What Will I Use MAGELiS For?

The XBT-H models of MAGELiS terminals provide operators with a message
center to access information about a process or about alarms that may be
occurring. The XBT-H also allows an operator to change values in PLC registers
by ramping values up or down. The XBT-P and XBT-E models provide
operators an interface with the process that allows changes to be entered for
various PLC registers. These changes can be specific entries as well as ramping.

an application, you need to perform the tasks outlined in the following steps.
Step 1. Launch the XBT-L1000 Software
To start the XBT-L1000 software, locate the icon for it in the Windows Program
Manager. Click on the icon for the XBT-L1000 software to launch it.
Step 2. Open a New Application
The first time you use the newly-installed XBT-L1000 software, no other
applications will have been developed. You will be automatically prompted to
select the correct terminal type configuration (go on to Step 3).
If this is not the first time the software has been used, an application window
automatically appears when you start the software. If you want to open another
application than the one showing, select File/Close to close the one that opened
automatically, then select File/New... (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Opening a New Application


Creating an Application June 1997
Step 3. Select an XBT Type

In the window that appears next, you will select the XBT terminal type that you
are using, for example, the XBT-P021110.
Figure 4: Terminal Type Configuration Window
In the Commercial References box, try highlighting different XBT models. Notice
how each one is pictured, showing its function keys and whether or not it has a
printer link.
Step 4. Select a Protocol

In the same window, you will need to select the protocol that you will be using.
The protocol you select depends on the type of PLC you will be connecting to
the MAGELiS XBT terminal. In many cases, the selections in the dialog box will
be appropriate and you will not need to change them. If you should need to
change the communication baud rate, parity, or time-out value later on,
however, this is where you would change these values.
a. For the purposes of this example, be sure that MODBUS is selected, and
then click on the Parameters button. The following dialog box appears:
Figure 5: Protocol Parameters Configuration Dialog Box


b. Note that for Modbus protocol, you will need to change the Parity setting
to Even.
c. Click on [OK] to confirm your selection in the Parameters Configuration
window.
d. Click on [OK] in the Terminal Type Configuration window if you have
selected the appropriate XBT model and protocol.
Step 5. Enter Text on an Application Page
After you have clicked on [OK] in the Terminal Type Configuration window, the
page editor window is visible, with page 1 showing (see Figure 6).
Figure 6: Page Editor Window

In page 1, type:
Parts to be made
Press the Enter key to go on to the next line.


Step 6. Enter Variable Fields
Now try typing:

Quantity:
After the quantity, you might want to put in a variable field for a changing value.
To create a variable field:
a. With the cursor where you want the variable field to be, click on the
icon. The Insert Field dialog box appears:
Figure 7: Insert Field Dialog Box
b. Modify the word number by typing 1 in the Associated variable box, in the
i field. This means that you are assigning PLC Register 40002 to this
field.
c. Modify the field length by typing 3 in the Length box.
d. Confirm your entries by clicking on the [OK] button.
The Quantity line should now look something like this:
Figure 8: Entering Text in the Page Editor Window


Step 7. Create Links to Other Pages
Now create a link from page 1 to page 2 by following these steps:

a. Click on the icon. The following window appears:
Figure 9: Create Link Window
b. Click on [OK] to automatically create a link to the right, or page 2.

(This has the same effect as pressing the button and then
clicking on [OK].) The Create Application page window appears.
Figure 10: Create Application Page Window
c. You can create a page with any page number, but under most
circumstances, you would probably want to have pages in sequential
order. You can also change the name of the application page if you want to
name it something more descriptive. For this purposes of this example,
leave the Number and Name fields as they are, and click on [OK]. The
application page 1 reappears:
Figure 11: Creating a Link in the Page Editor Window


Notice that since you linked a page to application page 1, there is a symbol to
the right of the Quantity field that indicates another page is linked. You can see
what page is linked by looking at the Page Tree window.
To view the Page Tree window, if it is not already

displayed on the screen, select the Window menu
header and then select Page Tree.
The Page Tree window appears on the screen (Figure

12), showing a hierarchy of the application pages.
Figure 12: Page Tree Window
Step 8. Entering Text and Variable Fields in Other Pages
You may first want to read pages C-22 through C-25 in the XBT MAGELiS Range
User Manual for information about entering and modifying variables.
To enter text in the newly-created application page 2, follow these steps:

a. Click on Page 2 in the Page Tree window.
b. Place the cursor back in the Appli 1 window, on the first line. Type the
following lines:
Production Control
No. of Products =
Note: For this example, be sure to put spaces around the equals sign.

