General Information
General Information
1.1
Basic Principles
INTERBUS system, the fast, universal sensor/actuator bus system.

The INTERBUS network (or IBS for short) shifts the I/O level from the master PLC or PC system (Host) directly to the machine or system. A serial bus
cable connects the host with the I/O modules installed in the system. This
reduces the amount of wiring involved to a minimum compared to conventional parallel wiring.
Figure 1-1
1.2
Basic principles
Automation with INTERBUS
The constantly growing degree of automation and the more complex requirements of production and process engineering demand more and more
powerful sensors and actuators for the special application. Today, the
INTERBUS system is already supported as an open bus system by more
5219B
1-3
IBS CMD G4
than 600 equipment manufacturers with various products. This enables
you, as the user, to select the most efficient and economical system components for your application.

General Information
1.4
Topology
The INTERBUS network is installed in the system as a compact line following one direction. Starting at the controller board, the bus system connects
the respective PLC or PC system (host) with the INTERBUS devices installed in the periphery (e.g., digital and analog I/O modules).
Figure 1-2
Remote bus
INTERBUS topology
The main line installed through the system is known as the remote bus and
bridges the distances between the distributed sub-stations. The whole remote bus may be up to 12.8 km long (from the controller board to the last
remote bus device). The remote bus branch or local bus may branch off
from the remote bus.
From the remote bus, side lines (branching lines) are possible as local
branching lines. These are known depending on their type as remote
bus, installation remote bus or local bus.
Local bus
The local bus is designed for low-cost, flexible configuration of a distributed

sub-station in cabinets and terminal boxes. A bus terminal module (BK
module) starts the local bus. The local bus cables connect the various local
bus modules to the respective BK module and to each other.
Installation remote
bus
The installation remote bus corresponds in its configuration to the remote

bus but offers the option of carrying a supply voltage for sensors in the bus
cable (hybrid cable structure). The installation remote bus can be configured with CDI, CDO, DIO modules and other installation remote bus de-
5219B

vices. It is suitable for configuring distributed sub-stations with direct connection of the sensors and actuators. This results in a shorter and less
expensive sensor/actuator connection.
1.5
Program Description
IBS CMD G4 is a software which enables interactive and control-independent configuration, operation and diagnostics of all connected devices in an
INTERBUS network..
Figure 1-3
Parameterization of all INTERBUS devices
IBS CMD G4 runs on standard PCs under MS-Windows and can be used
for a number of INTERBUS controller boards.
The connection to a controller board can be made on two communication
paths:
Through a serial interface (RS-232 level). Connect one of the serial ports
of your PC (COM1 to COM4) with the diagnostic interface on the front panel
of the host controller board. The connection is made by a serial connecting
cable.
For PC controller boards through the respective slot (e.g., ISA bus). If there
are several PC controller boards in one PC, the respective board number
of the controller board must be specified. Board numbers from 1 to 8 are
possible.

General Information
If you press the right mouse button on a selected element, a context menu
containing all functions available for this element opens. In addition the entries in the main menu are adapted accordingly to the functions assigned
to the device.
1.5.1
Connecting Cable
You use the serial connecting cable for connecting the serial interface of
your PC with the diagnostic interface of the controller board or the system
coupler.

Configuration
With the aid of these menu commands in IBS CMD G4 you can design a
complete bus configuration for a system and configure all devices connected to INTERBUS. For example, you can new devices or search for devices. It is possible to assign addresses, variables and direct links (other
process data descriptions) to the input/output channels of the bus devices.
You can combine individual bus segments to form groups. It is also possible to check the bus configuration before startup.

General Information
1.7
Monitoring
With the aid of these add-on programs you can monitor and manipulate the
data of all connected devices. The process data of connected devices can
be displayed or output states changed during system operation. The form
of representation of the displayed data depends on the individual device or
on the device description supplied by the manufacturer. It is also possible
to select an optimized form of representation (e.g., numerical value or bar
chart)..

Diagnostics
This operating state offers you fast and effective help. This includes, for example, the recognition of defective bus devices, missing local bus voltage
and errors in the connected sensors and actuators.

Add-on Programs
The IBS CMD G4 software enables integration of add-on programs (monitoring, diagnostics and configuration programs) which are for example, provided by the device manufacturers specially for their devices.
Add-on programs which can be integrated via a standardized interface can
manufacturer-independently parameterize and monitor the connected devices of an INTERBUS network.
Manufacturers of INTERBUS devices can use the fixed interface to develop own programs specially for their devices and link them into IBS CMD
G4.
You can request a description of the standardized interface(s) from the

Checking the Hardware
When installing the INTERBUS system, several regulations must be observed which cannot be checked by the IBS CMD G4 software or are presently not being checked.
Examples:
You may not exceed the maximum distance between two INTERBUS devices. Depending on the device type (remote bus, local bus, installation
local bus, ST...) the maximum distance between two devices may differ.
The wiring of INTERBUS, especially the remote bus cables and the connection of the sensors/actuators, must meet special regulations. These
regulations include:
a large-area shield
shielded, twisted pair sensor lines
a correct PE connection
You will find detailed installation and configuration documentation in the
appropriate manuals. Please consult the latest catalog or contact Phoenix
Contact for ordering information on the documentation.

