New Functions
Engineering Environment
Performance Improvements
A number of performance improvements have been done in this Service Pack:
• Improved performance in compiler
A number of different items have been optimized during the compilation of a
project. These improvements results in faster compilation and downloads.
• Increased data transfer rate to Controller
(The data transfer from Control Builder to Controller now takes 5k bytes of
data each transfer instead of only 1k byte.)
• Configuration of Difference Report start value analysis
It is now possible for the user to disable Difference Report and/or Start values
analysis. This enhancement improves the performance and memory allocation
during "Download Project and Go Online" and "Online".
• Search & Navigation tool not updated when going Online
The default value of the menu option Tools->Setup->Search & Navigation
Settings->Rebuild the Search Data when going to Online/Test Mode has
been changed from true to false. This change has improved the "Go Online
with Download" performance a lot. With this setting the Search & Navigation
data will be updated the first time the Search & Navigation function is used in
3BSE033044D5011 21
Engineering Environment Section 3 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.1/0
online mode. If the user changes the default value back to true, everything will
work as in previous releases.
• General engineering improvements with msxml6 parser instead of msxml4
By using the MSXML6 parser instead of MSXML4 has the performance
regarding Engineering in the Control Builder been generally improved.
The user will be notified during the installation of Control Builder if installation
of MSXML6 is needed. In that case is it just to accept the question if installation
shall be done (software delivered together with Control Builder software).
• No refresh of unchanged Project when going online
This change will result in a significant improvement of the performance in
some projects during engineering.
• Performance printouts in Control Builder session log
In the session log of the Control Builder performance figures are written for the
following operations from the Control Builder: "Open project", "Download
and Go Online" and "Online". This is for maintenance purposes.
22 3BSE033044D5011
Section 3 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.1/0 Control and I/O
Improved Device Import Wizard

This version includes a much improved version of the Device Import Wizard.
It is strongly recommended to use the new Device Import Wizard version 1.2.0,
instead of the older one. About a dozen smaller error corrections have been made.
In addition, the following improvements have been made:
• Better support for severity definition for diagnostics
• Signed integer data types are now supported
• Scaled analog format is now supported
• It is possible to make a customer comment during import
Portability Verification
This new menu is located under the menu option Tools -> Verify Portability in the
Project Explorer. This functionality verifies that the source code doesn't contain any
characters with an ASCII value above 127. If a project, containing characters with
ASCII values above 127, is moved between computers with different local system
settings it may result in errors when the Control Builder project is loaded.
POU Editor Show Instance Path Online

The title bar of a POU editor now shows the complete instance path to the editor that
is opened in online mode. Before only the name of the instance was shown in the
title bar.
Control and I/O
Support for Modbus TCP

The new CI867 adds support for Modbus TCP.
Controller Logs sent to Computers at Shut Down of Controller

When a Controller does a shut down the Controller log will be broadcast on the
Control Network and stored in the working folder for the MMS Server on the
computers running an MMS Server.
3BSE033044D5011 23
Control and I/O Section 3 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.1/0
Not used Communication Ports on Controller are Closed

The communication ports on the Controller are now closed when they are not in use.
This change is done to improve the protection of the Controller from
unwanted/dangerous communication. (Before only broadcasts were filtered, now all
packets are filtered).
Support for New Hardware Units

The following new hardware units are supported:
• TB840A
• CI867 Modbus TCP
"Over/Under" Range Support for all Analog Inputs on S800 I/O

Analog inputs can now be read below 0% and above 100%. The ranges are defined
by the capability of each I/O module type. It is also possible to set the ISP value,
according to the limits implemented for under/over range on the AI modules. This
functionality is activated if the parameter "Clamp analog input values", in the
settings tab of the AC 800M hardware object, is set to false.
Harmonized Under/Overflow Limits for S800 I/O Analog Modules

• Underflow indication levels for AI825 was not the same as for other AI
modules
Underflow for signal ranges 0 to 10V, 2 to 10V, 0 to 20mA and 4 to 20mA on
the AI825 was before -10%. This is no changed to -5%.
• AI890 and AI895 on Profibus had too low value for overflow range
The AI890 and AI895 I/O modules indicated overflow too early according to
the documentation. (Before overflow was indicated at 22.1 mA, this is now
changed to 22.4 mA).
• AO895 had too low level for underflow range
24 3BSE033044D5011
Password Protection of Web Server in CI854

The web server in the CI854 is now protected with a password. The web server
needs to be unlocked with the password if the user shall be able to make any
configurations of it. The default settings are:
User: service
Password: ac800m
The password can be changed by the user after the first log in.
RNRP Support for Redundant Default Gateways

