Configuring the fieldbus
Configurator
Downloading configuration
After making the physical connections of the network, the network needs to
be configured. For each master and its assigned slaves, a configuration has
to be defined using SyCon, a dedicated PC-based configuration program.
The configurator provides the master with information about:
•
The slaves that are connected to the master.
•
The assignment of slaves to groups for broadcast / multicast messages.
•
The mapping of the slaves into the memory of the master.
•
The bus parameters (e.g. baud rate, target rotation time etc.).
For more details about the configurator refer to section 4.
After entering the configuration, it must be downloaded to the master unit. A
serial COM-port of the PC is to be connected to the C200HW-PRM21 via the
prescribed RS-232C cable.
