1.2.6 Process IEC 61131-3 standard with rich development

environment

The standard IEC 61131-3 has been established to standardize

the multiple languages, sets of instructions and different concepts
existing in the field of automation systems. The great variety of
control concepts has led to an incompatibility between the
different control platforms and manufacturers. The result was a
great effort to be made for training, hardware and software
investments.
IEC 61131-3 defines the syntax of 5 programming languages,
defines a certain representation and describes the different
elements which can be used in the language.
The programming languages can be differentiated by the
physical appearance into 2 textual languages and 3 graphical
languages.

Textual Languages Graphical Languages

Function Block Diagram (FBD)

Instruction List (IL)
Ladder Diagram (LD)
Structured Text (ST)
Sequential Function Chart (SFC)

Table 1-1 Programming Languages Table

1.2.7 Cross-Language Programming

For some project integrate and scalable issues, cross-language
can help you to choose the different language for your project. For
example, you can use ladder (LD) on the simple I/O module
control or simple logical expression and use Function Block (FB)
on process control for more advanced expression and use
Sequential Function Chart (SFC) for system configuration in
hybrid control system such as Water Treatment.

2.2.3 Install Main Unit and Modules

While inserting modules into the system, align the PC board of the
module with the grooves on the top and bottom of the system. Push
the module straight into the system until it is firmly seated in the
backplane connector. Once the module is inserted into the system,
push in the retaining clips (located at the top and bottom of the module)
to firmly secure the module to the system.

2.2.4 I/O Slots and I/O Channel Numbering

The ADAM-5550KW Series provides 8 slots for I/O modules. The I/O
slots are numbered 0 through 7, and the channel numbering of any
I/O module in any slot starts from 0. For example, the ADAM-5017 is
an 8-channel analog input module. Its input channel numbering is 0
through 7.

2.2.5 Mounting

The ADAM-5550KW Series Controller can be installed on a panel or

on a DIN rail.

Panel Mount

Mount the system on the panel horizontally to provide proper

ventilation. You cannot mount the system vertically, upside down or on
a flat horizontal surface. A standard #7 tatting screw (4 mm diameter)
should be used.

 Chapter 2 Installation Guidelines

DIN Rail Mount

Figure 2-4: DIN Rail Mount for ADAM-5550KW Series

The system can also be secured to the cabinet by using mounting

rails. If you mount the system on a rail, you should also consider using
end brackets at each end of the rail. The ended brackets help keep
the system from sliding horizontally along the rail. This minimizes the
possibility of accidentally pulling the wiring loose. If you examine the
bottom of the system, you will notice two small retaining clips. To
secure the system to a DIN rail, place the system on to the rail and
gently push up on the retaining clips. The clips lock the system on the
rail. To remove the system, pull down on the retaining clips, lift up on
the base slightly, and pull it away from the rail.

We suggest that use the Mount way to fix your ADAM-5550KW.

DON’T LET YOUR ADAM-5550KW FLATWAYS OR VERTICAL. This
way would cause your ADAM-5550KW which generates a lot of heat.
And don’t touch the surface of Heat Sink. It would scald your skin and
let you get hurt.

ADAM-5550KW Series Controller supports Modbus/TCP server

function for connecting to HMI/SCADA software. The Modbus/TCP
server function is supported by using Ethernet port of ADAM-5550KW
Series Controller.

5.4.1 Modbus Address Mapping

ADAM-5550KW Series Controller reserves 16K Bytes memory space

for Modbus function. The memory block can store user’s data and
exchange the data through Modbus protocol. The unit in Modbus 4X
registers is Word so there are totally 8K Words available.

The Modbus address is defined from 42001 to 49999. In order to

exchange the data through Modbus, users need to move the data onto
this memory block by setting the memory address in “I/O Address”
field manually. The memory address of this memory block is defined
from mw3.0 to mw3.15996. The mapping table of I/O Address and

ADAM-5550KW Series User’s Manual 5-47

Modbus Address is as following table.

