 Preface

Introduction This quick start provides step by step instructions for using the CNC
Machining Accelerator Toolkit to help you design, install, operate, and
maintain a CNC work cell incorporating a GuardLogix Supervisory
Controller and FANUC Series 30i-B, 31i-B, 32i-B, or 35i-B CNC System.
Included are selection tools, layout and wiring drawings, and
pre-configured logic and HMI files to assist you in creating an Integrated
Architecture™ solution for your application requirements.

All the supporting files are included on the CNC Machining Accelerator
Toolkit DVD, publication IASIMP-SP018. The DVD provides PLC and
CNC selection tools; CAD drawings for panel layout and wiring; basic
status, control, and diagnostic logic files; FactoryTalk View ME faceplates,
and more. For a copy of the DVD, contact your local Rockwell
Automation distributor or sales representative. With these tools and the
built-in best-practices design, the system designer is free to focus on the
design of their machine control and not on design overhead tasks.

You can also download these same supporting files from the
Rockwell Automation® Integrated Architecture Tools website,
http://www.ab.com/go/iatools on the Beyond Getting Started tab.

Architecture and Hardware Selection

In this chapter you are introduced to the FANUC CNC Express software to create an EtherNet/IP bill of
materials for your CNC system. The CNC Express software provides the means to select hardware and software
from FANUC that are stocked locally in the United States. This is for reference only, and is not to be used for
final product selection. Please contact your local FANUC representative prior to purchase.

Use either the Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication IASIMP-SP017, and/or Safety
Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication SAFETY-CL002, to configure the Rockwell Automation system, or to
select the power distribution components for the CNC control system. Be sure that an 1756-EN2TR or
1756-EN3TR Ethernet module is selected for the Rockwell Automation system.

To assist you with a possible architecture and hardware selection, reference the CNC Work Cell machine
application. The CNC Work Cell machine application is an example only, with the focus of the toolkit being the
integration between the Rockwell Automation GuardLogix controller and the FANUC CNC.

See Figure 1 on page 16 for a CNC work cell application example.

Chapter 3 FANUC CNC Configuration

Logic Configuration
In this chapter you use the preconfigured PMC logic files and edit them specifically for your application. The
toolkit provides a preconfigured PMC file with application and device modules that significantly speed-up your
application logic development. An initial I/O configuration is provided as well, as an example only.

To assist you in understanding how to best use the preconfigured logic files, the CNC Work Cell application is
used as an example in all of the logic configuration steps.

IMPORTANT The overall machine CNC functionality and configuration is not being detailed or explained here. The CNC Machining
Accelerator Toolkit, and this quick start, provide the framework to communicate with the Rockwell Automation
GuardLogix supervisory controller.

IMPORTANT In this example, there is a supervisory PLC that manages an entire work cell consisting of a gantry, and two machining
centers. This PMC program is for one of the machining centers, but could be used interchangeably as a starting point.

In this example, the PLC is controlling the machining centers, sending commands over the EtherNet/IP network
to the FANUC CNC devices.

 FANUC CNC Configuration Chapter 3

The CNC architecture consists of two central processing units (CPUs), one specifically for the coordinated
machine motion (CNC), and one for the machine I/O and peripheral functions (PMC).

The CNC is the machine module in this example. It consists of proprietary software from FANUC, and is a layer
that is not accessible for modifications. FANUC provides a means to interface with a CNC by using pre-defined
system data table address registers. Refer to the FANUC documentation provided with your CNC for more
information.

Within the PMC, there are application modules and device modules. The modules are described below:
• Application Modules – The application modules execute the machine commands and provide the more
specific application commands for the CNCs functions. These modules must be defined, edited, and
completed for your specific application prior to final commissioning on a CNC machine. To complete the
proper handshaking between the PLC and CNC for the example project, these application modules have
been programmed with timers to simulate a response. Add the custom application code as necessary to
complete the programming for the specific application in these areas.
• Device Modules – The device modules translate the overall machine and application commands, and
provide uniform status and diagnostics from/to the very specific EtherNet/IP device tags. This reduces
much of the non-inventive code required to control and monitor the EtherNet/IP device.

The machine module provides a state machine model that coordinates multiple devices and application logic for
coordinated CNC applications. It provides overall machine commands, for example start, stop, abort, clear, and
reset to the application modules and the individual device modules based on the status of the applications and
devices.

