# 1 Introducing HSL

# 1.1 The HSL System

The HSL is an innovative distributed I/O technology that enables time-deterministic scanning of thousands of I/O points in milliseconds using master-slave architecture. The HSL master board comes in PCI or PMC form factors. The PMC board is used in embedded controllers. By using commercial Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector, you can easily set up the HSL slave modules as close as possible to the sensor devices, reducing wiring effort. Aside from the I/O modules, ADLINK provides the remote motion control module with 4-axis pulse train type. The HSL network suits a variety of machine-making applications as it integrates discrete I/O, analog I/O, thermocouple module, and motion control. This local network delivers rapid response time, time-deterministic scanning and multiple-axis control. With PMC module, you may also integrate the HSL network with embedded solution platforms.

# The HSL system features:

▶ Distributed solution based on PC architecture or embedded platform
▶ Convenient wiring for remote distributed I/O modules, including discrete I/Os and analog I/Os
▶ Space-saving and discrete low-profile U-series form factor
▶ Hundreds of discrete I/O points
▶ Time-deterministic, fast scanning
▶ High-speed data acquisition
▶ Up to 120 axes of remote motion control with two HSL master controller of master board
▶ Motion control features point table management and motion script download to enhance execution efficiency

# 1.1.2 Product Highlights

# High-speed performance

With scanning speed as high as 1000 points per ms, it takes only 1.895 ms for an HSL master to scan all the discrete I/O points of slave modules under 6 Mbps. For example, a distributed control system with 63 slave I/O modules of HSL-DI16DO16-DB-NN with 2016 discrete I/O points can be scanned or updated within 1.895 ms.

# Time-deterministic scanning

The HSL master controller implements a deterministic time period when scanning all slave I/O modules. The total scanning cycle time is exactly proportional to the number of slave indexes. At 6 Mbps, every 30.33 $\mu$ s is added for another slave index. For an HSL system with 30 discrete I/O slave modules (where every discrete I/O module occupies one slave index), the scanning time period is precisely 30 X 30.33 $\mu$ s = 909.9 $\mu$ s. The scan time unit based on transmission rate is illustrated below.

<table><tr><td></td><td>3 Mbps</td><td>6 Mbps</td><td>12 Mbps</td></tr><tr><td>Full Duplex</td><td>60.67 μs</td><td>30.33 μs</td><td>15.17 μs</td></tr><tr><td>Half Duplex</td><td>118 μs</td><td>59 μs</td><td>29.5 μs</td></tr></table>

# Convenient wiring

The HSL master controller connects to all slave I/O modules using Ethernet cables. This dramatically reduces the wiring costs and effort. With Ethernet cables, hundreds or even thousands of I/O data can transmitted between the HSL master and slave I/O modules. The HSL wiring is the easiest and most cost-effective solution to date. For low profile series, you can make the connection by direct wiring.

# Multiple I/O points

The PCI-7853 offers one HSL master controller while the PCI-7854 offers two HSL master controllers. For maximum installation, users can have eight PCI-7853 and PCI-7854 in one system. That means users can have 1512 slave indexes in HSL network system. If choosing all connected modules as HSL-DI16DO16-DB-NN, a total of 24,192 digital input and 24,192 digital output points are supported. For embedded solution, users can choose the PMC-7852/G.

# Easy I/O expansion

Expanding I/O points for centralized configuration requires more I/O boards and available PCI or ISA slots. Problems occur when system needs more I/O points while there are no available slot. In contrast with centralized configuration, the distributed I/O configuration eliminates this limitation of a centralized I/O configuration. With the HSL system, adding more I/O points only requires one more slave I/O module and an Ethernet cable for communication link.

# Self-diagnostic function

The HSL provides a self-diagnostic function that eliminates communication failures. This function continuously monitors the network status while a status register keeps the accumulated slave-no-response count for every individual slave I/O module. Also, the HSL system features the CRC12 to eliminate any communication error.

# Modular design of slave I/O

ADLINK offers a variety of slave module types Including the metal-cased M series, non-metal DB series, and U series for compact systems. The M and DB series require a terminal board for connection. Terminal boards act as carrier of slave I/O module with wiring function. The Ethernet port and screw terminal on the terminal boards make it easier to replace I/O modules without turning and wiring off the system.

# Remote motion control compatibility

ADLINK also offers remote motion control solution based on the HSL network Including the HSL-4XMO-CG-N/P and HSL-4XMO-CD-N/P that could connect up to four axes. The HSL-4XMO-CG-N/P features a general-type interface for use with stepper or linear motors, while the HSL-4XMO-CD-N/P has a D-sub interface. By using a transfer cable, you can connect to specific servo amplifier. You can easily make a distributed control application that includes discrete I/O, analog I/O, and remote motion control.