RNRP now has support for redundant Default Gateways. This functionality is useful
when network areas at different sites are interconnected.
User Defined Serial Communication Improvements

• Checksum type 23 added for serial communication
A new checksum 23 of the type LRC Modbus is added in the SerialSetup
function block in the SerialCommLib.
• CCITT CRC16 calculation with the polynomial 0x1021
A new CCITT CRC16 calculation with the polynomial 0x1021 is available in
the system. This CRC can be used in the serial communication objects by
entering the checksum type 11.
• Faster serial communication when using objects in SerialCommLib
Running serial communication using the objects in SerialCommLib is about
3 times faster than in the previous release. Due to this improvement the CPU
load may increase with about 2% when running serial communication.
New Compilation Warnings

• When downloading to an empty Controller a warning about IP-address is given
When downloading to an empty controller a warning message will occur in the
compilation summary window with the following text:
Check if the correct IP address, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, is being
downloaded (controller is empty)
3BSE033044D5011 25
Reset Max. Values for all Tasks in the Controller

In the Tools menu of the task overview window the menu option Reset Max is
added. It resets the max values for all tasks in the Controller. (Before it was
necessary to open each individual task dialog and press Reset Max to reset the
values).
CI855 Unit is not Reconfigured when its Hardware Tree has Changed
Previously, the CI855 was reconfigured when anything had changed in its Hardware
tree. This behavior is now changed so the CI855 will only be reconfigured when
parameters on the CI855 board has changed. Changed CA or node objects will not
cause a reconfiguration of the CI855 unit anymore.
Try to Reconnect a Broken MMS Connection Immediately

If a working MMS Connection is broken, the client now immediately will try to
reconnect again. (Before it took 10s before the client tried to reconnect).
26 3BSE033044D5011
Section 3 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.1/0 Standard Libraries
Standard Libraries
New Firmware Functions

The firmware functions
– InsertArray
– SearchArray
– SearchStructComponent
are now officially supported.
Adaptation of Objects for "Over/Under" Range Support

Some library objects have been modified to be able to handle support for extended
range in input objects, and possibility to force the output objects into the extended
range. This functionality in the objects is controlled with the new parameter
"EnableOverUnderRange" in the objects.
The library objects that have been extended with this new functionality are the
following: AnalogInCC and AnalogOutCC in ControlStandardLib. SignalInReal,
SignalOutReal, SignalSimpleInReal, SignalSimpleOutReal, SignalInRealM,
SignalOutRealM, SignalSimpleInRealM and SignalSimpleOutRealM in SignalLib.
Signal Objects - Signal Input Modules Extended with Latched Alarms

It is now possible to configure some input signal modules so they require an
operator action before the object is put back in operation again. This is typically
used after a signal status has gone from bad to good, and the operator wants to
evaluate the information before data from the object is used in the application again.
The following Control Module types in SignalLib have been extended with this new
functionality: SignalInBoolM, SignalInRealM, SignalCalcInRealM and
SignalSimpleInRealM.
3BSE033044D5011 27
Discontinued and Replaced Functions and Units Section 3 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.1/0
Discontinued and Replaced Functions and Units

Firmware Functions Changing Constants and Literals
Some firmware functions have incorrectly allowed the application to change the
values of constants and literals. See Firmware Functions Changing Constants and
Literals on page 81.
Too many parameters were allowed in the Min, Max and Mux functions
It was possible to add to many input parameters of the data types time and
date_and_time to the functions min, max and mux. See Too many parameters were
allowed in the Min, Max and Mux functions on page 99.
The Tab Named COMLI in the Access Variable Editor is Renamed

There was a tab named COMLI in the access variable editor. This tab has now
changed name to Address because this tab is used for more protocols than the
COMLI protocol (for example Modbus TCP).
Alarm Definition Failed has Changed Severity

The severity of the system alarm "AlarmDefErr" has been changed from Medium to
Low. Because of this change there will not be a printout in the Controller log
anymore if an alarm definition fails, since the default setting for "AE System events
to Controller log" is Medium.
Deadband Parameters Removed on AI830 and AI835 I/O Modules

The deadband parameters on the I/O modules AI830 and AI835 have been removed.
(They existed before, but were not supported).
FF H1 (CI852) Functionality Removed from Standard Firmware

