Page 61 ASCII Protocol Single Drop Single Drop protocol extends the functionality of the QUICKPANEL family by allowing a host device access to the target display memory. Single Drop is an ASCII communication protocol that allows panel triggering, reading and writing variables, and setting the time and date. A host device can be a computer, embedded controller, ASCII Module, BASIC Module, or any device capable of sending and receiving ASCII character strings.

Many settings are options and are not required to establish communications. Verify the Project name and Display Device Model are correct. Leave the Initial Screen name blank. Project Setup Project Notes Project name:...
Page 63 Internal Tags The ASCII protocol requires using internal tag variables. You must create a contiguous block of internal tag variables using the name DMxxxx, where xxxx is a four digit count from 0001 to 9999. These tag variables are assigned to the various operators used on the panels. For example, a pilot light tag variable name might be DM0002.
Page 64 The first part of the BASIC statement is CHR$(20). The ASCII character 20 is equivalent to a CONTROL-T. The next section of code is the character 8, which is the panel ID number. The last section of the code string is CHR$(13). The ASCII character 13 is equivalent to a CARRIAGE RETURN.
Page 65 If you typed the command string from an ASCII terminal, this is the response from the target display. Note the zero value between the value 43 and 24. ⇑12,43,,24. The following example is a BASIC statement that will read 4 variables, beginning with variable ID 1. PRINT#1,CHR$(18);1;",";4;CHR$(13) The first part of the BASIC statement is CHR$(18).
Page 66 Writing Text Characters The Text Display operator is used to display text characters or messages. The tag variable selected for the Text Display operator MUST be changed to a STRING type. Set the SIZE to the number of characters for the Text Display buffer. If you want to display 20 characters, set SIZE to 20.

Page 71 Example: ^R2,1^M (Level 1, F2) Explanation: Read 1 Tag starting with tag 2. Tag 2 is DM0002, which is assigned to the Word Button. The initial reading of the Word Button should be 0. Data returned from the display: ^R0^M Note: Press the Word button on the display and watch the Data Display assigned to the Word Button increment by 5.
Page 72 Example: ^V5,0^M (Level 1, F8) Results: Setting Tag 5 to a value of 0 will cause the Numeric Display to show 0. Example: ^V7,TOTAL^M (Level 2, F3) Explanation: Write to Tag 7 the text characters "TOTAL." Tag 7 is DM0007, which is assigned to a Text Display.
Page 73 Reading and Writing Multiple Tags You can save communication time by sending a command to read/write more than one tag. The format for a read command looks like this: Format: (^R)(Variable ID number)(,) (Count) (^M) The 'Count' portion of the protocol can be set to allow reading multiple tags. There are some restrictions for writing.

