Execution of Tasks

Description
The MC80 processor supports MAST task with periodic and cyclic modes.

Master Task
The master task represents the application program’s main task. You can choose from the following MAST
task execution modes:
 Cyclical (default setup): execution cycles are performed in sequence, one after the other.
 Periodical: a new cycle is started periodically, according to a user-defined time period (1…255 ms) with
1 ms increment.
If the execution time is longer than the period configured by you, then the bit %S19 is set to 1 and a new
cycle is launched.
Both MAST task cycle modes are controlled by a watchdog.
The watchdog is triggered if the MAST task execution time is longer than the watchdog value in the
configuration, and causes a software error. The application then goes into HALT status, and the bit %S11
is set to 1 (you must reset it to 0).
The watchdog value (%SW11) may be configured between 10 ms and 1,500 ms (default value: 250 ms).
NOTE: Configuring the watchdog to a value that is less than the period is not allowed.
The system tasks with higher priority than MAST will have an impact of MAST task duration.
The following table shows how the main services are assigned to a priority (highest priority impacts all
services with lowest priority):

Highest priority Interrupts: system timer, CAN, ETH, USB, serial ports
Exception handler task (1)
RSTP
Ethernet frame process
PLC operating mode transition management (run, stop, new download) (2)
CANopen process
MAST task
PLC low priority task: online change, application backup to flash
Lowest priority Other Ethernet services: DHCP, SNMP
(1) Exception lead to error state and permanent reset of the function
(2)
Task activated only on PLC state change

 Analog Input Function

Analog Input Functional Description

Description
The Analog Input function offers the following range for each input according to the selection made during
configuration:
 ±10 V
 0…10 V
 0…5 V/0…20 mA
 1…5 V/4…20 mA
 ±5 V/±20 mA

The function operates with voltage inputs. It includes four read resistors connected to the terminal block to
perform current inputs.

Measurement Timing
The timing of measurements is determined by the cycle selected during configuration (Normal or Fast
Cycle):
 Normal Cycle means that the scan cycle duration is fixed.
 With the Fast Cycle, however, the system only scans the channels designated as being In Use. The
scan cycle duration is therefore proportional to the number of channels In Use.
The cycle time values are based on the cycle selected:

Function Normal Cycle Fast Cycle

Analog input 6.5 ms 1.3 ms + (1.3 ms x N)
where N: number of channels in use.

NOTE: Module cycle is not synchronized with the PLC cycle. At the beginning of each PLC cycle, each
channel value is taken into account. If the MAST task cycle time is less than the module’s cycle time, some
values would have not changed.

Overflow/Underflow Control
The Analog Input function allows you to select between six voltage or current ranges for each input. This
option has to be configured in configuration windows for each channel.
The module checks for overflow depending on the selected range and verifies that the measurement falls
between a lower and an upper threshold:

Designation Description
Nominal range Measurement range corresponding to the chosen range
Upper Tolerance Area Varies between the values included between the maximum value for the range (for instance:
+10 V for the ±10 V range) and the upper threshold
Lower Tolerance Area Varies between the values included between the minimum value for the range (for instance:
-10 V for the ±10 V range) and the lower threshold
Overflow Area Area located beyond the upper threshold
Underflow Area Area located beyond the lower threshold

The threshold values are configurable independently from one another. They may assume integer values
between the following limits:

Measurement Display
Measurements may be displayed using standardized display (in %, to two decimal places):

Type of Range Display

Unipolar range From 0...10,000 (0% at +100%)
0…10 V, 0…5 V, 1…5 V, 0...20 mA, 4…20 mA
Bipolar range From -10,000…10,000 (-100% at +100%)
±10 V, ±5 V, ±20 mA

It is also possible to define the range of values within which measurements are expressed, by selecting:
 The lower threshold corresponding to the minimum value for the range: 0 % (or -100.00%).
 The upper threshold corresponding to the maximum value for the range (+100.00%).

The lower and upper thresholds must be integers between -32,768 and +32,767.
For example, imagine a conditioner providing pressure data on a 4…20 mA loop, with 4 mA corresponding
to 3,200 millibar and 20 mA corresponding to 9,600 millibar. You have the option of choosing the User
format, by setting the following lower and upper thresholds:
 3,200 for 3,200 millibar as the lower threshold
 9,600 for 9,600 millibar as the upper threshold

Values transmitted to the program vary between 3,200 (= 4 mA) and 9,600 (= 20 mA).

