Project Administration Participant Guide Overview This section gives you an overview about TriStation 1131 software. Programmable Logic Controller A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a device that stores instructions and then implements operations, such as sequencing, counting, and timing, to automate machines and other processes. It is designed to replace physical mechanisms by simulating the functions they perform. For example, if you wanted to turn a switch on for 15 seconds, and then turn it off, you can attach an external timer to the switch. But on complicated equipment that has multiple switches, attaching an external timer to each switch would be impractical. Instead, you can write a program for a PLC instructing it to scan the status of the switches, and depending on their states, turn them on or offusing a timer function block. The most common applications for PLCs are: • Relays. • Counters. • Timers. A PLC is a microprocessor, made up of a CPU, memory, input circuits, and output circuits. It scansor evaluates the inputs, stores the information in its memory, executes the instructions in theprogram, and then updates the output. It continually repeats this scan cycle. The Trident™ controller scan cycle is made up of four steps, as follows: 1. The PLC performs an internal check of its hardware. 2. The PLC scans inputs and saves the information in its memory. 3. The PLC evaluates the information and executes the program, one step at a time. It then updates the outputs. 4. The PLC copies the output from the memory to the output circuits. The circuits send the operation command to the device. Programmable logic controllers are flexible, cost-effective devices for controlling complex operations and systems. Triconex Controller TriconexTM controllers are based on Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture, using three isolated, parallel control systems integrated into one set of hardware. This provides a high level of system fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is the ability to detect transient and steady-state error conditions, and to take appropriate corrective action online. The system consists of three identical channels (except for the Power Modules that are dual redundant). An application is downloaded and sent over separate communication paths to three main processors in the controller. The logic is scanned and executed by each of the three channels in parallel with the other two. The channels then perform a two out of three (2003) votes of the output data before sending the controlling operation instructions. 2–8 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Participant Guide Project Administration Because each path is separate, no single-point failure in one channel can affect another. If a hardware failure occurs in one channel, the other channels override the faulty one. Repairs can be made to the faulty channel while the PLC continues to process programs without interruption. The system reconfigures itself to full TMR operation. The TMR increases safety, reliability, and critical control. IEC Standards IEC-61131-3 is a set of standards for process control software. A programmer can develop an algorithm, named a Project, using any combination of the following programming languages: • Function Block Diagram (FBD). • Ladder Design (LD). • Structured Text (ST). The standard specifies the syntax, semantics, and display of programming languages. By using standard languages, users can read, review, develop, or maintain the programs for equipment from all vendors that are standard-compliant. A project is made up of re-usable entities named Program Organization Units (POUs), that include: • Programs. • Functions. • Function blocks. POUs are elements organized in a sequence that is then executed by the controller. When a controller using IEC 61131-3 compliant languages receives a program that includes these elements, it executes the program instructions in order, sending the control operations to the machine. Each POU has two parts: • Declaration – The name and data type. • Instruction – Predefined programming code. POUs can be used repeatedly in a program and stored in a custom or user-defined library. These collections of elements can be imported and exported as libraries for use in other projects. Each language is a standard language, allowing a user familiar with standard languages to read,review, develop, or maintain the programs for equipment from all vendors that implement the standard. The IEC Standard includes a library of POUs that function as predefined programming code. As a developer, using IEC Standard ensures uniform programming. 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course 2–9 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Project Administration Participant Guide The benefits of using the IEC 61131-3 standards include: • Re-usable software. − Reducing the need for developing new software. − Re-using proven, tested function blocks and functions. − Reducing programming costs. − Speeding up development. • Error detection early in development cycle. − Enabling logic to be tested and corrected before the runtime. TriStation 1131 Projects The first step in developing an application for process control to create a new project. A project is a database that contains all elements for the application. Each project file has the extension PT2. Parts of an Application An application is made up of elements (programs, functions, and function blocks) that are connected or sequenced in a specific order. These elements form the logic that runs the PLC operation. An application also includes the libraries used to create the logic, and controller functions and function block. The main elements for an application to include are as follows: • Programs. • Function blocks. • Functions. • Variables. • Tagnames. • Data types. • Libraries. • Configuration. 2–10 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

