 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

This manual describes details specific to the 205 BASIC CoProcessor. This document
should be used to supplement the FACTS Extended BASIC User's Reference (FA-
BASIC-M) when programming the FACTS Engineering 205 CoProcessor modules.

205 CoProcessor modules are installed in Slot 1 to 7 of a D2-240 or D2-250 CPU base.
Slot 0 (1st IO slot beside CPU) cannot be used. The D2-230 CPU is not supported.

The CoProcessor module communicates to the DL205 PLC CPU using the S205_,
BMOVE, and SHARED instructions. A high speed dual port RAM interface, across the
parallel bus of the DL205 backplane, is used for CoProcessor to PLC and PLC to
CoProcessor communications. Up to 128 bytes can be transferred by the CoProcessor
in one PLC scan using the BMOVE instruction. No PLC ladder logic is required for
CoProcessor to PLC or PLC to CoProcessor communications. The CoProcessor does
not take any X's or Y's from the DL205 PLC CPU's memory map.

The DL205 PLC ladder logic can generate an interrupt in the CoProcessor with the RX
or WX ladder instructions and the ONPLC CoProcessor statement. In addition to the
128 bytes that can be transferred using the BMOVE instruction, 128 bytes can be
transferred using an RX or WX triggered ONPLC interrupt.

The CoProcessor module communicates to external devices using the built in serial
port(s)

1.1
DL205 CPU SYNCHRONIZATION

Upon application of power the 205 CoProcessor resets and establishes communication
with the DL205 PLC CPU. Next the operating mode saved by the last AUTOSTART
command is executed. Please see AUTOSTART in the FACTS Extended BASIC
User's Reference for additional information.

Unlike the 305 I/O BASIC Modules, the CoProcessor does not reset when the DL205
PLC CPU is reset. If desired, the current state of the DL205 PLC CPU may be
determined by examining Special Purpose relays SP11-20. See Chapter 2 (205
CoProcessor Statements) for a description of the S205_ statement. See the DL205
User's Manual for a description of DL205 PLC CPU special relays.

Example 10 IF S205_SP(11) THEN PRINT "Forced running state"

20 IF S205_SP(12) THEN PRINT "TERM RUN state"
30 IF S205_SP(13) THEN PRINT "TEST RUN state"
40 IF S205_SP(15) THEN PRINT "TEST PGM state"
50 IF S205_SP(16) THEN PRINT "TERM PGM state"
60 IF S205_SP(17) THEN PRINT "Forced STOP state"
70 IF S205_SP(20) THEN PRINT "PGM Mode"

Often a DL205 CPU control relay or stage status is used as a permissive in the BASIC
program. Control relays and stage status bits are used to communicate program status
information to the CoProcessor. For example, a control relay may be used to signal the
start of a shift report or to simply indicate that the DL205 CPU is running.

Example 10 IF S205_C(0) THEN PRINT "CR 0 Energized"

10 IF S205_SG(10) THEN PRINT "Stage 10 is active"

 CHAPTER 2: 205 COPROCESSOR STATEMENTS

BMOVE

Function Directly access a block of DL205 CPU memory

Syntax BMOVE direction, starting operand(number), ending operand(number)

BMOVE direction, starting operand(number), K (number of bytes)

See Also SHARED, ONPLC, and S205_

Usage Up to 128 bytes of DL205 memory may be read or written in one scan
using BMOVE. Memory in the DL205 CPU is referenced using any one of
11 different operands specified with an octal address number.

Block move reads begin in the ABM at shared memory location

SHARED(0) and in the DL205 CPU at starting operand(number). Block
move writes begin in the ABM at shared memory location SHARED(128)
and in the DL205 CPU at starting operand(number). The block move
continues through consecutive memory addresses up to and including
ending operand(number). Alternately, the number of bytes to transfer
may be specified as an expression in parenthesis following "K". If number
of bytes is 0 then 128 bytes will be copied.

Use either a "R" or "W" for direction to specify a DL205 memory Read or
Write. "R" will read DL205 CPU memory and copy to SHARED memory.
"W" will read SHARED memory and copy to DL205 CPU memory.

If starting operand or ending operand is a BIT data type, the entire

V-Memory address containing the operand is used.

10 BMOVE R, X(0), X(477)

Advanced If no operand is specified then address number is the hexadecimal

representation of the Octal V-Memory address plus one (80H = Octal
V-Memory 177). BMOVE R, VH(2000), K(10) is the same as BMOVE R,
(401H), K(10).

