General

Purpose
This manual contains a PLC specific description of ACESYS for the Schneider
Electric Unity controllers. This version of ACESYS for Unity is designed for the
HMI system ECS.
This manual has to be seen in consecutive with the generic ACESYS manual.

Main Program Structure
It is recommended to create one section for each Motorgate object in the Structural
View:

Motorgate
Section

Figure 1 Motorgate Object- Structural View

Afterwards attached the section to the Functional Section parent section (group or
route):

Figure 2 Localization of Motorgate Object

 The created section will now appears in the Functional View:

PLC Program Motorgate

Variable Definitions
One tag of the type “ACESYS_MOTORGATE_FACEPLATE” has to be created
for each Motorgate object:

Figure 4 Motorgate Faceplate Tag

This tag contains information to/from ECS. Address definition is required for data
exchange with ECS. For further information about address see chapter Introduction
section Memory Allocation.

 PLC Program
Below is shown programming example for one Motorgate:

Figure 5 PLC Program Examples

The following steps have to be done after inserting of the ACESYS_MOTORGATE

function block and basic input pins are linked:
1. Link the parent object command (from group or route object)
2. Link the variable for faceplate parameters
3. Link the token variable from parent object (group or route)
4. Link the Machine Status Word (MSW) variable. The index has to be
unique for each unit function block

ECS Motorgate Configuration

Motorgate B-point Algorithms

Create a B-point using the following Interface type, Conversion Algorithm and
Block algorithm:

 Motorgate B-point Addresses
The following snapshots illustrate the Modicon address configuration in ECS. The
addresses refer to the memory layout suggested in chapter Introduction section
Memory Allocation:
Unit = 2:

Register = 2499 + Unit * 2

Register = 33101 + Unit * 100

Figure 7 Motorgate Address Configurations unit no. 2

Unit = 45:

Register = 2499 + Unit * 2

Register = 33101 + Unit * 100

Device Simulation
An optional package to the ACESYS standard library offers a set of function blocks
for simulation of I/O signal.
For enabling of internal PLC I/O test see chapter 1 “Introduction”

PLC-program Device Simulation

In the following example simulation for one unimotor is shown, programmed in
FDB:

2 5

Figure 9 Device Simulation Program FDB

1. Link to unit faceplate tag

2. Link to unit output commands
3. Insert a ACESYS_SIM_I function for each signal to be simulated
4. Make connection between simulation block and ACESYS_SIM_I blocks
5. Define %I address to be simulated

 The above example can also be programmed in ST (recommended), and will appear
as shown below:

Info Faceplate
The following faceplate can be called up from the Motorgate faceplate:

Figure 11 Motorgate Info Faceplate

ACESYS Version and Build Number indicate the version of the PLC function
block.

Program State expresses the current state of the function for debugging purposes.
