“Power Users” group or the “Administrators” group to perform the configuration.
Libraries and Object Types

800xA for Advant Master defines a set of object types. An object type is a
predefined aspect object defined in the Object Type Structure.
Object types in 800xA for Advant Master (for example, AC 450 Controller, MB300
AI, MB300 PID Controller, and MB300 Valve) represent the data base element
types in the AC 400 series controller.
During upload from controllers, the Uploader aspect creates instances of the
controller objects with the respective object types in Control Structure.
The Advant Master object types are included in libraries in the 800xA system
version 5.1 and later versions. The Base Library AdvantMasterObjectTypes defines
all Advant Master object types including the graphics independent aspects. The
Extension Library AdvantMasterObjectTypesPG2Ext defines all process graphics
3BSE030340-510 17
Libraries and Object Types Section 2 Configuration
aspects, and AdvantMasterObjectTypesVB6Ext library defines all VB process

graphics aspects in the object types.
Extension libraries can be easily activated or deactivated in a functioning system.
This is beneficial while working on VB process graphics. The user can easily
deactivate the PG2 extension, which removes the corresponding aspects from the
system. The extension library can be activated later when required.

3BSE030340-510 21
RTA Board Configuration Section 2 Configuration
RTA Board Configuration

Setting Up the RTA Board
The configuration settings for the RTA Board include configuration of:
• Network and node number on the MasterBus 300 Control Network
• Time synchronization setting for RTA / PC clock synchronization
• Character Conversion
The network and node numbers must be setup before the 800xA system can
communicate with the control network.
The RTA Board configuration view (Network and Node configuration) will also
come up during the configuration of the system. The view is included when you
run the Configuration wizard.
Setup Network and Node Number

Use Configuration Wizard in order to setup network and node number. For more
information on adding the RTA Board, which also creates the network object, refer
to IndustrialIT 800xA, System, Post Installation (3BUA000156*).
For more information on adding multiple Connectivity Servers to the same MB 300
network, refer to Add Multiple Connectivity Servers to the Same MB 300 Network
on page 132.
Configuration of Time Synchronization Settings

This document describes two possible configuration settings for time
synchronization with MB 300 network.
• AC 400 Series controller as Clock Master, in a configuration with MB 300.
• 800xA for Advant Master Connectivity Server as Clock Master, in a
configuration with AC 400 Series controllers on MB 300 and 800xA for AC
800M controllers on a TCP/IP network.
A thorough description of synchronization strategies and overall configuration is
provided in IndustrialIT 800xA, System, Automation System Network, Design and
22 3BSE030340-510
Section 2 Configuration Configuration of Time Synchronization Settings
AC 400 Series Controller as Clock Master

When you have MB 300 as the only control network in your configuration, it is
recommended to use an AC 400 Series controller as clock master. The described
configuration will receive time synchronization from the MB 300 network and
distribute it to other Operator Workplace nodes (e.g Aspect Servers, Clients) in the
system. Manual time settings (e.g from client nodes) or local time shifts in the
system are propagated to the RTA Board and the MB 300 network.
The following settings are used for this configuration:
• Verify that the Clock Master setting in the Configuration Wizard is correct.
The 800xA as Clock Master (REVERSE_SYNCH_MODE) check box shall
be unchecked.
Figure 5. AC 400 as Clock Master
• RTA Board Settings

CLK_MAST = 0
LOC_TIME = 2
CLK_SEND = 1
No changes of the default configuration values are required.
3BSE030340-510 23
Configuration of Time Synchronization Settings Section 2 Configuration
• Time Service Master Settings

To distribute the time received from the MB 300 network to other Operator
Workplace nodes (e.g Aspect Servers, Clients) in the system, you have to configure
the time service in the dedicated Connectivity Server as time service master.
This is done in the following way.
1. Go to the Service Structure and select Time Service.
2. Select Basic, Service Group.
3. Select the Service Group Definition aspect.
Figure 6. Service Structure
4. Select the Configuration tab in the aspect window.

5. Place the Provider, selected to be master, first in the list. The providers below
will automatically be configured as standby.
24 3BSE030340-510
6. Place the redundant provider second in the list.

All Time Synchronization services should be enabled.
800xA for Advant Master Connectivity Server as Clock Master

This description is valid for a system configuration with AC 400 Series controllers
on MB 300 and 800xA for AC 800M controllers on a TCP/IP network. The
described configuration will synchronize all nodes on the MB 300 network from the
RTA Board in the configured CS.
1. Expand the Control Structure in the Plant Explorer, and select the RTA Board
object.
2. Select the RTA Board Control aspect in the aspect list.
3. Select the Network/Node Configuration tab and change the synchronization
direction between the Connectivity Server and the RTA Board. Check the
800xA as Clock Master (REVERSED_SYNC_MODE) check box, Apply.
Figure 7. 800xA as Clock Master Check Box
3BSE030340-510 25
Configuration of Time Synchronization Settings Section 2 Configuration
4. Select the RTA Board Configuration tab and click the RTA Board Config
button.
In the RTA Board Configuration window, enter mdb CLOCK_SYNCH.
Change the “CLK_MAST” parameter to “1” and the ‘’LOC_TIME’’ to ‘’0’’ as
described in window, see Figure 9.
This is done locally in the Connectivity Servers with a RTA Board.
Figure 8. RTA Board Control Aspect
26 3BSE030340-510
Figure 9. CLOCK_SYNCH DB Element
5. Close the window.

6. Start RTA Board Backup.
7. You have to Stop and then Start the RTA Board, to activate the changes.
This is done from the RTA Board Control tab in the RTA Board Control
aspect.
No Synchronization
If you for some reason (mixed systems) do not want any synchronization between
the RTA Board (MB 300 network) and the Connectivity Server, you can set the
parameter SYNC_INTERVAL to a specific value in the registry (FFFFFFFF).
3BSE030340-510 27
Process Object Lock Section 2 Configuration
It is always a risk to change values in the Windows registry edit. Be sure you
have a backup for safety reasons, so the computer can be restored if something
goes wrong.
1. Go to the Start menu, select Run and enter regedit. The registry is opened.
2. Open the KEY:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABB\AFW\SystemModules\
AfwTimeServerAdaptor\1.0-0\Private
3. Change the parameter SYNC_INTERVAL from A to FFFFFFFF.
4. Restart the time server.
Process Object Lock

800xA for Advant Master uses the manual lock (no configuration required) or the
autolock (configuration via Graphics Profile Values aspect). This lock mechanism
uses the lock flag (select) in the Advant Master controller.
It is possible to lock a process object via the lock button in the Faceplate to exclude
other operators from operation on the specific object. The lock is released when the
Faceplate is closed, the lock button is clicked or after a specific time-out period of
inactivity. It is however not required to lock an object before starting to operate it.
The autolock function can be configured so that the object is automatically locked at
Faceplate call-up. This function can be enabled for a specific user via the User
Profile aspect Graphics Profile Values in the User Structure (see Figure 10).
See IndustrialIT 800xA, Operations, Operator Workplace Configuration
(3BSE030322*) for details on how to configure User Profile aspects.
28 3BSE030340-510
Section 2 Configuration Process Object Lock
Figure 10. Autolock Enabled in an Graphics Profile Values Aspect
800xA for Advant Master does not support the 800xA Base System Lock Server
function and its extended functions, such as Break Lock.
It is thus not supported to uncheck the checkbox "Do not use standard lock server
for process object locking" in Special Configuration tab of OPC DA Service
Group Definition.
3BSE030340-510 29
Process Object Sensitive Hot Keys Section 2 Configuration
In the controller, a process object may remain locked up to 5 minutes in the

following scenarios:
1) The power of the connectivity server system is turned off.
2) The connectivity server is disconnected from the MB300 network.
The object can be operated after the timeout but the lock (SELECTED) flag in the
controller will not be reset to indicate this in the Faceplate.
This problem does not occur if the following versions of Advant Controller 400
series are used:
1) Advant Controller 410 *1.5/8 (or later).
2) Advant Controller 450 *2.3/8 (or later).
The faceplates that are open will display a yellow colored locked-by-other symbol.
It is not possible to lock the object by clicking the Lock button.
To resolve a locked-by-other situation in a faceplate, execute the following steps:
1) Wait 5 minutes after the lock is released for the process object.
2) If autolock is configured, close and reopen the required faceplates.
If manual lock is used, ignore the yellow indication and perform any operation that
is safe for the process (for example, block and directly deblock the alarm).
Process Object Sensitive Hot Keys

The Hot Keys Aspect is located in the workplace structure.
You use the Hot Keys Aspect System to configure Hot Keys. It enables
configuration of key combinations that perform specific functions, such as opening
an aspect view or activating a verb. The hot key operation is done on highlighted
objects.
To secure that all hotkeys can be used, refer to the procedure described in Hot
Keys section in IndustrialIT 800xA, Operations, Operator Workplace
For more information about highlighted objects, see IndustrialIT 800xA, System,
Operation (3BSE036904*).

The Verb Map Aspect

The Verb Map aspect extends the support provided by the Hot Keys aspect.
It provides a cross connection, which makes it easier to apply the Hot Key support
for highlighted and selected objects. It makes it also easier for different connected
OCS systems to apply the same hot keys for their objects.
Objects with the Verb Map aspect can be part of a hot key scheme using the selected
and highlighted concepts.
For more information about the Verb Map Aspect see IndustrialIT 800xA,
Operations, Operator Workplace Configuration (3BSE030322*).

