GETTING STARTED
Integrating Remote I/O Stations with Com Unit LB/FB8X09* / LB/FB8X05*
4.2. Configuration via Service Bus Using a USB-RS485 Converter
The connection of the USB-RS485 converter (e.g. ICPCON i-7561) is shown
below. Note whether your remote I/O station is an LB or FB system:
LB System: Connection Remote I/O System to Siemens SPS via PROFIBUS
LB basic backplane
Supply
Extension
FB System: Connection Remote I/O System to Siemens SPS via PROFIBUS
Supply
Connect your PC to the service bus interface on the backplane via the USB-
RS485 converter. This interface is marked with X6 on LB backplanes. In the
case of FB backplanes, the cable set should be connected to the backplane
using terminals X2.3 (Data -) and X2.4 (Data +) or terminals 12/13 and 7/8.
When connecting, note the information from the housing guide for your FB
system.
The USB-RS485 converter that is used requires the appropriate driver
software. This is usually installed automatically after the USB-RS485 converter
is connected. For the ICPCON I-7561, this is included in the delivery. If
necessary, the driver can be subsequently obtained from
http://www.icpdas.com/products/Remote_IO/i-7000/i-7561.htm.
Once the appropriate driver has been installed and the selected component
has been connected, the parameterization of the remote I/O station using
PACTware can be continued.
