Description: Users with Experion HS R500 and

ControlEdge PLC Integration SCADA Channels only:
Occasionally when upgrading firmware on a
ControlEdge 900 CPM at the same time as having
the related Experion SCADA controller ‘enabled’,
controller variables are no longer updated in Experion
even after the upgrade is complete and the controller
is in the run state.

Recovery: Disable then re-enable the related

Experion SCADA controller to re-commence
scanning.

Workaround: When using Experion HS R500 with

ControlEdge PLC Integration, it is recommended to
disable scanning of the controller during a 900
1-7PNOZ25 controller firmware upgrade. ControlEdge PLC

Prior to upgrading firmware, perform the following

steps:

1. From Experion Station, navigate to the SCADA

Controller display of the controller to be
upgraded and select to disable the controller.
Experion will stop scanning the controller.
2. From ControlEdge Builder, complete the con-
troller firmware upgrade as documented in the
user guide.
3. Confirm from ControlEdge Builder that the con-
troller is in the Run state.
4. From Experion Station SCADA Controller dis-
play, enable the controller.

Avoiding Divide by Zero Error in the Program

Abstract: In an IEC -61131-3 programming environment like ControlEdge
Builder, it is possible to configure a program that is prone to have divide by
zero errors. If this occurs at runtime, the controller will stop executing the
program. To view the error, connect ControlEdge Builder to the controller and
open the Project Control Dialog in the IEC Programming workspace. The error
button will be red. On clicking it, an error, “Runtime exception! Division by zero”
is shown in the “PLC Errors” tab of the message window.

Consequences: If the divide by zero situation occurs in a running program, the

controller will stop executing. All output channels will go to the failsafe state as
configured in the program. The likelihood of this occurring is dependent on
the programming and if the divisor/s in question are ever likely to return
exactly zero.
Recovery: Cold reboot the controller. This can be performed from the builder
or by removing and restoring power to the controller.
Workaround: When using a divide function in the IEC61131-3 program, ensure
appropriate error checks are included to avoid the divide by zero situation
from occurring.
