Default Settings in the PLC Configuration \ for PM57x, PM58x and PM59x

Once you have selected the AC500 CPU (PM57x, PM58x or PM59x) in the target settings, the CPU can be configured. To do this, select the object “PLC Configuration” in the “Resources” tab.

In case of a new AC500 project, the PLC configuration for PM57x, PM58x and PM59x contains the following default settings:

Note

These default settings can be restored at any time by selecting “Extras” / “Standard configuration”. Do not change the default settings under “Settings”! As of PS501 version V1.2, the parameter “Automatic calculation for addresses” is no longer editable.

The parameters represent the interfaces of the AC500 controllers. Each interface can be configured.

The individual parameters are used to configure the following elements:

Element	Configuration
CPU parameters	CPU parameters.
I/O bus	Input/output modules that are directly connected to the CPU.
Interfaces	Serial interfaces COM1 and COM2 and FBP slave interface.
Communication Modules	Parameters and protocols of the internal Communication Module and the external Communication Modules. The real Communication Module configuration (ARCNET excluded) and the configuration of the connected input/output modules is done with the integrated fieldbus configurator SYCON.net.

The PLC configuration is based on the configuration files (*.cfg) installed with the TSP.
