2.3.1 Methods of parameterisation
Methods and description
1. Parameterisation via
configuration data
("Configuration Assembly")
Depending on the control software,
parameters can be entered manually
or conveniently via the menus.
2a. Parameterisation via software
2b. Parameterisation with the
Handheld
Parameterisation is carried out with
entries via the menus
3. Parameterisation via the PLC
application program
Parameterisation is carried out
within the user program in the
PLC/IPC via "Explicit Message".
4. Parameterisation with EDS files
via configuration program
The parameters are set via the
configuration program and
transmitted directly to the
EtherNet/IP station.
1)
With the help of the CPX-FMT and the function L5K Export, the complete configuration of a
CPX terminal for RSLogix5000 can also be prepared automatically.
2)
The current parameter settings can be copied with the help of the Handheld.

You can parameterise a CPX terminal with CPX-FB32 various
methods. The following table and the following sections
provide an overview of the methods.
Advantages
– Parameters are loaded
automatically after Power
On and are therefore
retained if the CPX terminal
is replaced
– User-friendly
parameterisation via the
menus (plain text)
– Parameterisation is saved
in the PLC
– Parameters are loaded
automatically after Power
On and are therefore
retained if the CPX terminal
is replaced
– Fast, simple
parameterisation during
commissioning for testing
the parameters
Disadvantages
– Parameters must be
entered individually
– Parameterisation is saved
locally in the CPX terminal
and is lost if the terminal is
1)
replaced.
– Explicit Message
programming required
– Not available with all
Ethernet/IP masters
– Parameterisation is saved
locally in the CPX terminal
and is lost if the terminal is
2)
replaced.