This feature simplifies FOR-NEXT loops and other types of "calculated"

PLC memory accesses.

50 IF SHARED(ADDR)<>K THEN 70
60 PRINT1 "Matched at V-Memory hex address = ",
62 PRINT1 HEX$(INDEX+ADDR-1)
70 NEXT ADDR
80 NEXT INDEX

2.3
SHARED

Function Read or write memory shared with the DL205

Syntax SHARED (address, portion) = expression

variable = SHARED (address, portion)

Usage SHARED (shared memory) is used in conjunction with ONPLC interrupt

and BMOVE (block move) statements to access the DL205.

The SHARED operator retrieves the value at the shared memory address
and assigns it to the variable.

The SHARED statement stores the value of expression at the shared

memory address.

address is an expression from 0 to 387, which selects two bytes of shared

memory. SHARED retrieves or assigns an integer value (0 to 65535) at
address.

portion is optional and is used to specify a bit position, a nibble (group of

4 bits), a byte (group of 8 bits), or a BCD word.

Use "B(n)" to specify one of 16 bit positions, where n = 0-15.

Use "N(n)" to specify one of four nibbles, where n = 0-3.

Use "H" to specify the high byte or use "L" to specify the low byte.

Use "B" to specify a word hexadecimal to BCD conversion.

The first 128 bytes of shared memory, SHARED(0) to SHARED(127), are

used by the BMOVE statement when reading data from the PLC. The
second 128 bytes of shared memory, SHARED(128) to SHARED(255),
are used by the BMOVE statement when writing data to the PLC.

The next 128 bytes of shared memory, SHARED(256) to SHARED(383),

are used in conjunction with the ONPLC statement. This block of memory
is accessed by the DL205 using the WX and RX instructions. The last 4
bytes of shared memory, SHARED(384) to SHARED(387), are control
bytes for WX and RX (see ONPLC for a complete description).

40 BMOVE R, VH(2000), K(2)
50 PRINT1 "BCD value at V-Memory 2000 =",
52 PRINT1 HEX$(SHARED(0))

ONPLC

Function Ladder logic based interrupt of normal BASIC program flow

Syntax ONPLC line number

See Also BMOVE, SHARED, and S205_

Usage ONPLC enables interruption of normal BASIC program flow in response

to requests made by the DL205 CPU.

ONPLC specifies the beginning line number where program execution will
continue when the interrupt occurs. The interrupt is delayed until the
current BASIC statement is completed (Execution begins immediately if
the current statement is IDLE or DELAY).

After a RETI statement is executed, execution resumes with the statement

following the last statement executed before the interrupt occurred.

The ONPLC statement will enable only a single BASIC program interrupt
to occur. Future ONPLC interrupts are disabled until another ONPLC
statement is executed. Normally another ONPLC statement is included in
the interrupt subroutine.

An ONPLC statement with a line number of 0 will disable the ONPLC

interrupt.

The DL205 CPU passes data to the ABM and causes an ONPLC interrupt
to occur using a Write Data To Network (WX) instruction. Up to 128
bytes of data may be transferred with one WX instruction. The data is
transferred to the CoProcessor dual port locations SHARED(256) to
SHARED(383). The number of bytes written is stored in SHARED(385).

Executing a DL205 RX or WX instruction will turn ON the Special Purpose

Data Communication BUSY relay associated with the ABM's slot. A
BASIC RETI statement resets the BUSY Relay. If a BASIC RETI
statement is not executed within 16 seconds following a DL205 WX
instruction then a Special Purpose Data Communication ERROR Relay
associated with the ABM's slot is energized (see table on the next page).

2.7
 Special Purpose (SP) Data Communications Relays
Slot 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
BUSY N/A 122 124 126 130 132 134 136
ERROR N/A 123 125 127 131 133 135 137

Example Write V-Memory to the ABM using WX

The high byte of the first load (LD) in the following example, holds the
ABM's base number (0) and the slot number (0-7). The low byte contains
a two digit BCD code from 1 to 90 which gets written to the ABM at
SHARED(384). This value may be used as required in the application
program and does not effect the execution of the WX instruction. The
value loaded will be in the second stack register when the WX instruction
executes.

The first stack register holds the BCD number of bytes to write to the
ABM. This is specified by the second LD in the following example. The
byte count gets stored in the ABM at SHARED(385).

