Configuration of the fieldbus stations

In the exemplary project, the following devices are fieldbus stations:

  • The PLC serves as fieldbus master.
  • The MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER serves as fieldbus slave.

Configuration and startup of the devices is performed in the following software:

  • IEC editor (integrated in MOVISUITE®)
  • TIA Portal, version V13

INFORMATION

The MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER in delivery state cannot be integrated in the PROFIBUS network. Only if the fieldbus option is integrated in the IEC program of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER, the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER can be configured as fieldbus station.

The fieldbus stations are configured in several process steps:

  1. Integrating and configuring the fieldbus option in the IEC program of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER
  2. Installing device description file of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER
  3. Creating a project in TIA portal
  4. Configuring PLC in TIA portal
  5. Integrating and configuring MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER in PROFIBUS network
  6. Loading the project to the PLC