Measurement Filtering
The type of filtering performed by the system is called first order filtering. The filtering coefficient can be
modified from a programming console or via the program.
The mathematical formula used is as follows:
Measf(n) = α x Measf(n-1) + ( 1-α ) x Valb(n)
where:
α = efficiency of the filter
Measf(n) = measurement filtered at moment n
Measf(n-1) = measurement filtered at moment n-1
Valb(n) = gross value at moment n
You may configure the filtering value from seven possibilities (from 0…6). This value may be changed even
when the application is in RUN mode.
NOTE: Filtering may be accessed in Normal or Fast Cycle.
NOTE: α=e-Tcycle/τ

52 EIO0000002071 06/2020
 Analog Input Function

where:
Tcycle = sampling period of the channel
τ = response time of the filter
The relation between the efficiency α and the Parameter k (0 to 6) is:
α = 0 for k=0
α = 1-1/2k+1 for k=1...6
The filtering values depend on the T configuration cycle (where T = cycle time of 6.5 ms in standard mode):

Desired Efficiency Required Value Corresponding α Filter Response Time Cut-off frequency
at 63% (Hz)
No filtering 0 0 0 -
Smooth filtering 1 0.750 4* T 0.040/T
2 0.875 8* T 0.020/T
Average filtering 3 0.937 16* T 0.010/T
4 0.969 32* T 0.005/T
High filtering 5 0.984 64* T 0.0025/T
6 0.992 128* T 0.0012/T

NOTE: Enter the valid value for filter between the ranges 0…6. If you enter an invalid value in Device DDT,
MC80 PLC will consider the last value of the filter.

Sensor Alignment
The process of alignment consists in eliminating a systematic offset observed with a given sensor, around
a specific operating point. This operation compensates for an error linked to the process. Replacing a
module does not therefore require a new alignment. However, replacing the sensor or changing the
sensor’s operating point does require a new alignment.
Conversion lines are as follows:

The alignment value is editable from a programming console, even if the program is in RUN Mode.
For each input channel, you can:
 view and modify the desired measurement value
 save the alignment value
 determine whether the channel already has an alignment

The alignment offset may also be modified through programming. Channel alignment is performed on the
channel in standard operating mode, without any effect on the channel’s operating modes.
The maximum offset between measured value and desired (aligned) value may not exceed ±1,500.
NOTE: To align several analog channels, we recommend to proceed channel by channel. Test each
channel after alignment before moving to the next channel in order to apply the parameters correctly.
NOTE: Enter the valid value for the filter. The valid value is between the predefined ranges. If you enter an
invalid value in Device DDT, MC80 PLC will consider the upper or lower limit from the predefined range.

Wiring Precautions
In order to protect the signal from outside interference induced in series mode and interference in common
mode, we recommend that you take the following precautions:
 Cable Shielding - Connect the cable shielding to the grounding bar. Clamp the shielding to the
grounding bar on the module side.
For more details on grounding, refer to the chapter Grounding Bar (see page 77).

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
While mounting / removing the modules:
 Make sure that each terminal block is still connected to the grounding bar
 Disconnect voltage supplying sensors and pre-actuators.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
UNEXPECTED EQUIPEMENT OPERATION
 Use a 24 Vdc supply to sensors and a shielded cable for connecting the sensors to the module.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Sensors and other peripherals may be connected to a grounding point some distance from the module.
Such remote ground references may carry considerable potential differences with respect to local
ground. Ensure that:
 potentials greater than permitted low limits cannot exist,
 induced currents do not affect the measurement or integrity of the system.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Electromagnetic Hazard Instructions

CAUTION
UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR OF APPLICATION
Follow these instructions to reduce electromagnetic perturbations:
 Use the BMX XSP 0400/0600/0800/1200 electromagnetic protection kit to connect the shielding.

Electromagnetic perturbations may lead to an unexpected behavior of the application.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

MAC address as Client Identify.
Stored The lower rotary switch is set to STORED (default setting) to use the application’s configured
parameters.
 Configure static IP
 Configure Device Name to get IP address through DHCP

NOTE: When the Device Name is empty, MC80 will use MAC address to get IP address.
Clear IP The lower rotary switch is set to CLEAR IP to use the MAC-based default IP address.
The default IP address format is 10.10.x.x
 10.10: is a fixed value
 x: The last two fields in the default IP address are composed of the decimal equivalents of
the last two hexadecimal bytes in the MAC address.
Disabled Set the switch to Disabled to disable communications.
Device Name Naming Rules
There are three components of the device name. The default device name of the module is:
BMK C80 20310 : BMK_20310_xxy
The numeric value between 00 and 159 is set on the rotary switches. (For the default device name, xx is the value of the upper rotary switch
and y is the value of the lower rotary switch.)
For example: For a BMK C80 20310 module, values of 120 (12 x 10) and 6 (6 x 1) on the respective upper and lower rotary switches indicate
a value of 126. The value is appended to the default device name (BMK_20310_xxy) to create the valid DHCP device name of
BMK_20310_126.

NOTE: The selection on the lower switch of any non-numeric parameter (DHCP, STORED, CLEAR IP,
DISABLED) makes the setting on the upper switch inconsequential.
NOTE: Make sure to restart the PLC after changing the rotary switch position.

