Intended User Section 1 Introduction
Intended User
As a prerequisite you should already know how to use and maintain the Microsoft®
Windows operating system, as well as related hardware and software. In addition,
you must have Administrator privileges on the PC where the software runs.
Performance Results
The following data quantifies performance results based upon a 12 DCN address
system, with only a single media active (this provides the worst case loadings). Note
that the Data Base Management System (DBMS) in MOD 300 has two types of list
access: Subscription and Demand.
• Subscription Lists, once created, are automatically sent to the OPCServer on
the subscription rate. The OPCServer supports subscriptions rates of 1 to 4
seconds; however, any OPCGroup with a cycle of 5 to 20 seconds will also use
a subscription list of 4 seconds.
• Demand Lists, the OPCServer sends out a messages to each controller when
this list information is required, used for OPCGroups greater than 20 seconds.
Reads
The number of attributes in these tests is based upon 4-byte data (CCF integer and
real data, not string data). The numbers in Table 5 (DCN loadings) may vary
depending on system configuration. All reads are performed using OPC
subscriptions. FBus loadings are shown in Table 6.

Section 2 Installation Reverse Time Synchronization
Reverse Time Synchronization

Reverse Time Synchronization (RTS) can be configured on the windows side of a
DCN node (the RTDS). This feature allows the host (RTDS) to constantly update
the Real-time Accelerator Board (RTAB) clock. An important characteristic of this
feature is that it cannot be changed without re-booting the host node since the
registry controls this feature.
The following rules apply to a node with Reverse Time Synchronization:
• Multiple (more than one) RTS nodes can exist on a ring
• RTS nodes will always have their RTAB time synchronized with the host
regardless of the actions of the master timekeeper node
• A non RTS node cannot become master via a console time entry when an RTS
node is master timekeeper. The operator time entry is ignored with the
diagnostic:
OPERATOR TIME CHANGE REQUEST IGNORED
If RTS is disabled (default mode), host clocks are set by time synchronization
messages from their RTAB clock which receives time from the Master System
Timekeeper on the Advant OCS system.
Setting the Reverse Time Synchronization Variable on the RTDS

1. Select Start > Run and execute ‘regedit.exe’ or ‘regedt32.exe’ to start the
Registry Editor
2. Open menu HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Open submenu Software

Appendix A Software License Entry
Introduction
Following the procedures described in this section is necessary for the proper
operation of the ABB software products and features that require licenses. Software
is licensed by relating a software key for each software feature with a unique
machine identifier. Software keys are obtained from the ABB software license
administration system.
This section describes the procedures for obtaining machine IDs, requesting
software keys, and installing software keys.
An overview of the software licensing procedure is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Software Licensing Procedure
For the software to run, the machine ID used to generate the software key must be
present on the computer. The machine ID identifies the computer where the ABB
3BUR002262R2 37
Obtaining the Machine ID Appendix A Software License Entry
software will run, and the software periodically checks that the machine ID is still
present. A single machine ID supports multiple software keys for different features
and for different applications.
Obtaining the Machine ID

There are two types of machine IDs that the ABB licensing program supports: a
dongle or an Ethernet address. Each of the machine ID types has its advantages and
disadvantages.
Using the Ethernet address as a machine ID is generally more convenient. However,
if the Ethernet card that was chosen is ever replaced or permanently removed from
the computer, you must reapply for the software license. Refer to Obtaining the
Ethernet Address on page 39 if this is the type of machine ID you plan to use.
The Rainbow® SentinelSuperPro™ dongle is a copy protection device that attaches
to the 25-pin parallel port of the computer. Some advantages of a dongle are:
• The dongle can be moved from computer to computer. However, the software
licensed to the dongle can only execute on the computer that currently has the
dongle attached.
• Other machine IDs may need to be replaced to upgrade the computer system.
New software keys must then be requested. However, there is no need to
replace the dongle with another one (unless it breaks).
• The Rainbow SentinelSuperPro dongle allows sharing of the parallel port with
most other parallel port devices.
The dongle must be ordered from ABB, since ABB software can
read only dongles manufactured for ABB. Refer to Obtaining and
Installing the Dongle on page 39 for information about ordering a
dongle.
In most cases, ABB software licensing functions support multiple
dongles which are daisy chained together. The dongle for this
product can be anywhere in the daisy chain.
38 3BUR002262R2
Appendix A Software License Entry Obtaining the Ethernet Address
Obtaining the Ethernet Address