# Easy to program

Every HSL master card comes with 32 KB SRAM that carries all the I/O status information of the HSL system. The ASIC on the HSL master board communicates with all remote slave I/O modules at fixed scanning period and keeps the most updated I/O status information on the SRAM. You may read and write the data in the 32 KB SRAM on HSL master card through the PCI or PMC bus. You can easily read/write the most updated I/O information and never worry with the HSL protocol.

# 1.1.3 HSL Applications

# HSL as a Distributed PLC

The distributed PLC is an important system in the field of industry automation. Via communication modules, such as RS232, RS485, PLC also performs distributed control. The traditional architecture of distributed PLC application is shown in Figure 1.2. In this setup, the MPC (Monitoring PC) takes over as the medium for data transmission from field to MIS.

![The diagram illustrates a network topology connecting computers to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).\n\n**Blocks:**\n*   **Network:** A horizontal bar at the top.\n*   **MPC:** Two desktop computer setups (monitor and tower) below the network bar.\n*   **PLC:** Five rectangular device blocks. Three are grouped under the left MPC, and two are grouped under the right MPC.\n\n**Connections:**\n*   **Network:** Connects to the top of both **MPC** units.\n*   **Left MPC:** Connects via a vertical line labeled **RS-485** to a bus line. This bus connects to three **PLC** blocks (one to the left, one above, and one below).\n*   **Right MPC:** Connects via two separate lines, each labeled **RS232**, to two **PLC** blocks located below and to the right of the computer.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/15a0cfef12f2be723c4a2b411cde6694010e09760b8e3b7975829bffca6503d5.jpg)

Figure 1-2: Traditional distributed PLC architecture

With the development of communication technology and popularity of networking, networking modules with Ethernet interface became available. This improvement evolved as shown in the architecture below. The medium character of the MPC was replaced.

![The diagram depicts a system architecture with three main sections:\n\n**Top Row (Computer Systems):**\nThree computer setups are shown, each consisting of a monitor and a tower. They are labeled:\n*   **SCADA**\n*   **Web Server**\n*   **HMI**\n\n**Middle Section (Infrastructure):**\nA horizontal grey bar labeled **Network** runs beneath the computers. Vertical lines connect the SCADA, Web Server, and HMI units directly to this Network bus.\n\n**Bottom Row (Controllers):**\nFour separate blocks are arranged below the network. Each block is labeled **PLC**. Vertical lines extend from the Network bus down to connect to each of the four PLC units.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/2da728b2c1e08b02d10b6c7171b0d9c996ff7657818f5b98a0c710c3ef7b2b1f.jpg)

Figure 1-3: Networking PLC

PLCs that are capable of network communications are usually very expansive. And since the PLC is not an open architecture, only hardware vendors are capable of producing it.

The HSL distributed control architecture is illustrated in Figure 1.4. With HSL, there is no need for an extra PC for Ethernet communication. You may use only one IPC to control the entire system.

![Based on the provided image, here is the accurate and concise description of the flowchart:\n\n**Labeled Blocks:**\n*   **IPC**: A large rectangular device on the right side.\n*   **HSL Master**: A label pointing to a specific port or section on the top of the IPC.\n*   **RJ45/10BaseT**: A label above a horizontal line connecting multiple devices.\n*   **Slave I/O Module**: A label with arrows pointing to the smaller rectangular devices.\n\n**Connections:**\n*   A long horizontal grey bar at the top connects vertically to the top of the **IPC**.\n*   The **IPC** connects horizontally to the left side of a line labeled **RJ45/10BaseT**.\n*   Three vertical lines drop down from the **RJ45/10BaseT** line, connecting to three identical **Slave I/O Module** blocks.\n*   A curved line connects the right side of the **IPC** to a **Slave I/O Module** block.\n*   A second curved line connects that first right-side **Slave I/O Module** to a second **Slave I/O Module** block below it.\n*   The label **Slave I/O Module** has an arrow pointing to the third block on the left and another arrow pointing to the first block on the right.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/b923854e39db9118c7ce68dddfd39135c3b7a073144aaec382403be95cd3ea91.jpg)

# HSL as Remote Time-deterministic DAQ

The HSL system, with high-speed performance and deterministic time-deterministic scanning, is also applicable for remote time-deterministic data acquisition.