c. To enter a variable field after No. of Products = as you did in Step 6,

follow the same process, but this time you will use a different word
number.
First, click on the icon. The Insert Field dialog box appears:
Figure 13: Insert Field Window
Note: Whenever the Insert Field window appears, check that the Associated
variable box shows 40001+i. If it has changed to show 40001+i,j, the Object box
shows Bit instead of Word. If you want to assign a word and not a bit, be sure
to change the Associated variable box back to 40001+i, which will assign a word
instead of a bit.
d. Check to be sure that the Object box shows Word, and that the Type is
Decimal.
e. Modify the word number by typing 2 in the Associated variable box, in the
i field. This will point to Register 40003. You must press the Enter key to
complete this step.
f. Try to modify the field length by typing 3 in the Length box.
Notice that you cannot enter 3; the maximum you can enter is 2. What
should you do to get a three-character field?
You need to go back to the Appli 1 window and change the text line so that
a three-character field will fit.
To change the text line in the Appli 1 window, first return to the Insert Field
dialog box by clicking on the Cancel button. Then adjust the text field; for
example, you could remove the spaces from around the equals (=) sign:
No. of Products=


Once youve done that, go back to the Insert Field dialog box and change
the field length to 3. Notice that the maximum length is now 4, and you can
have a three-character field. (See Figure 14.)
Figure 14: Modifying Field Length

g. Confirm your entries by clicking on the [OK] button.
Step 9. Modifying Variable Fields

You can make a field a read-only field (no one will be able to edit or change
values in that field). To do so:
a. Double-click on the field you want to change.
b. Click on the icon. A Modify Field window appears:
Figure 15: Modify Field Window
c. Click on the Options button to bring up the Options window:


Figure 16: Modify Field Options Window
d. In the Access box, select Read.

e. Click on [OK] to confirm your selection.
f. Click on [OK] in the Modify Field window.
The No. of Products = line should now look something like this:
Figure 17: Editing Text on Sample Application Page 2


Step 10. Create Alarm Pages

You may first want to read about alarms and alarm pages in the XBT MAGELiS
Range User Manual, pages A-13 through A-14, and C-26 through C-34.
Now that you have created two application pages, you might want to create an
alarm page. To do so, follow these steps:
a. Click on the icon. The Create Alarm Page window appears.
Figure 18: Create Alarm Page Window
b. Click on [OK] to accept the default. The default is to associate the alarm
page you are creating with bit 0 of the first alarm word. The alarm page
editor window (Appli 1-1: Alarm 1 )appears.
(Note: The number of this PLC word is created when you configure the dialogue
table. Alarms must be identified in the dialogue table or they will not work. See
Section D in the XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual for information about the
dialogue table.)
Figure 19: Alarm Page Editor Window


c. The first line of an alarm page is already created and reserved for the time
initiation of the alarms. Starting on line 2, enter the text of the alarm, for
example:
Fault: Jam at exit
Step 11. Configure Terminal Parameters

a. To have an application page displayed by default,
select the Configuration menu header, then select
the Terminal Parameters option. The Terminal
Parameters Configuration window appears (see
Figure 20):
Figure 20: Configuring Terminal Parameters
b. Deselect System Page by selecting Application Page instead.

c. Make sure that 1:PAGE 1 is highlighted.
d. Verify that the appropriate language selection for system messages is
correct.
e. Confirm by clicking on [OK].


Step 12. Configuring the Dialogue Table
If you want to have some or all functions of the MAGELiS terminal to be

handled automatically by the PLC, you must use the dialogue table. The
dialogue table is set up as a series of contiguous PLC registers where values are
stored. The PLC can modify these values to control the MAGELiS unit.
You may first want to read more about the dialogue table in Section D of the
XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual.
To configure the dialogue table, follow these steps:
a. From the Configuration menu header, select
the Dialogue Table option. The Dialogue Table
Configuration window appears (see Figure 21,
following):
Figure 21: Configuring the Dialogue Table
b. Select Number of the displayed page from the Dialogue Table (Selected
functions) box, then click on the Delete button. This moves the selected
function into the lower box, Available Functions.
Note: Double-clicking on the function also moves it from one box to the
other.
c. For more practice in moving functions, try moving Authorization to the
Available Functions box.