Project Files
An automation project can be divided as follows:

A project may consist of several PLCs/PCs. Several controller boards may
be installed in one PLC/PC system. There may be several configuration
frames on one controller board which contain INTERBUS devices.
The representation of a project in IBS CMD G4, therefore, always contains
the following basic structure:
Project
PLC/PC
Program
Controller Board
Parameterization Memory
Preprocessing
Configuration Frame

Project Structure
IBS CMD G4 generates the following files for a project:

<PROJECT>.BG4
Contains the actual bus topology, the configuration, the addressing, etc.
<PROJECT>.MES
Diagnostics message file. This only appears if you change to the "Diagnostics" operating state and messages arrive.
<PROJECT>.STC
Diagnostics statistics file. These only appear if you change to the "Diagnostics" operating state.
<PROJECT>.INI
Project initialization file.

All files of a project are stored on the hard disk in a common directory.
Loading and saving is carried out using a Windows file menu. With the
"Save As" dialog box, all files with this project name are copied. If files already exist with the same name in the target directory, an overwrite warning is issued.
Other Files:
There are a number of other file types in addition to the central project files.
*.GP
In these files you can store individual worksheets from the preprocessing.
*.PAX
In these files you can save the parameterization of your INTERBUS

projects. For example, the parameterization contains the startup behavior
of INTERBUS and the bus topology.
*.SVC
The SVC file contains the complete parameterization and can be used in
controller boards without parameterization memory. The SVC file is an
ASCII file.
*.CSV
The CSV file (Comma Separated Value) is used to make the project data
(*.BG4) available in binary format accessible to other programs.
*.PEX
The PEX file is a CSV-format text file that can be re-imported. It contains
all the information in the BG4 file.
*.EPL
You can transfer the INTERBUS structure and the process data assignments to the "EPLAN" program via these files.

Some of the menu items are context menus. The entries in these context
menus depend on the selected element in the representation area. Only
the menu items valid and useful for an element are displayed. For example,
the element "Device" or the element "Project" are assigned a corresponding menu. The context menu can be called up using the right mouse button.

Menu "File..."
Menu "File... Operating State"
Set operating state
The operating state "Configuration (Offline)" offers the possibility of creating and parameterizing a bus configuration without being connected to a
controller board. You can assign addresses, define groups and link process data "Offline".
No data exchange takes place between IBS CMD G4 and the controller
board in this operating state. It is, therefore, possible to configure an
INTERBUS system without additional hardware.
2-6
5219B
Menu Structure
Configuration
(Online)
In this operating state a connection to the controller board is established.

In this operating state you can read in a physically available bus configuration or copy data configured in IBS CMD G4 to the controller board and
have them executed there. In addition you can write to the parameterization memory of a PLC controller board.
Error messages are reported to IBS CMD G4 and displayed.
When changing from the "Configuration (Offline)" to the "Configuration
(Online)" operating state it is checked whether the right controller board
type and an adequate firmware version are available.
Diagnostics
In the "Diagnostics" operating state it is ensured that the displayed INTERBUS configuration of IBS CMD G4 matches the currently activated configuration frame of the controller board. This means the position of the devices and the process data lengths are compared with the bus
configuration loaded in IBS CMD G4. In the "Diagnostics" add-on program
you can evaluate among other things statistics for data transmission and
view and analyze message files.
Monitoring
When changing to the "Monitoring" operating state, not only the device position and the process data lengths but also the process data descriptions
and the process data assignments are checked.
You can visualize the data of an INTERBUS network in the "Monitoring" operating state with various monitor programs.
2.1.2
Menu "File... New"
This command creates a new, empty project.

A project consists of a file set (*.ini, *.bg4, *.stc, *.mes) which can be created in any directory (Default=C:\IBSCMD\PROJECT).
The empty project is assigned the name "NONAME" (i.e., NONAME.INI,
NONAME.BG4, etc.). The file with the extension *.BG4 is the central
project file which you specify when opening a project. If changes to the old
project are not saved, the "Save As..." dialog box is called up.
The new project contains, by way of default, the following elements:
"Project", "PLC/PC", "Program", "Controller Board", "Parameterization
Memory", "Preprocessing", and "Configuration Frame".
You can only create a new project in the "Configuration (Offline)" operating
state.

2.1.3
Menu "File... Open..."
The command opens an existing project. Pay attention to the correct path
specification in order to be able to view the desired project with the ending
"*.BG4" in the selection box. Only one project can be opened at a time.
Figure 2-5
Open project
You have the possibility of loading projects from older IBS CMD versions.
To do this, select the file name extension *.BUS under "File Format". This
is the file format of IBS CMD up to Version 1.x. You can then save these
projects as *.BG4 files with IBS CMD G4.
When you open a project from an earlier version of IBS CMD G4, a text file
will open in the "NOTEPAD.EXE" program. The text file contains instructions on adapting the old BG4 project to the new version of IBS CMD G4.