If you plan to use the Ethernet address as the machine ID, follow the procedure
below to obtain the Ethernet card address of the computer you are installing the
software:
1. From the DOS command prompt, type ipconfig /all and press ENTER.
The Ethernet address can be obtained by choosing any listed Ethernet adapter
and recording the physical address line item. For example:
00-60-08-CC-BB-B8
2. Record this machine ID (without the hyphens) on the ABB licensing
registration form and follow the instructions in Requesting Software Keys on
page 40 to request software license keys from ABB.
Obtaining and Installing the Dongle

If you plan to use a dongle as the machine ID, you must order the dongle from ABB.
Once you receive the dongle, record the dongle number on the ABB licensing
registration form, install the dongle in the 25-pin parallel port of the server with
MOD 300 Add-on, follow the instructions below to install the Sentinel driver, and
then follow the instructions in Requesting Software Keys on page 40 to request
software license keys from ABB.
If there are multiple dongles daisy chained to the parallel port of the
server, you can add the dongle for this software anywhere in the
daisy chain.
Installing Sentinel Driver

You can install the Sentinel driver from either the License Entry Program window or
an MSDOS Command Prompt window.
To install the Sentinel driver from the License Entry Program window, choose File >
Load SPRO from the menu bar.
To install the Sentinel driver from an MSDOS Command Prompt window, log in as
the Administrator, change directories to the subdirectory for the license entry

Version 1.1 of the OPC Server for MOD 300 supports alarm and
event routing. Do the following to set up the necessary structures. If
this has not been done already, you will need to recompile and
install.
Alarms and events to be routed to the OPC server use the message routing
configuration fields in the Area templet. Scroll to display the MESSAGE CENTER
fields (AREA EDITORS fields are not applicable), Figure 10 (representative).

Message Center Fields Appendix B Advant OCS Database
Message Center Fields

Message fields are used to specify the destinations of messages originating in this
configuration area. During runtime, the following types of messages can be
generated by the system: CCF event, CCF alarm, TCL event, TCL billboard and
system error (diagnostic).
Only the alarms that are absolutely necessary should be configured.

The list of message destinations set up in the system database has a
direct bearing on the communications load resulting from an alarm
burst. Each destination for a message adds to the load.
The destination and type of messages are defined by entries to the following fields:
MESSAGE CTR Use LOGGER as the object ID for the device to receive
messages. The ID must be the one assigned when the
object was inserted in the database.
MESSAGE TYPE Is the type of message. Valid entries for type are:
CCF_ALARM
CCF_EVENT
CCF_BOTH - This option designates both CCF alarm
messages and event messages.
TCL_EVENT
TCL_BILLBOARD - This option is used to designate TCL
unit messages that are generated by TCL MESG and
REPLY statements and programmable unit alarms
generated by TCL UNIT_ALARM statements.
TCL_BOTH - This option designates both TCL event
messages and billboard messages.
SYSTEM
BOTH - This option designates all message types
designated by CCF_BOTH and TCL_BOTH.
ALL - This option designates all message types.
REMOTE TYPE The entry specifies the object type and must be: LOGGER
56 3BUR002262R2
Appendix B Advant OCS Database Message Center Entries for Alarm/Event Loggers
Message Center Entries for Alarm/Event Loggers

Alarm/Event Loggers are software devices that log messages to printers and/or
disks. You must make an entry in the MESSAGE CTR and MESSAGE TYPE fields
for each type of message that you want to log on a specific logger. Any combination
of message types is valid. If a system has more than one configuration area, entries
must be made to the MESSAGE CTR and MESSAGE TYPE fields of each AREA
object.
In the following examples, LOGGER1 is the object ID assigned to the object
representing this Logger.
Example 1 - These entries send all CCF and SYSTEM messages to LOGGER1:
LOGGER1 CCF_BOTH
LOGGER1 SYSTEM
Example 2 - This entry sends all CCF and TCL messages to LOGGER1.
LOGGER1 BOTH
Example 3 - This entry sends all messages to LOGGER1.
LOGGER1 ALL
Message Routing from Operator Station

To route messages, enter the message destinations and the types of messages to be
routed in a MSG_ROUT object to the destinations in the MESSAGE CTR edit
window of the CONSLIB object. This object provides the means to configure how
console log on and/or alarm acknowledgment messages are routed
Indicate the message destination by entering the object ID of the destination
package. For message type enter any one of the following:
CONS_LOG_ONS Console log on
CONS_ACKS Console alarm acknowledgment
CONS_BOTH Both console log on and console alarm acknowledgment
There is a limit of 256 destinations for messages. Messages of a specific type from a
configuration area can be sent to no more than 40 destinations.

