Commissioning With Powerconfig; First Commissioning - Siemens SENTRON 7KN POWERCENTER 3000 Manual

Commissioning with powerconfig

7KN Powercenter 3000 is commissioned like the other communication-capable SENTRON
devices with powerconfig. In principle, commissioning is possible with powerconfig. You will
find further information in FAQs (Page 119).
5.1.1

First commissioning

On first commissioning, powerconfig is connected to the internal network (X2 P1, default IP
address: 192.168.1.2) of the smart assembly.
You will find further information in the graphic in "Performance features of the internal
Ethernet interface (Page 35)".
All networks of the smart assembly network, whether it is Ethernet, or in future RS485 with
Modbus RTU, are set up as separate networks, e.g. with address space and subnet ID.
There, the individual devices, including the 7KN Powercenter 3000, will be supplied with
network addresses and other parameters and operated in the normal way.
The connected devices are located in the project tree and in the gateway hierarchy
underneath the 7KN Powercenter 3000.
7KN Powercenter 3000 and the other SENTRON devices can also be searched for via
powerconfig and created in the project tree and in the gateway hierarchy in the way
described above.
7KN Powercenter 3000 is parameterized like any other SENTRON device in powerconfig.
The setup of the 7KN Powercenter 3000 and all subordinate devices can be stored or opened
with powerconfig as a .splx file.
The project setup can be imported and read directly from powerconfig onto the
7KN Powercenter 3000 (Devices/shortcut menu).
This .splx file can be imported via the web user interface via "Settings → Actions → Import
project".
Conversely, 7KN Powercenter 3000 can export a splx file via "Settings → Actions → Export
project".
Because the identification and communication data can be changed through the web user
interface of the 7KN Powercenter 3000, the setup data can be kept consistent and further
processed in powerconfig. You will find further details in FAQs (Page 119).
