3.1.3 Configuration with CPX-FMT
With the “Festo Maintenance Tool” software (CPX-FMT), it is
possible to export the configuration and complete paramet
erisation of a CPX terminal to a file and then import the file
into the controller as a project.
This section describes the transmission of the configuration file
to a controller from Allen-Bradley with the help of the “Stu
dio 5000” software (V 26.01.00) from Rockwell Automation.
The fundamental aspects of this description also apply for
other control systems.
Exporting a configuration from CPX-FMT
The Festo Maintenance Tool (CPX-FMT) software is available in
the Festo Support Portal (è www.festo.com/sp).
1. Start CPX-FMT software.
2. Make sure that an Ethernet connection exists between
CPX-FMT and the CPX terminal.
3. Activate the online function to transfer the current config
uration of the bus node to the PC.
4. Change the configuration and parameterisation for the
CPX terminal with CPX-FB36, if necessary.
The CPX terminal can also be configured offline. Changes are
also possible after importing the project in the “Studio5000”
software.
