Switching on the power supply
If the control and network devices have separate power supplies, they must be switched in the
following sequence:
1. Switch on the power supply of the energy efficiency module.
2. Switch on the power supply for the controller.
Addressing the network
The controller uses the following for addressing:
–
PROFIBUS address, station number
–
Input addresses/output addresses
Basic addressing rules
Bus node:
–
The bus node occupies 0 inputs and 0 outputs if the diagnostics mode is not active.
–
Active status bits occupy 8 input bits.
–
An active I/O diagnostics interface occupies 16 input bits and 16 output bits.
Network:
–
The address assignment of the inputs does not depend on the address assignment of the outputs.
–
Addressing is carried out in bytes.
Device description file, GSD file
A device description file, GSD file, is needed for configuration and parameterisation of the bus
node. The device description file contains all information required to integrate the module into the
higher-order controller.
Device description file
Setting up automation project and controller
1. Start the controller software.
2. Create a new project: ‘File’
>
‘New…’.
3. Enter the project name, e.g. MSE6-E2M_PROFIBUS.
4. Add the controller: ‘Insert’
>
Station, e.g. ‘SIMATIC 300 Station’.
5. Expand the project tree and select the controller.
6. Open the hardware configuration window: ‘Edit’
>
‘Open Object’.
Installing the device description file
1. Open the Festo Support Portal
2. Enter the GSD CPX search term.
3. Select, save and unzip the current device description file on the Software tab.
4. Install the device description file: ‘Options’
>
‘Install GSD File…’. Select the file path of the device
description file: ‘Browse’. Select and install the file: ‘Install’.
5. Update the hardware catalogue: ‘Options’
>
‘Update Catalog’.
Ä
All available CPX modules are shown in the hardware catalogue under:
\PROFIBUS DP\Additional Field Devices\Valves\Festo CPX-Terminal
Setting up automation project and controller
1. Open the hardware catalogue with the ‘View’
>
‘Catalog’ command.
2. Expand the controller in the hardware catalogue, e.g. ‘SIMATIC 300’ and the folder structure.
