Section 2 Functionality Changes

Introduction
This section summarizes functionality changes related to Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Version 5.0.2/0. The section contains the following: New Functions. Discontinued and Replaced Functions and Units.
New Functions
The following information characterizes new functions for Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Version 5.0.2/0.
Support for IEC 61850 using CI868

The IEC 61850 for Substation Automation System (SAS) standard defines communication between intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) in the substation and other related equipment. The CI868 Communication Interface makes it possible for the AC 800M Controller to be modeled as an IED receiving data from other IEDs to the 1131 variables, and to send data from its own 1131 variables to other IEDs per IEC 61850 data modeling. This is achieved using the IEC 61850 hardware library (CI868IEC61850HwLib). The CI868 Communication Interface in SV 5.0 SP2 supports the GOOSE communication mechanism but not the MMS communication defined in the IEC 61850 standard.
3BSE033044D5020

Improved Execution Performance
Improved Execution Performance

Optimizations in the Application Compiler and the controller execution engine have reduced execution times for 1131 code (as seen in the Task Dialog, etc.) by eight to 25 percent compared to previous versions. This leads to a corresponding reduction of Cyclic Load for an upgraded, unchanged project. The actual improvement is dependent on programming style, use of library blocks, etc. Other hints to improve controller performance are: Cyclic load can be reduced significantly if the new SignalBasicLib function blocks are used instead of SignalLib function blocks. Proper adjustment of the ModuleBus Scan Cycle Time can significantly improve performance.
Engineering Environments
Convert a Control Module Instance to a Single Control Module. Right-clicking on a Control Module instance in the Project Explorer and selecting the Convert to Single Control Module makes it is possible to convert a Control Module instance to a Single Control Module. The Control Module instance may contain other Control Modules. Editors Filter in Editors. Selecting Tools-> Filter from the editor of an Application,
Function Block Type, Control Module Type, Single Control Module, or Program makes it possible to filter the content of a column in the variable grid of the editor. From the Filter dialog one can decide which rows to display or hide by selecting or deselecting criteria items. The Criteria items can also be text filtered. A button in the toolbar of the editors can also be used instead of the menu options. The filter functionality is available both in offline and online mode.
Sorting in Editors. Selecting Tools-> Sort A to Z or Tools-> Sort Z to A from the
editor of an Application, Function Block Type, Control Module Type, Single Control Module, or Program makes it possible to sort the content in the variable grid in alphabetic order. Sorting will be per column. If no column is selected the sorting
22
3BSE033044D5020
will be based on the name column. Buttons in the toolbar of the editors can also be used instead of the menu options. The sorting functionality is available both in offline and online mode.
New Function Block Parameter Attribute: By_Ref
The attribute gives the Control Builder information about how to handle the parameter, if the value should be retained, cold retain etc. For in and out parameters the value of the parameter is copied into the called instance at the call of the Function Block. For structured data types and strings this can be quite time consuming. To improve performance a new attribute called by_ref is introduced. By using the by_ref attribute the data will be passed in the Function Block call instead of copied. The following limitations applies for by_ref: It is not allowed to connect expressions or literals to a reference parameter. Example: fb.par_in := 2; It is not allowed to read or write the parameter from outside the function block (except in the function block call). Example: k := fb.par_out;
Hidden Attribute on In_out Parameter. It is now possible to set the attribute hidden on in_out parameters. This was not previously supported. Width of Columns in Hardware Editor Decided by Content
When a Hardware editor is opened the width of the columns is decided by the content of the columns. The user used to have to adjust the column width by using the menu command Tool->Adjust Column Widths or the short command Ctrl+Q.
Device Import Wizard
This version includes an improved version of the Device Import Wizard. It is recommended to use the new Device Import Wizard version, instead of the older one. A number of improvements and error corrections have been made. Improved check and substitution for illegal characters "." and "," inside device names, module names, and parameter names. Added check to guarantee unique names for devices and modules.
3BSE033044D5020
23
Advanced status configuration for boolean channels is now working. Mapping of diagnostics from device to module level is now working for first import and re-import. Removed advanced status configuration for conversions 1 Byte to DInt and 1 Word to DInt since they were not supported by copy routines 301/401.
