Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Interface

The FactoryLink Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Interface (The Interface Task) allows the user to configure bi-directional communications between the FactoryLink Real-Time Database and devices connected to one or more Square D PowerLogic Ethernet Gateways. Each Gateway has two communication ports on it. Devices supporting SY/MAX protocol and Modbus protocol can be connected to these ports. The Interface Task and the Gateway communicate using Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) as the application protocol over Ethernet protocols (either TCP/IP or OSI). The Interface Task uses SISCO, Inc’s MMS-EASE protocol stack to access the Gateway via MMS.

The FactoryLink Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Interface reads and writes data to and from the devices connected to PowerLogic Ethernet Gateways via MMS over TCP/IP on Ethernet. Read and write operations can occur at timed intervals, upon triggered conditions, or upon operator or system event requests. The FactoryLink Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Interface controls the read and write operations of the communication interface through information designated by the user in multiple configuration tables. Read and write commands are issued to the Gateways using MMS’s unnamed, symbolic variable references. The Gateway performs the protocol conversions necessary to pass the read or write command on to the target device (either a SY/MAX or a Modbus device).

The FactoryLink Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Interface is responsible for the following data transactions:

• Reading data from the PowerLogic equipment via single or block read requests.
• Writing data to PowerLogic equipment via single value changing or triggered block write requests.
• Announcing any error that may occur for the above two transactions.

The FFactoryLink Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Interface provides the following configuration tables:

• Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Logical Station Tables, used to assign physical stations to logical station numbers and to associated each with a PowerLogic Ethernet Gateway. A logical station represents a combination of PowerLogic Ethernet Gateway, Gateway port and device network address as well as device type and specific communcition parameters. Each table consists of two data entry panels: Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Logical Station Control and Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Logical Station Information.
• Square D PowerLogic MMS Ethernet Gateway Read/Write Tables, used to identify the following:
• FactoryLink Real Time Database elements to be used as read and/or write triggers
• Whether or not exception writes are to occur
• FactoryLink Real Time Database elements to be used as table status indicators
• PowerLogic registers to which data is to be transferred to and from the FactoryLink Real-Time Database
