GEP-9145 Innovation Series Controller Product Catalog
Overview
The pre-emptive multi-tasking
feature allows the scheduled
execution of a high priority
control task to interrupt the
execution of a low or medium
priority control task.
Innovation Series controllers are specifically designed for application in large

integrated drive systems and high performance hydraulic regulators. Each controller
has a pre-emptive multi-tasking operating system with revolutionary networking and
diagnostic features. The Windows -based Control System toolbox provides unique
configuration and monitoring tools with an integrated Graphics Window, Data
Historian, and Trend Recorder. Two controller form factors allow installation in a
Versa Module Eurocard (VME) rack (two forms available) or in an Innovation
Series drive rack (known as the Application Control Layer (ACL) as follows:
VME Form Factor
Primary controller in the system
Interface between sequencing logic

in programmable logic controller
(PLC) and drives in the system
Mill stand control in the metals

manufacturing industry
ACL Form Factor
High speed coordination of drives
Tension regulation in a coordinated

line
Coil diameter calculation in paper

and metal applications
Primary Controller
As the primary controller in a system, the Innovation Series controller uses the
Genius I/O and/or Field Control I/O for interface with field devices. I/O drivers
for the Drive LAN+ (DLAN+), Ethernet Global Data (EGD), and ISBus provide
connectivity to the AC/DC2000 and Innovation Series drives. Additional I/O drivers
are available for interfaces with other components in the system.
Control logic is edited and monitored in a graphic block diagram format using the
toolbox. The CIMPLICITY Human Machine Interface (HMI) and the controller
communicate over Ethernet using Serial Request Transfer Protocol (SRTP) or EGD.

Execution of Control Logic

Large industrial drive systems and mill stand controls require a wide range of
performance in execution of control functions. The following table displays typical
sweep rate requirements for common control functions.

Required Sweep Rate
Sequencing of hydraulic pumps

Sequencing of material handling equipment
128 ms
32 ms

Eccentricity control in a mill stand
1 msec
To meet this wide range of sweep rate requirements, the Innovation Series controllers
provide a pre-emptive multi-tasking environment for the execution of control logic.
Control functions are organized into tasks, which are scheduled and prioritized per
the requirements of the mechanical equipment. The following table displays available
priorities and rates for a given control task.

The pre-emptive multi-tasking feature allows the scheduled execution of a high

priority control task to interrupt the execution of a low or medium priority control
task. Also, a medium priority control task can interrupt a low priority control task.
Control task execution is as follows (refer to figure on following page):
1.
Copy all of the external inputs referenced in the task from the I/O Table to the
Software Signal Table.
2.
Execute the control logic in the task per the numbered sequence of blocks.
3.
When execution is complete, all external outputs referenced in the task are
copied from the Software Signal Table to the I/O Table except:
Configured I/O drivers read and
write the I/O Table values to

hardware asynchronously with the
execution of control logic tasks.
Mill Stand VME I/O outputs that are written directly to the I/O board at the
completion of high priority tasks.
DLAN+ command messages sent on the network according to the priority of the
task. All high and medium priority tasks run to completion before the message
is sent. In low priority tasks, the message is sent when the block is executed.
Tasks can be dynamically enabled and disabled from the control logic by connecting
the task enable to a signal and modifying the online value. When a task is disabled,
neither the I/O or user logic is executed.

A VME rack-based I/O module is available to provide the I/O requirements of high
performance regulators. The inputs tied to each VME high-speed regulator I/O
module are read into the I/O table once per millisecond, allowing synchronization of
inputs across several inter-related regulators. The outputs are written directly to the
module at the completion of the control logic task. Features of the VME I/O driver
are as follows:
Physical Mounting
DIN-rail is an international
standard for I/O connectors
The universal I/O board, SIOB, occupies one VME slot using the P1 connector.
Module faceplate connectors, J1 and J2, attach through cabling to a terminal base.
Field wiring connections on the terminal base are DIN-rail (Deutsche Industrie
Norm) mounted.
Three High-Speed Counters
Each counter has a marker pulse input that can also be configured for low speed or
high speed operation. The marker can be optionally enabled/disabled from a
software jumper. Each 16-bit counter operates in one of the following modes based
on jumper settings:
Low Speed (100 KHz) Isolated Differential - Optically isolated differential input at
+/- 5V or +/-15V differential. Maximum of 100 KHz in the A quad B or up/down
mode.
When using high speed, use

Beldon 813X cable (X is
number of cable pairs), for no
longer than 37m (120 ft).
High Speed (4/2.5 MHz) Differential Differential input at +/-5 V or +/-15 V.