Conversion instructions (BUS -> BG4)
Note, that the following changes will occur during conversion:

The input of the host controller board type Generation 3 is converted into a
corresponding type of Generation 4, insofar as this is possible. Otherwise
the type "Other" or "Firmware universal" is entered.
Of the process data links, only the byte and bit copy commands are converted.
New process data descriptions may be created in certain cases which are
marked by a number in square brackets [4] after the process data name.
These process data descriptions may be deleted if they have no assignment.
The former diagnostic bit register is now entered under diagnostic status
register. The diagnostic parameter register and the communication register
(IBS S5 DSC/I-T) are also maintained.
2.1.5
Menu "File... Save"
With this command you save a currently open project under the current
name. If the project has the name NONAME or an old project has been
changed "Save As" is called up.
If you have loaded an older project file with the file name extension "*.BUS",
the "Save As" command is also called and the file is saved as "*.BG4".

Link with Description (from "Controller Board" Element)
All bus devices can be linked consecutively with a device description. You
can end the link at any time with the "Cancel" button.
Link with Description (from the "Device" Element)
Only the devices in the current bus segment are linked, starting with the
selected device. For every device in the bus segment you can select
whether you want to link this device.

Yes
Use this command to link the displayed device with a device description
from the database whose ID code and process data channel length match
those of the current device. After this link, the dialog box is called for the
next bus device in the bus segment.
No
Use this command if you do not want to link the displayed device with a device description from the database. After this selection, the dialog box is

Bus Mode
Mode of Operation:
Asynchronous
Running of bus cycles takes place in the shortest possible time for the configuration and is not linked to any further events.
Mode of Operation:
Bus triggered
The application program receives a message (interrupt) as soon as a bus

cycle is ended. In this mode of operation, the application program waits for
the end of the current running INTERBUS cycle.
Mode of Operation:
Program triggered
The controller board receives a message (interrupt) as soon as an application program is ended.
In this mode of operation the controller board waits for the end of the current application program cycle.
Default Cycle Time
The default cycle time must be greater than the minimum cycle time for the
respective bus configuration. Depending on the bus configuration, the
length of the minimum cycle time can vary. If no default cycle time is specified, or the specified default cycle time is too small, the minimum cycle time
is adopted as a default. The minimum cycle time is calculated during an ID
cycle of the controller board.
The entry of a defined cycle time is only effective in the "Asynchronous"
and "Bus-triggered" operating modes.
Automatic
If you want to have the controller board cycle time specified automatically,
mark this option box.
Current Cycle Time
The current cycle time is displayed in this info area. The current cycle time
is determined by the controller board when the bus is running. This display
is not active in the "Configuration (Offline)" operating state.
Start-Up Delay
Enter the amount of time that is to elapse between switching on the power
and starting up the controller board. This delay ensures that all the INTERBUS devices can be initialized before the INTERBUS starts up with the
controller board.
Automatic
When this option is checked, the start-up delay is disabled.

Monitoring Times
Bus Warning Time
2-46
If a fault in the data transmission occurs on the INTERBUS network, the application program receives a warning message after the bus warning time.
The standard value for the bus warning time is 0 ms i.e., no warning messages are generated.

Menu Structure
Warning Off
Even if a bus warning time was defined, you can deactivate this in this option box. If the option box is marked, the bus warning time is not taken into
account.
Bus Timeout
If a fault lasts longer than the bus timeout, the bus cycles are stopped and
the INTERBUS network switched off. The outputs are reset. The standard
value for the bus timeout is 20 times the cycle time but at least 200 ms. If
a default cycle time is specified, the bus timeout is not automatically set to
20 times the value.
Automatic
If you have marked this option box, the bus timeout time is assigned automatically on the basis of existing bus parameters. One of these parameters, for example, is the current cycle time.

Dialog Box "Parameterization Data"
This dialog box only appears when a project from IBS CMD G4 Version
4.16 or earlier is opened. In the projects in these versions of IBS CMD G4
it was possible to assign each action (a row or parameterization sequence)
a control or computer address. Actions were executed via these addresses.
To create new, user-defined parameterization sequences (user functions),
please use the IB function blocks.
To determine and utilize the start, status and result addresses in old BG4
projects, the following dialog box is provided for each line in the parameterization sequence.
Figure 2-58 Parameterization data

The edit boxes with a white background show the syntax of the address as
it was entered in the old BG4 project. The syntax of the converted addresses for the currently selected controller board type is displayed in the
gray display boxes below (in this example, it is S5).
Resident
To be able to start an action via an assigned address, the address assignments have to be transferred to the controller board. Check this option to
be able to execute and monitor the actions via the assigned addresses.
2.4.10.10 Menu "Controller Board... Parameterization... Check"
All parameterization data of the bus configuration is checked. If an error
was found, the affected device and the cause of the error are output in a
message window.
A BK module's current is not checked. If you load a BK module (bus terminal module) with too many local bus devices, it may not have enough power
for all of the devices.