The time-deterministic characteristic of an HSL system is an important factor when implementing a DAQ application. With an HSL system, all I/O data are refreshed in time-deterministic. The sampling rate (or scan rate) is linearly dependent on the number of slave indexed occupied, ranging from 91 $\mu$ s (less than three slave indexes) to 1.911 ms (63 slave indexes) under 6 Mbps. These two features go with HSL's remote capability to make it suitable for remote DAQ applications, especially when time-deterministic is of utmost concern.

![This block diagram depicts a control system with a central unit and three peripheral modules.\n\n**Labeled Blocks:**\n*   **Slave I/O Module:** There are three identical blocks with this label, arranged horizontally across the middle of the diagram.\n*   **HSL Master:** A larger block located at the bottom center, identified by an arrow pointing to it.\n*   **RJ45/10BaseT:** A label on the far left of the horizontal connection line.\n\n**Connections:**\n*   **Top Inputs:** Vertical lines connect specific input devices to each 'Slave I/O Module':\n    *   The left module connects to two red thermometers.\n    *   The middle module connects to a blue cylinder (resembling a tank or database).\n    *   The right module connects to a hand pressing a red button.\n*   **System Bus:** A horizontal line connects the bottom of the three 'Slave I/O Module' blocks to the 'HSL Master' block.

# 1.4 Technical Information

# 1.4.1 HSL Technology Introduction

Inside an HSL system, a single master controller communicates with multi-slave through a command-response. The master controller sends commands to slave I/O modules for setting output values and requesting input information. Every slave module responds after receiving commands with address ID. The responses may either be to set output according to the received values or to reply requested input information to the master controller.

The illustration below shows the HSL working theory as regards the setting of output values.

Slaves I/O Modules
Figure 1-6: HSL technology brief -1

The teacher (master) sends message “ID.#, your output values are XXX” to all students (slave I/O modules). Every student (with ID.#) then sets its output channels according to the values heard. The values that the teacher announced to the students are written on the blackboard (RAM on master cards), and can be easily modified.

The following illustration shows the working theory for gathering input information.

![This diagram illustrates a master-slave communication process involving memory and I/O modules.\n\n**Labeled Blocks:**\n*   **Memory:** A large rectangular block at the top containing smaller boxes labeled 'NO 1', 'NO 2', and 'NO 45', along with a larger box on the right labeled 'Output value of every slaves'.\n*   **Master:** A central figure labeled 'Master'.\n*   **Slaves I/O Modules:** A group of stick figures at the bottom labeled 'Slaves I/O Modules'.\n\n**Connections and Text:**\n*   An arrow originates from the **Master** figure pointing towards the **Slaves I/O Modules** group.

This connection is associated with the text bubble: 'I, No 45. My input status is ......'.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/27c95cfe3491635e50680de569e5ef2329d8606dc2ba02abcb52c9a82fbca679.jpg)

Figure 1-7: HSL technology brief-2

The teacher (master) sends the message “ID.#, what is your latest input status” to all students (slave I/O modules). Every student (with ID.#) then gives his answer. The teacher writes the answers on the blackboard (RAM on master cards). When someone (user's AP) wants to know the students' answers, he refers to the blackboard. All input information are saved in the memory.

These two procedures take turn and repeat on every slave module. After each cycle, each slave module sets its newest output status and the master gathers all these information from the memory. We simulate the polling communication cycle through a teacher-student conversation:

Teacher: Student No. 1, your output vales are ##, what's your latest input status?

Student No. 1: My input status is ##

Teacher writes the answer on the blackboard.

Teacher: Student No. 2, your output vales are ##, what's your latest input status?

Student No. 2: My input status is ##

Teacher writes the answer on the blackboard.

Until...

Teacher: Student No. 63, your output vales are ##, what's your latest input status?

Student No. 63: My input status is ##

Teacher writes the answer on the blackboard.

The polling cycle is now complete. The process repeats from Student No. 1.)

# 1.4.2 HSL Terminology

In addition to the input/output polling mechanism shown above, here are some HSL-related syntax for your reference.

HSL Master. Master is defined as the teacher in Figure 1.9 and 1.10. The master takes charge of giving commands, including output value announcements and latest input status requests.

Slave I/O Module. Slave I/O modules are defined are the students in Figure 1.9 and 1.10. Slave I/O modules are passive components in an HSL system. They receive commands from the master, then respond by telling their newest input status or by setting output values. The slave I/O modules may take one or two address indexes depending on the I/O module type.

Polling Cycle. When communicating with slave I/O modules, the master takes turn setting the output for and gathering input from every slave module. When all slave modules are updated, a polling cycle is completed. The polling cycle infinitely repeats when the master is working properly.

