By means of a summary list, this chapter describes the basic procedure to be followed when initially start-
ing up the automation system. This list is intended to enable experienced users to get started quickly.
Requirements
•
The work required to mount the entire system – comprising the CPU (also referred to as the "device"
here) and the connected modules – and establish its electrical connections is complete (incl. estab-
lishing the network connection via the Ethernet interface).
•
The network includes a DHCP server from which the CPU obtains its IP address (otherwise this ad-
dress must be assigned manually; see "Configuration > Ethernet").
•
The setup program has been installed and started on a PC that is also connected to the network.
Procedure
1. Switch on the voltage supply.
a) Check the system status in the display of the CPU.
Once the system has started up, "Run" is displayed.
b) Open the device menu and identify the IP address of the interface concerned.
2. Create a new project: Setup program > Projects
a) Select project template (central processing unit and version)
b) Project management: Assign a project designation and, if necessary, create a description.
c) Save the project file, under a different name if necessary.
3. Create the hardware configuration: Setup program > Project > System bus hardware assistant
a) Add DIN rail and place router module 1-port (705043) or router module 3-port (705042) as the
first module on the DIN rail.
Since the variTRON 300 CPU does not have any lateral connections for power supply and sys-
tem bus, a router module is required (primary: router module 1 port) to connect further modules.
In the setup program, this router module must be placed on an additional DIN rail. In a real sys-
tem, it can be placed on the same DIN rail as the central processing unit.
b) Establish connection between central processing unit and router module.
c) Add the modules to the router module in the correct order (change the module designation if nec-
essary).
d) If necessary, select the hardware for the expansion slots.
e) If necessary, add another DIN rail and place router module 1-port (705043) or router module 3-
port (705042) as the first module on the DIN rail. (router module 705041 must be on the first DIN
rail). In this case, place an additional router module 2-port (705041) on the preceding DIN rail
(position is arbitrary).
f)
If necessary, establish the connection between the router modules.
4. If necessary, create Wtrans hardware configuration (as of system version 5): Setup program > Proj-
ect > Wtrans hardware assistant
a) Select Wtrans transmitters
5. Configure the connection to the CPU: Setup program > Connections
a) Enter the CPU's IP address under "Host address".
b) If necessary, enter the designation and description.
c) Use the user "Master" available per default.
d) Use port 8443 (if the connection is secure).
6. Transfer the project (hardware configuration only) to the CPU: Setup program > Project > Data trans-
fer
a) Select the connection that was previously configured.
b) Establish the connection ("Connect..."), and enter the default password 9200 when doing so.
c) Send the configuration to the CPU ("Send to device").