Configuration of MC80

The following table shows the different elements of configuration screen and their functions:

Element Function
Operating mode
Operating mode Operating mode zone includes the following elements:
 Run/Stop input
 Memory protect
 Automatic start in Run
 Initialize %MWi on cold start
 Cold Start Only

Run/Stop Run/Stop input can be:

 the image value of a physical digital input: MOD_DIS_16_1.DIS_CH_IN[i].VALUE, where i =
number from 0…7
 an unlocated variable of type BOOL with correct RW Program (for example, MyRunStop1)
 an unlocated variable of type EBOOL with correct RW Program (for example, MyRunStop2)

The Run/Stop by input only parameter is significant only if the Run/Stop input is valid.
If the Run/Stop by input only is unchecked it is possible to change the PLC state from Run
to Stop (or the opposite) either with a Run/Stop
Request or by changing the value of the
Run/Stop input.
If the Run/Stop by input only is checked it is only possible to change the PLC state from
Run to Stop (or the opposite) by changing the
value of the Run/Stop input.
NOTE: Before downloading a different
application, reset the Run/Stop input to 0 or
press the reset button.
Memory protect Memory protect follows the same rules as Run/Stop input.
When you configure and enable memory protect, you cannot change the PLC configuration or
application and upload the application.
Initialize %MWi On a cold start or on download if you check the the %MWi are handled like other global
on cold start box (default state) variables (initialized to 0 or initial value,
according to current application) in all cold start
cases.
On cold start or on download if you uncheck the if %MW were previously saved in internal flash
box memory (using the %SW96 word) they are
restored from internal flash memory
if not,
 if cold start is linked to a push on the reset
button, the %MW are initialized.
 if not, the current values of %MW are
maintained.
NOTE: if the new (or restored) application has more %MW than the previous one, the added %MW
are set to 0 (non-zero initial values are not applied).
Cold Start Only If checked, this option forces the cold start of the application, instead of the normal warm start.
By default, the Cold Start Only option is unchecked.
An application using this functionality is not:
 downloadable on a PLC with a previous version,
 executable on a PLC with a previous version.

If cold start only is checked and run/stop is configured on unlocated variable, then the PLC will
restart in run or stop, depending on an initial value of the variable. It does not restart in the same
state as before.

The following figure shows the counting modules configuration screen.

The following table describes the parts of the various screens:

Address Element Function

1 Tabs The tab in the foreground indicates the mode in progress (Configuration in this
example). Every mode can be selected using the respective tab:
 Configuation

2 Module area Displays the name and status of a function.

Is used:
 To click the reference number, to display the tabs:
 Device DDT

3 Channel area Allows you:

 to click the reference number, to display the tabs:
 Description which gives the characteristics of the device

 to select a channel
 to display the Symbol, name of the channel defined by the user (using the variable
editor)
NOTE: All channels are activated and a channel cannot be de-activated to None.
4 General Allows you to select the counting function and the task associated with the channel:
parameters area Function: Counting function among those available for the modules involved.
Depending on this choice, the headings of the configuration area may differ. By
default, in Frequency Mode no function is configured.
Task: defines the MAST task through which the channel's implicit exchange objects
will be exchanged. These choices are only possible in offline mode.
NOTE: In Configuration view, the events are not managed.
5 Parameters in This area has various functionalities which depend upon the current mode:
progress area Configuration: It is used to configure the channel parameters.
NOTE: The Input and Output fault parameters are set by default with the value Local
or General IO Fault.

Configuring the Serial Port of the CPU

General Properties
The serial links of the CPU support two communication protocols:
 Modbus Serial
 Character Mode

Modbus is a standard protocol with the following properties:

 Establishes client/server communication between different modules within a bus or serial link. The client
is identified by the master and the slave modules represent the servers.
 Composes of requests and responses data exchange modes and offers services via function codes.
 Establishes a means of exchanging frames from Modbus applications in two types of code; RTU mode
and ASCII mode.
Character mode is a point-to-point mode of data exchange between two entities. It does not establish
hierarchically structured serial link communications or offer services via function codes, unlike Modbus
protocol. Character Mode is asynchronous.
Each item of textual information is sent or received character by character at irregular time intervals. The
time taken by the exchanges can be determined from the following properties:
 One or two end-of-frame characters
 Timeout
 Number of characters

Configuration
Communicating via Serial link enables data exchange between all devices connected to the bus. The
Modbus Serial is a protocol that creates a hierarchical structure (one master and several slaves).
The master manages all exchanges in two ways:
 The master exchanges with the slave and awaits a response.
 The master exchanges with all the slaves without waiting for a response (general broadcast).

NOTE: Be careful that two masters (on the same bus) do not send requests simultaneously otherwise the
requests are lost and each report will have a bad result which could be 16#0100 (request could not be
processed) or 16#ODFF (slave is not present).

Application-linked Modbus Parameters

After configuring the communication channel, enter the application parameters.
These parameters are accessible from three configuration zones:
 The Type zone
 The Master zone
 The Slave zone

The following table describes the zones:

Zone Screen Description

The Type zone This zone enables you to select the type of Modbus
Serial to be used:
 Master: When the station concerned is the
master.
 Slave: When the station concerned is a slave.

The Master zone This zone enables you to enter the following
parameters:
 Number of retries: Number of connection
attempts made by the master before defining
the slave as absent. The default value is 3.
Possible values range from 0…15. A value of 0
indicates no retries by the Master.
 Answer delay: The time between the Master’s
initial request and a repeated attempt if the slave
does not respond. This is the maximum time
between the transmission of the last character
of the Master's request and receipt of the first
character of the request sent back by the slave.
The default value is 1 second (100*10 ms).
Possible values range from 10 ms to 10 s.
NOTE: The Answer delay of the Master must be at
least equal to the longest Answer delay of the
Slaves present on the bus.
The Slave zone This zone enables you to enter the processor’s
slave number. The default value is 1. Possible
values range from 1…247.

