3-1 CX-ConfiguratorFDT

Omron CX-ConfiguratorFDT is the versatile network configuration tool for networks such as PROFIBUS and PROFINET. It is based on FDT/DTM technology. CX-ConfiguratorFDT is Omron’s standalone FDTcontainer. For the various networks Omron provides device specific DTM’s.

To configure PROFINET, Omron delivers three different DTM’s:

1

CJ1W-PNT21 PROFINET IO Controller DTM

This DTM is used to configure the IO Controller to perform data-exchange and to set up the memory locations for the I/O data-exchange. Furthermore, the DTM provides online diagnostics functions.

2

GRT1-PNT SmartSlice PROFINET IO Device DTM

This DTM is used to configure the GRT1-PNT SmartSlice system. The type and number of units inserted in the SmartSlice system can be configured. This defines the amount of I/O data that is exchanged with the PROFINET IO Controller. All parameters of the SmartSlice buscoupler and the separate SmartSlice units are directly accessible.

3

Generic IO Device DTM

This DTM interprets standard PROFINET IO GSDML files. The DTM can only be used to configure the I/O Data exchange between the PROFINET IO Controller and PROFINET IO Devices.

The DTM only contains very limited online diagnostics functions and online parameter setup is not possible.

This section provides information about the use of the CJ1W-PNT21 PROFINET IO Controller DTM and the Generic I/O Device DTM. For the use of the GRT1-PNT SmartSlice PROFINET IO Device DTM please refer to the SmartSlice GRT1-Series PROFINET IO Communication Unit Operation Manual

3-1-1 Starting CX-ConfiguratorFDT

Select Program, OMRON, and CX-ConfiguratorFDT from the Start Menu if the default program folder name is used. The first time CX-ConfiguratorFDT is started, the Device Catalog will still be empty.

Therefore, the following dialog will be displayed on top of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT application window.

3-2

Select Yes to generate the Device Catalogue for the first time. This action may take several minutes depending on the number of installed DTMs.

After updating the Device Catalogue, it will open in the CX-ConfiguratorFDT application window.

3-1-2 Installation Procedure for a DTM

This section explains how to install the PROFINET IO Generic Device DTM software.

1

Exit all other Windows-based programs.

2

Double-click the file OMRON PNIOGenericDeviceDTM setup.exe.

The setup program for the PROFINET IO Generic Device DTM will start.

Select the preferred Language for the Setup and click OK.

3

The user is then guided through the installation process.

3

Pressing the Next button will start the installation.

4

When done, the installation program will notify the user of its completion. The update of the

Device Catalogue of the FDT Container is required.



Updating the Device Catalog

After installation of the PROFINET IO Generic Device DTM the Device Catalogue in the FDT Container needs to be updated. This makes PROFINET IO devices that supply a GSDML file for configuration visible in the device catalogue. For CX-ConfiguratorFDT the following procedure applies.

1

Open the Device Catalogue window in CX-ConfiguratorFDT.

2

Press the Update button to initiate the update sequence.

After updating, the GSDML file based PROFINET IO Devices will be shown in the list of available devices. It can now be used to setup a PROFINET IO network and configure the PROFINET IO

Controller Unit.

3-1-3 Establishing the PROFINET IO Network

This section briefly describes how to create, connect and configure the PROFINET IO network using the CX-ConfiguratorFDT software and the Device DTM’s. More detail can be found in the following sections.

1

Select the Network Components (see section 2-3 Network Installation) and build the network.

2

Connect the Personal Computer to the Ethernet network. Note that the PROFINET Scan Tool

(for assigning the IO Device names) can only operate when connected to the Ethernet network.

3

Start the CX-ConfiguratorFDT software and install the appropriate GSDML files and DTM’s for the connected IO Devices.

4

Scan the PROFINET network with the PROFINET Scan View included in the CJ1W-PROFINET

IO Controller DTM. Give the detected IO Devices an appropriate name according to their position and /or function. It is possible to give a IO Device a temporary IP-address but it will be set/changed later by the IO Controller.

5

Add the PROFINET IO Controller as parent in the Network View. Configure the communication parameters to connect to the IO Controller:

• Set an IP address in the PROFINET IO Controller by using the Network Scan View.

• Enter the same IP address in the DTM.

• Confirm the on-line connection by putting the DTM on-line.

• Set the PROFINET Names of the PROFINET IO Devices by using the Network Scan View.

6

Build up the network within CX-ConfiguratorFDT. Add the IO Devices to the Tree of the network by dragging and dropping from the Device Catalogue. Assign the I/O modules for each individual IO Device. Use the exact names given to the IO Devices with the network scan tool. Make sure that the IP address for each item on the network is unique.

7

Allocate the modules of the IO Devices to the intended CPU memory areas.

8

Download the configuration to the IO Controller.

9

Confirm proper operation by checking the Monitoring GUI of DTM and indicator status of the

Unit.

Additional Information

A common mistake when implementing IO Controller redundancy, is to download the same configuration to both IO Controllers, thereby creating an IP address conflict as well as duplicating the symbolic name. This should be avoided.