Search and Navigation General.
The amount of memory needed for the search data base is significantly lower compared to previous versions. Less time needed to build the search data base, for some applications it is a significant improvement. Assignment of a structured data type is now also found when searching for one of its components. It is now possible to search for a specific extensible parameter in online mode.
Search and Navigation in Function Block Diagram and Ladder Diagram Editor. When search and navigation is used in the Function Block Diagram editor
the object will be highlighted. In previous versions only the FBD pane, where the object was located, was selected.
Search and Navigation in Online and Test Mode. Online searches are now
modified to be so called deep searches and report all input/output of a certain signal as a result of a single search, irrespective of name changes at parameter connections. This means all information concerning reading and writing from the whole Application/Controllers about a signal is found through one click of the Search button. Previously the user had to contend with the time consuming task of making repetitive queries to follow a signal across projects the were potentially very large.
24
3BSE033044D5020
New Menu Options Compiler Statistics Tool. Selecting Tools-> Compiler Statistics in the Project
Explorer launches the Compiler Statistics Tool. This tool is available offline and can be used to, for example, list the number of POU instances in a Project or Application, how many times a certain instance is used, the size of the application, or an instance, number of parameters, etc.
View Different Versions of the Difference Report. Selecting Tools-> View Accepted Difference Reports in the Project Explorer makes it possible to open a previously approved difference report. Library Usage. Right-clicking on a library and selecting Library Usage makes it possible to see if the Library is connected to an Application, Controller, or another Library. This new functionality will help the Engineer remove old versions of a Library that are no longer used in the project. Presentation of Number of Instances in an Application. Right-clicking on an application and selecting Statistics makes it possible to see how many instances the selected application contains. The origin of the instances is also listed, i.e. which library or application the type is defined in. Compile and Download Additional Consistency Checks at Download to Controller. Additional consistency checks have been implemented in the Control Builder, to ensure that inconsistent or corrupt configuration and application data can never be downloaded to the Controller.
If any of the data (domain) files used at download are missing, or there is a mismatch of the timestamps etc, the download will be blocked with an error message. The events leading to such a situation can be that a previous download was disrupted in an uncontrolled way, e.g., due to a network failure or memory full, or that data files could not be saved properly on disk.
3BSE033044D5020
25
Depending on what data is missing or causing the mismatch, the situation will have to be resolved by a ColdRestart of the concerned Application(s), or, sometimes, by a controller reset. The most common reason for missing files are: communication is lost during setup of controller configurations, backup/restore has failed, and that the controller is running with an outdated backup media download.
Additional Warnings During Download to Controller. Additional warning messages are implemented to avoid the Controller being reconfigured in the wrong mode after a download e.g. if warm restart is selected but the changes in the application require a cold restart, the system previously made a cold restart. Now the warning Are you sure.. will be displayed and the user has the option to cancel the download. Possible to Add Previously Deselected Applications During Online Without Download. It is now possible to add previously deselected downloaded applications
during Online Without Download. Previously the workaround was to select Online With Download (no download was performed if the Applications was not changed).
New Compiler Switches. The following compiler switches are added.
SFC Language: Checks that no SFC language is used. Force I/O from Code: Checks that there is no forcing of I/O signals from application code, i.e. writing to the forced component of an IO data type is not allowed. Multiple Calls to the Same Function Block: Checks that there is only one call to the same Function Block instance in a POU-type. None or Multiple Calls to ExecuteControlModules: Checks that Control Modules exist in a Function Block Type. There must be one, and only one, call to the firmware function ExecuteControlModules on the top level without conditions.
Difference Report
The following functionality has been added to the difference report.
26
3BSE033044D5020
Control and I/O
Line Comparison. Two lines in the Difference Report can be compared to each other. Select a line in the Difference Report and open the context menu and select 'Compare lines'.
Control and I/O

