FDT/DTM function (continued)

The DTM configuration is stored in the PAC memory so that the application can be
downloaded in its entirety. It is also saved in the PAC project file (STU), the archive
file (STA), and the full application exchange file (ZEF).
1
A third-party DTM can be installed in the DTM hardware catalog.
The DTM hardware catalog can be used to sort or filter the DTMs according to
various criteria such as Device, Vendor, Groups or Protocols.

The DTM Browser in Unity Pro:

bb Displays the fieldbus topologies in a tree structure

Programming languages
The five IEC 61131-3 compliant languages
The five graphical or textual languages available in Unity Pro are used for
6
programming Modicon M340, Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety,
Modicon Momentum, Premium and Quantum automation platforms.

The three graphical languages are:

bb Ladder (LD) language
bb Function Block Diagram (FBD)
bb Sequential Function Chart (SFC) or Grafcet
7
The two textual languages are:
bb Structured Text (ST)
bb Instruction List (IL)

FBD language editor

For these five languages, you can use the standard set of instructions compliant with
IEC standard 61131-3 to create applications which can be transferred from one
8
platform to another. Unity Pro software also provides extensions to this standard set
of instructions. As they are specific to Modicon M340, Modicon M580,
Modicon M580 Safety, Modicon Momentum, Premium and Quantum automation
platforms, these extensions support the development of more complex applications
in order to maximize the potential of the specific features of each of these platforms.

LL984 language
9
LL984 (Ladder Logic 984) language enables migration from legacy Modicon ranges.
It is used to program Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety, Modicon M340,
Momentum and Quantum automation platforms.

1 Unity Pro user-friendly interface for Modicon automation platforms family is now
available for safety.

Unity Pro allows to:

bb manage a complete control and safety automation system from design to
operation and maintenance.
bb increase productivity during engineering, commissioning and operation for both
2 process and safety, reducing time to market.

Unity Pro makes it possible to design a common safety architecture by executing:

bb safety functions of your process in specific safety tasks,
bb standard functions in other tasks.
All X80 safety I/O are managed through safety tasks, and standard and non
interfering X80 modules are managed in other tasks. So the mix of safety and
3 standard X80 modules is possible in the same M580 Safety PAC.

IEC 61131-3 compliant languages

FBD and LD are supported in SAFE task.
2 modes for operation and maintenance of SAFE task:
bb safety mode: in operation conditions, the safe task is running and is locked for

4
users.
bb maintenance mode: dedicated for maintenance operation in safety part of the
application.

Data editor
Process and safe data are managed in distinct M580 memory area. Unity Pro allows
to easily manage:

5 bb exchange of data between process and safe areas of the project in “Data Editor”
bb process data in “Process Data Editor”
bb safe data in “Safe Data Editor”

Safety function blocks

Unity Pro supports new M580 Safety offers with IEC61508 programming languages
and rich library of safety Function blocks.
6 Safety function block

Data editor
The data editor provides a single tool for performing the following editing tasks:
bb Declaration of data including variables and function blocks (declaration of their

7 type, instances and attributes)

bb Use and archiving of function block data types in different libraries
bb Hierarchical view of data structures
bb Searching, sorting and filtering of data
bb Creation of a hyperlink to access a description from any variable comment

The data is displayed in four tabs:

8 bb “Variables” tab for the creation and management of the following data instances:
Data editor
bits, words, double words, inputs/outputs, tables and structures
bb “DDT Types” tab for the creation of derived data types (tables and structures)
bb “Function Blocks” tab for the declaration of EFBs and DFBs
bb “DFB Types” tab for the creation of DFB user function block data types

Each data element has several attributes, of which:

9
bb Variable name and type are mandatory
bb Comment, physical address in the memory and initial values are optional

The data editor columns can be configured (number of columns, order). The
attributes associated with a variable can be displayed in a properties window.

This editor can be accessed at any time during programming by selecting variables

DFB user function blocks

1
With Unity Pro software, users can create their own function blocks for specific
application requirements on Modicon M340, Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety,
Modicon Momentum, Premium and Quantum platforms.

