1. Introduction Overview
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
In Symphony Plus Engineering tools, Composer Field integrates with field devices through PROFIBUS and HART
technologies. Composer Field is a Field Device Tool (FDT) and supports configuration, commissioning, and maintenance of
PROFIBUS devices using device type manager (DTM) technology. For field devices that have conventional device
description files (GSD), a basic PROFIBUS DTM is available to allow standardized offline configuration. HART devices are
integrated, configured, and parameterized through standard HART protocols without the need for additional tools by using a
standard HART DTM.
The individual device DTMs can be accessed from Composer Field’s multiple data views, such as the functional diagram,
system or location overview, etc. Optionally, the PROFIBUS master configuration can be integrated in the Composer
environment. It includes net calculation and loading of process items by using the device-specific channel configuration
generated by the DTM.

Term Definition
Composer Field S+ Engineering application used to engineer fieldbus master and slave
devices of the control system. Interacts with Composer Harmony linking
fieldbus configuration with Harmony control system logic. Also known as Field
Engineering.
2VAA001570-110 1-1
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations 1. Introduction
Term Definition
Composer Harmony Primary S+ Engineering application for engineering S+ Harmony and
traditional Harmony control systems. Also known as Control Engineering for
Harmony systems.
Composer System The initial UI for S+ Engineering is used to engineer the network aspects of the
control system and access other Composer components. Also known as
System Engineering. Composer System 1.0.1 is compatible with Composer
Harmony 6.0.1 and Composer Field 1.0.1 versions only.
Communication DTM This term is used for a DTM which is present on top level of the nested
communication topology; it provides FDT communication interfaces for all of its
connected devices. For Composer Field, the PDP800 and HAI/HAO DTMs are
called as Communication DTMs.
Gateway DTM This term is used for those DTMs which provide gateway functionality to
connect devices. For Composer Field, both device types are acting as Gateway
and Communication DTMs.
Field Device DTM A Field Device DTM is a vendor specific DTM providing user interfaces and
communication parts for configuration and maintenance of field devices. A
HART DTM is always a Field Device DTM whereas PROFIBUS slaves can also
have the functionality of Gateway DTMs.
I/O Communication This term addresses either the PDP800 or the HART capable I/O modules
Gateways (HAI/HAO).
Controller (Aka Module) Directs field processes e.g. HC800 or BRC410 for Harmony system, PM876 for
Melody systems.
Control logic document For Harmony systems, a CLD is a grouping of sheets containing control logic
(CLD) (usually with a similar purpose). A controller configuration usually contains
many control logic documents to implement the control strategy for its
connected I/O.
Control logic template For Harmony systems, a CLT is a preconfigured logic configuration document
(CLT) used to simplify the creation of a new control logic document. A control logic
template, when dragged into a controller, creates a new control logic document
that is identical to the template and that can be linked to the CLT so that
changes to the CLT can be automatically pushed to all linked CLDs, saving time
and effort.
Block For Harmony systems, controllers provide a number of blocks in which to place
function codes when implementing a control strategy. Harmony controllers
typically have 10,000 or 30,000 blocks available.
Control network (Aka Data communication highway. In Composer Field, the DP-Net connects the
Loop) PROFIBUS slaves.
Function code For Harmony systems, a function code represents an instance in the controller
of an algorithm that provides specific functions. These functions are linked
together to form the control strategy.

