CPUM card configurations
CPUM CARD DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND CONFIGURATION FILES
• Using an Ethernet communications link to download files from the CPUM card, edit the
files locally using a text editor on the computer, then upload the files to the CPUM card.
For example, an FTP session using FileZilla Client and Notepad++ (a text editor).
For information on Ethernet communications links and the tools used, see 4 Setting up an
Ethernet connection, 5 Ethernet communications with a VM600 rack, 6 CPUM Configurator
and 7 Terminal emulation. For information on serial communications links and the tools used,
see 3 Serial communications with a VM600 rack.
In general, serial communications is only used with a networked VM600 rack in order to
discover the IP address of the CPUM card. Because once the IP address of a CPUM card
(VM600 rack) is known, the management of networked VM600 racks can be more easily
achieved using Ethernet-based communications such as:
• The CPUM Configurator software running on a computer (see 6 CPUM Configurator).
• A terminal emulation session on a computer running Midnight Commander on the CPUM
card (see 7 Terminal emulation).
2.6 CPUM card configurations
CPUM cards are typically supplied pre-configured with the configuration specified at the time
of ordering using the ordering number (PNR) and particular option code.
NOTE: A VM600 rack is usually fully configured in the factory before delivery so that it can
be employed as is. That is, if no other configuration is specified, a VM600 rack is
supplied with a ‘standard’ Modbus configuration as described in 2.6.1 Standard
configurations.
For information on other configuration possibilities, including customer-specific
configurations, contact Meggitt Sensing Systems.
2.6.1 Standard configurations
If no other configuration is specified, a CPUM card is supplied with a ‘standard’ Modbus
configuration that features:
• Default IP addresses: 10.10.56.56 for the primary network interface (ETH1) and
10.10.56.156 for the secondary network interface (ETH2).
• Default NTP configuration: local synchronisation (that is, the CPUM uses an internal
clock as a time reference).
• Default Modbus configuration: standard register mapping for MPC4 and AMC8 cards in
slots 3 to 14 of the VM600 rack.
NOTE: A complete list of Modbus starting addresses as an Excel
®
spreadsheet is
available from Meggitt Sensing Systems on request.
• No configurations for any other cards in the VM600 rack.
NOTE: The ‘standard’ Modbus configuration includes support for Modbus but PROFINET
is not included by default. For information on PROFINET configuration possibilities,
see 10 Setting up a PROFINET connection (CPUM firmware version 081 or later).
