5.2 Configuration
This section describes how to configure the module and associated
components and applications.
NOTICE
Ø

è
Changes are applied after a reset or start of the operating mode without
any further confirmation.
ð
If you want to reset all values, use the function "Reset to factory

116] Please note that all previous settings made will be lost.
Configuration using the CDI
To configure the Modul and put it into operation using the CDI, you
need a PC or notebook with a serial interface (RS-232) or USB/serial
adapter. Make sure that the adapter drivers are installed.
Communication with the CDI (Configuration and Debug Interface) of
the module takes place using a terminal program (e.g. PuTTY for
Microsoft Windows®).
TIPP!:
Das CDI is suitable for configuration during the development
and for diagnostic purposes. To configure several modules
automatically, we recommend performing the settings with Modpoll.
You can find an introduction and example of this in the Appendix
Configuration via Modpoll [
}
134].
Configuration using the SDI
The COMS-Modul has a UART interface with 3.3 V logic levels. Your
main board must convert these lines to standardised RS-485 signals
so that Modbus/RTU devices can access these. Conversion to
standardised RS-232 signals is generally necessary for
communication with a PC. The base board of the evaluation board
has both interfaces that can each be selected via jumpers.
Configuration using the SDI requires a Modbus master device.
One of the following devices is suitable for this:
– Master computer,
– Control panel,
– Programming device,
– SPS with the possibility of Modbus-RTU communication.
To communicate with the SDI of the module using a PC, you need
Modbus software (e.g. Modpoll).
