2.3.1 Methods of parameterisation
You can parameterise a CPX terminal with CPX-FB32 various
methods. The following table and the following sections
provide an overview of the methods.
Methods and description
Advantages Disadvantages
1. Parameterisation via
configuration data
(“Configuration Assembly”)
Depending on the control software,
parameter s can be enter ed manu all y
or conveniently via the menus.
– Parameters are loaded
automatically after Power
On and are therefore
retained if the CPX terminal
is replaced
– Parameters must be
entered individually
1)
2a. Parameterisation via software
2b. Paramete risation with the
Handheld
Parameterisation is carried out with
entries via the menus
– User-friendly
parameterisation via the
menus (plain text)
– Parameterisation is saved
locally in the CPX terminal
and is lost if the terminal is
replaced.
1)
3. Parameterisation via the PLC
application program
Parameterisation is carried out
within the user program in the
PLC/IPC via “Explicit Message”.
– Parameterisation is saved
in the PL C
– Parameters are loaded
automatically after Power
On and are therefore
retained if the CPX terminal
is replaced
– Explicit Message
programming required
4. Parameterisation with EDS files
via configuration program
The parameters are set via the
configuration program and
transmitted directly to the
EtherNet/IP station.
–Fast,simple
parameterisation during
commissioning for testing
the parameters
– Not available with all
Ethernet/IP masters
– Parameterisation is saved
locally in the CPX terminal
and is lost if the terminal is
replaced.
2)
1)
With the help of the CPX-FMT and the function L5K Expor t, the complete configuration of a
CPX terminal for RS Logix5000 c an also be prepared automatically.
2)
The current parameter settings c an be copied with the help of the Handheld.
