos(Input 1), where Input1 is • in radians. The Tangent operation calculates the expression tan(Input 1), where Input1 • is in radians. • The Arc Sine operation calculates the expression sin (Input 1), where the output is in radians.

  • Page 35: Service Objects And Diagnostics Objects

    database operation can be used for this purpose, such a scenario may most typically use the output of a “compare” operation in order to control whether or not other operations should execute (e.g. execute a certain operation only when some process variable is greater than a certain value, etc.) Allowing the conditional execution of database logic operations to be based on data values obtained via communications or as a result of other database logic operations enables the construction of flexible, hierarchical and dynamic data evaluation and...
  • Page 36 Master/client drivers commonly also provide the ability to debug configured service objects while the driver is running by way of optional diagnostics objects. Where supported, diagnostics objects can be added to each service object, and a database address can be designated at which to store the status information. The diagnostics object is a 16-byte structure containing elements such as a transmission counter, receive counter, receive error counter, current status, and the last error of the defined service object.

  • Page 39: Appendix A: Database Endianness

    11. Appendix A: Database Endianness A key feature of the Millennium Series gateways is the ability to change the byte order storage scheme for data in the database between big endian and little endian. The database endianness is the convention used to store multi-byte data to or retrieve multi-byte data from the database.
  • Page 40 Similarly, data is retrieved from the database starting at the low address. The endianness decides whether the first byte is interpreted as the least-significant byte or the most-significant byte of the multi-byte number. Here are some examples that demonstrate this. Figure 12 shows how the hex value 0x12345678 is retrieved from the database using a big endian byte order.

    simply stored into the database in the order they were received. Gateway endianness selection therefore has no effect on data storage or retrieval with a “bag of bytes” protocol driver. The other method is that used by networks that exchange data by means of an “object value”...

    In contrast, Figure 15 shows the effects of configuring the database for little- endian byte order. Holding registers 1 and 2 again have values of 0x1234 and 0x5678, respectively. However, when the PROFIBUS device receiving the input data from the gateway interprets these values, the resulting pairs of 2-byte values become 0x3412 and 0x7856, thus receiving incorrect values for holding registers 1 and 2.

  • Page 43: Bacnet - Devicenet Example

    Figure 16: Modbus - DeviceNet Little Endian In contrast, Figure 17 shows the effects of configuring the database for big- endian byte order. Holding registers 1 and 2 again have values of 0x1234 and 0x5678, respectively. However, when the DeviceNet device receiving the input data from the gateway interprets these values, the resulting pairs of 2-byte values become 0x3412 and 0x7856, thus receiving incorrect values for holding registers 1 and 2.
  • Page 44 reads analog value 0 from the BACnet network, stores the data into the database, and sends the input data onto the DeviceNet network. Figure 18 demonstrates the data flow from the BACnet network to the DeviceNet network through a gateway configured to use a little endian database. Because the DeviceNet specification defines multi-byte values within the byte array to be interpreted as little endian, it is recommended that the database be configured for little-endian byte order when using DeviceNet.

  • Page 45: Bacnet - Modbus Analog Element Example

    Figure 19: BACnet - DeviceNet Big Endian 11.4 BACnet - Modbus Analog Element Example This example exhibits two networks that both use an object value scheme to exchange data. In this scenario, the database endianness is irrelevant if the data types are the same for both networks.

  • Page 46: Bacnet - Modbus Binary Element Example

    Figure 21: BACnet - Modbus (Analog Objects & Registers) Little Endian 11.5 BACnet - Modbus Binary Element Example This example also contains two networks that both employ an object value method for exchanging data, but unlike the previous example, the database endianness does affect the end-to-end alignment of the data.
  • Page 47 Figure 22: BACnet - Modbus (Binary Objects & Discretes) Little Endian However, when the database is configured for a big-endian byte order, binary values 1…8 correspond to coils 9…16, binary values 9…16 correspond to coils 1…8, and so on. This can be seen in Figure 23. Since the most significant bytes of the Modbus registers that the coils map to are now mapped to lower addresses, the alignment between the two networks’...

    12. Appendix B: Diagnostics Objects This section details the information that is enabled by adding a diagnostics object to a service object. Figure 24 diagrams the structure of this status information. Because this 16-byte structure resides in the database at a user-designated location, it can be accessed from any supported network or protocol in order to continuously determine the health and performance of the corresponding service object.