Recommended Message Centers for Routing to A/E Server Appendix B Advant OCS Database
Recommended Message Centers for Routing to A/E Server

Route to the node: CCF_ALARM, TCL_BILLBOARD, SYSTEM
Route to Logger: CCF_EVENT, TCL_EVENT, CONS_ACK, CONS_LOG
Changes to Loop Type and UREL Tag Name

Whenever the following loop information changes, it causes OMF Object ID's to
change and not be picked up because the Object ID already exists.
• Changing the loop type such as when adding or deleting Auto/manual FCM's,
PID's or adaptive functions to a PID.
• Changing of a UREL tag name, (UREL and Unit name stay the same but the
physical tag is changed).
To maintain the OMF object resolution you must perform some maintenance on the
nb.store file located in the install path (default is c:\Program Files\ABB Industrial
IT\Data\SystemServices\OMF). Specifically, every node with System Service needs
to have the file deleted and then the node rebooted for the file to be rebuilt. This
may not be necessary if the you are not using the point for OPC access.

Appendix C Syntax for Database References
Format of Expressions
This appendix describes the syntax of database references to process objects.
Database references to the following types of parameters are supported:
• loop parameters
• loop FCM parameters
• array element parameters
• recipe item parameters
• Taylor Ladder Logic (TLL) parameters
3BUR002262R2 59
Loop Parameter Reference (Tag Access) Format Appendix C Syntax for Database References
Loop Parameter Reference (Tag Access) Format

Loop parameter references are used when you are referencing a device or
continuous loop parameter that is unique in the loop. For instance, a continuous
control loop can have only one measured variable (MEASURE) and only one FCM
having a SETPOINT (PID controller).
Two elements are necessary to reference this kind of value: the name of the loop (the
tag), and the parameter's mnemonic. Loop accessible parameter mnemonics are
provided in instruction book 3BUR 000 239Rnn01, Data Base Tables.
The format for entering a loop parameter reference when creating an OPC Item ID
is:
tag.parameter
where
tag is the name (tag) of the loop defined on the Loop

Definition Templet or Device Loops Templet.
parameter is the parameter mnemonic
The following examples show the form of an OPC Item ID for loop parameter
references:
CV101.DEV_CMND
F125.MEASURE
FIC105.SETPOINT
The following are attributes that combine data quality and value. See the data
quality map attribute (Table 7) for the values that can be used in the "BadDQ_Map"
value in the registry.
MEASURE_COMP (DQ_MEAS and MEASURE),
*SETPOINT_COMP (SPT_ALM Bad Data Quality and SETPOINT),
*OUTPUT_COMP (OUTP_ALM Bad Data Quality and OUTPUT),
*DEV_STATE_COMP (DEV_ALRM Bad Data Quality and DEVICE_STAT)
*These require that Suppress Alarm be No (disabled) for the loop.
60 3BUR002262R2
Appendix C Syntax for Database ReferencesFCM Parameter Reference (Tag-FCM Access) Format
FCM Parameter Reference (Tag-FCM Access) Format

An FCM parameter reference is used when you are referencing a parameter that can
occur in more than one FCM of a continuous control loop. For instance, a loop can
have an input source in more than one of its FCMs, making it necessary to identify
the FCM for the desired value, as well as the loop's tag.
The concept of FCMs is explained in instruction book 3BUR 000 238Rnn01,
Configurable Control Functions (CCF) User’s Guide. A knowledge of the FCMs in
your system is necessary when using this type of database reference.
Three elements are required to reference this kind of value: the name of the loop
(the tag), the name of the appropriate FCM, and the parameter's mnemonic. FCM
parameter mnemonics are provided in instruction book 3BUR 000 239Rnn01, Data
Base Tables.
The format for entering an FCM parameter reference when creating an OPC Item ID
is:
tag.fcmname/parameter
where
tag is the name (tag) of the loop defined on the Loop

Definition Templet.
fcmname is the name of the FCM defined on the Loop Definition
Templet
parameter is the parameter mnemonic
The following examples show the form of an OPC Item ID for tag-FCM accessible
FCM parameter references:
F125.LKP/RESULT
TIC_10.AIN/RANGE_CK
3BUR002262R2 61
Array Element Parameter Reference Format Appendix C Syntax for Database References
Array Element Parameter Reference Format

Array element parameter references are used when you are referencing a particular
element of a TCL array.
Four items are necessary to reference this kind of value: the name of the unit where
the TCL array is loaded, the array's name, the location of the element within the
array, and the type of data stored in the array.
The format for entering an array element parameter reference when creating an OPC
Item ID is:
unitname.array/arrayname/index1/index2/parameter
where:
unitname is the name of unit where the array was loaded by a TCL
statement
array is a keyword that defines the reference format.
arrayname is the name of the array whose element value you want
to display
index1 is the location within the first dimension of the array,
expressed as an integer, for the element whose value
you want to display. The value is 0 to 32766 for REAL or
INTEGER types, or 0 to 1629 for STRING types.
index2 is the location within the second dimension of the array,
expressed as an integer, for the element whose value
you want to display. The value is 0 to 32766 for REAL or
INTEGER types, or 0 to 1629 for STRING types. This
location is only required when the array is two
dimensional.
parameter is the mnemonic for the value to display. The only valid
parameter for all data types (REAL, STRING, INTEGER,
BYTES, and TWO_BYTES) is:
VAL (value of item).
The data type is automatically determined from the array
data.
62 3BUR002262R2
Appendix C Syntax for Database References Array Element Parameter Reference Format
The location you specify for the element you want to display must
be within the array's declared size. For example, if you want to
display the value for an element of a single dimensional array
containing 10 elements, you would enter an integer from 1 to 10 for
index1. If you enter a location larger than the number of elements in
the array, a bad quality error or graphic error will appear on the
runtime display instead of the element's value. This is because there
is no such location within the array from which to retrieve a value.
The following example shows the form of an OPC Item ID for array element
accessible array parameter references:
UNIT1DPSS.array/IARRAY/6/VAL
3BUR002262R2 63
Recipe Item Parameter Reference Format Appendix C Syntax for Database References
Recipe Item Parameter Reference Format

Recipe item parameter references are used when you are referencing a particular
recipe item.
Dependency checking for writes to Recipeitem/VAL has to be

preformed by the writing application. All Advant HSI applications
perform this test before allowing the write to the recipe item.
Four elements are necessary to reference this kind of value: the name of the unit
where the recipe is loaded, the recipe item, the type of data the item contains, and
the parameter.
The format for entering a recipe item parameter reference when creating an OPC
Item ID is:
unitname.recipe/recipeitem/datatype/parameter
where:
unitname is the name of unit where the recipe was loaded by a

TCL statement
recipe is a keyword that defines the reference format.
recipeitem is the name of the recipe item whose value you want to
display.
datatype is the type of data you want the recipe item's value
displayed as. Valid data types are REAL, INTEGER, and
STRING. The data type you specify must match the data
type specified when the recipe was created in TCL. If the
data types do not match, asterisks appear on the
runtime display instead of the item's value. This is
because no item of the specified type exists in the
recipe. For example, if you reference a real recipe item
and the recipe created in TCL contains integer or string
items, asterisks are displayed since no real items exist in
the recipe.
64 3BUR002262R2
Appendix C Syntax for Database References Recipe Item Parameter Reference Format
parameter is the mnemonic for the value to display. Valid

parameters for real and integer type recipe items are
VAL (value of item), HI (high limit for item), and LO (low
limit for item). Valid parameters for string type recipe
items are VAL (value of item), DES (descriptor for item),
and ENG (engineering units label for item).
The following example shows the form of an OPC Item ID for a recipe item
parameter reference:
UNIT1DPSS.recipe/COOKTEMP/REAL/VAL
3BUR002262R2 65
Taylor Ladder Logic (TLL) Parameters Reference Format Appendix C Syntax for Database
Taylor Ladder Logic (TLL) Parameters Reference Format

A Taylor Ladder Logic (TLL) parameter reference is used when you reference a
parameter of a TLL element.
Three components are required to reference this kind of value: the name of the TLL
element, the name of the TLL type, and the TLL parameter's mnemonic.
The format for entering a TLL parameter reference when creating an OPC Item ID
is:
tag.type/parameter
where
tag is the name of the TLL element defined in the TLL

Templet.
type is the name of the TLL element type as follows:
I_O Input/Output Points
TIM Timer
CNT Counter
REG Register
parameter is the TLL parameter mnemonic. TLL parameter
mnemonics are provided in instruction book 3BUR 000
243Rnn01, Taylor Ladder Logic (TLL).
The following examples show the form of an OPC Item ID for TLL parameter
references:
