 Section 1 Introduction

Product Overview
The 800xA for DCI software product integrates the Symphony Distributed Control
Unit (DCU) controllers with the 800xA System. This integration provides one
operation and configuration view of the system. Connectivity to the DCU hardware
is accomplished through a dedicated OPC Server that is included with 800xA for
DCI.
800xA communicates with the DCU controllers via the ABB ECCP Dual
Ethernet ™ Controller or through third party single Ethernet controller cards.
Workstations with ECCP boards support redundant Control Network (Cnet)
connections to the DCU controllers.
Composer CTK is a software package that provides an integrated set of
configuration tools in a graphical user environment for building DCU control
strategies. CTK is required to co-exist on the network with 800xA for DCI to handle
the configuration of DCU controllers while establishing and maintaining devices on
the DCI control network.
This instruction describes the features of Composer CTK version 6.0 that have been
added to accommodate 800xA for DCI. It is intended to be used as an addendum to
the Composer CTK User’s Guide (3BUA000315Rxxxx) instruction.

Functional Description
The 800xA System allows monitoring and control of process variables from the
DCU such as flow rate, temperature, and pressure according to a control
configuration that the engineer or technician defines. The DCUs and its input/output
(I/O) devices are connected for communication on the Cnet to System 800xA via
the 800xA for DCI software.

 Section 2 Composer CTK

Introduction
Composer CTK is the tool that makes editing DCI tag object instance definitions
possible. Once they are edited, these changes can be exported from Composer CTK
and then imported into the 800xA system using the DCI Tag Importer. Refer to the
Industrial IT, 800xA - System, 800xA for DCI Operation (3BUA000129Rxxxx)
instruction for more information on importing DCI tags.

Description
The DCI Tag Importer aspect of the 800xA for DCI software requires a list of tag
names and other module information so that it can create tag objects corresponding
to DCU databases. The 800xA tag list is an XML file that contains the following
information:
• Name - Name of the DCU module.
• Type - ASCII name of DCU Module Type.
• FIX - Numeric value indicating the Function of the designated module type.
• Description - Description entered by the user of the module (LEG atom).
• Project - Name of the CTK project to which the module has been assigned.
When used for online controllers, the Project Name is blank.
• Controller - Name of the controller to which the module has been assigned. If
the module was taken from a CTK project and was not assigned to a controller,
the string UNASSIGNED will be used.
• Area - Area (number) to which the module has been assigned.

Creating a DCU Tag List Section 2 Composer CTK

Creating a DCU Tag List

The 800xA tag list is created in Composer CTK. From the main Composer CTK
window, select File > Export > 800xA Tag List. When 800xA Tag List is selected,
the 800xA Tag List Export window appears (Figure 1).

TC05628A

Figure 1. Selected Tags To Export

The Tag List Information tab shows the selected Tag List file (if any) and provides a
Browse button to specify the location and name of the Tag List file to be generated.
The default folder for Tag List files is 800xATagLists located in the
<installation_path>\ctk file path. Use the Browse button to change the path as
desired.
The Tag List Information tab also shows the complete list of selected tags for all
projects and controllers in a multi column list box. Items in the list box can be
selected and a dialog menu (right click) can be used to remove the selected item(s)
from the list. Figure 1 shows the number of tags currently selected.
When the 800xA Tag List Export window first appears, the Destination File box is
empty. If an existing file is selected in the Tag List Information tab, the tag lists are
updated to reflect the data from the file. If any tag selections have been made prior
to selecting a new destination file name, the user will be notified that the current
selections will be lost if OK is selected.

12 3BUA000135R5001
Section 2 Composer CTK Creating a DCU Tag List

The Tag Selection tab presents a tree view, containing all projects, online
controllers, and CIO database names, as well as two lists showing all of the tags for
the currently selected tree item as shown in Figure 2.

TC05629A

Figure 2. Selected Tree Item

The tags are listed as Available Tags or Selected Tags. The default project name is
selected when the window is first selected. When a project name is selected in the
tree view, a list of all tags in the project appear in the list boxes. When the project is
expanded, the tree view shows all module types for which at least one tag exists in
the project. If one of the module types is selected, the list boxes show only the tags
of the specified type. Tags can be moved between the lists by using the appropriate
buttons. The double arrow button moves the entire list in the direction indicated.
The single arrow button moves only selected item(s) (Figure 2).
Right click over a tag name in one of the list boxes to display module information
such as Module Type, FIX, Legend, and AREA.
When an online controller name is selected in the tree view, a list of all tags in the
controller appear in the list boxes. When the project is expanded, the tree view
shows all module types for which at least one tag exists. The CIO Databases group
is shown if CTK can locate any CIO Database files (dumped by DCU Manager on
page 14). The CIO Database file names are shown if CIO Databases is expanded.
When a CIO Database is selected, a list of all tags in the Database file appear in the

3BUA000135R5001 13
DCU Manager Section 2 Composer CTK

list boxes. When a CIO Database is expanded, a list of available CIO Module Types
is shown.
The same tag name may exist in different projects and/or online DCUs. However,
duplicate tags cannot exist in the 800xA Tag List file. If the user selects a tag
from a project or controller when it already exists in the complete list (in the Tag
List Information tab), an error is issued stating that the tag must be removed from
the list before adding it from another source (project or controller). From the Tag
List Information tab, the source project or node of a tag can be viewed by right
clicking it.

