DC551-CS31 and S500 I/O Devices as Slave Modules

If in the device tree, a CS31 bus master has been configured Configuration of CS31 Bus Master, the DC551-CS31 device can be used as CS31 slave.

  1. Right-click COMx_CS31_Bus ‣ Add object.

  2. DC551-CS31 module is available in two versions in the PLC configuration:

    • DC551-CS31 8 DI + 16 DC / without fast counter:

      The addresses 00…61 can be set at the module and in the PLC configuration.

    • DC551-CS31 8 DI + 16 DC + 2FC / with 2 fast counters:

      The hardware addresses 70…99 can be set at the module. This corresponds to the module addresses 00…29 with activated counter. In the PLC configuration and at the block CNT_DC551, the module address (00..29) is set Counter Library: Counter Library

    Select the desired module from the list.

  3. Define the parameters in the Parameters tab.

The following parameters are available:

No Counter

Note

If a DC551 is configured as a Fast Counter module and ‘0 - no Counter’ in the Automation Builder is selected the channel ERR LEDs stays on and the module does not start up. The address was adjusted with ‘71’. Only the‘0- no Counter’ mode does not operate. If any other counter is selected e.g. ‘1-1 Up counter’ the module starts up and can be utilized.

Failsafe Function of CS31 Bus

The setting of the parameter Behaviour of outputs in communication fault directly influences the failsafe function of the outputs of the S500 I/O devices.
