7.3 Parameter Settings on the Side of Robot Controller
(1)
Parameter settings under R32TB, R56TB, and RT ToolBox2 (versions earlier than Ver. 1.3)
To place the 2D-TZ577 Card in operation, it is necessary to establish three typical parameters, as listed below,
on the Robot Controller. For information about what to do about other parameters, see Table 3-4 A Listing of
Robot Parameters Used with PROFIBUS.
For information about changing parameters, refer to the "Instruction Manual - Detailed Description of Functions
and Operation" which is separately issued.

Parameter settings under RT ToolBox2 (versions later than Ver. 1.3) and RT ToolBox3
Under RT ToolBox2 versions later than 1.3, a PROFIBUS-specific setting window shown in Figure 7-5 is offered.
You can establish three parameters shown in Table 7-5 on this screen.
In regard to the PROFIBUS Error Detection Filter (PBCNT), you may change its set values only when
communication errors are frequently encountered under the undue influence from noise in your installation
environment. (For more information, see Table 3-4 A Listing of Robot Parameters Used with PROFIBUS.)

Description
A parameter that switches the operating mode of the
2D-TZ577 Card between "normal" and "self-diagnosis."
Normal mode = 0, self-diagnosis mode = 2
When the self-diagnosis identifies an anomaly, an
·
error message is displayed.
("H.8504: PROFIBUS Self-diagnosis shows
occurrence of an error.")
Return the operating mode to normal to continue with
·
normal operation.
A parameter that designates Master Station as Class 1 or
Class 2.
Class 1 Master Station is designated at factory default. To
use "Class 2," choose another parameter setting.
1:
Class 1 Master (effected when the station
number setting parameter PBNUM shown below
is used)
2:
Class 2 Master (effected when changes of station
numbers are made from Class 2 Master Station -
with PBNUM not being used)
A parameter that specifies station number for the
2D-TZ577 Card.
0~125: Station number setting values (Rewriting of
station number settings takes place within the flash ROM
as well.)
-1: Station number clear (Station number settings
within the flash ROM are cleared.)
*
After the station numbers are cleared, the value 126
is taken on.
If "No_Add_Chg" is specified with "true" when
*
making station number settings from Class 2
Master Station, 2D-TZ577 Card is disabled for
change of station numbers. To cancel this
setting, clear station numbers with "PBNUM = -1."
