13.4.3 Assigning a pre-defined name

The positions 1 - 9 of the rotary switch assign a pre-defined name to the device. The name

has the format "ComBricks-x" where 'x' corresponds to the selected digit of the rotary

switch.

For example, in position 4 the module has the following device name: "ComBricks-4". The

name is read during startup of the module; changing the rotary switch during operation

does not change the device name.

The PND-001 module can be included in a PLC project with the GSDML as any other PROFINET device. After the

module has been set up with a name, you can start configuring it in the network with the configuration tool of

the PLC. Refer to the manual of the supplier of your configuration tool for instructions for that tool.

This example, a typical ComBricks setup with remote I/O, is built up as follows (see Fig. 92).

Fig. 92 - Example configuration for Remote I/O

The first slot is occupied by the PND-001 module, and next to it are an 8DO and Relay module.

Open the PROFINET Controller configuration tool and insert/import the PND-001 GSD with filename "GSDML-

V2.25-PROCENTEC-ComBricks PND_001-20120831.xml" (download it from www.procentec.com/gsd).

Then insert the correct modules into the configuration tool. Drag the following device into the configuration:

'Head Station+PND-001(SLOT 01)'. Make sure that this slot corresponds with the physical slot of the PND-001.

See Fig. 93.

Next, insert the correct modules into the configuration tool. In the 2

slot place a 8DO-24V-0.5A, and the last

module is the 4RO-230V-5A.

Fig. 94 shows the complete configuration for this ComBricks system.
