About this book
Section 1 Process station AC 700F

General
A scalable Freelance system essentially consists of the process and operator
stations. These stations are allocated to resources according to IEC 61131-3 and
serve as a structuring level in the project tree for allocation of the application
program parts and displays to the hardware actually required.
The D-PS resource stands for a process station (that is, a controller). The AC 700F
process station basically consists of a CPU module and can be extended with up to
eight I/O modules.
A single software tool Control Builder F suffices for making all necessary
configuration and commissioning actions from a PC. Graphical user interfaces are
available for diagnosing.
Your automation task is configured in editors as per IEC 61131-3 and loaded online
into the process station.
In order to facilitate the visualization of your process, a powerful software package
called DigiVis is available for operation.
System overview
The system view shows the graphic view of the hardware structure.
The system bus (Ethernet) links the individual stations with each other. It transmits
data between the process stations, the operator stations and the engineering station
through twisted pair cables. Communication within the AC 700F process station,
that is, data transmission between the CPU and the I/O modules, is realized through
the station bus (I/O bus).
The Engineering station (workplace) is based on a PC with the Microsoft
Windows operating system and the Control Builder F engineering software. It is
11
System overview
used for system configuration, documentation and commissioning. After these tasks
have been completed, it can be used remotely and for other purposes.
The operator station (workplace) is based on a PC with the Microsoft
Windows operating system and the DigiVis operator station software. Control
Builder F and DigiVis can be used simultaneously on the same PC.
A scalable Freelance system consists of operator stations and process stations. AC
700F and other Freelance process stations (controllers) can be used in a mixed or
pure arrangement.
Specific positions are assigned to the possible stations, either directly by doubleclicking a position in the graphic view, or in a dialog when they are inserted in the
tree structure.

Operating system and Controller firmware update

Firmware update
The firmware on the AC 700F process station must have the same version number as
the engineering software. The firmware can be updated either in the installation
phase from Control Builder F, or at a later time from Configure tool.
The prerequisite is that there is an Ethernet connection to the process station.
Prior to loading the firmware to a CPU you should check that the network
connection between the engineering PC and the process station works properly. For
this purpose, a ping is entered in the command prompt window under Windows
and then transmitted to the process station.
A positive response from the CPU module PM 783F indicates that there is a network
connection to the process station.

You can set the IP adress either directly on the process station using the front
panel keys and display or you can edit the IP parameters through the diagnostic
interface. See Mounting and Installation Manual AC 700F, First
Commissioning.

Configure
> Select Controller firmware update in the tree structure
> Enter the controller IP address in the right pane
> Deselect Update boot software check box > Click Download button
Only the operating system is downloaded then
Operating system download

The operating system is downloaded into the station through the system bus by
Bootstrap. The prerequisite is that no operating system resides yet in the process
station (RUN LED off). Otherwise, you have to Initialize all prior to downloading
the system. See also Resource in the project tree.
The operating system bootstrap is normally executed automatically when the
project is loaded for the first time by using the Load whole station option.
However, it can also be performed upon a separate initialization action,
independently of loading the user program.
16
Configuring the AC 700F resource in the project tree
Configuring the AC 700F resource in the project tree

In the project tree the individual software components of a project are shown in a
clear overview. The individual elements or objects, usually referred to as the project
objects, are implemented according to the IEC 61131-3 standard. Data processing
of process data actually takes place in the D-PS resources (process stations).
Process operation and monitoring are realized in the D-LS resources (operator
stations) or D-GS resources (gateway stations). Data from the Freelance system is
exposed to other systems by the OPC server resource.
The resources in the project tree have to be assigned to the hardware objects in the
hardware manager. This is done in order to define which program is to be executed
by which process, operator or gateway stations.
The process station resource (D-PS) stands for a Freelance process station, on
which the resource and the tasks and programs assigned to it are processed.
The short name D-PS in the project tree indicates that no allocation to a physical
station has been made yet in the hardware manager. Upon the allocation the
assigned station type PS is displayed.
The screen shot below shows a process station (D-PS) screen.

> Select on target position, click > OK
Inserting a task
In the process station, the actual programs are run in the tasks. The programs are
processed either with program lists or with the sequential function charts.
18
Configuring the process station in the hardware structure
Configuring the process station in the hardware structure

Within the hardware structure the resources defined in the project tree are allocated
to the hardware actually required. The D-PS resource stands for a process station in
the hardware structure.
The AC 700F process station consists of one CPU module and can be extended by
one PROFIBUS module with up to eight I/O modules.
The allocation to the physical stations is made in the hardware manager.
The PROFIBUS module allows the connection of a PROFIBUS line, that is, the
connection of PROFIBUS slaves. Each of these slaves can also be modular.
Inserting process stations

Process stations can be inserted in the system either in the tree view or system view.
After Insert the object will appear in both the tree view and the system view. The
object is shown in the respective station position. It is shown in graphical form.
Double-click on the gray field in the header of the inserted process station to make
the assignment of the resource.