The accumulator holds the octal V-Memory source address of the data in
the DL205. This is specified by the LDA instruction in the following
example. Up to 128 bytes or 64 consecutive V-Memory locations may be
moved to the ABM with one WX instruction. The data is stored in the
ABM beginning at SHARED(256).

The address used with the WX instruction is arbitrary. This address is

converted from octal to hexadecimal and is stored in the ABM, low byte
first, in SHARED(386) and SHARED(387).

In the ladder logic example following, an arbitrary coil, C0 comes ON to

initiate an ONPLC interrupt. SP126 is used to prevent another WX from

LD K0310 directs the WX to the ABM in CPU base (base 0) of slot 3 and

Function Directly access DL205 CPU memory

Syntax S205_operand(number) = expression

variable = S205_operand(number)

Shorthand S.

See Also BMOVE, SHARED, and ONPLC

Usage DL205 memory may be accessed directly each scan using any one of 12
different operands specified with an octal address number.

The S205_ statement moves the value of expression into the DL205
memory address specified by operand(number). If the memory address is
written to by the DL205 CPU program, the S205_ statement will be
overridden.

The S205_ operator copies the value from the DL205 memory address
specified by operand(number) into a numeric variable.

S205_ values will be BCD, HEXadecimal, or BIT data types depending on

the operand used. Discrete operands such as I/O points and control
relays operate on bits and return logical values. Timer and counter
accumulated values are in BCD.

The table below specifies the octal numbering and data types for each of
the S205_ operands (typical VB and VH operand usage is shown).

F2-CP128 DESCRIPTION

This DL205 family compatible CoProcessor Module features 128K of non-volatile

memory, three serial ports, real-time battery backed calendar clock, floating point math,
and the FACTS Extended BASIC interpreter.

128K bytes of nonvolatile memory allows multiple program storage and execution,
DL205 register expansion, and retentive data storage and retrieval.

Port 1 is a high performance 115.2K baud maximum fully configurable RS-232 or

RS-422/485 serial interface. Port 2 is a 57.6K baud maximum fully configurable
RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interface. Port 3 is a 9600 baud maximum fully
configurable RS-232 serial interface. All three ports have 255 character type-a-head
input buffers for simultaneous communication with three or more external devices.

The real-time battery-backed calendar clock maintains time and date when power
outages occur. Time based BASIC interrupts can be programmed to .010 of a second.

Floating point math solves complex formulas to 8 significant digits.

The FACTS Extended BASIC interpreter has many features and statements that
simplify control oriented programming.

PORT 2

The communication interface type for port 2 is selected by placing a jumper on one of
the port 2 options, either RS422/485 or RS232. The RS232 selection is the default
factory setting.

PORT 1

The communication interface type for port 1 is selected by placing a jumper on one of
the port 1 options, either RS422/485 or RS232. The RS232 selection is the default
factory setting.

CLR ALL

The CLR ALL jumper specifies the AUTOSTART mode that the module will use at
reset. Placing the jumper on both posts disables AUTOSTART and waits for a space
bar character in port 1. Placing the jumper on one post allows the module to use the
last stored AUTOSTART parameters (this is the default factory setting).

CAUTION: Installing the CLR ALL jumper will erase program 0, all stored variables,
cancel a COMMAND@2, remove LOCKOUT, and clear stored
AUTOSTART information.

 APPENDIX C: RS232 AND 422/485 WIRING DIAGRAMS

RS-232 STANDARD

RS-232-C (RS-232) is an interface standard from the Electronic Industries Association

(EIA). The standard names and defines 20 communication signals, assigned to
separate pins in a 25-pin connector. The five unassigned pins may carry nonstandard
signals required by any individual system.

Each signal is transmitted as a positive or negative electric current between 3 and 15

volts (usually 12 volts). The signal assigned to each pin flows in one direction only.
Signals output, for example, from a computer must input to a terminal, and vice versa.

RS-232 signals travel over a serial interface cable that may have up to 25 wires. Since
most signals are not required for simple communication, cables have as few as 2 or 3
wires. As shown in the following cabling diagrams, jumpers often are installed at one or
both of the connectors to ensure that flow control signals are satisfied.

The signals flow between two types of interface ports, data communication equipment
(DCE) and data terminal equipment (DTE). The pin names are the same for both DCE
and DTE equipment, however, the direction of signal flow is reversed.