Min and Max Dialog Section 2 Configuration
Min and Max Dialog

Min and Max Dialog According to Security
In order to reflect min and max dialog of the AS500OS all writable properties in the
control connection for each of the Advant Master objects types have been defined to
require either tune or operate permission. This together with the corresponding
system security definition will allow the operators to operate the min dialog but not
the max dialog properties.
The introduction of min/max dialog does not hide any information from the user;
instead it will give the system configurator the means to restrict the operations
available for a single user or a group of users.
When the user does not possess the permissions required for an operation the
buttons in the faceplate will be dimmed. Number fields will not be open for input
etc.
The most common is that an operator is permitted to operate, e.g. enter values.
If you have more permissions (as an Application Engineer) you may be allowed to
tune, e.g. set alarm limits or blocking parameters.
For more information about Security settings, refer to IndustrialIT 800xA, System,
Administration and Security (3BSE037410*).

Section 3 Engineering Building the Control Structure
Section 3 Engineering
This section contains information about how to build your Control Structure (on-
line, off-line and for test purposes) and how to include Control Builder A in an
800xA System.
Building the Control Structure

The Control Structure is based on the controllers in your Advant Master System.
Preferably it should be built on-line, with connection to the controllers, see Building
the Control Structure On-line on page 37.
The Control Structure can also be built using the output from the Controller
Engineering tool FCB, see Building the Control Structure On-line on page 37. This
has some advantages for a new site:
• You can create the Control Structure step by step as the Controller Engineering
proceeds and thereby extend your Operator Workplace applications stepwise.
• You can work off-line from the controllers (without connection to the control
network), also in a site geographically separated from where the Controller
Engineering is made.
Before starting to build the Control Structure the RTA Board object shall be created
using the Configuration Wizard. This action will also create the corresponding
Network object and the necessary Service Providers. see IndustrialIT 800xA,
System, Post Installation Setup (3BUA000156*) for details.
The MB300 Uploader aspect is used both when building the Control Structure on-
line and off-line. The MB 300 Uploader aspect is placed in the Control Structure on
network and node level. See Figure 11.

Add each AC 400 Series or MP200/1 Controller to the structure using the correct
node object type as template and enter the correct network and node number.
Figure 12. Creating a Controller Node Object
3BSE030340-510 37
Building the Control Structure On-line Section 3 Engineering
The From Controller tab in the MB300 Uploader aspect is used to upload from one
controller or from all controllers on a MB300 network depending on the location of
the MB300 Uploader aspect.
Before starting the upload procedure it is important to select a character
conversion in the RTA Board Control aspect that matches the controller
application to prevent incorrect naming. Possible values are English, German and
Swedish with English as default.
If character conversion is changed after the upload and a new upload is done,
object identities might change. For example, links from Trends and process
graphics can be lost as well as event treatment element settings. See Industrial IT,
Localization (2PAA101940*) for more information.
Perform Upload in the MB300 Uploader aspect on a specific controller node to
upload the whole structure of I/O boards and Process and System objects from one
controller. If Upload instead is performed in the MB300 Uploader aspect on
network level (see Figure 11), all nodes below are uploaded, one node at a time.

Adding or Removing Object Types to Upload

Click Add or Remove to modify the list with object types that you want to include
in the Upload. If you leave the list blank, all object types are included (this is the
default).
The following object types are valid for Upload:
• All object types located in MB 300 Process Objects group.
• Bus and Station object types under Advant Fieldbus 100, Lonbus and Profibus.
• S400 MasterFieldbus object type.

Create Uploader from Source File and Build Control Structure

These check boxes should always be marked. They are only used for fault tracing
and simulation, and should not be modified. They should only be modified on direct
request from the supplier.
Starting the Upload

Click on Start Upload when you are ready for the upload. The window in the lower
part of the aspect view presents messages describing the progress, see Figure 13.
Stop the Upload

Click on Stop Upload if you want to interrupt the upload.
Uploading may take time depending on application and controller type.
If you have two parallel connectivity servers, the upload is performed through the
primary connectivity server, irrespective of which connectivity server or client
you are making the upload from. However, if the primary connectivity server is
down, the upload is performed through the secondary connectivity server.
The primary connectivity server is the first provider in the OpcDA service group.

Section 3 Engineering Building the Control Structure Off-line
Building the Control Structure Off-line

Building the Control Structure Off-line involves the following additional work
compared to the on-line procedure:
• Use the FCB 6.0 MB 300 Uploader option or a later version on the Engineering
PC. Create source files for each controller and copy them to the 800xA for
Advant Master Server.
• Run the MB 300 Uploader aspect for each controller using the source files as
input. You can populate one controller at a time or one or a couple of object
types at a time.
• When the controller is available on the network, you can retrieve some of
the addresses, that are only available in the controller, to the Control Structure.
Run the MB 300 Uploader directly towards the controller. This is required
when the controller is ready to go on-line.
The following step by step tutorial describes how to create the complete
Control Structure for the AC 450 Controller (node address 31,18) starting with an
empty Control Structure. We assume that you have already installed the MB 300
Uploader option on the PC where you have the engineering software running.
Refer to the Function Chart Builder User’s Guide for a detailed description on how
to build the controller objects.
1. Build the Controller objects with the Function Chart Builder engineering tool.
2. Use FCB 6.1 /0 MB 300 Uploader option or a later version. Go to the Start
menu and select Start > All Programs > ABB Industrial IT > Product Suite
> Engineer IT > Control Builder A > Utilities > MB 300 Upload >
Uploader FCB on the Engineering PC.
3BSE030340-510 41
Building the Control Structure Off-line Section 3 Engineering
The following dialog box appears:

s
Figure 14. FCB Upload
3. Browse to the FCB database file in the project structure.

4. Enter the name of the file that should be created (the Uploader Source File).
For example. set the name to Node50.ocd.
5. Ensure that only the object types that you want to upload are shown in the
Object Types to upload list. You move object types between the lists by
selecting them and using the arrow buttons.
6. Start the upload process by clicking the Start FcbUpload button.
7. Make the source file you just created accessible from the Operator Workplace
server. There are several ways to make the file accessible.
– Copy the file to a shared disk that is available from the server.
– Copy the file to a removable media.
Login to the 800xA server machine as a System Engineer and perform the
following:
1. Select the Control Structure in Plant Explorer.
2. Open the context menu on Network object and select New Object.
42 3BSE030340-510
Section 3 Engineering Building the Control Structure Off-line
3. Select the AC 450 Controller Object Type, enter the Node name, and click
Create.
Figure 15. Selecting the Object Type AC 450
4. From the Controller 31, 18 object, select the MB 300 Uploader aspect,
and select the From FCB tab. See Appendix Appendix B, MB300 Uploader
for details and limitations regarding the FCB Upload.
5. Clear the Create Uploader Source File check box. This allows the user to edit
the Uploader Source File text field.
6. Enter the name of the transported source file, for example, Node50.ocd.
7. Select Start Upload and then click Apply to save the changes. Refer to
Figure 16.
3BSE030340-510 43
Building the Control Structure Off-line Section 3 Engineering
Figure 16. Creating the Control Structure for Node 31, 18
This step can be split up into several parts, as it is possible to work with one
object type at a time. If you know that you have only added or modified objects
of type AI in the engineering database, then other object types do not have to be
uploaded.
8. Now that the Uploader step is done, the Control Structure is updated with
the objects included in the FCB source file. You can start building applications
based on these objects. For more information, refer to IndustrialIT 800xA,
Operations, Operator Workplace Configuration (3BSE030322*).
9. Before you can go on-line with your system, you need to make an additional
upload session, directly toward the controllers. The reason is that some of the
physical addresses in the controllers are not available in the FCB files.
However, you have saved considerable time by using the time-lag between
Controller Engineering and the time the controllers are installed and up and
running.
10. Select the From Controller tab and click Start Upload. This will upload all
object data from the controller.

Section 3 Engineering Building a Control Structure for Test and Demo Purposes
Building a Control Structure for Test and Demo Purposes

It may sometimes be an advantage to be able to test or demonstrate your
applications in a simulated Control Structure.
Note that the graphic presentation of object data, in the shape of faceplates or
display elements, does not work directly with simulated values from the Property
Signal Generator. You must define supervision and presentation properties to
input “simulated live data” into the presentation of faceplates or display elements.
You can build a Control Structure with simulated values through the following
steps:
2. Build a structure that includes the process and system objects that you want to
simulate.
3. Add the Property Signal Generator aspect to each object (process and system
objects) that you want simulated data from.
Figure 17. Add Aspect Property Signal Generator
3BSE030340-510 45
Building a Control Structure for Test and Demo Purposes Section 3 Engineering
4. Set up the configuration of the Signal Generator aspect to generate data for the
specific attributes. This set up includes specifying variable data style - Sin
wave, Ramp, Random, Static Value etc. You specify the set up for each object
attribute.
Figure 18. Setup for Property Signal Generator
5. Build your applications to work with this Control Structure with simulated
attributes.
6. Test your applications (demo applications, test applications).
7. Save the controller node objects in the Control Structure for future use by
exporting each node separately, one by one. Start the Import/Export tool via
Start > All Programs > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > System > Import
Export. Use drag and drop when exporting the objects from the
Plant Explorer to the Import/Export tool.

Section 4 Alarm and Event Defining Event Treatments Using RTA Board Configuration
Section 4 Alarm and Event
To obtain a proper Alarm and Event functionality, configuration of following levels

has to be done:
• The Database Element in the controller representing the process object.
See Defining Event Treatment for Process and System Objects on page 67.
• Event Treatment Database element in RTA Board. See Defining Event
Treatments Using RTA Board Configuration on page 67.
• Alarm and Event List configurations in the Library Structure. See Default
Alarm and Event List Configurations on page 67.
Defining Event Treatments Using RTA Board

Configuration
You define the Event treatment by configuring the ‘Event’ data base elements on the
RTA Board. See Appendix A, Event Treat Elements to get a detailed description of
the data base elements that you can configure. Appendix C, Event Texts contains a
detailed description how to setup the event text elements.
When you have setup the event treatment, you shall perform a RTA Board Backup
to save your work. Look in RTA Board Configuration Tab on page 238 for guidance
how to save the RTA database.

