Parameterisation
3.7.1
Introduction to parameterisation
The CPX terminal is supplied with factory-preset parameters (default parameterisation).
The system characteristics of a CPX terminal and of individual modules and channels can be parameter
ized individually. A distinction is made here between the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
System parameters
Global system functions for the
complete CPX terminal
Module parameters
Module and channel-specific functions
of the respective module
Diagnostic memory
Operating method of the diagnostic
parameters
memory
Tab. 3.9
A detailed description of the individual parameters as well as basic principles of applica
tion can be found in the CPX system description (è P.BE-CPX-SYS-...).
Which parameters stand for the modules used are found in the description for the re
spective module.
Caution
If the Modify-LED (M) lights up permanently, the parameterisation is not stored locally in
the bus node and is not restored automatically by the higher-order system upon re
placement.
In these cases, check before replacement to see which settings are required and
carry out these settings.
Changes in parameterisation or application-specific parameter settings result in
changes to the module or system behaviour.
Check especially when replacing CPX terminals to see which settings are necessary
and make sure that these are restored, if necessary (e.g. by appropriate system-
start parameterisation).
Warning
The connected actuators can move unexpectedly!
Modification of the signal statuses and parameters can trigger dangerous movements of
the connected actuator technology.
Make sure that nobody is in the positioning range of connected actuators, and be
very careful with the parameterisation or manipulation of signal statuses.
Always note the instructions relating to "Force", "Idle Mode"and "Fail Safe"in the
CPX system description (è P.BE-CPX-SYS-...), in the description for the CPX-MMI
(è P.BE-CPX-MMI-1-...) and in the online help for the CPX-FMT.
