1.3 Hardware Installation

ENGLISH
TSX Premium PLCs are connected to the networks, bus and data communication link
using PCMCIA communication cards.
The connected card consists of a metal case with dimensions conforming to the type III
extended PCMCIA format.
The Jnet function is in the form of two cards in type III extended PCMCIA format :
• TSX JNP 112 which supports a physical layer consisting of a 20 mA current loop link
• TSX JNP 114 which supports a physical layer consisting of an RS485 link

The PCMCIA cards only use the Jnet protocol and can only be installed in the relevant
slot in the TSX SCY 21601 module of TSX Premium family PLCs.

Comment :
Under no circumstances handle PCMCIA cards when powered up.

The cards are installed and operated using PL7 Junior programming and operating
software for TSX Premium PLCs.

___________________________________________________________________________

 1.4 Limits
ENGLISH

Number of JNET modules per PLC : Jnet is an asynchronous communication channel

which the system can assign as a Jbus or Unitelway communication channel. It is
therefore counted as an "expert channel".
A maximum of three JNET channels can be installed in one PLC.

1.5 Operating Standards

The TSX SCY 21601 module and PCMCIA communication cards conform to the
following international standards :
• US standards : UL508, IEC 1131-2

2.1 Mounting PCMCIA Cards

ENGLISH
Type III E (extended) PCMCIA communication cards are integrated in a metal case with
the following dimensions :
• length 85.6 mm
• width 51 mm
• height 10 mm

The front panel of the card displays communication operations and the physical network
connection.

The mechanical configuration of the card

can be adapted to the type of installation
required. The PCMCIA card is mounted
either with a removable cover fitted with
two lugs, or with a plain removable cover.
The plain removable cover (1) is for con-
necting PC-compatible devices.
The removable cover with lugs (2) has
fixing screws for physically linking it to the
host module (PCMCIA card inserted in the
TSX Premium processor for example).
1

Note : Only the removable cover with lugs (2) is supplied with a PCMCIA JNET card which can only
be mounted on an SCY module for the TSX Premium PLC.

The card is connected to the network via the connection cable on the front panel. A
locating system avoids incorrect mounting. The product reference label informs the user
of the type of physical layer supported by the card.
Note
The use of covers with lugs on PCMCIA cards avoids any accidental removal of the card while
powered up and ensures that the card operates correctly.

 2.2 Connecting the PCMCIA Card Host Channel
ENGLISH

2.2-1 Precautions When Connecting the PCMCIA Card

The PCMCIA card must be handled when powered down. Operation of the unit is not
guaranteed when inserting or removing the card. There is no warm restart procedure for
the PCMCIA card when used with the TSX SCY 21601 host device.
If, owing to the operating environment, the application cannot be stopped by powering
down the PLC processor, we recommend that you remove the TSX SCY 21601 module
with the PCMCIA card.
The PCMCIA card must be equipped with the appropriate cover for the PLC version
used and be screwed into the TSX SCY 21601 host module before powering up the unit,
as described in the installation manual for TSX 57 PLCs (ref. TSX DM 57F/N, part D).

The diagram above shows the general architecture of an RS 485 network.

Tx+
(A)
Transmitters are symbolized by : Tx–
(B)
Rx+
(A')
Receivers are symbolized by : Rx–
(B')

The network is made up of a single shielded twisted pair. The various network stations
are connected simply by connecting :
• all outputs marked + (Tx+, Rx+) to the + wire of the network marked (L+)
• all outputs marked - (Tx-, Rx-) to the - wire of the network marked (L-)
The network impedance is adapted using two impedance matching resistors (Rc)
located on the two end stations of the network.
The network is polarized by connecting the L+ wire to the 0 V and the L- wire to the 5 V
via the two polarization resistors (R = 470Ω). The polarization causes a current to flow
continuously through the network. This adaptor can be located anywhere on the
network.
It must be unique for the entire network irrespective of the network length. For
maintenance purposes, it is advisable to mark the cable of the station performing the
polarization function for easy identification.

2.4-3 Connecting to the JNET Network

The TSX JNP 114 PCMCIA card is connected to the JNET network using the
TSX SCP CM 4030 serial connection cable. This cable is connected to the TSX SCA 50
T-junction box or the TBX 0010 junction box.

Type of connection
The cable of the PCMCIA card has bare wires at the end for connection to the terminal
block located inside the junction box.

TSX JNP 114

TSX SCP CM 4030 TSX SCA 50

Comments :
• The length of the user cable (3 m) enables a device to be connected to a
TSX SCA 50 or TBX 0010 junction box located within a 3 meter radius of the card.
This length ensures that it can be connected inside a standard enclosure.
• The cable shielding is grounded via the PCMCIA card.