MB300AeDefaultListConfigurations.afw.
Defining Event Treatment

The Event Treatment for Advant Master objects are defined during the engineering
phase of the controller. When you build the process objects in the controller you
assign values to special parameters in the DB-element that are important for the
event handling. These parameters are mentioned in many “Advant OCS documents”
under the collective designation “Event-Treat-pointers”. They are used, for example,
to determine whether a change of status is to be handled as an alarm or an event. It is
also possible to determine color priority and whether an acoustic signal is to be
activated, separate handling of changes 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 etc.
Different types of events from a process object are assembled in groups, which are
allocated a pointer, with which you determines the event handling of the group.
For example, signal errors in an analog input are collected in a group with a pointer
ERR_TR. Passages of limits Low and High (L1 and H1) are another group with a
pointer LIM1_TR. A third group of passages of limits Low low and High high
(L2 and H2) have a pointer LIM2_TR. The event handling, within a group, is the
same in principle, but each individual event has its own text in the presentations.
Each pointer has been allocated a default value on delivery (a norm value). In many
cases this selection is satisfactory and permits you to start the system without further
adjustment.
Figure 43 shows the Event Treat pointers for a digital input.
The pointers are given a number, which points out a standard alarm and event
handling description (on the RTA Board in the Connectivity Server).
The Event Treat pointers 1-18 are, with standard handling, ready for use and cannot
be changed. Event Treat pointers 20-300 can be used by the user, without restriction,
to adapt the event handling to the requirements of the process concerned.
Standard pointers adapted to the individual Object types are given in Appendix A,
Event Treat Elements.
It is important that all RTA Boards in a system with redundant connectivity

servers are configured identical.

Defining Event Filter on Node Level Section 4 Alarm and Event
Defining Event Filter on Node Level

It is possible to filter alarm and events to be sent from selected controllers on a MB
300 network to certain connectivity servers. This can be useful when;
• Multiple connectivity servers are connected to the same MB 300 network.
• Only a selection of controllers connected to a MB 300 network are included
into a 800xA system.
Instruction how to configure Event filter on Node level.
This function is configured on the RTA board in the connectivity servers.
Follow the steps below logged in as Application Engineer on the connectivity
server:
1. Start the RTA board configuration from the RTA Board Control aspect.
2. Create one instance of the data base element NODE_DESCR for each
controller node you want to prevent from sending events to this RTA board.
Command: CRDB NODE_DESCR.
3. The following terminals should be defined:
NETW_NO – Network number. For redundant networks, specify one of the
two networks.
NODE_NO – Node number for the controller node to be filtered.
EVENT – 1 = Filter is active.
4. When all NODE_DESCR elements are defined, terminate the RTA board
configuration session and start a RTA Board Backup (also from the RTA Board
Control aspect).
5. Restart the RTA board from the RTA Board Control aspect.
6. Now the configuration is completed for this connectivity server. In case
redundancy is configured for this you need to repeat the configuration on the
redundant connectivity server.
7. Restart the concerned controllers to make the changes take effect. If not
possible to restart the controllers, consult ABB Technical Support.
78 3BSE030340-510
Section 4 Alarm and Event Alarm Hiding
Alarm Hiding
800xA for Advant Master supports hiding of alarms. Hidden alarms does not appear
in alarm lists. Hiding of individual conditions is possible if the Alarm Conditions
aspect is used. The condition names added to Alarm Condition are dependent of the
language selected on the RTA Board. Active hiding condition is indicated in the
Alarm Control button in faceplates. For more information on alarm hiding, refer to
IndustrialIT 800xA, System, Configuration (3BDS011222*).
Audit List for Operator Actions

An Audit List can display audit logs for operator actions. It can be a useful help to,
for example, see what changes the last operator on shift made in the system.
The logs are displayed in an alarm and event list, which is configured to show
operator actions. Lock operations are by default not logged in Audit Lists.
For configuration and creation of an Operator Actions List see IndustrialIT 800xA,
System, Administration and Security (3BSE037410*). See Appendix E, Control
Aspect for information about how to customize the description column.
Figure 49. Example of a customized Audit List for Operator Actions

External Alarm
The External Alarm function makes it possible to activate and deactivate an external
alarm notification object in the controller. To prevent write conflicts when outputs
are concurrently activated and deactivated, it is only supported to use object type
DAT(B).
Events to 3’rd party clients

All access from 3’rd party OPC AE clients should be connected through “ABB OPC
AE Server for 800xA”, ProgId ABB.OPCEventServer.1.
To enable sending of events to clients, please refer to Appendix H, Special
Configuration.
80 3BSE030340-510
Section 5 History Logs
Section 5 History Logs
When configuring Log Configurations in Basic History there are three collection
methods to choose from:
• TTD Logging (See Time Tagged Data (TTD) on page 82.)
• OPC Direct Logging with controller generic cyclic (1, 3 and 9 seconds)
subscription (See OPC Direct Logging - 1, 3 and 9 Seconds on page 103.)
• OPC Direct Logging without controller generic cyclic subscription (See OPC
Direct Logging - Other Storage Intervals on page 103.)
Consider the following to optimize performance:
• Best availability, accuracy, and RTA performance is obtained when making use
of TTD logs in the controller. The History Server can read from TTD logs
much more efficiently compared to using direct OPC property subscriptions.
• Use OPC Direct Logging with cyclic rate 9, 3 or 1 seconds (preferably 9s) and
only for properties that support controller generic cyclical subscriptions if TTD
logging cannot be used. See Section 7, Data Transfer via OPC DA for more
details and alternative subscription rates since the rules for data subscriptions
also applies to OPC Direct Logging subscriptios.
• Do not read recent History values too frequent when the log’s data source is
TTD.
Properly configured time synchronization is a key to get stability and performance
in logging values from the Advant Master controllers.
3BSE030340-510 81
Time Tagged Data (TTD) Section 5 History Logs
Time Tagged Data (TTD)

The configuration of TTD is based on the History Configuration Aspect System
which is an integrated part of IndustrialIT 800xA System. This section describes
mainly the Aspect Categories for TTD. The History Configuration Aspect System
user interfaces in general are described in detail in the IndustrialIT 800xA, System,
Configuration (3BDS011222*).
The AC 400 Series Controllers have a Historical logging feature called
Time Tagged Data (TTD). The framework for this, called log groups, must be
defined during the Controller Engineering phase. Adding logs to the log groups can
then be made from the workplace.
Before going into the details on how to create the TTD logs in the controllers,
here is a short description of some of the terms and functionality of the
AC 400 TTD logs:
A log is a collection of time stamped (tagged) data.
t1 t2 tn tx = time x
v1 v2 vn vx = value at time x
Log
Figure 50. A Collection of Time Stamped (tagged) Data
The process or system object from which the data originates is called the data
source.
A log also contains information about the data source.
Data Source t1 t2 tn
Source Info v1 v2 vn
Log
Figure 51. Information About the Data Source
A log is always part of a log group, one log group in TTD can manage up to 127
logs. There are up to 15 log groups. The log’s sequence number within the log group
is called log index. The log group keeps the important parameters, storage interval
82 3BSE030340-510
Section 5 History Logs Time Tagged Data (TTD)
and storage size (in controller documentation storage size is called log period)
common to all logs in the log group.
The following History Configuration Aspect System user interfaces, which are
specific for 800xA for Advant Master, are described below:
• The TTD Source Aspect
• The Log Template aspect, the TTD log tab
• The TTD Node Configuration aspect
• The Log Configuration aspect, the TTD log tab is the same view as the
Log Template aspect.
History Primary Logging should preferably be done by using TTD as data source.
TTD normally causes less impact on the system than OPC logging on a cyclic
rate.
Too heavy History logging may cause unnecessary load in the control network
and controllers in such a way that the operator interface may get slow, or even
stops working properly.
The minimum length recommended for TTD Logs in the controller is 40 minutes.
TTD requires a time synchronization accuracy between the 800xA system and
the MB300 network that is better than 20 seconds to work properly.
3BSE030340-510 83
The TTD Source Aspect Section 5 History Logs
The TTD Source Aspect

The Configuration Wizard creates this aspect when adding an RTA board.
The aspect defines the service groups for TTD Config Source and TTD Data
Source. TTD Source is placed on the MB 300 Network object and does normally
not need to be changed.
Figure 52. TTD Source Aspect
The Log Template Aspect

A Log Template is a re-usable template representing one log group. If you modify
an existing Log Template, the changes will affect existing logs that have been
created using that Log Template.You define the Log template via the Log Template
aspect.
To create this aspect you preferably invoke an upload from the Synchronize View on
TTD Node Configuration aspect. This creates a Log Template aspect for each TTD
log Group on the corresponding AC 400 Series Controller object.
The aspect has two tabs:
• The Log Definition tab
• The TTD Data Collection tab
Property log Template area

You select the log to define in the Property log Template area on the left side.
84 3BSE030340-510
Section 5 History Logs The Log Template Aspect
You can add new Log templates by clicking the Add button and delete
Log templates by clicking Delete. You quit the Log template definition without
storing anything by clicking Cancel.
You save the Log template definition by clicking the Apply button. On-line help is
available by clicking the Help button.

Figure 53. Log Template - Log Definition Tab
Log Name. Enter the log name in this field. We recommend that you include the
following parts in the name:
• “TTD” for TTD logs
• the storage interval for the log (30s)
• the total log capacity (2h) in the log template name.
This makes it easier to find the correct log template.
Log Type. Log type is set to Direct for primary logs, and Hierarchical for
hierarchical logs. The Log type and Source definitions are defined when you create
the log template.

controller. Select the log storage interval for the TTD log in the drop-down menu.
TTD Log Value Count. This is the storage size (number of stored values) in the
TTD log in the controller. The Capacity (in time) is automatically calculated and
presented to the right of the entry field.
The TTD log storage interval and the TTD log value count must match a
Log Group in the controller.
History Log Value Count. This is the storage size (number of stored values) in the
history server. The default size of the History log is double the size of the TTD log.
If you want to change the History log size, you enter the number of stored values in
the History log in the Value Count field. The Capacity (in time) is automatically
calculated and presented to the right of the entry field.

