IC695CPE400 Rackless CPU w/Field Agent Quick Start Guide
GFK-3002A
Configuration
To configure, the CPE400, connect the computer running the PME programming
software to any of the front-panel Ethernet ports. PME 9.00 SIM 8 or later is required
The CPE400 is the first controller available in the
PACSystems RX3i Rackless
family.
Configuration will either start out using the RX3i Rackless CPE400 template when
creating a new project, or will convert an existing project to the CPE400 using the
Family Conversion
feature in PME.
Backwards Compatibility
To convert an existing project which uses any other PLC, use the
Family Conversion
feature in PME. Be aware of the constraints involved, as will be notified in PME. For
instance, the first PROFINET Controller in an RX3i CPU320 application will be assigned
to the embedded PROFINET Controller feature of the CPE400.
PROFINET Controller Configuration
An Embedded PROFINET Controller may be configured on LAN2. To enable the
PROFINET Controller in a CPE400 project, select the CPE400 target in the
PME
Navigator
(Figure 10) and open the Hardware Configuration. On the
Settings
tab,
change the designated
LAN Mode
of the selected port to
PROFINET
. The
PROFINET
Controller
node description then displays that a PROFINET node exists on the selected
LAN (under the CPE400). For further details, refer to the
PACSystems RX3i PROFINET IO
Controller User Manual,
GFK-2571.
