Connection in application
MDIN is generated from
- Photocell via DI
- Loop position transducer via PC-element READ-H1
- Motor drive load sensing PC function
ENHEAD, TAIL is used to release interlocking via PC logics in foreseen situations
(cobble cut, mill stop, cobble indication from upstream stand).
BLHEAD and BLKTAIL is used to extend interlocking via PC logics and available surrounding material detections.
NUW is generated by mill configuration PC element.
MDGROUP is generated by REG-G element assembling not interlocked MD signals.
ENALARM is used to block FHEAD, TAIL alarms via PC logics in foreseen situations (cobble cut, mill stop).
MDHPLS, TPLS and PERMITH, T are used as test outputs.
MDDOFF, MDUW are outputs for general tracking interlocking.
MDOUT is connected to TRAC-H1 PC element used for head, tail end tracking through the mill.

MDIN-H1

Interlocking of false head- and tail-indications are based on the fact that a certain minimum time lap
between subsequent true indications can be defined.
Set time parameters for delayed off functions must be set to a value less than the minimum time lap (0,75 time lap).
This restriction means that for short time laps the filtering and interlocking effect on the MD signal is reduced.
A head end MD indication is permitted when the time delayed off version of the interlocked MDOUT signal MDDOFF is reset.
Otherwise a FHEAD alarm pulse is generated.
A tail end MD Indication is permitted when the MDUW indication is reset
or has once been reset a time exceeding the set time delay MDUWTOFF.
Otherwise a FTAIL alarm is generated.
The built interlocking can be extended with the BLHEAD and BLKTAIL signals.
The build in interlocking can be released with the ENHEAD, TAIL signals, provided that BLKHEAD, TAIL signals are reset.
FHEAD, FTAIL alarms are deblocked with a set ENALARM or TESTMODE signal.
A sequence diagram indicating typical situations is indicated in the MD sequence diagram.
TESTMDIN input is provided to allow an extra source of MD signal to set the MDOUT signal.

MEAN-R

Mean value calculator - real MEAN-R

Summary
MEAN-R is a mean value calculator for floating number MEAN-R(C1,C2)
arithmetic (data type real) which can work in two 10 ON
11 READ ERROR 20
different modes: 12 RESET ERRCODE 21
13 MEASV MEANV 22

Fixed rate calculation: ( C1=1 ) C1 MAX1 30

MIN1 31
The sum of all MEASV input values is divided by the number SAMPLS1 32

of MEASV values to produce the MEANV mean value.

Floating rate calculation: ( C1=0 )

The sum of the C2 latest values is divided by the number C2 to produce the MEANV mean value.

When starting up the floating rate calculation the principle of "Fixed rate" is used as long as
the number of MEASV samples is less than C2. Thereafter the principle of Floating rate is established.

Call MEAN-R (C1,C2)

Call Parameters
Parameter Significance Permissible values Remarks

C1 Fixed rate calculation 0.... 1 C1=0 gives "Floating rate"

C2 Number of samples. 1 .. 100 Only if C1 = 0

Call restrictions
100 · C1 + C2 ≤ 100
C1 + C2 ≥ 1

If C1=1 (Fixed rate) C2 must be zero.

If C1=0 (Floating rate) C2 can be from one up to one hundred.

Terminals 30-32 only for "Fixed Calculation"; ie C1=1

30 MAX OR Maximum value since last time ON became active

31 MIN OR Minimum value since last time ON became active

32 SAMPLS OI Number of used samples

Calculation policy
ON activates the measurement. If ON = zero all outputs are frozen, and when ON goes from zero to one
a reset is made as below followed at the same execution by a normal sample reading.

MAX and MIN calculations are restarted when ON goes from zero to one.
Also SAMPLS, the number of samples is counted from this occasion.

READ validates a new value. If READ = zero MEASV is ignored.

RESET clears all calculation and all output values.

Terminal values MEASV, MEANV, MAX and MIN and calculation are all in data type Real.

If overflow occurs the Error and Errcode terminals are updated but the MEANV, MAX and MIN terminals are frozen.

"Fixed rate calculation" means that the sum of all MEASV values is divided by SAMPLS
to produce the MEANV mean value.

"FLOATING rate calculation" means that the sum of the C2 latest MEASV values is divided by the number C2
to produce the MEANV mean value.
In this mode the outputs MAX, MIN and SAMPLS do not exist.

When starting up the Floating rate calculation the principle of "Fixed rate"
is used as long as the number of MEASV samples is less than C2, (but the outputs MAX, MIN and SAMPLS do not exist).
Thereafter the principle of Floating rate is established.

In floating mode the maximum input MEASV value is limited to 1,000,000,000 due to the Real mode calculation
inaccuracy.
Caution: Avoid mixing insignals in floating mode which differ in size with a factor 1,000,000 or more.

TIME
The function parameter F1 controls the time between the update of the first and the last dynamic variable.
If the display contains several dynamic variables the total updating time may be more than 1 second.
Function parameter F1 TIME has possible values from 1000 to 2000 ms.
The updating time, however, has only two valid values: 1000 or 2000 ms.
This means that for all F1 values less than 2000 the update time will be 1000 ms.

