At a Glance

To configure the communication channel, you must complete the parameters specific to the project.

These are made up of two windows:

General Parameters

The window is set out as follows:

The Handling on stopped mode zone allows you to define the strategy to be applied to outputs and message handling when the project is in Stop mode:

PMS: selects the behavior of the PMS services,
- Inactive: default value,
- Active.
Outputs: selects the output fallback mode,
- Maintain: the value of the outputs is maintained,
- Fallback: the outputs revert to their original values.

The Nbr IW/QW field allows the number of words used for the inputs/outputs to be selected: 128 or 242.

INTERBUS configuration file

The window is set out as follows:

The Auto box allows automatic selection of the bus configuration mode:

This mode is automatically triggered by powering up the INTERBUS bus,
It allows rapid verification, without using the CMD Tool software, of the installation’s wiring without any handling or testing,
The PCP channels are limited to 64 bytes.

CAUTION

UNEXPECTED APPLICATION BEHAVIOR - INTERBUS AUTOMATICALLY START

After project has been transferred to the PLC, INTERBUS starts automatically if the bus has been correctly installed.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

The Control Expert->IBY box is used to select the bus configuration mode via Control Expert:

This mode requires the use of CMD Tool in order to generate a *.SVC configuration text file and to import it into Control Expert,
- The Select button is used to retrieve this file or any other existing *.SVC text file,
  
  This file describes the behavior of the application and all the configuration information to be sent to the module before the field bus is started up,
- The adjoining screen displays the file used for the bus configuration.
INTERBUS can be started from downloading in the module and configuration monitoring (secured mode),
This mode allows access to advanced INTERBUS services (preprocessing, logical addressing, segmentation, etc.),
If a TSX IBY 100 /TSX IBX 100 module has to be replaced, the configuration is automatically reloaded into the new module. This process does not require CMD Tool software.

The CMD->IBY box allows you to select the bus configuration mode using the CMD Tool:

If the configuration size exceeds 8 Kwords, a third mode, CMD->IBY, allows the configuration to be loaded onto the module,
Every intervention on a module linked with INTERBUS requires the use of CMD Tool software.
