2.3 Function overview

In this chapter you become acquainted with the design and the basic functions of the reporter 690.It gives you a brief overview. A more detailed description can be found in the correspondingchapters.

Memory for the message texts

Texts, to be indicated on the display, must already be stored in the reporter 690 memory. Thismeans only the message number is transmitted via one of the interfaces and not the text itself. Atwo-line by 20 character messages each can be saved per address. Up to 100 (option 512)message numbers may be assigned text. Message text is generated directly at the PC with theREPORT programming software (included in delivery) and then transmitted to reporter 690memory via the serial interface. Message data is retained up to 10 years in memory in the eventof power loss. The messages, of course, can be changed at any time.

Stack memory for text addresses

If a message number is transmitted to the reporter 690 via one of the interfaces, the numberis sent to stack memory. This stack memory has 16 storage locations and each of these locationscan take one message number. Stack memory location no. 1 holds the number of the activelydisplayed message.

In the most simple case an incoming message number is passed through the first stack memoryaddress and the corresponding text is immediately shown on the display. We call this aninstantaneous value display. Operating modes can also be pre-selected to enter the incoming textaddresses in the stack memory, like a shift register. Additional displays as sequence display, firstvalue display und last value display can be realized by a subsequent shifting or rotating of the stackmemory.

Memory for variable data texts

The display of data along with text is sometimes desired. The insertion of variable data can beuseful. The reporter 690 enables this by a variable data memory with the capacity of 99 texts witha maximum of 8 characters. The remarkable thing is: Placeholders with a reference to a certainaddress of variables can be inserted into each line of a fixed programmed message text. Thecontents of this address is then displayed in the message text. The variable itself can be updatedcontinuously via the interface. A typical message,as shown below, can be displayed easily:

Temperature: 20.5 °C

The explanatory text is saved in the message text memory and the temperature value will beinserted as a variable and updated as new variable data is sent to the reporter 690.

Attributes

Attributes are additional non-text information which can be allocated to message text in messagememory. Attributes are defined during message programming with the programming software.The following attributes are possible:

Priority: Texts provided with this immediately appear on the display regardless of thedisplay mode

Blinking: Text flashes when displayedTime limit: Maximum display duration of the corresponding text

Connection: Chaining of several messages for extensive text sequencesSerial print: The text provided with this is printed via the serial interface

Output: Texts with this attribute activate the alarm output contact of the reporter 690

Alarm output

By means of the alarm output - either opto-coupler or relay- the reporter 690 can perform controltasks. Messages, provided with the output attribute, activate the output. Thus, an optical oracoustical signal can be activated for warning messages.

Interfaces

The complete control and programming of the message display takes place through interfaces.For that purpose the message display has a serial and parallel interface.

The serial interface -available in the standards RS 232, RS422 and RS485- serves for thecomplete operation of the device, to chain several displays and communicate with the REPORTprogramming software.

The parallel interface consists of 8 (option 9) data inputs plus control inputs. They serve as inputsfor the parallel transmission of message numbers and data. Sensors, limit switches, relay circuits,hardwired logic, programmable controlers and so on can call up messages.

Setup

All operating parameters are managed in setup memory. Entries and changes are made with theREPORT programming software.

Special functions

Special functions can be activated by special command or the control input SFI. The specialfunctions are:

� Display of the operating parameters� Display test� Monitor mode� Read out the text memory� Test the input signals� Test the control signals� Delete the stack memory� Read out the diagnosis memory


2.


Option package

The reporter 690 "with option package" offers the following additional features:

� Historical memory for last 100 message numbers called� Battery-backed real-time clock� Stack memory expanded to 32 inputs� Memory expanded to 512 message numbers

REPORT Programming software

A comfortable, largely self-explaining, software enables easy programming of the reporter 690.The software requires a PC with an MS-DOS operating system to communicate with the reporter690 via a serial interface. The software is used to:

� define and manage message texts� enter defaults for variable data into the variable data memory� set operating parameters (setup)� activate and check additional and special functions

5.

