Setting up the fieldbus connection
To use the fieldbus interface, the fieldbus connection must be set up via the configuration of the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER and the software module. For corresponding instructions, refer to chapter Startup.
If the fieldbus connection is activated, a corresponding function block is added to the project when generating the IEC project. Furthermore, method calls are generated for interconnection with the FieldbusHandler. As a result, the connection to the higher-level fieldbus runs automatically and no further manual adaptation is required.
The software modules require 8 process data words each for setpoints from a higher-level controller, and they send 8 process data words each via fieldbus.
Additionally, the process input data can be extended by the storage diagnostic data. The storage diagnostic data is then appended at the end.
When using the software module in parallel operation, it is sufficient to configure the fieldbus connection via the higher-level MOVIKIT® ParallelMode. The fieldbus connection of the lower-level software modules can be deactivated. If the fieldbus connection of lower-level software modules is activated, these provide your actual values, i.e. the output data of the individual software module. Setpoints on lower-level software modules are ignored.