Once created and saved in the library, these user function blocks can be reused as
easily as EFBs (Elementary Function Blocks).

2
The user function blocks can be used to structure an application. They are used
when a program sequence is repeated several times in the application or for freezing
Design
a standard programming routine. They can be read-only or read/write. They can be
exported to the other Unity Pro applications.

Using a DFB in one or more applications:

bb simplifies program design and entry
bb improves program readability and understanding
bb facilitates program debugging (variables handled by the DFB are identified in the
data editor)
3
bb enables the use of private variables specific to the DFBs, which are independent
of the application

A DFB is set up in several stages:

bb The DFB is designed by assigning a name, a set of parameters (inputs, outputs,

Creating the code

public and private internal variables) and a comment to it via the data editor.
bb The code is created in one or more sections of the program, with the following
4
languages selected according to requirements: Structured Text, Instruction List,
Ladder or Function Block Diagram (ST, IL, LD or FBD).
bb The DFB can be stored in a library with an associated version number.
bb A DFB instance is created in the data editor or when the function is called in the
program editor.
bb This instance is used in the program in the same way as an EFB (the instance can
be created from within the program).

Function block libraries

The function and function block libraries manager contains the elements provided
1 with Unity Pro software. Functions and function blocks are organized into libraries,
which themselves consist of families. Depending on the type of PAC selected and
the processor model, users will have a subset of these libraries available to write
their applications. However, the “Base Lib” library contains a set of functions and
function blocks, for the majority of which compatibility is independent of the
platforms. In particular, it contains the blocks compliant with IEC 61131-3.
The “Base Lib” library is structured into families:
2 bb Timers and counters
bb Process control on integers
bb Table management
bb Comparison
bb Date and time management
bb Logic processing
bb Mathematical processing
3 Standard function block libraries
bb Statistical processing
bb Character string processing
bb Type-to-type data conversion

The “Base Lib” library, which covers standard automation functions, is supplemented
by other, more application-specific libraries and platform-specific functions:
bb Communication library, providing an easy means of integrating communication
4 programs from PACs with those used by HMIs from the PAC application program.
Like other function blocks, these EFBs can be used in any language to exchange
data between PACs or to deliver data to be displayed on an HMI.
bb Process control library. The CONT_CTL library can be used to set up process-
specific control loops. It offers controller, derivative and integral control functions and
additional algorithms, such as EFBs for calculating mean values, selecting a
maximum value, detecting edges or assigning a hysteresis to process values, etc.
5 bb Diagnostics library, which can be used to monitor actuators and contains EFBs
for active diagnostics, reactive diagnostics, interlocking diagnostics, permanent
process condition diagnostics, dynamic diagnostics, monitoring of signal groups, etc.
bb I/O management library, providing services to handle information exchanged
with hardware modules (formatting data, scaling, etc.).
bb Motion Function Blocks library, containing a set of predefined functions and
structures to manage motion controlled by drives and servo drives connected on
6 CANopen.
bb Motion library for motion control and fast counting.
bb System library, which provides EFBs for the execution of system functions,
including: evaluation of scan time, availability of several different system clocks, SFC
section monitoring, display of system status, management of files on the memory
cartridge of the Modicon M340 processor, M580 processor, etc.
bb Finally, a library named “obsolete”, containing the function blocks used by legacy
7 programming software needed to perform application conversions.

Management of user standards

Users can create libraries and families in order to store their own DFBs and DDTs.
This enhancement allows users to take advantage of programming standards
adapted to their needs, along with version management. This means that it is
possible to:
8 bb Check the version of the elements used in an application program against those

Debugging tools
Unity Pro software offers a complete set of tools for debugging Modicon M340,
M580, M580S, Momentum, Premium or Quantum applications. A tool palette
provides direct access to the main functions:
1
bb Dynamic program animation.
bb Setting of watchpoints or breakpoints (not authorized in event-triggered tasks).
bb Step-by-step program execution. A function in this mode enables section-by-
section execution. Instruction-by-instruction execution can be launched from the
previous breakpoint. Three execution commands are therefore possible when the
element to be processed is a subroutine (SR) or DFB user block instance:
vv Step Into: this command is used to move to the first element of the SR or DFB
2
Debugging tools: Dynamic animation/adjustment vv Step Over: this command is used to execute the entire SR or DFB
vv Step Out: this command is used to move to the next instruction after the SR or
DFB element
bb Independent execution of the master (MAST), fast (FAST), auxiliary (AUX) and
event-triggered (EVTi) tasks.

