Lab 1: CompactLogix-to-PV800 Communications

With the release of CCW version 9 and PV800 firmware version 3.011, a PanelView 800 can be configured as an
operator interface for an L1 CompactLogix controller. Lets see how it works.

Pre-Lab: Making Network Connections

We will once again leverage the DHCP Persistence feature of the Stratix 5700 switch in this lab. The PV800 is
connected to port Fa1/4 of the Stratix 5700 switch in your lab station. This port is configured to serve up an IP
address of 172.16.1xx.7 where xx is the station number (01-10). The CompactLogix controllers Ethernet ports must
also be configured to be on the same network subnet. Using the long green cable at your station (one of the cables
used to connect the devices in the DLR network from the previous lab), connect the L18 controller directly to port
Fa1/5 on the Stratix 5700 switch at your station. This port has been configured to serve up IP address of
172.16.1xx.8. Please disconnect all other green cables from the devices connected to the DLR network. This may
result in the EIP Mod led on the Stratix 5700 switch to blink red but that state should not have a negative impact on
this lab.

IMPORTANT
To ensure that the CompactLogix L18 controller gets the correct IP address from the Stratix 5700 switch, please
power cycle the L18 controller but temporarily removing the power connector from the front of the controller. Reinsert
the connector after the red OK led turns off.

Remove the L18

Power Connector
Here.

Testing the Project with the PV800 terminal and the L18 controller.

The Timer in the AOI in the Logix controller may be started by pressing the Start Timer button on the HMI
display. To set a new preset value for the timer, press the gray box labeled Set Timer Preset, then enter a value
of 1 - 20 followed by the Enter key. This will determine the number of seconds the timer will run before being
done. There is a default value of 10 seconds.
At any time, the Stop/Reset button may be pressed. The Start button will need to be pressed again to restart the
timer. Note that the accumulate value of the time will be reset to 0 when the Stop/Reset button may is pressed.
This value may be viewed in the blue box, Timer Accumulated Value.
When the timer is done, a round indicator will show up on the display in blue with a flashing text, Timer Done.
Also, go back to the Logix Designer and see how pressing the buttons on the display affects the project.

You have completed this lab.

Lab 2: Using Socket Programming in Micro850

In this section, you will import a project Socket_Example_Programs_r9.ccwarc for your lab session. An application
EWEB Sockets Test will be used to simulate the Server and Client, which is the communication between the
Micro850 and computer.
Before we start, lets examine the connection flow of the TCP Server/Client and the instruction and UDFB to be used
in the program.

In the diagram, the blue boxes represent the TCP connection flow between the Server and the Client; and the yellow
boxes represent the native instruction in Micro800, and the green boxes will represent the UDFB data.
In the TCP_Server program, the flow of the program will be as followed:

The Server will create a socket instance, and wait for a client to send a
request to get connected (OPEN SOCKET)

When the server received the request, the server ACCEPT the
connection, the data exchange will be able to start.

Data Exchange (WRITE/READ)

To terminate the connection (CLOSE SOCKET).

12 of 26
In the TCP_Client Program, the flow of the program will be as followed:

The client will create a socket instance.

After the socket instance is created, client send a request to the Server to
get connected. (OPEN SOCKET), and wait for the connection to be
establish.

Data Exchange (WRITE/READ)

To terminate the connection (CLOSE SOCKET).

To monitor the status of the socket, the native instruction used is SOCKET_INFO, the UDFB
RA_TCP_SOCKET_OTHERINFO provides more information, and the RA_TCP_ERROR_DESC will provide the
description error occurred.
In the lab, we will be using the EWEB Sockets Test Application, which can act as a Server or Client.

13 of 26
Import the Micro850 Socket Project

In this section, we will be using the Micro850, 2080-LC50-24QBB FRN 9.011(or later.)

13. At the Spy List, you can monitor the two variables added.

14. As the Micro850 Server is waiting for a client connection, at the EWEB Socket Test, click on TCP Client.

15. On the Variable Monitor, the RA_TCP_SOCKET_INFO_1.TCPState variable has changed from Listen to
Established. Now the Client can send data to Micro 850.

16. Enter 1234567890 at the Data to Send field, and click on Send.

19 of 26
17. The Micro850 program is in Run mode, so the data received will be sent out to the Client. Therefore the EWEB
Sockets Test Application received the same data.

The reading of data and writing of data is done using the SOCKET_READ and SOCKET_WRITE.

18. Next, click on Close at the EWEB Sockets Test Application to close the connection.

19. Turn off the ServerEnable bit.

20. On the falling edge of the ServerEnable bit, the SOCKET_CLOSE instruction closes the connection.

21. You have completed the TCP Server Lab. (Stay Connected, with the EWEB Socket Test Application running.)

Using Micro850 as TCP Client

With reference to the connection flow shown on Page 24, we need to identify the following to create a Socket
instance to connect to a Server.

The TCP Port used for the socket connection in the Server. In the TCP_Client program, the variable
DestTCPPort is used to define the Servers TCP Port.

The port is defined as followed in EWEB Sockets Test Application.

The IP Address of the Server. (Example: The PC address is 192.168.1.254)

NOTE: Please refer to the Ethernet Station Chart at your lab station for IP Address assignments
for your station.

1. Double click on the TCP_ClientLocal Variables in the Project Organizer.

3. At the EWEB Socket Test Application, click on TCP Server. (Now the application is acting as a Server.)

4. The Event Log of EWEB Socket Test Application will show that the Listen Connection Started.

5. At the first line of TCP_Client program, right-click on the ClientEnable bit.

6. Select Variable Monitoring, and check box the Logical Value of the ClientEnable Bit.

22 of 26
7. As soon as the connection is accepted, the data Hello World! will be sent to the Server.

8. You can modify the string at the WriteString[1], which will change the initial message to the server.
9. Now enter the 0123456789 at the Data to Send field of the Server,

The client immediately sends out the data as per received.

10. Uncheck the ClientEnable to close the client connection to the server.

You have completed the TCP Client Lab.

Getting Familiarize to use the Socket Program.

This session uses two Micro850 controller, one as a Server, the other as a Client.
Requirement for the lab:
1. Reused the TCP Server and TCP Client program.
2. Instead of sending Hello World! from the Client. Send This is a Socket Programming lab
3. Server replied HOTT 2016 Micro850.
4. Client close the connection.
