2.2 Bus configuration
General instructions on commissioning
Configuration of the CPX terminal demands a very accurate
procedure, as different configuration specifications are
sometimes necessary for each station on the EtherNet/IP due
to the modular structure. Note here the specifications in the
sections which follow.
2.2.1 Registering station properties in the configuration program
When you place a new EtherNet/IP stati o n into operation for
the first time, you must inform your configuration program
about certain features of the station.
The properties of the various stations are managed by the
configuration program usually in a list or library,
e.g. “EDS library” (EDS for electronic data sheets).
The following options are available for expanding an EDS
library:
– Installing EDS files The EDS file is used only for
identification of the CPX-FB32 in the network.
– Enter station properties manually (only by using the
parameter setti ngs set at the factory).