d. Click on the Modify button to change the address. The Type DialogTable
Address window appears.
Figure 22: Type Dialog Table Address Window
e. Type 10 in the Associated variable box next to the i:. This designates the
beginning of the dialogue table to be at W10.
f. Click on [OK]. The Dialogue Table Configuration window reappears.
g. Select Alarm table from the Dialogue Table (Selected functions) box.
h. In the Size Selected Function box, check that 1 appears in the Words field (1
is the default).
i. Confirm your dialogue table selections and entries by clicking on the [OK]
button.
Step 13. Setting Alarm Priority
You can set the priority of an alarm from 1 to 16, with 1 being the highest
priority. Alarms are by default set to priority 1. If you want to change the
priority of an alarm, do the following:
a. From the Page menu header, select Priority... . The Priority dialog box
appears.
Figure 23: Priority Dialog Box

b. Change the alarm priority value as needed, and click on [OK].


Step 14. Saving the Application
To save the application, select File, then select Save As... . The Save as window
appears. Change the directory and file name as needed. The default name for
an application is Appli1.dop.
Figure 24: Save As... Window
Step 15. Using the XBT-L1000 Software to Work with Function Keys
Assigning function keys to certain PLC words and bits is described on pages
C-38 through C-39 of the XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual.
Use of the MAGELiS terminal function keys is described on pages C-20 and
C-38 of the XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual.
Locking function keys is described on pages C-40 and C-41 of the XBT
MAGELiS Range User Manual.


June 1997 Simulating an Application
MODULE 4: SIMULATING AN APPLICATION
Once you have created an application, you can test it with the XBT-L1000
software without having to connect your PC to a MAGELiS terminal.
Before you simulate the application, if your PLC has an address other than 1,
you will first need to change the address in the Equipment Symbols window. To
do so, follow these steps:
1. Select Configuration from the main menu bar.
2. From the pull-down menu, select Equipment Symbols.
3. From the Equipment Symbols Configuration window that appears, click on
the Modify button. The Equipment window appears (see Figure 25).
4. In the Address field of the Equipment window, change the address and
click on [OK].
Figure 25: Changing a PLC Address in the Equipment Symbols Windows
To now simulate the application, you need to connect the PC to a PLC that is not
being used for an active process. Use the appropriate cable (this depends on
your type of PLC) between the PLC and the PC. Refer to the pinouts provided
in Appendix A of this manual if you need information about specific
connections.


Simulating an Application June 1997
To set a port for simulation:
Figure 26: Simulating an Application: Configuring a Port

1. From the main menu bar (shown in Figure 26), select Simulation, then
select Configuration. The Simulation Configuration window appears:
Figure 27: Simulation Configuration Window
2. Select either COM1 or COM2, as appropriate, and click [OK].
To simulate an application:
1. From the main menu bar (Figure 26), select Simulation, then select
Simulation Application. The screen goes black, and then a representation
of the XBT faceplate appears. After a few seconds, you will see what the
XBT would actually look like if your application were active. System
messages will also appear if there are problems with the application.
2. To leave the simulation screen, hold down the Alt key and press X. If you
need to troubleshoot the application (if you received error messages),
make any necessary changes and then run the simulation again.
Note: Simulation uses almost all of the PC hardware resources. It is advisable to
close all active Windows applications before you begin the simulation. If you
have a screen saver running on the PC, you may avoid problems by turning it
off before simulating applications.
For information on common troubleshooting problems and procedures, see
Appendix I of this manual.


June 1997 Connecting the PC to a MAGELiS Terminal
MODULE 5: CONNECTING THE PC TO A MAGELIS TERMINAL
Once you have created an application and simulated it so that you are satisfied
with its operation, you can then connect the PC to the MAGELiS terminal and
upload the application into the terminal. This module explains how to connect
the PC to the MAGELiS terminal. Module 6 explains how to upload the
application.
1. To connect the PC to a MAGELiS XBT terminal, first power up the

June 1997 Viewing and Acknowledging Alarms
MODULE 8: VIEWING AND ACKNOWLEDGING ALARMS
General information about alarms appears on pages C-26 through C-27 of the
XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual.
Alarm display priority and what happens when an alarm occurs is described
on pages C-29 and C-30 of the XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual.
Viewing and acknowledgment of alarms is discussed in detail on pages C-31

through C-34 of the XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual.
General Information About Alarm Pages
An alarm page has a maximum of 25 lines and is associated to a word bit