I/O Refreshing Rate. The time needed to complete an I/O updating cycle. This may also be the longest time needed for any digital I/O channel to obtain its latest status. The refreshing rate is decided linearly by the total number of slaves used in an HSL system, therefore no interference occurs between any two HSL systems or PC/IPC at the same time.

Transmission Speed. May refer to the speed of digital signal transfer or I/O refreshing rate. When referring to the speed of digital signal transfer inside the cable, the transmission speed is known as data rate. The unit of transmission speed is bits per second (bps). The unit of I/O refreshing rate speed is expressed in mini-second (ms).

# 1.4.3 System Configurations

To develop an HSL application, you must know how to configure the HSL cards and slave I/O modules. The following sections describe the configuration concepts for an HSL system. For detailed information, refer to individual chapters.

Master Card Index (card\_ID). You can install one or more HSL master boards in an IPC system. The PCI BIOS assigns the card index for each HSL master board. You need to specify the card index for programming purposes. The card index is starts from 0.

![PCI-7854\nIPC](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/f92f933c83131df52f078b54701590f0b1229670b4e022041c6574253585b7f1.jpg)

Figure 1-10: Multiple master cards in one IPC

Refer to Chapter 2: HSL Master Controller for more information.

HSL Connect Index (connect\_index). The PCI-7853 provides only one HSL master controller (connect\_index=0), while PCI-7854 or PMC-7852/G provides two HSL master controllers (connect\_index=0 or 1). Connect index distinguishes the master controllers.

Ports. Port refers to the RJ-45 connector on the HSL master board. A connector is a loop of wiring that starts from the master card and connects to up to 32 slave I/O modules. There are two ports in one HSL master controller, both carrying the same signals sent from the master.

Slave Index. A complete HSL system is composed of one master and 1 to 63 slave indexes. The following diagram illustrates an HSL system.

![The diagram illustrates a system architecture centered around a central control unit.\n\n**Labeled Blocks:**\n*   **Top Group:** A dashed box labeled **Slave I/O Module (Up to 32 slave modules)**. Inside are three units, each pointed to by an arrow labeled **Slave I/O Module**.\n*   **Center Unit:** A card labeled **Master**.\n*   **Bottom Group:** A dashed box labeled **Slave I/O Module (Up to 32 slave modules)**. Inside are three units, each pointed to by an arrow labeled **Slave I/O Module**.\n*   **Left Label:** A vertical double-headed arrow labeled **Circuit**.\n\n**Connections:**\n*   A thick black cable connects the three modules in the top group in a daisy-chain fashion.\n*   A cable connects the rightmost module of the top group to the **Master**.\n*   A cable connects the **Master** to the rightmost module of the bottom group.\n*   A thick black cable connects the three modules in the bottom group in a daisy-chain fashion.\n*   The **Circuit** label indicates the link between the top and bottom module groups.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/851048f1415771bb337239e13e713023febcc407548df289182a4c44848263d6.jpg)

Figure 1-11: HSL system layout example-serial wiring

Every master circuit can support up to 32 slaves. However, since the slave address is assigned by a 6-bit DIP-switch on the I/O module's termination board with the value '0' reserved, the maximum number of slaves is 63, not 64. The slave I/O modules in an HSL system must have different slave index. Though the slave index may not necessarily continue from 1, continuous addressing is more efficient. When an HSL system has only two slave modules addressed 1 and 63, the I/O refreshing rate is the same with an HSL system with 63 slave modules addressed from 1 to 63.

Refer to Chapter 3: HSL Slave I/O Module for procedures on how to set the addresses of slave I/O modules.

# 1.4.4 Wiring

The HSL network follows a modified RS-422 electrical specification.

# Wiring

The wire cables of an HSL system are carefully selected for installation convenience and standardization without sacrificing communication quality. A 100BaseTX cable with RJ-45 connectors is used on HSL systems.

# Full-duplex RS-422 with multi-drop

The typical RS-422 is not a networking specification. However, HSL modified the specification to suit network applications. The TXD of the master is connected to the RXD of every slave I/O modules, while all TXD of slaves are connected to the RXD of the master. Only the master uses TXD (of master) to RXD (of slave) channel. Through design, only one slave at a time sends message with TXD (of slave) to RXD (of master) channel. This kind of networking solution is called RS-422 with multi-drop.

# Ports

An HSL master supports a 2-port segment. Inside the ports, the TXD (of master) to RXD (of slave) channels are of the same signal sent by master. In contrast, the TXD (of slave) to RXD (of master) channels are isolated from each circuit and signals inside do not pass through the master from one circuit to another.