The application modules execute the machine commands and provide the more specific application commands
to the CNCs and devices. They also coordinate the machine and application status, and execute the application
fault commands. In addition, the toolkit includes control logic examples to help you create your specific
application logic.

Create Specific Application Logic

Now that you have imported and configured all the machine, application, and device modules, you can begin
creating the specific application logic for your machine. You create your application logic within the
R10_ApplicationCode routine of the application module. There are two methods for creating specific
application logic for your machine. The two methods are described below:
• Preprogrammed Logic Examples – The first method involves selecting and importing preprogrammed
logic examples into the application code routine. These logic examples help familiarize less experienced
users with the basics behind using instructions for controlling FANUC CNCs via their add-on profiles.
These preprogrammed logic examples are designed to work seamlessly with the application module and
can help further reduce programming time.
• Write Logic from Scratch – The second method provides a blank template with placeholders if you
choose to write your application-specific logic from scratch. This method is recommended for users who
feel comfortable with the RSLogix 5000 software programming environment and who also have
experience with instructions used for controlling FANUC CNCs via their add-on profiles.

Application Code Logic Template Overview

To assist you in creating specific-application logic that interfaces with the preconfigured machine, application,
and device modules, a logic template is included in the R10_ApplicationCode routine of the application module.
It includes placeholders for both run and stop sequences. All of the application logic examples also follow this
same template.

IMPORTANT Program the stop sequence to make sure all active devices are properly stopped.

The run sequence is initiated by a machine START command via the start logic in the R03_Control routine of
the application module. By default, the run sequence is initiated by placing a value of 1 in the RunSEQ[0] tag.
When the RunSEQ[0] tag is set to 1, the first step in the run sequence is executed, starting the run sequence.
Each of the rungs in the run sequence provides a placeholder where you can insert application-specific step logic.
The Run-sequence logic may include, for example, CNC commands, and/or other conditional diagnostic logic.

The move (MOV) instruction is a placeholder to advance the run sequence to the next step by incrementing the
RunSEQ[0] tag. Each step in the run sequence requires a unique value assigned in ascending order. The steps
typically increase by multiples of five or ten. By default, the run-sequence template steps 1…10…20…30, and so
on. Before moving to the next step, a predetermined condition must normally be met to make sure the current
step is complete.

Figure 10 - First Run Sequential Step Example

This CNC Work Cell application code first-run step (RunSEQ[0] = 1) example includes a latch (L) instruction,
as well as a MOV instruction for assigning a simulation number, used for this example. Also, the RunSeq MOV
instruction indexes to the next sequence step (for example, value 3 into RunSEQ[0] tag). The next rung, that has
EQU RunSeq = 3 as its condition, is then executed, and so forth.

Figure 11 - Final Run Sequential Step Example

Much like the first run-step example rung, this CNC Work Cell final run step example also includes unlatch (U)
instruction, as well as a MOV instruction for assigning a simulation number, used for this example. The RunSeq
MOV instruction indexes to the next sequence step, a value of 1 this time, which will repeat the RunSeq steps. If
continuous operation is not required, the final step could end the run sequence, or remain at this step
indefinitely.

The move (MOV) instruction is a placeholder to advance the stop sequence to the next step by incrementing the
StopSEQ[0] tag. Each step in the stop sequence requires a unique value be assigned in ascending order. The steps
typically increase by multiples of five or ten. By default, the stop sequence-template steps 1…10…20…30 …999.
Before moving to the next step, a predetermined condition must normally be met to make sure the current step is
complete.

By default, the stop sequence ends when the StopSEQ[0] tag value reaches 999. The StopSEQ[0] tag is then
monitored in the R02_Monitor routine of the application module for a value of 999 and then sets the
ApplicationName.Stopped tag. The machine module monitors the ApplicationName.Stopped tag to determine
when the application was properly stopped.

Figure 13 - First Stop Sequential Step Example

This CNC Work Cell first stop step example includes a latch (L) instructions, and a MOV instruction, which
indexes to the next sequence step (for example, value 10 into the StopSEQ[0] tag).

Application Logic Creation Steps That Use Application Logic Examples

If you are unfamiliar with the Rockwell Automation general Logix commands, Logix motion commands,
FANUC CNC parameters, and/or are seeking common application methods for creating specific application
logic, use these steps to create your specific application logic.