Transmission-linked Modbus Parameters

After configuring the communication channel, enter the transmission parameters.
These parameters are accessible from five zones:
 The Transmission Speed zone
 The Delay between frames zone
 The Data zone
 The Stop zone
 The Parity zone

The following table describes the zones:

Zone Screen Description

The Transmission This zone allows you to select the transmission speed of the
Speed Zone Modbus Serial. The selected speed has to be consistent with
the other devices. The configurable values are 300, 600,
1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600 and 19,200 bits per second.
NOTE: The transmission speed of 38,400 bps is not
supported (300…19,200 bits/s) for all functions.
The Delay The Delay between frames is the minimum time separating
between frames two frames on reception. This delay is managed when the PLC
zone (master or slave) is receiving messages.
NOTE: The default value depends on the selected
transmission speed.
NOTE: The delay between frames should be the Default
value in order to be Modbus compliant. In case a Slave is not
conform, the value can be changed and should be identical for
the Master and all Slaves on the Bus.
The Data zone This zone allows you to enter the type of coding used to
communicate using Modbus Serial. This field is set according
to the other devices connected on the bus. There are two
configurable modes:
RTU mode:
 The characters are coded over 8 bits.
 The end of the frame is detected when there is a silence of
at least 3.5 characters.
 The integrity of the frame is checked using a word known
as the CRC checksum, which is contained within the frame.
ASCII mode:
 The characters are coded over 7 bits.
 The beginning of the frame is detected when the ":"
character is received.
 The end of the frame is detected by a carriage return and a
line feed.
 The integrity of the frame is checked using a byte called the
LRC checksum, which is contained within the frame.
The Stop zone This zone allows you to enter the number of stop bits used for
communication. This field is set according to the other
devices. The configurable values are:
 1 bit
 2 bits

The Parity zone This zone enables you to determine whether a parity bit is
added or not, as well as its type. This field is set according to
the other devices. The configurable values are:
 Even
 Odd
 None

Signal and Physical Line Parameters in Modbus

After configuring the communication channel, enter the signal and physical line parameters.
These parameters are accessible via three zones:
 The Physical line zone
 The Signals zone
 The RTS/CTS delay zone

The following table describes the zones:

Zone Screen Description

The Physical line In this zone, you can select the line for the channel 0 of the CPU between:
zone  The RS232 line
 The RS485 line

The Signals zone In this zone, you can select the signals supported by the RS232 physical
line:
 RX/TX
 RX/TX + RTS/CTS DCE mode

If the RS485 is configured, the entire zone will be unavailable and the
default value is RX/TX.
NOTE: The Modbus Master is the default type. When RS232 is selected,
DTE mode is not supported but DCE mode is supported.
The RTS/CTS The RTS/CTS delay zone is available only when both RS232 and
delay zone RX/TX+RTS/CTS check boxes are selected. An RTS/CTS flow control
algorithm is selected if the default value is 0 ms. A value different from 0
enables an RTS/CTS modem control algorithm.
The RTS/CTS flow control algorithm (DTE <-> DTE) is different from the
RTS/CTS modem control algorithm (DTE <-> DCE) as follows:
 The RTS/CTS flow control algorithm is related to the overflow
reception buffer (full duplex).
 The RTS/CTS modem control algorithm deals with the shared
transmission process, e.g. a radio modem.

Modbus Serial Communication Programming

When used as the master in a Modbus link, MC80 supports several services via the READ_VAR,

 Configuration of MC80

The following table describes the zones:

Zone Screen Description

The Stop on reception zone A reception request can be terminated once a
specific character is received.
Select the Stop option to configure the Stop on
reception feature which can be activated by a
specific end-of-message character:
 CR: enables you to detect the end of the
message by a carriage return.
 LF: enables you to detect the end of the
message by a line feed.
 Data entry field: enables you to identify an
end-of-message character other than the CR
or LF characters, using a decimal value:
 Between 0 and 255 if the data is coded
over 8 bits
 Between 0 and 127 if the data is coded
over 7 bits
 Character included: enables you to include
the end-of-message character in the
reception table of the PLC application.
It is possible to configure two end-of-reception
characters. For example, the end-of-reception of
a message can be detected by an LF or CR
character.
The Stop on silence zone This zone enables you to detect the end of a
message on reception by the absence of
message end characters over a given time. Stop
on silence is validated by checking the Stop
check box. The duration of the silence
(expressed in milliseconds) is set using the data
entry field.
NOTE: The available values range from
1…10,000 ms depending on the transmission
speed selected.

These parameters are accessible via 3 zones:
 The Physical line zone
 The Signals zone
 The RTS/CTS delay zone

The following table describes the zones:

Zone Screen Description

The Physical line In this zone, you can select the line for the channel 0 of the CPU
zone between:
 The RS232 line
 The RS485 line

The Signals zone In this zone, you can select the signals supported by the RS232
physical line:
 RX/TX
 RX/TX + RTS/CTS Full Duplex (DTE mode)

If the RS485 is configured, the entire zone is grayed out and the
default value is RX/TX.