3. Composer Field Integration with Composer Harmony Introduction
The PDP800 provides a single line of PROFIBUS connectivity and also supports line redundancy. The PDP800 can
also be configured as a redundant module pair independent of the line redundancy. The PDP800 PROFIBUS master
module can be connected to S800 I/O using a CI840 PROFIBUS interface module.
2VAA001570-110 3-1
Main Features of PDP800 3. Composer Field Integration with Composer Harmony
3. Load the standard DTMs for PDP800 and all other PROFIBUS devices into CF project library in the newly
created Symphony Plus Engineering project.
NOTE: Additional DTMs/GSDs for devices can be installed and loaded into the CF project library.
4. Define an HC800 controller in the system structure within CH. This results in an HC800 controller being created
within the system structure of the CF project (identified by L-P-M address).
5. Add PDP800 in CH and provide the block number to be used for the required function code (FC227).
6. Create a PDP800 node in CF per CH request.
7. Add PROFIBUS slave devices (such as CI840 for connecting to S800 I/O) using CH and configure offline as
required.
8. Create PROFIBUS CLDs for the slave devices associated with each PDP800 in CH using automated or manual
method.
9. Link control application logic to PROFIBUS device or IO points (function blocks) using IREFs/OREFs.
10. Label the PDP800 device in Composer Harmony.
NOTES: Refer to the sub-section Establishing a Device Label in S+ Control: PDP800 PROFIBUS Master
Module Hardware and Operation User Manual (2VAA001446) for directions on how to label a HN800 device.
11. Compile HC800 CLDs and resolve any compilation errors.
12. Put the HC800 controller into configure mode and download to the HC800 controller.
13. Set life-cycle state to running in Composer Field.
3-2 2VAA001570-110
3. Composer Field Integration with Composer Harmony Configuring PDP800
NOTES:
1. In CF, the online operations are available through DTMs. The calibration and online parameterization can be
done for the field devices.
2. When loss of communication between the HC800 and the PDP800 occurs, the PDP800 module stops all
communication on PROFIBUS. All attached PROFIBUS devices must be configured to have their outputs go to a
safe state when PROFIBUS communication is lost.
CF is used to select, assign, and configure PROFIBUS slave devices to a PDP PROFIBUS Master, and HART slave
devices to HAI or HAO HART Master modules. The resulting configuration is included in the HC800 controller's control logic
which, when in execute mode, transfers the configuration on to the PDP800.
CH is used to create all required control logic. The PDP800 requires specific function codes to be configured in the HC800
controller's control logic. Function codes are used to represent the PDP800 PROFIBUS master (FC227) and each
PROFIBUS slave device (FC228). Channel function codes FC222, FC223, FC224, and FC225 are used to define Input and
output channels of PROFIBUS devices.
Specifications within FC227 control the PROFIBUS master operating parameters of the PDP800.
FC228 is used to represent each PROFIBUS device. These are connected to the FC227 that represents the PDP800
controlling the PROFIBUS device. Specifications within each FC228 control user parameters sent to the devices on startup
and coordinate the data exchange between the devices and the PDP800. The FC228 specifications provide the required
information to the PDP800, to communicate with the device and to identify the data to be exchanged with the device.
Channel function codes, FC222, FC223, FC224, and FC225 are used to represent individual channel inputs or outputs from
or to a PROFIBUS device. These function codes are sequentially linked to the FC228 that represents the PROFIBUS
device. Specifications in the channel function codes are used to identify the PROFIBUS data type and data location for a
specific channel.
FC221 is used to represent each HART device for Composer Harmony. It supports multi-channel Harmony I/O blocks. Each
Harmony I/O block incorporates a specific combination of channel data types (digital input, digital output, analog input, and
analog output). FC221 is used to make appropriate assignments of function codes 222 through 225 to Harmony I/O block
channels. Definition of this function code is required for all Harmony I/O blocks.
FC222 and FC223 are used to support PDP800 PROFIBUS module, Harmony I/O blocks and S800 I/O modules only.
These two function codes provides addressing, startup, run-time, override, and failure mode specifications for an individual
or redundant pair of analog input channels on a PDP800 PROFIBUS Master module, Harmony I/O block or an S800 I/O
module. FC222 is required for all configured analog input block channels. FC223 is required for all configured analog output
I/O block channels.
Refer to the S+ Engineering: Composer Harmony Function Code Application Manual (2VAA000844* Vol. 2) for information
on function code. Refer to S+ Control: PDP800 PROFIBUS Master Module Hardware and Operation User Manual
(2VAA001446) for more information on PDP800 configuration.

Fieldbus Device Library 3. Composer Field Integration with Composer Harmony
NOTE: Before adding devices in Composer Harmony, you must first use Composer Field to check for
registered DTMs on the PC and then load the required devices into the Composer Field project Library
structure.
6. Enter the address for the device:
– For PROFIBUS masters and slave devices, this field represents the PROFIBUS address (1-125).
– For HART slave devices, this field represents the input specification on the FC221 to which the slave will be
connected (CH1 - CH8). HART Masters have no address in this sense, only an IB80/HNET label, and this
field will be grayed out when a HART master device type is selected.
– For I/O Modules, the address field represents the slot for the module (e.g. slot in the CI840).
NOTE: Composer Field does not allow changing slot numbers once a module is added. To change the slot
number, the module must be deleted and added to the correct slot.
7. Select the Assign CLD to device from... check box and choose the required CLD source.
8. Click Create Device.