through the dialogue table. Up to 256 alarm pages may be used.
The first line of an alarm page is for display of the date and time of the alarm as
well as its priority and the number of active alarms. The alarm page can contain
variable fields, but they are not modifiable by users.
For each alarm page, there are two other parameters in addition to the display
priority:
Acknowledgment (ACK)
Alarm relay (only on the XBT-E model)
If the alarm is configured so that a user must acknowledge the alarm, the alarm
remains active until it is acknowledged by the user. Users can choose to ignore
alarms by pressing the ESC key, which causes the alarm display to disappear
and the application page to be displayed.
What Happens If an Alarm Occurs?
If an alarm occurs, the ALARM LED flashes and the alarm page is displayed,
unless an entry is being made at the time. If no alarm is active, the ALARM LED
is not lit. It is lit continuously if an alarm is active and the user chooses to ignore
it by pressing the ESC key.
If the cause of the alarm is cleared, then:

If the ACK parameter has been selected, the alarm remains in the list.
If the ACK parameter has not been selected, the alarm disappears from the
buffer and the display.


Viewing and Acknowledging Alarms June 1997
If the cause of the alarm is not cleared, then:

If the ACK parameter has been selected, the alarm must be acknowledged
by pressing the Enter key. If the cause of the alarm still remains, the alarm
is logged and remains in the alarm list.
If the ACK parameter has not been selected, pressing the Enter key logs the
alarm and it remains in the alarm list.
After the last alarm has been acknowledged and all alarms are cleared, the LED
goes out.
How Does Alarm Priority Work?
Each alarm page has a display priority from 1 to 16, with 1 the highest priority.
For example, if the terminal displays an alarm page of priority 5 and another
alarm with priority 5 to 16 occurs, the original alarm page continues to be
displayed. If an alarm with priority 1 to 4 occurs, the alarm page with the
highest priority is displayed.
Viewing the Alarm List
The alarm list consists of all the current or unacknowledged alarms that have
occurred. Use the Shift + Enter key combination to view the alarm list. Use the
left and right arrow keys to scroll through the alarms.


June 1997 Viewing and Printing Alarm Logs
MODULE 9: VIEWING AND PRINTING AN ALARM OR

APPLICATION LOG
The alarm log is a history of all past alarms, and is available on selected models
of MAGELiS terminals. The alarm log is stored in RAM and is not saved if a
power failure occurs.
Section C, pages C-35 through C-37, of the XBT MAGELiS Range User Manual

June 1997 Appendix B: About Dialogue Tables
APPENDIX B: ABOUT DIALOGUE TABLES
More information about dialogue tables is contained in the XBT MAGELiS

Range User Manual. The information presented here may help to illustrate the
material presented in that manual.
To simplify the communication between a MAGELiS terminal and a PLC, all

data commands from the PLC to the terminal and status data from the terminal
to the PLC are grouped together in a table called the dialogue table.
Composed of n consecutive words (16-bit words), the dialogue table has three
parts, as shown in Figure 33:
Status data from the terminal to the PLC
Concerns the following states:
- The terminal status,

confidential mode,
terminal configuration mode,
confirmation of entries via ENTER key, P
abandon entry via ESC key, A
abandon entry after a time-out, R
terminal printing, T
terminal printing fault,
printing suspended, A
- Number of displayed page,
- Number of last field entered,
- Image of keypad keys,
- Real-time clock status (date and time),
- Occupancy rate of log as a percentage,
- Communication monitoring,
- Number of last alarm accepted.
Data associated with variable fields

P
A
These are variables which may be: R
T
- displayed on the terminal,
- entered or modified via the terminal. B
Command data from the PLC to the terminal
Concerns the following commands:
- Display an application page, P

A
- Display alarm pages, R
- Lock keys, T
- Enter requests for a variable field,
- Print command, C
- Control of indicator lamps associated with function keys,
- Clear log command,
- Set real-time clock command.
Figure 33: Dialogue Table Structure


Appendix B: About Dialogue Tables June 1997
The number of words in the table depends on the choice of status data and
commands that are to be processed via the dialogue table. The XBT-L1000
software is used to make this choice.
The dialogue table is a word table consisting of three parts (A, B, and C). It is
located in the PLC. The terminal reads and writes the table to the PLC (see
Figure 34). You do not have to write an additional PLC program for the
communication link.

Figure 34: Dialogue Table Data Exchange
! WARNING
UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION
The PLC memory zone allocated for the XBT dialog table must NOT be used for anything
else. The designer must program PLC logic properly.
Failure to observe this precaution can cause death, severe injury or equipment
damage.
When the terminal is powered up or communication is restarted, it reads from

the command table and writes to the status table.
In the event of a problem, a message box appears on the screen.
Contents of the Dialogue Table
The number of words in the table depends on the choice of states and
commands that are to be processed via the dialogue table.