Toolkit Application Logic Example Overview

The toolkit provides a variety of common application logic examples designed to help you create your specific
application logic. The logic examples are organized by the device modules they support.

The CNC Work Cell example supports a combination of a simulated gantry, and two FANUC CNCs for
machining.

 GuardLogix Configuration Chapter 4

CNC Work Cell Logic Example Overview

To assist you in understanding how to best use the logic examples, the CNC Work Cell application is used as an
example.

We recommend you study the CNC Work Cell gantry and machining applications to see the interaction of the
machine, application, and device modules within the application logic. The CNC Work Cell examples are
created by using basic CNC application examples included in the toolkit. After you’ve studied these examples,
create your own applications by using the basic CNC examples.

The CNC Work Cell application example is an excellent canvas to experiment with the other application
examples. The example includes two CNCs, so it is possible for you to import and study all of the application
examples.
Figure 15 - CNC Work Cell Application Example

Application Logic Creation Steps That Use a Template

If you are familiar with Rockwell Automation’s general Logix commands, FANUC CNC parameters and
commands, and have a good idea of your specific run/stop sequences, use these steps to guide you through your
specific application logic creation.

1. Formulate and list your run sequence steps.

2. Add your initial run sequence step (RunSEQ[0] = 1) to the R10_ApplicationCode routine of your
imported application module.
3. Add remaining run sequence steps (RunSEQ[0] > 1) and interlocks to remaining R10_ApplicationCode
routine rungs and adding run sequence rungs as required.
4. Formulate and list your stop sequence steps.
5. Add your initial stop sequence step (StopSEQ[0] = 1) to the R10_ApplicationCode routine of your
imported application module.
6. Add remaining stop sequence steps (1 < StopSEQ[0] < 999) and interlocks to remaining
R10_ApplicationCode routine rungs and adding stop sequence rungs as required.
7. Add your final stop sequence step (StopSEQ[0] = 999) to the R10_ApplicationCode routine of your
imported application module.
8. Determine any special reset logic requirements for your application and edit the R04_Reset routine in the
application module. See Appendix B for more information on logic module customization.

For other common application code requirements, not included in preprogrammed application modules
or logic examples, see Appendix B.

Safety Logic Integration

There are different ways to provide a safety system for a CNC machining work cell. This toolkit provides an
example of a supervisory GuardLogix safety controller that provides safety control for the two gantry drives, an
EStop, a light curtain, and provides safety interlocking with the Dual Check Safety systems of the two CNC
systems.

Safety I/O
The safety interface between the GuardLogix controller and FANUC CNC Dual Check Safety systems is
accomplished through the safety I/O of both systems. For safety category 3 and 4, two output channels and two
input channels of GuardLogix I/O are connected to two input channels and two output channels of the Dual
Check Safety I/O, as illustrated in Figure 18.
Figure 18 - Safety I/O Example

GuardLogix Dual Check GuardLogix Dual Check

Safety Outputs Safety Inputs Safety Inputs Safety Outputs

This wiring interface is included in the system layout and wiring library within this toolkit. Refer to the Dual
Check I/O and 1791 Guard I/O drawings.

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012 137

Chapter 4 GuardLogix Configuration

GuardLogix Safety Logic

The toolkit also provides example GuardLogix safety logic and associated FactoryTalk View ME safety
faceplates. The example GuardLogix safety configuration and logic is in the
CNC_Work_Cell_Logic_w_Safety.ACD file.

The file path is C:\Program Files\RA_Simplification\CMAT\A-Files\6-Project Examples\CNC-Work-Cell\.

For this example, one SafetyPoint input module and one

SafetyPoint output module is configured. The safety logic is located
in the Zone1 safety routine within the Safety Task.

The safety input and output logic is based on the example code
provided in the Safety Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication
SAFETY-CL002. You may use this toolkit to streamline your safety
wiring, logic, and HMI interface for your specific GuardLogix
project.