Filter Out System Alarms from Hardware Units
Filter out system alarms is a function that is used to reduce the number of alarms generated from hardware units. A typical example of when this functionality can be used is during commissioning of the system or when adding a new part to an existing system. The function is configured from the Hardware object editor on the controller. Select the Settings tab and there is a parameter called Filter out system alarms from hardware units. The different filter options are Off, Underflow, Overand underflow, Channel error, and All. The errors and warnings will still be visible in the hardware tree and the Unit Status tab in the hardware online editors when the setting is set to filter out alarms. The filter prevents generation of system alarms and events that otherwise will end up in Alarm and Event Lists.
Compact Flash
Warning Message when Compact Flash Card is Empty
If a Compact Flash card is inserted to the Controller and the card is empty a warning with the description No image will be generated.
Standard Libraries
The following objects have been added to the libraries delivered with the Control Builder.
New firmware functions InhibitDownload. The firmware function InhibitDownload makes it possible to
block a download to the Controller from Application code.
3BSE033044D5020

Standard Libraries
Signal Objects SignalLib. The SignalLib library has been extended with the following objects. Object names that start with SD (Shut Down) are intended to be used together with the SD objects in the SupervisionBasicLib library for shutdown logic.
SDLevelAnd4: The Control Module Type SDLevelAnd4 makes an AND function between four signals of SDLevelMConnection. SDLevelOr4: The Control Module Type SDLevelOr4 makes an OR function between four signals of SDLevelMConnection. SDLevelBranch4:The Control Module Type SDLevelBranch4 splits a signal of SDLevelMConnection into four new signals. SDLevelM: The Control Module Type SDLevelM provides an easy way to structure the Emergency or Process shutdown logic in the commonly used level hierarchy. There is an activation input parameter from surrounding objects as well as from superior levels, and output parameters to affect process objects as well as subordinate levels. These four input and output possibilities may be inhibited individually.
SignalBasicLib. The SignalBasicLib library is new and contains simple signal objects. The signal objects in this library are also suitable to use in non-SIL applications, since they consume less memory and execute faster than the ones in SignalLib.
SignalBasicBool: The Function Block type SignalBasicBool is used for overview and maneuvering of boolean signals of data type bool. SignalBasicInBool: The Function Block type SignalBasicInBool is used for overview and forcing of boolean input signals of data type BoolIO. SignalBasicOutBool: The Function Block type SignalBasicOutBool is used for overview and forcing of boolean output signals of data type BoolIO. SignalBasicReal: The Function Block type SignalBasicReal is used for overview and maneuvering of analog signals of data type real. SignalBasicInReal: The Function Block type SignalBasicInReal is used for overview and forcing of analog input signals of data type RealIO.
3BSE033044D5020
29
Standard Libraries
SignalBasicOutReal: The Function Block type SignalBasicOutReal is used for overview and forcing of analog output signals of data type RealIO.
SupervisionBasicLib. The SupervisionBasicLib library is new and contains
Function Block types intended for shutdown logic. Basically, they have one normal condition and one safe condition. Some of the Function Block types in the library are not protected, i.e. it means that they can be copied to a user defined library/application and then modified according to user requests. The Function Block types that can be copied are: SDBool, SDReal, SDInBool, SDInReal, SDOutBool, and SDValve. SDBool: The Function Block type SDBool is a variant of SDInBool. The In parameter is of Bool data type, alarm/event handling when input value is different from Normal value. SDLevel: The Function Block type SDLevel provides an easy way to structure the Emergency or Process shutdown logic in the commonly used level hierarchy. There are activation input parameters for input signals (Cause) and superior levels (In), and output parameters for output signals (Effect) and subordinate levels (Out). These four signals can be inhibited by input parameters and by Faceplate commands. SDInBool: The Function Block type SDInBool extends the functionality of a Digital Input signal of data type BoolIO with alarm/event handling when input value is different from Normal value. The activation output (DiffNormalAct) is inhibitable and is intended for safety activation logic. SDInReal: The Function Block type SDInReal extends the functionality of an Analog Input signal of data type RealIO with alarm/event handling for up to two high levels, up to two low levels, and errors. Filtering is also provided. The activation outputs (GTHHAct, GTHAct, LTLAct, and LTLLAct) are inhibitable and are intended for safety activation logic. SDOutBool: The Function Block type SDOutBool extends the functionality of a digital output signal of data type BoolIO with alarm/event handling when output value is different than Normal value. SDReal: The Function Block type SDReal is a variant of SDInReal. The In parameter is of Real data type, alarm/event handling for up to two high levels, up to two low levels, and error.

New Hardware Units
StatusRead: The Function Block type StatusRead is used, in application code, to retrieve the signals from the Status output from the Function Block types SDInBool, SDInReal, SDLevel, SDOutBool, and SDValve. When several status output signals are or-ed, the result can be connected to a StatusRead Function Block type to achieve overview indication. SDValve: The Function Block type SDValve is suitable for control and supervision of a shutdown valve with one position defined as 'fail', i.e. Fail Open (FO) or Fail Close (FC).
New Hardware Units

MMS Communication
Synchronized Write for MMS Internal Communication
It is now possible to get a synchronized write on MMS telegrams between applications running in the same Controller. MMS messages up to 800 bytes in length (corresponding to 100 to 250 simple variables) are sent synchronously by MMSWrite to an Access Variable in the same controller. No other 1131 tasks or communication subsystems can interrupt the transmission.
Legacy Protocols
INSUM New INSUM MCU Type - MCU v2. There is a new INSUM MCU type called
MCU v2 in the CI857InsumHwLib library. The new HWUnit works like the existing MCU HWUnit except that when process related Alarm bits are set, the Warning indication is not set. The Alarm bits are still indicated as status bits but without indicating a Warning.

Maintenance
MODBUS TCP Support for Real Data Type in MODBUS TCP. The data type real is now
supported in MODBUS TCP Master communication.

Serial Communication Read Messages Longer than 140 Characters Using SerialListen. It is now possible to listen for messages longer than 140 characters using the Function Block type SerialListen. A new status code, +400, has been added indicating that the receive buffer holds more characters to be read. The Function Block can then be called multiple times in the same scan. Receive Buffer now not Always Emptied when Enabling the SerialListen Function Block. The SerialListen function block was changed in Version 5.0 so it
automatically emptied the receive buffer when being enabled; however, this is not always the desired behavior. In Version 5.0 SP2 the SerialListen function block has a new parameter called "ClearBuffer". The default value is True, and the block behaves like in Versions 5.0 and 5.0 SP1. Setting the parameter to False means that the buffer handling works as in versions prior to 5.0; the receive buffer is then not emptied when the listen block is enabled.
Maintenance
Controller Analysis for Service Engineers
By selecting the button Show Controller Analysis in the Remote System dialog the Controller Analysis dialog will be opened. From this dialog it is possible to receive maintenance information from the Controller like reset Module Bus Fail Counters or get Module Bus I/O Revisions.