The notation convention for describing the table is:

Wn: word of 16 bits
Wn, i: bit i of word n
The address n is taken as the start of table address.
The table has a maximum of 46 words.
Table 1 defines the dialogue table words.

Wn+16 contains the print command information. The print code designates the
type of print function:
Free format print: 01
Print sheet: 02
Print log: 03
For free format printing, the PLC gives the length in bytes of the information to
be printed (maximum 40 words) in the LSB. The terminal reads the length given
in word table to the end of dialogue table address + 1. For sheet printing, the
LSB represents the number of sheets.
The word print required is written by the PLC. The PLC may write 'FFFF'
(hex) to this word, thus stopping any printing in progress. The same word is


written to 'FFFF' (hex) by the XBT terminal, to acknowledge the end of the
command. The designer may choose this printing function.
Wn+17: Authorization
MSB LSB
For a table 23 words long, the PLC can write to the authorization word 'A517'

Dialogue Functions
Depending on the MAGELiS XBT terminal selected, the dialogue table in the
XBT-L 1000 software will be different. See Appendix C: Chart of XBT Terminal
Functions by Model on page 69 for a list of the accessible functions as well as
the functions selected by the default table for each type of terminal.


Authorization Word
The Authorization word is the first word of the command part of the dialogue
table (Part C). This word provides security for the PLC. If this word does not
contain the correct value, the PLC will not permit the XBT terminal to write any
word to the PLC. Figure 39 shows the structure of the Authorization word.
Wn: MSB = H'A5 LSB = Length of the dialogue table
Figure 39: Authorization Word
Note: Using the Authorization word is a verification for the PLC. If this word
is not at the correct value, the terminal cannot write any word to the PLC.
- The authorization word is not compulsory.
- It is systematically present in the dialogue table offered by the XBT-L1000

software.
- You should retain the word in the dialogue table as long as the table
contains at least one word to be written by the XBT terminal.
Communication Control Word
The communication control word is incremented regularly by the MAGELiS

XBT terminal. If this word is configured by the XBT-L1000 software, it allows
the PLC to know if the terminal is powered and properly connected.
! WARNING
UNINTENTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION
If communications between XBT and PLC are lost, the operators control over the
machine may be lost completely or partially. It is the designers responsibility to program
PLC logic that accounts for this situation. An appropriate method is to monitor Wn+4 of
the dialogue table from the PLC program.
Failure to observe this precaution can cause death, severe injury or equipment
damage.
Real-Time Clock Control Words
The configuration of these 4 words is useful if the MAGELiS XBT terminal is not
equipped with a hardware real-time clock. If the PLC has a real-time clock, it
can update the software real-time clock of the XBT terminal.


Note: If the terminal is not equipped with a hardware real-time clock, you can
adjust the time of the terminal by entering internal XBT words (in an
application page) or by entering the date/time in the Configuration menu.
! CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Since all alarms are always time/date stamped and the control program may rely on the
XBT terminals real-time clock, you must set or verify the XBT terminals date and time
after every new installation, repair, disassembly, shipping, or battery charge.
Failure to observe this precaution can cause equipment damage or production
loss.

June 1997 Appendix D: Communication Protocol
APPENDIX D: COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL INFORMATION
The information provided in this appendix is intended only to be a general

guideline. It should not be used as a substitute for the process controller
manuals. Be sure to refer to the individual product documentation.
XBT/PLC Communication Using UNI-TELWAY Protocol on

RS-232 or RS-485 Links
Communication is established through the programming port of the TSX 17.
The MAGELiS terminal occupies two addresses on the bus (cable address and
cable address +1):
The cable address is the server address; the MAGELiS terminal responds
to the PLC commands. It is used for the UNI-TELWAY service
commands (for example, identification request, mirror request).
The cable address + 1 is the client address; the MAGELiS terminal sends
commands to the PLC. This address is used for reading/writing variables
that are displayed on the application and alarm pages. It is equally used
for reading/writing to or from the dialogue table.
Note that the MAGELiS terminal is self-configured at the transmission speed of

the UNI-TELWAY master.
XBT/PLC Communication Using UNI-TELWAY Protocol on an XBT-Z 958 Link
The physical link is made by way of an XBT-Z 958 cable.
You must configure the UNI-TELWAY address for the programming port
(address 1) in the TSX 17 module. Effectively, it is the terminal that carries out
the polling of the slaves (2 slaves polled at 9600 baud). The XBT terminal is a
pseudo-master (it is not defined actually as the true master because it does not
assure the transmission from one slave to another). In this case, the equipment
address in the MAGELiS application is 0,254,0,254101.
XBT/PLC Communication Using MODBUS or JBUS Protocol
The MAGELiS terminal can only be a MODBUS or JBUS master. The

transmission speed, parity, and time-out are configured by the XBT-L1000
software.
Speed: 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200 baud
Parity: even, odd, or without
Time-out: default value = 30 (3 seconds)