Animation of program elements

3
Dynamic animation is managed section-by-section. A button on the toolbar is used to
activate or deactivate animation for each section.
When the PAC is in RUN, this mode can be used to view simultaneously:
bb The animation of a program section, regardless of the language used.

Debugging tools: Watchpoint

bb The variables window containing the application objects created automatically
from the section viewed. 4
Animation table
Tables containing the variables of the application to be monitored or modified can be
created by data entry or initialized automatically from the selected program section.
The tables can be stored in the application and retrieved from there at a later date.

Unity Pro can be used to save, import and export Animation tables with predefined
5
set values. As it allows population of set values along with current values and vice
versa in the PAC, the Animation tables can be used as templates to make the
application easier to tune.

Debugging DFB user function blocks

Debugging tools: Breakpoint/step-by-step The parameters and public variables of these blocks are displayed and animated in
real time using animation tables, with the possibility of modifying and forcing the
6
required objects.
In exactly the same way as with other program elements, the watchpoint, breakpoint,
step-by-step execution and program code diagnostics functions can be used to
analyze the behavior of DFBs. Setting a breakpoint in a DFB user function block
instance stops execution of the task containing this block.
7
Debugging in Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language
The various debugging tools are also available in SFC language. However, unlike
other sections (IL, ST, LD or FBD), an SFC section executed step-by-step does not
stop execution of the task but instead freezes the SFC chart. Several breakpoints
can be declared simultaneously within a single SFC section.

PLC simulator

1
Unity Pro’s integrated simulator can be used to test the application program for
Modicon M340, M580, M580S, Momentum, Premium or Quantum automation
platforms from the PC terminal without having to connect to the processor. The
functions provided by the debugging tools are available for debugging the master,
Simulator control panel fast and auxiliary tasks.
As the simulator does not manage the PLC I/O, animation tables can be used to
simulate the state of inputs by forcing them to 0 or 1.

2
The simulator can be connected to third-party applications via an OPC server with
OFS (OPC Factory Server) software.

Trending tool
The trending tool allows easy monitoring of variables by detecting operating
problems or improving process performance. You can select any variable in your
3 application and start acquisition, save records, and analyze records with integrated
tools or Excel. The PAC mast scan can scan up to 16 variables.

4 Trending tool control panel

Documentation editor
The documentation editor is based on the Documentation Browser, which shows the
file structure in tree form.

5 It allows all or part of the application file to be printed on any graphics printer
accessible under Windows and using True Type technology, in A4 or US letter print
format.
The documentation editor supports the creation of user-specific files using the
following headings:
bb Title page

Modifying the program with the PAC in RUN mode

With Unity Pro, changes can be made to the program when the PAC connected to
1 the programming terminal is in RUN mode. These modifications are performed with
the following operations:
bb The application contained in the PAC is transferred to the PC terminal running
Unity Pro, if necessary.
bb Program changes are prepared. These program modifications can be of any type
and in any language (IL, ST, LD, FBD and SFC), for example, addition or deletion of
SFC steps or actions. The code of a DFB user function block can also be modified
2 (however, modification of its interface is not permitted).
bb These program changes are updated in the PAC (in RUN mode).

This function makes it possible to add or modify program code and data in different
parts of the application during a single modification session (thus resulting in a
uniform, consistent modification with respect to the controlled process). This
increased flexibility comes at a cost in terms of the amount of program memory
3 required.

