Bits marked with "–" are non-information bits. They may not be used and are as-
signed the value "0".
The input bytes are assigned as shown in g Table 9. The diagnostic data are ap-
pended to the input data and are always 8 bytes in length.

The length of the process data in the valve zone depends on the in-
stalled valve driver, see section
The length of the process data in the I/O zone depends on the selected
I/O module (see the system description of the respective I/O mod-
ules).
5.4 Setting the Bus Coupler Parameters
The characteristics of the valve system are influenced by the different parameters
that you set in the controller. You can use these parameters to determine the re-
sponses of the bus coupler and the I/O modules.
This section only describes the parameters for the bus coupler. The parameters of
the I/O zone and the pressure regulators are explained in the system description
of the individual I/O modules or in the operating instructions for the AV-EP pres-
sure regulators. The system description of the bus coupler explains the parame-
ters for the valve driver boards.
The following parameters can be set for the bus coupler:
• Response to an interruption in communication for Modbus TCP
• Response to an error (backplane failure)

5.4.2 Error-response parameters
Response to a backplane malfunction
This parameter describes the response of the bus coupler in the event of a back-
plane malfunction. You can set the following responses:
Bit 1
Bit 0
Option 1 (bit 2 of the parameter byte = 0):
RUN_Set Param_S
• If there is a temporary backplane malfunction (triggered, e.g., by a spike in
et
the power supply), the IO/DIAG LED flashes red and the bus coupler sends a
warning to the controller. As soon as the communication via the backplane is
reinstated, the bus coupler returns to normal mode and the warnings are can-
8DI8M8
8DI8M8
celed.

• In the event of a sustained backplane malfunction (e.g. due to the removal of

message to the controller. The bus coupler simultaneously resets all valves

and outputs. The bus coupler tries to re-initialize the system. It sends the di-
agnostic message that the backplane is attempting re-initialization.

– If the initialization is successful, the bus coupler resumes its normal opera-

X2I1
tion. The error message is canceled and the IO/DIAG LED is illuminated in
green.
– If the initialization is not successful (e.g. due to the connection of new
modules to the backplane or a defective backplane), the bus coupler con-
tinues to send the diagnostic message to the controller that the backplane
is attempting re-initialization, and the initialization is restarted. LED IO/
DIAG continues to flash red.
Option 2 (bit 2 of the parameter byte = 1)
• For temporary backplane malfunctions, the response is identical to option 1.
• In the event of a sustained backplane malfunction, the bus coupler sends an
error message to the controller and the IO/DIAG LED flashes red. The bus cou-
pler simultaneously resets all valves and outputs. An initialization of the sys-

tem is not started. The bus coupler must be restarted manually (power reset)
in order to return it to normal mode.
5.5 Bus Coupler Diagnostic Data
5.5.1 Structure of the diagnostic data
The bus coupler sends 4 words of diagnostic data which is appended to the mod-
ule input data. A valve system consisting of a bus coupler and a module with 2
bytes of input data thus has a total of 5 words of input data. A valve system con-
sisting of a bus coupler and a module without input data has a total of 4 words of
input data.
The 4 words of diagnostic data contain
• 1 word of diagnostic data for the bus coupler and
• 2 words of group diagnostic data for the modules.
The diagnostic data is organized as shown in the following table.
