Commissioning
8.4.4
Commissioning and configuration
Commissioning and configuration of the bus node depend on the higher-order control. In the following
section the basic procedure for commissioning and configuration with the ‘Festo Maintenance Tool,
CPX-FMT’ software is explained.
The following steps provide an example for the use of an Allen-Bradley controller and the ‘Rockwell
Studio 5000’ controller software, Version 24, and the ‘Festo Maintenance Tool, CPX-FMT’ software in
English. Detailed information is provided in the documentation for the higher-order controller and the
controller software.
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:
–
IP addresses
–
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.
Festo Maintenance Tool, CPX-FMT
The energy efficiency module can be configured and parameterised with the ‘Festo Maintenance
Tool, CPX-FMT’ software. The configuration with all required settings, such as I/O data length, IP
configuration and module and system parameters are applied and exported into a file. This file is
subsequently opened in the automation project.
The current version of the software ‘Festo Maintenance Tool’ is available on the Festo online portal
Setting up automation project
