Page 60
3. Installation Recommendation • Connect the operating voltage for the valve coils (pin 2) via EMERGENCY STOP. PLEASE NOTE: Check whether a pressure switch-off is also necessary for EMERGENCY STOP on your machine/system. The output modules have an additional operating volt- age connection for supplying the connected actuators.
Page 61
3. Installation Protective The node has two protective earth connections: earth – on the operating voltage connection (pin 4 leading contact). – on the node housing (earthing connection see Fig. 3/2). PLEASE NOTE • Always connect a protective earth conductor to pin 4 of the operating voltage connection.
Page 62
3. Installation Connection Please observe the following if there is a common 24 V example supply for pins 1 and 2: • Maintain the common tolerance of 24 V DC + 10/ - 15 %. • When connecting the two protective earth conduc- tors, avoid equalizing currents, e.g.
3. Installation 3.2.3 Connecting the fieldbus Before you connect the fieldbus cable, you should first prepare the CP system for commissioning on the fieldbus (see chapter 4). PLEASE NOTE A description of the fieldbus of your node can be found in the appropriate manual for the CP fieldbus node.

4. Commissioning 4.2 Preparing the CP system for commissioning WARNING Leave the fieldbus unconnected while you are com- missioning the CP system. You thereby avoid: – addressing errors which arise due to modification of the address ranges with various fieldbus systems while they are operating.
4. Commissioning 4.2.1 Saving the string assignment WARNING If you later modify the string assignment of your CP system: • Check the address assignment of your CP system after saving the string assignment and before starting any user programs. You thereby avoid: –...
Page 69
4. Commissioning Save the string assignment as follows: 1. Check that the CP modules are connected to the string which provides the intended address range (see also chapter 1). 2. Check also that the modules are correctly marked and that the CP cables are correctly fastened with the union nut.
Page 70
4. Commissioning Test phases With the aid of the saved string assignment, the CP node helps to avoid connecting errors and therefore ad- dressing errors. It checks automatically whether the current string assignment corresponds to the saved string assignment. A distinction is made here between the following test phases: –...
4. Commissioning 4.3 Reaction of the CP system when switched on When the voltage supply is switched on, the node as- certains the current string assignment automatically. It ascertains, one after the other, which CP modules are connected to which strings. If the current assignment corresponds to the saved as- signment, the fieldbus node will switch immediately to ready status.
Page 72
4. Commissioning The ready status can be restored in one of the following ways: – by eliminating assignment errors manually – by saving the current assignment as the nominal as- signment (see section 4.2.1). Eliminating assignment errors manually • Restore the saved assignment by connecting the node with the appropriate modules again.

Current string assignment is saved Due to saving the string assignment, the scope of data for fieldbus communication may also be changed.
4. Commissioning 4.4 Reaction of the CP system to operating faults If there is a fault on a CP module during operation, e.g. due to cable fracture etc., the LED on the appropriate string of the fieldbus node will light up. The status LED on the relevant module will go out.

4. Commissioning Replacing modules during operation WARNING • Check whether the organisational concept of your machine/system permits the replacement of modules during operation. • Make sure that modules are not separated from a string and then connected to another string during operation.
Page 77
4. Commissioning Please observe the following rules: Basic rules Only modules of the same type can be replaced during operation. • Replace I-module by I-module of same type (replacement of CP-E16-M8 by CP-E16-M12x2 is not permitted during operation) • Replace O-module by O-module •...
Page 78
4. Commissioning If more than the above-mentioned modules are separ- ated from and then connected again to the CP system simultaneously, there is a danger of a connection error (reversal of module connections). Operation of these modules is not, therefore, resumed while the system is operating.
4. Commissioning 4.5 Correcting string assignment errors With the four string LEDs on the node and the status LEDs on the CP modules, you can check the string assignment of the CP system. The LEDs have the fol- lowing meanings: String LEDs Meaning Error treatment...
Page 80
4. Commissioning Correct the string assignment as follows: • Use the string LEDs to ascertain on which strings there is an assignment error. • Check whether the correct modules or module types are connected to these strings. • Replace defective modules or defective CP cables. If the node ascertains an incorrect string assignment during the power-up phase, the status LEDs of all the connected modules will flash.