Allocating a resource
Allocating a resource
When a station is allocated, it is automatically activated or a search operation is
carried out in the Control Builder F Commissioning mode to find the station on
the system bus.
In this way, the parts of the user program configured in the project tree are allocated
to the stations.
> Click the gray text field of the station > Edit > Resource allocation
> Select the corresponding resource from the list
Or
> Double-click the gray text field of the station

When an object is inserted, a default name is assigned to it which basically

represents the mounting position. When the object is copied, the object name is
adapted to the new position. When the object is moved, the name remains
unchanged.

Parameter settings include the Module data, the Boot Parameter and the IO
communication.
General module data
AC700F05us.bmp
Rack location Details the location of the rack where the process station is
accommodated.
Cabinet name Freely configurable text field for entering the cabinet name.
Rack bay name Freely configurable text field for entering the rack bay name.
Location
The location of the process station (PS) in the hardware structure.
Terminal unit The type of the CPU terminal unit.
22
Boot Parameter
AC700F06us.bmp
All configurable boot parameters of a resource will cause a project error when
they are changed. You have to initialize the resource to execute the boot
parameter changes.
For the actual memory calculation of a process station, all configured boot
parameter must be taken into account. The algorithm which is used for the
plausibility check, is not complete if more than one parameter is set near to the
maximum value. Although, there is no error reported from the check routine, the
load process into the process station cannot be performed properly. The controller
may produce a fatal error, the user has to remove the battery to perform a cold
start.
The maximum total used memory is 1600KB, which is a sum of
1) The configured PRAM size (in KB) and
2) (Maximum number of Objects configured) * 16bytes / 1024
Tasks
Information about the tasks that are run in the background. Every
communication link occupies internal system resources like
additional memory or system objects.
23
Network buffer Area of memory in kilobytes that is reserved for the communication
links.
Interface objects
Maximum number of objects that can be reserved for interfaces.
Memory
These parameters have an effect on the allocation of memory within

the resource. When there are an extremely large number of objects
in the process station, errors may occur on loading the objects; these
settings may be altered to try to make the project loadable.
Attention should also be paid to the system variables PRAM_Free and

RAM_Free after loading. If the variable PRAM_Free has a value of 0, then the
value of PRAM_ must be increased; if the variable RAM_Free is set to 0, then
both the PRAM_ size and the maximum number of objects must be reduced.
The memory for the CPU module (PM 783F) for PRAM and RAM
is limited to 2 megabytes. The memory can be subdivided as listed
below:
Memory for the operating system
+ Memory for the object directory (number of objects * 16 bytes)
+ Memory for PRAM
+ Memory for RAM
Total memory = 2 megabytes
AC700F08us.bmp
To ascertain a suitable value for PRAM, current values can be read

in commissioning mode. These values are shown in the following
system variables:
PS.PRAM_SIZE
PS.PRAM_FREE
PS.RAM_SIZE
PS.RAM_FREE
24
The PRAM size set in the boot parameters

The proportion of free PRAM
The amount of RAM in use
The proportion of free RAM
Max. No. of objects

The maximum number of objects that can be configured on the
resource.
Configuration data (PRAM)
Memory size in KB that is reserved for the configuration data. This
memory area is cold-start resistant.
System limits
Max. No. of user tasks
Maximum number of tasks to be configured for this resource.
No. of VIS
Number of permissible communication links to the operator stations
(DigiVis). See also Engineering Manual System Configuration,
Project tree.
No. of GWY
Number of permissible communication links between the resource

and the gateway stations (OPC). See also Engineering Manual
System Configuration, Project tree.
IO communication
AC700F07us.bmp
25
Defining module parameters
IO cycle time
Displays the relevant information related to the cycle time of the I/O
modules.
Fastest possible
The I/O communication determines the fastest possible cycle for
I/O communication, depending on the configured modules.
Depending on the configuration, the fastest possible cycle is
between 0.8 milliseconds and up to 2 milliseconds.
Not faster than
The cycle time can be limited to the value specified here in order to
reduce the CPU load through I/O communication. The I/O
communication will then calculate a cycle time that does not fall
below the specified minimum value. The possible value range is
between 1 millisecond and 20 milliseconds.
Actual cycle time
The actual cycle time in microseconds.
IO monitoring
The detection cycles of the I/O modules. 10 up to 50 detection
cycles are possible. Thus, the monitoring time results from the
current I/O cycle time multiplied by the number of detection cycles.
When the monitoring time has elapsed, the input values immediately assume
their configured safety value (hold last value or configured substitute value). The
I/O modules recognize the interruption of communication when the monitoring
time has elapsed and then assume their safety values.
Defining module parameters