Message numbers which are transmitted to reporter 690 arecalled up either directly or via the stack memory. This results in4 basic operating modes for the message text display.

1. Instantaneous value [Direct message]:

The incoming message requests are displayed directly without imtermediate storing.

2. Sequenced list [Cycle queue]:

The message numbers are put into the stack memory in the order received. The request on thefirst position of the stack memory (the message that arrived first) is displayed. Subsequentrequests are queued. With stack memory entries, the corresponding messagenumbers can becalled periodically one after the other by shifting in the direction of the first stack memory address.The entry pushed out of the first position is added to the end.

3. Queued [First in/First out]:

The message number requests are put into the stack memory in the order received. The requeston the first position of the stack memory (the message that arrived first) is displayed. Subsequentrequests are added to the end of the queue.The corresponding messages are called one after theother in order of queuing. An entry is lost after it is done being displayed. After one pass, the stackmemory is empty if no more messages come in. (Stack memory acts as a FIFO queue.)

4. Last value [Last in/First out]:

A message number request is put into the first stack memory address and is displayed. Requestsalready stored will be shifted backwards by one position. In this manner, the last message calledis always displayed first. Message numbers are called one after the other by shifting in the directionof the first stack memory address. An entry is lost after it is done being displayed. After one passthe stack memory is deleted if no more messages come in. (Stack memory acts as a LIFO queue.)

Switch over to saved message text requests

Switching over to the next message in the operating modes 2,3 and 4 is triggered by the input MPI(or key MPI) or by the message text itself if it has the attribute "time limit" (see chapter 5.3generating message texts).

Parallel data transmission with and without strobe [Strobe input]

There are two ways to put data into the parallel interface, depending onthe setup setting:

1. Dynamic, with strobe signal:

Input data which is waiting at E1..E9 is accepted with a positive signal edge at the Strobe controlinput. The minimum pulse length of the strobe signal (ts) is 10 ms.

Addresses are entered into the stack memory only once !

The stack memory isl not battery backed and is deleted after switching on or off the reporter690!

!

Determine the signal allocation for parallel interface [Binary/BCD]

The parallel interface of the reporter 690 consists of the inputs E1 to E8(E9 option). They act as data inputs for the parallel transmission ofinformation. You may allocate the signals, corresponding to yourrequest logic according to binary or BCD code.

E9 E8 E7 E6 E5 E4 E3 E2 E1

2. Static, without strobe signal:

When the reporter 690 recognizes a data change at the inputs E1... E9, a delay time (td) is startedinternally. After expiration of td, the data, waiting at this moment, is accepted. If a new data changeis recognized before expiration of td, the delay time is restarted.

The delay time td can be set in the setup, see next point.

Set acknowledgement for parallel data transmission [Output]

reporter 690 is able to send an acknowledgement signal afteracceptingan data through the parallel interface. The alarmoutput (relay or opto-coupler) is used for this purpose. The on-time of the output (acknowledgement time tq) is 200ms. Thetime between data acceptance and output of the acknowledge-ment signal (tdq) depends on the internal processing time.

If you want this acknowledgement, please select [Separate acknowledge]. If you use the alarmoutput as a message related control signal, select [Normal].

Set delay time for static data acceptance [Input delay]

You can set the delay time td from 20 to 990 ms. This is the requiredtime for the data to remain on the parallel inputs to be accepted.

The value to be entered is scaled by a factor of 10ms. Therefore, a delay time of 10 will be100ms!!

How to program the power-on message [Power-on message]

After a power-on sequence, a user-pro-gramable message is shown in the dis-play. This message is redeemed fromany activity on the serial or parallel inter-face.

To set the power-on message, choosethe item according to this point. You canenter any character for both lines. Thesecond line is alternating with a third linein a period of 3 seconds.

Set blink rate of message texts [Blink rate]

You may allocate the "flashing" attribute to message texts (seechapter 5.3.2). The corresponding text then flashes on the display.The flashing frequency is determined with a value from 2 to 50 -small values for fast flashing, large values for slow flashing.

