Compartment identification
9.3 Operating compartment identification
Saving parameters onto the initialization module
If an initialization module is connected to a SIMOCODE pro basic unit, all parameters that
are saved to the SIMOCODE basic unit, e.g. SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal), are automatically
copied into the initialization module.
You can also track successful writing of the parameters into the initialization module with the
"initialization module programmed" event in the SIMOCODE ES online functions.
Parameter settings in the "SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal)" software
From a technical point of view, the initialization module is treated like an expansion module
of SIMOCODE pro.
To use the mechanism of compartment identification, choose the "initialization module"
option in the "Parameter → Device configuration" dialog box in the "SIMOCODE ES"
software.
Autoactivation of compartment identification
If a SIMOCODE pro S or SIMOCODE pro V basic unit detects a connected initialization
module during device startup, it will automatically load the parameters stored in it and will
start with these parameters.
At the same time, the "Initialization module" parameter of the device configuration in the
SIMOCODE pro basic unit is activated so that, on each new device startup, an initialization
module is expected.
Note
Device startup when the "initialization module" parameter is activated
If no initialization module is detected during device start-up, SIMOCODE pro will signal
"Trip - Configuration fault." The "General Fault" LED of the basic unit flashes.
The basic unit can only be reset when the configuration error has been remedied by
connecting an initialization module or when a configuration has been loaded into the device
without the "initialization module" option.
Deactivation of the compartment identification
To prevent SIMOCODE pro V from expecting an initialization module during device startup,
you clear the "Initialization module" check mark in the "Parameter → Device configuration"
dialog box. In this case, no initialization module must be connected to the SIMOCODE basic
unit while this configuration is being downloaded.
A further way of deactivating the compartment identification is to reset the SIMOCODE pro
basic unit to the factory settings. Resetting is performed in the "Commands" dialog box. In
this case, too, no initialization module must be connected to the SIMOCODE pro basic unit.
The parameter settings can then also be reloaded into the SIMOCODE pro basic unit.