Discontinued and Replaced Functions and Units

The following information characterizes discontinued and replaced functions and units for Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Version 5.0.2/0.
Project Constants Shall not be used as Initial Values in Objects
Initial values on parameters in Control Module types and Function Block types may NOT be originated from project constants. The reason is that if the value of the project constant is changed by a user this may result in different instances of the same type behaving differently if some instances are downloaded after the change with a cold restart and some are not downloaded at all. To solve this issue the project constants are replaced with a literal value with the same value as the project constants. This change has been done in the following libraries: SignalLib.
If Projects Constants in the "cInit" group are changed, then all unconnected parameters that use these Project Constants must be individually assigned.
Project Explorer Editors Retain Attributes on Parameter. When a parameter is created the retain attribute is
no longer added automatically. This change is valid for both Control Module types and Function Block types.
34
3BSE033044D5020
Composite Data Types in Hardware editors. In the hardware editors the simple
data types are replaced with composite data types, i.e. Bool is replaced with BoolIO. It is still possible to connect a simple data type to a channel, e.g. Real can be connected to an I/O channel of the type RealIO. The data type for UnitStatus is changed from Dint to HwStatus.
Menu Commands Move Up/Down Commands Removed. The menu commands Move Up and Move
Down are removed from the context menus of Control Modules and Single Control Modules. The objects are now always listed in alphabetic order.
Hardware Not Possible to add CI851 or CI852 units in Hardware Tree. It is no longer possible to add CI851 or CI852 units to a Controller in the hardware configuration. The reason is that CI851 and CI852 are in classic mode. Projects that already contain CI851 or CI852 units are not affected by this change. Compile and Download New Error Messages at Download of I/O Connections.
It is no longer possible to move the connection to an I/O channel from one application to another without first removing the existing connection. An attempt to move the connection will be prevented by the compiler error:
Error 9164 : The I/O-channel was used by another application at last download.
The workaround is: 1. 2. 3. 4. Disconnect the channel from the variable in the first application, Perform a download. Connect the channel to a variable in the other application. Perform a second download.
3BSE033044D5020
35
If the controller configuration is successfully downloaded, but the following download of the applications is disturbed, the Control Builder might come to a situation where it is not able to analyze which I/O connections are configured and running in the controller. The disturbances that might have an influence on the application download can be: Memory full in the Control Builder or the controller. Communication interruption. Fatal error in the Control Builder during the download.
If the Control Builder can not analyze the I/O connections the download will be prevented by the compiler error:
9166 : The I/O-connections for the application are not possible to analyze. Cold restart of application is required. Not Possible to Go Online to Controller After Downloading to Compact Flash.
In SV5.0 SP2, restrictions on Controller Configuration download have been implemented in order to reduce the risk for crashes and shutdowns at reconfiguration. This affects the supported workflows for loading a Compact Flash card. In SV 5.0 SP2, to be able to download to a running controller, the Control Builder must have access to the domain file that was created at the previous download. If not, the controller must be Reset before a download can be made. This is not a restriction at normal use cases for downloading changes from the Control Builder. However, when a Control Builder makes a download to a Compact Flash card (attached to the Control Builder), it overwrites the file from the previous download. Consequently, after a download to a Compact Flash card, it is no longer possible to download from a Control Builder to the controller whose content was just loaded into the Compact Flash card. Also, if an attempt is made to download to the controller in this situation, there will be an incorrect error message saying that the system is inconsistent. Workaround, Clarifications and Helpful Hints Do not load controllers alternately from a Control Builder, and from a Compact Flash card.
36
3BSE033044D5020
Never load a Compact Flash card from a Control Builder that is connected to the same 800xA System that is also used to download to the actual controller. Background The Compact Flash card is primarily intended for use with the Compact products, and for use in controllers that are not connected to a network. It can; however, also be used in an 800xA System, and in a controller connected to a Control Network. However, since the Compact Flash card can only be loaded when attached to the Control Builder workstation, and its content is loaded into a controller at startup, there has never been general support for a workflow where a controller is loaded alternately from a Control Builder and from a Compact Flash Card. The user will easily end up in situations where warm download from the Control Builder is not possible. The intended work flow has always been to load the Compact Flash card in the workstation, then insert it in the controller, and then reset the controller.
Simulate Hardware is Default Turned Off. The possibility to use Simulate
Hardware is default turned off in the control Builder. Select Tools-> Setup-> Station-> Application Download and then set the system variable HWSimulationAllowed to true to activate the hardware simulation. The system variable did not exist before, Simulate Hardware was always enabled.
Restrictions Against Downloading to Hardware Simulation Controllers. If Hardware Simulation controllers are connected on the same Control Network as the corresponding real controllers, the real controllers may receive unintentional downloads or be blocked from subsequent downloads to real controllers.
After a download to a Hardware Simulation controller, it is no longer possible to download from the same System to the corresponding real controller. Also, if an attempt is made to download to the controller in this situation, there will be an incorrect error message saying that the system is inconsistent. Never load a Hardware Simulation controller from a Control Builder that is connected to the same 800xA System that is also used to download to the actual controller. Always connect Hardware Simulated controllers to a separate System and network.