I/O Address Modbus Address

%mw3.0 42001
%mw3.2 42002
%mw3.4 42003
…

Since unit of mw3.0 is Byte, users need to map the I/O Address and
Modbus Address as following.

For Bool data type:

I/O Address Modbus Address Length

Data 1 mw3.0.0 02001 1 Bit

RS-485 Network

 Appendix A RS-485 Network

EIA RS-485 is the industry’s most widely used bidirectional,

balanced transmission line standard. It is specifically developed
for industrial multi-drop systems that should be able to transmit
and receive data at high rates or over long distances.
The specifications of the EIA RS-485 protocol are as follows:
ΠMaximum line length per segment: 1200 meters (4000
feet)
ΠThroughput of 10 Mbaud and beyond -Differential
transmission
(balanced lines) with high resistance against noise
ΠMaximum 32 nodes per segment
ΠBi-directional master-slave communication over a
single set of twisted-pair cables
ΠParallel connected nodes, true multi-drop
ADAM-5550KW Series Controller is fully isolated and use just a
single set of twisted pair wires to send and receive! Since the
nodes are connected in parallel they can be freely disconnected
from the host without affecting the functioning of the remaining
nodes. An industry standard, shielded twisted pair is preferable
due to the high noise ratio of the environment. When nodes
communicate through the network, no sending conflicts can
occur since a simple command/response sequence is used.
There is always one initiator (with no address) and many slaves
(with addresses). In this case, the master is a personal
computer that is connected with its serial, RS-232, port to an
ADAM RS-232/RS-485 converter. The slaves are the
ADAM-5550KW Series Controller. When systems are not
transmitting data, they are in listen mode. The host computer
initiates a command/response sequence with one of the
systems. Commands normally contain the address of the
module the host wants to communicate with. The system with
the matching address carries out the command and sends its
response to the host.

 Appendix A RS-485 Network

A.1 Basic Network Layout

Multi-drop RS-485 implies that there are two main wires in a
segment. The connected systems tap from these two lines
with so called drop cables. Thus all connections are parallel
and connecting or discon- necting of a node doesn’t affect
the network as a whole. Since ADAM-5550KW Series
Controller use the RS-485 standard, they can connect and
communicate with the host PC. The basic layouts that can be
used for an RS-485 network are:

Daisychain
The last module of a segment is a repeater. It is directly
connected to the main-wires thereby ending the first segment
and starting the next segment. Up to 32 addressable systems
can be daisychained . This limitation is a physical one. When
using more systems per segment the IC driver current rapidly
decreases, causing communication errors. In total, the
network can hold up to 64 addressable systems. The limita-
tion on this number is the two-character hexadecimal address
code that can address 64 combinations. The ADAM converter,
ADAM repeaters and the host computer are non addressable
units and therefore are not included in these numbers.

 Appendix A RS-485 Network

Star Layout
In this scheme the repeaters are connected to drop-down
cables from the main wires of the first segment. A tree
structure is the result. This scheme is not recommended
when using long lines since it will cause a serious amount of
signal distortion due to signal reflections in several
line-endings.

 Appendix A RS-485 Network

A.2 Line Termination

Each discontinuity in impedance causes reflections and distortion.
When a impedance discontinuity occurs in the transmission line the
immediate effect is signal reflection. This will lead to signal
distortion. Specially at line ends this mismatch causes problems.
To eliminate this discontinuity, terminate the line with a resistor.

Figure A-4: Signal distortion

The value of the resistor should be a close as possible to the

charac- teristic impedance of the line. Although receiver devices
add some resistance to the whole of the transmission line, normally
it is sufficient to the resistor impedance should equal the
characteristic impedance of the line.

