3.1.4 Configuration in the Remote Controller operating mode

Festo P.BE-CPX-FB36-EN en 1309NH English
When using a CPX-FEC or CPX-CEC in your CPX terminal, the
CPX-FB36 is to be used as the Remote Controller.
In principle, the bus node is configured in the same manner
as in the Remote I/O operating mode, but with different I/O
data lengths.
The bus node then occupies 8 or 16 input bytes and 8 or 16
output bytes (dependent on the switch position DIL 2.2
Tab. 1/2).
These inputs and outputs are available to the control pro-
gram of the CPX-FEC or CPX-CEC.
To use the Remote Controller operating mode:
1. Use DIL switch group 1 to set the bus node to the Remote
Controller operating mode and select an EtherNet/IP or
Modbus TCP protocol (
– DIL 1.1: ON
– DIL 1.2: OFF (EtherNet/IP protocol)
DIL 1.2: ON (Modbus TCP protocol)
2. Use DIL switch group 2 to set the required data field size
( chapter 1.2.3).
3. Follow the instructions in chapter 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 for com-
missioning with the "RSLogix" program.
The bus node is thus configured as remote controller.
