Connect The Controller To The Sensors; Assign The Node Ids - Leuze electronic LBK SBV Original Operating Instructions

7 Installation and use procedures

Connect the controller to the sensors

Note: the maximum length of the CAN bus line from the controller to the last sensor in the chain is 100 m
(328.1 ft).
Note: when replacing a sensor, in the LBK Designer application, click APPLY CHANGES to confirm the
change.
1. With the cable validator tool (downloadable from the site www.leuze.com), decide if the controller will be
positioned at the end of the chain or inside it (see Chain examples on the next page).
2. Set the DIP switch of the controller based on its position in the chain.
3. Connect the desired sensor directly to the controller.
4. To connect another sensor, connect it to the last sensor in the chain or directly to the controller to start a
second chain.
5. Repeat step 4 for all the sensors to be installed.
6. Insert the bus terminator (product code: 50040099), into the free connector of the last sensor of the chain
(s).
7.2.9

Assign the Node IDs

Type of assignment
Note: if the connected sensors do not already have a Node ID assigned (e.g., at first startup), the system
automatically assigns them a Node ID during the installation procedure.
Three types of assignment are possible:
Manual: to assign the Node ID to a sensor at a time. Can be performed with all the sensors already
l
connected or after each connection. Useful for adding a sensor or to change Node ID to a sensor.
Automatic: to assign the Node IDs to all sensors at once. To be performed when all the sensors are
l
connected.
Semi-automatic: wizard for connecting the sensors and assign the Node ID one sensor at a time.

Procedure
1. Start the application.
2. Click User > Configuration and verify that the number of sensors in the configuration is the same of the
sensors installed.
3. Click Settings > Node ID Assignment.
4. Proceed according to the type of assignment:
If the assignment is...

Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG
Then...
1. Click DISCOVER CONNECTED SENSORS to display the
connected sensors.
2. To assign a Node ID, click Assign for the unassigned Node ID in the
Configured sensors list.
3. To change a Node ID, click Change for the already assigned Node
ID in the Configured sensors list.
4. Select the SID of the sensor and confirm.
1. Click DISCOVER CONNECTED SENSORS to display the
connected sensors.
2. Click ASSIGN NODE IDS > Automatic.
Click ASSIGN NODE IDS > Semi-automatic and follow the
instructions displayed.