Maximum frequency of 2.5 MHz in the A quad B mode or 4 MHz in the up/down
mode.
3-pulse Tachometer Alarm Inputs
Each of the 3-pulse counter input circuits has a corresponding discrete alarm input
circuit. This input is commonly used with the Sony Magnescale MSD-560N product,
to alert the control system that there is a problem with the sensor.
Eight Analog Inputs
Each analog input can be configured to one of the following ranges:

A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) technology is used for these circuits that yield
a variable resolution based on:
Sweep rate of the control logic task using the referenced point
Range selected for the point
For ranges 0 to 10V and -5 to +5V:

Resolution = 10 / [(2*106)*(Scan Rate of Control Task)] (V/Cnt)
For 10 to +10V:
Resolution = 20 / [(2*106)*(Scan Rate of Control Task)] (V/Cnt)
For ranges 0 to 20mA and -10 to +10mA:

Resolution = 10 / [(109)*(Scan Rate of Control Task)] (A/Cnt)
3-Pulse Tach Alarm Outputs

Each of the 3-pulse counter input circuits has a corresponding discrete alarm reset
output circuit. This output is commonly used with the Sony Magnescale MSD-560N
product, to reset an alarm tied to a fault condition.
Three Analog Outputs (buffered)
Each of the buffered analog outputs can operate in one of the following modes:
10 to +10V
20 to +20mA
60 to +60mA
Each of the outputs is capable of driving up to 60mA at +/-10V. This allows the
output to directly (without amplifier) control two stage servo valves.
16-bit analog to digital converter with 13-bits of monotonicity and 12-bits of

The Attached Resource

computer NETwork is a LAN
communications protocol that
serves as the basis for
DLAN+.
The Drive Local Area Network (DLAN+) is a control network for the Innovation
Series controllers (VME) and AC/DC2000 drives. The DLAN+ supports up to 255
devices, using a token-pass, peer-to-peer communication protocol. When a device
has the token, it can send a directed, group, or broadcast message.
Each device on the network has a page of memory that contains feedback and
command data. The addresses of the points on the pages are made known to other
devices through the System Database (SDB).
Each page in the system is broadcast every 320 milliseconds to all devices. This is
the default time and can be modified. To save bandwidth, only the variables of a
page that have changed are broadcast. To ensure that devices coming online are
properly initialized, the entire feedback page is broadcast every five seconds.
The Innovation Series controller maintains a copy of all pages in memory. Thus, it
can reference any feedback or command signal from any page. The diagnostic
information related to a page is carried into the control logic in two additional signals
that are automatically defined for each point:

These diagnostic signals can be used in control logic to intelligently react to

Machine Interface (HMI) system.
Blocks and alarms/diagnostics are available in control logic to send command
messages to one or a group of devices. These messages are sent out on the DLAN+
immediately after execution of the instruction, provided the instruction is not in a low
priority task.

Modbus
Protocol
This protocol is a master/slave scheme, where the master device (typically DCS or
HMI system) initiates all transactions (read or write). The Innovation Series
controller is always the follower, responding to requests from the master.
Error checking is done at both the byte (optional) and message level. Parity check is
done on each byte and either a Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) or Longitudinal
Redundancy Check (LRC) check sum is appended to each transmission based on the
mode.
There are two transmission modes:
ASCII Mode - Each 8-bit byte in the message is sent as two ASCII characters.
This allows time intervals of up to one second to occur between characters without
causing an error. Each transmission has an LRC check sum appended to the
message.
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Mode - Each 8-bit byte in the message is sent as
two 4-bit hexadecimal characters. This mode packs the data more efficiently than the
ASCII mode, providing better throughput at the same baud rate. Each message must
be sent as a continuous stream in this mode. Each transmission has a CRC check sum
appended to the message.