DB-INS
The parameter DB-INS gives the selected database instance (element).
The following instances are available:
TERM_1, TERM_2, RSCOM3, RSCOM4.

Connect by setting e.g. "D = TERM_1".

21 O OR Output signal

22 DVDT OR Differential quotient of output signal regarding time

23 ERR OB ERRor signal

Function
The output signal O follows the input signal I with a slack; i.e. a smoothing or filtering of the I shape
with parameters telling how swiftly O shall chase the I value.
The ramp generator is activated with input signal START. The signal I must then be grater than zero.
The ramp starts with the Start-S phase, continues with the linear phase and ends with the End-S phase.
If the difference in value between I and O is sufficiently small the linear phase is not always executed.
With PARAM2 it’s possible to change ramp characteristic although the use of PARAM2 is sometimes blocked.
If so, the reason may be that a PARAM2 change should cause an over-/under-shoot.

If the START changes from TRUE to FALSE while O is greater than zero the ramp generator continues to work
until O becomes equal to zero.

OHL
Output upper high limit. The output O is not limited by this limit.
OHL is used only when calculating internal parameters in RAMP-SH.
The only limitation of the output signal O is (the lower limit) zero.

START
When START is "true" the ramp generator starts.
When START is "false" and the output signal comes to zero the ramp generator stops.

3BSE 020 638 173

PC Elements
RAMP-SH

PARAM2
When PARAM2 is "true" the ramp generator chooses the second set of parameters (ATME2/STME2)
instead of the first set (ATME1/STME1).

HOLD
HOLD causes an immediate abrubt stop of the ramp. The output signal DVDT is set to zero.
When HOLD is released the ramp goes back to work and starts with a smooth start-S phase.

HOLDS
HOLD causes a smooth end-S phase stop of the ramp.
When HOLDS is released the ramp goes back to work and starts with a smooth start-S phase.

FASTSTOP
When activated the ramp goes down to zero following the decrease rate given by the parameters ATMEF and STMEF.
The FASTSTOP order overrides both HOLD and HOLDS.
When FASTSTOP is released the input signal START must first be "false" before a new start order is accepted.

EMSTOP
When activated the ramp goes down to zero following the decrease rate given by the parameters ATMEE and STMEE.
The EMSTSTOP order overrides FASTSTOP, HOLD and HOLDS.
When FASTSTOP is released the input signal START must first be "false" before a new start order is accepted.

RESET
When activated the ramp goes momentarily and abrubt down to zero.
The RESET order overrides both EMSTOP, FASTSTOP, HOLD and HOLDS.
When RESET order is released the input signal START must first be "false" before a new start order is accepted.

O
The ramp output signal.

DVDT
Differential quotient (derivative) dV/dt of output signal O regarding time.

ERR
Output error signal indicating false parameter settings. When ERR is "true" the start order is blocked.

Parameter setting
If ξ denotes
1 for normal run with PARAM2 equal to "false",
2 for normal run with PARAM2 equal to "true",
F for FASTSTOP and
E for EMSTOP
then ATMEξ is the total ramp time from zero to the limit OHL,
the parameter STMEξ is the time of the start-S phase which also is equal to the time of the end-S phase.
The STMEξ time is included in the corresponding ATMEξ time.

The RAMP-SH accepts new parameter settings when START is "false" and output signal O is equal to zero.

Necessary condition: ATMEξ ≤ 2 · STMEξ.

If this condition is not validated the output signal ERR is set "true".

23 ERR OB ERRor signal set at error conditions.

24 ENDSPH OB END-S PHase. Signal which indicate end-s phase of the ramp function

Functions
The s-ramp generator has facilities such as:
• operations with both positive and negative reference signals.
• Orders for forced breaking down to zero of the output signal.
• Forced setting of the end-s when the input signal is exceeding the limits.
• adaptation of d2V/dt2 in the end-s phase to reduce the number of overshoots.
• Following of a reference without any s-ramp function. Bumpless transition
when switching between the input reference I and BALREF.

The s-ramp generator is activated when the input signal I ≠ output signal O.
The ramp starts with the start-s phase continues with the linear phase and finishes with the end-s phase.
In the end-s phase the output signal ENDSPH is set to true.
Depending on the size of the difference of I and O the linear phase is not always executed.
HOLD and HOLDS is used to stop the s-ramp generator.
HOLD stops the s-ramp momentarily without any s-function and HOLDS stops the s-ramp with an s-function.
FASTSTOP and EMSTOP are conditions to break down the output signal O to zero.
When FASTSTOP or EMSTOP order is released the s-ramp generator is again activated .
The EMSTOP order has a higher priority than FASTSTOP.
When the input BAL is set to true the s-ramp generator is activated until the output signal O has reached the level
of input signal BALREF. Thereafter the output signal is following BALREF.
The s-ramp generator is activated when BAL is set to false.
It is recommended that the function which generates the BALREF input signal is executed
with the same cyclicity as RAMP-SSH.
When the s-ramp generator is activated to reach the level of the BALREF-reference it is recommended that
the parameter STME is set to a minimum value and the parameter MAXSLP is set to a maximum value.

ξ is the channel number which varies from one up to C1.

