About This Manual
Modification Record
The following modifications have been made in comparison to
previous editions:
Application
The XC600 PLC is designed for the control of machines and
systems. This controller provides the basis for an extensive
automation system, using interfaces for the standard networks
PROFIBUS DP, CANopen and ETHERNET to connecting remote
expansion modules and intelligent devices.
Content
The documentation for the PLC is divided into 6 sections:
• Hardware and engineering
• Connecting the PC to XC600
• Creating an example project
• Functions of the operator modules
• Menu overview of the operator module
• Diagnostics.
The chapter “Hardware and engineering” provides information on
the installation and engineering of the PLC as well as on the
possible PLC settings.
In order to communicate with the PLC, the PC must be connected
to it via the Ethernet network. The configuration of the Ethernet
module and the XC600 is described in the chapter “Creating the
connection between PC and XC600” from page 24 onwards.
Use of the XSoft software is then illustrated using a simple
example. This shows you how to configure and program the
controller. After you have downloaded the project you can then
test it as described in
a chapter “Creating an Example Project”
on page 27.
The program can be started or stopped via the operator module of
the PLC. These functions, as well as how to use the operator
module, are described in the chapter “Functions of the Operator
Module” from page 37 onwards.
chapter “Menu overview of the operator module”, from page 45
onwards, illustrates the structure of all the menus and the
individual menu items.
In chapter6 the diagnostic features of the local XI/ON Bus, the
PROFIBUS DP and the CANopen Bus are displayed and explained
using an example.
Please note the information in the Appendix also, in particular the
following topics:
• Behaviour of the variables during the switch-on process of the
XC600.
• Web server function for the XC-CPU601-E4M-XV: How the
program which starts the Web server is called.
• XSoft: Handling of tasks and new functions.