Operating states of the controller board
All commands listed under this menu item can only be executed in the "Extended" range of functions and only after confirming a security prompt.
2.4.11.1
Operating States of the Controller Board
The Generation 4 controller boards know the following operating states:

READY (RDY)
The controller board has run the self-test successfully and is ready to function. However, a configuration frame may exist which is not activated.
You can only change from the "READY" state to the "ACTIVE" state with
"Controller Board, Control, Activate Configuration" if there is a configuration frame on the controller board. If no configuration frame is active, you
can change from "READY" to "ACTIVE" with the "Configuration Frame,
Read Again" command.
ACTIVE (ACTV)
A configuration frame is active on the controller board. ID cycles are transmitted at regular intervals ("BA" LED flashes on the devices).

Menu "Controller Board... Operation... Create Configuration Frame"
This command creates a configuration frame on the controller board that

contains the physically connected bus configuration. This command does
not in any way affect the bus configuration displayed in IBS CMD G4, nor
does it affect the current project. After a configuration frame has been created on the controller board, the bus can be put into operation using "Start
Data Transmission".
2.4.11.4
Menu "Controller Board... Control... Activate Configuration

Frame"
This command checks that IBS CMD G4's configured data of the configuration frame matches the currently connected configuration. If no error is
found, the controller board switches the bus devices of the configuration
frame active. The controller board displays the "ACTIVE" state (BA LEDs
flash).
The controller board must be in the "READY" state to activate a configuration frame. IBS CMD G4 always activates the configuration
frame "1".
2.4.11.5
Menu "Controller Board... Control... Deactivate Configuration Frame"
The active configuration frame can be deactivated with this command if the
controller board is in the "ACTIVE" state. If the configuration frame is not
active or if the controller board is in the "RUN" state, an error message is
output.
By deactivating a configuration frame you have the possibility to configure
different configuration frames in the parameterization phase and activate
and deactivate these for testing.
Before a new configuration frame is activated, the previous one must be
deactivated as only one configuration frame may be active at any time.

board is in the "RUN" state after successfully executing this command.
2.4.11.7
Menu "Controller Board... Control... Stop Data Transmission"
This program command stops the cyclic data traffic on the INTERBUS network. The controller board changes from "RUN" to the "ACTIVE" state.
The moment at which this program command is executed must be timed to
the current system state, as the actuator outputs of the active bus devices
remain in the current state of the stop time. The controller board displays
the "ACTIVE" state.
To ensure that the outputs are reset at the same time as the INTERBUS
system is stopped, use the "Alarm Stop" command.
2.4.11.8
Menu "Controller Board... Control... Alarm Stop"
This program command stops the cyclic data traffic on the INTERBUS network. The outputs of all bus devices are reset. The command is executed
immediately after completion of the current data cycle. The controller board
changes from "RUN" to the "READY" state.
2.4.11.9
Menu "Controller Board... Control... Reset Controller"
This program command resets the controller board and thus the bus device
outputs. Then the controller board runs its self-test until it reaches the
"READY" state. If a parameterization memory with a valid and bootable parameterization exists, this parameterization is loaded and executed.
Note that the outputs are also reset by resetting the controller board. This
may lead to dangerous situations depending on which functions you have
assigned to these outputs.

Macro
If you mark a service primitive from the macro, a table of parameters is read
in from a provided database. 'According to the selected primitive the respective parameter table is displayed. As soon as you have marked a service primitive and the parameter table was displayed, the service primitive
is marked with "OK" to indicate that it is selected. This gives you an overview which of the service primitives you have already selected.
Parameters
Depending on whether you define an user function or an event, you must

supply different service primitives with parameters (REQUEST / RESPONSE) or assign the incoming parameters to addresses (INDICATION
/ CONFIRMATION).
Request (OUT)
You can edit this parameter table when you define a REQUEST to a service provider.

Data Type
The data types BYTE, WORD, BYTE_ARRAY and WORD_ARRAY are

available. If you use one of the arrays, you can only use addresses (ADDR)
as a value type. The length of the arrays is entered in the "Length" column.
A WORD_ARRAY of length n allocates n*16 bits and starts at the address
entered under "Value".
Value Type
CONST (Constant), ADDR (Address) and IGN (Ignore) are available as

value types.
CONST
With the "CONST" value type you assign the parameter a constant value.
You enter this constant value in the "Value" column. The "CONST" value
type is only valid for the REQUEST and RESPONSE service primitives.
ADDR
With the "ADDR" value type you refer to an address. You enter this PLC or
PC address in the "Value" column and thus refer to the actual value of the
parameter. This address is read from with the REQUEST and RESPONSE
service primitives. The addresses are written to with the CONFIRMATION
and INDICATION service primitives.