The Zone1 routine includes safety input logic for an EStop push button, light curtain, and Dual Check Safety
interlocks from the FANUC Drill and Machine CNC systems. The dual channel input stop instructions are
used for all of the inputs, but are configured a bit differently. See the rung comments for configuration
information for these examples:
• Zone 1 Emergency Stop Example – Figure 19 on page 139
• Zone 1 Light Curtain Example – Figure 20 on page 140

Safety Faceplate Logic

In addition to the safety logic, the Safety Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication SAFETY-CL002, includes
safety I/O faceplates that allow you to view the status of the safety circuits and logic, and provides diagnostics for
safety demands and faults. To communicate with these faceplates, preconfigured faceplate logic needs to be
added to your project’s standard task. The example faceplate logic for the CNC Work Cell application example is
found in the CNC_Work_Cell_Logic_w_Safety.ACD file.

The file path is C:\Program Files\RA_Simplification\CMAT\A-Files\6-Project Examples\CNC-Work-Cell\.

The safety faceplate logic is based on the example code provided in the
Safety Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication SAFETY-CL002. Use this
toolkit to streamline your safety wiring, logic, and HMI interface for your
specific GuardLogix project.

The faceplate logic was placed into a R03_Monitor routine of the

P08_GuardIO_FP program. See Figure 25 on page 145 for an example of
the logic.

The faceplate logic includes a copy instruction rung, a Guard I/O AOI,
safety reset rung, and fault reset rung for each Guard I/O module.

Design from a Preconfigured HMI Application File

If you are creating a new HMI application file for your system, use this section to configure your application file.
Using the preconfigured HMI application file is the most efficient way to create your application file. It includes
all of the displays, parameter files, and Alarm Setup File tags and messages required for all faceplates and devices.

If your existing HMI application file is not too extensive, it may still be more efficient to start from the
preconfigured HMI application file and copy your existing application displays, parameter files, and alarm
messages. Otherwise, follow the steps in Design from an Existing HMI Application File on page 162.

Restore and Open a Preconfigured HMI Application

1. Navigate to the HMI application files within the file folder of the toolkit and open either the
PanelView Plus 1000 or PanelView Plus 600 folder, based on the terminal size and faceplate requirements
of your application.

IMPORTANT The machine state diagram, alarm history faceplate, and equipment status faceplate are compatible with
PanelView Plus 700 or larger terminals. To take full advantage of all faceplates, choose the PanelView Plus 1000

Configure Equipment Status Faceplate Display

The equipment status faceplate display provides a summary status of the devices in your system and another
launch site for your individual device faceplates.

IMPORTANT This section is optional and necessary only if you intend to use the equipment status faceplate.

The equipment status faceplate files let you quickly load and configure a summary display of preconfigured status
and diagnostic displays or faceplates for FactoryTalk View Machine Edition. The equipment status faceplate
works in conjunction with individual device faceplates and provides a single summary display of all the device
faceplates that may be configured for an application. You can configure up to nine device faceplates to run with
the equipment status faceplate, and you can launch each device faceplate directly from the equipment status
faceplate.

7. Assign device faceplate Add-On

Instruction tags to all nine
parameters.

Each parameter #1…#9 corresponds to the device Add-On Instruction tag name of each machining status
faceplate Row #1…#9. You must assign the #1 parameter to a device faceplate Add-On Instruction that includes
the Inp_NumRowsVis assignment that was configured in Chapter 4.

The remaining parameters #2…#9 must be assigned to valid device faceplate Add-On Instruction tag names for
the machining status faceplate to operate without errors, even if corresponding machining status faceplate rows
are not being used or assigned to non-preconfigured devices. It is recommended to fill in the unused parameters
with the last valid Add-On Instruction tag name.

In the CNC Work Cell example we are only using four rows; therefore, parameter #1…#4 are assigned to the
corresponding device Add-On Instruction tags that we display in rows #1…#4.

The remaining parameters, #5…#9, are assigned

to the #4 row device Add-On Instruction tag
name, [CLX]Gantry_Y_Axis_FP, as a place

 FactoryTalk View ME Configuration Chapter 5

Configure Additional Device Value Columns

Not all device faceplates used with the equipment status faceplate are configured to display four value fields. If
unused value fields are needed, then additional logic will need to be added to the existing device Add-On
Instruction to move the additional Add-On Instruction tag values to the corresponding Sts_Valuexx tags.

In this example, preconfigured logic within a FANUC CNC faceplate Add-On Instruction is used to write
values to Values 1, 2, 3, and 4. Simply remove or change these values by using the MOV instructions to move
other values to Values 1, 2, 3, or 4 if desired.

