Fields for the Communication with the PLC

The MODICON®* plug-in makes use of the Modbus communication protocol to communicate with the PLC. The transmitted information is defined by the configuration of the plug-in. For each type of information, for example, the requested command or a result value, a so called "field" is provided. The set of fields is exported to a CSV file when the plug-in is started and it represents the set of global symbols which can be used by the PLC. The exported CSV file can be used as reference when building the variable list in the PLC program.

For each field in the CSV file, a specific memory block is reserved on the PLC. The fields are used by both the PLC and by the plug-in to write and read the required data. The fields can be separated into two blocks on the PLC's memory. One block of fields is used by the PLC to request commands or to define arguments for the execution. The other block is used by the plug-in to write information provided by the vision system, for example, general information on the vision system or the results of an execution. The PLC can read and process the information provided in the fields that are written by the plug-in and vice versa. Each field has a predefined name.

Some of the fields are a fixed part of the setup and will always be provided, for example, the field containing the current state of the vision system. We will refer to these type of fields as static fields. In contrast, there are also some dynamic fields which depend on the configuration of the plug-in and are provided only if the respective parameters of the plug-in are set accordingly, for example, the fields for result values. In the following sections, you can find an overview of the static fields which are a fixed part in the protocol and the dynamic fields which are added only if the plug-in is configured accordingly.

Exporting the Fields for the PLC

The set of fields can be exported in the "Communication" tab of the MERLIC RTE Setup.

Select the desired MODICON®* plug-in instance on the left to show the configuration of the plug-in.
If necessary, adjust the location and file name of the CSV file to be exported. The respective parameters are provided in the parameter category Export Symbols.
Click on the " Start plug-in" button on the bottom of the MERLIC RTE Setup to export the fields to the specified file.

The fields will be automatically exported to the specified file when the plug-in is started, that is, when you click on the start button. The exported file contains information on all required fields, the respective data type, and the assigned memory addresses.

The fields can be exported independently of the PLC. A connection to the PLC is not required for the export. However, if the connection is not established yet, an error message occurs that the plug-in could not be started. You can ignore this error if you only wanted to export the CSV file.

When implementing the program for the PLC in "EcoStruxure™ Machine Expert - Basic", the exported file serves as reference for the fields and memory blocks that are required for the communication. For this, you can imported the file as described in the next section.

Static Fields

This type of fields are always available for the communication. Most of them are written by the plug-in to provide information on the vision system or on the current execution. The PLC writes only a few of the static fields.

Static Fields Written by Plug-in

Field	Data type	Description
GMV_VERSIONMAJOR	INT	Major version number of the plug-in.
GMV_VERSIONMINOR	INT	Minor version number of the plug-in.
GMV_CURRENTSTATE	INT	Current state of the MERLIC, for example, 72 for "SingleExecution". For more information on the values of the different state and how they are encoded, see the section MERLIC State Machine.
GMV_LASTRESULTID	DINT	ID of latest result.
GMV_NUMBEROFRECIPES	DINT	Number of recipes that are available.
GMV_PREPARERECIPEIDS	ARRAY [0..31] OF BOOL	Indicator which recipe is currently prepared. It contains an array in which each entry indicates whether the recipe corresponding to the index is currently prepared. This only works if 32 or fewer recipes are defined. In addition, only one recipe can be prepared when MERLIC is used.
GMV_RUNNINGJOBID	DINT	ID of the job that is currently running.
GMV_ACQUISITIONDONECOUNT	DINT	Number of image acquisitions that have been performed for the current job. Initially it is set to 0 which indicates that no images have been acquired yet. It is reset for each new job.
GMV_ACKCOMMANDCODE	INT	Code of the requested command that has been acknowledged last by the plug-in.
GMV_ERRORCODE	DINT	Numeric error code. It provides information on the nature of the error, the severity, and the affected component. For more information on how errors are returned, see Error Handling.
GMV_ERRORCAUSE	INT	Code of the command that caused an error. It assumes the same numeric value as given in the "GMV_REQCOMMANDCODE" and "GMV_ACKCOMMANDCODE" fields. For more information on how errors are returned, see Error Handling.
GMV_DROPPEDRESULTCOUNT	DINT	Number of results that have been dropped when using the result mode "Dequeue from buffer". Initially, it is set to 0 and incremented for each result that has been dropped. If the PLC does not dequeue the results fast enough and the result buffer capacity is exceeded, the oldest result in the buffer is dropped, that is, the result which would have been dequeued next.
GMV_RESULTID	DINT	ID of the currently displayed result.
GMV_RESULTRECIPEID	DINT	ID of the recipe which produced the displayed result.
GMV_RESULTJOBID	DINT	ID of the job which produced the displayed result.

Field

Data type

Description

GMV_REQCOMMANDCODE

INT

Code of the requested command.

