An external computer can also get historical time tagged (log) data from the ABB Master sys-
tem using the function ‘data subscription’. An historical time tagged data subscription may only
be of type ‘demand’ (single shot).

computer is used to continuously controls a process part. The advantage of DSC (compared to
order) is that, if the data does not appear in a cycle time in the database in ABB Master, the
application software (PC program) can interlock the process or continue by using default data. It
is also possible to inform the operator in the ABB Master system that the object is handled by an
external computer.
The cycle time for data transfer between ABB Master and external computer is determined by a
parameter in the MasterPiece database.
3.2.1.3 Order
With the function ‘order’ an external computer can control and change parameters for objects in
the ABB Master system. (Object may be of type Analog Input, Analog Output, etc). Objects
which are continuously controlled by external computers should be handled by the ‘DSC’ func-
tion.
External computers can control the following objects in the ABB Master system with the func-
tion ‘order’ :
• Analog input
• Analog output
• Digital input
• Digital output.
The following attributes can be changed for different object types:
Analog input : Value

3.3.1 Functions
1) Symbolic name translation from a Control network to other Control networks or Computers
in Plant network is under user control, i.e. the function is activated by the operator on the
MasterView 800 or the Advant Station 500 Operator Station in the Control network.
2) A MasterAid connected to a MasterGate 230/1 is a member of the Plant network. This
means that it can access all Control networks.
4.1 Hardware
The MasterGate 230/1 units are installed in a VSH 200 cubicle. Cubicles are available for dif-
ferent environment conditions, (sealed, ventilated, tropical or sealed with heat exchanger).
4.2 Software
The basic software is from MasterBase SW*2.5 which includes :
Kernel Database accessor
MasterNet EXCOM
Clock synchronization
Chapter 5 Installation
The foundation to which the MasterGate 230/1 is secured should be rigid and as free from vibra-
tion as possible. The cubicle must be effectively grounded for functional and safety reason.
Space should be left in front and above the cubicle as follows :
• 0.7 meters in front of the cubicle to permit opening of the hinged frame
• 0.5 meters above the cubicle to ensure adequate ventilation.
Chapter 6 Performance
Maximum 50 messages per second may pass one MasterGate 230/1 (valid when GCOM multi-
drop is used).
Each MasterPiece can handle a maximum of 5 messages per second to/from the own
MasterGate 230/1.
With the function ‘data subscription’, an external computer can work (at the same time) against
up to 300 objects. Of those max 30 can have cycle time 3 seconds and the remaining must have
cycle time 9 seconds or be of type ‘demand’.
Example of messages are :
• One data subscription request with 1-16 objects
• An answer on a request which can contain of 1-48 objects depending on the object type
and access type
• One DSP (with up to 24 values( a value can be one integer, one real or 32 boolean))
• One order.
An answer on data subscription request for historical time tagged data (TTD) consists of up to
7 messages.
If the external computer only uses the DSC function, it can send/receive 24x50 = 1200 values
per second (1200 (integer/real) or 38400 (boolean) object values).
If the external computer only uses the function ‘data subscription’ and all values are logged and
stored as historical time tagged data in the MasterPiece. Then the external computer can request
for 402 values in one TTD request. The answer is received in 7 messages. The external comput-
ers then receives maximum (50/(7+1))402 = 2500 values per second.
The MasterGate 230/1 will delay a signal between the ABB Master system and the external
computer with maximum 20 ms.
