Section 1 Introduction
The S900 I/O module AI950 is designed for temperature measurement on four
electrically isolated channels. Both resistance thermometers and thermocouples can
be connected as sensors. The measured values are linearized by the module. The
reference junction temperature can be either given externally or determined by the
module. With additional linear measuring ranges for resistance or voltage it is also
possible to connect other sensors.

Section 3 PROFIBUS DP Communication
Configuration

Configuration
Definition
In this context configuration means arranging the individual I/O modules of a
modular slave and, thus, making changes that have an effect on the structure of
the I/O data telegrams.
Changing the configuration on a PROFIBUS means terminating cyclic data

exchange and re-assigning the I/Os in the PROFIBUS master. Additional features
like HCIR (Hot Configuration In Run) allow for a smooth change-over, which
seems to be performed 'online' from the user's point of view. S900 supports HCIR.
Of course the PROFIBUS master must support HCIR as well, as, for example the
masters of the ABB AC870P system do. With the description of the appropriate
parameters in the GSD (device data) file HCRI can be executed from every master
capable of online-reconfiguration (see description below). Two AI950 module
variants are described in the GSD file: TI4 (R) and TI4 (T). "R" stands for
resistance thermometer and "T" for thermocouple. The distinction of two variants
(with the same I/O data structure) increases the parameterization flexibility, since
more memory is available for the parameters in this case.
3BDD010426R0201 A
15
Parameterization
Parameterization
Definition
In this context parameterization means defining the properties of already
configured modules.
Since parameter changes do not influence the I/O data structure, the system does
not necessarily need to be recompiled after making changes in the master. S900
allows to transmit (and receive) a parameter telegram without interrupting cyclic
data exchange.

Parameterization
Unused Channels in Parameterization Mode 1

Unused channels will cause a channel diagnosis and an invalid input value. Invalid
input values can be ignored in the process control system for these channels. The
channel diagnosis (PROFIBUS and LED on the module front panel) can be
switched off via the communication interface CI920 (CIPB D). It is possible to
deactivate individual channels for each slot.
Parameterization Mode 2 (Partly Channel-wise Parameterization)
With communication interface CI920 software revision 1.4.0 and higher it is
possible to deactivate individual channels. Note that a GSD file version 1.2.0 or
higher is required for this.
Basically, channel-wise parameterization of the I/O modules is possible in
parameterization mode 2. However, the multitude of AI950 module parameters
exceeds the PROFIBUS capabilities due to the high memory requirements. As a
result, the damping, connection type and sensor type parameter settings are
valid for all channels of the module.

Description
A Pt100 resistance thermometer working in the
module will be used for all module channels. No
external wiring is required with this setting. However,
the achievable measuring accuracy is reduced, due to
the varying temperature difference between the
module and terminal. The setting will be used for all
channels of the module.
With this setting an additional Pt100 resistance
thermometer will be expected on each module
channel, together with the sensor lines. A high
measuring accuracy will be achieved with this.
The reference junction is held for all channels on a
constant temperature by a thermostat. The
temperature is set with the "Reference junction
temperature" parameter.
A thermocouple of the appropriate type is connected
to each of the 4 channels.
Voltage measurement without linearization is
performed on all 4 channels. The measuring range

Input Data / Measuring Range Mapping

Validity of Measuring Values
S900 provides an optional status information for every analog or digital input
value. To permit this function, the communication interface parameter "Analog
Status Format" must be set to "MSB" or "LSB". The status indicates the validity of
the measuring value, independent of the selected substitution value strategy.
In the application of the process control system an individual substitution value
strategy can be used, with the status bit set. Contrary to the PROFIBUS channel
diagnosis the measured value status provides for real-time transmission and, thus,
data consistency. As a rule, a transmitted substitution value or last valid value
always results in a set status bit, provided that status information transmission has
not been disabled by setting the communication interface parameters accordingly.
The ABB process control systems, e.g. AC870P, always use measured values with
status information. This ensures consistent measuring value marking throughout
the entire measuring chain. Any channel error, module error or disturbance of
PROFIBUS communication will cause an invalid input value. In this case, the
PROFIBUS master automatically sets the status bit to the "invalid" state, i.e. to "1".
For other process control systems the status information can be accessed like a
digital input. However, the user then has to process it "manually" in the
application.

