5. CONFIGURATION
5.1. General Information about Configuration Software ICP 100
The e.bloxx A6-2CF can be configured with the Configuration Software ICP 100. This software includes all functions to
set the module parameters like baud rate, measurement rate, etc. and to define the input and output functions like the
type of measurements and the processing of the measured values.
The Configuration Software ICP 100 also includes a function to display measured values in real-time. There are also
several software packages from other companies that are adapted to the specific measurement tasks.
In the Configuration Software ICP 100 the three register cards "Info", "Variable Settings" and "Module Settings" will be
displayed if you are configuring an e.bloxx A6-2CF that is not online and also the additional register card "Measure"
when configuring an online e.bloxx A6-2CF.
- On the register card "Info" several module information will be displayed.
- On the register card "Measure" the channel values of the online e.bloxx A6-2CF will be displayed in real time.
- On the register card "Variable Settings" the different channels of the e.bloxx A6-2CF can be configured. This will be
done in the Variable Settings Table being displayed on this register card.
- On the register card "Module Settings" different general settings like the baud rate, address, etc. can be defined for
each e.bloxx A6-2CF.
This manual only gives a brief description on how to set up and configure an e.bloxx A6-2CF. A detailed description of
all the functions of the Configuration Software ICP 100 is included in the help function of the software.
Note:
To activate all changes of settings in an e.bloxx A6-2CF they first have to be loaded into the e.bloxx A6-2CF.
Therefore the menu item
Send to Module
or
Send to Module as...
in the menu
File
or the corresponding
button ( ) in the icon bar has to be selected.
5.2. Setting Address and Baud Rate of an e.bloxx A6-2CF
Before a control (PLC) or a computer (PC) can interchange data with an e.bloxx A6-2CF via the bus, address and baud
rate of the e.bloxx A6-2CF have to be defined. The following points have to be taken into consideration in this connection:
- All devices have to be adjusted to the same baud rate.
- The same address may not appear twice in the bus topology.
The setting variants for the bus parameters for e.bloxx A6-2CF are:
Bus Parameter ASCII Protocol MODBUS Protocol LOCAL-BUS Protocol PROFIBUS-DP Protocol
Address 1 ..... 127 1 ..... 127 1 ..... 127 1 ..... 126
19,200 bps 19,200 bps 19,200 bps 19,200 bps
38,400 bps 38,400 bps 38,400 bps -