Section 5 History Logs TTD Node Configuration Aspect
TTD Node Configuration Aspect

TTD Node Configuration is an aspect of the AC 400 Series Controller object in
Control Structure. It has three different views:
• Main View - presents the TTD logs in the Control Structure
• Controller View - presents the structure of the Log Groups
• Synchronize View - used for upload and download of TTD configurations.
Main View
The main view of the TTD Node Configuration aspect presents the TTD logs in the
Control Structure.s
Figure 55. TTD Node Configuration, Main View
Object. Name of the object that has a property included in a TTD log.
Property. Object property that is included in the TTD log.

controller). This will normally be set to Mapped. Unmapped indicates that a
download to the controller is required.
Log. TTD log name (defined in the Log Template aspect that represents the Log
Group) that the object property is included in.
Controller View
The Controller View of the TTD Node Configuration aspect has two lists:
• one overview list with all groups in the controller node, see Figure 56.
• one list for a selected Log Group, see Figure 57.
The following columns are presented when you have selected the controller node in
the left window:
Figure 56. TTD Node Configuration: Controller View, Log Groups
• Log Group No - Log Group number 1 - 15.

• Log Group Name - The name of the TTD Log Group.
• Interval - The storage interval displayed in suitable time scale.
88 3BSE030340-510
• Capacity - The number of stored data items before they are overwritten
(circular log).
The second layout of the Controller View, showing the details for a selected
Log Group has the following columns in the right window, see Figure 57.
Figure 57. TTD Node Configuration: Controller View, Details About one Log Group
• Index - Index in the Log Group 1- 127.

• Object - The name of the logged object.
• Property - The name of the logged object property.
• Treatment - The logged value could be calculated from the real-time value.
Four calculations (treatments) are available: Mom (momentary), Mean
(average), Max (maximum) and Min (minimum). The treatment should always
be Mom for primary logs.
• Source - Source shows if the log is primary or secondary. Only primary logs
are handled by history server, secondary logs are ignored.
• Active - The state of the log - Active or Not active (shown as blank in the list).
The header above the list of logs contains information about Log group address,
the storage interval and capacity.
3BSE030340-510 89
TTD Node Configuration Aspect Section 5 History Logs
Synchronize View
The Synchronize view of the TTD Node Configuration aspect has the following
functionality:
• Upload of the current TTD groups and logs from the selected controller.
• Download of new TTD log configurations into the controller.
Upload of TTD Logs from Controller. To load the existing TTD logs into the
History Configuration Aspect System,
you use the synchronization view of the TTD Node Configuration aspect.
The upload process creates all necessary Log Template and Log Configuration
aspects. Click Upload and wait. The progress is presented in the text window,
see Figure 58.
Figure 58. Upload of TTD Logs
90 3BSE030340-510
The result of a completed Upload is as follows:

• A Log Template aspect for each type of TTD Log Group is created on the
corresponding AC450 and AC410 Controller object.
• A Log Configuration aspect is created on each logged object. It has the primary
log being a TTD log configured according to the information read from the
controller and with an extension into a corresponding hierarchical log twice as
large as the primary log. To extend it, change the corresponding Log template
and it will affect all logs belonging to that Log Template.
• The hierarchical logs are disregarded.
Download of new log configurations into the Controller.

You can also do Download for an individual log from the Log configuration
aspect on the process object.
To download and activate new TTD logs you can use the synchronization view of
the TTD Node Configuration aspect. Click Download to the right and wait.
The Match Existing dialog box appears, see Figure 59.
Figure 59. Match Existing
Click Yes for logs that have not been mapped to a TTD log in the controller.
The download function will try to find a suitable log in the controller to map the
downloaded log to. Click No when a new log will be created in the controller for
each configured un-mapped log.
3BSE030340-510 91
Working with TTD logs Section 5 History Logs
The progress is logged in the text window, see Figure 60.
Figure 60. Downloading the new TTD logs
When the download is finished, you can check the result in the log on the screen but
you can also bring up the Main View to check specific logs.
Working with TTD logs

We have now discussed each configuration aspect. In this section you will find three
examples of how to make the configuration. The assumption is that you have a
Control Structure for an AC 400 Series controller and that the controller has
configured TTD log Groups with some logs.
1. The first example shows how to view the current TTD logs in the controller.
2. The second example shows how you prepare the configuration of new
TTD logs by creating Log Templates for them.
92 3BSE030340-510
Section 5 History Logs Working with TTD logs
3. The third example utilizes the Log templates when you create new logs and
download them to the controllers.
The recommended method to configure the History Aspect System if the
controller already is configured by terms of TTD groups and logs is however to
perform Upload. This is done from the Synchronize View of the TTD Node
Configuration aspect of the controller objects. This action creates all necessary
objects and aspects.
Example 1: View the TTD logs in the Controllers

1. Go to the Control Structure in Plant Explorer.
2. Click on the object representing the controller you want to work with.
Select the TTD Node Configuration aspect.
3. Select the Controller View. See Figure 61.
Figure 61. TTD Node Configuration: Controller View, Log Groups
To the left you see a list with the existing Log Groups, and to the right a storage
interval (Interval) and storage size (Capacity) for each Log Group. If you select one
3BSE030340-510 93
of the groups you can see the existing logs in that group to the right, see also
Figure 62.
Figure 62. TTD Node Configuration: Controller View, details about one Log Group
Example 2: Create a Log Template for a TTD log

We want to create a log template for a TTD log with storage interval 30 seconds and
a storage size of 2 hours (240 values). We already know (from example 1) that a
suitable TTD log group exists in this controller and there are at least one free index
in the group. The TTD log shall be stored and extended in the History Configuration
Aspect System to a storage capacity of 4 hours.
Furthermore, a hierarchical log shall be created within the History Configuration
Aspect System which aggregates the primary information into an average, stored
with 1 minutes interval over 1 day (1440 values) aggregated as average.
1. Select the Library Structure in Plant Explorer.
2. Create a new object of the History Log Template type. Give it a proper Name
and Description. Let the name reflect to the TTD log template and the storage
interval and size. It makes it easier to select a log template during log creation.
94 3BSE030340-510
It is recommended to save the log template in the Library Structure,

History Log Template Object Type.

4. Start creating the new TTD log. Select Property Log and click Add.
See Figure 64. The New Log Template dialog is displayed, see Figure 65.
Figure 65. New Log Template
5. Select TTD in the Data Source drop-down menu. In the Log Type area, select
the Direct radio button. Click OK to save the settings.
Figure 66. Creating TTD Log Templates
96 3BSE030340-510
6. Enter the name of the new TTD log (TTD_30s in the example above).
Name the logs according to the type of log (TTD in this case), and the storage
interval (30s). See Figure 66.
7. Select the TTD Data Collection tab and enter the “TTD log storage interval”
30 seconds and a storage “TTD log value count” of 240 values (2 hours
capacity), see Figure 67.
The storage size in History Aspect System is defined by History Log Value
Count. Choose twice the size of the TTD log, in this case 480 values (4 hours
capacity).
Figure 67. Log Configuration - TTD Data collection
8. Save the TTD Data Collection parameters (click Apply) and go back to
the Log Definition tab to enter the definition of one hierarchical log.

Direct OPC Logs

Configuration of Direct OPC Logs is described in IndustrialIT 800xA, System,
Configuration (3BSDS011222*).
Please note that if a communication failure occurs between controller and
connectivity server, all log points in the failure period will be lost.
If a process object is used directly as data source, it is not supported to have faster
sample time than 9s. Always use 9s sample time for the primary log when a
sample time faster than 2 min are wanted. Sample times from 2 min and upwards
can be used in primary OPC logs without causing load problems in the system.
102 3BSE030340-510
Section 5 History Logs OPC Direct Logging - 1, 3 and 9 Seconds
OPC Direct Logging - 1, 3 and 9 Seconds

Direct OPC logging for 1, 3 and 9 seconds use the same method for data
subscriptions as cyclic subscriptions in for example process displays. This type of
subscriptions is controlled and optimized in the Connectivity Server, which for
example will subscribe data only once if same data is requested by both logs and
displays. The AC 400 Series controller is optimized for 1,3, and 9 second
subscriptions.
Subscribe only to OPC properties that support cyclic subscriptions.
The properties that support cyclic subscriptions are listed in Appendix F, Cyclic
OPC Properties.
The recommended Direct OPC Logging cyclic rate is 9 seconds.
OPC with controller generic cyclic subscriptions is the least costly alternative
regarding CPU and memory resources in the controller and the data transfer
between the controller and History Server is also optimal. If other clients (such as
Process Graphics) subscribe to the same object property as the History Server, only
one common subscription is setup in the controller.
OPC Direct Logging - Other Storage Intervals

Using OPC logs without controller generic cyclic subscriptions does not allocate
resources permanently in the controller.
Please note that it can cause high overhead in data transfer between the controller
and the connectivity server (require ten times more data transfer per log point/sec
than 1,3 and 9 seconds).
For more detailed information about other subscriptions see Section 7, Data
Transfer via OPC DA.

Section 6 Quick List Quick List Data Source Aspect
Section 6 Quick List
The Quick List can be used for searches. Some Quick Lists may be predefined in
your system, but you can also configure your own Quick Lists. See IndustrialIT
800xA, System, 800xA for Advant Master, Operation (3BSE030352*) for more
information regarding Quick List configuration.
Quick List Data Source Aspect

If the Quick List aspect is created in the Control Structure, it is not necessary to
create any Quick List Data Source aspect. In case it is created on an object in
another structure e.g. the Functional Structure, a Quick List Data aspect need to be
added to the same object. In the configuration view of the Quick List Data Source
aspect you choose provider, see Figure 73.