DCU Manager
Various DCI related features that were previously found only in Conductor NT/UX
products have been integrated into Composer CTK. Utilities such as Network
Device Assignment, Status Display, File Operations, DCU operations, etc. are
organized under the DCU Manager.
The DCU Manager is accessed by selecting Tools > DCU Manager in Composer
CTK. A tool icon is also available on the main CTK toolbar:

The DCU Manager consists of a tree view containing a root named Devices and all
available online DCU nodes in the left window pane, and information that is related
to the selected tree item in the right window pane (Figure 3).

When the Devices root item is selected in the left pane, a summary of all available
nodes is shown in the right pane containing the device name, type, IP address and
Ethernet address.
Various operations are available on items in the tree view. A Menu of available
operations is displayed by right clicking over the desired tree item.

Node Addressing and Network Status Display

When a DCU node is selected in the tree view, Node information is displayed as
shown in Figure 3. When a DCU node is expanded in the tree view, the type of
board in each used slot of the DCU frame is displayed. When one of these slot items
is selected in the tree, the I/O board status is shown in the right pane. Operations are
available on DCU node items in the tree view. A menu of available operations is
displayed by right clicking over the desired DCU node.

 Section 3 Network Services

Introduction
A subset of the current Conductor NT Network Services are used in 800xA for DCI.
These services provide connectivity to the DCU as well as synchronization with
Conductor NT/UX and other vital services, such as DCU licensing and loading.

DCU Connectivity
The DCU has several interfaces for accessing (reading and writing) its internal data.
The most prominent one is Symphony DCI Global Database Access (GDBA). Other
interfaces are used much less often and are not used at all for process data. The
Conductor NT Network Services have built-in support for all of the interfaces as
shown in Table 1.

Conductor NT/UX Synchronization

It is necessary for the DCI connectivity tasks to interoperate with Conductor NT and
Conductor UX consoles. The DCI connectivity tasks are responsible for maintaining
and establishing such tables as the Network Device Assignment table.

3BUA000135R5001 17
Time Synchronization of DCU Section 3 Network Services

It is also necessary to synchronize the DCU database images between Conductor

NT/UX and the DCI connectivity server. This will require running the Conductor
NT dirsync.exe task at certain times. Refer to the Conductor NT Operation
(WBPEEUI340012xx) instruction for more information.

Time Synchronization of DCU

The DCI connectivity server performs time synchronization to the Symphony DCI
nodes. The time synchronization is performed by the TSYNCD DAEMON. The
time synchronizer is responsible for synchronizing time with the DCU, Composer
CTK, and Conductor NT/UX nodes on the same network.

Service Startup
The startup sequencing of the DCI network services is controlled by a task similar to
Conductor NT NWKSER service.

List of Required DCI Network Services

The following table (Table 2) lists the network Services for DCI.

 Section 4 Control Object Type Definition

Introduction
800xA for DCI uses Object Types to provide a connection to and control of the
DCU Controlware modules from the 800xA System. Each DCU module type has a
corresponding Aspect Object Type. Module types with multiple Functions (FIXs)
have an Object Type for each FIX. The CIO module types (AIO, AIOB, etc.) also
have corresponding Object Types.
The following functions are automatically provided by 800xA for DCI:
• Creation of all required Object Types and related Object Type Groups for DCU
Controlware modules in the Object Type Structure.
• Creation of all Control Connection Aspect properties for each Object Type
• Creation of a DCI OPC Control Network Object Type. This Network Object
Type includes the DCI Tag Importer. Refer to the Industrial IT, 800xA - System,
800xA for DCI Operation (3BUA000129Rxxxx) instruction for more
information on the Tag Importer.
• Creation of required Aspect System Objects (ASOs) for the DCI Object Types.

Standard DCU Module Types

An Object Type has been defined for each of the supported module types in DCI.
Each module type corresponds to an Object Type as shown in the Object Types
structure. A Control Connection Aspect (CCA) exists for each Object Type. The
properties included in the Object Types are all those that have DBA access for the
given module type and FIX.