All Rights Reserved
Participant Guide Project Administration Upgrading from Previous Versions of TriStation 1131 If you are upgrading from a previous version of TriStation 1131, please note the following: • Projects created in previous versions of TriStation 1131 should be backed up using the version of TriStation 1131 they were created in, before opening the project in a later version. Projects backed up using a later version of TriStation 1131 cannot be opened by older versions. For example, a project backed up using version 4.8.0 cannot be opened in TriStation 1131 4.4. • If you have previously installed TriStation 1131 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x software, you do not need to uninstall it before installing v4.8.0. However, only one version of TriStation 1131 can be open at any one time; for example, you cannot have v3.x open at the same time as v4.8.0. • If you have previously installed TriStation 1131 4.x software, you do not need to uninstall it before you install version 4.8.0. You may want to keep both versions of TriStation 1131 software installed on your workstation until you have finished converting all your projects to v4.8.0 (see “Existing Projects to Version 4.8.0 Conversion”). However, uninstalling v4.0 after you have installed v4.8.0 will cause v4.8.0 to no longer work. To correct this, simply uninstall both v4.0 and v4.8.0 and then reinstall v4.8.0. • Additionally, if you installed other Triconex applications (such as SOE Recorder) after you installed TriStation 1131 4.0, uninstalling v4.0 may cause other installed Triconex applications to no longer work. To correct this, simply uninstall and then reinstall the other Triconex applications after you uninstall TriStation 1131 4.0. • Sample TriStation 1131 projects are now found in the following locations on the Workstation where you install TriStation 1131 4.8.0: − Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Triconex\\TriStation 1131 4.8.0\\Projects. − Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: C:\\Program Data\\Triconex\\TriStation 1131 4.8.0\\Projects. Changing TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or Later Installation Starting with TriStation 1131 4.8.0, there are two versions of TriStation 1131: • The Tri-GP controller only version: Supports application development for Tri-GP controllers only. You cannot create applications for use with Trident controllers. • The full-featured version: Supports application development for all Triconex controllers. If you have previously installed either version of TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or later, and you want to upgrade or downgrade your installation, you do not need to uninstall it before running the TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or later setup program. During installation, setup will automatically modify the current installation to add or remove features. If you currently have the full-featured version of TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or later 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course 2–15 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Project Administration Participant Guide installed, downgrading to the Tri-GP controller only version means you will lose the ability to work with Trident project files. 2–16 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Participant Guide Project Administration Installing TriStation 1131 Software This section explains how to install TriStation 1131 software. The setup program provided by Triconex company installs all the components of the TriStation 1131 Developer’s Workbench on your workstation. • Triconex Emulator 1.1.0 is automatically installed as part of the TriStation 1131 installation. For more information about the Emulator. For more information, see the TriStation 1131 Developer’s Guide. • If you purchased the optional CEMPLE software, it is installed at the same time. TriStation 1131 software must be installed on a local drive. Do not install and run TriStation 1131 on a network server. Before you start TriStation 1131 installation, make sure that you have installed the latest service packs and critical updates for your version of Windows. To look for recent updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. If the .NET Framework is not already installed, setup will install it for you before installing TriStation 1131. If necessary, setup will also install Windows Installer v4.5 prior to installing the .NET Framework. Depending on your workstation’s configuration, Windows Installer and .NET Framework installation can take several minutes, and may require you to restart your workstation in order to complete the installation process. If you receive any errors during the .NET Framework installation, contact your system administrator for assistance. Note: During installation, you will be asked if you want to change the NERC Security (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) Banner message text. This is optional; the message text can