Setting the cycle time for the moving screen [Cycle time]

Message texts can be displayed as moving screens. Both lines onthe display are permanently shifted character by character to theright or the left (see chapter 5.4.6).

The speed to move the display is determined with the setup parameter "Cycle". Values from 1...9can be entered. Select a larger value for slower movement of the text.

Message text addresses

Enter message texts

If a stored message is to be displayed in the normal operation of the reporter 690, it must beinitiated by transmission of its messagfe number. Therefore message numbers and the messagestored in this address are one unit. All 100 storage locations (option 512) are already designatedas input fields. The input mask is numbered successively with the addresses 1 to 100 (512). If youenter, for example, a message into field no. 1, later you may call this message by address no.1.

The fields for message text input are divided into lines 1 and 2. Each line has room for 20alphanumeric characters. This corresponds to the structure of the LCD display of the reporter 690.If you enter the text into the left field it will later appear in the upper line of the display. Texts enteredinto the right field, appear in the lower line. The text appears on the display as you have enteredit in the fields, including blank characters and spaces.

Attention: Do not use the special character "#". It is reserved as a placeholder forvariables (see the following point).!

5-11��


5.

Allocate variable numbers

Variables are texts which frequently change, as the name already reveals. They cannot be storedas fixed messages. Consider for example the display of a constantly changing measured value.The value is not in the message memory but in variable storage (see block diagram on the pages2-4). Here it is updated via the serial or parallel interface. In this way, a typical text, such as "testpoint1: 80.5 F", can be indicated appropriately. The 3-digit numerical value is the variable, theframing text plus decimal point is a fixed message text. The following must be considered whenembedding variables into messages:

� Assigning a variable to a message text line takes place by entering the number(address) where the desired variable is saved in the variable storage (and will beupdated too).

� For this purpose, variable data with max. 8 ASCII-characters can be inserted onceper line. The variable storage contains max. 99 variables. Therefore you may enter avalue between 1 and 99 in the corresponding field .

� Placeholders are entered in the message text to position the variable in the text line.Use the character "#" (ASCII 23hex). These placeholders are replaced by the variablefound via the variable number and aligned to the left when indicating the text. If thevariable text (max.8) is larger than the number of placeholders the end of the variabletext is cut correspondingly.

� The variables or their placeholders must not be entered successively and can beinterrupted by fixed text passages. These parts are simply skipped when aligning thevariable text to the left.

Example:

Fixed message text: test point1: ##.# F (assigned to variable No.1)Current contents variable No.1: 805

Displayed as: test point1: 80.5 F



5.

Program attributes

Attributes are additional non-text information which can be combined with a message. You maycombine a message with the following attributes:

P (Priority)B (Blinking)S (Serial print)O (Output)

Chain with (Associated message)Displ Time (Time limit)

Enter "X" (key X or mouse-click in the field) to activate the attributes "P"," B"," S" and " O". Theattributes "Chain. with" and "Displ. Time" are activated if you enter a numerical value in thecorresponding fields.

Priority

If you use the display modes Cycle queue, First in/First out or Last in/First out the transmittedmessage addresses will first be put into stack memory. Because the message displayed is theone in the first position in stack memory, this may lead to problems for alarm messages and otherimportant texts. They should be displayed immediately regardless of their sequence.

If you activate attribute "P" (Priority), the associated message is displayed immediately; regard-less of the display mode or sequence.

Only one message can hold thhe priority flag. A priority text always takes the first position in thestack memory. Existing texts will be shifted backwards.

Blinking

If you set the attribute "B" (blinking) the corresponding text flashes while displayed. The flashingfrequency is variable and defined in the setup (see chapter 5.2.3 edit setup data).

! The flashing frequency defined in the setup is for all texts associated with attribute "B".

