Configuring devices in the IEC Editor

The devices that are subordinate to the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER must first be manually configured in the IEC editor. Only then they are detected during a network scan and can be added to the MOVISUITE® project.

INFORMATION

Number and arrangement of the devices and modules in the IEC editor project must match the real hardware topology.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Switch to circle navigation and start the IEC editor.
    • A message on the used compiler version is displayed.
  2. Keep the current compiler version. Click the [Cancel] button in the message window.
  3. A lower-level device must be added below the EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS master in the device tree. Open the context menu of the master by right-clicking and select the required device from the device list in the "Add device" window.
    • In this example, the MOVIDRIVE® modular application inverters are lower-level devices.
  4. The MDD90A double-axis module is displayed in the IEC editor project with additional process data. Open the context menu of the respective application inverter by right-clicking and select the required number of process data words from the device list in the "Add device" window.
    • In this example, each module communicates with the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER with 16 process data words.
  5. To establish a connection from the IEC editor project to the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER, double-click on the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER (device) in the device tree and scan the network. Add the found device.
    • If the connection is established, the LED of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER lights up green.
  6. Build the IEC program in the machine code of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER.
  7. If the build of the IEC program was successful, the program can be transferred to the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER. For this purpose, log on to the network.
    • A message is displayed that the IEC program (application) from the IEC editor program has been created and loaded to the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER.
  8. Confirm this message.
  9. Start the IEC program.
    • The MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER starts. The message "RUN" is displayed in the status bar of the IEC editor.
    • If communication with the lower-level devices is established, the devices are marked with a green circle in the device tree.
  10. Create a boot project. This way, the IEC editor project is stored on the CFast memory card of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER and is still available after a restart of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER.
  11. Close the IEC editor and confirm the message.
