5.5.3 Network configuration
During the configuration of the FF network the device description (DD) of the Levelflex M
must be downloaded into the directory foreseen for it.
• Start the interface configuration tool.
• Configure the interface.
• Call the DD download routine
• Download the device descriptions (.ffo and .sym files) to the directory offered.
• When the configuration is complete, close the tool and the FF stack (if open).
The Levelflex M device descriptions can be ordered direct from Endress+Hauser or
downloaded from our website www.endress.com. They contain all data necessary to
operate Endress+Hauser Foundation Fieldbus devices.
Example: Start-up using the NI-Fieldbus configurator
Start the bus configuration tool. After start-up, the tool shows the network configuration
in the form of an expandable tree. If the Levelflex M has been connected correctly, it can
now be identified:
E+H_LEVELFLEX_M_XXXXXXXX
A double click on the name reveals the device data:
PD_TAG the physical name of the device
DEVICE_ID the unique device identifier
NODE_ADDRESS the fieldbus node to which the device is connected
(is automatically allocated by the Configurator)
The device ID is made up of the following components:
Device_ID = 452B481012-XXXXXXXX
whereby:
452B48 ID code for Endress+Hauser
1012 ID code for Levelflex M
XXXXXXXX Device serial number, as printed on the nameplate
A right-hand mouse click on the name opens up a menu from which the PD_TAG and
NODE_ADDRESS can be changed
A click on the name expands the device tree to show the function blocks available for it:
