Network Systems for valve automation

As standard network protocols such as DeviceNet®,

Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus and AS-interface® have

become more widely accepted, it has become possible

to effectively integrate process control components into an

industrial communications network.

A network system may comprise

a number of actuated valves fitted

with PlantNet Control Monitors

interconnected by

a common industrial

communications protocol.

The PlantNet Control Monitor

is fitted directly onto the

pneumatic actuator* and

communicates digitally over

a field network.

Each PlantNet Control Monitor

on a network is assigned a unique

address. This allows

communication with the host,

updating valve position via limit

switch inputs and controlling valve position

via integral solenoid valve outputs.

In addition, each PlantNet Control Monitor is able to

accept a comprehensive range of discrete external field

devices for control, alarm or diagnostic purposes.

Communications with a PLC or host computer is

accomplished by a scanner card or gateway interface

which is compatible with the primary control network.

* Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, As-Interface and DeviceNet may also be implemented within the complete Tyco range of electric actuators.

An AS-interface field network consists of a group

of PlantNet Control Monitors interconnected by the

ASInterface network system.

The AS-interface protocol was developed by a

consortium of major European companies, specifically for

use in low level automated systems.

The ZR-A PlantNet Control Monitor incorporates an

AS-interface Network Card, enabling communications

with higher-level bus systems via gateways.

Each network card communicates with the host,

updating valve position via limit switch inputs and discrete

external devices such as level alarms,

temperature/pressure sensors, flow switches, etc.,

via external inputs. Valve position is controlled via internal

solenoid valve output.

A single AS-interface system will support a network

having a maximum of 31 automated valves with both

power and communications transmitted over the same

pair of wires.

ZR-A PlantNet Control Monitor

The ZR-A PlantNet Control Monitor houses three functional components; position sensors, low-power solenoid valve, and

a network card.

System OperationField Network (AS-interface)

The AS-interface is a master-slave (Gateway-

PlantNet Control Monitor) system and is capable

of operating with a 30VDC supply on a two-wire

unshielded cable. Communication and power

(2.8 or 8A) share the same two wires.

The AS-interface system has a polling cycle time

of less than 5mS. Maximum cable length/network

(without repeaters) is 100 meters from the Gateway

master controller.

Gateway Interface

The PlantNet Control Monitors interface to a higher

level bus system such as ProfiBus, DeviceNet,

ModBus and ModBus+ through the use of gateways.

In some instances, direct connection is available to

PLC’s or PC’s (Siemens Simatic 55 series, AG 90,

95 and 100, ET200V and Delta V is across the

backplane).

A DeviceNet field network consists of a group

of PlantNet Control Monitors interconnected by the

DeviceNet Network System.

The DeviceNet protocol, originated by Allen-

Bradley, is an open protocol based upon proven

Controller Area Network (CAN) technology.

PlantNet Control Monitors with DeviceNet

capability connect automated valves and external

devices directly to the control system, reducing the

I/O interfaces and wiring associated with a typical

hardwired solution.

A single DeviceNet System can accommodate

up to two independent automated valve networks

having a maximum of 63 valves per network.

The DeviceNet protocol provides for 504

(63 x 8) programmable discrete I/O points on

each network or 1008 points per system

(63 x 8 x 2 systems).

ZR-D PlantNet Control Monitor

9

System Operation Field Network (DeviceNet)

ZR-D Control Monitors operate as Group 2 only slaves on the DeviceNet Network. Each device is polled in turn by the

master/scanner for exchange of I/O data.

Scanner Card

The PlantNet Control Monitors interface with the PLC

via a scanner card that resides in Allen-Bradley’s modular PLC

chassis. Data gathered by the scanner from the DeviceNet field

networks is communicated to PLC processors via discrete

and/or block transfers over the chassis backplane.

Number of I/O points on a single system

Since each scanner card for the Allen-Bradley PLC-5 series

can accommodate two independent field networks, a single

DeviceNet system will connect 126 PlantNet Control Monitors

(63 PlantNet Control Monitors/single network).

A Profibus field network consists of a group

of PlantNet Control Monitors linked by the Profibus

Network System.

The Profibus protocol originated as a joint

Fieldbus project in 1987 between several companies

with Siemens as an early promoter of the system.

Profibus is an open protocol which is overseen by the

Profibus User Organization (PTO) which was founded

in 1989 and has a membership of over

1000 companies.

PlantNet Control Monitors with Profibus capability

connect automated valves and external devices

directly to the control system, reducing the I/O

interfaces and wiring associated with a typical

hardwired solution. A single Profibus System can

accommodate up to ten segments having a maximum

of 126 valves per network. The Profibus protocol

provides for a maximum of 756 I/O points per system.

Profibus master that resides in the modular PLC chassis. Data

gathered by the master from the Profibus field networks is

transfers over the chassis backplane.

A Foundation Fieldbus network consists of a group

of PlantNet control Monitors linked by the Foundation

Fieldbus Network System.

The initial specification for Foundation Fieldbus,

drafted in 1987, was a joint effort of the IEC and the

ISA to create an international fieldbus standard. Fisher

was an early promoter of the specification. Foundation

Fieldbus is an open protocol which is overseen by the

Fieldbus Foundation which was established in 1994

and has a membership of over 120 companies.

PlantNet control Monitors with Foundation

Fieldbus capability connect automated valves and

external devices directly to the control system,

reducing the I/O interfaces and wiring associated with

the typical hardwired solution. A single Foundation

Fieldbus System can accommodate up to 5 segments

having a maximum of 12 valves per segment. The

Foundation Fieldbus protocol provides for 360

discrete I/O points per system.

FF is a free topology, which allows point-to-point, zero drop and/or trunk/drop with or without branching.

Gateway InterfaceThe AS-interface Gateway is

responsible for management of the

communications data on the field

network and functions as the interface

between the ZR-A PlantNet Control

Monitors and the primary control

system (PLC, Host, PC).

Along with specific PLC and PC

interfaces, Gateways are available for

use with higher level networks such

as ProfiBus, ModBus, DeviceNet

and ModBus+.

ProfiBus

The AS-interface/ProfiBus

gateways serve to connect the

AS-interface network to the higher

level ProfiBus network. The gateways

act as a complete master for the

AS-interface and as a slave for

ProfiBus.

All AS-interface functions can

be called up via ProfiBus.

The combined device has the

essential advantage of making it

possible to work in a ProfiBus-FMS

(9.6 KBaud to 500 KBaud) as well

as in a ProfiBus -DP network

(9.6 KBaud to 1500 KBaud).

DeviceNet

The AS-interface/DeviceNet

gateway serves to connect the

AS-interface to a DeviceNet network.

The gateway acts as a complete

master for the AS-interface and

as a slave for the DeviceNet.

All AS-interface functions can

be called up via DeviceNet.

Commissioning, configuration and

debugging on the AS-interface circuit

can be accomplished with the two

push-buttons, the LCD display and

the LED’s located on the gateway.

ModBus

The AS-interface/ModBus

gateway serves to connect the

AS-interface to a higher level ModBus

network. The gateway

acts as a complete master for the AS-

interface and as a slave for the

ModBus.

Commissioning, debugging

and setting up of the AS-interface

parameters can be accomplished

with two push-buttons, the LED

display and the LED’s located on

the gateway.
