1 Introduction
This manual describes how the PLC system is connected to the operator
terminals in the E-series, the terminal is master, via the protocol SUCOM-
A and how they communicate. Addressing of an item is done in the nor-
mal Klockner Moeller way. For information about the PLC system we re-
fer to the manual for current system.
The driver can be used with the PS4-201/271/141/151-MM1 and the
PS-341-MM1 series controllers.

Install and update driver

2 Install and update driver
When installing MAC Programmer+ the drivers available at the time of
release are installed too. A new driver can be added into MAC Program-
mer+ either with MAC Programmer+ using an Internet connection or
from diskette. A driver can be updated to a newer version in the same
ways.
2.1 Installation of driver using Internet
To update available drivers to the latest version or to install new drivers
you can use the function Update terminal drivers, from Internet in the File
menu in MAC Programmer+. All projects must be closed before this func-
tion is used and the computer must be able to make an Internet connec-
tion. You don't need a browser. When the connection is established a list
is shown with all drivers that can be downloaded from Internet to the
computer. The list shows the version number of available drivers and the
version number of installed drivers. Mark the driver/drivers you want to
install in the MAC Programmer+. The function Mark Newer will mark all
drivers that are available in a newer version then the one installed and the
drivers not installed. Then you select Download. Each drivers is approxi-
mately 500 kb and it is ready to use when the download is ready.
2.2 Installation of driver from disk
To update available drivers to the latest version or to install new drivers
you can use the function Update terminal drivers, from Disk in the File
menu in MAC Programmer+. All projects must be closed before this func-
tion is used. Select the folder with the new driver and choose to open the
mpd-file. A list is shown with all drivers that can be installed showing the
version number of available drivers and the version number of installed
drivers. Mark the driver/drivers you want to install in the MAC Program-
mer+. The function Mark Newer will mark all drivers that are available in
a newer version then the one installed and the drivers not installed. Then
you select Install.
How to select the Klockner Moeller SUCOM-A driver in the project and
how to transfer it to the terminal are described in chapter 3.

3 Connecting the terminal to the
PLC system
3.1 Settings in the MAC Programmer+
For communication with the PLC system via the protocol SUCOM-A the
following settings must be made in the programming tool
MAC Programmer+.
Driver selection
Choosing New in the File menu creates a new project and the dialog
Project Settings is shown. In an existing project, the dialog is shown by
selecting Project Settings in the File menu.
Press Change… under Controller system to get the choice list of available
drivers. Choose Brand name, Protocol and then press OK. Press OK again
to confirm the project settings.

Communication setup
The settings for the communication between the terminal and the PLC
system are done under Peripherals in the Setup menu. To change which
port the PLC system is connected to, mark Controller and hold left mouse
button down and drag to move it to another communication port. Mark
the selected communication port and press Edit to change the other com-
munication settings.
The settings should be:
Parameter Description
Port RS-232 or RS-422
Baudrate 9 600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Parity None

Transfer the driver to the terminal
The selected driver is downloaded into the terminal when the project is
transferred to the terminal. Choose Project in the Transfer menu.
There are three alternatives when the driver is downloaded into the termi-
nal:
3.2 Settings in the PLC system
For information about settings in the PLC-system we refer to the manual
for current system.
Function Description
Never The driver is not down-loaded and the existing driver in the
terminal is used.
Always The driver is down-loaded every time the project is trans-
ferred.
Automatic The driver is down-loaded if the driver in the terminal is not
the same as the selected driver in the project. If it is the
same the driver is not down-loaded.

3.3 Connecting the terminal to the
PLC system
Point-to-point connection
The point-to-point connection can be done either via the RS-422 port or via
the RS-232C port on the terminal. The Klockner Moeller PS4 series control-
lers are connected to the RS-232C port on the terminal with cable accord-
ing to the cable drawing below or with the programming cable for the PLC
system together with the cable adapter CAB12.
For further information about settings in the PLC system, cable specifica-
tions and information about connecting the PLC system to the terminal
we refer to the manual for the current system.

4 Addressing
The terminal can handle different data types in the PLC system. Following
devices can be addressed:
Digital objects:
Comments about digital objects
If You choose to manouver a digital object, the terminal handle this by
read before write. This means that the whole register is read and then the
bit of interest is changed and the whole register is written back. If the con-
troller changes some of the bits in the register during this communication,
the controllers change is lost. If possible let the terminal / controller use
different registers.
Analog objects:
Comments about analog objects
PS4-series: MWrr should only be address with even addresses and MDrr
only with addresses dividable by 4.
Max addresses:
For PS4-series controller it is necessary to set active marker range in the
PLC. Only addresses within this area can be accessed by the terminal.