I/O Data Arrangement on PROFIBUS

The S900 communication interface CI920 converts the data format used on the
internal bus to the standardized PROFIBUS data format. The module provides for
each channel 2 byte input data as Unsigned16 data in the Motorola format (Big
Endian) normally used on the PROFIBUS. As a result, the values with
significances 215..28 are transmitted as the first byte, whereas the values with
significances 27..20 are transmitted in the second place. In some cases the operator
of the process control system has to pay special attention to the byte order, or has
to rearrange the bytes in the order normally used in the process control system. The
ABB systems AC870P, AC800F and AC800M automatically reformat the data
accordingly. As a result, the measured value only requires 15 bits in Unsigned16
format. This suffices to cover the entire range of 0..32767. The remaining bit can
optionally be used for status information. The input data scaling depends on the
sensor parameters. See Section Measuring Range Mapping for details.
Usually, the input data transformation is automatically performed by the
PROFIBUS master in the process control system. The data formats after
transformation, however, depend on the control system type. See Section 4 for
details. If S900 in only integrated by using a GSD file, the I/O data mapping
must be performed manually. When using ABB systems like AC870P, AC800F
and AC800M, the S900 is fully integrated, and the mapping is done
automatically upon adding a module.

PROFIBUS to the application of the process control system with one status bit in
the LSB position. By using the LSB for the status information the measured value
is shifted by one position to the left, i.e. towards the MSB. As a result, the
measured value is multiplied with 2. This multiplication must be compensated by
the PROFIBUS master or a control system application by using a shift function
causing a shift to the left by one position. If an unsigned integer cannot be shifted,
the same effect can be achieved with a division by 2. The LSB status format is also
called ADV format.

Measuring Range Mapping for Temperature Measurement

When connecting a thermocouple or resistance thermometer, the AI950 module
provides linearized or compensated (in terms of the reference junction)
temperature values in 0.1 K. Note that a relative output value related to the
measuring range and indicated in percent is not supported and has to be
implemented in the process control system if required.
To be able to convert the input value into a temperature it is usually necessary to

convert the data to Real (Floating Point) format and divide the value by 10.0. The
following table shows the basic conversion formula, and some reference points for
the scaling in C.

Diagnosis
This module performs diagnoses in accordance with the PROFIBU standard and
provides channel-related error messages. The coding complies with the PROFIBUS
standard as well and is beyond the scope of this document. The assignment
between the error code and the text is also standardized.

Reaction on Wire/Sensor Errors
Reaction on Wire/Sensor Errors

The reaction on errors is defined by setting the "Substitution value strategy"
parameter. When setting this parameter to "min. value" the value "0" is transmitted
as the input. Additionally, the status bit is set, leading to the input word 0x8000
with status MSB or 0x0001 with status LSB. When selecting "max. value" 32767 is
transmitted as the input value, and the respective status bit is set. From this results
the input word 0xFFFF for both the status LSB and the status MSB. Selecting "last
valid value" will freeze and maintain the last valid measured value. A disturbance,
e.g. the measurable increase of the resistance indicating a coming wire break, is
unconsidered in this case.