For more information on the available commands and their codes, see Communication between Plug-in and PLC.

GMV_COMMANDRECIPEIDINUSE

BOOL

Indicator whether the recipe that is defined in "GMV_COMMANDRECIPEID" shall be used for the command requested in "GMV_REQCOMMANDCODE".

GMV_COMMANDRECIPEID

DINT

ID of the recipe that will be used for the command requested in "GMV_REQCOMMANDCODE" if the value of "GMV_COMMANDRECIPEIDINUSE" is set to TRUE.

Dynamic Fields

This type of fields are not provided by default. They are only added to the PLC memory if the plug-in is configured accordingly. Thus, the configuration of the plug-in determines which of the dynamic fields will be available for the communication. As with the static fields, some of the dynamic fields are written by the plug-in and some others are written by the PLC. The following sections provide an overview of the dynamic fields.

Dynamic Fields Written by the Plug-in

Field	Description
GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_<TYPE>_W0	Indicator whether any results of the respective data type are available to be queried. It contains an array in which each bit serves as indicator for a specific result of this data type. The size of the array depends on the configuration of the plug-in, that is, it depends on the setting for the respective result data type in the category Writing Data to PLC Memory. For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) result allocation" is set to 2, the field "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will be added to the PLC memory. If the two least significant bits of "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" are 1, both results of data type INT are available. However, if the plug-in configuration defines more than 16 results for the data type INT, the bits in the "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" field are not enough to indicate the availability for each result. In this case, another field "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W1" will be added. This field can then be used as indicator for the next 16 results of data type INT. Available data types: BOOL INT DINT REAL STRING[80]
GMV_RESULT_<TYPE>_<INDEX>	Actual result values of the data types BOOL, INT, DINT, and REAL. Each result is written to its own field. The symbol of a result field is composed of the prefix "GMV_RESULT_" followed by the data type and the index of the result. These type of fields will only be added to the PLC memory if the configuration of the plug-in is set accordingly in the category Writing Data to PLC Memory. For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) result allocation" is set to 2, two fields for the result values will be added to the PLC memory: "GMV_RESULT_INT_0" and "GMV_RESULT_INT_1". The field with the symbol "GMV_RESULT_INT_0" will be used for the value of the first result of data type INT and the field with the symbol "GMV_RESULT_INT_1" will be used for the second INT result. After an execution, the first two bits of "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will indicate whether these INT results are available.
GMV_RESULT_STRING80_<INDEX>_W<WORD_INDEX>	Actual result values for of data type STRING[80]. For a result of data type STRING[80], 40 register addresses are reserved because it is mapped via a sequence of single WORDS. This means that there are 40 fields for the value of a single STRING[80] result. The symbols of these fields are composed similar to the ones for results of other data types but with an additional suffix: "W<WORD_INDEX>". The additional suffix is composed of the character "W" and an index number. This index number indicates to which of the 40 WORDS containing the STRING[80] value, that is, to which bytes, the respective field refers to. For example, the symbols of the fields that are reserved for the first result value of data type STRING[80] are the following: "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W0", "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W1", and so on until "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W39". The first index 0 of all these symbols indicates that the fields refer to the first result value of type STRING[80]. The second index refers to the respective word within the sequence of singe WORDS. Thus, the field with symbol "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W0" is used for the first two bytes of the first STRING[80] result. The field with symbol "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W1" is used for the third and fourth byte of the first STRING[80] result and so on until the field with symbol "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W39" which is used for the last two bytes. These type of fields will only be added to the PLC memory if the configuration of the plug-in is set accordingly in the category Reading Data from PLC Memory. For example, if the plug-in parameter "STRING[80] result allocation" is set to 2, 80 fields for the result values will be added to the PLC memory: 40 fields for the value of the first STRING[80] result ("GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W0" to "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W39") and 40 fields for the value of the second STRING[80] result ("GMV_RESULT_STRING80_1_W0" to "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_1_W39").

Field

Description

GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_<TYPE>_W0

Indicator whether any results of the respective data type are available to be queried.

It contains an array in which each bit serves as indicator for a specific result of this data type. The size of the array depends on the configuration of the plug-in, that is, it depends on the setting for the respective result data type in the category Writing Data to PLC Memory.

For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) result allocation" is set to 2, the field "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will be added to the PLC memory. If the two least significant bits of "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" are 1, both results of data type INT are available.

However, if the plug-in configuration defines more than 16 results for the data type INT, the bits in the "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" field are not enough to indicate the availability for each result. In this case, another field "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W1" will be added. This field can then be used as indicator for the next 16 results of data type INT.

Available data types:

BOOL
INT
DINT
REAL
STRING[80]

GMV_RESULT_<TYPE>_<INDEX>

Actual result values of the data types BOOL, INT, DINT, and REAL.

