PLC Configuration of the Valve System

This section assumes that you have correctly set the bus coupler address and baud rate and
that bus termination has been provided using a data termination plug. A detailed description
can be found in section 9 "Presettings on the Bus Coupler" on page 98.
For the bus coupler to exchange data from the modular valve system with the PLC, the PLC must
be able to detect the input and output data lengths of the valve system. In order to represent
the actual configuration of the valve system's electrical components in the PLC, you can use
the configuration software of the PLC programming system. This process is known as PLC
configuration.
You can use PLC configuration software from various manufacturers for the PLC configuration.
The descriptions in the following sections therefore focus on the basic procedure for configuring
the PLC.
Configuration error!
An incorrect valve system configuration can cause malfunctions in and damage to the overall
system.
The configuration may therefore only be carried out by qualified personnel (see section 2.4
"Personnel qualifications" on page 77).
Observe the specifications of the system owner as well as any restrictions resulting from
the overall system.
Observe the documentation of your configuration program.
You can determine the system data length on your computer and transfer it to the system
on site without connecting the unit. The data can then be loaded on the system at a later time
on site.

Readying the PLC configuration keys

Because the electrical components in the valve zone are situated in the base plate and cannot
be identified directly, the PLC configuration keys for the valve zone and the I/O zone are required
to carry out the configuration.
You also need the PLC configuration key when the configuration is carried out in a different location
than that of the valve system.
Note down the PLC configuration key for the individual components in the following order:
– Valve side: The PLC configuration key is printed on the name plate on the right side of the valve
system.
– I/O modules: The PLC configuration key is printed on the top of the modules.
A detailed description of the PLC configuration key can be found in section 12.4 "PLC
configuration key" on page 114.