Connection in application
EN is generated from PC logics for the motor drive.
ROTDIR is a parameter.
TEST is generated from PC logics for photocell test.
LP output is connected to element CTRL-Hl evaluating the speed corrections for auto loop controlled
motor drives.
MD is connected to PC element MDIN-Hl for interlocking of photocell indications.
SYERR is connected to PC element SEQ-Hl for sequence control of overriding auto loop minimum
tension control. The signal is used as an alarm.

Function
The element reads MD and SON from DSDP 160 status register.
SON ([Link]) is set by DSDP160 when a missing synchronizing pulse is indicated.
SON is reset when the element reads the DSDP160 status register.
As the loop position LP value is incorrect during the 1500 µs that follows a detected synchronizing error
the last correct value is memorized during this time.
The 1500 µs time delay is also used to ensure a minimum duration of the SYERR indication.
The measured Loop Position output is given as an integer value 0..255.
The ROTation DIRection is set to give a Loop Position measured value that increases
with the detected material moving from an entry to a normal loop position.

The measured values are delayed a time corresponding to the transport length L.
L = the distance between the transducer and the actuator.
On each execution cycle the material transport speed or length or time (= LPCNT) measured by a pulse counter
is fed into the PC-element together with the measured VALUE
which both are saved in "circular buffered" registers (see figure below) .
With this information the time corresponding to the length L is accurately calculated.
This calculated length (=L) is compared to the physical length (=LENGTH) adjusted with actuator
and/or measurement time constant (=TCORR) input to the element
and at smallest difference between the two the time delay is approximated.

Working principle
The RFAPC-R PC-element make system calls once when starting up to find the DSP data base elements
which have configured the AF100 communication.
The CI520 communication module address is then found inside the DSP data base element.
Thereafter the RFAPC-R element just reads from the CI520 dual port memory.

Data are sent on the AF100 bus in the form of packages each containing 32 bytes.
Due to the short minimum cyclicity time the RFAPC-R element only uses one data package.

The DSP data base element will not create any DAT elements. If some DATs already exist, they are ignored
and will not be scanned.

This element is not affected by the APP command “Data Set Communication Scan Times”.

It’s absolutely necessary that the configuration is the same at both ends. It is no automatic checking of this.

Recommended DSP properties are given below. Please observe the stated number of Integers, Reals etc.
If Booleans are needed packing and unpacking of them into Integers by standard procedures are recommended.

Several RFAPC-R elements can read in parallel; i.e. share the same function parameter (and DSP element).

Mixture on the AF100 bus

PC-elements FDC-W, FDC-R, STAPC-W and RFAPC-R and normal DataSets can be used together
and communicate concurrently on the same AF100 cable as long as each of those PC-elements in principle
utilizes its own DSP data base element.
As RFAPC-R shares its format with the dataBaseElement DSP’s DataSets the element RFAPC-R
can even communicate with them.

The APC has a built in end adaptor.

Data Base Dimensioning

Function
General
The sequencing element is used for sequence control of manually controlled, auto loop controlled
and minimum tension controlled main drives.
Manually controlled stand
For a manually controlled stand call parameter C1 is set to zero resulting in calculation of upper part of function diagram only.
With the group addressing numbers NUW, NDW, NDDW, NUW and STARTTLC equal to zero
the output of the corresponding multiplexer functions are reset.
Auto controlled stand
For an auto loop or minimum tension controlled stand call parameter C1 is set to 1
resulting in calculation of a complete function according to the SEQ-H1 diagram.
Auto loop control
Parameter STARTTLC indicates the number of drives upstream of the loop controlled interstand section
where the loop reference is switched to a position to suite the passing of the tail end.
The set MAXTTLC (s) time the control is blocked after the loop position is changed to tail position.
The set MAXTHLC (s) time defines the maximum time from the head end enters the roll gap to the
integral control is deblocked.
The loop control is blocked with two externally generated signals BLKAC and HOLDAC.
Setting BLKAC means that the control is blocked the set MAXTTLC time after the LACT signal,
activating the looper roll, is reset.
Setting HOLDAC means that the integral part of the control is blocked with the proportional part
still deblocked.
The MCDON signal, generated by Manual set up correlation function, blocks auto control
as a result of the operator pressing the manual control selection push-button a certain time.
The MCW signal is set to alarm the operator that a manual control action has to take place
due to disturbance in loop transducer function. The control is blocked with a set MCW signal.
Minimum tension control
The set DELTTC (s) time defines the delay time after the head end enters the roll gap until the
control is deblocked.
The set MAXTTC (s) time defines the maximum time allowed with the control deblocked.
The control is blocked with two externally generated signals BLKAC and HOLDAC.
Setting BLKAC means that the control is blocked immediately.
Setting HOLDAC means that the integral part of the control is blocked with the proportional part
still deblocked.
The MCDON signal, generated by Manual set up correction function, blocks auto control
as a result of the operator pressing the manual control selection push-button a certain time.
Setting the EXTENTC input parameter flag makes the tension control debouched the time defined
by the MAXTTC parameter.
With a reset EXTENDTC parameter the tension control is debouched until the W3 tracking signal
indicates material head end before next downstream located roll gap.

