2 Introduction
2.1 This manual

This manual provides thorough information on the Westinghouse F4F protocol and
information related to it. It describes the implementation of the interface between SYS600
and the control center using F4F protocol.
In order to fully understand the concepts outlined here, the reader should be familiar
with the SCIL programming language, and general SYS600 application techniques.
General knowledge about the Westinghouse F4F protocol is also needed.
General principles
Since the Westinghouse outstation and SYS600/PC-NET are completely different
hardware platforms, the protocol emulation is somewhat restricted and it should therefore
not be assumed that all features available in the Westinghouse outstation are available
in the PC-NET implementation.
The general strategy used in this implementation can be summarized as follows:
• The Westinghouse control center sees SYS600 as a Westinghouse outstation.
• SYS600 contains the necessary protocol conversion features that enable it to send
and receive F4F telegrams.
• The SCIL application program in base systems sees the SYS600 F4F-emulator as
a WES type device.
• Commands and output messages sent by the control center are seen as process inputs
to the SCIL program. When this kind of input is activated, the application reads the
input value and performs scaling and address conversions, before it activates the
desired output.
• The PC-NET has an internal database for data that must be sent to the control center.
The control center sees the PC-NET internal database as input.
The cross-reference information needed to associate data in the base system with the
corresponding Westinghouse objects is included in the process objects of the base system.

3.1 Application programming

The application program of SYS600 is responsible for the data transfer process between
the local process database and the Westinghouse control center. The application program
can read and write data from/to a PC-NET internal database using communication
attributes. The PC-NET has an internal database to store all the information of the process
objects which must be sent to the control center. The PC-NET internal database simulates
the IO-data of a real Westinghouse outstation. All IO-data of the Westinghouse outstation
is memory mapped the following way:
• One outstation contains 32 IO-modules.
• Each module contains 8 words.
• A word has 16 bits.
• Each word has two configuration parameters: a group number and a category number.
The address ranges are:
• Module number: 0..31
• Word number: 0..7
• Bit number: 0..15
The group number of a word determines to which data reduction group this (analog)
object belongs. It is possible to use only analog data with group numbers. When category
numbers are used, the data objects are divided into 8 different priority levels. The control
center polls each priority level with a certain polling cycle.
The group and category information is automatically updated by the control center when
the outstation is restarted.
The PC-NET can simulate several Westinghouse outstations simultaneously. Each virtual
outstation has an ordinary device number (1..255) and a station address.
3.2 Data transfer between the base system and Westinghouse
3.2.1 Cross-reference handling
The association between SYS600 objects and Westinghouse objects (IO-module and
word numbers) is implemented using cross-reference information from the process object.
Cross-reference information is added to the process object with the process object editor.
Information is kept in the FX and FI attributes.
The general syntax for an FX cross-reference is:
<STA_NUMBER.><ADDRESS.>(<BIT_NUMBER.>)
11

STA_NUMBER:
Logical STA number (range 1..255). The value is stored as 3 right justified ASCII digits
with leading spaces added if necessary. STA_NUMBER uses positions 1..3 of the FX
string.
ADDRESS:
The address of the Westinghouse object. The address is coded from the IO module
number and word number the following way:
ADDRESS = 10*IO_MODULE_NUMBER + IO_WORD_NUMBER
ADDRESS uses positions 4..6 of the FX string.
BIT_NUMBER:
Bit number range 0..15. This is used only if the process object is an indication. The
BIT_NUMBER uses string positions 7,8 of the FX string.
The FI attribute is used for commands and setpoints which are coming from the control
center. The base system database has intermediate process objects for the setpoints and
commands. There is a certain relation between the object address (OA attribute) of the
process object, the module number and the IO number information associated with
setpoint and command messages. The FI attribute of the intermediate process object
informs the SCIL program which is a process object index (of SRIO). The process object
index is connected to that output, see Section 3.4.1 Process commands.
3.3 Analog inputs

The following command procedure is activated each time the process object is updated.
It reads the updated value and sends it to the PC-NET internal database. If the value of
the word number in the PC-NET internal database is changed more than the data reduction
factor, PC-NET sends a new value to the control center. When the Westinghouse control
center uses analog inputs as 12 bit value, some kind of scaling may also be required.
;READ CROSS REFERENCE INFO
@STA_NR = DEC_SCAN(SUBSTR(‘LN’:PFX(‘IX’),1,3))
@BLK_NR = DEC_SCAN(SUBSTR(‘LN’:PFX(‘IX’),4,3))
;UPDATE NET INTERNAL DATABASE
#SET STA’STA_NR’:SAV(%BLK_NR) = %AI
3.3.1 Indications
Indications are manipulated using the ID attribute. The ID attribute changes the state of
one bit in an object word. This means that if double indication is used, it is necessary to
update two ID attributes. The value of the changed word is transferred directly to the
control center, without using any data reduction mechanism. The following example
shows the usage of single indications:
12

