Principle

Introduction

When installing the INTERBUS it is necessary first of all to define the physical context of the project into which it is to be integrated (rack, mains supply, processor, modules or devices, etc.) and then carry out the required software installation.

Its software installation is carried out using the different editors of Control Expert:

either in local mode,
or in connected mode: in this case, modification is limited to certain parameters.

The order of the different installation phases is predefined; nevertheless, it is possible to modify the order of certain phases (for example to begin with the configuration phase).

Installation principle

The table below presents the different installation phases of the INTERBUS.

Phase	Description	Mode
Declaration of variables	Declaration of IODDT type variables for application-specific type modules and project variables.	Local (1)
Programming	Project programming.	Local (1)
Configuration	Declaration of modules.	Local
	Configuring module channels.
	Entering the configuration parameters.
	Declaring the bus configuration using the CMD Tool software and generating the *.SVC text file
Association	Associating IODDTs with the configured modules (variable editor).	Local (1)
Generation	Generating the project (analyzing and editing links).	Local
Transfer	Transferring the project to the PLC.	Connected
Adjustment/Debugging	Project debugging using debug screens, animation tables, CMD software.	Connected
Adjustment/Debugging	Modification of program and adjustment parameters.	Connected
Documentation	Constituting the project folder and printing the relevant information.	Connected (1)
Operating/Troubleshooting	Visualizing the information necessary for supervisory control of the project.	Connected
Operating/Troubleshooting	Project and module diagnostics.	Connected

Key
(1)	These various phases can also be carried out in the other mode.
