Method
Parameterisation via
configuration data
(Configuration Assembly)
section 3.2.3
Parameterisation with the
operator unit CPX-MMI
section 3.2.4
Parameterisation in the
PLC user program
section 3.2.5
Parameterisation using
CPX-FMT and system start
with saved parameters
section 3.2.6
1) It is possible to copy the current parameterisation with the help of the CPX-MMI operator unit.

Description
Export
parameterisation of
the CPX terminal by
using CPX-FMT.
Import the settings in
the programme
"RSLogix".
Parameterisation is
carried out with
entries via the menus.
Parameterisation
through explicit
messaging;
parameters are saved
in the PLC.
Parameterisation is
carried out with
entries via the menus.
Parameters are saved
directly in the
CPX-FB36.
Start with saved
parameters necessary.
Further information about parameterisation can be found in
the CPX system description (P.BE-CPX-SYS...).
Benefits
– Convenient transfer
of the complete
configuration for a
CPX terminal.
– Convenient
parameterisation
via menu
navigation (plain
text).
– Parameters are
reloaded after
every restart and
are therefore also
retained if the
device is replaced.
– Fast, simple
parameterisation
during
commissioning for
testing the
parameters.
Disadvantages
– Parameterisation of
the CPX terminal is
saved locally in the
bus node and is lost
1)
when replaced.
– Requirement: User
program required.
– Parameterisation of
the CPX terminal is
saved locally in the
bus node and is lost
1)
when replaced.
