Description
The iControlrGateway is the interface between an external controller
(usually a PLC) and any of iControl’s dual channel control modules used
with automatic powder guns.
The Gateway converts standard fieldbus protocol messages and
commands (PROFIBUSr, PROFINETr, DeviceNett, or EtherNet/IPt) from
an external controller into the proprietary CAN bus messages required to
communicate with the pump and electrostatic modules controlling the
automatic spray guns.
See Figure 1. The Gateway is capable of interfacing with up to 32
automatic guns through a single cable to the spray control modules.
Additional modules are then connected by daisy chaining this network.
The system is compatible with Encorer, Encore HD, Tribomaticr,
Sure Coatr, Versa-Sprayr, PE, and Prodigyrautomatic guns.

Software
Overview
A typical PLC−based powder system utilizing iControl’s control modules
consists of two basic sub−systems:
Sa PLC which controls the triggering of several guns
Sa network of several intelligent powder flow (either iFlowror Pump Flow
Control PCB [PFCP]) and gun KV control modules.
Since the iControl system uses separate intelligent modules (or nodes) for
controlling powder flow and gun voltage, the PLC, at times, must have the
capability to communicate to 2 nodes for controlling a single gun.
Furthermore, since each flow or KV control node has 2 channels for
controlling two guns, each intelligent node must process data and control
information for 2 separate guns. All of the control nodes are networked
together on a proprietary CAN bus which acts as the channel through which
all data and commands to and from the nodes are sent.
Each Gateway is designed to appear as a single slave device to the PLC
master, regardless of the number of gun control nodes in the system. Inside
the Gateway, the interface between the 2 networks is a dual port memory
device which is organized such that all data/commands have a unique
address which can be accessed by either network.
This section describes the specifications required to send commands to the
flow/gun nodes so that they may perform their intended functions. In
particular, the layout of the dual port memory is defined by describing the
function and/or range of values which occupy each address location. The
method for retrieving process data from the slave nodes, via reading the
dual port memory, is also specified.
Throughout this document, the gun flow, gun pump and gun voltage control
nodes will be collectively referred to as gun control nodes. For each gun in
the system, there is a KV node which controls that gun’s electrostatics; and
there can be either a gun flow (iFlow) node or a gun pump (PFCP) node,
but not both, to control that gun’s powder flow.

Addressing Modes
There are three addressing modes which are used for sending and
receiving data/commands from the PLC to the gun control nodes.
Broadcast Messages
See Broadcast Messages from the PLC section on Page 19 for a list of all
broadcast messages.
SSend messages from the PLC to all the gun control nodes
SAssigned top priority
SExamples include Gun Trigger or Lockout
Multicast Messages
See Multicast Messages from the PLC section on Page 20 for more
information on multicast messages.
SSend commands and data from the PLC group of gun control nodes
associated with a single gun
SAt this time, multicast addressing only applies to Change Preset
Messages
NOTE: By default, each physical gun in a system also belongs to a
multicast group address (which is equal to the physical gun number). Since
each physical gun is connected to two gun control nodes (one for KV control
and another for Flow control), it is convenient to have the ability to send
certain messages to a given physical gun’s KV node/Flow node pair.
Unicast Messages
See Unicast Messages from the PLC section on Page 20.
SSends commands and data from the PLC to an individual gun control
node (most commonly Set Preset Message)
SSend messages from the gun control nodes to the PLC (includes Gun
Monitor Message and System Status Message)

IO Image Table Configuration
The PLC programmer will have to configure the PLC master so that its IO
image table matches that of the slave. The module is from the PLC
reference point. The slave is configured at the factory to have the following
16 IO modules:

NOTE A: The last 3 bytes are never used.
B: The last byte is never used.
C: 1 byte for each of the maximum number of guns which may be used in a system. Since there is a
maximum of 32 guns in the system, the last 32 bytes are not used.
The details of these IO modules are covered in the following sections.
IO Image Table −Module Definitions
Each IO module serves a specific purpose in transferring data either to or
from a gun control node. The terms output and input image tables are
referenced from the perspective of the PLC. The following tables describe
the contents of the IO image tables.

