ABB MNS iS Motor Control Center Interface Manual MLink HW 1TGE120021

Introduction

MNSiS Interface Manual MLink

The system interface MLink is an industrial PC equipped with interface cards and ports required for communication internally to MControl and externally to process control systems.

Figure 1 MLin

One MLink can communicate internally with up to 60 MControl. If more than 60 MControl are required, then additional MLinks have to be used.

Hardware Types and Technical Data

The configuration of MLink depends on the selected communication protocol to the DCS. Following communication interface protocols are available:

· PROFIBUS DP (-V0) and PROFIBUS DP-V1 

· MODBUS RTU / TCP 

· PROFINET IO

The PROFINET interface is supported for use with the ABB 800xA System only

System functions such as MLink web interface (MView), OPC connectivity and time stamp are possible with all MLink types.

For communication to MControl a dedicated interface plug (switchgear bus connector) has to be used dependent on system configuration (redundant, non redundant system).

MLinkmissing application files Possible cause could be a interrupted or disturbed communication between MNavigate and MLink while downloading. Please use MNavigate to download the MLink configuration again.

Error in MLinkXML Configuration file Possible cause could be an interrupted or disturbed communication between MNavigate and MLink while downloading. Please use MNavigate to download the MLink configuration again.

Error in MLinkXML Parameter file Possible cause could be a interrupted or disturbed communication between MNavigate and MLink while downloading. Please use MNavigate to download the MLink parameter again.

Internal MLinkerror MLinkis not able to create internal database. Please reboot the MLink. If that doesn’t resolve the problem use MNavigate t

Xml file missing During startup MLinkis checking if all required xml files are available. In case of a missing file that error is indicated. Please use MNavigate to download the MLink configuration again.

Network configuration error MLinkis not able to configure the IP settings as mentioned in configuration file e.g. due to wrong setting of Default Gateway parameter for that Ethernet Interface. Please use MNavigate to check the settings and download the MLink configuration again. If a download is not possible please use a flash card reader (ref. to MNavigate Help or MNavigate Manual).

General DCS fault (only available if configured) Please check if MLinkhardware (the identity number) matches to the project specification (e.g. Profibus MLink <-> Profibus project). Furthermore the DataMapping should be checked. Please use MNavigate to download the MLink configuration or download Mapping file again (ref. to MNavigate Help or MNavigate Manual)

General DCS fault (only available if configured) See above LED 8 MLink is Primary in Dual Redundant configuration.

General redundancy fault (only available if configured) Please use MNavigateto check the redundancy status (Redundancy Report) . If a mismatch was found please download the regarding file. For details please refer to MNavigate Help or MNavigate Manual.
