Commissioning

■Overview

A commissioning terminal is required for commissioning and system configuring of the AS 488/TM or the CS-L2 bridge. A per- sonal computer/programming device with the commissioning terminal software ASBEDIEN belonging to the system software can be used as the commissioning terminal. The commissioning terminal software is delivered in two versions for MS-DOS and Windows NT operating systems.

Commissioning terminal

The commissioning terminal is required for the following tasks:

•System configuring for bus communication and I/Os

•To edit initialization files on the memory card, e.g. to set the bus and station addresses

•To describe hardware configurations, e.g. I/O stations on the PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus and their configuration (see Section "Process I/Os").

•Archiving of user software on the memory card

•Commissioning

•Downloading of initialization and driver software onto the mem- ory card, e.g. for the 2nd PROFIBUS-DP line, for SIWAREX M or PLC/PLC coupling, and for the IP 262 in ET 200U.

Together with the commissioning terminal software belonging to the system software, any personal computer/programming de- vice can be used as the commissioning terminal if it satisfies the following requirements:

DOS version of commissioning terminal software

•CPU with 80386, 80486 or Pentium processor

•Vacant main memory min. 320 Kbyte

•VGA graphics (min. resolution 640 x 480)

•One vacant serial COM port

•MS-DOS operating system version 5.0 or later for commission- ing terminal software

•Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 oper- ating system for the COM PROFIBUS configuring software

(if required, see Section "Process I/Os").

NT version of commissioning terminal software

•CPU with Pentium processor

•Vacant hard disk capacity approx. 5.1 Mbyte

•One vacant serial COM port

•MS-DOS operating system version 5.0 or later for commission- ing terminal software

•Microsoft Windows NT (V 4.0 or later) or Windows 2000 oper- ating system.

Both versions are included in the delivery of the system software.

■Design

Cable for connection of the commissioning terminal

The commissioning terminal for the AS 488/TM automation systems and the CS-L2 bridge is connected via a cable 6ES7 902-... to the IF 962-COM serial interface module in the CPU.

IF 962-COM serial interface module

The IF 962-COM serial interface module is required to connect a commissioning terminal to an AS 488/TM automation system and to the CS-L2 bridge. It is inserted into the system CPU.

Notes on operation of the commissioning terminal

The commissioning terminal supports use of the known opera- tion and monitoring interface of the automation system for com- missioning and servicing purposes, but without offering the quality of an operation and monitoring system.

The commissioning terminal can be permanently connected to the automation system. The serial data transmission rate is 19.2 kbit/s.

Communication between the AS and the commissioning termi- nal is automatically resynchronized following an interruption, e.g. as a result of message interferences.

For diagnostics purposes or for setting parameters, AS opera- tions according to AS 235 conventions are also possible using the commissioning terminal. However, the operation/configura- tion of another automation system using the AS bus configuring channel is not permissible. As a result of the serial interface, the commissioning terminal is certainly not an adequate substitute for an operator system or engineering system.

The AS and PC systems must be electrically isolated from one another if the distances between the earth potentials are greater than 10 m.