Section 7 Data Transfer via OPC DA OPC Subscriptions
Section 7 Data Transfer via OPC DA
800xA for Advant Master supports OPC (DA) OPCs. See Appendix E, Control
Aspect for detailed information about CCA.
For detailed about the 800xA OPC DA interface see IndustrialIT 800xA,
System,Configuration (3BDS011222*).
The OPC client application defines the Update Rate for the OPC Group in
milliseconds unit (ms). If Update Rate 0 is specified, the default update rate defined
in CCA is used. Negative Update Rate .
To optimize performance of the MB300 RTA Board:
• Subscribe cyclically, and use only 1, 3 and 9 second cyclic rates.
• Only subscribe to items that can be fed cyclically by the controllers.
• Avoid overriding the default UpdateRate in Process Graphics.
• Only write to MB300 DAT objects.
Do not read recent History values too frequent when the log’s data source is TTD.
OPC Subscriptions
When configuring OPC subscription of properties from process object, it is
important to understand the different types of available subscriptions. The following
types exist:
• Properties available in predefined cyclic subscription.
Properties in this group have the default update rate –9000 ms in CCA, and are
also found in Appendix F, Cyclic OPC Properties.
Supported update rates are 1000, 3000, 9000 ms for cyclic updates and –1000,
–3000, –9000 ms for cyclic update with additional event driven updates.
• Properties available in predefined event driven subscription.
Properties in this group have the default update rate –9000 ms in CCA, but not
3BSE030340-510 107
OPC Read Operations Section 7 Data Transfer via OPC DA
found in Appendix F, Cyclic OPC Properties.

Cyclic update is not possible.
• Properties available in predefined demand update.
Properties in this group have the default update rate 9000 ms in CCA.
Typically, static data such as text properties belong to this group.
Cyclic subscription less than 10000 ms and Event driven subscription is not
possible.
• Other properties.
Properties in this group have the default update rate 20000 ms in CCA.
The method used to retrieve data is cyclic polling, which is much more
resource consuming compared with predefined subscriptions. Event driven
subscription is not possible.
For all groups above the following is applicable:
• Update Rates greater than 10000 ms are possible. However, a cyclic polling
method is used. This method is not optimized in terms of CPU load in RTA and
in the Controller, and should therefore be used restrictive. There are no
possibilities to get event driven updates with this method.
• Actual data from the Controller is always notified to the client once the
subscription is started.
OPC Read Operations
To minimize load on the system, use 1000, 3000 or 9000 ms Subscriptions and do
Synchronous cache read.
OPC Write Operations

It is only supported to do Write Operations towards DAT object marked .
The CPU load in the controller has to be taken in account.
108 3BSE030340-510
Section 7 Data Transfer via OPC DA Performance
Performance
The most visible ‘bottleneck’ in an 800xA System connected to Advant Master
network is the CPU load of the RTA board in the connectivity server.
Consider the following when setting up the OPC Data Access subscriptions from
the 3rd party client to minimize load:
• Set up the subscriptions as cyclic subscriptions for 1s, 3s or 9s. Preferably 9s.
Only subscribe to OPC properties supporting cyclic subscriptions.
• Max 500 subscriptions are allowed with update rate greater than 10s per
connectivity server (single or redundant pair).
• For 1s, 3s and 9s the following applies: The RTA CPU load is independent of
how many properties you will request on the same tag, provided the same
Update Rate is used.
• Do not load the RTA CPU higher than 50%. Use ‘RTA Board Config’
command ANPER - SYSTEM LOAD analyze to monitor the RTA CPU load.
• To minimize disturbance when the subscription is started, divide your
subscriptions into several OPC groups. Not more than 1000 process objects in
each group are recommended. When starting up or stopping the subscriptions,
do it group by group in order not to overload the RTA and Controller.
• The average CPU load in the Controller should not exceed 80% after starting
up the subscriptions.
• If 3’rd party clients are subscribing for many items, there is a risk for
communication jam between the controller and connectivity server when client
are started. See Appendix H, Special Configuration for how to set up Data
Subscription flow control to minimize problems.
Calculation of RTA CPU load originating from data subscriptions is complicated.
Here follows an instruction how to calculate load from 1, 3 and 9s subscriptions.
Please note that the total RTA CPU load depends on many other functions, such as
Time Tagged Data and Event handling.
• The load is directly related to the number of MB 300 signals (data package sent
on MB 300) received per second. A flow of 1 MB 300 signal/second consumes
0.3% RTA CPU load if PU515A is used and 0.25% if PU410 is used.
3BSE030340-510 109
Performance Section 7 Data Transfer via OPC DA
• Data from a process object is sent from the controller even if value is not
changed (frozen), according to the chosen update rate (1, 3 or 9s).
• Each MB 300 signal consists of data from 1 up to 38 process objects in the
controller. Use table below for maximum number of objects (instances) in each
MB 300 signal dependant of object type.
• Each MB 300 signal only contains data from one node and from one object
type with the same update rate. As a result of this optimization, data from 23 AI
objects from one node utilize the same resources as 1 AI.
Calculation Example
3 s subscription from node A: 100 AI, 10 MOTCON and 5 PIDCONA
9 s subscription from node A: 400 AI
1 s subscription from node B: 1 AI, 25 AO
Average number of MB300 signals each second:
(5 + 2 + 2) / 3 + 18 / 9 + (1 + 2) / 1 = 8
RTA CPU load caused by subscription: 8 * 0.3% = 2.4 %

Section 8 System Administration Fault Finding and User Repair
Section 8 System Administration
System Diagnostics
The AC 400 Series Controllers produce a number of event and alarm messages to
inform you about errors concerning the Advant Master system. These Advant
Master specific system alarms are found in a System Alarm List aspect on the
network object together with the 800xA system alarms. The System Alarms are
presented in plain text.
Fault Finding and User Repair

Here are some hints on how to identify the cause of malfunctions within
the Advant Master System. It could be difficult to decide whether the problem you
see is a problem within the process, or a problem within the Advant System system.
There are some tools you can use for your trouble shooting:
• System Status aspects
• System Alarm List aspects
• RTA Board aspects
• Communication aspects
System Status
The System Status presents the status of the control system. It presents the result
from the control system internal supervision programs. The System Status is
available for the Network, the Operator Workplace node, and the Controller node.
System Status Viewer

The System Status Viewer shows status of different parts in the system. System
status information can be available for both software processes and hardware units.
3BSE030340-510 113
System Status Section 8 System Administration
The System Status Viewer aspect can be located on objects on different levels in all
structures.
The System Status Viewer shows all objects that provide system status information.
All status information in the System Status Viewer is updated dynamically when a
change of status occurs.

As a start you should have a look at the System Status for the entire network.
Go to the Control Structure in Plant Explorer, select the Network object, and then
the System Status Viewer aspect.
Figure 75. System Status for the Network
In this case you can see that there is something wrong with the AC 450 Controller.
The next action should be to study the System Status for this controller.
3BSE030340-510 115
System Status - Operator Workplace Node

The System Status for the Operator Workplace node itself is presented if you select
the Operator Workplace node, and the System Status View aspect in the Control
Structure. See Figure 76.
Figure 76. System Status View for Operator Workplace Node
To continue identifying the source of the error, study the system messages,
especially those that have been sent from the faulting service. If no obvious error
can be found, such as disk full or similar, the service error should be reported to the
supplier, see Fault Finding and User Repair on page 113.
116 3BSE030340-510
System Status - MB 300 Control Network

The System Status for a MB 300 control network is presented if you select the

System Alarms
System Alarms provide valuable information for fault tracing. By default, you have
a System Alarm aspect on the Network object in your Control Structure. You should
use it since it will give you an overview list for all system alarms in your system.
Two types of Advant Master System Alarms exist:
• System alarms from MB300 nodes
• System alarms from Services
System Alarms from MB300 nodes

System Alarms from MB300 nodes do not indicate the current state of the alarm if
the alarm is active or inactive and are always removed from the alarm list after
acknowledged. All these system alarms have the priority level three. An example of
the Object Name and Condition for a System Alarm from MB300 nodes is “MN
STATUS Conn. lost netw/node 11 52”.
Do not delete objects related to Advant system alarms which may be created in
Control Structure > Lost&Found if any character conversion other than
English is selected in RTA Board Control aspect or if the Advant system alarms
are rephrased.
System Alarms from Services

Section 8 System Administration Backup/Restore Procedures
Backup/Restore Procedures
General backup procedures are described in IndustrialIT 800xA, System,
Maintenance (3BSE046784*).
Backup
Backup the following as described below:
• RTA Board Configuration
• Network Configuration Settings
• Time Server Setting

Changing language settings (character conversion) will change to the default
configuration.
You use the RTA Board Control aspect to save changes to the configuration of the
RTA board. Use Plant Explorer to locate the Control Structure, the MB300 Network
object, the RTA Board object, select the RTA Board Control aspect, and then the
RTA Board Configuration tab.
This view contains a RTA Board backup button. When you have made changes to
configuration data on the RTA Board, you shall save the new configuration (if not,
the changes will be lost after the next restart of the RTA Board or PC). Click on the
RTA Board backup button and check the log messages that are presented in the
text window. If there are no errors, the new configuration has been saved (and will
automatically be loaded to the RTA Board at startup).
The RTA board configuration files are locally stored on the computer with the RTA
board. If you want to export the files for backup or for importing to another machine
with an RTA board, you can do as follows:
Path: \ProgramData\ABB\AC400Connect\AdvantBase\Data\RTA\Init
In order to view and access the ProgramData folder, in the Windows Explorer, go
to Tools > Folder. The Folder Options dialog appears, select the View tab and
choose Show hidden files and folders option.
Save these three files on a safe location, such as a CD or other server.

