Configuration
This section contains information on how to adapt the function and performance of the
FVP110 to suit specific applications. Because two or more devices are connected to
Fieldbus, settings including the requirements of all devices need to be determined.
Practically, the following steps must be taken:
1. Network design - Determines the devices to be connected to Fieldbus and checks the
capacity of the power supply.
2. Network definition - Determines the tag and node addresses for all devices.
3. Definition of combining function blocks - Determines the method for combination
between each function block.
4. Setting tags and addresses - Sets the PD Tag and node addresses one-by-one for each
device.
5. Communication setting - Sets the link between communication parameters and function
blocks.
6. Block setting - Sets the parameters for function blocks.
“Network Design” on page 90 describes each step of the procedure in the order given.
Using a dedicated configuration tool allows the procedure to be significantly simplified. This
section describes the procedure to be assigned for a host which has relatively simple
functions. For operation of the host, refer to the instruction manual for each host. No details
of the host are explained in the rest of this material.
Connecting a Fieldbus configuration tool to a loop with its existing host
can cause communication data scrambles resulting in a functional
disorder or a system failure.
If the power is turned off within 40 seconds after setting is made, the
modified parameters are not saved and settings return to original values.