Menu Structure
IGN
With the "IGN" value type you ignore the value of the parameter. The parameter is ignored in the service primitives CONFIRMATION and INDICATION, the parameter is not transferred to the service provider in the REQUEST and RESPONSE service primitives.
Length
Enter the length of the array for WORD_ARRAY and BYTE_ARRAY data
types in this column. Enter the value in words or bytes, as appropriate for
the arrays data type.
Description Positive /
Description Negative
A description of the parameter is displayed in these columns. You can edit

this description as you wish. To display CONFIRMATIONS the description
was divided into positive and negative descriptions. If a service could not
be executed correctly, the service provider transfers a negative confirmation. Positive confirmation is given if the service is executed properly. Since
the parameter contents differ from each other, these are described in two
columns.

Menu "Controller Board... Process Data"
Use the process data dialog box to create process data descriptions of your
INTERBUS devices according to your needs, and map them to addresses,
variables or other process data descriptions.
The standard process data description, which exists after inserting a device, can be divided into individual components by creating other process
data descriptions to meet your exact process requirements (e.g., a channel
of an AI device in a process data description).
In the "Process Data" dialog box you can assign the following designations
to the process data descriptions of the INTERBUS devices:
5219B
2-101
IBS CMD G4
Addresses of the PLC or the PC in the respective address format
(e.g., P20 for S5 or 20 for PCs).
Direct links to other process data descriptions.
Input data is copied to output data.
Variables used in the preprocessing.
If you open the process data dialog box from the "Controller Board" selection, you will see the process data descriptions of all of the devices in the
current INTERBUS project. If you open the "Process Data" dialog box from
a device, you will only see the process data descriptions of that device.

MA
If you want to assign several addresses or variables to a process data description, you have to activate the option box "MA" = Multiple Assignment.
If you mark the "MA" box of a standard process data description, all process data descriptions derived from this are capable of multiple assignments.
Assignments
You specify the assignments in this column. These are variables, addresses or other process data descriptions. Use the context menu for selecting the assignments or enter the assignment directly.
Example:
Create a Process data description for the third channel of a 4-channel AI
device.
The device has a process data length of 4 * 16 bits = 8 bytes = 4 words.
A channel has a length of 16 bits = 1 word. The third channel begins at byte
4 because channel 1 and 2 occupy the bytes 0 to 3 (2 words). Within this
word the process data description begins with bit 0 because the process
data description is > 8 bits.
Figure 2-83 Example of a process data description

The number specifications for length, byte and bit must be within the maximum values of the greatest possible process data item. For example, a
16-bit device may not have an entry > 2 in the "Bytes" column.
Mark a process data description of the device's process data description
you want to copy. You can copy this process data description with the
<Ins> key. Then you only need to change the "Process Data Name",
"Length", "Byte" and "Bit" input areas to meet your requirements.

Data Consistency
In order to ensure that the INTERBUS process data which is read out of the
controller board memory in one program or PLC cycle, originate from one
INTERBUS cycle, you can create consistency areas. Consistency areas
can also be used to ensure that certain data from the application program
is written in one INTERBUS cycle.
Without the consistency areas, related data may be read in from different
INTERBUS cycles in an application program cycle in asynchronous mode
of operation
Figure 2-94 Data consistency

You can create consistency areas of 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits. To do this, enter
a colon followed by the value of the consistency area after the program or
PLC address in the "Assignments" column of the "Process Data" dialog
box.
5219B
2-115
IBS CMD G4
Example:
An analog value of 16 bytes in length should be read in consistently.
After every INTERBUS cycle, all input process data is updated in the controller board memory. The analog word is in the memory after the first
INTERBUS cycle. Shortly after the first INTERBUS cycle the application
program has received the access rights to the memory and reads the first
byte of the analog word. Now INTERBUS receives the access rights again
and updates both bytes of the analog word. If the application program now
reads the second byte of the analog value, both bytes originate from two
different INTERBUS cycles. The analog value may, however, have
changed between both cycles so that it cannot be established without consistency that the data read from the controller board memory is the correct
analog value.
With consistency, the second byte will not be overwritten until it is picked
up by the application program.
Enter "P20:16" for a consistency area of 16 bits from address P20. This
guarantees that the 16 bit analog values from address P20 which are read
in by the application program originate from an INTERBUS cycle.

Menu "Parameterization Memory... Save As ASCII... INTERBUS Data (*.SVC)"
This command allows you to save the data in the open project in an ASCII
file (*.SVC). The SVC file contains the entire parameterization and is required for controller boards without a parameterization memory (IBS PC
ISA SC/I-T, for example).
The information contained in the SVC file is identical to the parameterization data transferred to the controller boards (e.g. IBS S5 DSC/I-T) parameterization memory when the parameterization is saved
IB Loader
The IB Loader executes the INTERBUS systems parameterization process by interpreting an ASCII file (the SVC file) and transferring the services and parameters stored in it to the controller board. Data is transferred
via a serial port or the PCs data bus.
SVC File Structure
The SVC file contains firmware/PCP services and their parameters, separated by the entry "#CMD#". When booting from the parameterization
memory, the commands (services) executed are the same as those transferred from the SVC file when booting using the IB Loader.