Function
Reset mode
With the SEL flag reset all output values are derived directly from a RSETV parameter.
The INLIM indication is reset.
Manual, pass schedule, buffer register set up
Entering of manual pass schedule or buffer register set up values is blocked with the manual or auto correction
activated via set MCF and ACF signals. The blocking is indicated by the EBLK output.
With an activated MEF, PEF or BEF pulse input the corresponding value MEV, PEV or BEV is transferred
via the limit function and linear ramp to the output value of the ramp. The ramp slope is determined by the ESLOPE
parameter indicating rate of change in increment per sample time. The entered limited ramp input value is transferred
to EV output for used as an echo indication of the accepted value. The set HLIM, LLIM values are continuously
transferred to OHLIM, OLLIM outputs for use as limits to the functions communicating directly with the MMC equipment.

Manual correction
Manual correction overrides manual, pass schedule, buffer register set up and auto correction.
The input signal MCF is set as long as the understand section controlled by the R-factor is selected for manual
increase/decrease correction. The internal signal MCFI is set as long as the operator activates the increase/decrease device
to change the set up value. With MCFI set, the sum of MCINC and actual ramp output forms a new EV via the limit function.
The ramp output is set equal to EV as the MCF makes the ramp output balanced to its input.

Auto correction
is included if call parameter C1=1. Auto correction overrides both manual, pass schedule and buffer register set up.
With the ACF signal set the auto correction is deblocked.
The input AINC, increment is adapted to give constant dynamics independent from master reference speed level, MREF,
and R-factor OUTV. Connecting the maximum speed, VMAX, of the motor drive to MREF input
means that the dynamics is slower for a slower actually used speed level. The adapted AINCR value forms the increment
to be added to actual ramp output to form a new EV via the limit function. The ramp output is set equal to EV
as the ACF makes the ramp output balanced to its input. With ENRANGE set the range of change of OUTV is limited
within ± ACRANGE% from the value of EV in the moment the auto correction is debouched via a set ACF signal.
Output value selection
With the WST flag reset the ramp output value is connected to AUXOUTV and the RSETV is connected to OUTV
and used in the calculation of OINV.
With the WST flag set the ramp output value is connected to OUTV and is used in calculation of OINV.
The RSETV is connected to AUXOUTV.
Save and recall function
With the ACF and RCEN flags set a time exceeding the SAVETON time the sum of RCEV and RCCORR values are saved
as a SAVEDV output.
The set SAVETON time delay is set to a time corresponding to normal setting time of the auto control
to have the saved value correspond to settled material head end control conditions.
The RECALL input flag is set by sequence control logic as soon as the saved valued, SAVEDV, can be recalled.
The saved value is not recalled if a manual correction, manual, buffer or pass schedule entry, with the auto correction blocked,
has changed the ramp output after the saving.
The recalled value is restored via the linear ramp.
The rate of change is determined from the set RCSLOPE parameter indicating increments per sample time.

 PC Elements
SHIFT-BG

Calculation policy:

As long as terminal SHI is valid one new value is read and one shift is made each execution.
The shift is made in the direction given by the terminal F/B.

The output bar value is scaled according to the formula:

100 · (Value - Min)/(Max - Min)

The bar length is limited to be within the range 0 and 99.99.

If the maximum or minimum value is changed the whole register content is rescaled.

Rescaling is done within the number of executions given by the terminal NUSS.

Tagging, i.e. giving some bars different colours, is made by adding offsets according to this formula:

Tag · 100 + [Scaled Value]

which means that group output data will vary within 0 to 999.99.

The tag calour given by the one-hundred digit is thus not included in any rescaling.

The terminals F/B and NUSS are only read by the element at the initiation and when an element reset is done.
This means that the shift direction and the number of element executions needed for a recalculation
cannot be changed when the element is active with shift or calculations.

4 NUSS is greater than the call parameter.
5 The maximum value is less than or equal to the minimum value.

Execution times
· Base time: 17 µs.
· Reset: +23 µ s +1.2 · ξ µs.
· Shift: +35 µs +1.4 · ξ µs.
· New Max or Min: +20 µs.
· Bar re-calculation: +10 µs + 32 · [ξ/NUSS] µs.

"ξ" denotes here the value of the Call parameter C1.

The given numbers shall be added to give the total time for a given case.
E.g. a reset of a SHIFT-BG(40) element takes 17 + 23 + 1.2 · 40 µs = 88 µs.
and a shift of this element takes 17 + 35 + 1.4 · 40 µs = 108 µs.

"[ξ/NUSS]" represents the Call parameter divided with the value of terminal "NUSS".
If it's not an integer it's rounded off upwards till the next integer.

If a SHIFT-BG(100) element with SHIFT=0 and NUSS=1 gets a new Min value
the first execution will take about 17 + 20 + 10 + 32 · 100 = 3247 µs or 3.2 ms.

If this is considered a too long time the re-calculation can be shared by several consecutive executions.

If the cycle time is 200 ms and it's acceptable that the re-calculation is made within 1 second
then the re-calculation can be distributed on five cycles by setting NUSS = 5.

If so the first execution will take only 17 + 20 + 10 + 32· [100/5] = 687 µs.
The next executions will take about 17 + 10 + 32 · [100/5] = 667 µs each.