Each result is written to its own field. The symbol of a result field is composed of the prefix "GMV_RESULT_" followed by the data type and the index of the result.

These type of fields will only be added to the PLC memory if the configuration of the plug-in is set accordingly in the category Writing Data to PLC Memory.

For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) result allocation" is set to 2, two fields for the result values will be added to the PLC memory: "GMV_RESULT_INT_0" and "GMV_RESULT_INT_1". The field with the symbol "GMV_RESULT_INT_0" will be used for the value of the first result of data type INT and the field with the symbol "GMV_RESULT_INT_1" will be used for the second INT result. After an execution, the first two bits of "GMV_RESULTUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will indicate whether these INT results are available.

GMV_RESULT_STRING80_<INDEX>_W<WORD_INDEX>

Actual result values for of data type STRING[80].

For a result of data type STRING[80], 40 register addresses are reserved because it is mapped via a sequence of single WORDS. This means that there are 40 fields for the value of a single STRING[80] result. The symbols of these fields are composed similar to the ones for results of other data types but with an additional suffix: "W<WORD_INDEX>". The additional suffix is composed of the character "W" and an index number. This index number indicates to which of the 40 WORDS containing the STRING[80] value, that is, to which bytes, the respective field refers to.

For example, the symbols of the fields that are reserved for the first result value of data type STRING[80] are the following: "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W0", "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W1", and so on until "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W39". The first index 0 of all these symbols indicates that the fields refer to the first result value of type STRING[80]. The second index refers to the respective word within the sequence of singe WORDS. Thus, the field with symbol "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W0" is used for the first two bytes of the first STRING[80] result. The field with symbol "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W1" is used for the third and fourth byte of the first STRING[80] result and so on until the field with symbol "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W39" which is used for the last two bytes.

These type of fields will only be added to the PLC memory if the configuration of the plug-in is set accordingly in the category Reading Data from PLC Memory.

For example, if the plug-in parameter "STRING[80] result allocation" is set to 2, 80 fields for the result values will be added to the PLC memory: 40 fields for the value of the first STRING[80] result ("GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W0" to "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_0_W39") and 40 fields for the value of the second STRING[80] result ("GMV_RESULT_STRING80_1_W0" to "GMV_RESULT_STRING80_1_W39").

Dynamic Fields Written by the PLC

Field	Description
GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_<TYPE>_W0	Indicator whether the recipe parameters of the respective data type shall be overwritten for the next execution by the values defined in the fields of the corresponding iteration parameters. It contains an array in which each bit serves as indicator for a specific iteration parameter of this data type. The size of the array depends on the configuration of the plug-in, that is, it depends on the setting for the respective iteration parameter data type in the category Reading Data from PLC Memory. For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) iteration parameter allocation" is set to 2, the field "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will be added together with the fields "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" and GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1" for the values of the iteration parameters. If the first two bits of "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" are set to 1, the first two recipe values of data type INT will be overridden for the next execution with the values defined in "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" and GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1". However, if the plug-in configuration defines more than 16 iteration parameter for the data type INT, the bits in the "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" are not enough to indicate for each iteration parameter if the respective value should be used for the next execution. In this case, another field "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W1" will be added. This can then be used for as indicator for the next 16 iteration parameter of data type INT.
GMV_ITPARAM_<TYPE>_<INDEX>	Values for iteration parameters of the data types BOOL, INT, DINT, and REAL. The symbol of the respective fields is composed of the prefix "GMV_ITPARAM_" followed by the data type and the index of the iteration parameter. These type of fields will only be added to the PLC memory if the configuration of the plug-in is set accordingly in the category Reading Data from PLC Memory. For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) iteration parameter allocation" is set to 2, two fields for the result values will be added to the PLC memory: "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" and "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1". The field with the symbol "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" is used for the value of the first iteration parameter of data type INT and the field with symbol "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1" is used for the value of the second INT parameter. When requesting a "StartSingleJob" or "StartContinuous" command, the first two bits of "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will indicate whether these values will be used to override the respective values defined in the recipe.
GMV_ITPARAM_<TYPE>_<INDEX>_W<WORD_INDEX>	Values for iteration parameters of data type STRING[80]. For an iteration parameter of data type STRING[80], 40 register addresses are reserved because it is mapped via a sequence of single WORDS.

Field

Description

GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_<TYPE>_W0

Indicator whether the recipe parameters of the respective data type shall be overwritten for the next execution by the values defined in the fields of the corresponding iteration parameters.

It contains an array in which each bit serves as indicator for a specific iteration parameter of this data type. The size of the array depends on the configuration of the plug-in, that is, it depends on the setting for the respective iteration parameter data type in the category Reading Data from PLC Memory.