Running the IB Loader

The IB Loader is an EXE file that will run in DOS, WIN 3.1x and WIN NT.
The IB Loader is also available as a DLL for WINDOWS (16 and 32 Bit).
This DLL (Dynamic Link Library) can be run from your application program,
for example. When the IB Loader is run, you need to transfer certain parameters and the name of the SVC file to it.
By entering the IB Loader in AUTOEXEC.BAT or adding it to the AUTOSTART group, the INTERBUS will be parameterized each time the host
computer boots.
Use:
IBLOADER IBCOM1 C:\TEST.SVC

to transfer the file "TEST.SVC" to the controller board via the serial port
(COM1).
Additional run parameters are described in the IB Loader documentation.

Menu "Parameterization Memory... Description"
The parameterization memory is used for resident storage of INTERBUS

parameterization, program and diagnostic data. The parameterization
memory may be structured differently - depending on the controller board.
The product line ranges from pluggable ICs through plug-in boards up to
permanently installed ICs. All parameterization memories are flash
EPROMs which can be written to and read by IBS CMD G4.
In this dialog box you write the parameterization memory. The "Name" is
also displayed in the representation area. In addition there is an input area
for remarks and one for the name of the author of the parameterization
memory contents.

Menu "Parameterization Memory... Read"
In addition to the parameterization data the entire project can also be

stored in the parameterization memory. The parameterization data is required by the controller board to start INTERBUS according to your parameterization. The project files (*.BG4, *.INI) can be restored from the parameterization memory by IBS CMD G4.
If you have saved your project in the parameterization memory of the controller board with restorability, this command reads out the project with the
files *.BG4, *.INI and, if available, *.ZWT.
Figure 2-106 Read parameterization memory

The entries displayed in the info area "Created by:", "Last update by:" and
"Comment:" refer to the element "Project". The data entered there under
"Description" is displayed in this dialog box.
Not all controller boards have a parameterization memory. For PC controller boards with no parameterization memory, the parameterization can be
stored as an ASCII file on the PC drives.

functions, events, process data descriptions with their assignments are
transferred to the controller board.
The parameterization data can be booted directly from the parameterization memory when starting up the controller board.
In addition to the parameterization data, the entire project (*.BG4, *.INI,
etc.) can be saved in the parameterization memory. Whether you want to
save the entire project in the parameterization memory and thus ensure the
restorability of the project in IBS CMD G4 is decided in the following dialog
box.

IBS CMD G4
Group Number
You can combine individual bus segments in groups. It is also possible to

define alternative groups. The group number is thus composed of: [group]
- [alternative].
Station Name
Here you can describe the device's station name (e.g., Hall 4 Switch Cabinet 2).
Service Info
You can assign every INTERBUS device a Service Info in order to identify
them clearly and quickly in the event of a malfunction. The Service Info has
a maximum 12 characters. The service information of the individual INTERBUS devices are saved in the configuration frame and are, therefore, available in system operation on the controller board. The service information
of the devices causing the malfunction can be displayed on the (hardware
or software) LCD. To edit the service information to suit your requirements,
the "Assign Individually" option in the "Service Info" select box must be set.
"Service Info" select

box
In this select box you can select the device data that is to be used as service information. You can choose "Station Name" in the select box, for example, if you want to use the first twelve characters in the station name for
the Service Info. The station name is then copied automatically into the
"Service-Info" field.

Groups and Alternatives
You can combine individual devices in groups in order to switch these on

and off together. A group may also include devices which do not follow consecutively. If you switch off a group, all the devices in this group and the
devices dependent upon these devices (e.g., the corresponding local bus
branch) are switched off.
2-159
IBS CMD G4
All devices within a local bus segment (except the BK module) must have
the same group number.
Figure 2-130 Groups

You can switch a group on and off with the firmware service
0713hex Control_Active_Configuration_Request
The device number is then transferred to the firmware service.
If the device to be switched off is assigned to a group, this group is switched
off completely. When you switch off a BK module (bus terminal module),
you always switch off all the following remote bus devices including the
local bus on the BK module.
The group number consists of group and alternative with the syntax:
GROUP - ALTERNATIVE.
Group
The "Group" parameter assigns a device or a local bus segment to a group.
Alternative
An alternative is a self-contained part of the bus configuration which can be

activated at a certain position alternatively to the rest of the bus configuration.
You can define alternative bus segments within a group. One of the defined
alternatives can then be connected depending on requirements.

Process Data
Description
Menu "Device... Process Data"
A process data description describes the process data of a device with:

Name,
Data direction,
Data length,
and the assigned destinations (addresses, variables, direct links)
Every process data description is represented by one line in the process
data dialog box. For example, you can create one process data description
for a single bit of a digital device or a channel of an analog device. This
gives you the possibility of assigning process data specifically to addresses
or linking them with each other.
If you open the process data dialog box from the "Controller Board" element, you will see the process data descriptions of all devices in the current
INTERBUS project. If you open the "Process Data" dialog box from a device, you only see the process data descriptions of that device.