Maintenance
Unchanged Applications not Stopped During Reconfiguration. When changes
are downloaded to an Application the other running Applications in the Controller will not be affected. Previously all running Applications were stopped in the Controllers during the reconfiguration even if there were no changes downloaded to them.
Firmware Integrity Check at Upgrade via Ethernet. The integrity of the downloaded firmware is now checked by the AC 800M controller when upgrading the firmware via Ethernet. Additional integrity data has been added to the downloaded file; a corrupted firmware file will be discarded by the controller. This also means that a controller running Version 5.0 SP2 firmware will reject an Ethernet based downgrade of the firmware to an older version. Downgrade must be made using the Serial Firmware Upgrade tool.
Maintenance
System Variables Change System Variables in Controller. Previously the Setup - System Variable
dialog launched when the Change System Variables button in the Remote System dialog was used. System variables are now changed by selecting More in the Controller Analysis dialog that is launched from the Show Controller Analysis button in the Remote System dialog.

Installation
The BasicHwLib 5.0-1, ProcessObjBasicLib 1.0, ProcessObjExtLib 1.0 and SerialCommLib 1.x libraries are removed from the typical installation. These libraries are not available for loading unless enabled via the Custom installation option during the Control Builder installation. If they are needed but were not enabled, then the Control Builder installation must be modified via Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel.

Section 3 Compatibility
This release of Compact Control Builder AC 800M (Version 5.0.2/0) is compatible with the previous Versions 5.0.x/x, 4.1.0/x and 4.0.0/0. Some Hardware Modules may have to be exchanged to new hardware revisions. See Compatible Hardware Modules on page 42, for further information. Listed Hardware Modules must be of stated version/revision or higher. Control Builder and OPC Server must be upgraded to the new version in order to work together. When upgrading, consideration should be given to memory usage in the controller. The firmware size has grown, resulting in less free memory, compared to previous versions (4.x), for user applications. The reduction primarily concerns processor modules with small amounts of free memory (PM851, PM856, and PM860) and to controllers including several types of CEX-modules. Please see section 3 in Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Product Guide (3BSE041586Rxxx) for information on memory requirements. Controller peer to peer communication is possible with other controllers running Version 2.x/x, 3.x/x, 4.x.x/x or 5.x.x/x by means of Access Variables. See Appendix C Upgrade in the manual Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Getting Started, Introduction and Installation (3BSE041584Rxxx) for further information.

This is achieved by starting the communication (or speeding it up if another Item for that variable already exist in a slower group), and then wait until the value is received from the controller. If no value have been received within a certain time limit a callback is issued to the client with the quality Bad, but normally the value should be available before this time limit expires and a call-back with Good quality is issued. The time limit has in some cases been seen to be too short, resulting in that an OPC client occasionally would initially get Bad data when adding new OPC Items. 800xACON-OL-5010-011 This problem has been corrected in OPC Server for AC 800M. Quality is not set to Bad when the client is setting items to active if they already are active. The timeout when waiting for initial update of newly added items is extended. Correction or Fix This problem has been corrected in OPC Server for AC 800M.

Receive Communication Blocks not Valid after Warm Download There was a problem in case the variables used for the communication blocks did not have the retain attribute set. If a change was made in the application and a warm download was performed, then the Valid parameter of the Receive blocks would never be set. To get a working state again the En_C parameter of the Connect block had to be toggled.