The diagram below illustrates RS-422 with multi-drop:
![This diagram illustrates a communication network topology.\n\n**Labeled Blocks:**\n*   **Left:** A large block labeled 'Controller' containing two sections labeled 'MASTER 0' and 'MASTER 1'.\n*   **Top:** Two blocks labeled 'Slave I/O module'.\n*   **Bottom:** Three blocks labeled 'Slave I/O module'.\n\n**Connections:**\n*   **From MASTER 0:** A connector block labeled 'RL48' has outputs labeled 'TXD' and 'RXD'. These connect via wavy lines to the two top 'Slave I/O module' blocks.\n*   **From MASTER 1:** A connector block labeled 'RL48' has outputs labeled 'TXD' and 'RXD'. These connect via wavy lines to the three bottom 'Slave I/O module' blocks.\n*   **Inside Slave Modules:** In each 'Slave I/O module' block (both top and bottom), vertical lines labeled 'TXD' and 'RXD' connect to a port labeled 'RJ45'.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/ef9357867b8933c186015ddb528515d4b13623a65a25afaf55bb18f9a5b15dd8.jpg)

Figure 1-12: HSL wiring – RS-422 with multi-drop

There are two RJ-45 notches in each master. Each notch supports one port of wiring.
▶ Only four lines of the RJ-45 cable are used: two for transmission and two for reception.
▶ All slave modules are connected in parallel.
The isolation between connection cable and individual slave I/O modules protects the signals from interference by other slaves.

# 1.4.5 Networking Topology

Base on the RS-422/RS-485 architecture, a variety of topologies are available for an HSL circuit, including serial, multi-drop, star, etc. The following sections illustrate some applicable network topologies for your reference.

# Serial wiring

All slave I/O modules are connected using a twin-head 100BaseTX cables.

![Based on the provided image, here is the accurate and concise description of the flowchart/block diagram:\n\n**Labeled Blocks:**\n*   **IPC**: A computer chassis (Industrial Personal Computer) with a front panel labeled 'IPC'. Inside, there is a specific card labeled **'PCI-7853/54'** and other slots labeled **'Other PCI cards'**.\n*   **2M/160**: A small rectangular module connected to the PCI card.\n*   **16B/160**: A small rectangular module.

The text **'RJ45/10BaseT'** is positioned above this connecting line.\n*   A line extends from the **'16M'** module to the right, ending in a dotted line to indicate a continuation of the chain.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/005924df426bba1de4d469bb820a3cea61b6c20a154a971a0103e2395974ea32.jpg)

Figure 1-13: HSL networking topology – Serial

Since two notches of any slave I/O module's termination board are short circuit, this type of wiring provides the most convenient and intuitive way to form a HSL network. The longest wiring length is 200 m with under 6 Mbps.

# 1.4.6 I/O refreshing rate of an HSL system

The scan time unit for one slave index is set in 3/6/12 Mbps transmission rate. Once the maximum slave address is set, the polling cycle time of the HSL system is using the following formula:

Polling cycle time = maximum-address-of-slave \* scan time unit

<table><tr><td>Maximum address</td><td>Cycle Time under 3 Mbps</td><td>Cycle Time under 6 Mbps</td><td>Cycle Time under 12 Mbps</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>303.33 μs</td><td>151.67 μs</td><td>75.83 μs</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>606.67μs</td><td>303.33 μs</td><td>151.67 μs</td></tr><tr><td>20</td><td>1.213 ms</td><td>606.67 μs</td><td>303.33 μs</td></tr><tr><td>30</td><td>1.820 ms</td><td>910.00 μs</td><td>455.00 μs</td></tr><tr><td>40</td><td>2.427 ms</td><td>1.213 ms</td><td>606.67 μs</td></tr><tr><td>50</td><td>3.033 ms</td><td>1.516 ms</td><td>758.33 μs</td></tr><tr><td>60</td><td>3.640 ms</td><td>1.820 ms</td><td>910.00 μs</td></tr><tr><td>63</td><td>3.822 ms</td><td>1.911 ms</td><td>955.50 μs</td></tr></table>

Table 1-5: Polling cycle time of HSL (Full Duplex Mode)

Note: Regardless of the transmission rate you select, the minimum polling cycle time is 3×scan time unit, even when the maximum address is less than 3. Refer to Appendix A.

# 1.4.7 Communication error handling

The HSL communication protocol is designed to eliminate any error, there may be some chances of communication errors such as light striking, sudden off-line, etc. In an HSL system, the master holds an accumulated slave-no-response count for every individual slave I/O module. The count value is updated for each slave module in every polling cycle.