Appendix D: Communication Protocol June 1997
XBT/PLC Communication Using Siemens (3964/3964R) Protocol
The XBT is a master; the process controller is a slave. The dialogue table controls
operation, and resides in the controller. The XBT, as a master, performs three
types of actions:
At the initiative of the automated system
At the initiative of the operator
At its own initiative
The dialogue is of the question/reply type, with the MAGELiS terminal as

master (requester) transmitting messages to the slaves.
Communications between a controllers processor and the MAGELiS terminal

with the 3964/3964R procedures are performed by exchanging messages in
both directions, point-to-point, and by means of an asynchronous serial link
coupler.
Communications link characteristics:

Speed: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200 baud
Parity: even, odd, or none
1 stop bit
RS232C, RS422, RS485 interface
Time-out: default value=220 ms
Encoding: 8 bit binary
The transmission speed, parity, and time-out are configured by the XBT-L1000
software.
XBT/PLC Communication Using Allen-Bradley (DF1) Protocol
The XBT is a client; the process controller is a server. The dialogue table controls
operation, and resides in the server. The XBT, as a client, performs three types
of actions:
The DF1 protocol (the communication protocol for Allen-Bradley controllers)

developed on the MAGELiS terminal can be used to communicate with the
following Allen-Bradley process controllers:
SLC-500
PLC-5
PLC-2, PLC-3, and PLC-4


June 1997 Appendix D: Communication Protocol
Communications link characteristics:

Speed: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200 baud; 9600 by default
Parity: none (default) or even
1 stop bit
RS-232C interface
Encoding: 8 bit binary
Depending on the type of process controllers in the range, the dialogue will be
supported by different types of frames:
Specific SLC-500 frames (if only SLC-500 controllers are addressed)
Specific PLC-5 frames (if only PLC-5 controllers are addressed)
Basic Command Set generic frames (if different types of equipment such
as SLC-500, PLC-5, PLC-4, PLC-3, and PLC-2 are addressed without
distinction)
Certain restrictions apply to the access to the controllers data depending on the
type of frame selected.
CAUTION: If using the Basic Command Set, you cannot write to an odd
address when linked to a PLC-5. Consequently, it is best not to use the dialogue
table.
The dialogue is of the question/reply type, with the MAGELiS terminal as
client (requester) sending messages to the servers.
Half/Full Duplex Link. The XBT can be connected in point-to-point mode, or
the network of 254 possible PLCs can be used via the polling system. This
characteristic is transparent to the user, and the XBT functions remain the same
except for addressing, which in the case of a point-to-point link is limited to the
directly connected controller (master).
XBT/PLC Communication Using OMRON (SYSMAC-WAY) Protocol
The XBT is a client; the process controller is a server. The dialogue table controls
operation, and resides in the server. The XBT, as a client, performs three types
of actions:
All OMRON controllers use the SYSMAC-WAY communication protocol. In

this protocol, the terminal communicates in ASCII mode.
The transmission speed, parity, and time-out are configured by the XBT-L1000
software.


Appendix D: Communication Protocol June 1997
Communication link characteristics:

Speed: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), or 19200 baud
Parity: even, odd or none
2 stop bits
RS-232C or RS422 interface
Encoding: 7/8 bits ASCII
The XBT can be connected to the controller in point-to-point mode via the RS-
232 connector, or an RS422 network can be used on which you can connect up
to 32 PLCs.
The dialogue between the higher processing levels and the MAGELiS terminal
is of the request/reply type. The requester (XBT master) transmits the messages
to the slave (PLC).
CAUTION: If you connect an XBT requiring writes to PLC memory in Run

mode, the PLC will switch to Monitor mode.
The configuration of the slave, addressed by default by the XBT-L1000 software,

is 0. Slaves are numbered 0 to 31 in SYSMAC-WAY protocol.