The FF H1 functionality has been removed from the firmware versions in the
BasicHwLib. It is necessary to load a special firmware to the Controller if FF H1
shall be used. The special firmware is loaded to the Controller using the Serial
Firmware Upgrade tool.
28 3BSE033044D5011
Section 3 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.1/0 Coexistence Download
This firmware is not installed by default; copy the folder SC860rFFH1 from the
FirmwareFiles folder on the product media, to the folder for firmware on your hard
drive.
Manually browse to the folder ...\FirmwareFiles\SC860rFFH1 from the Serial
Firmware Upgrade tool, then select firmware.txt.
After the Controller is upgraded, please verify that the latest available firmware is
used in the CI852 unit. (Use the Show Firmware Information option in the Remote
System dialog in the Control Builder to verify the firmware version). Upgrade the
firmware if necessary.
Coexistence Download
If a new version of protocol handlers was downloaded during a co-existence
download this could result in that the Communication Interfaces stopped for a
couple of minutes during the upgrade of the protocol handler in the Controller.
This has been changed:
If the download is made to an empty Controller, the latest protocol handler will
always be downloaded to the Controller.
If the Controller is running and a newer protocol handler exists for a protocol used
in the Controller, the user will be informed about this but the new protocol handler
will not be downloaded.
Download of new protocol handlers from a Compact Control Builder requires a

controller reset before the download is made.

Single Application download to Controller

It is now possible to make a download of only one Application to an empty
Controller even if there are more Applications connected to the Controller.
In the SV5.0 release it was necessary to download all Applications before if was
possible to select how many applications that should be downloaded to a Controller.

General
Coexistence of Controller Versions

Starting from version 5 and installing newer versions of Control Builder and/or OPC
Server does not require a controller upgrade. Controllers with different firmware
versions can coexist in the same network, and newer versions of Control Builder and
OPC Server can connect to controllers of older versions (not older than version 5).
Uninstall not Needed Before Upgrade

From version 5, it is not necessary to uninstall the current version of the product
before a newer version of the product is installed. Settings in the current version will
be kept during the upgrade. As a consequence of this, there is no version number on
the working folders anymore.
Migration Between Compact Control Builder AC 800M and 800xA

It is possible to move solutions between Compact Control Builder AC 800M and
800xA.
All migration between Compact Control Builder AC 800M and 800xA is done by
using Control Builder Professional. Migration cannot be done by using Compact
Control Builder AC 800M.
3BSE033044D5011 31
General Section 4 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.0/0
• Compatibility
It is only possible to migrate between 800xA and Compact Control Builder
AC 800M within the same version, that is, it is not possible to migrate from
Compact Control Builder 4.1 to 800xA 5.0 and vice versa.
If a user wants to migrate from Compact Control Builder 4.1 to 800xA 5.0, the
user must first upgrade the Compact Control Builder 4.1 project to Compact
Control Builder AC 800M 5.0, and then migrate to 800xA. The same applies if
a user want to migrate from, for example 800xA 4.0 to Compact Control
Builder AC 800M 5.0. In that case the whole system must be upgraded to
800xA 5.0, before a migration to Compact Control Builder AC 800M 5.0 can
be performed.
It is not possible to open an older Compact Control Builder project in the
current version of Compact Control Builder. The project must be upgraded
before it is possible to open the project. The Control Builder checks the build
version in the source code before opening any project.
• General constraints
It is possible to move a control project to 800xA only once.
It is not possible to migrate from 800xA to Compact Control Builder AC 800M
if the project contains AC 800M HI controllers, because it is not possible to use
HI controllers in the Compact Control Builder.
It is not possible to migrate projects, containing more than one version of a user
library, from 800xA to Compact Control Builder, because only one version of a
user library is supported in Compact Control Builder.
• Migration from 800xA to Compact Control Builder AC 800M
When migrating from 800xA to Compact Control Builder, it is only possible to
migrate complete projects. Migration of single libraries, applications,
controllers or types is not supported. If the user wants to migrate smaller
objects than complete projects, the user has to package them within a small or
empty project.
The migrated project are placed in the selected folder, together with all
applications and controllers within the project. All libraries (both POU and
hardware) that are user-defined are also placed in this directory.
32 3BSE033044D5011
Section 4 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.0/0 Engineering Environment
• Migration from Compact Control Builder AC 800M to 800xA

When migrating from Compact Control Builder AC 800M to 800xA, it is only
possible to migrate complete projects. Migration of single libraries,
applications, controllers or types is not supported. If the user wants to migrate
smaller objects than complete projects, the user has to package them within a
small or empty project.
Before migrating, the user should ensure that all libraries that are used in the
project are available. Leave the libraries in the project folder, if they are placed
there. If libraries that are used in the project are placed in the “Libraries” folder
structure, this “Libraries” folder must be placed at the same hierachical level as
the folder that contains the project to migrate. This is necessary to be able to
find all libraries used in the project.
Engineering Environment
Support for Chinese