Network Configuration Settings

To backup the network configuration settings for an RTA Board:
1. Select the Control Structure, a Server node object, and then an RTA Board
object.
2. Select the RTA Board Control aspect, and then the Network/Node
Configuration tab.
3. Relevant settings are the values of:
– Network Number 1
– Network Number 2
– Node Number
– Time Server Setting
4. Write down these settings and store the information on a safe location, such as
a CD or other server.
Restore
When you make a restore, you first have to make a general 800xA restore as
described in IndustrialIT 800xA, System, Maintenance (3BSE046784*).

To restore the configuration for an RTA Board, copy the three files you saved during
backup from the safe location to the folder\..\ProgramData\ABB\AC400Connect\
AdvantBase\Data\RTA\Init. (If prompted, answer Yes to replace existing files).
Before you restore these three files you have to make sure that the system to
which you restore to, is running on the same “Character conversion language” as
the machine from where you took the dump.

Advanced Connectivity Server Configuration Section 8 System Administration
Advanced Connectivity Server Configuration

There are two configuration possibilities if it is desired to connect more than 20
controllers to one system, or if it is needed for performance reasons:
• A second Connectivity Server (single or redundant pair) can be connected to
support up to 20 additional controllers.
• Split the MB 300 Control Network into two or several networks (maximum of
six). The multiple Connectivity Servers function allows several MB 300
Control Networks to be connected from a common 800xA System.
Connect Several MB 300 Networks to an 800xA System

Multiple Connectivity Servers allow you to connect several MB 300 control
networks from a common 800xA System.
To add multiple Connectivity Servers to your Aspect System, see IndustrialIT
800xA, System, Post Installation (3BUA000156*).
Add Multiple Connectivity Servers to the Same MB 300 Network

A maximum of four pair of connectivity servers can be configured on the same
MB300 network, to reduce the load on existing connectivity server(s). The steps
specified below describe how to add a second connectivity server pair. The third or
fourth pair are added correspondingly based on the described steps.
1. Follow the steps below to configure a second single connectivity server for a
MB 300 network:
a. Add a connectivity server by performing the Add Connectivity Server
task in the Configuration Wizard.
b. Select Add RTA in the Configuration Wizard. Assign the same network
tens as the primary network, but change the last digit to something
different, e.g. by adding 2 to the number (enter 13 if primary network
number is 11). To avoid confusion, do not use the next consecutive
number as this normally indicates network redundancy (11 and 12).

d. Configure the RTA Board event filtering to avoid duplicated alarms and
events. See Defining Event Filter on Node Level on page 78. Remember to
backup the RTA Board configurations.
e. Add controller objects to the networks. Use the real network and node
numbers. Perform an MB 300 Upload for each controller. Optionally,
perform a TTD Synchronization (Upload) to create log configurations.
2. Follow the steps to configure redundancy for the second Connectivity Server:
a. Add a redundant connectivity server via the Add Redundant Server in
the Configuration Wizard.
b. Perform procedure b-d in Step1.

3. Follow the steps below to move controllers already assigned to the first
Connectivity Server, without having problem with history logging and data
subscriptions:
a. Move selected controllers from the first network to the other network by
using drag and drop.
b. Make a dummy modification in the Adapter Data Source Definition aspect
of the MB 300 Network object from which the node is moved.
c. Restart all Basic History Services on both connectivity servers involved in
the move.
d. Restart all services with active subscriptions towards the moved controller
node in all servers.
4. Verify the things below:
– Each network shall have one Service Group for the following services:
AdvMbStatusList, Alarm Logger, Basic History, Event Collector,
MasterBus TTD Configuration Server, MasterBus TTD Data Server and
OpcDA_Connector.
134 3BSE030340-510
Section 8 System Administration Required Settings to Make an Upload from a Client
– The following aspects of the MB 300 Network objects shall refer to its
corresponding Service Group: Adapter Data Source Definition, Quick List
Data Source, History Source and TTD Source. For example, the Adapter
Data Source Definition of Network 13 shall refer to “SG_Network 13”.
– Use the System Status Viewer in the Service Structure to verify that all
related services have started up and are running without error.
– Verify that it is possible to subscribe for live data from all controllers.
5. Renaming of Network Objects and Service Groups:
In order to get a more user friendly naming it is possible to rename Network
objects and Service Groups in the Plant Explorer. For example, “Network 13”
can be renamed to “Network 11_2” and corresponding Service Groups can be
renamed to “SG_Network 11_2” and “Basic 11_2”.

Appendix A Event Treat Elements
Introduction
When an event occurs it is analyzed in the Controller. As a result of that an
information package is sent to the Operator Workplace server. Using your Operator
Workplaces and functionality you can study the alarm and event information in
various formats. The presentation of an Alarm or Event generated in
an AC 400 Series Controller is made according to the specified event treatment.

Figure 89. Alarm and event handling
The alarm and event message includes:
3BSE030340-510 139
• NAME of the object, for example “MOTOR 2”.

• DESCRIPTION of the object, for example “Conveyor 2”.
• A set of status flags for the internal control.
• Pointers to elements (EVENT) in the Event Treat data base, where the event is
described.
Each Process and System object contains at least one pointer to the Event Treat data
base. A digital input. DI for example, contains two Event Treat pointers, ERR_TR
(Error Treat) and VALUE_TR (Value Treat).
ERR_TR is used for internal signal errors when the ERR flag changes status.
VALUE_TR is used for process events and process alarms when the signal value
(VALUE) changes status, possibly together with the process error flag
(DISTURBANCE).

AL_TOBLK - Alarm To Block. Blocks alarm handling of a supervised alarm

signal/flag when it makes a 0 -> 1 transition. Since most alarm signals/flags are
active high, AL_TOBLK should be set = N (No) to invoke alarm handling for 0 -> 1
transitions and = Y (Yes) to disable it.
AL_FRBLK - Alarm From Block. Blocks alarm handling of a supervised alarm

signal/flag when it makes a 1 -> 0 transition. Since most alarm signals/flags are
active high, and since alarm handling on return to normal makes little sense,
AL_FRBLK should normally be set = Y (Yes).
PERSISTB - Persistent Alarm Block. Should be set = N (No) when alarm

handling is required and = Y (yes) when it is not.
142 3BSE030340-510
TEXT_TOBLK - Text To Block. Flag that blocks generation of text in lists and
printouts when the alarm/event changes from 0 ->1.
TEXT_FRBLK - Text From Block. Flag that blocks generation of text in lists and
printouts when the alarm/event changes from 1 -> 0.
TEXTCOMB - Text Combination code. Integer to select if standard or User

defined property text and event text shall be used.

in the Upload. If you leave the list blank, all object types are included (this is the
default).
3BSE030340-510 149
Using the From FCB Tab to Upload Appendix B MB300 Uploader
The following object types are valid for Upload:

• All object types located in MB 300 Process Objects group.
• Bus and Station object types under Advant Fieldbus 100, Lonbus and Profibus.
• S400 MasterFieldbus object type.
Selecting Type of Upload

You can select three types of upload from this view.
• Check the Create Uploader Source File and Build Control Structure check
boxes to build the Control Structure based on information from the engineering
software FCB (Function Chart Builder). You have to fill in the name of the
FCB Database File (ODB file) to retrieve information from. This choice
requires that FCB is installed at the same node.
• Uncheck the Create Uploader Source File check box and check Build
Control Structure check box to build the Control Structure from a previously
created Uploader Source File (OCD file). You have to enter the name of the
Uploader Source File. This choice does not require that FCB is installed at the
same node. See Building the Control Structure On-line on page 37.
• Check Create Uploader Source File and uncheck Build Control Structure to
create a Uploader Source file based on the information from the engineering
software FCB (Function Chart Builder). You have to fill in the name of the
FCB Database File (ODB file) to retrieve information from, and the name of
the Uploader Source File (OCD file) to create. This option does not update or
create the Control Structure. Can be used to produce the OCD file for other
800xA systems using the same controllers. This choice requires that FCB is
installed at the same node.
Starting the Upload

Click on the Start Upload button when you are ready for the upload. The window

Appendix C Event Texts Motor Control MOTCONI
Motor Control MOTCONI

Alarms and events in this context are divided in three groups:
• Warnings, alarms from the Motor Controller Unit (MCU) which does not trip
the motor. Acknowledge by operator. Color: Yellow
• Alarms, alarms from the MCU which trips the motor. Acknowledge by
operator. Color: Red.
• Events, appears only in the event list. Not able to acknowledge. Color: Green.
Some alarms are reported from the PC element MOTCON directly, such as
communication error. Most events and alarms are however generated and time
stamped in the Motor Control Unit itself, for best possible time resolution, and sent
via the LONWORKS network to the Controller.
Figure 96 below shows the principles for how the events are translated and
associated to proper texts in the Operator Station.

Motor Control MOTCONI Appendix C Event Texts
In principle, the following processing is done in the Controller for every event
message received from the MCU via network variable 2040:
• The LONDEV data base element that represents the sending device (MCU) is
recognized.
• The LONDEV data base element points out three objects, of type MMCX. One
object for warnings (ALOBJ1), one for alarms (ALOBJ2) and one for
events(ALOBJ3). Each MMCX object can deal with up to 32 different
warning/alarm/event indications. The event message is then forwarded to each
alarm object.
• The MMCX object in it’s turn forwards all state transitions to the Operator
stations for presentation according to defined treatment and texts defined by
terminals I1_TR or I2_TR. The treatment is divided in groups represented by
data base element Event Treat. For each group different handling can be
selected for status changes 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 respectively see Table E-6.
It is possible to block the update of events and alarms in different manners. It could
be done either from the operators dialog affecting all alarms and events from each
MCU. Separate alarms could be blocked by the bit masks I1_EVBLK and
I2_EVBLK in MMCX data base element. The terminal EV_BLK in LONDEV data
base element could also be used to block events received from each MCU.
The translation of events and alarms for MOTCONI is described below. They are
divided into four groups. For each group one data base element MMCX is needed.
The groups are:
• Alarm from MOTCON PC element
• Warnings directly from MCU
• Alarm directly from MCU
• Events directly from MCU

The treatment of events and alarms in Operator Station (such as color of event line,
audible alarm or not, text line appearance) is defined in the EVENT Treat database
element. The table below describes the predefined settings for different Event Treat
elements for MOTCONI.

This section describes the principles for events and alarms, the standard event texts
for DRICONE main data base element and DRICONE fault and alarm data base
elements. The section contains also a layout of the Event Treat configuration for
DRICONE.
Figure 97 shows diagrammatically the relation between indications and the
parameters which can be used to block event handling for certain indications and
points out a required handling in the operator’s station.
The possibilities of the operator to block event printouts and alarms are shown under
the heading ‘Event and alarm blocking’ below.

Figure 97. Event Handling Principles
The events are divided into groups. One pointer is allocated to each group which
means that the individual events of the group are, in several respects, handled in the
same way in Advant Station 500 Series Operator Station. For each group different
handling can be selected for status changes 0-->1 and 1-->0 respectively. The texts
which are written out in different lists are individual for each event. The group
3BSE030340-510 195
Engineered Drive, DRICONE Appendix C Event Texts
division - which events are associated with the pointer - is given in ‘Event
description with standard texts’ below. This also specifies which event handling is
obtained as default and which alternative standard function.

Standard Drive, DRICONS

This section describes the principles for events and alarms, the standard event texts
for DRICONS main data base element and DRICONS help data base element. The
section contains also a layout of the Event Treat configuration for DRICONS.
Figure 98 shows diagrammatically the relation between indications and the
parameters which can be used to block event handling for certain indications and
points out a required handling in the operator’s station.

Figure 98. Event Handling Principles
The events are divided into groups. One pointer is allocated to each group which
means that the individual events of the group are, in several respects, handled in the
same way in Advant Station 500 Series Operator Station. For each group different
handling can be selected for status changes 0-->1 and 1-->0 respectively. The texts
which are written out in different lists are individual for each event. The group
division - which events are associated with the pointer - is given in ‘Event
3BSE030340-510 217
description with standard texts’ below. This also specifies which event handling is
obtained as default and which alternative standard function.

Appendix E Control Aspect
RTA Board Control Aspect

The RTA - Real-Time Accelerator Board - is an intelligent communication board for
connection to the MasterBus 300 network on which the AC 400 Series Controllers
communicate. The RTA Board Control aspect makes it possible to perform some
maintenance and fault tracing work on the board.
The RTA Board aspect is located on the RTA Board object under the network object
in the Control Structure. See Figure 99 for a fast location of the RTA Board control
object and its aspects.
Figure 99. Locating the RTA Board Control Aspect
Select the RTA Board Control aspect using any of the possible techniques for aspect
selection.
3BSE030340-510 233
RTA Board Control Tab Appendix E Control Aspect
The aspect has three tabs:

• RTA Board Control, see RTA Board Control Tab on page 234.
• Network / Node Configuration, see RTA Board - Network and Node
Configuration Tab on page 237.
• RTA Board Configuration - see RTA Board Configuration Tab on page 238 for
details on how to use it for configuration.
RTA Board Control Tab

This tab is useful for the following purposes:
• You can request the current status of the board
• You can Start and Stop the RTA Board (for example after changing the network
address or if it has halted).
Figure 100. RTA Board Control
The aspect view contains a Progress log, the Current Status and the following
buttons:
234 3BSE030340-510
Appendix E Control Aspect RTA Board Control Tab
Start
Loads the RTA Board load image and the previously saved configuration and starts
the RTA Board in Operational mode.
Stop
Stops the RTA Board. A warning message, see Figure 101, will pop-up and must be
acknowledged before the stop command is executed.
Figure 101. Confirming the Stop of the RTA Board
If you stop the RTA Board, the Operator Workplace server does no longer collect
any data from the AC 400 Series Controllers, and can not be used to monitor or
control the process during the time the RTA Board is stopped.
Get Status
Requests the current status from the RTA Board, and presents the result in the
window. (Status is also updated cyclically).

RTA Board - Network and Node Configuration Tab

You use this tab to change the network and node addresses on the MB 300/AC 400
network.
Figure 102. RTA Set Network and Node
The tab contains the following:
Network Number 1
Network address (network number) for the normal MB 300 network.
Network number range: 11-19, 21-29, 31-39,...81-89, 91-99, 126-127.
Network Number 2
Network address (network number) for the redundant MB 300 network.
Redundant network number range: 0, 11-19, 21-29, 31-39,...81-89, 91-99, 126-127.
Redundant network number 0 indicates no redundant network.
Node Number
Node address (node number) for this node. Node number range: 1-99.
3BSE030340-510 237
RTA Board Configuration Tab Appendix E Control Aspect
You must be very careful when setting up network and node numbers. If you get
two nodes with identical addresses, the entire network communication could be
disturbed with unpredictable consequences. Changing network and node
numbers should normally only be necessary when the control network is
rearranged.
Use the buttons in the figure as follows:
• Click Cancel to interrupt the input.
• Click Apply to set the new network address (network/node number). You must
restart the RTA Board to get the new network/node address to take effect (see
RTA Board Control Tab on page 234).
• Click Help to get information about this window.

Appendix E Control Aspect Control Connection Aspect (CCA)
Control Connection Aspect (CCA)

There is a CCA for all process and system objects. The CCA:s can be useful to trace
problems specific for a certain object or for the presentation of an object.
Configuration of this aspect is preferable done on the object type, but can also be
done locally for each instance in the Control Structure. The CCA has a number of
tabs, here is a short description of some of the tabs and how you can use them in
your trouble shooting. For more detailed information about the tabs see IndustrialIT
800xA, System, Configuration (3BDS011222*).
CCA Property View Tab

The CCA Property View tab, see Figure 103, gives you a list of all the properties,
their data format and how they can be accessed. If you mark the Subscribe for live
data check box, you will also get the current value of all properties updated
cyclically.
Figure 103. CCA Property View Tab
Use this tab to verify the property values of an object, how they are configured and
the current property values to compare with other presentations of it. If you suspect
an error in a node, an I/O board or a transducer, you can use the CCA:s to narrow in
3BSE030340-510 239
CCA Property Info Tab Appendix E Control Aspect
on the problem by verifying which objects that are available over the network and
which are not - and what their status properties tell you.
The CCA Property View tab gives you a complete list of properties, their names,
data type, access.
A “-” before the update rate value enables “on event” updating, of the values in
between the cyclic updates according to AC 400 Event handling. If you locally
change the update rate in a graphic display, “ - “ must be included if you want the
“on event” updating to be activated. Acceptable numbers are: -1000, -3000 and
-9000.
CCA Property Info Tab

The Property Info tab presents all details about the selected property. An example of
a Property Info tab is found in Figure 104.
The Property Info tab includes the possibility to set the definitions for the
Property values. To define property value handling and to set these values could
severely affect the control of the industrial process, including loosing control of
the process. This functionality is only included for testing and fault tracing, and
should not be used during normal operation. Do not change any Property values
unless you are fully aware of all the consequences.
240 3BSE030340-510
Appendix E Control Aspect CCA - Additional Info Tab
Figure 104. CCA Property Info Tab
The following Property values are presented in the dialog box:

• Type - Type of value (boolean, integer, float, etc.).
• Name - The name of the property.
• Update Rate - The default update rate for this property (in ms).
• Description - A user friendly name of the property. This name can be
presented in Audit Trail lists.
• R/W - Flag that indicates if the property is Readable and/or Writable.
• Permissions - Defines the Read and Write permissions for the property.
• Flags - Indicates how the property is updated.
CCA - Additional Info Tab

The Additional Info tab presents details on property specific information.
The example in Figure 104 presents information about an analog value.
3BSE030340-510 241
CCA MasterBus 300 Tab Appendix E Control Aspect
The Additional Info tab includes the possibility to set definitions for the values.
To define value handling and to set these values could severely affect the control
of the industrial process, including loosing control of the process.
This functionality is only included for testing fault tracing, and should not be
used during normal operation.
Do not change any Additional Info values unless you are fully aware of all the
consequences.
The following Additional info values are presented and could be changed:
• Normal Maximum - Maximum range value (for an analog value).
• Normal Minimum - Minimum range value (for an analog value).
• Engineering Unit - Engineering unit for this property.
• No of Decimals - This value should be presented with this number of decimals.
• Presentation Mode - Defines if this value should be presented between the
discrete points in trend curves: Stepped (value is constant between points) or
Interpolated (value is linear between points).
The Additional Info values are changed when you click on the Set button.
The Presentation Mode makes it possible for you to select the default presentation
mode in Trace presentations: Stepped or Interpolated, see IndustrialIT 800xA,
Operations, Operator Workplace Configuration (3BSE030322*) for more
information.
CCA MasterBus 300 Tab

The MB 300 tab presents detailed address information about the MB 300 object.
The following information is available for each object:
• The MasterBus 300 address: Network number, Node number, Logical file
number, Logical record number, Reference type.
• The ID property number of each attribute.

