Operating Manual EMGZ622A/642A 9.6 Service Mode fig. 14 Accessing service mode E614012e The service mode contains internally used values. These need usually no modification. However, they could be helpful while trouble shooting. Each function module has its own set of service parameters.
Operating Manual EMGZ622A/642A 11 PROFIBUS Interface Description 11.1 Wiring of the PROFIBUS Data Cable Wiring of the PROFIBUS cables The standardized PROFIBUS cable type A (STP 2x0.34 ) [AWG] has to be used for the PROFIBUS data cable. The cables are bared referring to fig. 6 and connected to the terminals according to the wiring diagram.
The GSD file can also be supplied on a floppy disk on request. In this case please contact FMS customer service. Read in the GSD file into the PROFIBUS DP Master How to read in the GSD file into the control system (DP Master) is depending on the used control system.
Operating Manual EMGZ622A/642A 12.4 Configuration The configuration defines how many process data (byte and word) are exchanged during the cyclic communication between control system and measuring amplifier. Several modules enable a flexible use of the measuring amplifier. In a single measuring amplifier only one module can be set active at the time.
