Technical Description
Select the Required Configuration Mode for the UMC100-FBP
The UMC100 can be configured in different ways depending on your system setup:
Configuration via LCD panel
The device address has to be configured via LCD panel. And it is possible to adjust the other protec-
tion and control parameters of the UMC100 using the panel. The configuration via LCD panel is good for
stand-alone applications (without bus) and when no Laptop for parameterisation is in use.
The configuration via LCD panel can be password-protected to prevent unintentional parameter changes.
Configuration from within the control system
Device description files allow the integration and configuration of a device in the fieldbus master. For
PROFIBUS this file is called a GSD file. In case of CANopen and DeviceNet so-called EDS files are com-
monly used. The UMC100 can be configured using these configuration files. A considerable benefit of
this method of configuration is that the configuration is stored centrally in the control system and can be
downloaded again in the event of a replacement.
If the UMC100 is connected via PROFIBUS and the control system supports the FDT/DTM technology
it is also possible to configure the UMC100 using the PBDTM (PROFIBUS Device Type Manager) from
within the system. The PBDTM offers a very user-friendly configuration interface which also allows to
adapt the internal UMC100 application logic using the custom application editor.
In online mode the PBDTM additionally provides access to all diagnosis, service and process data.
Configuration via Laptop
The configuration via laptop option is a convenient way to parameterise and monitor the UMC100.
The FDT/DTM based configuration tool provides full access to all data available in the UMC100.
The following functions are available:
• Online and offline configuration and parameterisation of the UMC100
• Monitoring and diagnosis of the UMC100 during operation
• Function block based programming of a user specific application
• Utilising of user roles and optional password protection for different tasks (e.g. engineering or operation)
The UTF21 communication adapter provides a point-to-point connection between a single UMC100 and
your laptop. The top half of the following diagram shows this setup.
If several UMC100s are connected via PROFIBUS the UTP22 communication adapter can be used.
This adapter connects your laptop to the PROFIBUS line and allows central configuration and monitoring
of all UMC100s connected to this line. This is recommended for larger PROFIBUS installations.
For configuration via laptop use the ABB tool "Asset Vision Basic". It is jointly used by
ABB Instrumentation and ABB Control Products. It is based on the FDT/DTM standard.
The installation and use of the PBDTM is described in the PBDTM manual. It also provides general infor-
mation about the FDT/DTM technology.
Please read this manual carefully if you are unfamiliar with the FDM/DTM technology.
