1. About this document

This document provides information for connecting a Courier analyzer system to
a third party automation system. Courier analyzer can be connected to any
automation system using either Modbus/TCP or Modbus/RTU protocol.
This document describes the register maps available in Courier slurry

applications for 18 sample lines.
All bit descriptions for the status bytes are given in the Description of Courier
state variables document.
Note, Tip, and Warning signs used in this document:
This sign stands for information especially worth noticing.
f This sign stands for information including extra advice.
a This sign stands for information of extreme importance.

2. The overall register map

In the following register maps, all register references are given in the
reference format, for example 4:00001.
In the following sections, the letters R and W in the heading indicate,

whether the automation system reads from (R) or writes to (W) the
registers presented there.
Table 1. Overall register map of analyzer data

Register Type Description
reference
4:00001 - 4:00005 W Sample measurement control commands
4:00009 - 4:00010 W User operated state variables (device group 18)
4:00101 - 4:00200 W Input for measurement variable values
4:01201 - 4:02100 R User definable analyzer data
3. User definable analyzer data

Users have 450 different variable definitions available for register area 4:01201
- 4:02100. Each definition has a variable definition and scaling limits. The
variable definition can represent a real numerical value or discrete data
representing analyzer status bytes (groups of 8 state variables).
The first row in the data definition parameters shows the register address, and
the assigned variable identification. The second row is used for variable
identification input. The third row is for scaling low limit and the fourth row for
scaling high limit value.
If the identification represents a numerical value, and the scaling limit fields are
empty, or the lower limit is greater than or equal to the higher limit value, the
value is stored to the registers in floating point format, which occupies two
consecutive registers in the register area.
If the definition represents status bytes (groups of 8 state variables), they are
stored so that the first byte definition occupies the destination register high byte
(register bits 08-15) and the second definition the low byte (register bits 00-07).
Scaling limits are not applicable. At least the high byte definition must be given.
Full list of available status bytes, and state bits is given in document Description
of Courier State Variables. If the status byte is not available, the byte is filled
with the corresponding byte of the parameter ‘Invalid state byte value’.
The example below is a part of the factory default values for the data definition
parameters.
Register 4:01280 contains

– state variable byte B4/1/2 in the high byte
– state variable byte B4/1/1 in the low byte
Registers 4:01281 and 4:01282 contain current value of
the analysis variable 1 of the sample line 1 in floating-point format
Registers 4:01283 and 4:01284 contain current value of
the analysis variable 2 of the sample line 1 in floating-point format
1280:B4/1/2, B4/1/1 1281:S1A1 1283:S1A2

B4/1/2, B4/1/1 S1A1 S1A2
3.1 Analyzer state values (R)

The automation system can read any of the analyzer status data defined in the
document Description of Courier 6SL state variables document.
The state values are defined as two state variable bytes: Bg1/d1/n1, Bg2/d2/n2.
The first value goes to register high byte and the second to register low byte.
The correspondence between the status bytes and register bits is show in the
following table:
Table 2. Status byte in registers
Bit # Meaning
00 Bit 1 of Bg2/d2/n2
3.2 Analyzer numerical values (R)

The following numerical data from the analyzer can be made available to the
automation system:
SmAn Analysis value n of process sample m
SmPn Parameter variable value n of process sample m.
SmFR Process sample m primary flow rate.
Gn Global parameter variable n value.
Mn Measurement variable n last calculated value.
MnMIN Measurement variable n statistics minimum value.

MnMAX Measurement variable n statistics maximum value.
MnAVG Measurement variable n statistics average value.
MnSLEN Measurement variable n statistics level length in seconds.
Jn Manual numeric variable n value.
JnSOURCE Source of value of manual numeric variable n:

0 = System (at initialization),
1 = PCS Display,
2 = Analyzer Management Station.
The values can be given as floating-point numbers or scaled integers.
It is recommended to use floating-point numbers.
Floating-point format
In floating-point format, the data are saved in two consecutive registers. Only
the 1.st register is shown in the register area definition parameters for each data
definition.
If the numerical value is invalid, the respective registers are set to invalid
floating-point value. This value can be given as a parameter of the analyzer.
Factory default setting is –9999.
Scaled integer format
For scaled integers, the factory set range is 0 - 32000. The pre-set high limit
can be set to match the requirements of the automation system. The maximum
value is 215-1 = 32767.
The scaling range can be given separately for each value as a parameter of the
analyzer.
If the value of a numerical value is invalid, the corresponding register is set to a

invalid integer value. This value can be given as a parameter of the analyzer.
Factory default value is 32768.
If your automation system requires using scaled integers, make sure that
the scaling is done exactly the same way both in the analyzer system and
in the automation system.
3.3 Factory default settings