Create a Master Field Device in Composer Harmony 3. Composer Field Integration with Composer Harmony
After adding a PDP800 PROFIBUS DP master device in Composer Harmony, the system structure in Composer Field is
updated with the respective master field device as shown in Figure 3-5.
Similarly, HAI and HAO HART Master field devices can be added in Composer Harmony and CF is updated automatically.
Now you can select, assign, and configure PROFIBUS slave devices to a PDP PROFIBUS Master, and HART slave
devices to HAI or HAO HART Master modules. The resulting configuration is included in the HC800 controller's control logic
which, when in execute mode, transfers the configuration on to the PDP800. The previous figure (Figure 3-5) also displays
the updated System Structure of CF after the addition of HAI and HAO Master field devices of HART Master module in CH.
NOTE: In Composer Harmony, master devices are added under the HC800 controller in an HPC, and slaves field
devices are added under masters. I/O modules can be added to devices like S800 I/O modules, or logical modules in a
slave like the TP800 Turbine Protection slave device. I/O modules are added under the slave module.
3-6 2VAA001570-110
3. Composer Field Integration with Composer Harmony Update FC Data (sync) Operation in Composer Harmony
The following tasks have to be completed successfully before performing the Update FC Data operation:
1. Compile and generate a Configuration file.
2. Compile all the CLD files present in the respective controller.
3. After successful compilation, download the control logic to a Process Controller.
4. Put the controller into Execute mode which then puts the PDP800, HAO, and HAI modules into Execute mode.
5. This action prepares the CH for Online configuration.
Refer to the section Field Devices in S+ Engineering: Composer Harmony Primary Interface Manual (2VAA000812*) for
more information on Update FC Data operation overview.

4.1 Introduction
The PROFIBUS Master/Slave field devices are created in Composer Harmony using Create New Field Device dialog box
and it is updated automatically in the system structure of Composer Field. Then it is configured with the corresponding
specific device applications. All field devices without DTMs are configured according to information stored in the related
GSD file. To allow a system type with templates based on these files, each GSD must have an own object type within the
project library.
The GSD file must be loaded into the Library Structure of CF through Field Devices > Load GSD context menu, where the
loading process automatically creates a proper device type containing the GSD contents. Both DTM and GSD based device
types are stored in the same library as shown in Figure 4-1.
While loading GSD files into project library, Composer Field does not require any update mechanism to create
device types.
2VAA001570-110 4-1

The three DPV1 status bytes display various attributes of the GSD file and are displayed as a HEX string together with their
corresponding GSD items. If these attributes are not available, then the tool uses the attributes which specify these values.
If a device supports redundancy, the Redundancy group box is displayed; this group box allows the user to select the
current device as a redundant support. In this case, the structured user parameters have to be set. There is an automatic
calculation of these data is available, either from GSD file or from an internal algorithm. Additionally, the users can adapt
these parameters to their requirements. The Redundancy group box is only visible if the slave_redundancy_supp flag of
GSD file is not set to zero.
4-14 2VAA001570-110
4. PROFIBUS Integration User Parameter Tab
An experienced user can modify the DPV1 status bytes by selecting the Edit check box. The changes made on these
attributes have an impact on the User Parameter tab (refer to Figure 4-19).

Slave Configuration 4. PROFIBUS Integration
must be addressed at least once by the master is set in DP parameter of the master and applies uniformly to all slaves. This
is required to ensure the mutual consistency of all network parameters.
On the Bus Access tab, other parameters for slave bus access can be set. Depending on the capabilities of the slave, the
following options can be selected:
• Active: Activate the slave handler in the master for the slave in question (DEFAULT: ON).
• Fail Save: Acceptance of fail-safe telegrams (DEFAULT: OFF, automatically available if provided by slave GSD
file).
• Minimum Station Delay (MinTsdr): Minimum delay before the slave responds to a polling telegram, is
automatically set by the bus calculation and should not be changed individually (DEFAULT: 0, which means that the
value in the slave is retained). This setting is also configured for Composer Harmony in FC227.
Generally for these settings it is sufficient to retain the default values. The slave address is only displayed in the slave
properties dialog box; it cannot be edited here. It can be edited only under the Net Assignment aspect view, as its setting
is directly linked to the redundancy configuration.
The fields SYNC and FREEZE indicate whether the slave supports the SYNC and FREEZE functions. Accordingly, the
device can be assigned by means of check boxes to individual broadcast or multicast groups defined on the master side
which enables a master to transmit SYNC and FREEZE commands simultaneously to several slaves. However, this
function is not yet supported by the controller modules at present.

The Coding tab displays binary-coded slave parameters in the form they are loaded into the communication interface. This
view can be used by service personnel when working with the diagnostic tool as a reference giving a comparison between
the settings made in Composer Field and the data actually present in the communication interface.
The radio button cluster allows a data class to be selected, with its length and data content then displayed on the right side.
Click OK to save all these settings. The properties dialog box is then closed. Click Cancel to close the dialog box and any
changes made to the values are cancelled.
All network parameters displayed in the following PROFIBUS Master Configuration dialog box can be changed through the
bus calculation unless explicitly positioning variables are concerned.

