Configuration
7.4.1
Configuration via the configuration connection of the EFI gateway
In order to configure the EFI gateway via the configuration connection you require:
CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software) on CD-ROM or from www.sick.com
PC/notebook/programming device with Windows NT 4/2000 Professional/XP and a
serial interface (RS-232). PC/notebook/programming device not included in the scope
of delivery
serial connecting cable to connect the PC and configuration connection at the EFI
gateway
(see “
While configuring please use the online help of the program.
To connect the CDS via the configuration connection to the EFI gateway:
Connect the configuration connection at the EFI gateway to the serial interface of the
PC/notebook/programming device.
Start the CDS.
The connected devices can be recognised and displayed using the CDS.
7.4.2
Configuration via PROFINET IO
You need the following to configure the EFI gateway via PROFINET IO:
an Ethernet connection
How to connect the CDS to the EFI gateway via Ethernet:
Connect the Ethernet connection on the EFI gateway to your Ethernet.
Start the CDS.
You can enter the Ethernet address manually You can also start an automatic scan.
How to connect the CDS to the EFI gateway via the TCI interface:
Set the PROFINET name and the IP settings using your network planning tool.
Open the CDS from the device context menu e.g. for the hardware configurator for the
SIEMENS SIMATIC Manager.
7.4.3
Setting the PROFIsafe address
The EFI gateway must have a PROFIsafe address so that it can be operated as a PROFIsafe
station. The PROFIsafe address must agree with the corresponding setting in the hardware
configuration program of the FPLC.
To set the PROFIsafe address in the EFI gateway:
Start the hardware configuration program.
There read the value of the parameter
F_Dest_Add
in the PROFINET IO configuration of
the EFI gateway.
Enter the read value as the PROFIsafe address in the CDS.
The PROFIsafe address is transferred to the configuration of the EFI gateway.