Page 95 ASCII Flex Protocol The ASCII Flex Protocol is designed to allow intelligent controllers to communicate with Quick Panels. In the world of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), the protocol is nearly invisible to the user. For example, when a pilot light is placed on a panel, a variable is assigned to it. The variable is the name of a register in the PLC.
Page 96 If on the other hand, you select Flex as your protocol and then immediately go into the Flex dialogs and create Sequences and tags, you will really be sad when nothing works. It looks like Edit/New sequence dialogs stop you from creating tags at this point. However, you will have no idea why the tags you are entering aren't being accepted.
Page 97 The Push Button is a Momentary button with the tag variable assigned to RL1. One Numeric Data Display is assigned to RL2 and the other to RL3. A Text display was assigned to RA1 for Invalid Messages and another Text display was assigned to RA2 for Error Messages. The registers for Invalid Messages and Error Messages are entered in Setup.
Page 98 Edit Sequence The Edit Sequences dialog box shows a list of all Solicited and Unsolicited sequences. Click on any sequence to Edit or Delete it. Click the New button to create the sequences for the demo. The first sequence is Data Display. Note that this sequence has a Send and Receive command.
Page 99 The last sequence is another Data Display. Note that the Command Type starts with a Receive and ends with a Send command. The register RL3 will not be updated automatically but will change when the terminal sends a Command String in the format specified by the Receive Command String. If the received command string is valid, the Send command sends out a Command String.
Page 100 The next association is for RL1, which is assigned to the Push Button. RL1 is associated with the sequence Push Button #1 for a Button Press. When the push button is pressed, the sequence defined by Push Button #1 is executed. The sequence sends out a command string. Note: It is recommended that you use the Register Long (RLxxxx) register with a Momentary Push Button.
Page 101 Hardware Connection There are two methods used to connect a QuickPanel display to an intelligent controller or terminal. Go to Project Setup and click the Port button. The choices for Handshake are None and Xon/off. Use the Hardware Handshake cable with the None option when the Controller or PLC uses the hardware handshaking lines to control the communications.
Page 102 The Function keys were setup to send specific command strings. The setup is shown below. Pressing the F1 key will send the string "Rec Data 123 ^M." The format must be "Rec Data " because this was specified for the Data Display sequence. The number following the "Rec Data " string will become the data stored in RL2.
Page 103 Global Parameters The following parameter are global which can be set in the Setup. Does Controller Echo Commands Does Controller Echo Commands is a character data entry field which will except a Y or N character. Some terminal protocols echo the characters being sent to the controller back to the Quick Panel. Set the option to Y if the controller sends an echo and N if it does not send an echo.
Page 104 Error Message Destination Error Message Destination from figure 1 is a data entry field which will only take a DM register as valid data. This DM register will be setup up as a text field. Internal Error Messages will be placed in the DM register.
Page 105: Byte
Edit Sequences The Edit Sequences dialog box will list all the Solicited and Unsolicited sequences. You can create a new sequence, edit existing sequences or delete a sequence. New Sequence This dialog box allows creating new sequences. (This is the same dialog box for editing sequences). Sequence Name This is a unique name used to identify the sequence.
Page 106 Send Command The main purpose of a Send Command is transmit commands to a controller. A Send Command can contain the following components: String Literals, Embedded Register Fields, and Byte Literals. For example: {RF22 \*Prec 5}\13\10 is a command string. String Literal: Elements of a string command that is not an embedded register or a Byte Literal.
Page 107 Associate Registers The Associate Sequences dialog box is used to associate sequences with registers. Poll The Poll table will enable the user to associate the Sequence Names with Rx registers. The result of this association will enable the operating system to execute a Sequence when a read of a particular register is done.
Page 108 These are limited only by the amount of memory available. Later in this document I will provide a Formula for calculating the amount of memory used. Memory Used Status Bar This indicator is shown on 3 of the Flex dialogs. It represents the percentage of memory used by the project.

Page 113 Explanation: (Compiler Error ) The length was not equal to 4. Error #: 02:9B Error Msg ERROR 02:9B No digit or . found for the Rx Float in a Receive command Explanation: A Receive Command was being executed, it was expecting numeric data or a ‘.’ from the controller but data was not numeric.
Page 114 Error #: 02:A5 Error Msg ERROR 02:A5 There was more then 10k words to allocate for the Rx table Explanation: The Quick Panel can only dynamically allocate 10 thousand WORDs or 20 thousands bytes for the Rx table. To many local registers have been created. Error #: 02:A6 Error Msg ERROR 02:A6 The packet received was to large Explanation: A packet was received which was larger then the Receive Buffer.
Page 115 Error #: 02:AE Error Msg ERROR 02:AE Could not transmit because all of the echoes were not received Explanation: The driver when in echo mode is suppose to echo all the characters it receives. If the driver wants to transmit a string and it did not receives all the characters echoed from an earlier sent command it will wait the time-out period for the echo of all the characters.

