4.1.5.1 Hardware Configuration
Before the parameter setting a target device must be configured with the required system el-
ements:
• Master control element
• Protocol elements
• Peripheral element
─ I/O modules
Note
The firmware codes of the corresponding system elements must exist in the target device.
You find an overview of the available system elements and I/O modules and their technical
specification in the SICAM CMIC System Description.
The configuration takes place with the tool “OPM II” via the menu items Tools |
Systemtechnik and Tools | Library Overview .
By dragging the system elements of the system SICAM CMIC from the Library Overview onto
the respective target device in the system technique, the corresponding system elements are
added with default parameters.
With use of I/Os, the higher-level peripheral element must be configured at first. After that you
can drag I/O modules onto the peripheral element and assign signals to the respective
I/O module (system technique).
Note
The slots for the internal I/O modules are predefined in the parameter-setting:: IOM0: DO-8203, IOM1:
DI-8100.
For the external I/O modules, the slots IOM2 … IOM7 are available.
When deleting an I/O module, all the assigned signals (hardware pins and software data
points) are then deleted from the plant tree.
The changed hardware configuration must be converted with the tool “OPM II”, menu
Destination systems | SICAM 1703 transformer , and subsequently transmitted to the
target device with the tool “Load parameters”, to become effective.
During startup the target device checks if the mechanically installed I/O modules match the
parameterization.
Note
The configuration in the "OPM II" must match the mechanically installed I/O modules.
If you remove an I/O module mechanically, you must delete it also in the "OPM II". If you do not adapt the
configuration in the "OPM II", the target device detects this I/O module as failed (error indication).
If you add an I/O module mechanically without adapting the configuration in the "OPM II", this has no ef-
fects. In this case, the added I/O module is ignored.