Protocol
The Ethernet Modbus is a multi-layer protocol, providing peer-to-peer

communication between controllers and other intelligent components in the system.
The Innovation Series controllers support the Data Access (register read/write) class
of services.
A transaction consists of a request-response message pair. The request has a function
code that defines its mission. The response contains the data in a read or an
acknowledge in a write operation. The layers of Modbus application protocol used
are:
Application layer is the Modbus Application Protocol (MBAP).
Transport layer (TCP) provides a reliable flow of data between two applications
TCP/UDP system.
Network layer handles routing of packets around the network.
Link layer handles communication to a specific network.
Physical layer is 10base T.

Most industrial control systems need to repeatedly send out a set of process variables
to other components in the system. This sharply contrasts with the connectionoriented model that is associated with most Ethernet TCP/IP protocols. Using the
EGD protocol, a data producer sends the data once and all data consumers receive it
simultaneously. This greatly reduces the network and device processing overhead
tied to the exchange of control data.
EGD uses a low level protocol (UDP/IP), which requires less overhead than fully
acknowledged stream oriented protocols. This type of protocol is very useful in the
following classes of applications:
Exchange of interlocks between PLCs and Innovation Series controllers in a

large system.
HMI systems that need periodic updates of selected variables to animate process
mimic screens.
Data collection processes that require periodic updates of certain process

variables.
EGD protocol is currently supported in the following control system products:
Series 90-70 PLCs
Innovation Series controllers
Innovation Series drives
CIMPLICITY HMI System
Mark VI Turbine Control System
A Windows NT Host Communication Toolkit is available from GE Fanuc for the

integrator that would like to establish EGD connectivity.

synchronous coupling (1, 4, 8 msec) between different devices in a control system.
Two services are provided, the majority of the bandwidth is allocated for sharing
register data between a master device and a set of slave devices. Any remaining
bandwidth is used to implement an asynchronous channel for configuration data. For
example, the following table shows permissible maximum frame rates for different

Configuration of I/O Drivers and Hardware

Hardware modules and I/O devices define the I/O used by the controller and connect
I/O with signals referenced in control logic. Each of the I/O drivers and hardware
devices are configured as follows:
26
1.
Insert an I/O driver or I/O device under the item, Hardware and I/O Definitions
item in the Outline View.
2.
Modify the hardware parameters using the associated dialog box.
3.
Define the I/O points associated with the I/O device or driver and connect them
to internal signals.
Organization of Control Logic

Control logic is organized at several levels to address functional partitioning, code
reuse, and performance requirements. The following table describes these levels on
the heirarchy, from the bottom up.
Control Logic Item
Examples
Instruction Block
Description
A library of instructions provide fundamental building
blocks for the control logic.
The order of execution for the instructions is determined
by the order of entry within the task.
There are two views of the library:
A list view of the instruction blocks in order of sequence
that does not illustrate signal connection between
blocks.
A connected view that displays signal connection (lines)
between blocks and order of execution with block
numbers. This connected view is auto generated.
Logic is documented by inserting comment blocks.
User Defined Macro
Instance of Toggle macro
User-defined instruction used for common control

functions. Attributes of a Macro include:
Name 12 characters
Revision V##.##n
Enable Pin Enables execution
Pins Parameters for the macro
Logic within Toggle macro

Macros can be nested up to three levels. Each time a
macro is inserted in logic, a unique copy is generated.
This allows the user to monitor the logic within the
macro.
Task
Outline View of task
A task has 1 to n instruction blocks and macros that are

executed at a given rate (1 256 msec) and priority
(high/medium/low).
At the beginning of the task, all external inputs are
copied from the I/O Table to the Software Signal Table
for reference during execution of control logic. After
completion of the control logic, external outputs are
copied to the I/O Table.
27
Control Logic Item

Module
Outline View of modules
A module provides another method for dividing up the

control logic and is also a tool for control logic reuse at a
higher level than a macro. Normally, a macro is used at
the device (motor or solenoid valve) level and a module
is used at the manufacturing function (furnace section,
coil car, mill stand) level.
A module is made up of 1 to n tasks that can operate at
different rates and the same priorities.
A Graphic Window file can be associated with each
module.