• For the two end stations, the impedance matching resistor ADP must be
connected between EMI+ and EMI- (the card makes the internal connection to
EMI-).The wires from terminals 13 and 2 must be connected.
• On one station (only) the line must be polarized using the 470 Ω Pull-up and Pull-
down resistors on the PCMCIA card. Connect Pup (terminal 20) to EMI+ (terminal
11) and Pdw (terminal 18) to EMI- (terminal 12)

Important :
When connecting to S1000 PLCs, EMI+ must be connected to L- (Rx-/Tx-) and EMI-
must be connected to L+ (Rx+/Tx+).

3.1 Presentation of the JNET Function

ENGLISH
3.1-1 Principle of JNET Exchanges
JNET exchanges are based on the principle that each PLC broadcasts a word memory
zone (broadcast or local zone) to the other PLCs in the network.
PLC No. 1 PLC No. 2 PLC No. n

▲
▲
Words Words Words

The total number of words exchanged constitutes a table : Exchange zone.

Exchange zone
x Words Broadcast zone of first PLC

y Words Broadcast zone of second PLC

z Words Broadcast zone of last PLC

This zone must be defined in each PLC and have the same length in each PLC.
Example :

PLC i PLC j
%MW100 PLC 1 zone %MW250 PLC 1 zone

128 words

___________________________________________________________________________
3/1
 3.1-2 Setting Exchange Zone Parameters
ENGLISH

The exchange zone must be included in the memory zone for type %MW data (16-bit
words).
The characteristics of this table are given in the JNET configuration screen.
The exchange table is divided into local broadcast zones.
• The size of the exchange table is limited to 128 words maximum.
• The size of the local zone is limited to 64 words maximum and must contain 1 word as
a minimum.
• The size of the exchange table reserved in a station is equal to the sum of the sizes of
the zones produced by each station.
• The broadcast zones must be contiguous and in ascending order by station number.
• Each broadcast zone is assigned to 1 PLC.
• The broadcast zone for PLC x must have the same length in all PLCs.

Example

PLC No. 1 PLC No. 16

%MW100 %MW250
PLC No. 1 PLC No. 1
%MW104 broadcast zone %MW254 broadcast zone

PLC No. 2 PLC No. 2

%MW106 zone %MW256 zone

PLC No. 31 PLC No. 31

%MW223 zone %MW373 zone

PLC No. 32 PLC No. 32

%MW227 zone %MW377 zone

3.1-3 Broadcasting Data

ENGLISH
PLC no. 1 broadcasts data from its broadcast zone to all PLCs.

PLC No. 1 Write PLC No. 16

PLC No. 2

▲
Write
PLC 1 Z. PLC 1 Z. PLC 1 Z.

▲
PLC 2 Z. PLC 2 Z. PLC 2 Z.

• PLC n Z. : broadcast zone assigned to PLC n

PLC No. 2 then broadcasts data from its broadcast zone to all PLCs.

PLC No. 1 PLC No. 2 PLC No. 16

PLC 1 Z. PLC 1 Z. PLC 1 Z.

PLC 2 Z. PLC 2 Z. ▲ PLC 2 Z.

▲

PLC No. 3 then executes this procedure and so on through to the last PLC. It is then the
turn of PLC No. 1 again.

For a 16 station configuration the maximum exchange of 64 words between all 16 PLCs
takes approximately 110 ms on the network.
This applies if all stations send data simultaneously.

• Each JNET card only sends its broadcast zone if the content has changed since the last
transmission : the card sends a "data frame".
• If the content has not changed, the JNET card only transmits a right-to-send or a TOKEN
for the next station.
• Additional information on exchange times is available in the appendix.

 3.1-4 Updating Data in the CPU
ENGLISH

The JNET function ensures continuous data exchange between network stations. This
data circulates on the network in a way that is totally transparent to the user.
Data from other stations is stored in the module as it is received.
The PLC memory is updated as frequently as possible on the initiative of the CPU, via
message exchanges at the end of the program scan (optimally on each program scan).
Data exchange between the CPU and the module is automatic and not conditioned by any
change in value: this ensures data consistency between the CPU and the JNET module.

On CPU start-up the word zone assigned to the JNET network is either :
• not initialized
• at zero
Therefore, as long as there has not been a JNET network cycle to update all data in the
modules and a program scan to transfer this data to the CPU, the JNET memory zone in
the CPU is not significant : as a precaution, the use of JNET data during the first PLC
cycles must be suspended.

