Precondions
•
Only in
verters of the i900 series are connected to the system bus.
•
A maximum of 16 nodes including the master can be connected via the system bus.
•
No further accessories are connected to the system bus.
•
The inverters are not parameterised as CiA 402 moon drives. Selecon of a technology
applicaon: 40x4000
•
The »E
ASY Starter« does not allow a conguraon of the system bus cross communicaon.
The technology applicaon set in the inverter is not idened.
Details
•
The in
verter can act as a system bus master or system bus slave.
•
The system bus is prepared, i. e. a conguraon is not required.
•
The mas
ter assigns an idencal master value to all system bus nodes (slaves).
•
The »EASY Starter« is sucient ...
•
to parameterise the devices in the network;
•
to congure the process data individually.
