1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides detailed information on how to install and configure PSI
300 connection to plant automation system. There are five ways to connect PSI
300 to plant automation system:
2. OPC connection
Introduction
OPC (OLE for Process Control) is a general communication standard what
allows communication between different control devices from different
manufacturers.
The OPC connection for PSI 300 requires OPC server and Ethernet connection
to PSI 300. The OPC server software is provided with PSI 300 but the customer
provides OPC client.

(Case sensitive)
The tag address (or ID in some cases) is formed from PSI 300 IP address and
variable name. For example the address for variable “OPC_test” in address
10.0.0.1 is:
10.0.0.1\OPC_test
Unfortunately browsing variables through OPC is not supported. Each tag must
be created separately. Appendix A. OPC variable data includes list of available
tags for PSI 300.
3. Profibus connection
Introduction
Profibus DP (Decentralized Peripherals) is a widely used field bus standard for
field devices. Mainly it is pictured as a link between PLC (master) and I/O or
instrument (slave).

To be able to use Profibus DP with PSI 300, the panel in PSI 300 requires
additional Profibus DP slave card. This card is not a standard component for
PSI 300 and is included only with Profibus option.

The card includes two settings what must be set correctly: Termination switch
and Address switches.
Termination switch must be on when the PSI is the last Profibus device on the
same cable. Termination is always required at the beginning of the cable and at

the end of the cable. Notice that many Profibus cable plugs include termination
switch also.

4. Modbus RTU
Introduction
Modbus is a communication protocol designed for Modicon devices. Due to its
versatility it has become common communication method for several different
PLCs and automation systems. Modbus is a master-slave type of
communication where the master initiates a transaction. Transactions can be
either query / response.

RS485
Modbus RTU in PSI 300 uses RS485 serial communication. RS485 allows
longer distances between devices than RS232.
For Modbus RTU, the cable must be twisted pair cable. Figure 5. displays
connectors for Modbus RTU. (Surge arrester BVT RS485 is required for
protecting the panel from overvoltage.)

You cannot change these Serial port parameters, because they are fixed
in the panel configuration.
5. Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP is very similar to Modbus RTU but transmits the protocol packets
within TCP/IP data packets. Modbus TCP can use normal plant network for
communicating.
In PSI 300 Modbus TCP is converted from Modbus RTU (RS232) with
VersaMax SE Serial to Ethernet adapter. Following picture shows pin
assignments in Modbus RTU/TCP converter.

Use windows telnet to connect the Modbus RTU/TCP converter. The port is
‘9999’.
If you happen to lose the IP address or unable to connect this IP address. You
can change the IP address using windows arp (address resolution protocol).
Follow the steps to set up IP-address:
Open Command prompt
type command:
arp –d
This empties the arp-table
type command:
where:
For example:
telnet 10.9.8.6 1
This connection will fail, but the VMSE will change its IP address to the one
designated in the ARP command line.
Use telnet to connect the VMSE again:
telnet 10.9.8.6 9999

This connects to the VMSE and Configuration window will appear (Figure
11.).
Modbus TCP in PSI 300 includes same data as in Modbus RTU. Appendix C.

The Versamax PLC can include maximum of two analog output modules. This
means that the options for available channels are 8 or 16.
PSI 300 Profibus slave uses byte addressing. Profibus master must use
byte addressing also.
Profibus slave always transmits the whole 139 bytes input and 3 bytes output in
previous table order.
1 byte = 8 bit
1 word = 2 byte
Assay values are scaled by assay type. This is needed because Profibus
cannot transmit floating point (REAL) data. Following table shows multiplier for
assays:
