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.

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.

Efficient communication
10
5 Efficient communication
To make the communication between the terminal and the PLC system
quick and efficient the following should be noted about how the signals
are read and what that can be done to optimize the reading.
5.1 Signals affecting the communication
time
It is only signals to objects in the current block that are read continuously.
Signals to objects in other blocks are not read, that is the number of blocks
does not affect the communication time.
Besides the signals to objects in the current block, the terminal is continu-
ously reading the following signals from the PLC system:
Display signals
Block print-out signals
LED registers
Alarm signals
Remote acknowledge signals on alarms and alarm groups
Login signal
Logout signal
Trend registers at the sample points
Bargraph registers if using min/max indicators
New display register
Buzzer register
Backlight signal
Cursor control block
Recipe control block
Library index register
Index registers
PLC clock register if the PLC clock is used in the terminal
List erase signal
No protocol control register
No protocol on signal
Signals not affecting the communication time
The following signals do not affect the communication time:
– Signals linked to function keys
–Timechannels
– Objects in the alarm messages

Efficient communication
11
5.2 How to make the communication more
efficient
Group PLC-signals consecutively
The signals from the PLC system are read most rapidly if all signals in the
list above are consecutive. If for example, 100 signals are defined, it is
quickest to read these if they are linked to, for example, M0.0-M11.7. If the
signals are spread out (e.g. I0.4, Q30.0, T45.3 etc.) the updating is slower.
Efficient block changes
Block changes are carried out most rapidly and efficiently through the
block jump function on the function keys or through a jump object. "Dis-
play signals" in the block header should only be used when the PLC sys-
tem is to force the presentation of another block. The "New Display"
register can also be used if the PLC system is to change the block. This
does not affect communication as much as a larger number of "Display
signals".
Use the clock of the terminal
An extra load is put on communication if the clock of the PLC system is
used since the clock register must be read up to the terminal. Download-
ing of the clock to the PLC system also creates an extra load. The interval
between downloadings should therefore be as long as possible.
Packaging of signals
When the signals are transferred between the terminal and the PLC sys-
tem, all signals are not transferred simultaneously. Instead they are divid-
ed into packages with a number of signals in each package. To decrease
the number of packages that have to be transferred and make the commu-
nication faster this number has to be considered. The number of signals in
each package depends on the used driver. In the Klockner Moeller PS se-
ries driver the number is 32 for analog words, 16 for analog double words
and 512 for digital devices.
To make the communication as fast as possible the number of packages
has to be minimized. Consecutive signals require a minimum of used
packages but it is not always possible to have consecutive signals. In such
cases the so-called waste between two signals has to be considered. The
waste is the maximum distance between two signals you can have and
still keep them in the same package.
The waste depends on the used driver. In the Klockner Moeller PS series
driver the number is 8 for analog words, 4 for analog double words and
126 for digital devices.

2 Installation och uppdatering av
drivrutin
Tillgängliga drivrutiner installeras samtidigt som MAC Programmer+ in-
stalleras. En ny drivrutin kan läggas till i MAC Programmer+ antingen
med hjälp av MAC Programmer+ och en Internet anslutning eller från dis-
kett. En drivrutin uppdateras till nyare version påsamma sätt.
2.1 Installation av drivrutin med Internet
För att uppdatera tillgängliga drivrutiner till senaste version eller för att
installera nya drivrutiner används funktionen Update terminal drivers,
from Internet i menyn File i MAC Programmer+. Alla projekt måste stäng-
as innan funktionen används och datorn måste kunna göra en Internet an-
slutning. Någon browser behövs inte. När anslutningen är etablerad visas
en lista med alla drivrutiner som kan laddas ner via Internet till datorn. I
listan visas versionsnummer påtillgängliga drivrutiner och versionsnum-
ret påinstallerade drivrutiner i MAC Programmer+. Markera de drivruti-
ner som skall installeras i MAC Programmer+. Funktionen Mark Newer
markerar alla drivrutiner som finns tillgängliga i en senare version och de
som inte är installerade. Välj därefter Download. Varje drivrutin är unge-
fär 500 kb stor och de är färdiga att använda när nedladdningen är klar.
2.2 Installation av drivrutin från disk
För att uppdatera tillgängliga drivrutiner till senaste version eller för att
installera nya drivrutiner används funktionen Update terminal drivers,
from Disk i menyn File i MAC Programmer+. Alla projekt måste stängas
innan funktionen används. Välj den katalog som innehåller den nya driv-
rutinen och öppna mpd-filen. En lista visas med alla drivrutiner som kan
installeras. I listan visas versionsnummer påtillgängliga drivrutiner och
versionsnumret påinstallerade drivrutiner i MAC Programmer+. Marke-
ra de drivrutiner som skall installeras i MAC Programmer+. Funktionen
Mark Newer markerar alla drivrutiner som finns tillgängliga i en senare
version och de som inte är installerade. Välj därefter Install.