also be modified at any time after installation. If you are not sure if you want to change the text, leave the default text as-is during installation. For more information, see “Customizing the Security Banner Text”. Customizing the Security Banner Text Each time you start TriStation 1131, a security banner appears as shown in Figure 2 , advising you of the appropriate use of TriStation 1131. If you are an administrator managing TriStation 1131 installations in your organization, you may want to customize the security banner text to reflect your corporate policy, meet site-specific needs, or be in compliance with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) cyber security standards. Figure 2 – TriStation Security banner 2–17 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Project Administration Participant Guide Note: For more information about the NERC’s Cyber Security standards, a set of sound security practices that, if properly implemented, can assist in securing critical infrastructure from cyber security threats, see www.nerc.com. The security banner text must be customized in each TriStation 1131 installation individually. However, once you modify the security banner text once, you can simply copy and paste the text from one workstation to another. An easy way to do this would be to create a temporary text file with the security banner text in it, and place that file on the network, or on a portable flash drive. You can then copy and paste the text from the file. Also, the same security banner text can be used for other Triconex products that use the security banner functionality. For example, if your organization’s security banner text is the same for all Triconex products, you can use the same text for the Enhanced Diagnostic Monitor as you do for TriStation 1131. The security banner text can be changed during TriStation 1131 installation, or at any time after installation using the procedure provided in this section. You must be logged in to Windows as user with administrator privileges to change the security banner text. 2–18 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Project Administration Participant Guide Existing Projects to Version 4.8.0 Conversion This section explains how an existing TriStation 1131 project can be automatically converted to v4.8.0. Any project created with v2.x through v4.6 can be converted to v4.8.0. However, once a project has been opened in v4.8.0, it can no longer be opened with an earlier version of TriStation 1131. The programming model for TriStation 1131 4.x is significantly different from versions 3.x and earlier. The most significant differences are: • There are no program instances. • Programs can directly reference tagnames. • Programs cannot use VAR_INPUT, VAR_OUTPUT, or VAR_IN_OUT variables. Note: All projects are backed up automatically prior to project conversion. The backup file can be opened in the version of TriStation 1131 originally used to create the project. The name and location of the backup file is displayed in the messages window. Projects converted to version 4.8.0 are automatically set to use Standard Security. You can change the security setting after project conversion is complete. See “Changing the Security Setting”. The topics included are: • “Selecting the Target System Version During Project Conversion” • “Converting ” • “Converting Version 2.x and 3.x Trident Projects”. • “Converting Version 2.x and 3.x Trident Projects” Selecting the Target System Version During Project Conversion When converting an existing project, a Trident project last opened in TriStation 1131 4.4 or earlier, you are asked to select the target system version for the project. The target system version determines that controller features and modules can be configured in a project. If your project is in the Download Changes state prior to conversion, be sure to select the correct target system version during the conversion process. The conversion process is the only time you can set the project’s target system version without having to change the project state to Download All. If the target system version is correctly configured during conversion, the project can remain in the Download Changes state. However, changing the target system version at any time after conversion will require a Download All. If you select an incorrect target system version during project conversion, you must do one of the following to correct the target system version: • Change the project to the Download All state, and then change the target system version. • Keep the project in the Download Changes state by abandoning the current project and using the project’s backup file to restart the conversion process. 