6.17 Configuration of the control head network
The gateway Type ME43 is used as a fieldbus interface between the control heads (Type 8681 büS/CANopen) and
the master controller (EtherNet/IP). Each gateway can communicate with up to 63 control heads of Type 8681 büS/
CANopen.
To set up a network, it is necessary to assign a
unique
device address to each control head (to do so,
use the respective DIP switches - see chapter “6.13.2”).
If there are less than 63 control heads
connected to a gateway, it is necessary to “hide” the non-
existing control heads, namely both the
inputs and the outputs.
There are 2 options to “hide” the inputs and outputs:
via software “Logix Designer” (“6.17.1”) or via the “Bürkert Communicator” Type 8920 (“6.17.2”).
6.17.1 “Hide function” via software “Logix Designer”
→
Start the “Logix Designer”
→
Open the project (e.g. “Logix Designer - Gateway_Type8681”)
→
Open the desired gateway and select the “Parameters” tab
→
Now select the line “Hide Outputs 1-64” and “hide” each non-existent control head by setting a “1” (one) in
each field for the outputs.
→
Now select the line “Hide Inputs 1-64” and “hide” each non-existent control head by setting a “1” (one) in
each field for the inputs.
→
Click on the “Set” button to save it and to transfer it to the gateway
→
After doing these steps,
restart the whole system:
it is recommended to switch off and switch on the cor-
responding power supply unit! The network configuration has then been completed.
