With the operating voltage switched on, no gateways are allowed to be disconnected from the Flexi Classic system or added by plugging in.
Configuration of the gateway — which data are transferred The UE410-EN3 processes the data of a UE410-EN3 Flexi Classic system and makes them available in different compilations, the data sets for the PLC. The configuration steps in this section are used to define which data sets are transferred to the higher-level PLC.

Flexi Classic Gateways The installed Flexi Classic modules are recognised automatically and listed in the Flexi Chassis Configuration field. Modules of the next Flexi Classic generation that are not yet recognised by the UE410-EN3 are listed as “Unknown Module”. The corresponding front and the data structure of the module can be displayed by clicking a module.

Note system administrator. It can be read out in the administration pages of the DHCP server. Alternatively the software tool Flexi Classic IP-Link can be used. This scans the network for Flexi Classic modules and registers their IP addresses. Device name Device serial number as well as the device MAC address allow unique identification of the device.
Configuration of the gateway — which data are transferred The UE410-EN processes the data of a Flexi Classic system and makes them available in different compilations, the data sets for the PLC. There are 6 data sets available to this purpose: Data sets 1-5 contain fixed data compila- tions, Data set 6 can be configured by the user.

After resetting the UE410-EN back to the factory settings, all modules are displayed as Note “Unknown Module” until a hardware reset of the entire Flexi Classic system has been carried out (see section “Resetting to factory settings” below). In order to use Data set 6, click Set 6. The following web page is displayed and shows the current compilation of Data set 6: Click Configure Set 6, to compile the user defined data record.

– If a DHCP server is used to assign an IP address, the new address is unknown to the system administrator. It can be read out in the administration pages of the DHCP server. Alternatively the software tool Flexi Classic IP-Link can be used. This scans the network for Flexi Classic modules and registers their IP addresses.
STEP 2 — Add the gateway to the project In order to have the Flexi Classic system data available in the PLC process image, the gate- way must be added to the hardware configuration first. The procedure associated with this depends on the hardware configuration program of the PLC being used.

Assign the device name to the gateway. Select PLC > Ethernet > Assign Device Name. The Assign device name dialog opens. From the Assign device name dialog, find and select the SICK gateway that you wish to assign the device name to in the list.
10.4.1 Cyclic data The physical Flexi Classic IO modules are not represented as typical hardware modules in the PROFINET IO hardware catalogue. Instead, the data available from the Flexi Classic system has been organized into data sets. Each data set represents a “hardware” module in the PROFINET IO hardware catalogue.
10.4.2 Acyclic data — record read Flexi Classic system diagnostic data is available as data record to be read by the PLC. There are two data sets, data set 5 and data set 6, providing diagnostic information. For a detailed description refer to Tab. 116 and Tab. 117 below.

124 bytes. The minimum length is 0 (no data selected). This must be taken into account in regards to the size of the record read in the PLC. The selected data are transferred for all Flexi Classic modules respectively. The data are zeroed for modules that do not exist.
Alarms can be read acyclically through the PROFINET IO alarms infrastructure. Once any Flexi Classic module faults, the PROFINET IO gateway raises the appropriate diagnostic alarm to the network. This will trigger the fault LED on the PLC, and make the specifics (text and help) of the diagnostic alarm available through the SIMATIC PLC interface.
Click on Flexi System Status. The following web page is displayed: The page shows diagnostics for one Flexi Classic module at a time. The initial load of the page shows diagnostics of module 1 in the system. Module Type indicates the type of the module.