The used area factory default settings for these register references are shown
in Table 3.
Table 3. Factory default register map for analyzer data
Register Nbr of Description
reference registers
4:01262 1 Status of process sample 18 (B5/18/2, B5/18/1)
… …
4:01280 1 Status of the analyzer (B4/1/2, B4/1/1)
4:01281 2 Value of the analysis variable 1 for sample line 1 (S1A1)
… …
… …
The factory setting is done for 18 sample lines and twelve analyses. If there are
fewer sample lines or analyses in your system, the value saved in the extra
register references is set to the value of parameter ‘Invalid flp-value’.
If a register contains no data definition, the contents are set to the value of
parameter ‘Value for not used registers’.
Over the register reference range, you can set the individual numerical values in
any order. This makes it possible to set the references to correspond the
definitions in the automation system. It also is easy to change the settings when
new sample lines are added or other modifications are made either to the
Courier analyzer or the automation system.

01 4/1/2 Analyzer status is normal
02 4/1/3 Analyzer status is warning
03 4/1/4 Analyzer status is alarm
04 4/1/5 PCS maintenance switch on
If analyzer is not started, the other bit values cannot be interpreted.

05 5/n/6 Sample composite sampling not executable
06 5/n/7 Sample not measurable
07 5/n/8 Sample X-Ray measurement active
08 5/n/9 Sample measurement results not OK
09 5/n/10 Sample analysis values not OK
If sample is not in use, the other bit values cannot be interpreted. In the
parameters the sample status register contents is defined as B5/n/2, B5/n/1.
4. Sample measurement control commands (W)

To control the sample measurements, the automation system can remotely
write the commands to the dedicated Modbus registers. The register range and
commands are shown in Table 6.
For each sample measurement control command, there is a command bit in the
Modbus register:
measurement request (MEAS RQST)
cancel measurement request (MEAS CAN)
bypass mode on (BPASS ON)
bypass mode off (BPASS OFF)
Each group of four bits represents one sample. To give a command, the
automation system changes the state of the respective bit from 0 to 1. In order
for the command to be effective, the bit state must remain as 1 for at least 30
seconds. Thereafter the command bit state must be 0 for at least 30 seconds
before the same remote command can be given again.
The Courier analyzer does not modify the states of the sample
measurement control command bits.
Table 6. Register map for the external command data

Register reference Bit # Command
4:00001 00 Sample line 1 MEAS RQST
4:00001 01 Sample line 1 MEAS CAN
4:00001 02 Sample line 1 BPASS ON
4:00001 03 Sample line 1 BPASS OFF















5. User operated state variables (W)

The Courier analyzer state variable group 18 is reserved for up to 32 user
operated state variables. To set the variables, you can use either the Modbus
registers or Courier Status Manager application in the Analyzer Management
Station. The dedicated register reference range is shown in Table 7.
The automation system writes the user operated state variable values in
these registers. The Courier analyzer does not change these values, but
they affect the values of the analyzer state variables in the state variable
device group 18.
Table 7. Register map for the user operated state variable data
Register reference Bit # User operated state variable in device group 18
4:00009 00 User operated state variable 1
Register reference Bit # User operated state variable in device group 18

6. Measurement variables (W)

The automation system can give numeric values to the analyzer by writing the
data to registers 4:00101 - 4:00200. The data can be in floating-point (one value
uses 2 registers), or integer format (one register).
The given data can be used as input data to measurement variables. In the
measurement variable parameters the register area is referenced to as ‘Input
address’ 1-100 corresponding to the registers 4:00101 - 4:00200. Measurement
variable parameters must be defined according to the format of the data: Use
linearization table for value conversion to floating point format, when integer
values are used, or no linearization, when floating point values are used.