The Control Builder user interface, that is the menus and dialogs are translated into
Chinese.
Library Handling
• Hardware libraries
Hardware libraries replace the built-in hardware types that were loaded into the
previous Control Builder version at startup. A hardware library contains
definitions, protocol handlers and firmware for one or several hardware units.
From a user point of view, the hardware libraries are similar to POU libraries
(create, version handling, state, password protection, source code handling
etc.). User-defined hardware definitions (output from Device Import Wizard)
are also stored in hardware libraries. The hardware libraries are structured after
a group of hardware, for example S800CI840CI854HwLib, that contains S800
units that can be used together with a CI840 and a CI854. A complete list of
Hardware libraries delivered with the Control Builder can be found in Libraries
on page 15. An upgrade of a project from a previous version, containing third
party hardware definition files, automatically creates a new hardware library,
and all the hardware definition files are placed as objects in this library. The
3BSE033044D5011 33
Engineering Environment Section 4 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.0/0
user can then reorganize the hardware objects by creating own libraries and
move the objects to the new libraries.
The benefit with hardware libraries is that it is possible to have more than one
version of a hardware definition in a project.
Device Import Wizard – Improved GSD Tool

The Device Import Wizard replaces the old GSD Import Tool and is integrated in
Control Builder. The Wizard is launched from the Control Builder, by right-click a
hardware library that is open and select “Insert/Replace Hardware Type(s)…”. After
the conversion of the hardware definition files, the corresponding hardware objects
will be stored in the hardware library where the Device Import Wizard was
launched. The system has support for GSD version 5.0.
Device Import Wizard supports a change of the configuration at any time without
loss of existing configuration. This means that the user can, for example, add some
I/O modules or add/change diagnostics later on. With the GSD Import Tool always a
full import was necessary.
Single Application Download

It is now possible to select if you want to download all applications that are
connected to a controller or select the application(s) that is to be downloaded to the
controller. It is also possible to download a single application to a controller,
although compilation errors may exist in other applications connected to the
controller.
All applications must have been downloaded to, and executing in the controller,
before it is possible to use the single application download functionality. See
Single Application download to Controller on page 29
Init Restart Option for Application at Download

An “Init” restart mode is added to the warm and cold restart options at an
application download to a controller. This start mode forces all cold retained
variables to apply their initial values, even if saved cold retain values exist.
34 3BSE033044D5011
Section 4 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.0/0 Engineering Environment
Presentation of Date and Time for Cold Retain Values to be Downloaded

In the Application analysis information window it is now stated when the cold retain
values, that is to be used during the download was saved.
New Icons/Information in Control Builder

• Project object in Project Explorer
A project object is now placed in the “root” of the Project Explorer. The
Libraries, Applications and Controllers of the project are located below the
new project object.
• “S” on simulated hardware.
A “S” is shown on simulated hardware units in the Project Explorer.
New Menus in Project Explorer

• Possible to open session log from Control Builder
It is now possible to open the current session log for Control Builder from
Project Explorer, with the menu option: Tools > Session Log File.
3BSE033044D5011 35
Control and I/O
Task Handling
In this release, there are a number of improvements in the user interfaces, regarding
presentation of information from the tasks running in the Controller. Some new
functionality in the tasks has also been added, like default values of offset on the
tasks Normal and Slow when creating a new project. A system alarm is also
implemented, to give a warning when the task is close to get latency.
• Compiler warnings for non-optimal task settings
If task settings result in that two tasks are scheduled to start at the same time, a
warning is displayed during compilation.
Warning 9155 : Controller_1:HW Task Normal and Fast may
have colliding start times.
• Task Properties dialog
Figure 1. An Example of the Task Properties dialog in 4.1 and 5.0 respectively.
36 3BSE033044D5011
The layout in the Task Properties dialog has been modified and the following
information has been added since version 4.1.
Task values:
– Offset
Used
Actual
Max
– Latency alarm limit
– First scan execution time (ms)
System values:
– Total load (in the controller)
– Application stop time
3BSE033044D5011 37
• Task Overview window
Figure 2. An example of Task Overview window in version 4.1.
Figure 3. An example of Task Overview window in version 5.0.
38 3BSE033044D5011
The following information has been added in the Task Overview window since
version 4.1.
The accepted latency is presented in milliseconds. In version 4.1 it was in percent
(%).
– Max Interval Time
– Max Execution Time
– Offset
– Actual Offset
– Max Offset
– Accepted Latency
– Max Latency
– Latency Alarm Limit
– First Execution Time
• Default offset setting on tasks when creating new project
When you create a new Control Builder project in version 5.0, you will
automatically get a suggested offset on the Normal and Slow tasks. This new
functionality decreases the risk of getting latency in the tasks and will provide a
smoother execution in the controller.
• System alarm when close to latency in task
A system alarm will be generated when a task is approaching its maximum
latency limit (70% of accepted latency).
• Optimizing load balancing
If a controller was heavily loaded and load balancing was activated it could
take up to 30 seconds before a task with lower priority was scheduled to
execute. This is now changed to a few seconds.
Controller Settings dialog