▶ If communication with certain slave I/O module is successful, the no-response count value for this slave is set to 0.
▶ If the communication failed, the no-response count value increases by 1.
▶ When the count is larger than or equal to 3, a binary flag indexing communication error is set to True.
The maximum value of no-response count is 7. The value is retained even if the error continues to occur.

The no-response count value and the communication error flag status may be obtained by software function call. These error handling data are also returned every time the user wants to set or get the I/O values.

In addition, the HSL, through a software communication error-handling driver, supports a self-diagnosis function that detects off-line or out-of-communication slave modules. In a programmed period of time (default 20 ms), the master sends an IRQ to trigger the driver to check the slave's no-response count value. If the count value is 7, the driver informs the system that the slave module is off-line.

# 1.5 Software Support

# 2.5 Software Architecture Description

The PCI-7853/PCI-7854/PMC-7852/G comes with one or two HSL master ASICs that control the HSL communication. The purpose of communicating with HSL I/O modules is to gather input data from or set output value to them. To achieve this purpose, each HSL master controller manages a 2Kbyte SRAM on PCI-7853/PCI-7854 boards for data storage.

For every polling cycle, the master refreshes all input data from the I/O modules and sets the latest output data to the I/O modules. The SRAM keeps these data for the software drivers to read/write I/O information.

# 2.6 Installation

# 2.6.1 Hardware Installation

The PCI-7853/PCI-7854 is a plug and play device, with the system BIOS automatically assigning the interrupt channel and memory mapping address. You only need to adjust the SW1 to the desired transmission speed. For PMC-7852/G, refer to GEME user manual for details.

# 2.6.2 Software Installation

Refer to chapter 4.1.

# 3 HSL Slave Module

The HSL is a master-slave network system that features an innovative distributed architecture that modularizes the communication, I/O functions and signal termination. ADLINK provides a complete line of slave I/O modules and terminal bases including discrete I/O, analog I/O, and motion control to meet your application requirements. For motion control modules, refer to the HSL-4XMO user's manual.

Slave I/O Module. There are three groups of slave I/O modules with varied dimensions. The slave I/O modules provide the terminal base with different levels of I/O capability. To identify each slave I/O module in an HSL network, an electronic data sheet is embedded in the module, and each module is identified by an address ID configurable via the 6-bit DIP switch. Depending on the I/O support, each slave I/O module may be assigned one or two address IDs. Since the highest ID number in an HSL master is 63 (6-bit and '0' reserved for master), up to 63 slave I/O modules are supported in one HSL master.

Terminal Base. Offers an easy wiring media. Both power and signal wiring go from the terminal base to the slave I/O modules. Also, master links to all slave I/O modules via the terminal base using an RJ-45 cable. The TB makes the slave I/O modules hot-swappable without interfering other modules in the same HSL network.

HUB/Repeater. Provides sub-system support for various network topologies.

Wiring Cable. The cables connecting the HSL master and slave I/O modules are standard 100 Base/TX with RJ-45 connectors. These are exactly the same with commercial Ethernet cables.

# 3.4 Managing Slave Index in an HSL Network

# 3.4.1 Before you proceed

Before powering on the slave modules, you have to adjust the DIP switch. For more information, refer to section 3.1.6. Take note of the following:

1. A master controller can connect up to 63 slave indexes. For example, the PCI-7852 has two master controllers. Therefore, it supports a maximum 126 slave indexes.
2. The more compact the slave addresses are in an HSL network, the greater efficiency.
3. Observe the discrete I/O and relay module rule.

<table><tr><td>Module</td><td>Slave Index Occupation</td><td>Transmission Mode</td><td>Transmission Speed</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-M-NN/NP/PN/PP</td><td rowspan="8">1 (Any address)</td><td rowspan="12">Full Duplex (Fixed)</td><td rowspan="12">6 Mbps (Fixed)</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-DB-NN/NP/PN/PP</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-R8DI16-M-N/P</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI8-L-N/P</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DO8-L-N/P</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI4DO4-L-NN/NP/PN/PP</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16-UL</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-UJ/US</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI32-M-N/P</td><td rowspan="4">2 (Consecutive from odd number)</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI32-DB-N/P</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DO32-M-N/P</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DO32-DB-N/P</td></tr></table>

4. Observe the analog I/O and thermocouple module rule.

<table><tr><td>Module</td><td>Slave Index Occupation</td><td>Transmission Mode</td><td>Transmission Speed</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-AI16AO2-M-VV</td><td rowspan="3">2 (Leap number)</td><td rowspan="3">Full Duplex (Fixed)</td><td rowspan="3">3/6/12 Mbps Selectable</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-AI16AO2-M-AV</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-AO4-U</td></tr></table>