Master Configuration 4. PROFIBUS Integration
The Configuration tab contains general information on the device and the network address of the master. The address of
the master can be changed in the controller.
PROFIBUS Master Configuration for PDP800 master is controlled by specifications on the FC227 in
Composer Harmony. Hence, some aspects of PROFIBUS master configuration done in CF is updated to
FC227 specifications while performing Update FC Data operation in CH.
In the FDL parameters tab, the baud rate is set as a positioning variable. If PROFIBUS PA devices are connected to the
bus, the baud rate is set to 93.75 kbd. The PA devices are then coupled to the PROFIBUS DP through a DP/PA converter.
The DP/PA converter reduces the baud rate for the PA segment by the factor 3 to 31.25 kbd. If PA devices are used, this
must be indicated through the check box PA segment. By usage of a DP/PA converter with freely adjustable baud rate, for
example ABB Linking Device LD 800P, a selection of the check box PA segment is not necessary.
The Baudrate rate entered here is synced with Composer Harmony through Update FC Data operation.
Accordingly FC227 is updated for the respective PDP800 Master module.
• TTR (Master Class 1) [bit]: Target Rotation Time, designates the target rotation time of a token and must not be
exceeded by a master. It is calculated and, together with Delta TTR, it forms the Total TTR. For a network, it is
important that all masters are using the same value. The total TTR must also be used in other master devices.
• Slot Time [bit]: Monitoring time for the failure detection of devices and thus a pure monitoring time, it must be
larger than Max-TSDR. It is calculated and, together with Delta Slot Time, it forms the Total Slot Time.
• Min. Station Delay Responder: Period after which a device may respond to a master request at the earliest. It is
calculated from device properties.
• Max. Station Delay Responder: Period after which a device must have responded to a master request at the
latest. It is calculated from device properties.
The positioning variables for the bus calculation can be configured using the following parameters in this tab:
• Delta TTR [bit]: If DPV1 devices are operated on the bus, this parameter should be set to approximately 10% of
the parameter TTR (Master Class 1). In this way, an accelerated loading through the asynchronous services is
achieved.
• Watchdog/TTR [%]: Presetting for the variable of the watchdog depending on the calculated TTR (DEFAULT: 700).
• Delta Slot Time [bit]: If delays exist in the signal runtime due to network components such as repeater, media
converter, protocol converter, redundancy link module or DP/PA converter, these can be taken into account by
indicating the delta slot time.
The More FDL Parameters tab contains basic parameters which are automatically set to default values when setting the
baud rate.
The positioning variables for the bus calculation can be configured using the following parameters in this tab:
• Quiet Time [bit]: Bus quiet time (e.g. for converting NRZ signals to another coding, switch over times for repeater,
DEFAULT: Minimum value automatically from GSD file).

• Setup Time [bit]: Required minimum response time (DEFAULT: Minimum value automatically from GSD file).
• Gap Update Factor: Refreshing of the GAP image of the master cyclically after (GapUpdateFactor * TTR) bit times
at the latest, can be increased for the purpose of optimization (DEFAULT: 10).
• Highest Station Address: Indication of the highest address for which the Class 2 master on the bus are taken into
account. (DEFAULT: '126').
• Retry Limit: Number of retries in case of a communication error (DEFAULT: '1', for DPV1-PA or DP/DPV1-PA
mixed operation: '3').

Master Configuration 4. PROFIBUS Integration
On the Groups tab, the SYNC and FREEZE commands can be activated and deactivated for the various multicast and
broadcast groups.
The Coding tab, as in the slaves, serves as a reference for the service personnel for comparisons between settings in
Composer and the configuration actually loaded in the module. No settings are possible.
On all tabs which permit changes to values, the plausibility check is performed to confirm whether the permissible value
range has been maintained whenever a new value is entered. If the range limits are conflicted, then the previous value is
reset.
When the user quits a tab, an additional mutual plausibility check is made for all entries made on the tab. For example, on
the FDL parameters tab, a check is made whether Min. St. Delay Resp. is less than Max. St. Delay Resp. Inconsistencies
are signalled and quitting of the tab is prevented until the entries have been adjusted.
Click OK to save the settings made. The properties dialog box is then closed. Click Cancel to close the dialog box and all
changes made to the values are cancelled.
For performing PROFIBUS diagnosis, Composer Harmony provides the Harmony Fieldbus Analyzer tool.