The RTS/CTS The RTS/CTS delay zone is available only when both RS232 and
delay zone RX/TX+RTS/CTS check boxes are selected.
An RTS/CTS flow control algorithm is selected:
before a character string is transmitted, the system waits for the
CTS (Clear To Send) signal to be activated. This zone enables you
to enter the maximum waiting time between the two signals. When
this value is timed out, the request is not transmitted on the bus.
The Configurable values range from 0...10 s.
NOTE: The default value is 0 ms.
NOTE: A value of 0 s indicates that the delay between the two
signals is not managed.

Character Mode Communication Programming

The three specific communication functions are defined for sending and receiving data via communication
channel in Character mode:
 PRINT_CHAR: send a character string (maximum of 1,024 bytes).
 INPUT_CHAR: read a character string (maximum of 1,024 bytes).
 INPUT_BYTE (see Unity Pro, Communication, Block Library): read a byte array (maximum of 1,024
bytes).
Since the Modicon MC80 PLC serial port is full duplex with RS232 link, a PRINT_CHAR function can be
sent when an INPUT_CHAR function is sent and is in pending state.
NOTE: For INPUT_CHAR function, a configured time-out is necessary to acknowledge the activity bit of
the function, if the channel is configured without Stop on silence. For PRINT_CHAR function, it is advisable
but not necessary to configure a time-out.

IP address On the IP Configuration tab, you can define the IP address of a module in the IP address
configuration configuration zone. The options are:
 Configured: Manually enter the IP address, subnetwork mask, and gateway address.
 From a server: The configuration is supplied by a server device.

NOTE: To configure IP addresses, obtain the appropriate network address and subnetwork mask
from your system administrator.
Configured Selecting the Configured option allows manual configuration according to your own requirements:
 IP Address: The IP address of the module
 Subnetwork mask: The mask defines the part allocated to the subnetwork identifier in the IP
address.
 Gateway Address: The gateway address is the IP address of the default gateway to which
messages for other networks are transmitted.
NOTE:
 If the module is connected to an existing TCP/IP network, the IP addresses are administered
globally, therefore the IP parameters must be configured. Otherwise there may be an instance of
duplice IP addresses on the existing network.
 The configured IP address is valid only when the lower rotary switch turns to "Stored" position.

From a server Selecting the From a server option allows the configuration of module’s IP address from a remote
device acting as a DHCP server. When the From a server button is active:
 Leaving the Device Name field empty facilitates communications that are compatible with any
setting on the rotary switches.
 To use a device name in the Device Name field, set the lower rotary switch to its STORED
position. If you set the switch any other position, the result depends on the setting of the lower
rotary switch, as described in the Ethernet Port Status table.
 The configured IP parameters have no effect and are grayed out.

NOTE: The maximum length for the device name is 16 characters. Valid characters include
alphanumerics (0…9, A…Z) and underscores.

STORED positions.
(5) When the server returns a name that matches the one you configure on the IP Configuration tab, communications are OK. When there is
a mismatch, there is a communications error.
(6) The MC80 Ethernet modules will not receive an IP address from a DHCP server on application download if the IP configuration has not
changed.

CAUTION
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
The communications port can enter the idle state when the position of the rotary switches does not match
the port network configuration in the application. For example, the switches may be set to DHCP while
the application calls for a fixed IP address.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

 Get
 Trap

These are the SNMP configuration parameters:

Zone Description
SNMP Parameters on the SNMP configuration tab are divided into four categories:
 the IP addresses of SNMP manager devices
 SNMP agents
 the community names
 security
NOTE: Only 7-bit ASCII characters can be used in the character string entry fields.
IP address This zone allows you to complete the IP addresses of the SNMP managers. The modules authorize a maximum of two managers.
managers These addresses are used during possible transmission of events (TRAP). The transmission of supervised data is detailed at the topic
SNMP.
Agent This zone allows the localization and identification of an agent from the SNMP manager.
It consists of two fields:
 The Location (SysLocation) field: Indicates the physical location of the device (32 characters maximum).
 The Contact (SysLocation) field: Indicates the person to contact for device management and the method of contact (strings of 32
characters maximum).
 If you prefer to have this information assigned by an SNMP Manager tool for network management, check the SNMP Manager check
box.
Community This zone is used to define community names for the Set, Get and Trap utilities. It consists of three fields:
names  The Set field defines the community name for the Set utility (strings of 16 characters maximum). The default value of the field is
Public.
 The Get field defines the community name for the Get utility (strings of 16 characters maximum). The default value of the field is
Public.
 The Trap field defines the community name for the Trap utility (strings of 16 characters maximum). The default value of the field is
Public.
The purpose of these fields are to define the access rights for the MIB objects of the SNMP agent (local module) in relation to requests
sent by the manager.
Example: If the manager sends a SetRequest request with the community name Test and the module has the community name Public,
the request is not executed.
Security This zone contains the Enable "Authentication Failure" trap check box. Checking this box allows you to validate the transmission of an
authentication failure event (TRAP) from the SNMP agent to the configured manager. In this way, the agent warns the manager that
the request has been refused following an identification error (community name configured in the manager is different from the one
configured in the agent).

