When all requirements are met, perform the commissioning process for each communication
module as shown below.
The following description concerning the parametrisation refers to current
SIGMA CONTROL 2 software versions. Please contact KAESER SERVICE if the settings in
the machine deviate.
8.7.3.2 Commissioning the PROFIBUS module
Machine
1. Open the 8.2
<Communication – Com-Module>
menu.
2. Activate the
Com-Module Start
check box.
The communication module is activated. The system detects the communication module type
and displays it in the
Type
line.
3. Select the data exchange direction:
► SIGMA CONTROL 2 ⇆ Bus master (SIGMA CONTROL 2 sends process data and receives
control data):
Send/Receive
or
Master
: Set
Com-Module
.
► SIGMA CONTROL 2 → Bus master (SIGMA CONTROL 2 sends process data):
Send
or
Master
: Setting
SAM/JSON-RPC
.
For connection to a SIGMA AIR MANAGER:
Send/Receive
or
Master
: Set
Com-Module
.
4. Set the slave address (
Slave No.
:). The permissible address length is between 3 and 126. For
connection to a SIGMA AIR MANAGER: Slave address = compressor number + 102.
5. Set the required reaction in the event of a bus fault (see next chapter, “Reaction in a PROFI‐
BUS bus fault”).
6. Start the communication module with the set parameters. Activate the
Reset
check box.
The communication module is started with the set parameters.
7. Time-out at bus fault is activated.
Bus communication is now monitored.
The number behind
Status Counter (Run
) continuously changes during communication.
Reaction in a bus fault
Only for machines.
After switching on the power supply, the bus alarm can be suppressed for a definable period of
time. The setting depends on the time passing at the bus master between return of voltage and
start of communication via the bus.

parameter
SIGMA CONTROL 2 monitors the bus communication at log level (PROFIBUS). If there is a check
box behind
Communication error
, this monitoring in the
Send
mode can be switched off by deacti‐
vating the check box.
