CS31 Bus Extension with CM574-RS Module

Download for CPU Program

The CPU program can be downloaded to the PLC using normal TCP/IP gateway. We recommend you, to use a dedicated CM577-ETH slot for downloading the program to both PLCs. If no CM577-ETH is available, onboard ETHERNET slot can be used. In another case if user has a PLC with more than one onboard ETH port (Example: PM595, PM591-2ETH) the user can use ETH2 port for downloading e.g. the program, webserver, OPC server communication etc. After the download, create a boot project.

For further information, please refer to Example_AC500_HA_CS31_V242_3ADR023070M0201.pdf.

Download for CM574 Program

Download the configuration and program to CM574 via ETHERNET level 2 root driver. The following picture describes the settings of a gateway channel for connection via AC500 CPU. The ETHERNET port uses the IP address 192.168.3.10 with routing to CM574-RS plugged into slot 2 (line 2).

Communication Parameters

The following settings have to be specified:

Address	IP address of the AC500 CPU, in the example: 192.168.3.10
Routing levels	1
Coupler (level 1)	Line 2
Motorola byte order	Yes

After downloading the program, create a boot project. For further information on providing access to CM574, please refer to the online help Programming Access to the CM574-RS: Programming Access to the CM574-RS
