3.2.2 Methods of parameterisation
Method Description Advantages Disadvantages
Parameterisation via
configuration data
(Configuration As
sembly) (è 3.2.3)
Export of CPX terminal
parameterisation by
using CPX-FMT.
Import of the settings
in the “Studio 5000”
software.
Convenient transfer of
the complete configura
tion for a CPX terminal.
–
Parameterisation with
the CPX-MMI operator
unit (è 3.2.4)
Parameterisation via
menu-driven entries.
Convenient paramet
erisation via the menu
navigation (clear text).
Parameterisation of
the CPX terminal is
saved locally in the bus
node and is lost when
replaced.
1)
Parameterisation in the
PLC user program
(è 3.2.5)
Parameterisation via
Explicit Messaging.
Parameters are saved
in the PLC.
Parameters are re
loaded after every re
start and are therefore
also retained if the
device is replaced.
User program required
Parameterisation using
CPX-FMT and system
start with saved para
meters (è 3.2.6)
Parameterisation via
menu-driven entries.
Parameters are saved
directly in the bus
node.
Start with saved para
meters necessary.
Fast, simple paramet
erisation during com
missioning for testing
the parameters.
Parameterisation of
the CPX terminal is
saved locally in the bus
node and is lost when
replaced.
