Select the PROFIBUS address menu item.
Press the enter button to enter the menu.
Set the desired PROFIBUS address.
Select the Save menu item.
Press the enter button in order to save the set PROFIBUS address.
After saving the PROFIBUS address, the device performs a restart and subsequently displays the bar
code reader menu.
Check the address you have set at the top right of the display.
All other parameters required for the reading task, such as setting the code type and number of digits, etc.,
are set using the engineering tool of the PLC with the aid of the various available modules (see
10.4 Commissioning via the PROFIBUS
10.4.1 General information
The device is designed as a PROFIBUS slave device. The functionality of the device is defined via param
-
eter sets which are clustered in modules. The modules are included in a GSD file, which is supplied as an
integral part of the device. By using a user-specific configuration tool, such as, e.g., Simatic Manager for
the programmable logic control by Siemens, the required modules are integrated into a project during
commissioning and its settings and parameters are adjusted accordingly. These modules are provided by
the GSD file.
10.4.2 Preparing the control system for consistent data transmission
During programming the control system must be prepared for consistent data transmission. This varies
from control system to control system. The following possibilities are available for the Siemens control
systems.
S7
The specific function blocks SFC 14 for input data and SFC 15 for output data must be integrated in the
program. These are standard function blocks and are used to facilitate consistent data transmission.
10.4.3 General information on the GSD file
You can find the GSD file for the respective device model at www.leuze.com.
All data in modules required for operating the device is described in this file. These are input and output
data and device parameters for the functioning of the device and the definition of the control and status
bits.
If parameters are changed, e.g., in the project tool, these changes are stored on the PLC side in the
project, not in the GSD file. The GSD file is a certified and integral part of the device and must not be
changed manually. The file is not changed by the system either.
The functionality of the device is defined via parameter sets. The parameters and their functions are struc
-
tured in the GSD file using modules. A user-specific configuration tool is used during PLC program creation
to integrate the required modules and configure them appropriately for their respective use. During oper
-
ation of the device on the PROFIBUS, all parameters are set to default values. If these parameters are not
changed by the user, the device functions with the default settings delivered by Leuze electronic.
For the default settings of the device, please refer to the following module descriptions.
Permissible values for the PROFIBUS address are 0 … 125. Make sure that you assign a differ
-
ent PROFIBUS address for each PROFIBUS participant
Reception of the input data and sending of the output data are described from the perspective of
the control (IO controller).