Permissive Diagnostic Function

The Innovation Series controllers provide a unique diagnostic function for
permissive faults in control logic. The following sections describe how
controllers diagnose and present faults.
A common problem in control system maintenance today is the length of
time required to diagnose a permissive related machine fault. The following
are examples of permissive related faults:
Permissive Fault
Root Cause
Pump motor does not start
Intake valve is closed
Conveyor motor does not start
Broken limit switch
Material handling system does

not go to automatic mode
Safety gate is open
Electrical drive trips out
Intermittent current overload fault
The typical scenario for troubleshooting a permissive fault is as follows:
Step
Time
(Minutes)
Description
5 10
Operator alerts maintenance of the problem.
10 15
Technician locates programming software

for the controller and connects to the
suspect controller.
10 20
Technician traces back from device that will

not start (or is tripped out) through the
control logic, looking for the root permissive
(or group of permissives) causing the
problem.
Total = 25 45 minutes
32
Currently HMI permissive screens help operators and technicians troubleshoot

permissive faults. These screens contain animated lists of permissives for key
functions. However, there are two significant problems with this approach:
1.
Extensive engineering is required to design and test an animated permissive

screen for every control function.
2.
Synchronization of the permissive screens in the HMI system and control

logic is a manual operation.
The Innovation Series controllers resolve this problem with a unique set of control
instruction blocks and associated operator interface tools (Diagnose). By categorizing
the permissives and identifying the start and stop triggers, the controller firmware can
detect and diagnose permissive faults. The operator is alerted to permissive faults and
presented with a relay ladder logic (RLD) representation of the permissives causing
the fault.
This dramatically changes the common troubleshooting as follows:
Time
(Minutes)
Step
Description
Operator detects problem with pushbutton
Permissive diagnostic function graphically

tells the operator the cause of the problem.
Total = 5 minutes
Fault Detection
The instructions blocks in the following figure contain the permissive logic for a Spot
Jog Forward and Spot Jog Reverse function. The permissives are categorized into
start (SPRM) and run permissives (RPRM), and on requests (ONREQ), off requests
(OFFREQ). This allows the Permissive Engine (PENG) block to detect permissive
faults.
33
A start permissive fault occurs when the ONREQ input transitions to True and either
the SPRM or RPRM inputs are False. A run permissive fault occurs when the ON
output transitions to False due to the loss of SPRM or RPRM. Upon detection of a
permissive fault, the state of all Boolean variables involved (including variables
referenced in instructions feeding into the permissive engine instruction) in the
control logic are captured and archived with Message View.
A chronological log of permissive faults is available in a tabular Windows
application for the operator and maintenance personnel. A fault code is also put into
STATUS output allowing the graphical HMI system to indicate a permissive fault.

Presenting the Diagnosis

The permissive diagnostic application (Diagnose) can be started from the graphical
HMI system or the chronological permissive fault log (Message View).
When started from the HMI system, Diagnose is given the name of the controller and
name of signal being controlled. It then passes that information to the controller,
where the diagnostic function is performed. The diagnostic information is then
passed back to Diagnose, which presents the missing permissives in a relay ladder
diagram (RLD) format (see figure below).
When started from Message View, Diagnose is given the name of the controller,
name of signal being controlled, and the status of all Boolean variables involved in
the control logic for that signal at the time of the fault. This allows the permissive
diagnostic function to detect the loss of a permissive in the controller. After
completing the diagnosis, the results are sent to Diagnose, which presents the missing
permissives in RLD format (see figure below).