When errors are reported, they are categorized according to their causes, and given a
severity. Based on the severity, the settings in the Controller Settings dialog can, for
instance, create an entry in the error log or stop the controller. This error reaction is
configurable in the dialog.
The Controller Settings dialog also has a setting that turns off task load balancing.
3BSE033044D5011 39
Warning if an Obsolete Hardware Revision is being Used

A warning is issued in case a controller is using a processor module with an obsolete
hardware revision.
An unit with an incompatible or not preferred version is indicated as follows:
– Warning indication in Project Explorer
– A status text in the hardware editor
– A system alarm
Dynamic Download of CEX Unit Support

Prior to version 5, the controller firmware included support for all CEX unit types
(communication protocols).
Starting from version 5, the base firmware does not support any CEX units from
start. Instead, the Control Builder downloads additional firmware components for
the actually used CEX units. These “protocol handlers” are fetched from within the
hardware libraries. This saves controller memory. Available memory, for user
application, depends of how many different types of CEX units that are used.
Handling of HWD Files during Download

With hardware libraries the download has been changed. It is not necessary to reset
the controller before downloading new/changed HWD files.
Online Replacement CI853

CI853 now supports online replacements.
However PPP running on CI853 does not support online replacement, but it is
possible to remove a CI853 unit with PPP online, if it becomes faulty. A
replacement of CI853 with PPP requires a controller restart.
40 3BSE033044D5011
COMLI Enhancements
The COMLI protocol is extended with support for:
• Addressing extra registers (message type < and =)
– “<“ Request high registers, Registers 0 to 65535 (decimal)
– “=” Transfer high registers, Registers 0 to 65535 (decimal)
• Clock synchronization of slaves (message type J)
– “J” Transfer date and time, time synchronization of COMLI slave.
ABB Panel 800 and ABB Process Panel

CI851 and CI854A (PROFIBUS) have support for ABB Panel 800 and ABB
Process Panel.
3BSE033044D5011 41

Satt ControlNet. CI865 has support for:
– 19” Rack I/O
– S200 I/0
– S200L I/O
– I/O 200C
S800 I/O Enhancements

• “Over/under” range support for all analog outputs
Analog outputs can now be set to below 0% and above 100% in an application.
The ranges are defined by the capability of each I/O module type.
It is also possible to set the OSP value, according to the limits implemented for
under/over range on the AO modules
• Support of under and overflow when using square root on AI845 on modulebus
The channels on AI845 have a new setting, 4..20mA sqrt, which should be used
when supervising underflow on square root values.
• Support for additional RTD sensors via AI830A (replacing AI830)
– U.S Laboratory
– U.S Industrial
– IEC751/ITS-90
– JIS C 1981
– JIS C 1997
• Changed default settings on DI830, DI831 and DI885
The default settings of “filter time” parameter is changed to 0 (before it was
100) for the I/O modules DI830, DI831 and DI885.
• Possible to measure voltage on AI845 connected to CI801
It is now possible to measure voltage on an AI845 running together with a
CI801, if the new parameter option "External Shunt" is selected as shunt mode
on the AI845 module.
42 3BSE033044D5011
• ABB Standard Drives

Channels Ref 1 and Ref 2 has been changed to signed integer and counts in both
directions.
Possible to Configure which MCU Alarm Bits to Treat as Alarms

It is now possibility to configure which INSUM MCU alarm bits to treat as alarms.
A new hardware unit, MCU A+, makes it possible to select alarm bits.
Status of Ethernet Ports on Backup CPU is Shown in Control Builder

