Fieldbus modules DESCRIPTION The MBx communication modules give access to various information relating to the Mosaic system, while the MI-Bx communication modules give access to information relating to the Micron barriers. Both modules allow sending of commands from the PLC. Each device connected to the Mosaic inputs is characterized by an ON/OFF status and possible diagnostics.
Fieldbus modules POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS OF MBX / MI-BX MODULES In this case, the MBx and MI-Bx modules are connected to the data source (Master M1/M1S or Micron barrier). The connection of the PC via USB cable (USB "C" interface) is used to configure the module and, if desired, to monitor the data arriving from the source.
Fieldbus modules POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS OF MBU / MI-BU MODULES In this case, the MBU and MI-BU modules are connected to the data source (M1/M1S Master or Micron barrier). The connection of the PC via USB cable (USB "C" interface) is used to configure the module and, if desired, to monitor the data arriving from the source.

Fieldbus modules If two or more modules of the same type are installed, the one with the lowest node number is displayed first. Each module equipped with digital inputs occupies several BITs corresponding to the number of physical inputs; M1/M1S, MI8, MI8O2, MI8O4 modules will therefore use 1 byte, MI12T8 and MI16 modules will use 2 bytes.
Fieldbus modules MBx MODULES: TROUBLESHOOTING Each safety input and output can generate a diagnostics code. When the I/O is connected correctly, the diagnostics code is "DIAGNOSTICS_OK". When diagnostics are generated on an input or output, the system exposes 2 bytes: - the index of the input or output which generated the diagnostics ("I/O index").
Fieldbus modules "I/O INDEX" FIELD This field indicates the number used to identify the I/Os with a diagnostics code other than "DIAGNOSTICS_OK". The I/O index range depends on the system version used. Please refer to the following tables for the values of these data.
Fieldbus modules "DIAGNOSTICS CODE" FIELD To examine the diagnostics in question, read the document ”8547781 - ERRORS CODE / DIAGNOSTICS” which can be downloaded from the website "www.reersafety.com" 8541654 • 12/04/2023 • Rev.0...
Fieldbus modules MI-Bx MODULES: CYCLIC DATA The beam status or Micron barrier measurements are available on the cyclic process map. Cyclic data is listed in the table below: Data direction: from the module to the PLC Data Notes Beams status/measurements Data direction: from the PLC to the module Data transmission request command...
Fieldbus modules MI-Bx MODULES: GENERAL INFORMATION The process map provides the beam status or the barrier measurements. The map can range from a minimum of 1 byte up to a maximum of 58 bytes. The BITs of each byte represent the status of each beam or measurement, depending on how the Micron barrier was configured by the user.
The bus module is connected to the configuration PC via the USB "C" or "mini-USB" interface located on the front panel. Configuration is performed with the "Bus Configurator - User interface" software that can be downloaded from the ReeR website. Starting from version 5.0.0, the software is supplied in two versions: ▪...

Fieldbus modules At the top right there are the boxes "CPU Error 0" and "CPU Error 1", which show the error information if Mosaic module fails. The box highlighted in black contains information about the inputs and outputs, together with diagnostics.
Fieldbus modules User interface for MI-Bx modules If the BUS module connected to the PC belongs to the MI-Bx series, then the user interface will be similar to the following image. At the top right, there is the "CPU Error 0" box which shows the error information if the Micron barrier fails.
Page 41
Fieldbus modules At the bottom right (circled in red) there are five types of information: ▪ network status o EtherNet/IP stack: it indicates whether there is or not a network connection if the PLC is not connected. When the PLC is connected to the module, then it indicates the presence or not of the connection to the PLC.
Fieldbus modules CONNECT BUTTON (COMMAND) The Connect button is available as soon as a powered BUS module is connected to the configuration PC via a USB cable. Figure 4 - Software interface without the BUS module. ➔ The Connect button is not available, the "BUS Module" label at the bottom right shows the module as "Not Present".

Fieldbus modules Figure 5 If the communication is successful: 1) information regarding the network configuration, network status, module status and process map status will be received (i.e., if "Analogue data" or "Restart Input Status" have been previously selected). 2) the monitor will automatically start enabling the process data cyclical reception from the BUS module.
Fieldbus modules WRITE BUTTON (COMMAND) The Write button is used to write the configuration on the module. The configuration concerns the network and the process map parameters (either fixed or in backwards-compatible mode). The configurable network parameters depend on the type of stack installed. The process map parameters regard: •...

Fieldbus modules A new "Backward compatibility" tab will then appear (see Figure 11) enabling the user to choose the subsection to be exported to the fieldbus (ref. Figure 11) by changing the size of each process map and, therefore, the size used in the physical memory of the PLC. When the module is connected, all data is displayed in the main software window.

Fieldbus modules If two or more modules of the same type are installed, the one with the lowest node number is displayed first. Each module equipped with inputs has a number of BITs corresponding to the number of physical inputs; M1, MI8, MI8O2 modules will therefore use 1 byte, and MI12T8 and MI16 modules will use 2 bytes.
Fieldbus modules Factory Reset Command This command is used to reset the network parameters and process map parameters to the factory default settings. For example, if the module process map was configured with "Analogue Data", after a "Factory Reset" it will go back to being without "Analogue Data". Confirmation is requested before performing the command.

Fieldbus modules • E-STOP input 1 is connected to screws 6 and 7 on M1/M1S. Its status (zero or one) is contained in BIT 5 of byte 0 reserved for inputs. BIT 6 is always set to zero: it is kept fixed to signal that the E-STOP occupies two screws on M1/M1S.
