5.3 Positioning of the program card

The program card (PCMCIA-card) is loaded with base system e.g. QC08-BAS02 and options e.g.
QC08-RMC01.
At COLD-start the base system and the options are loaded into the PM511V(s).
The “program card” must be placed to the right of the PM511V which uses the program-card. If
several PM511V use the same program card this program card must placed on the right
rightmost PM511V which uses this program card.
Positioning of the program card(s) is depending on wheater application program dumps in flash
proms is used or not.
If application program dumps in flash proms is not used the program card(s) are positioned on
the PM511V CPUs.
If application program dumps in flash proms is used, the program card(s) are positioned in
MB510 (flash card holder) and the application program dumps in flash proms is positioned in

Chapter 6 Multiprocessor communication

6.1 General
The internal communication consists of data exchange between the PM511V CPU’s in the central
rack. The communication is performed via a common memory. The PM511V CPU which is posi-
tioned in slot #1, is the host for this common memory.

The PM511V CPU in slot #1 must have the working modes “OPERATION” (P1) or
“CONFIGURATION” (P2) to be host for the common memory. If this CPU has other working
modes (“STOPPED” or “OFFLINE”) or if the CPU is not present in the central rack. Next
PM511V CPU to the right in the central rack, can be host if the working mode is “OPERATION”
(P1) or “CONFIGURATION” (P2), else next PM511V CPU to the right is tested and so on.

Section 8.1 Introduction

Chapter 8 Backup of Application Program

8.1 Introduction
The application programs of the PM511V CPU in the AC 450RMC can be stored in a
flash card (PCMCIA).
At COLD start and at RECONFIG the PM511V CPU is loaded automatic with the appli-
cation program stored in the flash card. The PM511V CPU comes into the same mode
as the PM511V CPU had when the application program dump (DUAP) was taken.

Guidelines
• No restrictions in location of submodule and submodule carrier in controller sub-
rack. Use leftover slot on a submodule carrier if possible.
• Advant Station 130 Engineering Station (AS 130ES) and AdvaBuild On-line
Builder together with the file manager (in Windows) support the preparation of
flash cards (PCMCIA) with application dumps.

Considerations
• The system program backup and the application program backup can not be mixed
in one single flash card.
• The flash card for application backup must first be formatted using the AdvaBuild
On-line Builder.
• The application program dump (DUAP) to be used should preferably be taken
while the controller is in the operation mode (P1) with all PC-programs running.
This will ensure that no manual intervention is needed to get into full operation
after shut down and an automatic restart.
• Select a flash card that takes the actual application programs for all PM511V CPUs
in the subrack. In case the memory size of the flash card is too small use additional
flash card(s).
• Each PM511V CPU in the subrack has it own flash card which is positioned in the
PCMCIA-slot on the PM511V CPUs

At COLD start the PM511V CPUs searches for a flash card containing application pro-
grams. When the flash card is located, the PM511V CPU load the stored application
dump.

8.3 Label on the flash card

It is recommended to put a label on the flash card. The label should describe date and time
revision of the application program dump files.

8.4 Installation of flash card in the AC 450RMC controller.

Insert the flash card with application program in the PCMCIA-slot on the PM511V.
The application program card can be inserted on-line:
1. No configuration work is needed.
2. A new item representing the added program card will be created automatically in
the system status display on the operator station.
The application program card is now ready for operation. However you are advised to
make functional tests of the backup in a non-critical situation. I.e. perform a COLD
start of the controller when a possible shut down is acceptable from a process control
viewpoint.

Chapter 9 High Performance Communication bus

9.1 General
High Performance Communication bus (HPC) is a fast, low-load, Local Area Network (LAN)
for interconnection of MasterPiece 200/1 RMC stations and/or Advant Controller 450RMC
stations in a multi-drop configuration.
Carrier board SC 560 is used for the protocol stack; otherwise the same hardware applies to both
HPC and to MB300.
The PC elements HPC-WR and HPC-RD are used for communication on PC program level. The
data is routed by network, node and a channel identity. HPC-WR is used for sending of data and
HPC-RD for reading of data.
Several HPC-RD elements can read data from the same HPC-WR element. The HPC-RD
elements may even be located in all CPU systems within a multiprocessor system. HPC
messages may also be broadcasted to all nodes within a network.

9.2 Performance
Maximum size of a HPC messages is 970 byte.
An Advant Controller 450RMC station may have up to four HPC links where each SC 560
carrier board supports two links. A HPC network may contain up to 127 nodes.
A maximum forty receiving channels can be designated to a specific node. The total number of
receiving channels for one HPC node is limited to 80 channels.
The message flow through the HPC communication board SC560 is limited to 600 messages/s
for small message (typically < 200 bytes) messages.

10.2.2 Communication Interface PM511

Using processor module PM511 for the VIP function requires following hardware components
for each VIP network:
• Processor module PM511, used for execution of the protocol stack. The MODE switch on
the front panel shall always be in position CLEAR.
• Submodule CS513, used as network interface
• Submodule MB510, used as carrier for the flash prom card
• Flash prom card containing software for the TCP/IP communication stack
• Carrier board SC510, used as holder for the submodules.
Each VIP network will occupy two slots in the central rack. The carrier board SC510 must be
located just to the right of the PM511 module.
The PM511 module must be placed to the right of the module to prevent the main CPU from
catching the CS513 module used for TCP/IP.
The base system QC08-BAS04 is required for the main PM511 boards to get the boot function
for the TCP/IP CPU to work properly. The contents of the flash prom will be loaded at each
start-up of the PM511 module.
Figure 10-3 shows how to place the TCP/IP hardware in a 8-slots subrack. Slot 7 and 8 are used
for the TCP/IP interface.