@BIT_NR = DEC_SCAN(SUBSTR(‘LN’:PFX(‘IX’),7,2))
;UDATE NET INTERNAL DATABASE
#SET STA’STA_NR’:SID(%BLK_NR) = (%BIT_NR,%BI)
3.3.2 Time tags
Time tag events are generated using the EV attribute. Time tag events look like single
indications with a time stamp, which indicates the time when the change occurred. Time
tags may not be written to the PC-NET before the internal time of the PC-NET is
synchronized with the control center. The status of the time synchronization can be
checked with the TI attribute. The following example shows the usage of single
indications:
@BIT_NR = DEC_SCAN(SUBSTR(‘LN’:PFX(‘IX’),7,2))
#SET STA’STA_NR’:SEV(%BLK_NR) = (RTU_ATIME(%RT),%BIT_NR,%BI)
3.3.3 Pulse counters
The Westinghouse outstation has special counter cards for pulse counting. The
implementation of the pulse counters for the PC-NET has some limitations. This is due
to the fact that the addressing of these counters differs from the normal input cards and
because the hardware has specific commands. The PC-NET does not simulate any counter
commands (for example freeze counters) and it is possible to use only the first four
counters of the card (0..3). The value of the pulse counter uses two successive 16-bit
words. The actual values of the pulse counters are stored in the least significant 16-bits
in a 24-bit long word. The highest 8-bits have hardware specific information of the state
of the pulse counters. This information is simulated by adding a constant to the actual
counter value. The following example shows the usage of the pulse counters:
#SET STA’STA_NR’:SAV(%BLK_NR) = ROUND(%AI) MOD 65536
#SET STA’STA_NR’:SAV(%BLK_NR+1) = ROUND(%AI) DIV 65536 + 36864
3.4 Process output data

Since the SYS600 application sees the protocol converter as a WES type device, data is
transferred from the control center to the application as process input. When this kind
of input is updated, the value is read by a command procedure and, if necessary, converted
13

before it is written to the actual output object. The command procedure is activated
through an event channel which is bound to the input object.
3.4.1 Process commands
The process commands from the Westinghouse control center are handled as digital
inputs, with the object address (OA attribute) in the range 256..4095. The relation between
the object address and the actual address of the command is the following:
Object address = 128*IO_MODULE+16*WORD_NUMBER+BIT_NUMBER+256
When the PC-NET receives a process command message, it reads the object number
from the message and activates the SYS600 process object with this object address. Then
it sets its value according to the command.
Here is a command procedure that is used when no special processing is required for a
command:
@OBJ_IX = ‘LN’:PFI(‘IX’)
#SET ‘LN’:PBO(%OBJ_IX) = %DI
3.4.2 Analog setpoints
Analog setpoints are seen as AI process objects. The object address (OA attribute) range
is 0..254.
The relation between the object address and the actual address of a setpoint is the
following:
Object address = 8*IO_MODULE+WORD_NUMBER
Object address 255 is reserved for time synchronization information.
Here is a command procedure that is used to handle analog setpoint when no special
processing is needed for the setpoint value:
@OBJ_IX = ‘LN’:PFI(‘IX’)
#SET ‘LN’:PAO(%OBJ_IX) = %AI
3.4.3 System start-up
When the systems is restarted, the PC-NET program is started automatically and the
configuration must be loaded from SCIL. For more information see Chapter 4
Configuration example.
After start-up, the PC-NET does not reply to any telegrams from Westinghouse because
its internal database is undefined. The application must first incorporate into the PC-NET
internal database all the data that has to be sent to the control center. This is done with
the communication attributes AV and ID. When the PC-NET internal database is updated,
14
the application program must set the DI attribute to 1 to start communication between
the systems.
Time tagged events are not allowed to be transferred before the control center has
synchronized the clock of PC-NET. The TI attribute of PC-NET informs the user when
the time is synchronized.
The handling of the clock depends on the type of time synchronization. The Westinghouse
remote terminals may have two types of time synchronization:
• With PIP time synchronization (PIP sync), the control center performs the time
synchronization by sending the time and a PIP code to slave devices by using a
special PIP card. Because PC-NET cannot reply correctly to the PIP code, this
method does not work without changes in the PIP card.
• With soft synchronization (soft sync), the control center sends a specific message
to set the internal time of SYS600. PC-NET supports the soft synchronization method
directly.
The synchronization type affects the handling of the PC-NET internal time, because the
control center sends the absolute time to PC-NET with PIP sync, but not with soft sync.
This means that with PIP sync the control center updates the time of the PC-NET internal
clock every time when synchronization occurs (every 12 min.). SYS600 may also
synchronize the process devices to have the same time as the control center. The base
system can detect the moment of the synchronization using a process object which is
reserved for this purpose (analog setpoint with the object address = 255). PC-NET updates
the value of the process object every time it receives a PIP sync message.
With soft sync, the control center does not send new time to the slave. It only stores the
time of the synchronization.
Start up procedure with PIP synchronization:

1. Write all data (indications, measurands and pulse counters) that must be sent to the
control center to the PC-NET internal database.
2. Write the PIP code to the PD attribute.
#SET NET1:SPD3=52309
3. Set time sync mode to 1 (updating the internal clock is always allowed).
#SET STA51:SMD=1
4. Start communication between PC-NET and control center by writing to the flag DI
=1
15

#SET STA51:SDI = 1
;Time synchronization
when OA 255 is updated, time sync is received from the control center
(PC-NET and the base system have the same time)
;Timed events
writing time tagged events to PC-NET is allowed after the first time
synchronization (STA51:STI == 1)
Start up procedure with soft synchronization:

1. Write all data (indications, measurands and pulse counters) which must be sent to the
control center to the PC-NET internal database.
2. Set time sync mode to 0 (only the first time sync is processed)
#SET STA51:SMD=0
3. Start communication between PC-NET and control center by writing to the flag DI
=1
#SET STA51:SDI = 1
;Time synchronization
after every 10 min. (time channel), the process may be synchronized
;Timed events
writing time tagged events to PC-NET is allowed after the first time
synchronization (STA51:STI = 1).
Contact your local supplier if more information is required.
3.5 Device attributes

The WES station has the following attributes:
AL Allocation
The F4F interface is reserved for a particular application. The value should always be
1.
Access: No limitations
Index range: no indices
Value range: 0...1
AS Allocating Application
The application number of the application has reserved the F4F interface.
Access: Read-only
16
AS Allocating Application
Value range: 0...250
0 = no application
AV Analog Value
The changes in the analog measured values that are to be sent to the control center are
written to this attribute. The value must change more than the data reduction factor
parameter before it can be transmitted to the control center.
Index range: 200...317
The relation between the attribute index and the Westinghouse addressing is the following:
Index = 10 * IO module number + word number
Example:
IO module = 20, Word number = 1, New value= 1111
#SET STA51:SAV(201)=1111
CN Category Number
This attribute determines the transmission priority of certain IO words. All category
numbers are automatically downloaded by the control center when the system starts
up.
Access: Read, conditional write
Value range: 0...7
DI Database Initialized
At system start-up the PC-NET sets DI to 0. When the base system has updated all
values in the PC-NET internal database, this attribute has to be set to 1 by the application
program. PC-NET does not answer to polls before the DI attribute equals 1.
Value range: 0...1
EV Timed Event Values

By writing to the attribute EV, the base system is able to send an indication with time
stamp to the control center. The content of the EV attribute can also be read back, but
then the value indicates the number of the events in the time tag queue that are waiting
to be transmitted to the control center.
17

EV Timed Event Values

Value range: vector
Vector: <TIME>,<BIT_NR>,<VALUE>
Time: Time formatted with RTU_ATIME function
The relation between the attribute index and the Westinghouse addressing is the following:
Index = 10 * IO module number + word number
Example:
IO module = 10, Word number = 2, Bit number= 3 New value= 1
#SET STA51:SEV(102)=(RTU_ATIME(%clock),3,1)
#SET STA51:SEV(102)=(RTU_ATIME(%clock),3,1)
FT Data reduction factor table

This attribute determines the data reduction factors of the groups. The data reduction
factors can only be used with analog measurands. All the group numbers are automat-
ically downloaded by the control center when the system starts up.
Value range: vector
Vector: (f0,f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7)
f0: Data reduction factor for group 0
GN Group Number
This attribute determines the data reduction group of an IO word. All the group numbers
are automatically downloaded by the control center when the system starts up.
Value range: 0...7
ID Indications
By writing to the ID attribute, the base system is able to send the new value of a binary
object to the control center. If the bit number is 16, the value is used as 16 bit analog
value.
18
ID Indications
Value range: Vector
Vector: (<BIT_NR>,<VALUE>)
BIT_NR: 0...15
VALUE: 0...1

4 Configuration example
The base system station object must be created. The common way to do this is to add
the following lines to the SYS_BASCON.COM file:
#CREATE STA:V = LIST(-
TT = "EXTERNAL",-
ST = "WES",-
ND = 2,-
TN = 1)
#CREATE STA1:B = %STA
Normally the TN attribute is equal to the number of the station, in this example number
1. The object is created when the system is started.
When the system is running, the Westinghouse F4F line and station objects can be created
online using the following SCIL-script. The PC-NET node number in this example is 2,
the line number is 1 and the station number is also 1.
@NET=2
@STA = 1
@LINE = 1
#SET NET'NET':SPO'LINE'=18
#SET NET'NET':SDV(26)=('STA','LINE')
#SET NET'NET':SSD'LINE'="COM6" ; COM port 6 used.
#SET NET'NET':SBR'LINE'=200
#SET NET'NET':SEN'LINE'=3
#SET NET'NET':SHT'LINE'=150
#SET NET'NET':SMS'LINE'='NET'
#SET STA'STA':SAL=1
#SET STA'STA':SSA='LINE'