If shifting is going on for this element during the re-calculation (SHIFT=1)

additional 35 + 1.4 · 100 = 1435 µs have to be added in all cases above.

The indicated times are approximate. Floating value calculations differ and sometimes the calculations can be simplified.
E.g. if Value < Min only half the time is needed to get a zero bar length output.

Capability
PC element execution time is about 50 µs for a maximum size element and about 40 µs for a minimum size element.
Everything measured in AC450. Cyclicity: Minimum time interval 1 ms.
Requirement: If such a fast cyclicity not much else can be sent on this AF100 bus.
If lower cyclicity more elements can be used also together with common dataSet communication.
Capacity: Maximum 32 bytes altogether out of which Integers, Long integers and Reals consume four bytes each.

The protocol, no Booleans, four bytes per signal etc. is wholly given by the APC elements AFTRA and AFREC.
As it is the same as the format of the dataBaseElement DSP’s DataSets the elements STAPC-W and RFAPC-R
can even communicate with them.

Working principle
The STAPC-W PC-element make system calls once when starting up to find the DSP data base elements
which have configured the AF100 communication.
The CI520 communication module address is then found inside the DSP data base element.
Thereafter the STAPC-W element just writes to the CI520 dual port memory.

Data are sent on the AF100 bus in the form of packages each containing 32 bytes.
Due to the short minimum cyclicity time the STAPC-W element only uses one data package.

The DSP data base element will not create any DAT elements. If some DATs already exist, they are ignored
and will not be scanned.

This element is not affected by the APP command “Data Set Communication Scan Times”.
The DSP element property “CycleTim” is however important. It decides how often the data packages are sent
on the AF100 bus.

It’s absolutely necessary that the configuration is the same at both ends. It is no automatic checking of this.

Recommended DSP properties are given below. Please observe the stated number of Integers, Reals etc.
If Booleans are needed packing and unpacking of them into Integers by standard procedures are recommended.

Mixture on the AF100 bus

PC-elements FDC-W, FDC-R, STAPC-W and RFAPC-R and normal DataSets can be used together
and communicate concurrently on the same AF100 cable as long as each of those PC-elements in principle
utilizes its own DSP data base element.
As STAPC-W shares its format with the dataBaseElement DSP’s DataSets the element STAPC-W
can even communicate with them.

Hardware
An SC510 Interface module carrier board equipped with a CI520 Communication Interface submodule
connected with an AF100 modem TC625. This modem shall be connected to the AF100 bus
which is built by an ordinary 75 ohms coaxial cable with 75 ohms end adaptor at each end.
The APC has a built in end adaptor.

Data Base Dimensioning

At the same time as the DSP data base elements DSP are created at least one DAT element, although not used,
must also be created.

Warning #1
It’s absolutely necessary that the configuration which is used (i.e. the number of Integers, Reals etc.)
is the same at both ends.
It is no automatic checking of this - it’s completely up to the user to control it.

Warning #2
There is no time-out error in the receiver if the sender stops sending.
Error is only given if the AF100 bus is broken.

Warning #3
If the APC element AFREC is used for reception, it must be specified for eight signals.
Otherways Error 3402 will be given by that element.
If less than eight signals are used fill up with unused dummies.
The reason for this is that STAPC-W always sends one data package of 32 bytes
and that AFREC must expect just that in order not to signalise "error".

Function
STRIP-TR composes segment code data for an optional number of segments given by C1.
The data of the SEGGRP outputs can e.g be used by an operator station for displaying individual strips, strip defects etc
in rolling mills or processing lines. Subsequent strips may be displayed with different colours
and defects with symbols, colours or patterns.
The segment codes are packed as Integer Long values at output SEGGRP1 .. SEGGRPC4.
The lowest bits in the SEGGRP output contain the code of the segment with the lowest position.
The number of segments per SEGGRP output is implicitly defined by the total number of segment codes
according to the table below.
Call parameter C2 defines the total number of segment codes and parameter C3 defines the number of strip codes.
Segment code 0 ... C3-1 are used for indication of strips. Strip code = 0 indicates an empty segment, i.e no strip.
The remaining segment codes (C3 .. C2-1) may be used for controlling individual segments for indication of defects e t c.
STRIP-TR elements can be linked. In this case the element handling gets the last segment to be executed first
as can be seen in example 2.

STRIP-TR

Examples
In the examples below a rolling mill is divided into 100 segments. The size of the group data vectors are dimensioned for five
elements, i.e. C5 = C7 = 5, which gives the possibility to track 5 strip tails and 5 defects.
Totally four segment codes are used (C2 = 4). The first three segment codes are used for strip indication (C3 = 3).
The last segment code is used for indication of defects. The following patterns are used in the examples:

Example 1.
No Strip Strip code 1 Strip code 2 Defect

One STRIP-TR element is used in this example. Input START = 1 and input ISCD = 2 (strip code 2). Three strips are currently
visible with strip tails at position 36 and 97. The third element of the SPOS input should be < 0, otherwise segment 1 .. 25 would
be indicated as empty, i.e no strip. Three strips are currently visible with strip tails at position 36 and 97.

Two STRIP-TR element handling 50 segment each are used in this example. Input START = 51 for the first element and 1 for
the second element. Output SCD_FRST of the first element is connected to input ISCD of the second element, i.e the segment
code of segment 51 determines the code of segment 50 handled by the second element. Three strips are currently visible with
strip tails at position 3, 36 and 97. Segment 1 and 2 are indicated as empty, i.e no strip.

10C2 + 2 VALC2 IC1 VALue C2. Value to be inserted into the text.

ξ varies from 1 up to C2.

Function
TEXT1 is used to assemble a text line of up to 8 fields. These can be of type B, I, IL, T, TR, R or A
according to the call parameter C1. The call parameter C2 gives the number of fields to be assembled.
If the data type is A then the call parameter C3 indicates how many characters are included in the text.

Location of Fields
The value for each field is given at the input VAL.
POS specifies in which position in the line (1 .. C4) the first position of the field is to be placed.

Handling of Integers (I) and Long Integers (IL)

The length of the field is given by the function parameter FORM1. The value is written right adjusted
within the field (POS..(POS+FORM1-1)).
If FORM1 = 0 the field length for I defaults to 6 and for IL to 11.
If a (long) integer cannot be accommodated within the field length the value is replaced with "*" in the entire field.

TEXT1

Handling of Time (T)

For time (T) the field length is always 10. Time is written out in the form hours:minutes:[Link].
The decimal part is specified to 1 digit.

Handling of Real Numbers (R) and Real Time (TR)

For these data types FORM1 gives the total length whereas FORM2 gives the number of digits in the decimal part
of the number. If the number is too small it is written out in exponential form
with the number of characters accommodated in the field.
If FORM1 = FORM2 = 0 a field of 15 characters with 3 characters for the decimal part of the number is used.
The decimal point and the sign are included in the total field length.
If the data type real is required to be written out in exponential form FORM1 is set to the total field length
and FORM2 is set to the negative of the number of characters in the exponent.

Handling of Text (A) and Boolean (B)

The field size for a text is the size of the text concerned.
If ’$DATE’ or ’$TIME’ is given at the input the current date and time are written in the form year:month:day
and hour:minute:[Link] respectively.
If a character sequence is to be repeated on a line a text consisting of a dollar sign ($) followed by a number and the text
which is to be repeated is entered.
For example, ’$60*’ gives a line of 60 ’*’. A Boolean variable occupies 1 character.

Connection in application
ENTRAC1 is set by PC logics to indicate that the motor drive is running in coordinated mode of operation.
ENALARM is normally reset when the motor drive is not acting as Working STand, WST.
PN-1 is generated from tracking function of nearest upstream stand.
MD is generated as the interlocked version of material detector signal.
VHEADN-1 is generated from speed information cascade of nearest upstream stand.
VHEADN and VTAILN-1 are generated from speed information cascade of stand N.
VTAILN is generated from speed information cascade of nearest downstream stand N+1.
WL1, 2, 3 are generated from function length calculation.
MDC is the not interlocked version of the nearest downstream material detector signal.
ENHCIND, ENCCIND reflects the cobble indication selected by operator.
BLKHCIND set by PC logics.
BLKCCIND set by PC logics.
TESTMODE is generated from the material detection test function.
W1, W2, W3, P outputs are connected to sequence control PC- element via formed group registers.
LATE HEAD, TAIL are alarms.
HLMON, TLMON as well as HL, TL are test outputs.
HCIND, CCIND, CIND are connected to alarm functions and used to initiate cobble cut operation of upstream located shears.
SETMDIND is used to set P signal, independent from a MD indication.
LMD is generated as the interlocked version of a motor load based material detection signal.
ENTRAC2 is normally set to enable tracking when the motor drive is not acting as Working STand, WST.

Function
General
The tracking element consists of individual functions for head and tail:
- Start tracking
- Tracking
- Stop tracking
The functions for head and tail tracking are basically equal.
Separate head and tail tracking functions means that a passing head and tail end can be followed simultaneously.
All length settings are made in millimeter.
The length resolution of the tracking function is equal to travelled length at maximum speed during one programme cycle time.
Enable tracking
The tracking function is deblocked when any of signals ENTRAC1, ENTRAC2 or TESTMODE are set. Otherwise all output
signals are reset. The signals are also reset for a detected cobble in roll gap. See cobble detection.
Start tracking
The head and tail tracking is started on head and tail indications of the following signals
- P signal indicating material in roll gap of upstream located stand N-1.
- MD signal indicating material in hot metal detector located before the roll gap.
- LMD signal indicting material in own roll gap.

