Changing the device name
1. Stop PROFINET communication if it is active.
2. Select
Fuchs WCS
from the list of nodes and click on
OK
.
3. In the field
Assign device name
, enter the device name for the interface module. Click on
Assign Name
.
The interface module is given the name you entered and can then be uniquely identified
by the PLC.
4. In the WCS module
Properties
window, enter the new device name and save the
configuration.
The PLC will recognize the name of the device and will be able to communicate with it.
Depending on your application, select one, two, three, or four connected WCS readers and the
operating mode. When in the "only Position" operating mode, the WCS readers output their
position. In the "Position and Speed" operating mode, the WCS readers output their position
and the speed at which they are currently moving.
Regardless of the number of WCS readers, 1 byte is reserved for querying the diagnosis of the
WCS readers in the master. For the response data, 4 bytes are reserved per WCS reader in the
"only Position" operating mode (configuration data for 4 WCS readers: 0x20, 0xD1, 0xD1,
0xD1, 0xD1). In the "Position and Speed" operating mode, 6 bytes are reserved per WCS
reader (configuration data for 4 WCS readers: 0x20, 0xD2, 0xD2, 0xD2, 0xD2).
Note!
The PLC must not communicate with the device via PROFINET while you are changing the
device name. An error message will be output if you try to change the device name while the
plant is in operation.
Note!
An LED on the device can be made to flash using the configuration tools. If you have a number
of WCS-PNG210 interface modules on the network, this function will enable to you to uniquely
identify each device. Select the device from the list of Ethernet modules and click on
Flash
.
The "State" LED on the relevant WCS-PNG210 interface module will start to flash.