Serial print

If a text with attribute "S" is displayed, the text is sent out the serial port of the reporter 690 at thesame time. By using thisfeature, the displaying of certain messages can be recorded.

5-13��


5.

Alarm Output

Messages for which the attribute "O" is set, activate the alarm output of the reporter 690 when theyare displayed. The message output remains active as long as the associated message is shownon the display.

Enter default message

The attribute "O" is effective only if the parameter "Output = Normal" is set in the setup thatmeans the message output is not used for acknowledging data transmissions (see chapter5.2.3 edit setup data).

!

Chained message

Depending on the appplication, it can be useful to chain several messages (chained message).Enter the address of the message to be chained with this message in field "Chain with". Anynumber of messages can be chained in sequence.

To switch over from one message to the chained message takes place with the input MPI or bythe message if it has the attribute "Displ. Time" (see next point).

Time limit

If there are messages in the stack message or if they are chained with each other, switch-over tothe next message takes place with the control input MPI (or the key MPI if available). The time limitdesired is allocated to a message by entering a time limit in the field "Displ. Time". Enter themaximum display time in seconds.

If the time limit of a displayed message is expired, the next message in the queue automaticallyappears or the chained message. If there is no chained or waiting message, the default -messageis displayed after expiration of the display time (see next point) .

If no message is requested and all waiting messages are processed, a default message appearsin the display. The default message is message address 100 (512 "with option package").

6. How to operate the reporter 690

6.


In this chapter you will learn how to

� select message numbers� transfer variable values� activate special functions

via the serial and parallel interface.

The reporter 690 is operated from a control unit (PLC, computer, wired logic, etc.). Control maybe performed via the serial as well as via the parallel interface of the display. This depends on therequirements of the total system. When control takes place via a PLC, limit switch, relay orsomething similar, the parallel interface is used. If the reporter 690 is part of a system with a centralcontrol computer data transfer takes place via the serial interface.

The parallel interface of the reporter 690 enablessimple activation without strict signal and protocolrequirements. Some characteristics of the parallelinterface depend on the setting in the setup.

Following you will find a summary of the mostimportant points concerning the parallel interface:

6.1.1 Call-in message texts

Summary of the most important points about message texts:

� 100 message texts maximum (512 with option package)

� One message texts includes 2 lines with max. 20 characters each

� The message texts are pre-programmed (with REPORT programming software) andare located in the message text memory of the reporter 690 (see chapter 5.3.2)

� Message texts can be provided with the attributes "P" (Priority), "B" (Blinking), "S"(Serial print), "O" (Output), "Chain. with" (Associated message) and "Displ. Time"(Time limit) (see chapter 5.3.2)

� Message texts can be indicated in the 4 operating modes "Direct message", "Cyclequeue", "First in/First out", or "Last in/First out", according to the setup setting (seechapter 5.2.3)

� Message texts may also include variable data

� Messages are called by transmission of their memory address

� If no message is called, either directly or via the stack memory, the standby messageappears (programmed in the message address 100 or with option package in address512)

� Messages in the queue of the stack memory and/or associated messages can beswitched with the input MPI

� The operating key of the reporter 690, if released in the setup, has the same functionas the input MPI

� Message requests in the stack memory are lost when switching off the operatingvoltage

To display a message text, the message address must be applied to the data inputs in binary orBCD. A rising edge at the control input Strobe activates the address. After the internal processing(in milliseconds), the corresponding message appears on the display. If you select the static datastrobe (disable strobe signal) in the setup, a message text address need only be applied to activatethe message. The following example shows how a display can be shown in this way.

Example:

In a clinic the reporter 690 is used for the monitoring and status display of an entrance gate to asensitive operating area. The automatic doors are controlled by limit switches. Therefore no"intelligent" control like a PLC or a computer system is responsible for the display.

