C-BOX 300/310

To ensure that the C-BOX functions without errors, the shield of the PROFIBUS
cable must be grounded.
– Ensure that the PROFIBUS connector uses the pin assignments shown in par
2.5.2
– Attach the PROFIBUS connector to the PROFIBUS interface socket on the
C-BOX 3X0 and secure the connector with the retaining screws.
– For C-Box 310 models, it is advised to use up to two ferrites (type Stewart
28A2029-0A0) on the Profibus cable to reduce electrical noise.
In order to setup the C-BOX 3X0, you need to install the function blocks in your PLC
programming software and configure it.
The procedure below can be generally applied for this purpose:
1. Start the PROFIBUS configurator on the DP Master.
2. Insert the CD with the device database files (.GSD) into the drive of the
programming device (usually a PC).
3. Load the .GSD file HMS_1810.GSD in the configurator.
4. Configure the C-BOX 3X0 (through WinHost) setting the parameters according
to the PROFIBUS network application as described in the configurator's Help
On-Line or User's Manual.
NOTE
Further information on PROFIBUS protocol and Flow control is
provided in the C-BOX 300/310 PROFIBUS document and Help On-
Line installed from the configuration CD provided in the C-BOX
package.