Hardware Tree
An AC 800M configured with redundant CPUs now shows its Ethernet port status
for the Backup CPU in the hardware tree. A yellow icon is present in Control
Builder Project Explorer.
Compile Warning if Redundant Controller is Configured to Save Cold Retain

Values on Compact Flash Card
Saving cold retain values to the Compact Flash card is not permitted in a redundant
controller. A compile warning is given when the interval time for saving cold retain
values is anything but 0.
Warning 7002 : Controller_1:HW Settings : Save interval for
“ColdRetain”-values at CF Card will not affect redundant
controllers. : Row 1, Column 1
Code Sorting Loops in Control Modules Gives Compile Error

The default setting for “Loops in Control Modules” in the Compiler Switches dialog
is changed to Error (Warning in previous release).
3BSE033044D5011 43
Alarm and Event Section 4 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.0/0
Improved Log Handling

• Increased number of saved Log files (Bak Files) on hard drive
The number of *.log_bak files that are saved on the hard drive has been
increased from 2 to 9. This means that the ten most recent session log files are
kept.
• Two controller logs from redundant controllers
There is now one log for each CPU in a redundant controller, thus making it
possible to view hardware revisions etc. from both CPUs without having to
make a switch-over.
Alarm and Event
SystemAlarmCond – New Function Block Type in AlarmEventLib

With the new function block type SystemAlarmCond it is possible to define system
alarms from application code.
New Parameters in the Function Block Types PrintAlarms and PrintEvents

Instead of sending alarms/events to a local printer, it is now possible to redirect the
alarm/events to the application.
The PrintEvents and PrintAlarms function blocks contain two parameters used for
this purpose.
New parameters in the PrintEvents function block are EventItem and
EventItemText.
New parameters in the PrintAlarms function block are AlarmItem and
AlarmItemText.
Remote Time stamp in AlarmCond(M)

The AlarmCond function block type and the AlarmCondM control module type in
AlarmEventLib have a new parameter named TransitionTime. With this parameter it
is possible to use a remote time instead of the system time for alarms. This
44 3BSE033044D5011
functionality has been available in the function block type SimpleEventDetector in

previous releases.
Harmonized System Alarm & Event Generation

System Alarms and Events from AC 800M controllers are now harmonized with
respect to chosen severity, if an event or alarms is generated. The I/O related
protocols that are harmonized are S800 I/O, CI854, CI855, and CI856.
Hardware Alarm has an Comprehensible description

The description of system alarms was earlier in hex code format. Now the alarm
presentation is in text format. The description is the same as in Control Builder.
The extended and device-specific status bits are not translated in the event text.
Standard Libraries
Added Behavior in Library Objects

– Bumpless start up of loops when using OSP values
– The objects have a new EnableParError parameter, that by default disables
the ParError calculation in non-SIL applications. Enabling of ParError
calculation increases the execution time of the object.

Improvements in Existing Library Objects

• SystemDiagnostics
In the interaction window for the Ethernet communication information, in the
SystemDiagnostics function block, the time is now displayed when the last
reset of the counters occurred.
The default initial value of the parameters “Memory quota” and “Memory
quota at download”, in the SystemDiagnostics function block, have been
changed from 50% to 90%.
• Local mode possibilities in AnalogOutCC, SignalOutRealM and
SignalSimpleOutRealM
To be able to locally control, for example a control valve the control loop needs
to be updated with the locally changed value, to obtain bumpless transfer. A CC
input for this purpose is needed to backtrack the control loop, during the local
mode phase. The real output objects AnalogOutCC, SignalSimpleOutRealM
and SignalOutRealM now have been extended with the CC input
“Feedbackpos” to be able to backtrack actuator values to a control loop.
• Voting Logic Enhanced
The voting logic has been improved. The number of sending and receiving
objects has been increased. Examples of objects that have been extended with
voting logic are PidCC, ManualAutoCC, SelectorCC and Selector4CC.

OPC Server for AC 800M Section 4 Functionality Changes Version 5.0.0/0
OPC Server for AC 800M
Alarms in the OPC Server Kept at Communication Error

Non-idle alarms in the OPC server remains, even if there is a communication error
to a controller.
Discontinued and Replaced Functions and Units

OPC Transfer of Domain Files via MMS no Longer Supported
In order to connect to a specific AC 800M, the OPC Server needs access to some
files (called domain files) describing the content of the AC 800M. These files are
created by the Control Builder and are automatically fetched by the OPC Server
when needed. The preferred solution is to set up a shared Project folder. If previous
versions of the OPC Server could not find the needed files on the shared folder, it
tried to fetch the files via MMS from the Control Builder that made the last
download. This functionality is no longer supported.
Downloading via PPP Makes it Impossible to read Compact Flash

It is no longer possible to generate a Compact Flash image, in case the project is
downloaded to the controller via PPP (serial link).
OPC Server and MMS Server cannot be Launched from System Tray
For security reason, the Services cannot interact with the Windows system tray
(Notification area).
OPC Server and MMS Server can still be started from the Start menu. After a
Service has been started from the Start menu and then been minimized, it is possible
to launch it from the system tray.