2–22 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Participant Guide Project Administration Rules for Trident Project Target System Version Conversion The rules for Trident project target system version conversion are: • If the project’s hardware configuration includes the Trident 1.0 or 1.1 system, you must upgrade to the Trident 1.2 or later target system version during project conversion. TriStation 1131 4.8.0 cannot be used to create or modify projects for Trident 1.0 or 1.1 systems. In this case, if you want to maintain your project for use with these Trident system versions, do not open the project in TriStation 1131 4.8.0. You must use TriStation 1131 4.4 or earlier with these systems. See the Product Release Notice for TriStation 1131 4.x on the Schneider Electric Global Customer Support (GCS) website for detailed compatibility information. • If you are upgrading from a Trident 1.x to Trident 2.x target system version during project conversion, the configuration settings for the CM will be reset to their default values during project conversion. Schneider Electric recommends writing down your Trident 1.x CM configuration details (or saving a backup of your project prior to conversion) before changing the target system version, so that you can use them to reconfigure the Trident 2.x CM after project conversion is complete. • If time synchronization has been enabled on the Trident CM or MP (as described later in this section), it will be disabled during project conversion if the target system version is changed from 1.x to 2.x, or vice versa. − On Trident 2.x controller, time synchronization is enabled if the Enable Trident Node Time Synchronization check box is selected on the Operating Parameters tab of the MP Setup window. − On Trident 2.x contorller, time synchronization is enabled if either the On NET 1 Enable Time Synchronization or the On NET 2 Enable Time Synchronization properties are selected on the Network tab of the CM Setup window. 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course 2–23 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Project Administration Participant Guide Converting Trident 2.x and 3.x Projects Table 2 identifies the changes made during a v2.x or v3.x project conversion. Table 2 Item Description Application Snapshot Application State The conversion removes the snapshot of the application, Multiple Program Instances which was saved during the last download. This means you will not be able to compare the current version of the project Naming Conflicts to the previously downloaded version of the project until after Trident System Variables the first download Variable Changes The state of the application is changed to Download All • If there are multiple instances of a program, each instance is converted to a new program document • The name of each new document is generated by appending _# to the program name, where # is a consecutive number starting at 1 • For example, if there were two instances of program TankAlarm, the first instance is named TankAlarm_1, and the second is named TankAlarm_2 • If renaming a program input or output results in a name conflict with a local variable, the name of the local variable is appended with?Dup? and a message is written to the message output view • You must rename the local variable before compiling the program • If a tagname references the Trident system variable, the variable name is appended with ?Sys? and a message is written to the message output view • You must change the names and change the Point Type to memory. One way to do this is to replace the dot (period) in the name with an underscore and then delete the ?Sys? from the end of the name • You must also use the system status function blocks (SYS_*) to set the value of these variables. The best place to do this is in the first network in your program. The reason this must be done is that in this version of TriStation 1131, Trident system status values are only accessible by using the system status function blocks • In FBD, LD, and CEM programs, input and output variable declarations are changed to tagname declarations • In ST programs, all VAR_INPUT, VAR_OUTPUT, and VAR_IN_OUT declarations are changed to VAR_EXTERNAL 2–24 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Project Administration Participant Guide Working with Projects This section explains how to open and log on to an existing project, add audit comments and a description, and view project version information. The topics included are: • “Logging into an Existing Project”. • “Displaying Version Numbers of Projects and Documents”. Logging into an Existing Project Only one project can be opened at a time. TriStation 1131 projects must always be run from a local drive. A project that has been saved to a network drive must be copied to your local drive before you open it. Depending on the current security setting, you may need to log in using your Windows username and password. • If Standard Security (uses a simple username/password scheme) is enabled, there is no limit on the number of times you can attempt to enter your username and password • If Enhanced Security (adds another layer of protection against unauthorized access by requiring Windows domain user authentication) is enabled, the number of times you can attempt to enter your username and password is determined by your Windows domain setting For example, if your Windows domain setting is limited to three login attempts, after three unsuccessful attempts to log in to the project, your user account will be locked out. If this occurs, ask your network administrator to reset your Windows account. Note: If an existing TriStation 1131 project was created by a user with restricted or administrator- level rights in Windows, other users may be unable to open that project. Windows security file access rules apply to all TriStation 1131 project files. You must have read/write access to a TriStation 1131 project, and the folder it is located in, to be able to open the project. If you are unable to open a TriStation 1131 project created by another user, contact your network or system administrator for assistance with changing the access rights for the selected project file or file location, or both. The topics included are: • “Logging In for