Commissioning
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 read heads and
the operating mode. When in the "only Position" operating mode, the WCS read heads output
their position. In the "Position and Speed" operating mode, the WCS read heads output their
position and the speed at which they are currently moving.
Regardless of the number of WCS read heads, 1 byte is reserved for querying the diagnostics
for the WCS read heads in the master. For the response data, 4 bytes are reserved for each
WCS read head in the "only Position" operating mode (configuration data for four WCS read
heads: 0x20, 0xD1, 0xD1, 0xD1, 0xD1). In the "Position and Speed" operating mode, 6 bytes
are reserved for each WCS read head (configuration data for four WCS read heads: 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-PNG410 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
Flash
. The
"State" LED on the relevant WCS-PNG410 interface module will start to flash.