10.3.2 Node Configuration

The PC element VIP-NODE is used for associating a MasterNet node number for each external
computer connected the same MasterNet network. An internet address is specified for each node
number. Optionally a host name may be specified for each node.

10.3.3 Link Configuration

The PC element VIP-LINK is used for configuration of links to an external computer. The
parameter listed below are used for definition of a link.
• Port (service), well defined and known by both end of the link
• Protocol
• Direction of the link: send, receive or bidirectional
• Transport protocol type: TCP or UDP
• Client or server for TCP links

10.3.4 Channel Configuration

The PC element VIP-CHAN is used for configuration of message channels for a link. Each
channel is associated with a specific application message, i.e. one channel is created for each
message type. A sending channel is used as an interface to the transmitting PC element VIP-W.
A receiving channel is used as an interface to PC element VIP-R. A message queue is
confederated for each receiving channel to be able to queue application messages when event
driven communication is used.

10.3.5 Application Message Configuration

Configuration of an application messages is implicitly defined by PC element VIP-W for
sending messages and VIP-R for receiving messages. Each PC element is connected to a
message channel created by PC element VIP-CHAN.
The order, and the data types that are supported by the PC elements are listed below.
• 16 bit integer values
• 32 bit integer values
• Real values
• Group data arrays
• Byte array arrays
The total number of data inputs/outputs is limit to 45 terminals per PC element. PC elements
can be linked to handle larger application messages.
The format of the message is specified by means of PC element VIP-CHAN element, e.g. byte
arrays can be null terminated or the size of the array may be included.

3BSE 016 445R0001 10-45

RMC User’s Manual
Chapter 10 VIP, Vendor Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

The interpretation of an application message is implicitly defined by the configuration of the

corresponding VIP-R PC element. The order of the data item in the message is assumed to be
the same order as the order of the data output terminals of the PC element.

10.3.6 MasterBus 300 Routing

VIP messages can be transmitted/received in any AC450 node that is connected to the same
MB300 network as the node containing the TCP/IP interface module.
Node 2 in Figure 10-7 below act as a transit node for node 1,3 and 4. Network 11 is used for
node 3 and 4, and network 12 is used for node 1. Node 2 is not directly connected to network 13
and can not act as a transit node for node 5.

The routing scheme is determined by PC element VIP-CHAN. A message received from an
external node is routed to all nodes containing a PC element VIP-CHAN defining the channel
associated with the message. A node sending a message to an external computer must contain
the VIP-CHAN element defining the sending channel.

NOTE
The real time performance in the transit node and on the MB300 network cable
should be considered when large amount of transit traffic is used.

13.1 General
Advant Controller 450RMC has four working modes. The CPU PM511V front LED
display indicates the working modes with codes “P1”, “P2”, “-3” and “-4”.
“P1”, working mode OPERATION:
The CPU executes the application program. This is an Advant Controller
450RMC normal status. The system performs control tasks and
controls process outputs.
“P2”, working mode CONFIGURATION:
The CPU does not execute the application program. The controller sys-
tem and the application program can now be configured.
“-3”, working mode STOPPED:
The CPU does not execute at all. The CPU performs self-tests of some
basic controller functions. The process outputs have a defined state (zero).
“-4”, working mode OFFLINE:
The CPU executes only low-level fault-tracing commands usually per-
formed by ABB personnel. The process outputs have a defined state (zero).
During the boot phase and during the time of transition between certain working modes the LED
display will indicate intermediate states with the help of a sequence of special codes. These codes
are relevant at fault finding and system analysis.
The multiprocessor system can be started up with a Global start-up or a Local start-up.

13.2 Global start-up

A start-up order on one CPU PM511V restarts all CPUs (PM511V) in the subrack (FB+).

Chapter 19 Fault analyses

19.1 General
If error occurs see the manual “Advant Controller 450 User’s Guide” for fault tracing.

19.2 When the system goes down

When a serious error occurs, the CPU PM511V goes down.
When this happens it is very important to print out system information from the faulty CPU.
The print out information is then to be forward to your ABB representative.

19.2.1 Print out system information

Set the start mode selector on the front of the faulty PM511V, in position “OFFLINE” and press
the “ENTER” push button. In this mode the CPU executes low-level fault-tracing commands
only.
Connect a printer to the Engineering Station to print out information from the system.
Connect the Engineering Station to the faulty PM511V.
Use the AdvaBuild On-line Builder. Select the product “Advant Controller 400” form the menu
of “Supported ABB Master Products”. After this selection is performed a new menu “Available
Activities” is displayed. Select the activity “Post Mortem Analysis”.
When the session between Engineering Station and the faulty PM511V has been established,
give the command “HARDCOPY ON” (all operations and results will be printed).
Give following commands:
SHTARG SHow TARGet system
LSYSM ALL List old and remaining SYStem Messages ALL.
LSYSHI List SYStem HIstory.
LTIMQ List TIMer Queues.
LTSL List Task Switch Log.
LTRQ List Timer Ready Queue

Note. In this mode of the CPU the communication speed between the CPU and
the Engineering Station is reduced. At communication the LED-diodes
marked “LO” on the CPU will flash (instead of the LED-diodes marked
“HI”).