Cross-references function
Unity Pro's cross-references function, which is available in standalone mode (offline)
and when connected to the PAC in Run (online), allows users to view the elements of
a PAC application when searching for any type of variable. This view indicates where

4 the declared variable is used, as well as how it is used (for writing, reading, etc.).
This function also provides access to the Search/Replace function for variable
names.
The variable search can be initialized from any editor (language, data, runtime
screen, animation table, etc.).
Cross-references table

5
Import/export function
The import/export function available in Unity Pro supports the following operations
from the structural and functional project views:

6
bb Via the import function, reuse of all or part of a previously created project in the
current project.
bb Via the export function, copying of all or part of the current project to a file for
subsequent reuse.

The files generated during export are generally in XML format (1). However, in
addition to XML, variables can be exported and imported in the following formats:
Data export shortcut menu bb .xvm format compatible with OFS data server software
7 bb source format, in an .scy file compatible with PL7 development software
bb text format with separator (TAB) in a .txt file for compatibility with any other system

During an import, a wizard can be used to reassign data to new instances of:
bb DFB function blocks
bb DDT data structures
bb simple data
8 In addition, when a functional module is imported, the data associated with
animation tables and runtime screens is also reassigned.

The XML import function also supports the transfer of a Modicon M340,

Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety, Premium or Quantum PAC configuration
prepared in the SIS Pro costing and configuration tool for use in the creation of a
project in Unity Pro. This import function spares the user from having to redefine the
9 Data import wizard
PAC configuration when the PAC has already been configured with the SIS Pro tool.

Unity Pro includes an Excel import/export tool that makes it easy to manage the
variables using an XML export file in Excel.

Application converters
Unity Pro’s integrated conversion tools can be used to convert applications created
with ModSoft, ProWorX, Concept and PL7 programming software to Unity Pro
applications.
1
Concept/Unity Pro converter (Quantum and Momentum PACs)
This conversion is performed with a Concept application V2.5 or later (it can also be
performed in V2.11 or later, but only after an update to V2.5). In order to perform the
conversion, the application should be exported to an ASCII file in Concept.
The export file is converted to a Unity Pro source file automatically. This file is then 2
analyzed by Unity Pro. At the end of the procedure, a conversion report is generated
and an output window displays any conversion detected error and provides direct
access to the part of the program to be modified.
The Concept application converter converts the application to Unity Pro, but does
not guarantee that it will operate correctly in real time. It is therefore essential to test
or debug all converted applications.
3
PL7/Unity Pro converter (Premium PAC and Atrium slot PAC)
This conversion is performed with a PL7 application V4 or later (Premium PAC or
Atrium slot PAC). In order to perform the conversion, the source file (complete
application or user function block) should be exported to PL7.
The conversion procedure is similar to that of the Concept conversion described
above.
Note: Applications created with Concept, Modsoft and ProWORX can be converted to LL984.

Unity M580 Application Converter (UMAC)

The conversion from Unity Quantum and Unity Premium applications to Unity M580
applications is performed with UMAC.
UMAC is a standalone software tool that can be installed on a Windows PC. The
complete conversion process relies on the use of Unity Pro.
5
UMAC is available in 2 sizes: Lite and Standard. UMAC Lite is free and downloadable
from our website www.schneider-electric.com. UMAC Lite allows to retain the existing
configuration while UMAC Standard adapts the code to Modicon M580.

Premium and Quantum Ethernet modules
Note: For Modicon M340, M580 and Momentum this service is provided by Unity Loader (see
page 2/6).

Online modification of the configuration (CCOTF)

This function, also called Change Configuration On The Fly (CCOTF), is used to modify
9
the Modicon M580 or Modicon Quantum configuration online (application in RUN mode):
bb Addition or removal of discrete or analog I/O modules
bb Modification of configuration parameters of discrete or analog I/O modules
(already present or newly installed)

On Quantum, the CCOTF function is supported by standalone processors for the

three types of I/O architecture (local, RIO, DIO) using version 5 of Unity Pro, and for 10
Hot Standby processors using version 4.1 or higher of Unity Pro.

The CCOTF function should first be validated in the Unity Pro configuration screen.

Programmable process control

Process control in machines

Unity Pro contains CONT_CTL, a library of 36 function blocks used to create control
1 loops for machine control.