Wiring, programming of the message texts and the setup settings are as follows:

6.1.2 Transmit variable values

Summary of the most important points about variables:

� Max. 99 variable values

� Variables are saved in the battery-backed memory for variables. This means that theyneed not be transmitted again after a power failure

� Two variable data can be inserted per message text. One for the upper line and onefor the lower line

� A variable consists of a maximum of 9 ASCII-characters

� Variables are connected with the message texts via their storage number

� The position of a variable in a message text is determined with the placeholder "#"

Entering variables via the parallel interface proceeds as follows:

1 Transmission of the variable addess set up as binary or BCD value,2. Transmission of the variable length set up as binary or BCD value,3. Transmission of the variable value set up as ASCII value.

9 ASCII-characters (left value first)

Example: The variable N0. 07 is updated via the parallel interface. Its length is defined as 3 bytesby 3 placeholders in the message text definition. The actual value of the variable is +50.

With Strobe:

1. Activate Variable2. Output 07 (address of variable),3. Activate Strobe (min. 10 ms),4 Deactivate Strobe,5. Output 03 (length of variable),6. Activate Strobe (min. 10ms),7. Deactivate Strobe,8. Output 2B hex/43 bcd (sign +),9. Activate Strobe (min. 10 ms),10. Deactivate Strobe,11. Output 35 (tens-digit),12. Activate Strobe (min. 10 ms),13. Deactivate Strobe,14. Output 30 (one digit),15. Activate Strobe (min. 10 ms),16. Deactivate Strobe,17. Deactivate Variable.

6.1.3 Activate special functions

To activate the additional or special functions via the parallel interface, two declarations are used:

� a code which describes the respective special function and� a control signal which identifies the set bit pattern as the code for the special function.

00 Display of all parameters01 Display test02 Monitor mode03 Forward output text

Control Code Spec. function

04 Backward output text05 Test input signals06 Test control signals07 Delete stack memory09 Read out diagnosis memory

Control codes for special functions.The control signal is the connection SFI,the code is shown in the opposite list.

The signal SFI must be present aslong as the special function is to becarried out. The operating mode"Special Function" is completedwhen SFI is deactivated and thesignal Strobe is activated. The inputsignals applied at this moment areidentified as message text addres-ses.

!

Notice:The special functions Test input signals and Test control signals are not included in theREPORT programming software and consequently are not described there. Their function is asfollows:

Test input signals The level (0/1) of the inputs E1...E9 is indicated on the display.

Test control signals The current level (0/1) of the control inputs Variable, Cycle, MPI, SFIis indicated on the display.

Example: Calling of the special function 03 (Output of all saved messages).

With Strobe:

1. Activate SFI2. Output code 033. Activate Strobe (Acceptance of

the special function)4. Deactivate Strobe (Strobe

pulse duration min. 10ms)5. Deactivate SFI (special

function is completed)6. Activate Strobe

Without Strobe:

1. Activate SFI2. Output code 03 (after internal

delay time acceptance of thespecial function)

3. Deactivate SFI (special function iscompleted)

4. Activate Strobe

In addition to the baud rate setting in the Setup with REPORT you may also use the "Auto-BaudRecognition" of reporter 690 to determine the transmission rate.

Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the reporter 690 with the PC2. Activate the input MPI3. Switch on the text display4. The following appreas on the display

To guarantee a clear recognition the space (20 hex, 32 dec., ASCII <space>) should bereceived.!

5. reporter 690 now waits for a space at the interface.6. The recognized baud rate is indicated immediately and saved in the setup of reporter

690.

The serial interface represents the most conveinient way to control the reporter 690.

Summary of the most important points about serial interfaces:

� Depending on the type of the reporter 690 , the serial interface may be RS 232, RS422 or RS 485 (see chapter 3.2)

� Baud rate can be set (in the setup) between 300 .... 9600 Bd (see chapter 5.2.3)

� For RS 232: Hardware handshaking is by RTS/CTS (see chapter 5.1)

� For RS 232: Data format is: 8Data bits, 1 Stopp bit, no parity

� For a troublefree data transfer between reporter 690 and the control unit interface;version, pin assignment, baud rate, data format and handshaking procedure mustcorrespond

6.2.2 Data transmission protocol

An exactly defined data format is used for the communication between reporter 690 and the controlunit.