the First Time When Enhanced Security Is Enabled”. • “Logging In When Standard Security Is Enabled”. • “Logging In When Enhanced Security Is Enabled”. “ 2–32 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Participant Guide Project Administration Specifying Project Options Project Options are settings that specify the language, annotation, monitor, download, and Emulator settings used when new project elements are created. When you create new elements in a project, default settings are used unless you specify different settings. For example, the Default Language property is set to Function Block Diagram, that means that a new function is automatically created in FBD language unless you specify another language. You can change the default settings when you begin a new project or at any time during project development. The settings only affect new elements. The topics included are: • “Specifying Language Options”. • “Specifying Annotation Options”. • “Specifying Monitor Colors for BOOL Values”. • “Specifying Forced Points Options”. • “Specifying Emulator Options”. Specifying Language Options Use the Language tab to specify the language and element types used to create new programs, functions, and function blocks. Specifying Annotation Options Use the Annotations tab to display a descriptive text about a constant, tagname, or variable, including information specified in system and user-modifiable macros. Specifying Monitor Colors for BOOL Values Use the Monitoring Colors tab to specify what colors are displayed for BOOL True and False values when the application is run on the controller or Emulator. This feature allows you to change the colors to meet an industry or corporate standard. Specifying Forced Points Options Use the Forced Points tab to specify if you want to be prompted to enter an optional comment when enabling, disabling, or forcing points on the controller or Emulator. The comments appear in the Project History log. Specifying Emulator Options Emulator project options should be set prior to starting the Emulator. Options changed while the Emulator is running will not take effect until the Emulator is stopped and restarted. Emulator project options are saved on a per-project basis, and do not need to be reconfigured each time you start the Emulator. 8906 Trident/TriStation 1131 Comprehensive Course 2–41 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2019 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

In the Emulator, specify the following properties: Property Action Number of Instances Select how many instances of the Emulator you want to be able to run at any one time. If this option is set to Multiple, more than one instance of the Emulator can be running at the same time. If this option is set to Single, only one instance of the Emulator can be running at any one time. Single Emulator instances are terminated when TriStation 1131 disconnects from the Emulator, but multiple Emulator instances must be terminated manually. The default is Single. Emulator Timeout Select the timeout value for the connection to the Emulator. During a Download All or Download Changes operation on the Emulator, the processing time required for applications with a very large number of variables (symbols) may exceed the default Emulator timeout value of 4 seconds. If you receive a “download aborted” message when downloading an application to the Emulator, disconnect from the Emulator, increase the Emulator timeout value, reconnect to the Emulator, and then try downloading again. Note: In most cases, you should not have to change this value. The default timeout value should be adequate for the majority of applications. The valid range is from 0 to 65,535 seconds. The default is 4 seconds. Emulator File Select the files you want to be generated each Generation time you download the application to the Emulator. • Select the BT2 check box if you want a backup project file (.BT2) generated (not recommended). • Select the SOE check box if you want an SOE definition file (.SOE) generated. If you want to be able to test your SOE configuration with the Emulator, you must select this option.

Modules (CMs) for Modbus You will not be able to distinguish between files generated by a download to the Emulator, and files generated by a download to the controller. You may want to make a note of the date and time each time you download the application to the Emulator, so you can compare that timestamp to the date/time of the generated files. Optional. Required only if you want to test Peer- to-Peer communication using the Emulator. Select the communication module you want to get Peer-to-Peer configuration information from and then select the network that the communication module you selected is connected to. The default is NET 1. Note: If no CM modules are listed, that means that you have not configured any communication modules for Peer-to-Peer communication in your project. The Peer-to-Peer configuration from the selected communication module will be used by the Emulator so that you can test your Peer-to- Peer functionality using emulated nodes. Only one Peer-to-Peer configuration can be used by the Emulator. If redundant communication modules are installed in a single logical slot, you must select the physical communication module (LEFT or RIGHT) with the configuration you want to use. The default is LEFT. For more information about using Peer-to-Peer communication with the Emulator, see the Triconex Emulator User’s Guide. Optional.