For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) iteration parameter allocation" is set to 2, the field "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will be added together with the fields "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" and GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1" for the values of the iteration parameters. If the first two bits of "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" are set to 1, the first two recipe values of data type INT will be overridden for the next execution with the values defined in "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" and GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1".

However, if the plug-in configuration defines more than 16 iteration parameter for the data type INT, the bits in the "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" are not enough to indicate for each iteration parameter if the respective value should be used for the next execution. In this case, another field "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W1" will be added. This can then be used for as indicator for the next 16 iteration parameter of data type INT.

GMV_ITPARAM_<TYPE>_<INDEX>

Values for iteration parameters of the data types BOOL, INT, DINT, and REAL.

The symbol of the respective fields is composed of the prefix "GMV_ITPARAM_" followed by the data type and the index of the iteration parameter.

These type of fields will only be added to the PLC memory if the configuration of the plug-in is set accordingly in the category Reading Data from PLC Memory.

For example, if the plug-in parameter "INT (signed 16-bit integer) iteration parameter allocation" is set to 2, two fields for the result values will be added to the PLC memory: "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" and "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1". The field with the symbol "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_0" is used for the value of the first iteration parameter of data type INT and the field with symbol "GMV_ITPARAM_INT_1" is used for the value of the second INT parameter. When requesting a "StartSingleJob" or "StartContinuous" command, the first two bits of "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_INT_W0" will indicate whether these values will be used to override the respective values defined in the recipe.

GMV_ITPARAM_<TYPE>_<INDEX>_W<WORD_INDEX>

Values for iteration parameters of data type STRING[80].

For an iteration parameter of data type STRING[80], 40 register addresses are reserved because it is mapped via a sequence of single WORDS. This means that there are 40 fields for the value of a single STRING[80] parameter. The symbols of these fields are composed similar to the ones for iteration parameters of other data types but with an additional suffix: "W<WORD_INDEX>". The additional suffix is composed of the character "W" and an index number. This index number indicates to which of the 40 WORDS, that is, to which bytes, the respective field refers to.

For example, the symbols of the fields that are reserved for the first iteration parameter of data type STRING[80] are the following: "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W0", "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W1", and so on until "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W39". The first index 0 of all these symbols indicates that the fields refer to the first iteration parameter of type STRING[80]. The second index refers to the respective word within the sequence of singe WORDS. Thus, the field with symbol "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W0" is used for the first two bytes of the first STRING[80] parameter value. The field with symbol "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W1" is used for the third and fourth byte of the first STRING[80] parameter and so on until the field with symbol "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W39" which is used for the last two bytes.

These type of fields will only be added to the PLC memory if the configuration of the plug-in is set accordingly in the category Reading Data from PLC Memory.

For example, if the plug-in parameter "STRING[80] iteration parameter allocation" is set to 2, 80 fields for the result values will be added to the PLC memory: 40 fields for the value of the first STRING[80] parameter ("GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W0" to "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_0_W39") and 40 fields for the value of the second STRING[80] parameter ("GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_1_W0" to "GMV_ITPARAM_STRING80_1_W39"). When requesting a "StartSingleJob" or "StartContinuous" command, the first two bits of "GMV_ITPARAMUSEARRAY_STRING80_W0" will indicate whether these values will be used to override the respective values defined in the recipe.

MERLIC States

When using the MODICON®* plug-in, the internal state of MERLIC is transmitted to the PLC via the field "GMV_CURRENTSTATE".

The byte that transmits the information about the current state is encoded as follows:

Bit field position	Numeric value	MERLIC state	Description
0	1	Preoperational	If this bit is set to 1, MERLIC is in the state "Preoperational".
3	8	OperationalAutomaticMode	If this bit is set to 1, MERLIC is in the state "OperationalAutomaticMode". This means that MERLIC is either in the state "Initialized", "Ready", "SingleExecution", or "StartContinuous":
3, 4	24	Initialized	If the 3rd and 4th bit are set, MERLIC is in the state "Initialized".
3, 5	40	Ready	If the 3rd and 5th bit are set, MERLIC is in the state "Ready".
3, 6	72	SingleExecution	If the 3rd and 6th bit are set, MERLIC is in the state "SingleExecution".
3, 7	136	ContinuousExecution	If the 3rd and 7th bit are set, MERLIC is in the state "ContinuousExecution".
1	2	Halted	If this bit is set to 1, MERLIC is in the state "Halted".
2	4	Error	If this bit is set to 1, MERLIC is in the state "Error".
3, 8	264	OperationalFrontendAccessMode	If the 3rd and 8th bit are set, MERLIC is in the manual mode. This means that MERLIC can be controlled only via the MERLIC Frontend. For more information about the manual mode, see Write Access in the Frontend in the MERLIC manual.

For more information, see MERLIC State Machine.