Starting on PN-1 signal means that the length integrator is preset with the set length LSS millimeter
between the roll gaps of own and upstream stand.
Starting on MD signal means that the length integrator is preset with the set LMS length in millimeter between the detector
and the roll gap.
Starting on LMD signal means that the length integrator is preset with zero length.
A started tracking is indicated by the signals HLMON or TLMON (length measurement running).
Tracking
The preset integrator decreases its output value towards zero as the head and tail end approaches the roll gap.
With the head and tail end after the roll gap the integrated value is negative.
Head end trackings are based on the output material speed VHEADN-1 of upstream stand N-1 with the head end
still before roll gap of stand N.
With the head end after the roll gap the tracking is based on the output material speed VHEADN.
Tail end trackings are based on material speed VATILN-1 corresponding to input material speed to stand N
with the material tail end between stand N-1 and N.
With the tail end after the roll gap of stand N the tracking is based on material speed VTAILN
corresponding to input speed of stand N+1.
The integrated length value is compared to the warning length values WL1.....WL3.
When the integrated value plus half an increment is less than the length values WLl...3
corresponding output flags W1...3 are set or reset depending on head or tail tracking.
The P signal is set/reset when the integrated length is less than zero and a material detection MD or LMD signal
corresponding to the passing head- or tail-end before roll gap has been indicated.
With the SETMDIND flag set the P signal is set/reset when the integrated length is less than zero
independently from a previous MD or LMD material detection.
With no proper MD or LMD material detection signals integrated length less than set CL value
and a proper MDC material detection signal after the roll gap a LATE HEAD and TAIL alarm is given
as a 5 seconds pulse to indicate the failing material detection MD signal before roll gap.
Simultaneously a delayed forced setting/resetting of the P signal occurs.
The alarm function is blocked with a reset ENALARM signal.

Stop tracking
The tracking is stopped when integrated length indicates that head-or tail-end has passed the CL distance
between roll gap and subsequent material detector generating the MDC indication
and the MDC indication has been set/reset a time exceeding the set HCINTON time.

PC Elements
TRAC-H1

Cobble detection
The tracking element includes two supervising functions to indicate that the material has passed
and is not stuck in the roll gap of a selected working stand.
During head end tracking the MDC material detection signal must be set within the set HCINDTON time delay
with the integrated length less than the length CL between roll gap and the MDC material detector.
Otherwise a HCIND signal is set to indicate that material has not passed the roll gap during threading of head end.
The HCIND signal can be blocked with a set BLKHCIND flag or a reset ENHCIND flag.
The HCINDTON time delay shall be set to allow a tolerance for normal inaccuracy in the tracking
and MDC material detection signal.
With the P signal set, and tracking stopped, a continuous cobble supervision is activated throughout the rolling
of the material remaining to tail end indication.
A CCIND flag is set to indicate material stuck in roll gap when the MDC material detection after roll gap has been reset
a time exceeding a set CCINDTON time in milliseconds.
With this time elapsed and the P signal set a CCIND flag is set to indicate material stuck in roll gap.
The CCINDTON signal shall be set to a time long enough to prevent occasional failures in the MDC indication
to give false cobble indications.
The CCIND signal can be blocked with a set BLKCCIND flag or a reset ENCCIND flag.
A set HCIND or CCIND flag sets a CIND output flag.
A set CIND flag makes the tracking to stop and the W1-3 and P output signal reset.
The CIND flag is reset after a 5 seconds time delay.

PC Elements
VIP-CHAN

Function
The element is used for configuration of message channels used for exchanging application messages
with an external computer associated with a MasterNet network, a node number and a link identity.
Input terminal CHAN defines the identity of the local channel that is used for the connection of the PC-element
VIP-W or VIP-R to the channel.
MSGID, Message identity
Input terminal MSGID defines the message identity that must be well defined and known by both end parts of the link.
The message identity is included in the header part of the message transferred on the link
and is used to separate between messages on the same link.
FORMAT, Message format
Input terminal FORMAT defines the message format used for the channel.
The message format is specified as a code consisting of three digits XYZ.
The least significant digit Z determines the format used for byte array data usually used for character data.
The second least digit Y determines the format for group data in a message.
The most significant digit X defines the format for simple data such as integer data and real data.
The format selected for byte array data and group data affect the date representation in the actual message sent on the link.
The selected format for simple data does not affect the data representation.

Data type Format Description

Int16 0YZ PC element VIP-R indicates illegal message length if the message does not contain enough
Int32 with data to update all Int16, Int32 and Real outputs.
Real 1YZ PC element VIP-R will not indicate error when the message is too short.
Outputs are set to 0 if there is no corresponding data in the received message.
Group data X0Z A 2-byte header preceeds the data for each group data array.
The header contains number of elements in the array.
The number of elements in the array sent by PC element VIP-W is determined by call
parameter C5 or by the corresponding element in the GSIZE input if C9 is set to 1.
PC element VIP-R sets remaining elements in the group data outputs to 0 if there are no
corresponding data in the message. If C9 is set to 1 the length of the group data array
is indicated in the GSIZE output.
X1Z No header is used for the group data. The number of elements in the vector sent by PC
element VIP-W is determined by call parameter C5 or by the corresponding element in the
GSIZE input if C9 is set to 1. PC element VIP-R reads C5 number of vector elements
from the message for each group data vector. If the message is too short the remaining
elements in the group data outputs are set to 0. If C9 is set to 1 the length of the group data
vectors is indicated in the GSIZE output.