 Configuration of MC80

The following table describes the configuration parameters for CANopen Master Configuration screen:

Parameter Description
Outputs- The fallback information area contains two options, which defines the behavior of the device when the
Fallback CPU is in STOP or in HALT:
 Maintain: Maintains outputs (values are kept),
 Reset: Resets outputs (values are set to 0).

NOTE: The Bus Stop when PLC stop check box in the fallback area configuration is only available in
CANopen expert mode.
 If it is not checked: the CANopen bus remains in RUN after a PLC stop and the global strategy of
fallback is applied to the outputs according to Maintain or Reset radio button.
 If it is checked: the CANopen bus is stopped when a PLC stop; in this case, Maintain and Reset
radio buttons are greyed out.
Bus To configure the bus, it is necessary to indicate the following parameters:
Parameters  Transmission speed – 250 kBauds default
 SYNC Message COB-ID - 128 default
 SYNC Message Period - 100 ms default
 NMT inhibit time - 5 ms default. During Bootup, the CANopen Master implements a delay between
each NMT messages to avoid slave overload. The value must be given in multiple of 100 µs. The
value 0 disables the inhibit time.
 Device Bootup Time Out - 50 ms default. The global SDO timeout for the master is related to the
scanning of the network. During this time, the master reads the object 1000 of each slave to analyze
the CANopen bus configuration.
 Specific SDO timeout: 15,000 ms default. The slaves SDO timeout is necessary for devices with
long response times i.e. for accesses to the objects 1010,1011,1F50. A grid displays all present
devices with the NodeId, the name and the timeout value.

NOTE: Only 16 devices are supported in 16 possible addresses from 1…16.

The following table lists the behavior of configuring CANopen devices in Unity:

Zone Description
PDO PDOs make it possible to manage the communication flow between the CANopen Master and the
slaves. The PDO tab allows you to configure a PDO.
 Transmit PDOs: Information transmitted by the Slave to the Master,
 Receive PDOs: Information received by the Slave from the Master,
 Variables: Variables that can be mapped to the PDOs. To assign a variable to a PDO, drag
and drop the variable into the desired PDO. No variable can be assigned with a static PDO.
Error Control The Error control tab for CANopen slave modules allows you to configure monitoring.
Bootup The goal of bootup procedure tab is to bypass the standard bootup procedure for devices which
do not comply with CANopen standards.
Object Dictionary The Object Dictionary tab allows you to configure and integrate third party products, by:
 Force parameters to be transmitted even if they are unchanged, by selecting the associated
checkbox of each parameter.
 Block parameters that do not need to be sent to the device, by unselecting the associated
checkbox of each parameter.
 Set objects to a specific value just before (prologue), or just after (epilogue) the standard boot
up procedure.
 Modify the current value of an object (except read only objects), if the value box is not greyed
out. By default, if the current value is modified, the object is sent. Nevertheless, after filling the
box, you still have the choice to modify this behaviour, by removing the mark of the checkbox
in order to block the object sending. To prevent programming redundancies or conflicts,
parameters which can be modified in other tabs, Configuration, PDO or Error Control, are
greyed out in the Object Dictionary tab.
NOTE: The I/O vision of CANopen devices is based on Device DDT.

System Bits and Words

Description
MC80 supports the following system words dedicated to communication functions. Some of them already
exist on previous Premium or Quantum ranges but they are re-used with other semantic (highlighted in
Bold).

%S Bit Function Unity Rd/Wr

0 - Cold-start Rd/Wr
Normally at 0, this bit is set on 1 by:
 Reset button
 the user program

This bit is set to 1 during the first complete restored cycle of the PLC either in RUN or
in STOP mode. It is reset to 0 by the system before the following cycle.
To detect the first cycle in run after cold start, refer to %SW10.
1 - Warm-start Rd/Wr
Normally at 0, this bit is set to 1 by:
 power is restored with data save
 the user program

It is reset to 0 by the system at the end of the first complete cycle and before the
outputs are updated.
4 - Timebase 10 ms Rd
An internal timer regulates the change in status of this bit.
It is asynchronous in relation to the PLC cycle.
5 - Timebase 100 ms Rd
6 - Timebase 1 sec Rd
7 - Timebase 1 min Rd
10 - Global I/O detected error Rd
Normally at 1, this bit is set to 0 when an error on the embedded I/O or device on a
network is detected (e.g. non-compliant configuration, exchange fault, hardware fault,
etc.). The %S10 bit is reset to 1 by the system when all the detected errors have
disappeared.
11 - Watchdog overflow Rd/Wr
Normally at 0, this is set to 1 by the system as soon as the task execution time
becomes greater than the maximum execution time (i.e., the watchdog) declared in the
task properties.
12 - PLC running Rd
This bit is set to 1 by the system when the PLC is in RUN.
It is set to 0 by the system as soon as the PLC is no longer in RUN (STOP, INIT, etc.).
13 - 1st scan in RUN Rd
First cycle after switching to RUN.
Switching the PLC from STOP mode to RUN mode (including after a cold start with
automatic start in run) is indicated by setting system bit %S13 to 1. This bit is reset to
0 at the end of the first cycle of the MAST task in RUN mode
15 - Character string error Rd
Normally set to 0, this bit is set to 1 when the destination zone for a character string
transfer is not of sufficient size (including the number of characters and the end of
string character) to receive this character string.
The application stops in error state if the %S78 bit is to set to 1.
This bit must be reset to 0 by the application.
16 - Task I/O error Rd/Wr
Normally set to 1, this bit is set to 0 by the system when a fault on an in-rack module
is detected (For example, non-compliant configuration, exchange fault, hardware fault,
etc.).
This bit must be set to 1 by the user.
17 - Capacity overrun/carry Rd/Wr
Rotate shift output
Normally at 0.
During a rotate shift operation, this bit takes the state of the outgoing bit.

