Execute the CFB Control command (parameter 7, restart) sequentially for all W500 modules, and then perform the same restart for all W600 modules.
Then execute the CFB config command sequentially for all modules.
Example (two W500 and one W600):
text
XOB 16
CFB Control BAW500_0 7
CFB Control BAW500_1 7
CFB Control BAW600_0 7
All modules have been restarted and completed
CFB config BAW500_0 W5Conf_0
CFB config BAW500_1 W5Conf_1
CFB config BAW600_0 W6Conf_0
EXOB
This can avoid excessively long individual waiting times.
6.2.8 Unsupported modules
All PCD4.H_ series modules (such as counting modules) are not supported by PCD4.U100. If these modules are used in the system, they must be replaced with the corresponding modules of the PCD2/3 platform (such as PCD2. H110) or the system design must be changed.
Software version and activation requirements
PG5 1.4: Requires version 1.4.300 and patch 15 or higher installation.
PG5 2.0: Requires 2.0.150 SP1 or higher.
Activation Tool: In PG5 2.0, the activation tool must be run to enable FBox/FB support for PCD4 I/O.
The activation tool can be downloaded from the Saia support website. After operation, the standard I/O FBox and HVAC FBox can be used for the PCD4 module.
Migration Summary and Best Practices
Backup original project: Fully backup PG5 project before modification.
Confirm module list: List all PCD4 I/O modules, remove unsupported H series, and plan replacement solutions.
Select addressing mode: If a new I/O module needs to be added, select the address offset 256 mode and recalculate all I/O addresses.
Modify user program: Update the NOP delay, W500/W600 initialization, and XOB processing in the IL code according to the above guidelines.
Add startup delay: Even if FB is updated, it is recommended to keep a 2-second delay during cold start to be compatible with all situations.
Test validation: Conduct testing in offline or small-scale environments to confirm that all I/O points respond correctly and communication is normal.
Document update: Update system drawings and address allocation table for future maintenance.
