Overview

../_images/24ccc43d2841d9f70a317f34627a8bb9

The display of a processor module is equipped with a background-lighted 7-segment display. This display consists of 6 digits for plain text or error codes.

  • error numbers and information on the error
  • current settings of the processor module

Further, the display can be used for simple configurations such as address modifications.

Display indicators

  • A black square ( 18211c528264de9a0a317d3117b45afa_43b60c57e387e47c0a33139000eba54e ) denotes the state/working activity of the corresponding object on the left/right side of the display. The black square flashes according to the device’s activity, e.g. during data exchange on ETH1, COM1, etc.
  • A black triangle ( 18211c528264de9a0a317d3117b45afa_28447088e387e4ca0a33139000eba54e ) points to the selected item/interface on the left/right side of the display to be configured or read. Further, it acts as a cursor for the count up/count down function keys.

Note

A black triangle ( 18211c528264de9a0a317d3117b45afa_28447088e387e4ca0a33139000eba54e ) at the BATT item indicates a missing or uncharged battery.

The indicators point to the following items on the left side of the display:

No. On the left Side Description
1 <empty item> Cannot be used.
2 SYS (system) Refers to the system status.
3 BATT (battery) Refers to the battery status.
4 I/O bus Refers to I/O bus connection.

The indicators point to the following items on the right side of the display:

No. On the right side Description
5 <empty item> Cannot be used.
  ETH (ETHERNET) Refers to ETHERNET interface or can be left empty.
  ETH1 Refers to the first ETHERNET interface or can be left empty.
  ARCNET Refers to ARCNET connection or can be left empty.
     
6 FBP (FieldBusPlug) Refers to FBP (FieldBusPlug) or can be left empty.
  ETH2 Refers to the second ETHERNET interface or can be left empty.
     
7 COM1 Refers to COM1 interface or can be left empty.
     
     
8 <empty item> Cannot be used.
  COM2 Refers to COM2 interface or can be left empty.
9 Function keys on front panel

The following table describes the different displays of processor modules:

Processor Module Display Variant Description
PM5xx ../_images/dd8f182de387cf180a33139000eba54e Display of a processor module with FBP support.
PM5xx-ETH ../_images/6c3214b1e387ce9b0a33139000eba54e Display of a processor module with FBP and ETHERNET support.
PM5xx-ARCNET ../_images/69b3175ce387cfd30a33139000eba54e Display of a processor module with ARCNET support.
PM5xx-2ETH ../_images/3132e7e5e387cf760a33139000eba54e Display of a processor module with support for 2 ETHERNET interfaces.
     

FieldBusPlug

Note

All 127 FBP addresses can be set with Automation_Builder. On the display only up to 99 FBP addresses can be set.

Attention

:strong:Setting the FBP slave address by LEDs, display and function keys

Though it is possible to set the FBP slave address by using the LEDs, display and function keys, this is not recommended. Direct configuration on the device replaces address configurations defined via Automation_Builder.

If the FBP address (set by Automation_Builder or on the device) is different from the address assigned by the master device for the same station, the station cannot be accessed. The complete fieldbus cannot work properly or is completely down!

A modified address defined on the device is valid not until power OFF/ON of the processor module!

AC500 processor module equipped with FBP is always a slave device on the bus. To act as a master, the processor module should be equipped with a master communication module (e.g. CM592-DP for PROFIBUS DP).
