FEATURES OR RESTRICTIONS SPECIFIC TO PCD2/4.M170

General
• FW update:
The FW can be updated with the FW downloader. To start this program click
“PCD FW downloader” in the “tools” menu from the PG5 Saia Project Manager.
After the completion of a FW download, shown by the FW downloader taskbar,
the code is then copied from the RAM to the FLASH. During this procedure,
which takes about 30 sec, the RUN, HALT and ERROR LED’s blink in a certain
sequence.
• CPLD programming:
At first power up after a firmware update the CPLD will be reprogrammed if its
version is different.
Do not interrupt this programming sequence which take about 30 seconds, but
in some case it can take until 2 min. (LED’s are all off while programming, and
blinking in the normal start-up sequence when finished)
At power line cuts during CPLD programming the PCD may have to be returned
to SBC.

• PGU
Default PGU mode is S-BUS parity therefore PG5, PG4 from version V1.3
upward or PG3 from version β2.0 upwards have to be used.

Memory
• User memory:
User prg mem. HW System Memory FW Default Memory configuration
None 1MBytes 96k prg lines, 128k txt,
e.g.: 512k extended txt/db
512+512kBytes
Flash card 1MBytes 96k prg lines, 128k txt,
(only back-up) e.g.: 512k extended txt/db
512+512kBytes
Note:
- Extended txt/db (txd/db number >= 4000) use fast indexed access and
support binary zero insertion, lower range txt/db have a slower access and
do not support binary zero insertion.
- Both the extended and lower range txt/db are in RAM and have read/write
access by default.
- At flash card use both lower and higher range txt/db values are flashed
together with the user program at the flash copy command from the PG5 as
backup.
- The user program as well as the lower and higher txt/db range are copied to
the PCD7.R400 backup module with the PG5 command “copy program to
FLASH”.
- With PCD7.R400 produced after January 2010 (with the new Macronix
A29800B FLASH) the new FW V0F0 is needed.
• EEPROM:
- The S-Bus configuration is automatically saved in the EEPROM, this means
that even if the battery becomes discharged the S-Bus configuration will be
safe.
- There are 50 non-volatile user registers.
Instructions
• NOP
- Instruction set to ~5µs for FB’s compatibility V010
• LD=/LDX=
- FB’s parameters can be use on the LD and LDX instructions. V020
• SASI
- Text accepts $R parameters. V010
E.g:"UART:$Ra,$Rb,$Rc,$Rd;MODE:$Re,$Rf;DIAG:F$Rg,R$Rh;"
a Baudrate 110…38400 (numerical value)
b Bits 7,8 (numerical value)
c Parity E,O,N (ASCII coded)
d Stop 1 or 2 (numerical value)
e Mode ‘MC0’, ‘SM2’, etc. (ASCII coded)
f Station Reg. with S-Bus station (numerical value)
g Diagnostic flags Reg. with the base diag. flag nbr (0..8191 num. value)
h Diagnostic register Reg. with the diag. register nbr (0..4095 num. value)

• SYSRD/SYSWR
- SYSRD/SYSWR/SYSCMP/DEFTR instructions. V010
- SYSWR 1000: System watchdog V010
- SYSRD 660x for serial port mode read back added V020
- SYSRD/SYSWR 7050 to 7081 V010
to read and write the different elements of the clock.
- SYSRD 7090 V010
Function that returns the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00;
January 1; 1970 (coordinated universal time), according to the system clock.
• SF
- IP library V010
Added SF “ReadIPConfig” V030
- Application library V020
including SFs “CopyText”, “InitDB”, “CopyDB2Registers”, “CopyRegisters”
New “CopyBytes” SF V0F0
Communication
• Serial communication:
- MC0/1/2/4, MD/SD, MM4 V010
- MC5 mode that deactivate RS-485 drivers directly after completion of
transmission. V010
- Freeze function for the MC mode to ensure that no inter-character delay take
place during the transmission of a frame. V0F0
• S-Bus:
- Parity and break modes as master and slave. V010
- Data-Mode V010
- S-Bus Secure data mode. V030
Option to disable the S-Bus secure data mode V0F0
- Modem+ V010
- Gateway (GM/GS). V010
• S-RIO as master and slave. V010
The S-RIO master task assumes the communication and the refresh of the
process image. The RIO task is activated by a SASI instruction. The SAIA
configurator automatically generates the SASI text, the configuration and
messages DB. For more information please read the document “Remote I/O
with SAIA S-Bus” 26/751 F2.

at19.2 kBds. V010
Miscellaneous

- New synchronization for a bloc downloads in mode “RUN”
- Possibility to upload data (SEDIT and SFUP) in a synchronized manner.

- XOB 20, 25: interrupt inputs XOB's V010
- XOB 17, 18, 19: User XOB's V010
This XOB’s which can be provoked via S-BUS telegram (STXM chan, 0, k

only executed if the CPU is in RUN or CONDITIONAL RUN.