Section 5 Compatibility Supported Versions
Section 5 Compatibility
This release of Compact Control Builder AC 800M (Version 5.0.1/1) is

compatible with the previous versions 5.0.x/x, 4.1.0/x, 4.0.0/0 and 3.2/7 (or later)
Some Hardware Modules may have to be exchanged to new hardware revisions.
See Compatible Hardware Modules on page 55, for further information.
Listed Hardware Modules must be of stated version/revision or higher.
Control Builder and OPC Server must be upgraded to the new version in order to
work together.
When upgrading, consideration should be given to memoryusage in the

controller. The firmware size has grown, resulting in less free memory, compared
to previous versions (3.x and 4.x), for user applications. The reduction primarily
concerns processor modules with small amounts of free memory (PM851,
PM856, and PM860) and to controllers including several types of CEX-modules.
Please see section 3 in Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Product Guide
(3BSE041586Rxxx) for information on memory requirements.
Some firmware functions have changed behaviour in this version. See Firmware
Functions Changing Constants and Literals on page 81 and Too many parameters
were allowed in the Min, Max and Mux functions on page 99.
Controller peer to peer communication is possible with other controllers running
version 2.x/x, 3.x/x, 4.x.x/x or 5.x.x/x by means of Access Variables.
See Appendix C Upgrade in the manual Compact Control Builder AC 800M,

Change of CI854 Web Server Password This problem has been corrected in the AC 800M
Failed firmware.
There was a problem when attempting to
empty the CI854 Web server password.
When the 'New password' and 'Confirm new
password' were empty, there was an alert
that the password was illegal.
Despite this warning, the password was
changed. After the Web page was reloaded,
log-in was neither possible with an empty
password nor with the old one.
The controller had to be powered down, in
order to reset the password.

set by the Control Builder to the correct time
(i.e. 2007). The slave started to synch with
the master. For a short while the year 1997
was in the slave. The initial difference
between the master and the slave was 5
years (2007-2002) and this was also the
difference between 2002 and 1997. At the
next synch occasion, the time was set back
to 2002, i.e. the correct time.

compliance to the COMLI specification. Product Bulletin: 3BSE047421D0002
The AC 800M always sent stamp 0, which is
not correct. It should start at 0 but thereafter
alter between 1 and 2. The slave is using
the stamp to recognize new telegrams; in
order to avoid processing already received
telegrams in case of re-transmitted
telegrams.
This problem was not visible in the case
where both the master and slave were AC
800Ms at version 5.0.0/0, but in any other
combination the communication would be
frequently interrupted.
Another (not visible) result was that a slave
working in compliance with the specification
would not be able to determine if a write
request was a retransmission or not - the
slave would always process the write
request even if it was a retransmission.

COMLI message type 3 (Transfer the status Product Bulletin: 3BSE047421D0002
of individual I/O-bits) did not work in
compliance to the COMLI specification.
The AC 800M assumed type 3 messages to
be binary encoded. But the specification
states that it should be encoded as ASCII.
This problem was not visible in case both
the master and slave were AC 800Ms at
version 5.0.0/0 (as both assumed the data
to be encoded in the same format), but in
any other combination sometimes wrong
data would be sent to the slave. An
AC 800M slave would for example in this
case see all type 3 messages as a request
to write True into an variable (regardless if
the message contained False or True).

Controller Stop due to Compact Flash This problem has been corrected in the AC 800M
Card firmware.
Usage of a Backup media in the AC 800M Product Bulletin: 3BSE047421D0005
could cause the controller to stop executing
after some time. This happened due to a
memory leak in the Compact Flash card
status handling.
The memory leak occured when a Compact
Flash (CF) card was inserted in the card
slot located at the front of the AC 800M
controller AND a CF Card was configured
below the CF Reader in the controller
configuration. The memory leak would
inevitably cause the controller to stop
execute.
The memory leak was constant and about
1 MB / 24 hours.

Introduction and If the System Baseline2 libraries
Configuration are inserted in the Control Builder
some library objects will have red
triangles.
Do not use any SB2 libraries in
your projects! They are only
delivered to support upgrade of
800xACON-CN-5000-005
SB2 systems.

