Tag and device address

Information

AUMATIC controls with Foundation Fieldbus are commissioned via the fieldbus
network.This includes both PD tag and device address setting as well as configuration
of the function block application.
This section contains information on how to adapt AUMATIC actuator controls to
fieldbus network requirements.
Before connecting devices with Foundation Fieldbus, PD Tag (Physical Device Tag)
and device addresses must be assigned.
The PD Tag is an identifier used for the device. Up to 32 alpha-numerical characters
can be used for data entry.
Address ranges
The device address is used to identify devices during communication. The valid
address range is between 16 and 247 (0x10
are assigned lower addresses, basic devices higher addresses. An appropriate
address range is available for each of these device types.
The AUMATIC can be placed within both ranges: within the basic device range or
within the link master device range. The factory setting for the AUMATIC is to start
with address 247 (0xF7
hex
as link master device, the MIB parameter BOOT_OPERAT_FUNCTIONAL_CLASS
has to be changed from 0x01 (BASIC) to 0x02 (LM). After this, the AUMATIC has
to be rebooted.
The device with the lowest address within the link master devices range adopts the
LAS function.
The following parameters for address range setting should be adapted:
Parameters Description
V(FUN) First unpolled node; the highest address which can be assigned to a link master
device is V(FUN)
V(NUN) Number of unpolled nodes; here, the gap of unused consecutive addresses is
defined. The first address which can be assigned to basic devices is V(VUN)
+ V(NUN).
Devices within the 'Unused' address range are excluded from communicating via
Foundation Fieldbus, because the LAS does not periodically check this range for
new devices. V(FUN) and V(NUN) parameters have to be adapted according to the
addresses assigned within the Foundation Fieldbus network, the "unused" range
should be selected in a way to ensure that the LAS does not unnecessarily poll the
addresses of devices, not being connected.