An alarm small increment to the Task Execution time burst of 100 alarms (in one scan) adds about 35 for a single scan (approximately 350 s per ms to the execution time, 200 alarms adds 70ms etc. changed alarm) will be added. If an alarm burst occurs, when many alarms are activated simultaneously, this could noticeably increase the Task Execution time. If latency supervision is enabled on the tasks that are executing the Alarm Condition Function Blocks or Control Modules, this could lead to a latency shutdown, if the Task settings are too tight. NOTE: Latency supervision is always enabled for SIL tasks. 800xACON-OL-4100-044 Using GetIntervalTime in Start_Code Might Hang the Soft Controller The function GetIntervalTime has unpredictable behavior when used in Start_Code in a Soft Controller. This might hang the Soft Controller. There are no problems using this function in a real controller. A Start_Code code block does not have any interval time since it only executes once, before the tasks are started (the function will in this case return 0).
If the function shall be used upon application start, put it in an ordinary code block inside an IFstatement triggered with FirstScanAfterApplicationStart. The function will return the requested interval time of the task in 800xACON-OL-4100-008 which the program/module is executing.

Issue Project Documentation from Control Builder When using the menu entries Documentation and Documentation Online in the Control Builder it is important to not generate too many pages. The time needed to generate the documentation in word increases dramatically when the number of pages increases. Sometimes it will take long time before the Cancel command is accepted by the system; if the document that is to be generated is very large. 800xACON-CN-5000-006 Error Message When Aborting Print to File in Difference Report If the menu option File -> Print in the Difference Report is selected and then "Print to file" checkbox is ticked and then if "Cancel" is selected in the "Print to File" dialog you will get an error message. 800xACON-CN-5010-001 Not possible to open projectText that is Make sure that the text that is to be copied into the copied into a POU in the Control Builder Control Builder doesn't contain any illegal may result in that the project is not possible characters. to open again. This only happen if the text contains ASCII characters that are not supported by the Control Builder like ASCII 27 (ESCAPE). 800xACON-CN-5000-082 No workaround exists. Workarounds, Clarifications, and Helpful Hints Instead of one big documentation of for example a large library, divide it into several smaller pieces like data types, function blocks and control modules.

I/O Handling

Issue SattBus on TCP/IP is not enabled in hardware simulated controller In a hardware simulated controller the SattBus TCP/IP communication is disabled. 800xACON-CN-5000-081 Workarounds, Clarifications, and Helpful Hints Make a warm restart (power fail with battery) of the Controller and then the SattBus TCP/IP communication will be enabled.
I/O Handling
DP840 Scaling Frequency Input The frequency input range for DP840 connected to CI801 or CI840 is fixed at 0...20 000 Hz, even though Min and Max scaling properties has been altered. 800xACON-CN-4100-015 DP840 Variable Connections for Pulse Count and Frequency DP840 can be configured for either pulse count or frequency measurement where frequency is the default. If the application variable is not connected to the input channel that corresponds to the configuration, the values are interpreted wrongly, which may lead for example to faulty alarms. Furthermore, pulse count values are not visible in the Hardware editor when no variable is connected to this channel. 800xACON-CN-4100-016 Ensure that the variable connection matches the channel configuration of the DP840. Connect an application variable to the pulse count channel of the DP840 to get the values in the hardware editor. No solution/workaround exists.

PROFIBUS-DP

Issue Single I/O Modules Configured But Redundant IO Units in Project Explorer If a redundant I/O module is configured and downloaded, unit A will be the primary and the hardware tree in Control Builder is displayed correctly. If the I/O module is later configured to be single (nonredundant) while unit A (primary, left) is physically removed, the Control Builder Project Explorer hardware tree may end up in a state indicating that the I/O module is redundant and that unit B is primary. 800xACON-CN-5020-004 Workarounds, Clarifications, and Helpful Hints This is a presentation problem. No Workaround exists.