The requirements for closed loop control functions in machines are adequately met
by Modicon M340, Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety, Modicon Momentum,
Premium and Quantum platforms thanks to the wealth of functions in the library and
the flexibility with which function blocks can be linked together through programming.
This solution therefore avoids the need for external controllers and simplifies the
2 overall control architecture of the machine, as well as its design, roll-out and
operation.

The EFs or EFBs can be used in any of the Unity Pro languages (LD, ST, IL and
FBD). FBD is particularly suitable for accessing control processing operations in
Unity Pro through its wizard for entering and viewing parameters and function block

Unity EFB Toolkit software

Presentation
Unity EFB Toolkit software helps to develop EFs and EFBs in “C” programming
1 language. As an option with Unity Pro, it can be used to extend the standard Unity
Pro function blocks in order to increase functionality. This software comes with
Microsoft Visual Studio, which can be used to debug the function blocks developed
in the Unity Pro PLC simulator. Unity EFB Toolkit also includes a service for creating
Unity EFB Toolkit and managing families of function blocks and integrating them in Unity Pro.

Setup
2 Unity EFB Toolkit manages the whole process of developing Unity Pro function
blocks:
bb User-friendly graphical user interface with automatic file organization
bb Powerful tools for testing and debugging
bb Management of compatibilities and software versions of created functions
bb Generation of executable files for subsequent installation of functions on different

3
Unity Pro stations

Managing function block families

EFB Toolkit helps to create and manage function block families. The function blocks
developed, also known as EFs/EFBs, are stored in families. It makes it possible to
create an organized library of functions written in “C” language. Once created, these
function block families are installed on the Unity Pro stations for the purpose of

4 extending the standard Unity Pro libraries. Integration in Unity Pro can be executed
from Unity EFB Toolkit or via the tool for updating Unity Pro libraries, which allows
these families to be distributed without the use of any other software.

Developing function blocks

The EFB Toolkit software allows the user to create a function block as follows:
bb Declaration of the function block interface in the same way as for the DFBs in
5 Unity Pro
bb Definition of all data types needed (elementary, structures, tables)
bb Support of public and private variables
EFB Toolkit: Managing function block families bb Generation of all files and the block “C” coding frame (the user only adds
functionality to this frame)
bb Granting access to numerous internal PAC services, such as the real-time clock,
PAC variables and data, system words and math functions, including high-precision

6 numerical processing in “double” format

bb Structure of the function block family (compilation/link for all Unity Pro automation
platforms)
bb Provision of a debugging environment: the function blocks created can easily be
debugged in Microsoft Visual Studio by downloading a Unity Pro application
containing the function developed in the Unity Pro PLC simulator. The debugging
functions in Microsoft Visual Studio, especially breakpoints, step-by-step operations,

7 display of the code/data and manipulation of the data, can be accessed without
restriction.
bb Support for managing Unity Pro versions, important during the function block
maintenance phase

Compatibility
Unity EFB Toolkit is compatible with Unity Pro Medium, Large and Extra Large. EFs

8 and EFBs can be developed for Modicon Premium, Quantum, M340, M580 and
Unity Momentum platforms.

The latest available EFB Toolkit version is V8.0:

bb OS compatibility Windows® 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows® 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
and Windows® Server 2008 (64-bit).
bb Minimum supported version of Unity Pro is V6.0 and above if installation is on the

9 same system.
bb The generated libraries can be installed on lower Unity Pro versions on different
EFB Toolkit: Editor systems.

