Introduction This document aims to assist users to configure PLC Viewer App, which runs on AVEVA System Platform. With this configuration, the user will be able to view and navigate through the PLC logic on the supervision system.

Issue The IEC 61131-3 not only describes the PLC programming languages themselves, but also offers comprehensive concepts and guidelines for creating PLC projects. Defined in IEC 61131 standard, a Program Organization Unit (POU) provides a modular and hierarchical way of structuring programs that makes it easier to develop, debug, and maintain industrial control programs. How will this concept be used to organize and structure industrial control programs? Resolution In this document the term POU is used for programming elements in general that can contain IEC code, such as methods, properties, interfaces etc. The term Program Organization Unit (POU) is used for all programming objects (programs, function blocks, functions, etc.) which are used to create a controller application.

Issue The aim of this article is to show how to monitor and check OT data files from Edge into EcoStruxure Plant Advisor – Core Foundation (formerly EcoStruxure Plant Advisor – Data Hub). Resolution Please see the attachment for further information.

Issue How to integrate TM3 remote IOs of machine solutions into a M580 architecture. Resolution This is a step by step user guide to use TM3 IO modules as a DIO over Ethernet IP with a M580 PAC. TM3BCEIP module is used as the communication header.

Issue How to configure Syslog Server with EcoStruxure Process Expert 2020 R2 Resolution The new version of EcoStruxure Process Expert 2020 R2 contains the Audit Trail functionality, which enables the user to get the traceability of all the changes made in Ecostruxure Process Expert platform when making modifications in the application. It includes all the changes that are made through the control participant, while refining online and offline. This article explains how to stablish the connection between EcoStruxure Process Expert and Syslog Server.

Introduction According standard EtherNet/IP protocol, there are 2 types of messaging EtherNet/IP implicit messaging EtherNet/IP Explicit messaging This exercise will assist to know EtherNet/IP concept and how to implement EtherNet/IP implicit messaging within EcoStruxure Process Expert solution approach. Note: this procedure is validated and tested with EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS 2018 The concept of implementation is the same for later version of EcoStruxure Process Expert (EPE) (new name for EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS). Resolution Please see attached document for detailed implementation.

Issue When a TeSysT is created from the Topology Manager in EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS, the DTM of the Generic Modbus Device is automatically added. This cannot be used to parametize the TeSysT inside EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS and other tools such as web interfaces or SoMove are required for this purpose Resolution The document attached describes the necessary steps to integrate the TeSysT Device DTM in EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS and connect it to the GPL TeSysT DFB. Hence, we will be able to parametize the TeSysT as if it were with SoMove.

Issue Why Transition from BME NOC 0301/0311 to BME NOC 0302? The BME NOC 0302 Ethernet module offers key advantages over BME NOC 0301/0311: Better Reliability: Lower latency and improved traffic handling Enhanced Security: Compliant with current cybersecurity standards Future-Ready: Compatible with upcoming system upgrades Lower Maintenance Risk: Avoids issues from outdated hardware and firmware Resolution Transitioning to the BME NOC 0302 module is a strategic upgrade that delivers improved performance, enhanced cybersecurity, and long-term system compatibility. It ensures your network infrastructure remains robust, scalable, and aligned with evolving industrial standards.

Objective This article documents the steps involved in upgrading the Firmware of a CRD from version 23 to 24. It serves as a guide, and as an assurance to show that a direct upgrade from v23.0.23121 to v24.0.24178 is possible.

Issue The Modicon M580 Safety controller can execute single task and multi-task applications. Unlike a single task application which only executes the MAST task, a multi-task application defines the priority of each task. When a task is running, it can be interrupted by another task with a higher relative priority. For example, when a periodic task is scheduled to execute its code, it would interrupt a lower priority task, but would wait until the completion of a higher priority task. Resolution For optimal CPU performance, Schneider Electric recommends that the total percentage of CPU bandwidth consumed by an application not exceed 80%. Users will need to determine the CPU bandwidth and fine tune to adjust the tasks period for an optimal CPU performance.

Objective This article describes how to unpack a 16-Bit Analog value acquired via MODBUS communication, into its individual bit components that can then be used as an Array of 16 Digital states. This is a common practice in many industry automation implementations to optimize the traffic between devices and as a strategy to reduce the number of variables read in from a device.