Example: Each input of the receivers has a nominal input

impedance of 18 k feeding into a diode transistor- resistor
biasing network that is equivalent to an 18 k input resistor tied
to a common mode voltage of 2.4 V. It is this configuration, which
provides the large common range of the receiver required for
RS-485 systems! (See Figure D-5 below).

common mode voltage of balanced RS-485 systems, the
18 k on the input can be taken as being in series across
the input of each individual receiver. If thirty of these
receivers are put closely together at the end of the
transmission line, they will tend to react as thirty 36k
resistors in parallel with the termination resistor. The overall
effective resistance will need to be close to the
characteristics of the line. The effective parallel receiver
resistance RP will therefore be equal to:
RP = 36 x 103/30 = 1200Ω
While the termination receptor RT will equal:
RT = RO / [1 - RO/RP]
Thus for a line with a characteristic impedance of 100
resistor RT = 100/[1 - 100/1200] = 110Ω
Since this value lies within 10% of the line characteristic
impedance.

 Appendix A RS-485 Network

Thus as already stated above the line termination resistor RT

will normally equal the characteristic impedance Zo. The star
connection causes a multitude of these discontinuities since
there are several transmission lines and is therefore not
recommend.

Note: The recommend method wiring method, that

causes a minimum amount of reflection, is daisy
chaining where all receivers tapped from one
transmission line needs only to be terminated
twice.

A.3 RS-485 Data Flow Control

The RS-485 standard uses a single pair of wires to send and
receive data. This line sharing requires some method to
control the direction of the data flow. RTS (Request To Send)
and CTS (Clear To Send) are the most commonly used
methods.

Figure A-6: RS-485 data flow control with RTS

Intelligent RS-485 Control

ADAM-4510 and ADAM-4520 are both equipped with an I/O

circuit which can automatically sense the direction of the data
flow. No handshaking with the host (like RTS, Request to Send)
is necessary to receive data and forward it in the correct
direction. You can use any software written for half-duplex
RS-232 with an ADAM network without modification. The
RS-485 control is completely transparent to the user.

Field Grounding and Shielding Application

Overview
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to finish a system integration
task at one time. We always meet some trouble in the field. A
communication network or system isn’t stable, induced noise
or equipment is damaged or there are storms. However, the
most usual issue is just simply improper wiring, ie, grounding
and shielding. You know the 80/20 rule in our life: we spend
20% time for 80% work, but 80% time for the last 20% of the
work. So is it with system integration: we pay 20% for Wire /
Cable and 0% for Equipment. However, 80% of reliability
depends on Grounding and Shielding. In other words, we
need to invest more in that 20% and work on these two
issues to make a highly reliable system. This application note
brings you some concepts about field grounding and
shielding. These topics will be illustrated in the following
pages.

B.1 Grounding

B-1.1 The ‘Earth’ for reference

Figure B-1: Think the EARTH as GROUND.

As you know, the EARTH cannot be conductive. However,

all build- ings lie on, or in, the EARTH. Steel, concrete and
associated cables (such as lighting arresters) and power
system were connected to EARTH. Think of them as
resistors. All of those infinite parallel resistors make the
EARTH as a single reference point.

B-1.2 The ‘Frame Ground’ and ‘Grounding Bar’

Figure B-2: Grounding Bar.

Grounding is one of the most important issues for our system.

Just like Frame Ground of the computer, this signal offers a
reference point of the electronic circuit inside the computer. If
we want to communicate with this computer, both Signal
Ground and Frame Ground should be connected to make a
reference point of each other’s electronic circuit. Generally
speaking, it is necessary to install an individual grounding
bar for each system, such as computer networks, power
systems, telecommunication networks, etc. Those individual
grounding bars not only provide the individual reference
point, but also make the earth a our ground!

B-1.3 Normal Mode and Common Mode

Have you ever tried to measure the voltage between a live
circuit and a concrete floor? How about the voltage between
neutral and a concrete floor? You will get nonsense values.
‘Hot’ and ‘Neutral’ are just relational signals: you will get
110VAC or 220VAC by measuring these signals. Normal
mode and common mode just show you that the Frame
Ground is the most important reference signal for all the
systems and equipments.

