. PCD2 / _Firmware Classic Why the RS-485 S-Bus [...] possible that the some of the S-Bus telegrams transferred from the PCD S-Bus master to the S-Bus slaves over RS485 are malformed, and the S-Bus slave does reject the request from the master. This could lead to the situation that for example the PCD S-Bus master don’t receive actual values from E-Line RIO’s or that the program download of a PCD program from the PC to a Slave PCD which is located behind
. Why the RS-485 S-Bus communication between the PCD master and the slave does fail sometime, if FW 1.28.20…1.28.33 is used? (FAQ #102026) It’s possible that the some of the S-Bus telegrams transferred from the PCD S-Bus master to the S-Bus slaves over RS485 are malformed, and the S-Bus slave does reject the request from the master. This could lead to the situation that for example the PCD S-Bus master don’t receive actual values from E-Line RIO’s or that the program download of a PCD program from the PC to a Slave PCD which is
now accept AcknowledgeAlarm service requests, which use complete wildcards as timestamps. Main corrections All PCD’s: On S-Bus data mode, if S-Bus CRC contains a S-Bus DLE as last character then S-Bus telegram is incorrect and not accepted from S-Bus recipient. (Since FW 1.28.20) All PCD’s: Not all bytes are transmitted when working with MC4 or MC5 mode on F2xxx module All PCD’s [...] before with SCOB All PCD’s: Profibus communcation using onboard FDL port. The FCS test for SD2 telegram was not implemented correctly. All PCD’s: When S-Bus IP Nodelist is used it’s possible that the

It is possible capturing the traffic on a Ethernet network and stop this capture based on a specific condition, like e.g. the lack of Ether-S-Bus telegrams from a specific station for a certain time. However, this can't be done within Wireshark itself, but by using its command line tool TShark which is piped to a Perl script.
On the CPU PCD2.M480 can be plugged two PCD7.F655 Ethernet cards. This feature allows you to program either Ethernet redundancy by creating an reduced "IP Firewall" or to realise an Ether-S-Bus to Ether-S-Bus gateway.
software Web Connect is needed and to generate project containing a PCD internal Web server the Web Builder is required. Both tools are part of the Controls Suite. S-Bus as communication protocol The SBC S-Bus is an integral component of the Firmware. Many other protocols are supported through special drivers (e.g. FBoxes). Communication modules do not require additional [...] addresses by its physical location All I/Os are addressed statically on the internal I/O bus. Therefore the addresses of mounted I/O modules is depending on its physical location. Each module has a I
. Why does the FBox "SASI S-Bus Extended" not work (for assigning a gateway master port)? (FAQ #101399) There are several reasons to use the FBox "SASI S-Bus Extended" (see FAQ 101400). But there is a limitation that it is not possible to use this FBox for re-assigning a port as Gateway master port on Saia PCD® COSinus systems [...] unassigned. This is the case if there is a falling and later on a rising edge on the input "Sasi" of the FBox "SASI S-Bus extended". On the second attempt to assing the port as gateway master port the FBox
