NCU adresses
Table 2-1: Default settings of the bus addresses
Connection SW version NCU address PLC address Baudrate
OPI V 3.4.07 13 13 1.5 mbaud
MPI V 3.4.07 13 2 187.5 kbaud
OPI ab V 3.5 13 13 1.5 mbaud
MPI ab V 3.5 3 2 187.5 kbaud
From NCU software version 3.5 and higher, the address of the NCU is
automatically set to PLC-ADR + 1 when the PLC address is changed.
Example:
If the PLC address is changed to 8, the NCU is given the address 8 + 1 = 9 from
the perspective of the MPI. From the perspective of the OPI, the address of the
NCU remains 13, but it can also be changed.
Enter the correct NCU address in the Properties of the NCU component dialog.
Tips for the NCU
In addition to the NC, the NCU component also contains an S7-PLC. The memory
addresses of the S7-PLC are determined by the data of the NCU. Therefore, when
loading the NCU, load the NCU first and then the S7-CPU.
The communication between the NCU and its components requires resources. The
number of these resources is limited. So, if all resources are occupied, ADDM may
send a communication error message. In this case, one can release resources by
removing the operator panel plug (only on point to point coupling between ADDM
computer and NCU).
Attention
During the operation of a NCU, data can be changed by the operator or the by
the control itself. In this case a started data transfer could be interrupted with
communication errors, because an access from ADDM is blocked by the NCU. If
a communication error occurs, the backup has to be repeated absolutely. If not,
the changed data in the NCU are not backed up.
In order to backup, load or compare an NCU, all channels must be in the RESET
state. If this is not the case, then this can result in inconsistent data. If all of the
channels are in the RESET state, then start with the backup operation. The
progress dialog box showing the NC backup operation is always shown. This
means that every operator can see that presently a backup is being made. If not
all of the channels are in the RESET state, then an error message is returned to
the calling program (Agent or ADDM Client) and displayed.
If the backup task is controlled by the job, then the job is interrupted with error
state -2. This means that the job is repeated after a pre-set time. If the maximum
number of repeats has been reached and the NCU has still not been backed-up,
the job is terminated and the next time that it will be executed is calculated. In
this case, the NCU was not backed-up in the backup cycle that expired.