Page 154 Profibus The most important advantages of PROFIBUS in comparison with other fieldbuses are the stable international standard EN 50 170 and the universal features covering a wide range of applications in manufacturing, process and building automation. Open and vendor independent communication with PROFIBUS is not just a vision.
Page 155 Configure I/O Click the Configure I/O button to display the following dialog box. Inputs Enter the number of Input words up to a maximum of 100 words (200 bytes). The Start Address is normally set to 0. You can change the Start Address to create an offset address. Different devices can reference the same Profibus address but may require an offset for one of the devices.
Page 156 Double Word Storage Format This option allows selecting the way words are arranged into double words. Selecting MSW-LSW will arrange words from the MSW (Most Significant Word) to the LSW (Least Significant Word). Selecting LSW-MSW will arrange words from the LSW (Least Significant Word) to the MSW (Most Significant Word).
Page 157 The number of Input and Output words selected will determine the valid address range limits for each variable type. The variable type names are fixed and are displayed in a cell corresponding to the addressing type. For example, in the following dialog box, the number of Input Words is set to 64. The variable name for Input Words is IW and the range for 64 words is IW0 to IW63.
Page 158 A byte is 8 bits, therefore the addressing method is to use a period as the bit delimiter in the addressing format. For example, I0.0 is bit 0 of Word 0, and I0.7 is bit 7 of Word 0. Profibus DP Protocol Dialog Box The number of Input and Output words and the addressing will determine the valid address range limits for each variable type.
Page 159 The Device Data Base Files provide a clear and comprehensive description of the characteristics of a device type in a precisely defined format. The GSD files are prepared individually by the vendor for each type of device and made available to the user in the form of a device data base sheet and a device data base file.
Page 160 Cables The PROFIBUS standard defines two variations of the bus cable for PROFIBUS - FMS and PROFIBUS - DP. Type A is especially recommended for high transmission speeds ( > 500 kBaud) and permits doubling of the network distance in comparison to Type B. Type B should only be used at low baud rates and low requirements on the network distances.
Page 161 Connectors Cable assemblies, cable and connectors can be obtained from several manufacturers. Make sure that you always connect the same wires to the same terminal A or B (for example, always connect green wire to terminal A and the red wire to terminal B). A typical connector/cable assembly is shown below. Ferrite Cores Attach the ferrite cores to the data cables leading to the Profibus module.

Page 219 Baud Rate All devices on a bus must use the same baud rate: 153.6 Kbaud standard, 153.6 Kbaud extended, 76.8 Kbaud, or 38.4 Kbaud. Selection of a baud rate depends on the application, as explained in the Genius 1/0 System User's Manual. Usually, the bus length determines the baud rate. The entry made here establishes the baud rate for the GBC only.
Page 220 Device Type (QuickPanel) Each device is associated with a device type. The device type selection can be tabbed through. Default: GENERIC For a device to receive global data, configure it as GENERIC and specify memory type and length for the incoming data. Up to 128 bytes can be configured for the total of Input1 Length. Discrete(%I) data will automatically be adjusted to multiples of 8 for byte alignment.
Page 221 Troubleshooting If your project uses global I/O only and you have created a tag (PLC variable name) that is outside the global range, and datagrams are turned off , then during the compile function an error file ~GENIERR.TXT is created. This file is located in the C:\QUICK2\PCO directory. This file will list the PLC variables that are outside the global range.

Page 240 Interbus-S INTERBUS Network Description INTERBUS is an open systems approach to a high performance, ring-based, distributed device network for manufacturing and process control. INTERBUS is a high-efficiency protocol designed for today's high-speed control requirements. An INTERBUS system consists of a controller board installed into a computer (PC, VME, etc.) or PLC that communicates to a variety of I/O devices.
Page 241 Setup The drawing shows the setup dialog box for Interbus-S Protocol. Click the Configure I/O button to select the number of Input and Output words. Configure I/O Click the Configure I/O button to display the following dialog box. Inputs Enter the number of Input words up to a maximum of 240 words (480 bytes). The Start Address is normally set to 0.
Page 242 Outputs Enter the number of Output words up to a maximum of 100 words (200 bytes). The Start Address is normally set to 0. You can change the Start Address to create an offset address. Different devices can reference the same Interbus-S address but may require an offset for one of the devices. Changing the Start Address will change the address ranges shown in the Interbus-S DP Protocol dialog box.
Page 243 Example 1: In this configuration example, Input Words are set to 240, Output Words are set to 240 and Addressing is set to Word Boundaries. When the OK button is clicked, the following Interbus-S DP Protocol dialog box will appear. The valid address ranges are shown for all types of variables.

When the OK button is clicked, the following Interbus-S DP Protocol dialog box will appear. The valid address ranges are shown for all types of variables.
Page 245 Interbus-S DP Protocol Dialog Box The number of Input and Output words and the addressing will determine the valid address range limits for each variable type. The variable type names are fixed and are displayed in a cell corresponding to the addressing type.
Page 246 Cables Cable assemblies, cable and connectors can be obtained from several manufacturers. To avoid intermittent communications on the network, always connect DO and /DO via the same twisted pair. Likewise, always connect DI and /DI via the same twisted pair. In addition, always connect both ends of the cable shielding to their prespective connector housings or shield connection.