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012 191

Chapter 5 FactoryTalk View ME Configuration

The same is true for the units displayed for each additional value field desired. You can write logic to move a
string value to the SetValueXUnits tag in the Add-On Instruction, or you can set the default string for this tag by
locating it in the local tags section of the Add-On Instruction as shown below.

This section provides general procedures for verifying the function of a completed CNC Machining Accelerator
Toolkit system.

IMPORTANT These commissioning procedures assume all applications are downloaded, all system devices are commissioned, a
personal computer with RSLogix 5000 software is available, and a PanelView Plus terminal is powered and connected to
the system’s EtherNet/IP network.

Verify Network Communication

Verify network communication between HMI terminal, Logix controller, and devices.

HMI Terminal to Logix Controller Communication

To determine if communication is lost between the HMI terminal and Logix controller, look for the following:
• Error messages on the diagnostic display
• Wireframes on the display

If there are communication problems with the controller, the diagnostic display lists messages (for example, CIP
Connection Error). If the HMI terminal can communicate with the controller, but it cannot read/write specific
tags, the diagnostic display lists similar messages (for example, Error Writing to xxxxx_Tag ).

The HMI terminal displays wireframes

and ????? on objects with tags it cannot
read from the controller.

These are a few of the most common problems:

• Hardware problem such as a Ethernet cable disconnected.
• Communication path not properly configured in FactoryTalk View software, Communication Setup.
• Tag names in the parameter files not matching the tag names in the controller.

206 Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012

 System Commissioning Chapter 6

Controller to Device Communication

Verify controller to device communication by observing the indicators on the controller’s communication
module and the devices in the controller’s I/O tree.

1. Observe the controller’s communication module.

Refer to the user manual for the specific module you are using.
1756-EN2TR
Status Indicator Status EtherNet/IP
OK Solid green Module

LNK1 Flashing green (indicates network activity)

LNK2 Off (flashing green if in a Device Level Ring configuration) LNK1 LNK2 OK

2. Open your RSLogix 5000 project, go online with the

controller, and observe the devices in the I/O tree.
A device with a yellow exclamation mark (!)
indicates a fault. The fault could be a
configuration fault, a device fault, or a
communication fault. View the quick pane in the
Controller Organizer to determine fault.

3. From the HMI, open the faceplate for the

individual CNC Device.
Verify that the Comms. Ok status is green. The
controller is monitoring a heart beat signal being
produced by the CNC. As long as the controller
detects a continuing transition, the status remains
green; otherwise, the status is red.

Clearing Faults
After all the devices are connected and functioning on the network, clear faults to put the machine in a Stopped
state.

HMI Clear Faults

When the controller powers-up and the program goes into Run mode, the machine is faulted and in the Aborted
state. See Appendix A for more information on the logic program modules.

You can attempt to clear the machine faults by pressing the Clear Faults push button on the HMI terminal. If
there are no faults, the machine state goes to Stopped. See Chapter 5 for more information on the HMI
application programming.

HMI Test Faults

Test the functionality of the state machine, device modules, and fault handling by simulating faults. By creating a
fault, the machine state goes to an Aborted state and a fault is logged on the HMI Alarm History faceplate. Try
creating a fault for each of the device modules in the system. You can create a fault by unplugging an encoder
cable or communication cable on a drive or servo. Verify that the machine goes to the Aborted state. After each
fault, correct the simulated fault and verify that you can clear the faults. The machine goes to the Stopped state
after the faults are cleared.

See Chapter 7 for more information on the faceplate fault diagnostic views.

Operator (manual) Control

Before attempting to run the machine in automatic, manually trigger a cycle start on a CNC. With the faults
cleared and the machine state in Stopped mode, put the machine in Operator mode. You can select each of the
CNCs to manually send different commands. Test the Cycle Start/Stop mode, Feed Hold, and so on of each
device.

IMPORTANT Be sure the CNC machining cell selected for testing is safe, and ready to receive the specific commands (machine
damage, or bodily injury could occur).

212 Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012

 System Commissioning Chapter 6

Open one of the device faceplates. While in Operator mode,

you are able to manually command the CNC.

IMPORTANT Triggering and entering Operator mode from a CNC

faceplate will also command the machine to enter
Operator mode.

See Chapter 7 for more information on how device control

buttons function.