CIO Module Types

An Object Type should be defined for each of the following CIO module types:
• AIO.
3BUA000135R5001 21
Object Types Structure Section 4 Control Object Type Definition

• AIOB.
• DIOB.
• XCON.
• XMSG.
These module types correspond to Object Types as shown in Object Types Structure
on page 22.

Object Types Structure

The Object Types Structure in the Plant Explorer Workplace is where the Object
Types are created. The Symphony DCI Controlware Modules Object Type Group
resides under the Control System Object Type Group.

CCAs
Each Symphony DCI Module Object Type has an OPC CCA. The CCA lists all of
the DBA accessible atoms as properties of the Aspect. Figure 6 shows a sample
CCA Property View for an ANI FIX 0 Object Type.

TC05642A

Figure 6. Property View of the Control Connection Aspect

Data Type Conversion

The Data Types assigned to the properties of the CCA are derived from the Data
Types stored in the Composer CTK project databases. The Composer CTK data

22 3BUA000135R5001
Section 4 Control Object Type Definition Data Type Conversion

types are derived from the types stored in the DCUs ALD format. The ALD types
are in turn derived from the DCUs Data Dictionary Data Types.
Table 3 and Table 4 show the conversion from DCU Data Dictionary Data types to
the CCA property Data Types.

 Section 5 Security

Introduction
GDBA write security is a function of the controller. GDBA write security is
maintained on an Area basis and an access level. There are up to 255 areas in a DCI
installation, and there are nine access levels as defined in Table 5.

Table 5. Symphony DCI Access Levels

Level Trust Level Trust

Operator 1 1 (low) Engineer 3 6
Operator 2 2 Supervisor 1 7
Operator 3 3 Supervisor 2 8
Engineer 1 4 Supervisor 3 9 (high)
Engineer 2 5

Operator Level 1 is considered the lowest and least trusted level, while Supervisor
Level 3 is the highest and most trusted level. Each level is a superset of the
preceding level in terms of allowed access and trust. Beyond that, the actual
implementation and use of the access levels is user designed and user specific.
Areas and access levels are fundamental to DCI security and must be preserved.
Refer to the Controlware II Module Reference (3BUA000313Rxxxx) instruction for
information and detail concerning the dynamics of security in the DCU.

DCI Security
Each user login is assigned one of the nine access levels in Table 5 and anywhere
from 1 to all 255 areas. The assignments are made when the user login is configured
and may be modified by the customer when the need arises.

3BUA000135R5001 25
Aspect Integrator Platform Security Section 5 Security

Each GDBA writable atom in each DCU module has an assignable write access
level from Table 5. Access level assignment is a function of the DCU Data
Dictionary. Also, each individual DCU module is assigned to a specific area as
defined by the AREA atom. However, areas are dynamic and may be changed as
part of the security for a control algorithm.
Each individual atom write request is checked to see if the AREA of the atom is set
in the area mask, and if the access level of the atom matches that in the transaction.
Only those that match are permitted. If any write request does not match, the overall
transaction status is marked as containing errors, and the individual write request is
marked as failed due to a security violation. It is left to the originating application to
deal with the transaction status. In the case of a display, such as a point or graphic
display, an error indication pops up with a text message describing why the
transaction failed.
Symphony DCI users have the flexibility to design the security within these
parameters and that it is vital to preserve the current functionality. The console
does not have the ability to predict or track the dynamics of AREA manipulation
as performed by Controlware. Security control must still be done within the
DCU.

Aspect Integrator Platform Security

800xA System security is an adjunct to Windows Server 2003 security and is
achieved by association with Windows Server 2003 groups. The initial installation
of 800xA System creates five Windows groups automatically, which are intended to
provide levels of security and trust. The five groups and their intended usage are
shown in Table 6 (refer to the Industrial IT, 800xA - System, Administration and
Security (3BSE037410Rxxxx) instruction for more information).

Backup and Restore

Run the Backup option after creating a database for the first time. Run the Backup
option before doing an upgrade or making significant changes to the system
configuration. Run the Restore option when the system becomes corrupt or after an
upgrade takes place.

Access
This feature is accessed through File > Backup in Composer CTK only.

Function
Many of the files and internal tables used in Composer CTK are handled by the
Backup/Restore tool to prevent accidental loss of configuration data. Three new
options are available in the Library Components list:
• 800xA Taglist Files.
• DCU Manager Upload/Download Files.
• DCI System Configuration Tables.
The 800xA Taglist Files are XML files created by the 800xA Tag List Export Tool.
These are files saved to the default path recommended by the Tag List tool. If files
are saved in any folder other than the specified default folder, they will not be saved
in the backup file.
The DCU Manager Upload/Download Files are all those files listed in the DCU File
Operations window (ALD Database Files, CCL Files, etc.).
The DCI System Configuration Tables include the Network Device Assignment
table and the security tables for Users and Area Names.
