THE APPLICATION:

The SMC controller features connections to direct on-board I/O, Ethernet distributed I/O, and an
Ethernet Programmable Fieldbus Controller (PFC). The response differences between the direct
vs. Ethernet I/O is measured by an oscilloscope. The SMC will send motor position information
continuously to the PFC which will run its own ladder logic program to perform a PLS-type
operation. In this manner, 1 of 8 outputs will be assigned to a 45° quadrant.

description follows.

1. Configure the SMC IP address using Y-Term

2. Configure the Wago Ethernet Coupler IP address using Wago BootP

3. Wago I/O configuration and addressing.

4. Program the SMC to establish an Ethernet connection to the Wago I/O

5. Program the SMC to directly manipulate the distributed I/O

6. Program the Wago PFC to perform a PLS function based on motor position.

Configure SMC IP address using Y-Term:

First, the IP address of the computer needs to be determined in order to define an appropriate IP
address for the SMC. If the computer IP address is unknown, it can be displayed by entering
c:\ipconfig using the command prompt:

An IP address for the SMC must contain the same address in the first 3 IP fields and a unique
address in the 4th.

Wago Configuration and Addressing:

Wago I/O configures and maps itself automatically upon power up. Understanding how the Wago
I/O is addressed is the key to proper application.

On power up, the I/O coupler or PFC will address the I/O according to what it finds to be present.
Addresses are assigned in the following order:

Analog Inputs
Digital Inputs
Analog Outputs
Digital Outputs

The coupler follows this hierarchy no matter what order the modules are physically arranged in
the rack.

Each analog channel consumes 1 word of memory. Each digital channel consumes 1 bit.

For the 750-842 Programmable Fieldbus Coupler, the physical Inputs are mapped starting at
Word 0. The physical Outputs are mapped starting at Word 512. Variable memory that the logic
processor can use are mapped starting at Word 256. And finally, variable memory registers that
an external device (like the SMC) can write to begin at Word 768.

Opening SMC Ethernet connections to a Wago I/O block:

Ethernet connections with the SMC products are called “Handles”. The SMC-3010 (also called
the Legend-MC) can open up to 16 handles at one time. The SMC-4000 can open 8. Handles are
opened with the ‘IH’ command.

IH
FUNCTION: Open Internet Handle

Description:

The IH command is used when the SMC product is operated as a network master. This command
opens a handle and connects to a slave.

Each controller may have several handles open at any given time. They are designated by the letters
A through P. To open a handle, the user must specify:

The IP address of the slave

The type of session TCP/IP or UDP/IP

The port number of the slave. TCP protocol uses port 502.

Arguments: IHh = ip0, ip1, ip2, ip3 <p >q OR IHh = n <p >q OR IHh = >r Where:

For example:

To open a TCP/IP connection to the above configured Wago I/O block using Handle C, issue the
command:

IHC = 192,168,3,151 <502 >2

The Ethernet handle connections are viewed by going under the menu Tools, Ethernet Status.

The IH command also contains status variables _IHh1 through _IHh4 where ‘h’ is the handle
letter. These are useful for programmatically checking the status of the handle when
implementing proper programming technique.

_IHh0 contains the IP address as a 32 bit number

_IHh1 contains the slave port number

_IHh2 contains a 0 if the handle is free

contains a 1 if it is for a UDP slave

contains a 2 if it is for a TCP slave

contains a -1 if it is for a UDP master

contains a -2 if it is for a TCP master

contains a -5 if attempting to connect by UDP

contains a -6 if attempting to connect by TCP

contains a 1 if it is for a UDP slave

_IHh3 contains a 0 if the ARP was successful

contains a 1 if it has failed or is still in progress

_IHh4 contains a 1 if the SA command is waiting for acknowledgement from a slave

contains a 2 if the SA command received a colon

contains a 3 if the SA command received a question mark

contains a 4 if the SA command timed out

Programming the SMC using I/O set, read and Modbus commands:
Distributed Digital I/O is extremely easy to accomplish with the SMC products. Digital outputs are
controlled using the already familiar SB and CB commands. The Wago TCP/IP connection
implements Modbus protocol.

SB
FUNCTION: Set Bit

Description:

The SB command sets a bit on the output port, slave controller or Modbus I/O

When using Modbus devices, the I/O points are calculated using the following formula:

n = (SlaveAddress*1000) + (HandleNum*1000) + ((Module-1)*4) + (BitNum-1)

Slave address is used when the Modbus device has slave devices connected to it, and specified as
Addresses 0 to 255. Please note that the use of slave devices for Modbus are very rare and this
number will usually be 0.

HandleNum is the handle specifier from A-P (1-16)

Module is the position of the module in the rack from 1 to 16

BitNum is the point in the I/O module from 1 to 4

Arguments: SB n

CB
FUNCTION: Clear Bit

Description:

The SB command clears a bit on the output port, slave controller or Modbus I/O

Same addressing as SB command

Arguments: CB n

EX: SB 3000 will turn on the first digital output on the above I/O device using Handle C.
CB 3000 will turn it off.

Distributed Digital input status is read with the @IN function just as it is with local inputs.

@IN
FUNCTION: Status of Digital Input

Description:

@IN returns the status of the digital input number or variable given in square brackets. Note that the
@IN command is a function and does not follow the convention of the commands, and does not
require the underscore when used as an operand.

When using Modbus devices, the I/O points are calculated using the following formula:

n = (SlaveAddress*1000) + (HandleNum*1000) + ((Module-1)*4) + (BitNum-1)

Slave address is used when the Modbus device has slave devices connected to it, and specified as
Addresses 0 to 255. Please note that the use of slave devices for Modbus are very rare and this
number will usually be 0.

HandleNum is the handle specifier from A-P (1-16)

Module is the position of the module in the rack from 1 to 16

BitNum is the point in the I/O module from 1 to 4

Arguments: @IN [n]

EX: IF (@IN[3000]) //If the 1st digital input of the above I/O device is ON
MG {EA} @IN[3000] //print the status to the screen

Analog I/O or Memory variables are implemented using the Modbus command to read and/or
write registers (words) in the distributed device.

MB
FUNCTION: Modbus

Description:

The MB command is used to communicate to devices using the first 2 levels of the Modbus protocol.

The format of the command varies depending on each function code. The function code, -1,
designates that the first level of Modbus is used (creates raw packets and receives raw data). The
other codes are the 10 major function codesof the second level that the SMC products support.

Note: All formats contain an ‘h’ parameter. This designates the handle connection number.

Arguments: MBh = a, Function, …

Note that the screen has changed and now shows actual program states and values.

For our PLS example, download the file “SMC-Wago Connectivity.smc” to the SMC controller
using Y-Term. Run the PLS program by typing:

XQ #SETUP

Observe the status of the Wago PFC.

Keep in mind that if the PFC is used, the SMC would not normally write directly to the outputs.
This could cause a conflict with the 2 logic programs trying to control the same I/O. The more
common method would be to write to a memory register as demonstrated, and let the Wago PFC
take control from there.

APPENDIX:

SMC Example Code Listing:

This program contains basic routines to demonstrate connectivity between the SMC products and
the Wago Ethernet I/O.

#SETUP - sets initial parameters and starts the homing routine

#RELEASE - releases the Ethernet handles if they are open
#ASSIGN - opens Ethernet handles
#INIT - homes the motor to the C-Pulse