A data sequence different from the protocol is rejected by the display with an error code!

The error code is returned to the control unit via the interface and indicated for 5 seconds on thedisplay.

!

The transmission block starts with the

Start characters ESC (1Bh).

For RS 422/485 the

Device address

of the device to be addressed must follow then. Afterthis start sequence a

Control code

Data byte(s)

For a better readability of the transmission protocol, the separators [;] semicolon and [:] colon canbe inserted and sent together with the transmission. These characters will be overlooked.

All alphanumerical values as control code, device address, figures and data which will betransmitted between reporter 690 and the control , are in ASCII-Code!

If the reporter 690 in its current version does not have a function available as requested by thecontrol code, an error message is displayed!

!

Example: The data byte 03 is transmitted to the reporter 690. The function belonging to thisinformation has the control code 8. According to RS 422 or RS 485 the device address of thedisplay to be addressed is 2.

ASCII sequence for RS 232: <ESC>8,03<CR><LF>

ASCII sequence for RS 422/485: <ESC>2,8,03<CR><LF>

Note: This protocol and the control characters are generally valid for serial control of the reporter690. It is also used by the REPORT programming software. Therefore, all functions, includingprogramming and setup, can be performed by the software. You will find an overview of all controlcodes in Appendix A.



6.

6.2.3 Data-acknowledgement

If an instruction sequence has been received and interpreted without any errors, the reporter 690sends a <CR> <LF> as acknowledgement to the sending unit. If the instruction did not correspondto the transmission protocol or if other transmission errors occured, a 2-digit error code (see table)will be returned to the control. The error is indicated for 5 seconds on the display of the text display.

6.2.4 Calling message numbers

According to the transmission protocol acontrol code must be transmitted beforetransfer of the message address. Theidentification for calling a message num-ber also contains a control code. Thereare 4 codes. These codes correspond tothe 4 message types of reporter 690.

0167

Control codeControl codes for message text calls

Attention: The control code must correspond with the message operation mode which is setin the setup. The setting in the setup has priority. Message types can not be changed by theoutput of another control code!

!

Example:

Message no. 1 is requested. Instantaneous value message is set in the setup .

The byte sequence to be transmitted:

<ESC>0:1<CR><LF>

6.2.5 Indicate message texts as moving screen

Each message text can also be indicatedas moving screen. To do this add controlcode "A" and a direction information tothe message text address.

The speed with which the display is mo-ved through can be defined in the setupprogram with the parameter Cycle time.Values from 1 to 9 are accepted. Inter-rupt this operating mode with the signal MPI, the operation key of the reporter 690, via the serialinterface with sequence <ESC>% or with activating one of the parallel inputs.

Example:

The message no. 15 shall be indicated as moving screen to the right.

6.2.6 Transmit variable values

Control code FunctionV Update variables

To update variables via the serial inter-face the following data sequence mustbe transmitted:

1. Start character <ESC>2. Control code for transfer of variables(V)3. The address of the variable (figure between 0...99)4. Length of the variables in byte (figure between 1...8)5. Sign (+ or-) if necessary6. Numerical value of the variables, beginning with the highest digit (max. 8 Bytes)7. End sequence <CR><LF>

Example: The variable no. 07 is updated via the serial interface. The length of the variable isdefined with 4 bytes in the message text definition by 4 placeholder characters. The current valueof the variable is +550.

A.3 Handshake serial interface

When transmitting RS 232 data, the reporter 690 can support hardware handshaking RTS/CTS(see setup setting chapter 5.1.3). The Handshake procedure is as follows:The RTS outputs areconnected with the CTS inputs. The reporter 690 and the control unit mutually inform themselveswhen they are ready to receive. If a receiver buffer isfull, it stops the transmission by deactivatingthe CTS input of the sender via its output RTS. Data will only be transmitted if both CTS and RTSsignals are active.
