Configuration¶
Configuration for a Version ≥ 2.4
The following tables describe how to configure a Processor Module manually. Processor Module can be configured in RUN mode or STOP mode, hence this device state is called RUN/STOP mode in the following. By pressing the CFG function key repeatedly, you simply navigate through the statuses of the device.
However, to configure the Processor Module, use the OK, ESC and CFG function keys alternately.
The Processor Module is in RUN/STOP mode. By pressing the CFG function key once, the IP configuration for ETHERNET connection is displayed (IPETH1).
By pressing the CFG function key again, address configuration for ETHERNET connection is displayed (Adr000).
By pressing the ESC function key, menu is aborted. You revert to the RUN/STOP mode.
By pressing the OK function key, submenu for ETHERNET interface is opened. Either a static IP address can be set or a DHCP address is defined automatically.
Example: Setting a static IP address
The following example describes how to set a static IP address for ETHERNET interface with a Processor Module with firmware Version ≥ 2.4.

Setting of the FBP Slave Address on the Device (not recommended)
Note
All 127 FBP addresses can be set with Automation_Builder. On the display only up to 99 FBP addresses can be set.
It is recommended to set FBP slave address by using Automation_Builder software. Neverthless it is possible, however not recommended, to set this address by LED display of the Processor Module.
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.
The FBP must have a properly assigned slave module address. The AC500 CPU gives the FBP an address at system power-up. The address can be set with the use of the LED display and the softkeys on the front panel.
To configure the FBP address, please follow the procedure described below:
First select the item to be configured by pressing the CFG key. The CPU changes to configuration mode and a small triangle is displayed on the LCD on the first right up position of the display beside the ETH inscription and the already configured address is diplayed. |
||
Press one time more the CFG key to select the item FBP. The FBP address is shown and a small triangle is displayed on the LCD beside the FBP inscription. |
||
Press the arrow keys UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the address. The modified value blinks to indicate that it differs from the previously stored one. |
||
Once the desired address is reached, press OK to accept and quit. Or press ESC to exit the menu without saving the changes. The CPU status is then displayed run or Stop. |
or |
Note
The modified address will only be valid after a Power OFF / Power ON.
A Processor Module equipped with a FieldBusPlug is always a slave device on the bus. To act as a master, an AC500 CPU should be equipped with master Communication Modules.
The FieldBusPlug module has to be connected to the master device and the power supply has to be provided. Please use the dedicated accessories to the FBP used for the desired Fieldbus.