B-1.4 Wire impedance

Figure B-5: The purpose of high voltage transmission

• What’s the purpose of high voltage transmission? We

have all seen high voltage transmission towers. The power
plant raises the voltage while generating the power, then a
local power station steps down the voltage. What is the
purpose of high voltage transmission wires ? According to
the energy formula, P = V * I, the current is reduced when
the voltage is raised. As you know, each cable has
impedance because of the metal it is made of. Referring to
Ohm’s Law, (V = I * R) this decreased current means lower
power losses in the wire. So, high voltage lines are for
reducing the cost of moving electrical power from one place
to another.

• What’s Single Point Grounding? Maybe you have had an

unpleasant experience while taking a hot shower in Winter.
Someone turns on a hot water faucet somewhere else. You
will be impressed with the cold water! The bottom diagram
above shows an example of how devices will influence each
other with swift load change. For example, normally we turn
on all the four hydrants for testing. When you close the
hydrant 3 and hydrant 4, the other two hydrants will get more
flow. In other words, the hydrant cannot keep a constant flow
rate.

Figure B-8: Single point grounding. (2)

The above diagram shows you that a single point

grounding system will be a more stable system. If you use
thin cable for powering these devices, the end device will
actually get lower power. The thin cable will consume the
energy.

B.2 Shielding

B-2.1 Cable Shield

Figure B-9: Single isolated cable

• Single isolated cable The diagram shows the structure of

an isolated cable. You see the isolated layer which is
spiraled Aluminum foil to cover the wires. This spiraled
structure makes a layer for shielding the cables from
external noise.

 Appendix B Grounding Reference

Figure B-10: Double isolated cable

• Double isolated cable Figure 10 is an example of a double

isolated cable. The first isolating layer of spiraled aluminum foil
covers the conductors. The second isolation layer is several
bare conductors that spiral and cross over the first shield layer.
This spiraled structure makes an isolated layer for reducing
external noise. Additionally, follow these tips just for your
reference.
• The shield of a cable cannot be used for signal ground. The
shield is designed for carrying noise, so the environment noise
will couple and interfere with your system when you use the
shield as signal ground.
• The higher the density of the shield - the better, especially for
communication network.
• Use double isolated cable for communication network / AI / AO.
• Both sides of shields should be connected to their frame while
inside the device. (for EMI consideration)
• Don’t strip off too long of plastic cover for soldering.

B-2.2 System Shielding

Figure B-11: System Shielding

• Never stripping too much of the plastic cable cover. This is

improper and can destroy the characteristics of the
Shielded-Twisted-Pair cable. Besides, the bare wire shield
easily conducts the noise.
• Cascade these shields together by soldering. Please refer to
follow- ing page for further detailed explanation.
• Connect the shield to Frame Ground of DC power supply to
force the conducted noise to flow to the frame ground of the
DC power supply. (The ‘frame ground’ of the DC power supply
should be connected to the system ground)

• Shield connection (1)

If you break into a cable, you might get in a hurry to achieve

your goal. As in all electronic circuits, a signal will use the path
of least resis- tance. If we make a poor connection between
these two cables we will make a poor path for the signal. The
noise will try to find another path for easier flow.

B.3 Noise Reduction Techniques

• Isolate noise sources in shielded enclosures.
• Place sensitive equipment in shielded enclosure and away
from computer equipment.
• Use separate grounds between noise sources and signals.
• Keep ground/signal leads as short as possible.
• Use Twisted and Shielded signal leads.
• Ground shields on one end ONLY while the reference
grounds are not the same.
• Check for stability in communication lines.
• Add another Grounding Bar if necessary.
• The diameter of power cable must be over 2.0 mm2.
• Independent grounding is needed for A/I, A/O, and
communication network while using a jumper box.
• Use noise reduction filters if necessary. (TVS, etc)
• You can also refer to FIPS 94 Standard. FIPS 94
recommends that the computer system should be placed
closer to its power source to eliminate load-induced common
mode noise.
