KEB COMBICONTROL

3. Software

The units of the series C6 are programmed with the programming system KEB COMBIVIS

Studio 6. There are programmable and parameterizing components.

3.1 Programming system

A device description le as well as different libraries are required for the programming of the

C6 compact. These are already installed during the installation of COMBIVIS Studio 6. If

necessary, they can also be installed later. The use of the library components are explained

in available sample projects.

The connection to C6 occurs via the Ethernet interface X6B. IP address and subnet mask

can be preset via the parameterizing system.

The programming system is provided by inserting an unit of category "Controls (PLC)" in the

project. The IEC program can be loaded and started by inserting a task conguration and at

least one task.

3.1.1 Boot projects

Boot projects are stored as le in drive C: and registered in the runtime system. Then they

are automatically loaded and started when switching on. Maximally 4 applications = 4 boot

projects are possible in the C6 compact. Boot projects can be written directly online in the

control or ofine transmit as le.

Ofine: An additional le "bootproject.ini" is required on drive C: in order that the applications

are registered at ofine operation in runtime system. This le is read, evaluated and deleted at

the next power on start. In this le the names of the boot projects are listed (up to 4) in their own

line. The name is the le name of the boot project (e.g. Application) without extension „.app“.

The le name of the boot project must be exactly written as the name of the

application in the project (case sensitivity). COMBIVIS Studio 6 offers this

already at the generation of the ofine boot project le.

3.2 Parameterizing system

The parameterizing system is provided by inserting an unit of category COMBIVIS 6 units

in the project. Serial, if no running IEC program has access to the serial interface X6A, or

the internal parameters of the runtime system are displayed via UDP port 8001. The node

address is set to 0. Parameters of the connected axes can also be displayed depending on

the node address with running IEC program.