Program (automatic) Control

With the faults cleared and the machine state in Stopped

Logic Program Overview

The CNC Machining Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication IASIMP-SP018, was developed around a modular
concept. Modularity lets you decide which components to incorporate into your machine, providing greater
flexibility and a custom fit. The preconfigured logic is specifically designed around this modular concept and
consists of three main logic modules.
Table 12 - Logic Module Overview
Logic Module Type Function
The machine module contains the high level control for the entire machine. The machine module was built around a simple
state machine that you can customize to fit most applications. The machine module broadcasts out commands and receives
feedback information from each of the application and device modules. Based on the feedback information, the machine

In addition, the machine module provides a high level interface with the HMI, accepting commands like Start, Stop, and
Clear Faults. It provides status info to the HMI terminal like current state of the machine (for example, RUNNING versus
STOPPED).
The application modules contain all of the application specific code. This is where a majority of the customizing is expected
Application to occur and is essentially a programming space where you spend a significant portion of your efforts to develop
proprietary logic specific to your application.
Device modules contain all of the logic to control the essential functions required by the device. For example, an integrated
motion servo drive like the Kinetix 6500 requires logic (MSO/MSF instructions) to enable and/or disable the servo drive.
This logic reduces the programming effort required by most applications providing more time for the proprietary logic
Device needed for the application.
Typically, the device module consists of a physical drive, but could also consist of a virtual or feedback-only axis. Device
modules can also consist of multiple devices (for example, a drive) and perhaps a feedback device (for example, a sensor).

Appendix A Logic Program Overview

Machine/Application/Device Module Relationship

The machine module monitors the current state of the overall machine and based on the state and/or requests
from the HMI terminal, broadcasts commands to both the application and device modules. The individual
modules perform a predefined task based on the command. Some of the commands may be ignored depending
on the module type.

Appendix A Logic Program Overview

Machine Module
The machine module contains the high level control for the entire machine. The machine module was built
around a simple state machine that you can customize to fit most applications. The machine module broadcasts
out commands and receives feedback information from each of the application and device modules. Based on the
feedback information, the machine will react accordingly.

In addition, the machine module provides a high level interface with the HMI, accepting commands like Start,
Stop, and Clear Faults. It provides status info to the HMI terminal like current state of the machine (for example,
RUNNING versus STOPPED).

Machine States

By default, the machine program module operates based on this overall state diagram.

Command

The machine module uses the transitional states to move between permanent states. Typically, the machine only
remains on a transitional state for brief period of time. If the machine module detects an error during a
transitional state or if the application or device modules fail to transition within an allotted time (10 seconds by
default), the machine module issues an ABORT command. The fail safe transition timer makes sure the overall
machine does not become stuck in a transitional state. It also helps to provide diagnostic information to
determine which module is not transitioning properly.

Device Modules
Device modules contain all of the logic to control the essential functions required by the device. For example, an
integrated motion servo drive like the Kinetix 6500 requires logic (MSO/MSF instructions) to enable and/or

Logic Module Customization

The toolkit logic modules are designed with a basic set of machine states, faults, alarms, and reset logic common
to most applications. Knowing that specific application requirements dictate exceptions and additions, the ability
to customize is also included in the logic module design.

This appendix includes common modification recommendations for the customization of machine states, faults,
alarms, and reset logic.

Machine State Customization

You may wish to modify state names, add or remove states, or even change the relationship between states to fit
your application. The state machine logic resides in the R02_Monitor and R03_Control routines in the machine
module.

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012 243

Appendix B Logic Module Customization

The application and device modules interact with the state machine via their R02_Monitor and R03_Control
routines.

For example, the device modules accept commands and react accordingly. Therefore, changes to the state
machine can impact the individual application and device modules. Refer to Appendix A for more information
on the state machine and how it interacts with the application and device modules.

The core for the state machine is built around the

UDT_MachCtrl data type.

The UDT_MachCtrl data type consists of three

sub data-types that directly impact the state
machine:
• Mode = UDT_MachMode
• Command = UDT_MachCmd
• State = UDT_MachState

244 Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012

Modifications to the state, command, or

mode need to be made to the
corresponding data types. For example, to
modify the state names, open and edit
the UDT_MachState data type.

