Commissioning
6.1
Preliminary considerations
This manual contains important information required to operate the IDENTControl Compact
unit with Ethernet interface. Due to the wide variety of programming options in an Ethernet
network, we are unable to include examples relating to commissioning in this manual.
One important aspect of the operation of an extended identification system on the Ethernet is
the time response of the overall system. The answer to the question "How long after the
positioning of a tag in front of a read/write head will the read data be available in the computer
or PLC?" depends on many different factors.
The most important factors that determine the response time are:
■
Nature of the higher-level host system, e.g. PLC or PC
■
Communication between the client and server.
■
Network utilization.
■
Number and nature of connected read/write heads.
■
Code / tag types used.
■
Nature of access to the communication objects of the read/write head.
■
Nature of the commands to the read/write head.
■
Structure of the user program.
If you are planning larger projects or gaining basic experience in programming an Ethernet-
based system, we recommend constructing a model of your application before installing the
system in the plant. Use this model to test the process of data transfer to the identification
system.
6.2
Connection
When the supply voltage is connected and the device is initialized, the "PWR/ERR" LED lights
up green. The LED flashes green during initialization. The LED lights up red if a device fault
occurs.a Profinet name is not assigned or there is no Profinet connection
6.3
Device Settings
You must set the various parameters prior to commissioning.
Caution!
Uncontrolled triggered processes
Before commissioning the device, make sure that all processes are running smoothly;
otherwise damage may occur in the plant.
Warning!
Incorrect electrical connection
Incorrect connections may damage the system.
Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the system of communication between the
Ethernet controller and the read/write station. Check all connections before commissioning.
Warning!
Device not configured or configured incorrectly
Configure the device prior to commissioning. A device that has not been configured or
configured incorrectly may lead to faults in the plant.