252 3BSE 020 638

 PC Elements
VIP-CHAN

Data type Format Description

Byte XY0 A 2-byte header preceeds the data for each byte array. The header contains the number of
array data bytes/characters in the array.
The number of bytes in the array sent by PC element VIP-W is determined by call
parameter C7 or by the corresponding element in the ASIZE input if C9 is set to 1.
PC element VIP-R sets remaining elements in the byte array outputs to ASCII blanks
if there are no corresponding data in the message.
If C9 is set to 1 the length of the byte array is indicated in the ASIZE output.
XY1 No header is used for the byte arrays.
The number of bytes/characters in the array sent by PC element VIP-W is determined by
call parameter C7 or by the corresponding element in the ASIZE input if C9 is set to 1.
PC element VIP-R reads C7 number of bytes from the message for each byte array. If the
message is too short the remaining bytes in the byte array outputs are set according to the
ASCII input. If C9 is set to 1 the length of the byte arrays is indicated in the ASIZE output.
XY2 Byte arrays are treated as null terminated strings with variable length.
PC element VIP-W removes trailing space characters and puts a null character at the end of
the string. PC element VIP-R reads max C7 number of characters from the message for
each byte array. If the string is shorter than C7 the remaining characters in the byte array
outputs are set according to the ASCII input.
If C9 is set to 1 the length of the byte arrays is indicated in the ASIZE output.
XY3 Byte arrays are treated as null terminated strings with fixed length.
PC element VIP-W send C7 number of characters ended with a null character.
PC element VIP-R reads C7 number of bytes from the message for each byte array.
Illegal message length is indicated if the string is shorter than C7 characters.

QTYPE, Queue type and QSIZE, Queue size

Input terminal QSIZE determines the number of messages that can be queued in the receiving channel.
Input terminal QTYPE defines the the type of the queue used.
If type "0" is selected the VIP-CHAN element will indicate Queue Overflow if messages have been dropped due to a full queue.
If type "1" is selected the oldest (first) message is cancelled if the queue is full and a new message is inserted in its place.
No overflow indication is generated in this case (for type 1).
Queue type "0" is usually used for event driven messages. To avoid losing messages due to queue overflow
both the sender’s cycle time and the receiving VIP-R element’s cycletime should be considered when selecting queue size.
Queue type "1" is normally used for cyclic messages containing HMC,Human Machine Communication data etc.
For type "1" the queue size is normally dimensioned to only one position in order always to get only the latest message.
TIMEOUT, Time-out supervision
Input terminal TIMEOUT determines the maximum time to wait for a message before a time-out indication is generated.
The alarm is given by the VIP-R element connected to the channel.
Inside the VIP-CHAN element this TIMEOUT value is set to the nearest higher multiple of CYCTIME of PC element VIP-R.
If TIMEOUT is set to zero the supervision is disabled.

Re-configuration
After a configuration has been accepted, i.e. corresponding ERR output terminal is set to zero,
no parameter change attempts will succeed until next system initialization.

Error handling
The output terminal ERR is set when an error is detected.
For linked elements any detected error is signalized to succeeding chain elements.
In linked chains the ERR output of the last element must therefore be studied .
Output terminal ERRTYPE gives the error code:

PC Elements
VIP-LINK

Function
The element is used for configuration of links to an external computer associated with a MasterNet network and a node number.
Protocol
Input terminal PROT specifies the vendor protocol to be used for the link.
Protocol numbers 0 to 19 are reserved for standard AC450 RMC protocols.
Protocol description is given in "VIP User’s guide".
Direction
Input terminal DIR specifies the link direction that can be defined as "sending", "receiving" or "bidirectional".
Port (Service)
Each link is associated with a port (5001.......65535) that must be well defined and known by both ends of the link.
Several links can be associated with the same port (service) provided that the same protocol is used for all the links.
Transport protocol
Input terminal TCP/UDP defines the link transport protocol.
TCP, Transmission Control Protocol links are reliable with confirmation of transmitted data.
TCP links are normally used for event driven data.
UDP, User Datagram Protocol links are unconfirmed and shall normally be used only for cyclic messages.
Client/Server
When establishing TCP links one part acts as connection server for a well defined port and the other part acts as client.
A connection server listen to connection requests from clients.
When a request is accepted by the server the actual application message transfer can begin.
A client is normally seen as the sending part who wants the server to make some service on the data;
e.g. displaying, controlling etc.
Input terminal CLN/SRV is set to one if this end of the TCP link acts as connection server.
The link direction is independant of whether this end is server or not, e.g. the link can be used both for sending
and/or for receiving.

Re-configuration
After a configuration has been accepted, i.e. corresponding ERR output terminal is set to zero,
no parameter change attempts will succeed until next restart of the network interface.

Function
Source address
The source address for the application message is implicitly defined by the channel identity CHAN.
The channel is associated with a link to a remote computer by means of the PC elements VIP-NODE,
VIP-LINK and VIP-CHAN.
Element linking
Several elements can be linked together to form one single message.
The order of the data values in the message is determined by the execution order.
Input FIRST is set to one for the first element in the chain
and input terminal LAST is set to one for the last element in the chain.
Execution control
Message sending can be periodic and/or event driven. (I.e. a message can be both cyclic and event driven at the same time.)
CYCTIME specifies the time interval used for periodic reading. Inside the PC element this value is set to the nearest higher
multiple of CYCTIME defined for the first element in the chain (the header element). CYCTIME=0 disables cyclic sending.
For linked elements the sending interval is decided by the header element.
The ACT input is used for event controlled reading. Reading is activated at positive edge when ACT changes 0-->1
i.e. from zero to one. This input of a linked chain controls the whole chain.