iControlrPROFIBUSr, PROFINETr, DeviceNett, and EtherNet/IPtGeneration 4 Slot 9 Gateway 13
Part 1605930−02
E2020 Nordson Corporation
Output Image Table
See Table 2.
All of the data contained in the Output Image Table are written by the PLC
to its master IO memory space. A general description of how the data of
the PLC’s output image table flows through the system until it arrives at the
gun control nodes follows. The PLC writes the data to the relative
addresses shown as “Address Offset” (See Table 2) representing locations
in the PLC’s output image table. The fieldbus master sends this data to the
Gateway’s fieldbus slave where the data is written to the dual port memory
by the slave’s controller. The relative address of the data in the dual port
memory is identical to the Address Offset used by the PLC. Finally, the data
is read from the dual port memory by the Gateway’s DSP controller and
processed to create a CAN message. This message is sent to the gun
control node(s) on the CAN network.
Module 1
When the Gateway detects a new non-zero value in the first byte of Module
1, it will send a broadcast message to all nodes.
Module 2
When the Gateway detects a change has taken place in Module 2, it will
send a multicast message out to the two nodes (KV and Flow/Pump)
associated with the specified gun number.
Module 3
When the gateway detects that a change has taken place in the KV
parameters of Module 3, it will send a unicast message out to the specified
gun’s KV node. If the flow parameters in Module 3 changed, then the
gateway will send a unicast message to the specified gun’s flow (or pump)
node. If the gateway detects changes to both KV and flow parameters, it will
send two unicast messages out; one to the specified gun’s KV node and
another to the flow/pump node.
Module 4
This module is a single byte value equal to a Page Number, used by the
PLC’s Operator Interface. This value, starting with 0, tells the Gateway
which group of 4 guns is currently being displayed on the PLC. For
example, if this value were equal to 3, then the PLC is currently displaying
guns #13 thru #16.
Module 5
This module commands all the flow controls to change its flow rates by a
percentage of the setpoint. A detailed description of this module is
discussed on page 22 under Flow % Adjust Message.
Module 6
This module tells the Gateway that the PLC is active and executing its
program. The value in this single byte must change to any new value, at
least, every 5 seconds. It is practical for the PLC to change this value every
second. If the Gateway does not detect any change in this value for 5
seconds, a broadcast message shutting off all the guns will be sent. To
visually verify that the PLC is periodically sending heartbeats, note the
green Status LED on the KV card. The light will toggle ON and OFF every
time a new value in Module 6 is stored.

14
Part 1605930−02 E2020 Nordson Corporation
Module 7
This module is used to permit the PLC to send any unicast messages while
Module 3 is reserved for the efficient handling of Data Table 6 and to quickly
send these parameters to their respective nodes. Module 7 is provided
primarily to send out other unicast messages.
Module 8
The assignment to each gun is sequential, that is to say, the first byte of
Module 8 is assigned to gun #1, the second byte is assigned to gun #2, and
so on. The value in these bytes is a new preset number which is to be used
by a given gun, and is sent to that gun’s KV and Flow node−pair via the
Data Table 14 command (using multicast addressing). When the gateway is
initialized, it will fill this space with zeros indicating to the gateway there is
no change to the current preset (all nodes, by default, start up using preset
#1). It is up to the PLC programmer to initialize this space to contain all
ones, but it is not necessary. The PLC program may change a gun to a new
preset by simply writing to that gun’s byte in Module 8. When the gateway
detects a change has occurred in any of the bytes in this module, it sends a
multicast message out to the node−pair associated with that byte (gun).
Therefore, as the gateway polls its way through Module # 8 looking for
changes, it is possible for it to send out 32 multicast messages; one for
each byte change detected. The last 32 bytes in this module are not used.
Module 9
This module contains 2 bytes. One byte defines which information the
Gateway should present to the PLC. The second byte defines which
grouping of guns to display. This process is similar to module 4 where 0
equals guns 1−4, 1 equals guns 5−8, and so on. For instance, a 1 in the
first byte and a 0 in the second byte will cause the Gateway to pass the gun
node maintenance time for guns 1−4 to the PLC.
All of the above IO Modules are discussed in more detail in later sections.

Input Image Table
See Table 4.
An overview of the Input Image Table modules follows. All of the data
contained in the Input Image Table is written into the dual port memory by
the DSP controller so that the PLC can read it in its master IO space.
Modules 10 through 13
These four are identical 12 byte modules that contain monitored gun
parameter values for four guns. The PLC defines which group of 4 guns is
being displayed on the Operator Interface at any given time by writing the
Gun Page No. into Module 4 of the Output Image Table. The DSP controller
processes this value and places the current monitored parameters for the
group of 4 guns requested by the PLC.
Module 14
This module contains 8 bytes of global status and fault conditions. These
eight bytes provide a quick access to the most important status and alarm
conditions of the system. For example, the lockout state of each gun can be
examined by reading the last byte of module 10 (or 11, 12, 13); however, if
the PLC needs to quickly check if any gun is in lockout, then it can simply
read the first byte of module 14. Address Offset 52 is used to determine the
communication status between Gateway and the Nodes. This byte is
updated every 5 seconds if the Gateway receives any message from any of
the Nodes.
Module 15
This module contains a different value every 1 second so that the PLC may
know that the Gateway’s DSP controller is executing and not locked up.