# 5. Special rules

▷ If you will install only one HSL-AI16AO2-M-VV or HSL-AI16AO2-M-AV and the DIP switch is set to 1 (HSL-AI16AO2-M-VV/AV only supports full duplex mode), the occupied indexes will be 1 and 3. You must assign the parameter “max\_slave\_No” of HSL\_start(...) as 4 to ensure correct communication. You may ignore this rule when using the HSL\_auto\_start function.
If you will install only one HSL-4XMO-CG-N/P or HSL-4XMO-CD-N/P and the DIP switch is set as to 1 and full duplex mode, the occupied indexes will be 1, 3, 5, and 7. You must assign the parameter "max\_slave\_No" of HSL\_start(...) as 8 to ensure correct communication. You may ignore this rule when using the HSL\_auto\_start function. In half duplex mode, these modules occupy 1, 2, 3 and 4. Therefore, you must assign the "max\_slave\_No" of HSL\_start(...) as 4 or call the HSL\_auto\_start function.

# 3.4.2 Examples

The following examples are provided for user reference. All modules used are set in full duplex mode.

# Example 1

Provided you installed two HSL-DI16DO16, two HSL-DI32-M-N, and an HSL-AI16AO2-VV with all slave modules in full duplex mode, you can have two conditions as follows:

Condition 1: HSL-AI16AO2-VV operates at 6 Mbps.

We recommended that you use the provided slave index configuration.

<table><tr><td>Item</td><td>DIP Switch</td><td>Index Occupation in HSL</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI32-M-N #1</td><td>1</td><td>1, 2</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI32-M-N #2</td><td>3</td><td>3, 4</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-AI16AO2-VV</td><td>5</td><td>5, 7</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16 #1</td><td>6</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16 #2</td><td>8</td><td>8</td></tr></table>

This is an example of a compact composition. The scan time needs 30.33 $\mu$ s x 8 at 6 Mbps, full duplex mode. Users can connect the modules with one master controller.

Condition 2: HSL-AI16AO2-VV operates at 12 Mbps.

We recommended that you use the provided slave index configuration.

<table><tr><td>Item</td><td>DIP Switch</td><td>Index Occupation in HSL</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI32-M-N #1</td><td>1</td><td>1, 2</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI32-M-N #2</td><td>3</td><td>3, 4</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16 #1</td><td>5</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16 #2</td><td>6</td><td>6</td></tr></table>

Another example of a compact composition. The scan time needs 30.33 $\mu$ s x 6 at 6 Mbps, full duplex mode. You may connect these modules with one master controller. The HSL-AI16AO2-M-VV module connects to another master controller. The DIP switch of

HSL-AI6AO2-M-VV is assigned as 1. Because of the special rule, users have to assign the "max\_slave\_No" of HSL\_start(...) as 3 or call HSL\_auto\_start by connect\_index #1. The illustration below explains this.

Consequently, the cycle time of the first master controller is $30.33\mu s \times 6$ and the cycle time of the second master controller is $45.5\mu s$ at 12 Mbps, full duplex mode.

# Example 2

Provided you installed two HSL-DI16DO16-UJ, one HSL-DI16DO16-M-NN, two HSL-DO32-M-N, one HSL-AI16AO2-VV, and two HSL-4XMO-CG-N with all slave modules in full duplex mode, you can have the following conditions:

Condition 1: The HSL-AI16AO2-VV and two HSL-4XMO-CG-N operate in 6 Mbps.

We recommended that you use the provided slave index configuration.

<table><tr><td>Item</td><td>DIP Switch</td><td>Index Occupation in HSL</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-4XMO-CG-N #1</td><td>1</td><td>1, 3, 5, 7</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-4XMO-CG-N #2</td><td>2</td><td>2, 4, 6, 8</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DO32-M-N #1</td><td>9</td><td>9, 10</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DO32-M-N #2</td><td>11</td><td>11, 12</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-AI16AO2M-VV</td><td>13</td><td>13, 15</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-UJ #1</td><td>14</td><td>14</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-UJ #2</td><td>16</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-M-NN</td><td>17</td><td>17</td></tr></table>

The scan time needs 30.33 $\mu$ x 17 at 6 Mbps, full duplex mode. You can connect these modules with one master controller.

Condition 2: An HSL-AI16AO2-VV and two HSL-4XMO-CG-N modules operate at 12 Mbps.

We recommended that you use the provided slave index configuration.

