Switching on the power supply
If the control and network devices have separate power supplies, they must be switched in the
following sequence:
1. Switch on the power supply of the energy efficiency module.
2. Switch on the power supply for the controller.
Addressing the network
The controller uses the following for addressing:
– PROFIBUS address, station number
– Input addresses/output addresses
Basic addressing rules
Bus node:
– The bus node occupies 0 inputs and 0 outputs if the diagnostics mode is not active.
– Active status bits occupy 8 input bits.
– An active I/O diagnostics interface occupies 16 input bits and 16 output bits.
Network:
– The address assignment of the inputs does not depend on the address assignment of the outputs.
– Addressing is carried out in bytes.
Device description file, GSD file
A device description file, GSD file, is needed for configuration and parameterisation of the bus
node. The device description file contains all information required to integrate the module into the
higher-order controller.

Setting up automation project and controller
1. Start the controller software.
2. Create a new project: 'File' > 'New...'.
3. Enter the project name, e.g. MSE6-E2M_PROFIBUS.
4. Add the controller: 'Insert' > Station, e.g. 'SIMATIC 300 Station'.
5. Expand the project tree and select the controller.
6. Open the hardware configuration window: 'Edit' > 'Open Object'.
Installing the device description file
1. Open the Festo Support Portal è www.festo.com/sp.
2. Enter the GSD CPX search term.
3. Select, save and unzip the current device description file on the Software tab.
4. Install the device description file: 'Options' > 'Install GSD File...'. Select the file path of the device
description file: 'Browse'. Select and install the file: 'Install'.
5. Update the hardware catalogue: 'Options' > 'Update Catalog'.
Ä All available CPX modules are shown in the hardware catalogue under:
\PROFIBUS DP\Additional Field Devices\Valves\Festo CPX-Terminal
Setting up automation project and controller
1. Open the hardware catalogue with the 'View' > 'Catalog' command.
2. Expand the controller in the hardware catalogue, e.g. 'SIMATIC 300' and the folder structure.
