Commissioning the Leuze device
To commission a read station, you must prepare the Leuze device on the MA 258
i
for its
reading task. Communication with the Leuze device occurs via the service interface.
Notice!
For further information on connecting and using the service interface, see chapter 9 "Con-
figuration".
To do this, connect the Leuze device to the MA 258
i
.
Depending on the Leuze device, this occurs either via a connection cable (accessory no.:
KB 031-1000) or directly on the MA 258
i
. The service connector and corresponding
switches can be accessed with the housing cover open.
Select the "DEV" service switch position.
Connect the service interface; call up the terminal program
Connect your PC to the service connector via the RS 232 cable.
On the PC, call up a terminal program (e.g., BCL-Config) and check whether the interface
(COM 1 or COM 2) to which you have connected the MA 258
i
is set to the following Leuze
standard setting: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and STX, data, CR, LF.
You can download the config. tool from
for BCL, RFID, etc.
In order to communicate with the connected Leuze device, the
STX, data, CR, LF
framing
must be set on the PC terminal program, as the Leuze device is preconfigured ex works for
this frame character.
STX (02h):
Prefix 1
CR (0Dh):
Postfix 1
LF (0Ah):
Postfix 2
Operation
Switch the MA 258
i
to switch position "RUN" (operation).
The Leuze device is now connected to the fieldbus. Activation of the Leuze device can now
occur via the switching input on the MA 258
i
, via the process data word Out bit 1 (bit 0.2)
or by transmitting a "+" command to the Leuze device (see chapter 16 "Specifications for
Leuze end devices"). For further information on the fieldbus transmission protocol, see
chapter 10 "Telegram".