Unity Loader software

Presentation
Unity Loader is companion software to Unity Pro and is used to perform maintenance
1 operations on automation applications. Its easy setup and the small size of its
executable make it a vital tool for updating Unity Pro projects without needing to use
Unity Pro. It can also be used for updating the embedded software on Modicon
M340, M580, M580S or Momentum Unity PACs or on Modicon X80 I/O modules. It
Unity Loader performs the following main functions:
bb Transferring automation project components, such as the program and data, from
the PC to the PAC or the PAC to the PC
2 bb Transferring files and user Web pages stored in the memory card of Modicon
M340 PACs
bb Transferring the firmware from the PC to Modicon M340, M580, M580S or
Momentum Unity PACs or to Modicon X80 I/O modules

Software graphic interface

3 The interface is easy to use and has four tabs for access to different operations:
bb The “Project” tab manages the transfer of projects (program and data) between
the PC and the PAC CPU. The software transfers the program (application file
format: .stu; archive file format: .sta) and data (located and unlocated; data file
format: .dat) of a Unity Pro project in both directions. The program and data files
created by Unity Loader are compatible with Unity Pro. When it is connected to the

4
PAC, Unity Loader displays the information associated with the data read in the PAC.
This information is displayed on the PC for the selected files. The user decides which
project elements will be transferred by a single command after validation of the
required transfers.
vv Modicon M340 PACs and BMXRMSpp8MFP memory card only: the files and user
Web pages can be transferred from the memory card to the PC and vice versa.
Unity Loader: Project tab vv BMXNOE0110 with flash memory card only: Web pages stored in the flash

5
memory can be transferred from the module to the PC and vice versa.
bb The “Firmware” tab can be used to update the firmware in the Modicon M340,
M580, M580S or Momentum Unity PACs or on Modicon X80 I/O modules. The
screen displays the detailed content of the firmware versions existing in the module
and on the PC. Firmware updating works in the same way as project transfers.
bb The “Options” tabs is used to configure the working environment, especially the
location of files on the PC and the selection of one of the six languages supported
(English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese) for the user interface and
6 online help.
bb The “About…” tab displays information about the software.

Note: Regardless of which tab is selected, the connection status with the PAC is continuously
displayed, together with commands for connection/disconnection and changing the PAC
operating mode.

7 Modicon M340 PAC and BMXRMSpp8MFP memory card only

The Unity Loader software can download the project files and the firmware
(controller or module) onto a flash memory card (BMXRMSpp8MFP only) plugged
into the PAC CPU.
This firmware download can then be used to update a remote Modicon M340 PAC.

OPC data server software

OPC Factory Server

Presentation
Based on the OLE for Process Control (OPC) standard, Schneider Electric's OPC
1 Factory Server (OFS) software allows “client” software applications, such as
supervisors/SCADA and customized interfaces, to access the data of Schneider
Electric automation system and electrical distribution devices connected to networks
OPC Factory Server or fieldbuses in real time.
It also allows communication with third-party devices supporting Modbus and
Modbus/TCP protocols.

2 OFS enables simpler, more open and transparent communication between your
software applications and your devices. These are just some of the advantages that
result in a complete interoperability solution that is central to your process.

In version V3.6, the OFS provides the following additional features:

bb OPC DA (OPC Data Access)
bb .NET API interface
3 bb Native support for a redundant link with the PAC
bb Access to time-stamped variables in the PAC or X80 drops
bb V3.6 is compatible with Wonderware WSP environment (OPC DA compatible
only). More details are available on the Wonderware Global Customer Support site

There are two versions of the OFS V3.6 offer supporting the OPC DA protocol:
bb OFS Small: Data server for 1,000 items (1).
4 bb OFS Large: Data server with an unlimited number of items (1).

Devices and protocols supported

OFS software is a multi-device data server: it allows simultaneous use of several
communication protocols, and it provides client applications with a set of services for
accessing control system items that may be local or remote, via physical address or
via symbol.
5 Devices supported:
bb Modicon Quantum, Premium, M340, M580, Micro, Compact and Momentum
PACs
bb Schneider Electric TSX Series 7 and April Series 1000 PACs
bb Modbus serial devices connected via Schneider Electric gateways: TSXETG10pp,
EGXppp ranges, etc.
6 bb Uni-Telway serial devices connected via Schneider Electric gateways
(TSXETG1010)
Networks and protocols supported:
bb Modbus: Modbus serial, Modbus Plus, Modbus/TCP
bb X-Way/Uni-TE: Uni-Telway, Fipway, ISAway, PCIway

Redundant link on Modbus/TCP

7 The OFS V3.6 incorporates native support for a redundant link with the PAC in order
to optimize system availability without any impact on the SCADA application. OFS
automatically changes over from the primary to the standby communication path in
case of a communication fault.

