5.2 Configuring the encoder with Automation Studio V. 4.1 from B&R
In this manual some screenshots are shown to explain how to install and
configure the encoder in a supervisor. In the specific example the development
environment is Automation Studio V. 4.1.4.402 from B&R; it is used in
combination with the X20CP1584 PLC from B&R. Therefore, the information on
the installation of the XDD file, the assignment of the IP address and the device
name, the configuration of the encoder in the network, topology, diagnostics,
etc. will always refer to the aforementioned development tools. If you need to
install the encoder using a different configuration tool, please read and follow
carefully the instructions given in the documentation provided by the
manufacturer.
Lika Electronic POWERLINK encoder documentation is
complete with an
example project
supplied free of
charge. This program is designed to make your own
project planning, programming, communication and
diagnostics with the Automation Studio V. 4.1
development environment user-friendly and reliable. For instance it allows to
execute the following functions: setting the Preset value and execute it; saving
the parameters; download the default parameters (refer to page 52 and
following). You can find it in the
SW_Hx58x_PL_Example.zip
compressed file.
5.3 MAC address
The MAC address is an identifier unique worldwide.
The MAC-ID consists of two parts: the first three bytes are the manufacturer ID
and are provided by IEE standard authority; the last three bytes represent a
consecutive number of the manufacturer.
NOTE
The MAC address is always printed on the encoder label for commissioning
purposes.
The MAC address has the following structure:
Bit value 47 ... 24
Bit value 23 ... 0
10
B9
FE
X

X
Company code (OUI)
Consecutive number
The MAC address can be read next to the
NMT_InterfaceGroup_0h_REC.InterfacePhysAddress_OSTR
object.
