Installation and Commissioning

Requirements for Commissioning
Before commissioning the multi-input/output device (MIO), ensure that the following
requirements are met:
■
For acyclic communication/parameterization: A suitable FDT frame application is in place
in order to parameterize the MIO via a PROFIBUS DP master. The device type manager
(DTM) needed to run in the FDT frame application can be downloaded from Internet under
www.pepperl-fuchs.com. Refer to the release notes of the DTM for information on the
frameworks that are supported. The release notes are included in the FieldConnex
®
DTM
package.
■
For cyclic communication/configuration: A process control system (PCS) is prepared to
configure cyclic user data exchange via a PROFIBUS DP Master Class I.
■
The PROFIBUS master is connected to a PROFIBUS DP segment. No DP slaves need to
be available at the DP segment.
■
A PROFIBUS PA segment is connected via a Segment Coupler.
■
The bus terminations at both ends of the PROFIBUS PA segment are mounted or
switched ON.
■
A MIO device is installed at the PROFIBUS PA segment.

Parameterization and Configuration Procedure
Use the FDT frame application with the device type manager (DTM) to parameterize the
device. Parameterization is an "acyclic" communication, i. e., read/write data is read from or
stored on the device as needed. This also means that once set in the DTM, the parameters are
kept even if the device is put into operation at a later point.
Use the following checklist when commissioning the device. Skip those steps you have already
completed. For detailed information on how to proceed, refer to the chapters mentioned.
Parameterization (hardware and software):
1. Set a fixed valid PROFIBUS address 0 ... 125 via the DIP switch of the device or set the
address 126 (default setting) for assignment of the address via the configuration or param-
eterization tool. For more information, see chapter 3.2.4 or see chapter 10.3, and see
chapter 10.4.
2. Set the parameters for the devices in your project, e. g., PROFIBUS ident number, de-
scription parameters. For more information see chapter 3.3 and see chapter 10.3/see
chapter 10.4.
3. Set channel-related parameters. For more information, see chapter 8.
4. If needed, activate the hardware or software write protection to protect the parameters
from overwriting. For more information, see chapter 3.2.4 or description of user interface
no. 8, see chapter 10.2.3.
Configuration:
1. Log on to the DP master.
2. Select the GSD file to be used (manufacturer-specific, profile-specific). For more informa-
tion, see chapter 3.2.
If necessary, install the respective GSD file.
Note!
Automatic Mode
By default, the device is set to "Automatic" mode: In the process of establishing cyclic
communication, the device checks if one of the supported ident numbers is set. If so, the
device automatically uses that number.
