VIFB16 - 03/05 4. Commissioning 4.3 APRIL/SOFTWARE ORPHEE CONTROLLERS 4.3.1 General information on configuring valve terminals Field bus address A valve terminal is identified on the FIPIO-bus by means of its field bus address. The number of the field bus address represents the physical address of the device on the FIPIO-bus.
Page 122
VIFB16 - 03/05 4. Commissioning PLEASE NOTE • Before commissioning, make sure that a permitted field bus address is set on the valve terminal (see chapter 3.2). • Modification of the address does not become effective until the operating voltage of the valve terminal is switched off and then on again.
VIFB16 - 03/05 4. Commissioning FIPIO standard profile for Festo valve terminals Festo valve terminals belong to the device family STD_P. This device family includes the FIPIO standard profiles which permit external field bus slaves to be connected to the FIPIO-bus by means of a clearly defined device reference.
The configuration editor of ORPHEE permits the configuration and commissioning of the field bus slaves on the FIPIO-bus. Configuration of the Festo valve terminals with FB16 requires a version of ORPHEE ≥ V6.2. The following sections describe the procedure which permits the use of Festo valve terminals on the APRIL-5000 controlled FIPIO-bus.
VIFB16 - 03/05 4. Commissioning Entering the valve terminal Valve terminals can be accessed in the STD_P family of the configuration screen of the FIPIO- bus. Always proceed as follows: • Activate the function "EQT STD" in the menu PLC CONFIGURATION (FIPIO NETWORK) in order to enter a valve terminal as device family STD_P on the FIPIO.
VIFB16 - 03/05 4. Commissioning Configuring valve terminals The valve terminal entered then appears as Device reference FSD_C8 in the list of connec- ted field bus slaves.
