5. Block Setting
This chapter contains information on how to adapt the function and performance of the RAMC to suit specic
applications. If two or more devices are connected to PROFIBUS PA, settings including the requirements of
all devices need to be determined. The following steps must be taken.
The following section describes each step of the procedure in the order given. Using a dedicated congura-
tion tool allows the procedure to be signicantly simplied. This section describes the procedure to be
assigned for a master which has relatively simple functions.
5.1 Parameters and Initial Settings
The block parameters of the RAMC are listed and described inside the Appendix 1 “List of parameters for
each block of the RAMC”. The initial parameter settings are also described there. Block parameters can be
read and set (if writeable) from the host.
5.2 Physical Block (PB) Parameters
All important Physical Block parameters are listed below and described with more details to guide through
the settings.
TARGET_MODE:
Indicates what mode of operation is desired for the Physical Block. Two block modes are available:
• Out of Service (O/S)
• Auto (AUTO)
MODE_BLK:
The sub-parameter “Actual” indicates the actual mode which is one of the target modes. The actual mode
may differ from the target mode (e.g. affected by block mode setting of Physical Block).
• Out of Service: The copying of the DIAGNOSIS and DIAGNOSIS_EXTENSION parameter content to
the PROFIBUS DP Slave_Diag service is stopped.
NOTE
In case of O/S the target mode of the AI Block is set to O/S too.
• Auto: Block function is set to active.
WRITE_LOCKING:
This parameter allows the protection of the Device setting (see also chapter 4.4):
• “0”: Lock
• “2457”: Disabled
FACTORY_RESET:
Using the Factory reset changes the setting of the device. The following different resets are available:
• “0”: No Function.
• “1”: Factory Reset. Sets all parameters to default settings. Bus address is not affected.
Note: Chapter 4.2 needs to be considered.
• “2506”: Warm Start. Restart the device. All non-volatile parameters remain unchanged, all dynamic
parameters are reset to their defaults.
• “2712”: Reset Address to 126. Other parameters are not affected.
COND_STATUS_DIAG:
This parameter allows changing of status and diagnosis handling:
• “0”: Classic Status and Diagnosis
• “1”: Condensed Status and Diagnosis
