PROFINET IO controller. The device has two PROFINET ports. The second port can be used, for example, as an outgoing PROFINET port. The data between the WCS reader and WCS- PNG210 is transmitted via an RS-485 interface. The data from the WCS-PNG210 to the con- troller is transmitted via the PROFINET protocol.

WCS-PNG210 Installation Installation Mounting Mounting the Modules The module is fastened to a DIN mounting rail with a width of 35 mm using a snap-on fixing method. Figure 3.1 Mounting Hook the module (1) onto the DIN mounting rail (2) from above and press it down until it snaps into place.
WCS-PNG210 Installation Electrical connection Danger! Device damage due to incorrect installation A faulty installation of cables and connection lines can endanger the function and the electrical safety of the device. • Note the permissible core cross section of the conductor.
WCS-PNG210 Installation Connecting the power supply Connect the operating voltage (10 VDC...30 VDC) to terminals 1 and 2 of the 4-pin plug X2 on the interface module. In addition, note the label on the module. The "Power" LED lights up green.

WCS-PNG210 Installation Preparing to use the RS-485 interface For operation on an RS-485 interface, the terminal on connector X1 must be connected as fol- lows: Connect terminal 4 "Rx 422+" to terminal 6 "Tx 422+". Connect terminal 5 "Rx 422-" to terminal 7 "Tx 422-".
WCS-PNG210 Installation Flow chart Define the number of read heads required. Configure WCS standard or extended. (S5 switch) Variant A, 2 ... 4 read heads one WCS read head is located at the beginning and one WCS read head is located at the end.
WCS-PNG210 Installation Dismounting Dismounting the modules Use a suitable slot-head screwdriver for dismounting the module. Disconnect all the supply and signal lines. Figure 3.4 Dismounting Insert the screwdriver (2) into the groove of the mounting bracket (3). Press the screwdriver (2) in the specified direction until the lock on the DIN mounting rail (4) opens, see figure.
WCS-PNG210 Commissioning Commissioning Introduction Warning! Danger to life due to defective work Errors during installation and commissioning can cause life-threatening injuries and significant property damage. • Installation and commissioning must be carried out only by trained personnel in accor- dance with safety regulations.
WCS-PNG210 Commissioning Connecting WCS readers If you connect several WCS readers to one interface module, the WCS readers must have dif- ferent addresses. This will allow the programmable logic controller to allocate the data to the correct WCS readers. If you only connect one WCS reader to an interface module, this WCS reader always receives the address 0.
WCS-PNG210 Commissioning Connecting the WCS-PNG210 to the network The connection to the PROFINET IO is made via the two "RJ45 PROFINET IO" sockets on the underside of the interface module. The front socket is labeled "X3 P1", and the rear socket is labeled "X3 P2".
WCS-PNG210 Commissioning Integrating the Interface Module into the Network Warning! Risk of injury due to incorrect configuration An error during the configuration of the device can override the fail-safe function, causing a danger to people and machinery. • Ensure that the device is programmed exclusively by qualified personnel.
WCS-PNG210 Commissioning Creating a Project To create a project, proceed as follows: Figure 4.3 Creating a project Launch the TIA Portal. In the portal view, select Start (1) > Create new project (2). Define fields for the project (3), e.g., by entering a name for the project in the Project name field.

WCS-PNG210 Commissioning Note Ensure that the correct port is connected to the controller. If Ethernet is connected to port 2 on the physical controller, port 2 must also be connected to the interface module in the TIA portal. If the ports are not respected, an error message will appear and the interface module will not be controllable.

WCS-PNG210 Appendix Appendix Cable routing in the RS-485 bus The data cables must always form an in-line connection between the first and the last node. This in-line connection must end with a terminator. The RS-485 terminators are integrated in the WCS readers and can be switched on and off with the interface module.
Page 29
WCS-PNG210 Appendix • Version A: One WCS reader is located at the beginning and one WCS reader at the end of the data line. For both WCS readers, the RS-485 terminator is activated. The interface module is located between these two readers and does not have an RS-485 terminator. Each WCS reader is connected to the interface module by a separate data cable.
Page 30
WCS-PNG210 Appendix • Version B: The interface module is located at the beginning of the data line; one WCS reader is located at the end of the data line. Both need the RS-485 terminator. The second WCS reader is connected to the line connection between the interface module and the first WCS reader through a short spur (length <1 m).
WCS-PNG210 Appendix Data cables and accessories RS-485 data cable For the RS-485 data transfer path, a four-wire, shielded, twisted pair data cable must be used. One wire pair is used for the supply voltage, and one pair for the RS-485 data connection. The maximum length of the cable depends on the data transfer capacity of the data cable—core-...
