With MOVIKIT® ParallelMode
Proceed as follows to configure the software module in parallel operation (using MOVIKIT® ParallelMode to control and read several devices in combination):
- A suitable MOVISUITE® project has been created. See Example project.
- Open the configuration of MOVIKIT® ParallelMode.
- Configure MOVIKIT® ParallelMode.
- Open the configuration of the master device (device that is located on the far left below MOVIKIT® ParallelMode).
- In the "Functions" > "Device functions" > "Basic settings" configuration menu in the "Parallel operation" section and in the "Device properties" > "Communication" > "Module bus" configuration menu in the "Basic settings" section, select the value "Master".
- Open the configuration of all other devices that are subordinate to MOVIKIT® ParallelMode one after the other.
- Select the value "Slave" in the respective "Functions" > "Device functions" > "Basic settings" configuration menu in the "Parallel operation" section and in the "Device properties" > "Communication" > "Module bus" configuration menu in the "Basic settings" section.
- Configure the software modules of all devices in accordance with the design report (operating mode, energy storage unit, fault response, etc.). Take into account the additional output capacitances of the individual supply units, and configure the parameter "Capacitance application fixed (A-side)" in the configuration menu "Energy storage unit" > "Energy storage unit" in the "Energy storage unit" section according to the information in the following table.
Device | 2 x parallel | 3 x parallel | 4 x parallel |
|---|---|---|---|
MDP92A-0100-.. | 100 µF | Not possible | Not possible |
MDP92A-0250-.. | 350 µF | 700 µF | Not possible |
MDE90A-0200-.. | 100 µF + power supply | 200 µF + power supply | 300 µF + power supply |
MDE90A-0750-.. | 105 µF + power supply | 210 µF + power supply | 315 µF + power supply |
For the changes made to the configuration to take effect, you have to update the configuration data. To do so, click [Update configuration data] in the corresponding message for the node or in the context menu of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER. The MOVI-C® CONTROLLER is stopped and restarted to update the configuration data.