Menu "Options... Reset CRs"
With this command you establish the standard counting order for the communication references (CR) for all PCP-capable devices. This order determines that the first PCP node in the bus configuration (seen from the controller board) is assigned CR=2 (the 2nd PCP node is assigned CR=3,
etc.).
Basically you can determine the counting order yourself as long as one
PCP node is assigned CR=2 and all following CRs are assigned consistently, i.e., without gaps (until every PCP node has a CR). The CR of a device is assigned in the device description. The references in the application
program are assigned to the devices, i.e., memory addresses, accordingly.
If you suspect or determine that the manual CR assignment is inconsistent
and manual checking appears too complex, use this command to quickly
and reliably assign the CRs automatically in the way described above.
Your application program must be changed accordingly!

3.1 General Information
The "Diagnostics" mode offers you fast and effective help during startup,
error localization and elimination in the system. Defective bus devices,
defective connections or errors in the sensors and actuators can then be
processed and eliminated with the easy-to-use editing features of
IBS CMD G4.
A special feature of this program is the statistical error evaluation running

in the background, which gives you information on the error resistance of
the system (e.g., to electromagnetic interference) because messages
(e.g., module errors) and transmission errors are recorded automatically.
Messages and statistic data are only recorded if there is a connection to
the controller board and IBS CMD G4 is in the "Diagnostics" operating
state.

Messages are controller board messages to IBS CMD G4. Messages can
only be received during an online session, i.e., not in "Configuration
(Offline)" mode. For example, a message is sent by the controller board in
case of a reconfiguration request or in the event of an error.
An error is an event which disturbs the normal bus operation. An error need
not necessarily lead to a bus stoppage.
Example: The failure of a peripheral power supply leads to an error but not
to a bus stoppage..

Overview
The number of INTERBUS cycles is displayed here in six info areas.
At the top you see the total number of cycle types and below the number
of defective cycles.
The types of cycle are next to each other:
Transmission Cycles:
Transmission cycles = identification cycles + data cycles.

Data Cycles :
Process data, parameter data and some data for handling the protocol are
transmitted in the data cycles. In one data cycle, both, the data of the
devices is transmitted to the controller board (input data), and the data of
the controller board to the devices (output data).
Transmission Quality
Here the ratio of defective to error-free cycles is evaluated by a defined

available. The two columns on the right display the current value in analog
form. To set the output values, use the slide bars on the right, beside the
graphic.
The "Value A" and "Value B" select boxes provide the available process
data descriptions. The corresponding addresses are displayed in the
relevant field - the value and unit are displayed below the field. You can
enter a new value in the value field that does not exceed the upper limit set
in the "Settings..." dialog box. During operation, you can change the
selected value by clicking a slide bar and using the cursor keys or moving

In the "DRIVECOM Monitor Settings" dialog box, you can configure how
information is displayed in "Analog Display". This dialog box can be
accessed by pressing "F3" on your keyboard, via "Settings" on the control
menu or by clicking the "Settings" button.
Control Word
You can use this to selectively set control bits. The "control words" process
data address is displayed at top right. Bits 4, 5 and 6 are dependent on the
operating mode and cannot be named. The functions of bits 11 through 15,
on the other hand, depend on the DRIVECOM device used and can be
assigned names in the "DRIVECOM Monitor Settings" dialog box.
The button in front of each control bit is used to set or reset the bit.
The button settings will only become active when you click the "Write" or
"Start-up" button or when you click a button in the "Device Control" dialog
box.
Status Word
The devices individual status bits are displayed here. Depending on the
device, the status bits have a name which defines their meaning. Besides
these bits, the address of the "status word" is displayed at top right. The
value and background color in the "Device Status" field corresponds to the
current status set in "Device Control". In the event of an error, the field
below will display the error code and a description on a red background.
The errors codes and descriptions are covered in the DRIVECOM profile.
Buttons
Start-up
This button triggers the DRIVECOM devices automatic start-up sequence

(of an engine, for example). During this process, the states in the "Device
Control" dialog box are run through automatically. The "Device Status" field
displays these in plain English at the same time. The bits in the "Status
Word" field also change accordingly.
Shutdown
This sets the DRIVECOM device to "READY" mode. All operations are
halted and you can start up again.
Reset Failure
The "Reset Failure" button acknowledges any errors that have occurred
and prepares the device for a restart.
Write
This button writes the set combination of bits to the "Control Word" or
transfers a new value from "Value A" or "Value B".
Undo
Restores the status that applied before a bit was changed in the "Control
Word" or a change was made in the "A Value"/"B Value" fields.

Dialog Box "Device Control (DRIVECOM-Monitor)"
You can use this dialog box to control DRIVECOM devices. The "state
machine" of a DRIVECOM system based on the DRIVECOM "device
control" is displayed.
Figure 4-5
Device control
The current status is highlighted in color, as are the possible "state

transitions".
Each of the available buttons represents a different state transition. These
allow you to gradually bring a DRIVECOM device into operation. The
labeled device control buttons are used to distinguish between the control
commands; the numbered buttons are always assigned to the possible
transitions. The "control word" in the area at top right indicates the last
active changeover as a hexadecimal value. The "status word" below
reflects the current status.
Due to internal processing of the bits for control and status word, the
hexadecimal display may change. The values can be checked in binary
format.