The module parameters can be opened for display through the parameter setting
dialogs. The current values can also be read in commissioning mode.
For details on defining parameters for individual modules, refer to Parameters of the
CPU module.
26
PROFIBUS modules CM 772F and CI 930F
PROFIBUS modules CM 772F and CI 930F

PROFIBUS module of the AC 700F controller. The PROFIBUS module allows the
connection of a PROFIBUS line, that is, the connection of slaves. Each of these
slaves may also be modular. The module is installed in slot C1. CI 930F PROFIBUS
module can also be used as a replacement for the existing CM 772F PROFIBUS DP
master module. For more information on PROBFIBUS modules CM 772F and CI
930F, refer to Section 3, PROFIBUS interface modules.
Commissioning the process station

In commissioning mode the resource is loaded. The process station can be loaded
with the selection of the resource.
Resource in the project tree
AC700F10us.bmp
Resource states
A resource can assume various states that are displayed in the project tree behind the
objects and in the dialog box of the resource.
The display of resource states is divided into three parts:
27
Running, stopped, error state
Substates, such as warm start stopped or running partially
No connection
The system bus connection has been interrupted, or initialize all is
currently being executed, or no connection is possible, for example,
because of an invalid network address.
No operating system
Seen when system is first switched ON, or after initialize all of
resource
Stopping
Resource in transition from Running to stopped.
This state is only displayed if task processing takes a relatively long time.
Stopped [HW]
Resource has been Stopped by pressing the RUN key on the CPU
module.
Stopped [SW]
Resource has been Stopped by selecting Stop in commissioning.
If the resource is stopped while a task is at a break point, then this task switches
to not executable state. The error task is not initiated.
Cold start stopped
The command to cold start the resource had been initiated by the
person responsible for commissioning, or from the system function
Force cold start. Indicates self-test of CPU module was OK, but
the RUN key on the CPU module was kept pressed or the resource
was stopped by the person responsible for commissioning before
achieving running state.
The cold start task, Name.ColdSt (where Name = resource name) is executed
only when the resource is started (STOP to RUN). When cold starting, all the
resource data is initialized. The operating system is not affected and the output
module channels assume their safety values.
28
Warm start stopped

The command to warm start the resource was initiated by the person
responsible for commissioning or a power failure (power-fail signal
from the power supply unit). The CPU module was stopped by keeping
the RUN key pressed or the resource was stopped before achieving
running state by the person responsible for commissioning.
The warm start task, Name.WarmSt (where Name = resource name) is executed
only when the resource is started (STOP to RUN). When warm starting, all data
and variable values of the resource are unaffected and the output module channels
assume their safety values.
Starting
Resource in transition from stopped to running
This state is only displayed if task processing takes a relatively long time.
Running
Resource started and module set to running mode by pressing the

RUN key.
Running partially
Not all objects of the resource are working (for example, task is in
Stop state or program list is OFF).
Version error, running
There are user program version disparities between the active
station and the assigned resource. Such disparities are displayed
independently of the run state of the resource, and are therefore also
displayed when stopped.
[del2]
Resource objects have been deleted, in this case, two objects
Wrong station number

The station number in the process station (CPU module) does not
match the station number in the hardware structure (network).
Incompatible firmware version
The firmware version of the CPU module does not match that of
Control Builder F.
The Controller firmware must be updated. See Operating system and Controller
firmware update.

Resource processing
Bootstrap
The CPU is loaded with the operating system and is initialized.
Initialize all
The CPU module is fully initialized. The CPU modules operating

system is deleted. After a reboot the CPU can be bootstrapped that
is, the operating system is loaded.
Initialize
During initialization any user configuration present in the process

station is deleted. The output modules assume their zero values.
After a reboot the CPU module can be loaded with a new
configuration.
Cold start
The CPU module performs a cold start.
Warm start
The CPU module performs a warm start.
The number of power fail signals that have caused a warm start is counted in a
system variable (xxxx.NoPowerFail) which is reset to zero in the event of a cold
start. The time of the last power fail signal can be read in another system variable
(xxxx.PowerOffTim).
Run/Stop
The CPU module performs the command (Run or Stop). The

indicator LEDs or LCD of the CPU module indicate the current
state.