 3.4 Operating and Fallback Modes
ENGLISH

3.4-1 Definition of Operating Modes from a JNET Perspective

Station in Run
• The JNET and SCY modules are both OK. The application program (MAST task) is in
RUN.
Station in Stop
• The JNET and SCY modules are both OK. The application program is not operating
(program in Stop mode or software fault) or the application is in partial Run (one of the
tasks is stopped).
Station absent
• The application program is stopped by a breakpoint or is in step by step mode.
• The CPU is faulty.
• The SCY module is faulty (no effect on JNET module).
• The JNET module is off.
To summarize :
"JNET station status" JNET PCMCIA card SCY CPU Appli. prog.
RUN OK OK OK OK (Run)
STOP OK OK OK /OK (/Run)
ABSENT OK OK OK step by step mode
or breakpoint
ABSENT (*) OK OK /OK x
ABSENT (*) OK /OK x x
ABSENT /OK x x x

x : not applicable
(*) in both these cases, the JNET PCMCIA module is OK but either the CPU or the SCY
is faulty (no effect on the PCMCIA card).
The JNET module is then Absent (ie. no longer participates in exchanges on the JNET
network): this is identical to the behavior of the JNET S1000 module when the CPU is
disconnected (or the green wire is cut).

3.4-2 Behavior of Stations in Each Case

Station in Run
• Exchanges are occurring on the network.
• The other PLCs are informed of the PLC operating mode via the network.
• The local zone, if changed, is transmitted on the network.
___________________________________________________________________________
3/12
 Software Installation 3

ENGLISH
Station in Stop
• Exchanges are still occurring on the network.
• The station in Stop mode updates data from other stations which are in Run mode.
• The other PLCs are informed of the change in the PLC operating mode.
• The zone assigned to the PLC is processed by the other PLCs in accordance with the
operating mode specified in the configuration screen (RESET or FREEZE station
zones) :
- reset data in zone to zero
- keep the last values received
• Fallback occurs once the station is perceived to be in Stop mode.

Station absent
• If the wiring allows (especially in current loop configuration), the network continues to
operate in downgraded mode.
• Fallback occurs in the same way as for a station in Stop.
• Fallback occurs once the station is perceived to be absent or transmitting invalid
frames (CRC error) for three consecutive network cycles.

3.4-3 Behavior of the JNET Module when a breakpoint is set in the program
When the application program is stopped by a breakpoint or is in step by step mode,
the JNET module no longer participates in exchanges on the JNET network, it is then
absent for the other stations.
The ERR indicator lamp (red) of the JNET module is flashing indicating an operational
fault.
To quit the step by step mode is not sufficient to restart the module exchanges. It is
necessary to perform a stop command followed by a RUN command (with the
programming unit or a RUN/STOP input) to remove the operational fault.

3.4-4 Behavior of the JNET Module During Backup on Memory Card

For the JNET module to restart correctly after a transfer to a Backup memory card it is
necessary to perform either a PLC warm restart (power break/return) or a cold start.
Removal of the Backup memory card after a transfer automatically causes a cold start.

 3.5 Performance
ENGLISH

3.5-1 General
The JNET function ensures continuous data exchange between 32 stations on a network.
This data circulates on the network in a way that is totally transparent to the user.
Data from other stations is stored in the modules as it is received and periodically sent to
the CPU.
The exchange table is the same for each network station and thus constitutes a memory
extension (virtual memory) for each station. It is thus important to know the maximum time
required to exchange a data item.
Data is only exchanged if a change of status is apparent in the PLC broadcast zone.
Detection of a change in status is managed by the JNET card and is not a function of the
user program.
Once a station has detected a change in status it can only send its broadcast zone if it has
the token, i.e. its right-to-send.
The graphs (section 3.5-4) show the maximum rotation time for the token as a function of
the number of stations connected to the network.
The first graph shows the cycle time for the token at maximum load, i.e. when each station
has detected a change of status each time it has the token. This is clearly a study case:
however the graph shows the maximum time period.
The second graph is more representative of reality. In this case it is assumed that on
average each station detects a change of status every second.

Comment :
The graphs (section 3.5-4) only show data transmission time on the JNET network
itself. The time to update the data in the PLC memory must be added to this (section
3.5-3).

3.5-2 Impact of a JNET Channel on the PLC Scan Time

The impact of a JNET function on the MAST task scan time is approximately 5 ms
maximum.

___________________________________________________________________________
3/14
 Software Installation 3

3.5-3 Response Time Between Applications

ENGLISH
Exchanges between the CPU and the JNET module are via messages.
The response time between applications is as follows (worst case scenario) :

MAST

MAST
▲

27 ms ▲
1 JNET network
cycle
▲
▲

▲

Updated data (at the

end of the MAST task)

The maximum response time between applications is therefore :

27 ms + JNET network cycle time + 2 MAST scans(on condition that the MAST
task is longer than 30 ms).

Note :
The JNET network cycle time represents the rotation time for the token (sections 3.5-1 and 3.5-4).
