Gantner Instruments Test & Measurement GmbH
Adjustment via bus by means of the Configuration Software ICP 100:
The address and baud rate of an e.bloxx can be set in the Configuration Software ICP 100. On the dialog box "Module
Information" the address and baud rate of the actual e.bloxx is displayed. After changing these settings, the new
settings have to be loaded into the e.bloxx in order to take effect. To do this the menu item
Send to Module
or
Send to
Module as...
in the menu
File
or the corresponding button (
) in the icon bar has to be selected.
Notice:
The address 0 is provided for the PC in case of a transmission via PROFIBUS-DP. This address can
therefore not be assigned to the e.bloxx. Also the address 127 is reserved for broadcast transmission in the
PROFIBUS-DP protocol and may only be assigned for these cases.
5.3. e.bloxx
Settings
On the register card "Module Settings" the following settings of an e.bloxx can be defined.
-
Location:
Description of each e.bloxx.
- User Name:
Possibility to enter the name of the person that has configured the module.
- Config. Date:
Displays the date of configuration.
- Address:
Address of the online e.bloxx. Will only be displayed if e.bloxx is online.
-
Protocol:
Bus
protocol
that is used for communication between PC and e.bloxx. Will only be displayed if
e.bloxx is online. In the configuration software ICP 100 only the LocalBus protocol is displayed.
Nevertheless all the protocols mentioned in chapter 2.2 are available and the e.bloxx uses the
required protocol automatically.
-
Character
Format:
Determines the number of data, parity and stop bits for transmission between PC and e.bloxx. Will
only be displayed if e.bloxx is online. With the e.bloxx the character format is fixed to 8E1.
- Answer Delay:
Determines how long an e.bloxx will wait before it sends an answer to a host request.
- Timeout:
A timeout means that there is no communication with the module during the time period that is set
here. All host-controlled functions (output via the Digital and Analog Output Variables and the
Setpoint Variable) can be defined to pass into a safe, definable status. As soon as the communi-
cation recommences, the values are assumed again, depending on the configuration.
- Special Data:
If a special program (firmware) is loaded in the e.bloxx it may need some special data that can be input
here.
After changing some of these settings, the new settings have to be loaded into the corresponding e.bloxx, so they can
take effect. Therefore select the menu item
Send to Module
or
Send to Module as...
in the menu
File
or the
corresponding button (
) in the icon bar.
