Type ME43 Start-up with Bürkert Communicator 10.5 büS network 10.5.1 Set up büS network The task of the fieldbus gateway is to convert process values between an Industrial Ethernet PLC and büS participants.

Type ME43 Start-up with Bürkert Communicator Define the direction for the transmission of the process values (from/to PLC, from/to büS participant): The direction is assigned in the büS fieldbus from the viewpoint of the ME43 fieldbus gateway. Example: - Set-point values of a büS participant are output values of the ME43 fieldbus gateway. - Actual values of a büS participant are input values of the ME43 fieldbus gateway. Process output values of the PLC are recorded in the ME43 fieldbus gateway as process input values by Industrial Ethernet. These process input values are converted and output as process output values by büS. Conversely, process output values of the büS participant are recorded as büS input values. These process input values are converted and output as process output values via Industrial Ethernet.

12.1 General description The OPC UA server offers an OPC UA client the possibility to read and write the values (cyclical and acyclic) determined by the gateway configuration. To make the data of the ME43 and the connected büS devices available in an OPC UA client, the following points must be observed: • A gateway configuration with Communicator version 5.2 or higher must be carried out, acyclic values can also be selected. • Values that are available at the PLC via the set protocol and at the OPC client are identical and cannot be differentiated.
Authentication settings Anonymous 12.3 Server certificate The OPC UA server offers the user the possibility to exchange the factory server certificate for his own. The exchange is possible via the web server. Exchanging a certificate: → Open the web server with the IP address of the ME43. The certificate can only be changed after registration. → Select OPC UA Server. → Under Server certificate click the symbol and select the file in the format “DER”. →...

Type ME43 OPC UA The device must be restarted after a successful exchange. Delete user-specific certificate and set the factory certificate to active: → Click Change certificate. → Confirm with <OK> After the restart, the factory certificate is loaded. When resetting to factory defaults, the user-specific certificate is deleted and the factory certificate is set to active. The user-specific certificate is not saved on a removable storage device and is therefore not transferred when the configuration is transferred to another device. English...
