Page 91: Field Bus
This tool enables you to configure the field bus board on the one hand, and to generate a ConfigTag.xml file on the other hand. The file must be copied by Ftp in the /usr/applicom/io directory of the CS8C controller. If this file is present on start-up, the Inputs/Outputs of the field bus are displayed on the control panel and are directly accessible via a VAL3 application.
Page 92 Field bus errors are shown by messages on the MCP, which can also be accessed using the "events logger " application. These errors start with the word "FIELDBUS", followed by a CS8C diagnosis, the identification of the board, the equipment and the channel concerned, and the Status (Applicom diagnosis).

5.7.2. OPERATION IN THE CS8C CONTROLLER PLC cycle The PLC program in the CS8C has access to all the digital and analog inputs and outputs in the system. It can communicate with a VAL3 program via the analog or digital outputs of the system.
Page 97 Inputs/Outputs are refreshed with each PLC cycle, each VAL3 synchronous cycle and each VAL3 asynchronous cycle. PLC utility for the MCP The main menu of the CS8C includes a "PLC" utility that displays the main characteristics of the PLC program being executed: •...
Page 98 • The direction field must be set to 0 for an input and 1 for an output. Automatic creation of the PLC variables on the basis of the Inputs/Outputs for the CS8C controller can be carried out using the SRS import tool (Tools > PLC > Import) (see figure 5.21).
Page 99 • If necessary, update the CS8C emulator inputs and outputs using the SRS downloading tool. • Create or load the desired PLC application (File > Create / Open a PLC project). The CS8C Inputs/Outputs emulated are then displayed in the left-hand frame.
Page 100 If a PLC program is already being executed, it may be necessary to stop it via the programming environment before downloading the new program. The download also copies the PLC program on the CS8C, which means that the last program downloaded is executed automatically when the controller is started up.
Page 101: Ethernet Link
5.8.1. CONFIGURATION The CS8C has 2 Ethernet ports, J204 and J205. The IP address of each of these ports can be modified via the control panel. The modification takes effect immediately. On delivery, the first port is configured with the address 192.168.0.254 (mask 255.255.255.0) and the second one with the address 172.31.0.1 (mask 255.255.0.0).
Page 102 Modbus Tcp errors are shown by messages on the MCP, which can also be displayed using the "events logger " application. These errors begin with the word "MODBUS" followed by a CS8C diagnosis, identification of the channel concerned, and the Status (applicom diagnosis).
Page 103: Ethernet Sockets
A "Test" menu can be used to test the connection with the server. A server socket is activated ("opened") in the CS8C each time a VAL3 program uses it, and deactivated ("closed") when the last customer logs off. When the maximum number of clients has been reached for a server socket, other clients attempting to log on are accepted but the communication is interrupted immediately by the server.
Page 104: Serial Port
5.9. SERIAL PORT Two serial ports are available on the CS8C controller (J203, COM1 and J201, COM2) to exchange data between a VAL3 application and an equipment item in the cell. The serial links are configured via the Input/Output display on the Control panel.
Page 105: Software Configurations
5.10. SOFTWARE CONFIGURATIONS The software configuration can be used to modify certain characteristics of the controller, program user profiles to limit access to certain functions, and program Inputs/Outputs to enhance CS8C integration in the cell. 5.10.1. CONFIGURATION OF THE CONTROLLER CHARACTERISTICS The Control panel application gives the various system characteristics.

Page 247 CONTROLLER CHARACTERISTICS The CS8C controller is protected at its input from risks of short-circuits by Am type fuses. The load on the primary circuit depends on the type of arm installed, the voltage rating of the power supply and the type of network (single phase or three-phase) (load = current in the controller power supply circuit when the arm is operating).
Page 248 For a breaker, type U: ln<=488 / 8 = 61 A. the size immediately lower is 52 A. At the short-circuit current, the disconnection happens in less than 5 s. 248 / 248 © Stäubli 2009 – D28070504A CS8C...
