FC310x - Master Diagnostics

Diagnosis Inputs

The master possesses a variety of diagnostic variables that describe the state of the card and of the PROFIBUS. They can be linked in the PLC:

FC310x - Master Diagnostics 1:

CdlInfo:

CdlInfo.error: Shows the number of slaves with which data exchange could not take place in the last cycle. The box status (BoxState) of the slaves should only be checked if this value is not equal to 0.

CdlInfo.cycleCounter: Is incremented at the end of each PROFIBUS cycle in order that this variable can indicate whether the last cycle was completed before the task was started.

CdlInfo.actualCycleTime: Shows the current cycle time in 4/25 µs. This variable is updated only when all slaves are involved in the data exchange (also when CdlInfo.error is 0).

CdlInfo.actualModulo: Indicates the current modulo. This variable is only of significance if the slaves are prioritized (see the Slave Prioritisation/Multiple DP Cycles section)

Counter: Used for the Redundancy mode

DiagFlag: Indicates whether the card's master diagnostic information has changed. It can then be read via ADS by the controller program, after that the "DiagFlag" variable is reset.

GlobalState: GlobalState[0] indicates the state of the FC310x, GlobalState[1-2] indicate global bus statuses, while GlobalState[3] is reserved for extensions:

RESET (1): Card router not started (after start-up of the PC).

INIT (2): Router started but card not active on PROFIBUS.

STOP (3): Card active on PROFIBUS, but no cyclical data exchange.

STOPPING (4): Card ends cyclical data exchange.

RUN (0): Card in cyclical data exchange.

GlobalState[1] counts the detected bus errors (as from FC310x, version 1).

GlobalState[2]: Bit 0 is set, if no 11 bit idle time is detected on the PROFIBUS (-> check cabling), bit 1 contains the operating mode CLEAR (bit 1 = 1) or OPERATE (bit 1 = 0), the other bits (2..7) are reserved for expansions (from FC310x, version 1).

GlobalState[3] is reserved for expansions.

CycleFailedCounter: This counter shows how often the FC310x PROFIBUS cycle was unready at the start of the TwinCAT task.

StartRedundantMasterFlag: Is used for the Redundancy mode

Diagnostic data

The master diagnostic data has the following structure:

Offset

Description

0 -125

BusStatus List, one byte per station address 0-125 which contains the station status (see BoxState for PROFIBUS boxes and for non-selected stations: 0x80 - not present, 0x81 - slave, 0x82 - master not ready for token ring, 0x83 - master ready for token ring, 0x84 - master in token ring).

126 - 127

reserved

128 - 135

State of the FC310x (->GlobalState).

136 - 137

Send error counter for all sent telegrams.

138 - 139

Receive error counter for all received telegrams.

140 - 255

reserved for extensions

256 - 257

Sync Failed Counter (see EquiDiag tab for TwinCAT 2.8 and MC-Diag tab for TwinCAT 2.9).

258 - 259

Cycle Start Error Counter, counts up one when the PROFIBUS cycle is restarted before the old cycle is complete (intercepted by the TwinCAT-IO driver, only possible with customised drivers).

260 - 261

Time Control Failed Counter (see EquiDiag tab for TwinCAT 2.8 and MC-Diag tab for TwinCAT 2.9).

262 - 263

reserved for extensions

264 - 265

Minimum reload value of real time timer.

266 - 267

Maximum reload value of real time timer (max. FCxxxx-Jitter (see EquiDiag tab for TwinCAT 2.8 and MC-Diag tab for TwinCAT 2.9) = max. reload value - min. reload value).

268 - 269

PLL Overflow counter (see EquiDiag tab for TwinCAT 2.8 and MC-Diag tab for TwinCAT 2.9)

270 - 271

PLL Underflow counter (see EquiDiag tab for TwinCAT 2.8 and MC-Diag tab for TwinCAT 2.9)

TcIo diagnostic data

The TcIo driver also generates diagnostic data that can be read, activated, deactivated and reset by ADS. It is, however, deactivated by default. It is activated if the EquiDiag or GeneralDiag tab (TwinCAT 2.8) or  MC-Diag or DP-Diag tab (TwinCAT 2.9) of the device is selected, and is deactivated when the tab is deselected.