Section 4 Commissioning
Standard PROFIBUS Master
The language and the parameterization mode is set by loading the respective GSD
(device data) file. The following GSD files are available for S900:
ABB_04D2.GSD
Parameterization mode 2, English
ABB_04D2.GSG
Parameterization mode 2, German
ABB104D2.GSD
Parameterization mode 1, English
ABB104D2.GSG
Parameterization mode 1, German
Parameterization mode 1 is designed for simple or older master systems. With this
file the master can be parameterized quickly and easily without the need to support
plain text. The desired parameter set can be selected from a list, and the respective
ID is entered as a module parameter.
Parameterization mode 2 is best suited for advanced master systems and allows for
extensive, detailed parameterization.
The performance specifications, operating data, diagnostic functions and cyclic
data quality are identical for the module in both parameterization modes.
3BDD010426R0201 A
35
After having configured the module, you usually set the module parameters. How
the input data have to be linked with he application or program cannot be described
here in general. However, the following list is a checklist that shall serve as a
guideline and help you to avoid frequently occurring errors.
If the process control system (DCS) uses measured values with status
information, the analog data format has to be set accordingly (LSB / MSB).
If the status is to be processed as a binary signal, it is recommended to use the
MSB format. Only the 15-bit measured value has to be masked accordingly in
this case.
The status bit can be handled as a separate input signal from the beginning, or
can be "split off" in the application through masking.
If the PROFIBUS master does not automatically perform a byte swapping
when loading the data, the two input bytes of each channel must be swapped in
the application.
If the process control system (DCS) uses the Real format for analog values, the
conversion should be performed at the beginning of the processing chain.
Example:
The following example shows the basic processing procedure for input data in an
AI950 module. The DCS uses measured values without status information. The
bytes are automatically swapped upon selection of the data format to be used (on
the PROFIBUS side). The status bit must be extracted in the application.

DTM
DTM
Using the DTM simplifies the parameterization / configuration procedure. No
manual allocation of the input data (mapping) is required. The process control
system must be provided with an interface in accordance with the FDT
specification to permit proper usage of the DTM.
The DTM provides 4 input values including the status, which have the following
designations:
Mxx_Chyy, with xx = module slot, yy = channel number (starting with 1).

AC870P
AC870P
S900 is integrated in the AC870P system with the DTM. Upon configuration of the
module and closing of the DTM the input data are available for channel
assignment, sorted by channels.
The analog data format should in any case be set to MSB, since AC870P
provides excellent support for the processing of measured values with status
information.
The input data is accessed via the DIDPA function block.

Select the variant "DIDPA-R0 Real ADV" via the context menu. This function
block provides scaled real values, i.e. the data type conversion and scaling are

AC800F with Control Builder F permits to integrate S900 by
importing the GSD file
using the DTM
using templates
The import of the GSD file for a remote I/O with complex I/O data structures and
parameters is quite complicated for S900 and can only be performed by an
experienced user. The I/O assignment is time-consuming.
Up to Revision 6.2 the DTMs are not fully supported. There are certain limitations
concerning the HART-compatible analog modules (AI930, AI931, AO930).
Moreover, no PROFIBUS diagnostic data can be displayed in the hardware tree
view.
The limitations described above can be avoided by using the device templates to
integrate the S900. A template is a "pre-configured" module with the I/O
assignment already made. Please refer to the Control Builder F documentation for
details about how to install the templates and the respective sources of supply.
"MSB" must be used as the analog data format, since the templates are based on
this format.
After the module configuration and parameterization, a total of 8 variables is
available in the I/O editor. These are the 4 input values of the channels (UINT)
with their respective status (BOOL).

The following application shows channel value processing without status

evaluation. The incoming raw value is first converted to the REAL data format and
then scaled and further processed as a temperature value in C, e.g. with an
extended scaling function block with output % of the measuring range. It is also
possible to combine both scaling functions in one block.

A hardware definition (HWD) file is used to integrate the S900 in the AC800M or
Control Builder M. Refer to the respective documentation for
configuration/parameterization details. The HWD file sets the scale to 0...100% of
the measuring range assigned to the sensor. All resistance thermometers and
thermocouples are assigned to the range 0.0..2376.7 K. The measuring ranges for
linear voltage and resistance measurement have already been defined. CBM
permits re-scaling of the values by the user, but the % range is always used as the
intermediate value.
