Issue When converting some logic from IEC61131 to IEC61499 often we find time measures using TON or TOF. Thinking about developing this in IEC61499 might be difficult, but it is possible. Resolution This knowledge base intends to show how we can monitor the time for a condition.

Issue Architecture using Modicon M580 with PTP protocol (PMEGPS0100) and the solution accuracy Resolution The EcoStruxure architecture and platform is open and interoperable, as noted in this document. The transparency of the Modcion M580 ePAC controller enables multiple architectures without the need for switches while maintaining network transparency. As it is open and transparent, it allows the use of a third-party module from Monaghan (approved) using the PTP protocol to guarantee an accuracy of 1ms for the SOE (Sequence Of Events) digital inputs.

Issue EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link uses Patterns to crate, update and delete Assets and Attributes within AVEVA System Platform. EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link can also be configured to create Patterns. Resolution The aim of this document is to provide a step by step guide for creating a Pattern for EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link. It provides the user with an EcoStruxure Control Expert Project and a corresponding Template for AVEVA System Platform.

Issue How to work with a TÜV Rheinland certified controller, Modicon M580 Safety ePAC, within the EcoStruxure Process Expert? Resolution The EcoStruxure™ Process Expert supports users to create, configure, program, and deploy process and safety applications to the Modicon M580 Safety controller. The Modicon M580 Safety controller is added as part of the EcoStruxure™ Process Expert system architecture, providing seamless transparency connections into the system network. The EcoStruxure™ Process Expert handles the process logic part for M580 Safety controllers, while the safety related part will be handled by the control participant, ensuring safety functions and process control are separated and independent within a common engineering environment. Attached document will show how this is possible.

Issue If you ever tried to link EcoStruxure Plant Data Expert: Essential Nodes directly to EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor Nodes, you will find that EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor Nodes do not accept the CMS payload which EcoStruxure Plant Data Expert: Essential Nodes produce. Resolution This is an article to teach us how we can use EcoStruxure Plant Data Expert: Essential Nodes with EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor Nodes with the introduction of Change Node within our Flow.

C Resolution This document defines in functional terms the way in which the SimSci APC, running on a dedicated PC Server, will connect to DCS OPC Server. The document should be used as the basis for the configuration of the additional tags and logic.

Issue In a multi-core system such as Modicon M660, performance issues such as uneven CPU load distribution, jitter in cyclic tasks or unexpected task interference may occur when all tasks are executed on the same CPU core by default. Resolution To improve task scheduling, optimize performance and reduce interference, EcoStruxure Automation Expert Motion allows assigning task group to specific CPU core.

Issue I would like to upgrade the firmware of my Modicon Edge Compute Node module to overcome published vulnerabilities identified in the previous firmware version or gain access to features delivered in a newer version. Resolution The aim of this article is to provide a step-by-step guide to properly upgrade the firmware of the Modicon Edge Compute Node BMEECN0100H from V1.01.38 and earlier to V1.02.03.

Issue It is often a puzzle to many on where C# comes into play in EAE. Well, C# “lives” in the HMI and are found beneath Symbols that we create as part of a CAT. The next question then comes on how does the C# Codes get called to execute, where exactly is the entry point? And after, how do we debug our codes, or at least know what our codes are doing? Resolution This Knowledge Base article is meant to “demystify” the questions raised by letting us operate on a sample Solution provided. By the end of the lesson, we will: Understand the structure of C# Codes in EAE and how it interacts with HMI. Learn a quick and dirty way of Debugging our C# Codes using .NET MessageBox method.

Issue SE.IoModbus Library is suitable when the number of Registers on the Slave are limited. This is because building up the hardware configuration that is required for bulk communication will require too much time trying to instantiate many CATs and configuring them individually. Resolution With the use of SE.ModbusGateway Library, large number of Registers can be easily created. This article serves to guide us on how to use the Library for the purpose of bulk creating Registers on a large MODBUS distributed IO.

Issue I want to use Transitions and Branches in an EcoStruxure Automation Expert sequence. Resolution This knowledgebase article describes how to use the sequence library transition and branching function blocks to create a managed sequence. It describes how they work and interact to create sequences that can be controlled by jumping to specific steps, rather than simply stepping through using the inbuilt monitoring timers. Although EcoStruxure Automation Expert V23.0 will bring the new Procedural Library, this will only be a front-end to enable users to more easily create sequences that will be built using these sequence library function blocks. Understanding how they work will still be important for troubleshooting.