<table><tr><td>Group 1</td><td>DIP Switch</td><td>Index Occupation in HSL</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DO32-M-N #1</td><td>1</td><td>1, 2</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DO32-M-N #2</td><td>3</td><td>3, 4</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-UJ #1</td><td>5</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-UJ #2</td><td>6</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-DI16DO16-M-NN</td><td>7</td><td>7</td></tr></table>

The scan time needs 30.33 $\mu$ s x 7. You may connect these modules with one master controller. The HSL-AI16AO2-M-VV and two HSL-4XMO-CG-N modules connect to another master controller. The management table below is for reference.

<table><tr><td>Group 2</td><td>DIP Switch</td><td>Index Occupation in HSL</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-4XMO-CG-N #1</td><td>1</td><td>1, 3, 5, 7</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-4XMO-CG-N #2</td><td>2</td><td>2, 4, 6, 8</td></tr><tr><td>HSL-AI16AO2-M-VV</td><td>9</td><td>9, 11</td></tr></table>

# 5.3 Timer Control

# @ Name

HSL\_enable\_timer\_interrupt (7851/52 only) – Enable timer interrupt of master card

HSL\_disable\_timer\_interrupt (7851/52 only) - Disable timer interrupt of master card

HSL\_set\_timer (7851/52 only)—Set the resolution of timer

HSL\_set\_int\_timer (7853/54 only) – Set the timer parameters

HSL\_set\_int\_timer\_enable (7853/54 only) – Enable\Disable timer interrupt of master card( 7853/54 only)

HSL\_wait\_timer\_interrupt (7853/54 only) – Wait timer event

# @ Description

HSL\_enable\_timer\_interrupt (7851/52 only):

Enables the hardware timer interrupt of the master card.

HSL\_disable\_timer\_interrupt (7851/52 only):

Disables the hardware timer interrupt of the master card.

HSL\_set\_timer (7851/52 only):

This function sets up Timer 1 and Timer 2. Timer 1 and Timer 2 are used as frequency dividers to generate a dedicated constant timer interrupt sampling rate. The highest timer interrupt sampling rate of the master card may not exceed 20 KHz on Windows NT platform because of system limitation. The following example is set at 6 Mbps:

If you want to have a sampling rate of 15 kHz, the function must be

HSL\_set\_timer (0, 20, 20)

If you want to have a sampling rate of 1.2 kHz, the function must be

HSL\_set\_timer (0, 100, 50)

The formula used is:

Transmission speed / (c1 x c2)

In addition, the values of c1 and c2 must be greater than 1. When c1=0 or c2=0, the timer interrupt stops.

HSL\_set\_int\_timer (7853/54 only):

Sets up the Timer parameter p1. The timer is used as frequency divider to generate a dedicated constant timer interrupt sampling rate.

$$
\text { The   formula   is:   Frequency(Hz) } = \frac {4 8 M H z}{2 5 6 \cdot (p 1 + 1)}
$$

HSL\_set\_int\_timer\_enable (7853/54 only):

Enables or disables the hardware timer interrupt of this master card.

HSL\_wait\_timer\_interrupt (7853/54 only):

Waits for the specific interrupt when you enabled the interrupt function by HSL\_set\_int\_timer\_enable() and set the timer parameter p1 by HSL\_set\_int\_timer(). When this function is running, the process never stops even if it is triggered or the function has timed out. The following codes illustrate this function.

```c
I16 ret;
HSL_set_int_timer(0, 0xffff); // set the parameter p1
HSL_set_int_timer_enable(0, 1); // enable the timer

for(int i = 0; i &lt; 10; i++)
{
    ret = HSL_wait_timer_interrupt(g_cardId, 10000);
    if(ret == 0)
    // do something...
    else
    // time out
}
```

# @ Syntax

# 6 How to Program with HSL Function Library

This chapter describes how to create a program with HSL C library using a flow chart. The C library supports Windows and Redhat Linux platforms.

# 6.1 Programming with HSL DLL

The programming flow chart illustrates the program creation with HSL DLL.

![The flowchart begins with a block labeled **HSL_initial**, which points downward to a block labeled **HSL_start or HSL_auto_start**. This block branches into three parallel paths leading to three separate blocks: **DI/O Operation**, **AI/O Operation**, and **Motion Operation(*)**.\n\nAn orange box labeled **Scan in loop** with left and right arrows is positioned over the first two operation blocks. Dashed lines extend downward from the bottom of all three operation blocks and converge into a single path. This path leads via a solid arrow to a block labeled **HSL_stop**, which finally points downward to the terminal block labeled **HSL_close**.](.hsl-ai16ao2-m-vv-av-manual-4/7471776b7a3f4fca997647a515c76b8b5c5a95226870e2dcf652e208b3569d02.jpg)
