Function

NOTICE!
Modules with Ethernet interfaces should only be operated in networks if all connected network com-
ponents are supplied by PELV circuits or integrated circuits with equivalent protection.
2 Function
2.1

General

The product is intended for the operation of a system CPX-E in a PROFINET IO network. Data transfer is
on the basis of Industrial Ethernet following the IEEE 802.3. Communication takes place in real time,
using the Real-Time Protocol (RT) or the Isochronous Real-Time Protocol (IRT). The product has two
equivalent Ethernet interfaces (RJ45) with integrated switch, and therefore supports both star and line
topology. The network can be divided into segments using additional switches and routers. This
makes it possible to structure the network and extend it further.
2.1.1

Web Server

The integrated web server provides read access to the key parameters and diagnostic functions of the
system CPX-E.
The web server can be accessed by entering the IP address in the address bar of a web browser.
Factory settings of the bus module:
IP address: 192.168.10.3, subnet mask:255.255.255.0
2.1.2

Device Description File

The bus module is configured in the control software for the higher-order controller using a device
description file (GSDML file). This contains all the information required to parameterise the
system CPX-E via control software (e.g. SIEMENS STEP 7).
The current device description file is available on the Festo Support Portal è www.festo.com/sp.
2.1.3

PROFIenergy

The product supports the PROFIenergy profile for energy management. This makes it possible to
switch off specific consumers that are not required in order to reduce energy demand.
2.1.4

Crossover Detection (Auto MDI/MDI-X)

The product supports crossover detection (auto MDI/MDI-X), which means that there is the option of
using patch cables or crossover cables.
When using patch cables and crossover cables in the same network, crossover detection must be
activated in the higher-order controller. When using the "Fast Start-Up" function, crossover detection
(auto MDI/MDI-X) must be deactivated.