EIO0000002071 06/2020 141

Configuration of MC80

%S Bit Function Unity Rd/Wr

18 - Overflow or arithmetic error Rd/Wr
Normally set to 0, this bit is set to 1 in the event of a capacity overflow if there is:
 a result greater than + 32 767 or less than - 32 768, in integer (INT)
 a result greater than + 65 535 or less than 0, in unsigned integer (UINT)
 a result greater than + 2 147 483 647 or less than - 2 147 483 648, in double integer
(DINT)
 a result greater than +4 294 967 295 or less than 0, in double unsigned integer
(UDINT)
 real values outside limits
 division by 0
 the root of a negative number
 stacking up of an already full register, emptying of an already empty register.

19 - Task period overrun (periodical scanning) Rd/Wr

Normally set to 0, this bit is set to 1 by the system in the event of a time period overrun
(i.e., task execution time is greater than the period defined by the user in the
configuration or programmed into the %SW word associated with the task). The user
must reset this bit to 0. Each task manages its own %S19 bit.
20 - Index overflow Rd/Wr
Normally set to 0, this bit is set to 1 when the address of the indexed object becomes
less than 0 or exceeds the number of objects declared in the configuration.
In this case, it is as if the index were equal to 0.
Test the user program after each operation where overflow may occur, then reset to 0
if there is indeed an overflow.
When the %S20 bit switches to 1, the application stops in error state if the %S78 bit
has been to set to 1.
21 - 1st task scan in RUN
The bit %S21 indicates the first cycle of MAST task, including after a cold start with
automatic start in run and a warm start.
%S21 is set to 1 at the start of the cycle and reset to zero at the end of the cycle.
30 - Activation/deactivation of the master task Rd/Wr
Normally set to 1. The master task is deactivated when the user sets the bit to 0. This
bit is taken into consideration by the system at the end of each MAST task cycle.
40 - Local input/output fault Rd
The %S40 bit is assigned to rack 0.
Normally set to 1, this bit is set to 0 when a fault occurs on the rack's I/Os. In this case:
 the %S10 bit is set to 0
 the I/O processor LED is on
 the %Ir.m.c.Err module bit is set to 1
 this bit is reset to 1 when the fault disappears

50 - Updating of time and date via words %SW50…%SW53 Rd/Wr

Normally set to 0, this bit is set to 1 or 0 by the program or the terminal.
 set to 0: update of system words %SW50…%SW53 by the date and time supplied
by the PLC real-time clock
 set to 1: system words %SW50…%SW53 are no longer updated, therefore making
it possible to modify them
The switch from 1 to 0 updates the real-time clock with the values entered in words
%SW50…%SW53.
51 - Time loss in real-time clock Rd
The system-managed bit set to 1 indicates that the real-time clock is missing or that its
system words (%SW50…%SW53) are meaningless. In this case, the clock must be
reset to the correct time.
59 - Incremental update of the time and date via word %SW59 Rd/Wr
Normally set to 0, this bit can be set to 1 or 0 by the program or the terminal:
 set to 0: the system does not manage the system word %SW59
 set to 1: the system manages edges on word %SW59 to adjust the date and current
time (by increment)

 Configuration of MC80

%S Bit Function Unity Rd/Wr

66 - Application backup Rd/Wr
This bit is set to 1 by the user to start a backup operation. The system will detect the
rising edge to start the backup. The state of this bit is polled by the system every
second. A backup takes place only if the application in RAM is different from the one
in the flash.
This bit is set to 0 by the system when the backup is finished.
Warning:Before creating a new backup by setting bit %S66 to 1, you must test that bit
%S66 has been set to 0 by the system (which means the previous backup is finished).
Never use %S66 if it is set to 1. This may lead to a loss of data.
Bit %S66 is particularly useful after replacement of initial value %S94 and save
parameters.
78 - Stop in the event of error Rd/Wr
Normally at 0, this bit can be set to 1 by the user, to program a PLC stop on application
fault: %S15, %S18, %20.
80 - Reset message counters Rd/Wr
Normally set to 0, this bit can be set to 1 to reset the message counters %SW80 to
%SW86.
94 - Saving adjustment values Rd/Wr
Normally at 0, this bit can be set to 1 by the user to replace the initial values of the
declared variables with a ‘Save’ attribute (For example, DFB variables) with the current
values.
The system resets the bit %S94 to 0 when the replacement is made.
NOTE: This bit must be used with care: do not set this bit permanently to 1 and use
the master task only.
97 - Backup program OK Rd/Wr
This bit compares the application as executed in RAM versus the internal backup
saved to flash. Values are:
0: application backup not consistent. This state is obtained when application is auto
modified (saveparam or replace init value) and not saved using %S66.
1: application backup is consistent
116 - global Ethernet port status Rd
0: both Ethernet port link down
1: at least one port link up
118 - CanOpen IO errors Rd
Normally at 1, this bit is at 0 on detection of a fault in a device on CANopen