Data Direction
This field indicates whether the process data item is an input or output one.
Display Area
The process data display area is divided up into rows and columns. Rows
stand for Bytes while columns represent bits. The size of the monitor is
based on the default process data length of the device for which the
monitor has been opened. Consequently, all the process data fields are
always displayed. Process data that lie within the selected process data
description are displayed in gray when the bit is not set, and in yellow when
the bit is set. Process data beyond the selected process data description is
displayed in black.

Device #:
The devices logical device number is displayed here. The sequence in

which the devices are displayed in the dialog box corresponds to the logical
sequence in the bus configuration.
ID Code, Station
Name, Device Name
The devices "ID-Code", "Station Name" and "Device Name" data are
displayed in these columns.
Activated
The device is taken into account in the configuration frame and transfers
data to the controller board. A deactivated device is jumpered logically and
is physically integrated in the bus configuration. You can activate and
deactivate a device as you require. Doing so will activate and deactivate all
of its local bus devices accordingly.
Jumpered
Check this option to exclude the device in the configuration frame. A bus
configuration with jumpered devices can only be set back into full operation
after the device has been physically removed. When a device is jumpered,
all the local bus devices that depend on it are deactivated and can only be
reactivated after the jumpered device has been removed.

The number of devices you have selected is displayed here.
Execute / (Undo)
After selecting the required devices and specifying the device states using
the option boxes, pressing this button will apply the selection. You can
restore the state that last applied by pressing the "Undo" button as long as
you do not select another device entry in the meantime or change options.
Possible device states
Activated:
Yes
Jumpered: Yes
This state is not possible. An active device can not be jumpered.

Activated:
Yes
Jumpered: No
The device is actively integrated in the bus configuration and transfers its
data to the controller board.
Activated:
No
Jumpered: Yes
The device is not activated and does not transfer data to the controller
board. The device has been removed from the configuration frame and has
consequently been deactivated physically. If a local bus device is set to this
state, all the other devices in the local bus winding automatically assume
the state "Activate:No". The deactivated (not jumpered) devices can only
be reactivated after the jumpered device has been physically removed.
Activated:
No
Jumpered: No
The device and all its local bus devices are logically deactivated. As long
as the devices are not jumpered, you can activate and deactivate devices
as you wish without having to make changes to the bus configuration.

General Information
You have the possibility of linking INTERBUS process data using the "Preprocessing" (process data preprocessing) tool. For this, process data is
available via variable names in this add-on program. These variables can
be interlinked by numerous logic blocks. The output variables are then reassigned to a process data item or several process data.
The add-on "Preprocessing" generates a ZWT-file from the worksheets
created there. The data stored in this file is transferred by IBS CMD G4 to
the controller board (when writing the configuration) together with bus configuration, addressing, etc.
Figure 5-1
5219B
Overview
5-5
IBS CMD G4
Example:
For this example, a simple link of four input bits (A,B,C,D), three function
blocks (2* AND, 1*OR) and one output bit is used.
The four input bits may come from a device with digital inputs for example.
The output bit linked through these four input bits could then be connected
to a device with digital outputs.
Figure 5-2
Simple programming example
The bus cycle time depends on the extent of functions programmed in the
"Preprocessing" add-on. The programmed functions are executed between two INTERBUS cycles. After programming check the bus cycle time
and, if required, optimize your programmed functions or shift some of them
to your application program.

Blocks G3 Functions
Generally process data from the PLC or computer (HOST_IN) and to the
bus (BUS_OUT) cannot be influenced in a buffered instance. To provide
this possibility of additional influence, the reset functions were formerly developed as part of the firmware (Generation 3) and are now available as
function blocks in "Preprocessing" add-on program.
Function:
The bit at HOST_IN is passed directly to BUS_OUT. This is the normal connection between the host system and the INTERBUS system. You can influence this direct connection with the RESET input because the RESET
input has a higher priority than HOST_IN.
The HOST_IN bit is only connected through again via a rising edge at
BUS_OUT.
This block exists respectively for a rising edge (Reset_OUT_IN01 and
Reset_OUT_IN01_SW) and a falling edge (Reset_OUT_IN10 and
Reset_OUT_IN10_SW) of the RESET input.

Bus Representation in the Event of an

Error
This yellow symbol indicates failure messages of a device and points to the
device that generated the message.
This red symbol indicates that an error was found in the configuration frame
check and/or the parameterization. The detected device has, for example,
a different ID code or a different process data channel length. The symbol
is placed directly on the device causing the fault.
This red symbol signals an error which has led to the bus being switched
off. If the fault is localized, the bus terminal of the bus segment affected is
covered with this symbol. In addition, the bus line to the incoming interface
of the bus terminal is displayed in a different color. Since the bus can no
longer run from this position, all subsequent devices are represented as
inactive (device icon grayed out and text in italics).
This symbol indicates that IBS CMD G4 cannot assign a device icon from
the database to the read in device.
.
This representation indicates that the
device is inactive. If a specific device is