Appendix H Special Configuration Alarm and Event
Appendix H Special Configuration
Some special behavior of Alarm & Event OPC server and Data Access (OPC DA)
can be obtained by editing the configuration files located in the “800xA for Advant
Master” installation folder in the connectivity servers. This is only recommended in
very special occasions and should only be done by system engineers with thorough
knowledge of the system. Notepad or Excel application can be used to edit the file.
The numbers in bold below should be altered according to description for each
parameter.
Alarm and Event

Examples of special configuration of Alarm and Event are:
• Mapping of Priorities to OPC Severity.
• Handling of events to 3’rd party clients.
The concerned configuration parameters reside in the following file in each
connectivity server:
C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Operate IT\AC 400
Connect\bin\AdvMbAeOPCServer.csv
Search the relevant line and alter the numbers to a suitable value according to
comments in the file. After modifying the file, restarting the event collector is
needed.
Mapping of Advant Master Priorities to OPC Severity

PriorityDef,1,875,
PriorityDef,2,750,
PriorityDef,3,625,
PriorityDef,4,500,
PriorityDef,5,375,
3BSE030340-510 263
Alarm and Event Appendix H Special Configuration
PriorityDef,6,250,
PriorityDef,7,125,
The values in bold (the OPC severity) above can be altered and the range can be
from 1..999. Note that the value must be lower than previous line.
For more informtaion on how to map OPC Severity into 800xA Priority Level, see
the “Advant Master OPC Event Server” Alarm Collector definition, aspect Alarm
Priority mapping.
Definition of severity for Advant Operator Logging

By default, the severity of events from OperatorLogging (MB300) category is
defined by the EventTreat DB element. This can be overridden by altering the
parameter as given below:
SeverityOperatorLogDef,0,
Severity 1..999 is allowed
Use description text from controller in Alarm/Event lists

By default, the description from Name aspect is presented in the ObjectDescription
column. The Name aspect is updated at Upload from the controller.
UseRemoteDescrDef,0,
0=Use Description text from Name Aspect (Default).
1=Use Description text from controller.
Keep System Alarms in Alarm List after acknowledge

By default system alarms are removed from alarm list when acknowledged.
RemoveSystemAlarmWhenAckedDef,1,
0=System Alarms remain in list after acknowledge.
1=System Alarms are removed from list when acknowledge (Default).
264 3BSE030340-510
Appendix H Special Configuration Alarm and Event
Sending of Events to third party clients

By default, no process events (only alarms) are sent to third party clients. The user
can customize the behavior using the following three parameters.
1. Switch for sending of events as OPC type Simple.
SimpleSendModeDef,0,
This is used to send events as OPC type Simple to clients using the category
SimpleProcess(MB300).
0 = No sending (default)
1 = Send Process Events as OPC type Simple
2. Switch for suppress events of OPC type Condition. It avoids dual events if
SimpleSendMode switch is enabled.
NormalSendModeDef,0,
This is used to suppress the events of OPC type Condition using the category
Process(MB300).
0 = No (default)
1 = Yes
3. Selections of text in Message attribute.
SimpleMessageModeDef,0,
This is the content of Message attribute from category SimpeProcess(MB300).
0 = Only Message (default)
1 = Description + Message
2 = Condition + Message
3 = Description + Condition + Message
3BSE030340-510 265
Data Access Appendix H Special Configuration
Data Access
One example of special configuration of Data Access is the configuration of Data
Subscription flow control. The configuration parameters concerned reside in the
following file in each connectivity server:
C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Operate IT\AC 400
Connect\bin\AdvDsMasterAdapter.csv
Find the relevant line, and alter the numbers to a suitable value according to
comments in the file. Restart of the OPC DA Service provider is needed after some
modifications.
Enable function Advant Operator Logging

UseEventTrackingDef,0,
0 = Off (default).
1 = On.
No restart is needed for this parameter.
Controller nodes not supporting fast write to DAT object

Older controllers (of type MP2x0) do not support the protocol for fast write to DAT
objects. With this parameter it is possible to define those nodes and thus use the
suitable protocol. Enter the node numbers for these (max 20) nodes. -1 = All nodes:
SlowDatNodeDef,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
Restart is needed for this parameter.
Data subscription flow control

This data subscription flow control function divides the items in one OPC DA
subscription request call (AddItem and RemoveItem) into several chunks with delay
in-between. This is useful particularly when having large subscriptions from 3'rd
party clients. This function prevents jam in data communication on MB300 when
clients are started, which could lead to high controller load and lost subscriptions. A
too slow setting will affect the display call up time negative.
266 3BSE030340-510
Appendix H Special Configuration Data Access
How to configure:
By default, each AddItem and RemoveItem request is divided into chunks of 2000
items with a delay of 1000ms between each chunk. The parameters below can be
altered to achieve a more evident flow control. No restart is needed after the
parameters have been altered. Just save the configuration file:
AddItemsChunkSizeDef,2000,
AddItems requests with more items than this will be split up in several chunks with
delay in between. Allowed value: 100.. 2000.
AddItemsChunkDelayDef,1000,
Delay time in ms between each chunk of added items. Allowed value: 0.. 4000.

Since the PU410 unit includes a supervised fan, it is recommended to check the fan
and vacuum clean the unit from time to time.
If a fan problem is detected, the red fault LED will be illuminated and the unit
will shut down. The 800xA for Advant Master connectivity server will try to
restart the unit. The red fault LED will still be illuminated until the unit is reset,
even if the fan problem disappears.
The red fault LED can illuminate for other problems as well.
The red fault LED will also illuminate for a few seconds at PU410 start-up.

Connection To Connectivity Server

The PU410 unit has two ports called PC 1 and 2 for connection to the connectivity
server. Only one port is necessary for the communication but if redundancy is
wanted both ports can be used.

• Always use shielded Cat 5e (or better) twisted pair cross-over cables to reduce
electric noise disturbances. The maximum cable length is 30m but keep cable
length as short as possible.
• The default IP addresses of PU410 are for the PC 1 port 172.16.168.50 and for
the PC 2 port 172.17.168.50.
• The recommended IP address for the Network Interface Card, NIC, in the
connectivity server is 172.16.168.1 with subnet mask 255.255.252.0 when
using single cable.
Figure 5. Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
• The default IP address of PU410 and identical IP address of NIC can be used in
multiple connectivity servers as 172.16.168.x and 172.17.168.x are ‘local’ IP
addresses.
• When using dual cables, the IP address of the additional NIC in the
connectivity server is recommended to be 172.17.168.1 with subnet mask
255.255.252.0. The status of the dual connection can be viewed in the RNRP
network event monitor.
3BSE030340-510 275
• When the connection between connectivity server and PU410 is lost. For
example, due to communication problem or power loss in PU410, it will be
reported in the connectivity server after four seconds and appropriate actions
will be taken. The connectivity server will periodically try to reconnect and
restart PU410.
• The PU410 unit communicates with 100Mbit/s on the PC 1 and 2 ports. It is
recommended to configure the network interface card in the connectivity server
to 100Mbit/s full duplex.
Figure 6. Example of NIC Configuration
• RNRP is used to supervise the communication between the connectivity server

and PU410. The detection time for lost communication will increase from 4s to
at least 30s if RNRP is not configured correctly. No additional RNRP
configuration is required when the default implicit configuration of RNRP is
used.
• If the default implicit configuration of RNRP is modified, an explicit
configuration of RNRP must be added for the PU410 connection. Configure
“Network area” to 10 and “Network area local" to 1 if the default IP addresses
for PU410 are used.
276 3BSE030340-510
• The IP address and subnet mask of PU410 can be modified by a tool, but this is
required only if Network area 10 (NetId 172.16.40.0) is already used in the
connectivity server (refer to Modify IP address of PU410 on page 277).
RNRP requires the IP address of the first port of PU410 to always start with
172.16. The default IP addresses of PU410 are restored by pressing and
holding down the reset switch of PU410 for about 20 seconds until the yellow
IP LED is lit.
Modify IP address of PU410
The IP address of PU410 shall be modified only if NetId 172.16.40.0 is already

used in connectivity server.
Execute the following steps to modify the IP address of PU410.
1. Start the ManagementTool.exe located in C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial
IT\Operate IT\AC 400 Connect\RTADriver\ManagementTool.
2. Select the IP Config view and click Get.
3. Modify the IP settings and click Set.
The modified IP address will be effective when the PU410 is reset, in the Reset view
or by pressing the reset switch of PU410 unit.
3BSE030340-510 277
Figure 7. IP Config view of Management Tool
After modifying the IP address of PU410, the Target IP address of Management

Tool must be modified in the Settings menu to get contact again. The Target IP
address is shown at the bottom left in the Management Tool.
A registry setting must be modified in the connectivity server to match the modified
IP address of PU410 (see Figure 8). Right click the IP address, select Modify from
the context menu, and enter the Primary IP address of PU410. This modification is
effective when the connectivity server is restarted.

• The MB300/eDCN RJ-45 connectors must be connected to a converter,

repeater, that converts RJ45 interface to AUI interface.
• Note that the AUI to 10Base5 transceiver must be powered with 12Vdc 0.5A
from the repeater to work. Therefore the repeater must have its own power
supply.

• Always use shielded Cat 5e twisted pair straight-through cables for connection
between PU410 and the repeater to reduce electric noise disturbances. The
maximum cable length is 30m but keep cable length as short as possible.
• The AUI cable between the repeater and the 10Base5 transceiver must have
locking posts at the repeater end and a sliding latch at the transceiver end
(standard AUI fixing).

Replacing The AdvaCommad Unix Workstation With 800xA

The AdvaCommand Unix workstation has an internal RTA board for connection to
the MB300 Control Network. If this board is an ISA board (PU513, PU513V1,
PU513V2) it can not be reused in the 800xA connectivity server. Instead the PU410
unit must be used.
If the Unix workstation has a PCI RTA board (PU515A) it may be possible to reuse
it since this board can be connected to internal 3.3V and 5V PCI buses as well as the
PCI-X bus (3.3V). But if the Unix workstation has another PCI board (PU515,
PU519) it may not be possible to reuse it since those boards only can be connected
to 5V PCI bus. In this case the PU410 unit must be used.
