5.1. Fieldbus Master

5.1. Fieldbus Master​

 

When the Fieldbus master module is mounted and used on BD52x, the Hi5 controller will control its own Fieldbus network, as shown in [Figure 5.1]. When utilized with the embedded PLC, the Hi5 controller can control the unit sequence that is connected to the Fieldbus.

Unlike a slave, for which parameter setting is done by the teach pendant, the setting of the master module is done using a Windows application called SyCon (Hilscher). Setting information is transferred to the Fieldbus Master Module through RS-232C, and recorded to flash-Rom inside the module. That is, the setting will be enforced when the network is configured or modified again.