Introduction and Information icon
Configuration
If a controller is configured with
redundant CEX units is it not
possible to create an image for a
Compact Flash card if the project
hasn't been downloaded to the
controller and the Control Builder
hasn't been closed since that
download. The project must have
been downloaded to a PM861A or
PM864A controller if the controller
in the configuration is a PM861 or
800xACON-MC-5000-013 PM864.

Communication, n/a Maximum limits of the data can
Protocols and Design be transferred on a Modbus TCP
Read/Write function block call.
The maximum limits of the data to
be transferred via Modbus TCP
depend on the data type and the
operation type as described below.
Limit bool:
MBTCP Read 2000
MBTCP Write 1967
Limit Dint/uint/int:
MBTCP Read 125
MBTCP Write 123

Communication, Protocols n/a Maximum limits of the data can
and Design(cont.) be transferred on a Modbus TCP
(cont.)
MBTCPReadFileRecord: A
maximum number of data that can
be transferred is 124. If the data
length requested is larger than this,
the error (-7007) is active.
MBTCPWriteFileRecord : A
maximum number of records that
can be transferred on one function
block call should not exceed
maximum Modbus telegram size of
253 bytes. This gives a maximum
of 122 records . If the data length
is larger than this, the error (-7007)
is active.
MBTCPWriteFileRecord and
MBTCPReadFileRecord do not
support Bool.
Limit Dint/uint/int:

Communication, Protocols n/a Maximum limits of the data can
and Design (cont.) be transferred on a Modbus TCP
(cont.)
Since the read/write multiple
parameters of the function blocks
accept connections from/to
variables with structured data type,
it is very important to build the
variables in the correct set,
especially for the structured bool
data type. The client
communication framework in the
controller has limitation of 844
components of the structured data
configured in each multiple
parameter. Exceeding this limit, the
communication will return error
code -6824
cGCHardLimitExceeded. In other
words, to achieve Modbus TCP
communication to transfer a
variable data with structured data
type of 2000 bool components is
not acceptable. As workaround,
the variable data should be
constructed as a structured data
type of 4 structured data types of
800xACON-MC-5000-012 500 bool components.

modules
In the control modules
MMSRead128BoolM,
MMSRead64BoolM,
MMSRead16BoolM,
MMSRead2DwordM,
MMSRead2DintM and
MMSRead2RealM, three new
parameters have been added:(see

138 3BSE033044D5011

and Design (cont.) MMS Peer-to-Peer control
modules (cont.)
1. UseOLUTimeout (IN): This
parameter is set to true in order to
enable special handling of the
timeout time in the client in case of
OLU on the server. Default value is
false. When set to false, the control
modules work the same way as
before this change.
2. OLUTimeout (IN): When

UseOLUTimeout is set to true, the
value of this parameter will be used
instead of the Timeout parameter,
when the client detects that the
server has an OLU switch in
progress. Default value is 10 sec,
and the value should always be in
the interval Timeout<x<60 sec,
where x is the OLUTimeout.
It is recommended to set the value
of the parameter OLUTimeout to at
least 10s+”Online Upgrade

3. OLUStatus (OUT): This value
shows the status regarding OLU
that is received from the server.
Possible values are:
0: Value shown when
UseOLUTimeout is false or if no
status value is received from
server.
1: No OLU: Initial value when
UseOLUTimeout is true.
2: OLU started. Indicating that an
OLU session has started on the
server.
3: OLU switch in progress.

Communication, Protocols n/a COMLI Clock Synchronization of
and Design Slaves (message type J)
In order to get COMLI
communication to work with
message type J (synchronization
of slaves), the CPU parameter "CS
Protocol Type" must be set to
800xACON-MC-5000-010
"MMS".

Section 7 Known Problems Controller

AC 800M Controller n/a CPU Battery Low Indication
Hardware, Hardware and
Operation When the battery is in, or near, a
discharged condition, any power
failure will lead to a controller reset
(application is lost).
The battery might, however
recover significantly after some
time in unloaded condition, which
means that the B-LED at the CPU
front might return to lit condition.
This could cause the necessary
renewal to be overlooked.
1. Regular and frequent
preventive renewal of the
batteries according to ABB
recommendations.
2. If a controller reset already has
occurred, due to battery low,
then urge on renewal in all
controllers possibly concerned.
3. Also consider the new external
rechargeable battery
800xACON-OL-4100-007 alternative SB822.
