Create a new Project

  • Open Hilscher Sycon.net

Add Devices

  • On the right side of the netDevice Window, the device catalogue can be accessed.

Add Profinet IO Controller

  • select "PROFINET IO → Master → CIFX RE/PNM V3" (if there is an older Firmwareversion in use, use CIFX RE/PNM) and drag and drop it to the grey Bus-line.

Add netField Device

Import netFIELD Device Description File

  • Import the GSDML, provided for the netField devices by selecting Options → "Network → Import Device Description"


  • select the correct protocol and open the GSDML File


  • The Device catalog will now be reloaded. After that, the device is available as Profinet IO "Slave" in the Device catalog.

Insert netFIELD Device

  • select "PROFINET IO → Slave → netFIELD", in the device catalog and drag and drop it to the Green PROFINET line.



  • If the device is not shown in the device catalogue, select "Network → Device Catalog..." and click "Reload Catalog" or completely restart Sycon.net.

PROFINET IO Device Settings

Add Modules to netFIELD Device

  • Double-click the netFIELD Device in the netDevice window to open Configuration window.
    In the Navigation Area, select "Modules".

  • Add one module and and select "8-Bit IO Link Master", to the Device Module List (Slot 1).


  • Replace Submodule 2 with "IOL-Display IFM E30391".

  • The Submodule Details, show the I/O data provided by the IO Link Dveice IFM E30391.
    It is always displayed from the perspective of the IO Controller, which means that the shown OUTPUT data, are INPUT data in the perspective of the IO Device.

  • save your settings with "Apply" and close the window with "OK".

PROFINET IO Controller settings

  • Double-click to the CIFX PROFINET IO Controller, to open the CIFX PNM Configuration.

Device Assignment

  • open "Driver" in the Navigation Area and select "CIFX Device Driver".

  • now open the Device assignment, and scan for devices.
    Select the CIFX Device, to be configured.



If there has been a for another protocol downloaded to the CIFX Card in a previous configuration, the device may only be shown when "Device selection" is set to "all".




  • Save your selection with "Apply".

Licensening

  • When using the CIFX Card as an PROFINET IO Controller, a Master license is needed.
    In the Navigation Area, open "Licensing", to check is a Master license is available on the CIFX Card.

Set IO Controller IP-Adress

  • In the Navigation Area "Confiruation → Controller Network Settings", the IP Adress for the IO Controller can be set.
    All Slaves need to be set to the same Subnet.

Define netFIELD IO Device Name of Station (Devicename)

  • Open in the Navigation Area "Configuration → Device Table.
    The Device table shows all Slaves, added to the Profinet line.

  • In the Device table the name of Station for each device can be changed. Make sure, it is the same assigned to the Device.
    The default Name of Station for netFIELD Device is always "netfield" but can be changed using a DCP Tool (for example the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool).
    The name defined in the IO Controller Settings, always need to fit the Devices configuration.

Define netFIELD IP-Address

  • Since in PROFINET the IP-Addess of all slaves are defined at communication startup by the IO Controller, the IP-Address of the IO Device need to be configured in the IP Address Table of the IO Controller.

  • Therefore open in the Navigation Area "Configuration → IP Address Table" and set the IP Address, which should be assigned to teh netFIELD IO Device.


Address Table

Download configuration to PLC

  • After the configuration has been finished, it only needs to be downloaded to the PLC.
    Therefore select the PLC in the Network view and click "Download to Device".


  • Search for new devices in the upcoming window and select the corresponding PLC.
    Apply with "Load".


  • check all needed actions, to overwrite the current PLC configuration.
    Apply with "Load".


  • After the Download has been finished successfully, the following window appears:


Diagnosis

  • After starting the Communication, the PLCs Status LEDs should now show the following:

RUN/STOP 

ERROR

MAINT


  • Use the function "Go online", to see the current diagnosis.

  • In the Network View, now the Devices can be checked for Diagnosis.

  • The Device view, shows the Status of each module.

Testcase: IO Link IFM Module removed

  • In case the IO Link Module has been removed from the netFIELD Device, the PLCs Status LEDs nows show the following:

RUN/STOP 

blinking ERROR

MAINT


  • The Network view shows the following:


  • The Device view indicates an issue with a Submodule in Slot 1:


  • By double-clicking on the Symbol , the Diagnosis for this Submodule opens.
    It shows, that the device is not reachable.

  • No labels