For a description of the configured data, see also Engineering Manual System
Configuration, Project tree.
If configured for autostart, the task starts automatically when the resource is
started All lower-level program lists and programs start along with the task as
long as the program list parameter has been set ON.
Task state displays
Ready
Task already loaded and manual start possible.
If no autostart has been configured for a task, it reverts to the ready state after
each cold start and has to be restarted.
Non-existent
Task is loaded but cannot be started. A software version error exists.
Not loaded
A change to a task, or to a program within the task, which has a side

effect on the task, has not been yet loaded.
Not executable
32
Task
During execution of the task, either an unrecoverable error occurred

or a recoverable error occurred while automatic error correction was
switched off.
Automatic error correction for a task is switched ON in the default setting. If
automatic error correction is switched OFF, the task changes to the not executable
state on any error, even if the error is recoverable. The error appears in text form
in the task header, and the object number of the faulty project object is also
displayed.
An exception is constituted by tasks which, although loadable, have no lowerlevel user program. Such a task is thus unable to initiate execution of a program.
If started nevertheless, it goes into the not executable state.
Running
After manual start of the task or when the task has been set up with
Autostart.
When a higher-level resource is stopped and re-started, the lower-level task

reverts to its old state. A task with Autostart changes automatically to running.
The state of the task may also be changed when the resource is stopped. The
changed state will be reassumed when the resource is restarted.
Stopped
After execution of Stop task, Stop station (HW) or Stop

higher-level resource (SW).
If a stopped task is reset to the ready state (not visible) with Reset, no change to
its state of stopped is displayed to the user. When Stop is changed to Start, the
RUN task is executed.
A task starts automatically if the RUN key on the CPU module is pressed to
switch to running mode and the previous state of the task was running.
braked
When the debugger is running, the task is at a break point. This state
can be quit using Single-step or Go in the program with the break
point.
If the resource is stopped while a task is at a break point, then this task switches
to not executable state. The error task is not initiated.

State displays in the project tree

In contrast to configuration, state information is maintained on project objects
during commissioning. This state information appears after each project object in
brackets (like the object types) and is updated as it changes. The state information
reflects the state of this object in the process station. If arrows should appear before
the nodes, these project objects must first be loaded or reloaded into the station
because of a configuration change. An exclamation point indicates that other objects
at levels below the one so marked need to be updated because of changes in their
configuration.
The color of the node in the display provides information about the effects of its
configuration change on other objects. Higher-level information may also need to be
updated in the station.
In commissioning, nodes are displayed in the same formats as in configuration. See
also Engineering Manual System Configuration, Project tree. All states except
Running are displayed in red.
39
Status displays in the hardware structure

After loading the resource in the station, the system or station knows which modules
or field devices are configured in the station. The components (modules, devices)
themselves may not have been installed yet, or the position of the installed
component may not match the positions (slots) configured. Such errors are signaled
by colored state information.
System > Hardware structure
AC700F_Error indication.png
State in the tree view
In the tree view, state information is shown thus: active (black), faulty (red) and
inactive (gray). The color coding is applied to the object information (text) rather
than the icon.
Module state in the system and station views
The modules of the process station are displayed in various different colors
according to their current state.
Color and state

modules). At least one channel on the module has been forced.
State of the basic unit
On insertion into the hardware structure the AC 700F process station is displayed
with its basic unit. The basic unit indicates whether the unit is active, inactive or
faulty. Where a fault is indicated, this is generally due to the unit not being detected
at all, that is, not being installed or being impossible to address through the system
bus.
dark gray
The basic unit is activated.
light gray
The basic unit is not activated
red
The basic unit cannot be addressed
State of the modules
The detail view provides some detailed information about the I/O modules of the
process station, thus enabling the user to easily identify the modules.
The state of modules is indicated by a colored triangle.

Section 2 Central processing unit PM 783F

This section describes the Central Processing Unit (CPU) PM 783F and its
parameter settings.
The CPU module PM 783F is the data-processing module of the AC 700F process
station. It must be plugged into Slot P.
The slot C1 to the left of Slot P is used to plug the PROFIBUS Module CM 772F or
CI930F. When a PROFIBUS module is not in use, a dummy coupler module
(TA724F) must be plugged into this slot to protect the coupler slot.