Each instance of any MachineSTATE_Add-On Instruction instruction contains an embedded string tag that sets
the Machine.StateDisplay tag following a state change. The Machine.StateDisplay tag is referenced by the HMI
to display the current or active machine state. In this example, you modify the embedded string tag.

1. Right-click the Add-On Instruction tag name and choose Open Instruction Logic.

2. Navigate to rung 5, right-click State_Name, and choose Monitor “State_Name”.

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012 247

Appendix B Logic Module Customization

3. Use the String Browser to modify or set the

State_Name.
The new state name must match the updated state
set by the MachineSTATE_Add-On Instruction
instruction. For example, if the
MachineSTATE_Add-On Instruction instruction
places the machine into the
Machine.State.PRODUCING state, then the
corresponding State_Name tag must be set to
PRODUCING.
Each instance of any MachineSTATE_Add-On
Instruction needs to be set or updated based on
changes to the machine states.

Bypass Idle State Modifications

By default, the state machine transitions from STOPPED to IDLE when start is pressed on the HMI terminal.
While in IDLE, typically all of the modules are reset and ready to run. A sercos or CIP Motion axis, for example,
are enabled and holding position at this point. When start is pressed a second time, the machine transitions from
IDLE to RUNNING and motion begins. If your machine is not required to dwell on the IDLE state, but instead
transitions to the RUNNING state, then make this edit.

1. Navigate to rung 5 in the R03_Control routine for the machine module.

2. Delete the XIC and ONS instructions.

The IDLE state was not removed. Instead, the state machine
transitions instantly from IDLE into STARTING without
requiring a second start request. To the operator it appears as if
the IDLE state was removed or bypassed altogether.

 Logic Module Customization Appendix B

Module Fault Customization

The application and device module R02_Monitor routines contain module fault logic.

Module faults are intended to act as a diagnostic tool to cover not only a drive or device fault, but also module
specific faults. You can add custom module fault logic to provide additional diagnostic information based on
your application. The default module specific faults are listed below.
Table 19 - Module Faults

(1) Alarm History fault codes 8…19 are placeholders. You can use them to quickly add custom user-defined module faults. Refer to
Chapter 5, FactoryTalk View ME Configuration, on page 147, for more information on the Alarm History faceplate and its function.

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012 249

Appendix B Logic Module Customization

All of the device modules also contain a general drive fault. The drive fault is in addition to the drive specific
faults. For example, when a CIP Motion drive faults for an Excessive Position Error, both the drive specific fault
(Excessive Position Error) and general fault (Drive Fault) are displayed on the HMI alarm history faceplate. This
general drive fault is also triggered when a drive faults, but does not provide specific fault information, for
example, PowerFlex 4-class drives.

To add new module faults to the alarm history faceplate, navigate to the fault trigger rungs and add the logic for
your new fault with the appropriate fault code number.

250 Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012

 Logic Module Customization Appendix B

In addition to adding the logic for the new module faults, the alarm message within the HMI application needs
to be entered for the associated trigger value.

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012 251

Appendix B Logic Module Customization

Alarm History Faceplate Logic Modification

The alarm history rungs in the application and device module R02_Monitor routines support the HMI alarm
history faceplate.

If your HMI application does not include the alarm history faceplate, then you can remove this logic from the
monitor routine for each module. You can locate the alarm history faceplate logic rungs just below the alarm
history header, in the rung comments.

To remove logic, select alarm history rungs in each R02_Monitor routine of each application and device module
and press the delete key or menu item.

252 Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS034A-EN-P - October 2012

 Logic Module Customization Appendix B

Coordinated Reset Customization

By default, each device module is pre-programmed with reset logic that is designed to prepare the module and the
devices it contains (drives, for example) to run. For a sercos or CIP Motion axis, this might mean the reset logic
will home the axis. This approach is well suited for applications where the individual device modules reset
independently. However, some applications require multiple device modules to reset in a coordinated manner.
For example, when two or more sercos and/or CIP Motion axes are homed in sequential order to avoid
mechanical interference.

To achieve a coordinated reset, we recommend that you remove the reset-sequence logic from each of
corresponding device module R04_Reset_Abort routines and insert it into the application R04_Reset routine.

The reset logic from each device module can be blended together into a single reset sequence in the application
module. Also, your application may contain device modules that can be reset independently while others may
need a coordinated reset. In these cases, you only need to relocate the reset logic for the device modules that
require the coordinated reset.