IDENTIFYING A COMMUNICATION PORT AS DCE OR DTE

With an unknown RS-232 port powered, measure the dc voltage between pin-2 and
ground (pin-7) and pin-3 and ground. If the most negative pin is pin-2 then the port is
DTE. If the most negative pin is pin-3 then the port is DCE. Improper connection of
pins 2 and 3 will not damage the interface.

RS-232 WITH HARDWARE HANDSHAKE

6.3
RS-422/485 STANDARD

The RS-485 transceivers on CoProcessor's so equipped are compatible with both

RS-422 and RS-485 signals.

RS-422 uses high current differential outputs and is specified to 4000 feet at 10
Megabaud. Lower speed communications, such as 19.2K baud, may use substantially
longer cables.

RS-485 is an upgraded version of EIA RS-422-A and offers higher current tri-state
drivers which are internally protected from bus contentions caused by multiple drivers
on the same line. RS-485 drivers will also withstand higher voltages on their outputs
when disabled (high impedance state). RS-485 is specified for multiple transmitter and
multiple receiver systems as well as single and multi-drop RS-422 applications. The
RS-422 specification permits only one driver and 10 receivers on a line. The RS-485
standard allows up to 32 drivers and receivers on the same transmission line.

RS-422/485 COMMUNICATION

Most CoProcessors have one RS-422/485 communication interface some have two. To
select a port for RS232 or RS422/485 data reception mode, please refer to "JUMPER
DESCRIPTIONS AND LOCATIONS" in the chapter for the CoProcessor module that
you are using. Transmissions from a selectable port are always available at RS-232
and RS-422/485 signal levels simultaneously.

RS-422/485 POINT-TO-POINT CABLING

6.4
RS-422/485 MULTI-DROP MADE EASY

Four wire RS-422 multiple transmitter multi-drop networks and all 2 wire RS-485
connections require that the transmitters float when not in use.

To enable the RS-422/485 transmitters only when PRINTing, use SETPORT to select
multi-drop mode "M". Use the multi-drop option when the CoProcessor is a slave in a
master/slave configuration or when a peer to peer configuration is required.

To leave the RS-422/485 transmitters ON even when not PRINTing, use SETPORT to
select point to point mode "P". Use the point to point option when the CoProcessor is a
single master in a master/slave or point to point configuration. This configuration
provides the greatest noise immunity because the RS-422/485 drivers remain enabled
and prevent noise from being received by the slave devices on the network.

Example: Configure Port 1 for 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bit word, 1 stop bit, software
XON/XOFF handshaking, and multi-drop RS-422/485 mode.

6.7
Cable Shielding

Shielding improves noise immunity (magnetic field protection). It is important to ground

the shield at the receiver end only. Grounding the receiver end only provides the least
high frequency signal attenuation and the best rejection of unwanted signals.
Grounding both ends of the shield will cause magnetic field induced noised currents to
flow through ground. Noise may then appear on the data lines due to transformer like
coupling with the shield. If the cable shield is used as the system ground conductor
then placing a 100 S resistor in series with the shield and the ground connection will
reduce noise producing ground currents.

Connecting Cables and Line Termination

A dual twisted pair plus ground connection is recommended for 4-wire RS-422
networks. Proper termination of the balanced transmission line is required to prevent
data errors. A typical AWG 22 solid wire with .060 inch plastic cover, twisted 4.5 times
per foot has a characteristic impedance of about 120 S. Thus the selection of the two
62 S line-to-ground terminating resistors. Line-to-ground termination is preferred to the
often shown line-to-line 120 S termination. In noisy or long line applications the much
better line-to-ground common-mode rejection capability is particularly important. In
multidrop networks, the line must be terminated at the extreme ends only as shown in
the two previous diagrams. Addition of intermediate terminations will adversely load
the line. If both the transmit and receive ends of the same twisted pair are terminated,
double the value of the termination resistors.

Floating Data Lines Noise Prevention

The RS-422/485 drivers at the host should remain enabled to prevent noise from being
received by the slave devices on the network. To prevent noise reception at the host
when there is no slave transmitting, add a pair of network biasing resistors to the host
as shown in the two previous diagrams. This will pull-up the floating transmit line from
the slaves to the RS-422/485 idle state (RXD+ to RXD- > .45 V). The equivalent of this
can be done in a CoProcessor using the "P" parameter in the SETPORT statement.
