Chapter 1
Hardware description
The system described in this User Manual is mainly composed of three main
components:
•Ascon
sigmadue microPAC MP-01 with 6 + 2 optional analogue inputs, up
to 4 analogue outputs, 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs (ready to work
with OpenPCS EN61131-3 compliant programming system);
•Ascon
sigmadue microPAC I/O modules;
• Infoteam OpenPCS EN61131-3 compliant programming system.
microPAC MP-01, is a powerful processing device, based on an ARM RISC
processor, utilizing different types of memory, some onboard I/O and several
communication ports.
microPAC I/O is a complete family of I/O analogue and digital modules with
special functions that can be connected to the MP-01 module through a
dedicated bus.
Infoteam OpenPCS is a powerful and useful standard programming system for
PLC applications.
It is a clearly structured, easily operated tool for editing, compiling, debugging,
managing and printing PLC applications in all the development phases.
OpenPCS supports EN61131-3 programming under Windows server 2003,
Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista 32 bit.
The Ascon sigmadue microPAC line is based on the MP-01 module, combining
its functionality with the capabilities of a PLC. “
Modular concept ” means that you
can adapt the system to your requirements quickly and easily. This gives the
sigmadue automation system an especially economical price/performance ratio.
This User Manual handbook introduces you to the microPAC line and the
Infoteam OpenPCS programming system.
It explains how to install the hardware and software, and how to start up the system.
Information on maintenance, troubleshooting and service are also included.

1-1 Architecture
From the programmer’s point of view, a complete system is made up as in “ Figure
1.1 - Programming the sigmadue microPAC Control Unit”
below:
Figure 1.1 - Programming the sigmadue microPAC Control Unit
In “ Figure 1.1 - Programming the sigmadue microPAC Control Unit” the configura-
tion station (VT100 terminal) and the PC with OpenPCS are displayed as two dif-
ferent devices, but it is possible to use just one PC to run both OpenPCS and a
VT100 emulator (e.g. HyperTerminal).
1-1-1 Communication ports
The CPU has 3 communication ports ( see “ Figure 1.2 - Control Unit I/O and
Communication Ports
”):
• The Ethernet port (TCP/IP) will be used for the connection to the PC for:
- CPU configuration using a telnet session;
- Programming, debuging and commissioning;
- Modbus TCP data exchange;
• The optional Service RS232/485 port (connector X0) will be used as:
- Configuration port of the device with VT100 terminal;
- Standard ASCII serial port;
- Modbus RTU data exchange port.
• The optional RS485 port (connector X1) will be used as:
- Modbus RTU data exchange port.
Pinout of all communication ports is described hereafter and in:
“
MP-01 Installation Manual ” [9].

Referring to “ Figure 1.2 - Control Unit I/O and Communication Ports ” a description
of the LEDs functions is given in the table below.
Table 1.1 - Diagnostics LEDs description
Note: As the ON/OFF sequence of the LEDs has a specific meaning, it is important that
the user recognizes each LED status:
- OFF: the LED is not lit;
- Steady ON: the LED is lit in a stable way;
- Blinking:
the LED blinks at a frequence of 2.5 Hz (slow);
- Flickering : the LED blinks at a frequence of 10 Hz (fast);
-
Single flash : the LED lits once for at least 200 ms;
-
Double flash : the LED lits twice with pulses of 200 ms each;
-
Triple flash: the LED lits three with pulses of 200 ms each .

CPU setup
At start-up, a configuration session is started to setup the system module and
configure the system I/Os. Setup data can be inserted using a VT100 terminal
or a Personal Computer with a Hyper Terminal program or a Telnet client.
3-1 Connect the Setup Terminal
There are 2 ports available on the CPU to enter the configuration session: the
X0 port for the serial RS232 connection or the LAN port for the ethernet
connection. Depending on the setup method used, the user must:
• Set the X0 or the LAN port (consult the “
MP-01 Installation Manual ” [9]
for details);
• Provide the proper connection cable;
• Set the correct communications parameters;
• Run the communications program.
Caution
Appendix A describes connection and the setup details of the ports connection
and configuration of the communication ports.
Once the setup terminal (VT100 or PC) is correctly connected to the MP-01
basic unit, the user can start the configuration session. In
Appendix C is
inserted the tree structure of the setup menus.

3-1-1 Starting the Setup Session
Accessing
the Main Menu
To start the setup session, press the ENTER (the PC sends a CR, Carriage
Return, character to the CPU) key on the setup terminal while RUN and ERR
LEDs are blinking on the Basic Unit at Power ON. If the character CR is not
sent before a predefined time (start-up timeout) the system ends the configuration
session and starts the PLC application. In this chapter some templates of a
configuration session are shown.
After the reception of the first CR character, the welcome screen appears as
follows:
Press ENTER again to reach the configuration session Main Menu.
Please note that the system has a further timeout that controls the duration of the
configuration session; this is the inactivity timeout. If the user does not work with
the console for a time greater than this timeout, the configuration session will be
ended automatically and the PLC application will be started.
Both the described timeouts can be set during the configuration. The user should
not set too short timeouts, affecting the possibility to work with the configuration
console. To select an item of a menu or to insert a value for a parameter, the user
must type the corresponding number and than press ENTER.