%SW Bit Function Rd/Wr

0 - Master task scanning period Rd/Wr
This word is used to modify the period of the master task via the user program or via
the terminal.
The period is expressed in ms (1...255 ms) %SW0=0 in cyclic operation.
On a cold restart: it takes the value defined by the configuration.
6 - IP Address LOW Rd
7 - IP Address HIGH Rd
10 - Task init First cycle after cold start Rd
If the value of the current task bit is set to 0, it means that the task is performing its
first cycle after a cold start.
 %SW10.0: assigned to the MAST task.

11 - Watchdog duration Rd
Reads the duration of the watchdog. The duration is expressed in milliseconds
(10...1500 ms).
This word cannot be modified.
12 - Modbus slave address for terminal port Rd
Gives the Modbus slave address of the CPU serial port. Modification is not taken into
account. it is 0 if the CPU does not have a Serial Port link.
14 - Commercial version of PLC processor Rd
This word contains the current Operating System (OS) version of the PLC processor.
Example: 16#0135
version: 01
issue number: 35

EIO0000002071 06/2020 143

%SW Bit Function Rd/Wr

15 - PLC processor patch version Rd
This word contains the commercial version of the PLC processor patch.
It is coded onto the least significant byte of the word.
Coding: 0 = no patch, 1 = A, 2 = B...
Example: 16#0003 corresponds to patch C.
16 - Firmware version number Rd
This word contains the Firmware version number in hexadecimal of the PLC
processor firmware.
Example: 16#0011
version: 2.1
VN: 17
17 - Error status on floating operation Rd/Wr
When an error in a floating arithmetic operation is detected, bit %S18 is set to 1 and
%SW17 error status is updated according to the following coding:
 %SW17.0 = Invalid operation / result is not a number
 %SW17.1 =Denormalized operand / result is acceptable (flag not managed by
Modicon M340 or Quantum Safety PLCs)
 %SW17.2 = Division by 0 / result is infinity
 %SW17.3 = Overflow / result is infinity
 %SW17.4 = Underflow / result is 0
 %SW17.5 to 15 = not used

This word is reset to 0 by the system on cold start, and also by the program for re-
usage purposes.
18, 19 - Absolute time counter Rd/Wr
%SW18 represents the least significant bytes and %SW19 the most significant bytes
of the double word %SD18, which is incremented by the system every 1/10th of a
second. The application can read or write these words in order to perform duration
calculations.
%SD18 is incremented systematically, even in STOP mode and equivalent states.
However, times when the PLC is switched off are not taken into account, since the
function is not linked to the real-time scheduler, but only to the real-time clock.
For Quantum safety PLC, knowing that the 2 processors must process exactly the
same data, the value of %SD18 is updated at the beginning of the mast task, and then
frozen during the application execution.
20 - 1 ms counter low Rd
21 - 1 ms counter high Rd
23 - Rotary switch value Rd
7...0 Rotary switch value(Ethernet role name) Rd
8 Rotary switch change since power up Rd
9 Rotary switch error Rd
26 - Number of requests processed Rd/Wr

MC80 Firmware Upgrade

MC80 Firmware Upgrade

Firmware Upgrade

Description
The MC80 PLC Firmware upgrade is done using Unity Loader. The MC80 PLC provides a fast and reliable
firmware upgrade from the Unity Loader to PLC through USB connection or through Ethernet connection.
For upgrading, select the correct .ldx file and then connect to the PLC.
NOTE:
 BMK C80 ••••• processors have different .ldx files.
 If an application is present before starting an upgrade then the CPU must be in stop mode. Stop
command is available from Unity Loader.
 The Firmware upgrade cannot be performed with serial port connection.

Security Features
The Firmware Upgrade feature can be enabled or disabled in Unity Pro configuration. This feature is
disabled in default state.
NOTE: Before upgrading, you have to change the Unity Pro configuration to enable the Firmware Upgrade
feature.
The following describes the Firmware upgrade process:
 When FW upgrade process is started, the CPU enters a specific state where only the communication
with Unity Loader is active and the state is shown by an LED combination.
 At the end of upgrade, the CPU will reboot with a new version and the application is stored in flash.
 In the stop mode, the CPU does a cold start and if the run option is checked, the application starts
automatically.
 If there is an error during the FW upgrade (connection broken or power outage of CPU), the CPU must
be reset and restarted with old OS.