Deactivating of S900 I/O Channels, in Control Builder, is not Working Properly Deactivating S900 I/O-channels via the hardware configuration in Control Builder is not working correctly. The I/O-channel status supervision could be indicated wrong. 800xACON-CN-4100-017 Diagnostics on PROFIBUS Does Not Work Correct After Reconfiguration In some situations are the diagnostics for PROFIBUS units not correctly displayed in the Control Builder when hardware devices with diagnostics have been removed from the configuration. 800xACON-CN-4100-029 Restart the Control Builder. Remove and reinsert the S900 I/O-module.

IEC 61850
Problem Encountered while Creating CCF File for REF Series IED There is a problem in the SCL component whenever the REF series of IEDs are used for configuring the SCD File. The REF54x (x=1,3,5) inherently does not have an IEC 61850 interface and hence must use the SPAZC-40x SPA/IEC61850 adapter to attain IEC 61850 connectivity. Hence LD0 and LD1 are designated for SPAZC-40x and REF54x devices respectively. 800xACON-CN-5020-013 Import Wizard Progress Bar Showing Wrong Information While importing SCD files using the IEC 61850 Import Wizard, the progress bar is not synchronized with the actual work progress and indicates work completed while the import is still underway. 800xACON-CN-5020-001 The SPAZC-40x IEC 61850 parser implementation requires the Access Point 'LD1' and hence it has to be retained in the CID file that is downloaded into SPA-ZC40x. However, this is not supported by the SCL Component being used by the IEC 61850 Wizard (and also CCT System Eng. tool) and hence has to be removed manually. Similar is the case for REF542plus IED. The above information is only applicable for the mentioned series of IEDs. Ideally, it is recommended that the user does not make hand made changes in the SCD file. Wait until the IEC 61850 Import Wizard pops up a message indicating the completion of import of SCD.

Issue Tracing the IEC 61850 Partner from Control Builder It may be difficult to trace the IEC 61850 partner from Control Builder since the partner IP address is not shown. Workarounds, Clarifications, and Helpful Hints The IP Address of the Partner IED is viewable through the CCF view section of the Import Wizard. 1. For all configured Hardware Trees, open the Import Wizard by right-clicking on the Controllers. 2. In the Import Wizard, select the CCF View tab. 3. The controllers participating in IEC 61850 communication and its associated CI868 will be displayed in the All CCF Files window. 4. When any of the CI868 are selected, the Tree structure of that particular CI868 will be displayed in the Selected CCF File window. 5. Select the partner IED and click on the Access point. 6. The properties are displayed in the Misc window. 800xACON-CN-5020-003 7. The IP address will be displayed.

Issue Problem with IEC 61850 Import using Import Wizard if Import is Aborted If an import of IEC 61850 SCD data to the Control Builder and Aspect Directory is cancelled or interrupted in an uncontrolled way, it may leave an inconsistent hardware tree for the concerned AC 800M Controller. The hardware tree must then be deleted and recreated. 800xACON-CN-5020-011 Slow Performance of IEC 61850 Import Wizard It may take a long time (several minutes) to do an import and create the hardware structure in the Control Builder for large SCD configurations. 800xACON-CN-5020-002 No workaround exists. Wait until the import is completed and the hardware structure is created in Control Builder. Workarounds, Clarifications, and Helpful Hints No workaround exists. Always make sure a current backup of the system is available before making an Import.

Instruction Communication, Protocols and Design (cont.) n/a Error (Page) Change or Correction Maximum limits of the data can be transferred on a Modbus TCP Read/Write function block call. (cont.) Since the read/write multiple parameters of the function blocks accept connections from/to variables with structured data type, it is very important to build the variables in the correct set, especially for the structured bool data type. The client communication framework in the controller has limitation of 844 components of the structured data configured in each multiple parameter. Exceeding this limit, the communication will return error code -6824 cGCHardLimitExceeded. In other words, to achieve Modbus TCP communication to transfer a variable data with structured data type of 2000 bool components is not acceptable. As workaround, the variable data should be constructed as a structured data type of 4 structured data types of 500 bool components.