Openness
8 The development of specialized interfaces is simpler with OFS V3.6 software, which
is aimed at two types of user in particular:

bb End users who want either to interface their supervision or human/machine

interface applications with Schneider Electric equipment, or to develop applications
on a PC (supervisory control screens, Excel spreadsheets etc.) requiring access to
control system data.

9 bb Suppliers of control system or industrial data processing software

(supervision, human/machine interfaces, etc.) seeking to develop, within their
standard products, an OPC Client interface capable of accessing data in Schneider
Electric equipment via the OFS server.

stations. Communication between the client station and the OFS server is
conducted through the DCOM layer (Microsoft) via the OPC DA protocol.

Intranet

2 DCOM Ethernet Modbus/TCP network

.NET client Server

OFS station

The .NET Microsoft compatibility of the OFS server has been developed to allow an
OPC .NET client to access OFS server items on an Intranet network via the OPC
.NET API interface.
4 This interface provides interoperability between existing OPC applications and
applications developed in the standard .NET environment.

The OFS server 1 is at the center of the data exchanges. It makes variables
exchanged between the OPC client 2 and the PAC 3 consistent in one of three ways,
using a symbol (or variables) database:

bb The variables database is either the Unity Pro project 4, or the Concept project.
5
In both these cases, Unity Pro or Concept needs to be installed on the OFS server
station.

bb Or the variables database is an export file (SCY for PL7, XVM for Unity Pro). PL7
and Unity Pro are not required in either of these cases.

bb Or the variables database is the PAC itself. In this case neither Unity Pro nor an 6
export file is needed. This does not apply to Momentum and TSX Micro PACs. If an
inconsistency is detected (following online modification of the PAC program for
example), OFS resynchronizes itself automatically as a background task, without
breaking communication between the PAC and the OPC client.
For this function the following minimum versions are required:
vv OFS V3.35
vv Unity Pro V6.0 7
vv Modicon M340 V2.3, M580 V1.0, Premium V2.9 and Quantum V3.0 PACs

Function
Development of client applications
1 OFS software has 4 types of interface:

bb OLE Automation interface (OPC DA)

Particularly suitable for end users, this enables the development of OPC client
applications in Visual Basic, in Visual Basic for Excel, and in C++.

2
bb OLE Custom interface (OPC DA)
Used primarily by suppliers of automated control system or industrial IT products,
this interface enables the development of applications in C++ in order to access the
OFS software OPC server. It is aimed at software development experts in particular,
so that they can integrate the client application into their standard products. It is the
interface with the highest performance, in terms of access time to data stored in the
OPC server. It requires extensive knowledge of C++ programming to set up.

3 bb OPC .NET API wrapper interface

The .NET Microsoft compatibility of the OFS data server gives an OPC .NET client
standard access to OFS server items via an Intranet network, thus providing greater
interoperability with standard .NET environments.
Note: In this case, communication between the OPC .NET client and the OFS server is
conducted through the DCOM layer (or COM layer in a local configuration) via the OPC DA
protocol.

Time stamping system

Presentation
The time stamping system is a complete solution providing a SCADA with a
1 sequence of events that are time-stamped at source, enabling the user to analyze
the source of any abnormal behavior in an automated system.

The SOE (sequence of events) is displayed in the alarm log or in the list of events for
a client such as a SCADA.

2 Each event in the SOE is a change of value (transition) of a discrete I/O detected by
a time stamping module.

Advantages
Using the time stamping system has the following advantages:
bb No PAC programming
bb Direct communication between the time stamping modules and the client. If the
3 time stamping modules are in an Ethernet I/O drop, the bandwidth of the PAC
communication is not used
bb Consistency of the I/O values between the process (time stamping modules) and
the client
bb Consistency is maintained irrespective of the operating mode
bb No loss of events under normal operating conditions
bb Management of Hot Standby configurations on the PAC and/or SCADA
4 redundancy
