Installation

DIN Rail Mounting

IMPORTANT
The equipment must be electrically grounded through the DIN rail for EMC compliance. Make sure that the equipment is correctly mounted on the rail and that the rail is properly grounded.

Rotary Switch Settings
Rotary Switches Default Setting
By default, the value on the three rotary switches are set to 000.

Figure 4. Rotary switches default setting 000.

Set a Node Address with Rotary Switches
About the Rotary Switch Settings
To set a node address for the PROFIBUS server, use the rotary switches located on the top front of the Communicator.

TIP
Use Windows Calculator (or similar application) to convert between hexadecimal (hex) and decimal (dec).

• The default node address setting is 000.
• When the node address setting is 000, you can sett the node address via the Communicator built-in web interface.
• The node address values are set in hexadecimal (hex).
• Minimum value is 00.
• Supports PROFIBUS node addresses 0-126 Dec (0-7E Hex).
• Each node address may only occur once in the network.
• The node address is read from the center rotary switch x16 to the front rotary switch x1.
• The rear rotary switch is not used, ensure that it is set to 0.

Before You Begin
Ensure that the Communicator is disconnected from power.

Figure 5. Disconnect Communicator from power
Procedure
Use a screwdriver to change the rotary switch position. Ensure that the rotary switches engage correctly.

Example 1. To set the node address 12 hex = 18 dec

1. The rear rotary switch A is not used, ensure that it is set to 0.
2. Set the center rotary switch B to 1 hex.
3. Set the front rotary switch C to 2 hex.

The center rotary switch B 1 hex = 1 dec and the front rotary switch C 2 hex = 2 dec. The node address expressed in decimal numbers is therefore 16 x 1 + 2 = 18.

Example 2. To set the node address 7E hex = 126 dec

• If the rear rotary switch A is not used, ensure that it is set to 0.
• Set the center rotary switch B to 7.
• Set the front rotary switch C to E.

The center rotary switch B 7 hex = 7 dec and the front rotary switch C E hex = 14 dec. The node address expressed in decimal numbers is therefore 16 x 7 + 14 = 126.

To Do Next
Connect the Communicator to power. See Connect to Power (page 16).

Figure 6. Connect Communicator to power
Result
The set node address is active as soon as the Communicator is powered on.

NOTE
Changing the address settings on the rotary switches during operation is ignored. For a new address to take effect, power cycle the Communicator.

Connect to Power

CAUTION
Ensure that the power supply is turned off before connecting it to the equipment.

IMPORTANT
Using the wrong type of power supply can damage the equipment. Ensure that the power supply is connected properly and of the recommended type Before you connect the Communicator to power, ensure that the PROFIBUS address is set on the rotary switches. If the PROFIBUS address is set when the Communicator is operating, you must power cycle the Communicator for the new setting to take effect.

Security Switch

NOTE
After completing the configuration of the Communicator, lock the security switch to prevent unauthorized access to the Communicator built-in web interface.

When the security switch is in its locked position, the Communicator built-in web interface can not be accessed and the Communicator can not be configured using the built-in web interface. Network specific parameters, configured via the PLC is still available.

To Lock and Unlock the Security Switch

Figure 8. Security switch in locked and unlocked position

Use a pointed object, such as a ballpoint pen

1. To lock the security switch, push the toggle towards the Communicator front.
2. To unlock the security switch, push the toggle towards the Communicator back.

Security Switch Status LED

When the security switch is in its:

• locked position, the security switch status LED turn solid green.
• unlocked position, the security switch status LED is turned off.

Lock the Cables

Figure 10. Lock the cables
To strain relieve the cables, place a cable tie in the holder and lock the cables.

DIN Rail Demount

Before You Begin

IMPORTANT
Be careful when removing the Communicator from the DIN-rail. If not removed properly, the DIN rail locking mechanism and the product cover can break.

Have a flat-blade screwdriver, size 5.5 mm, available.
Procedure
Remove the Communicator from the DIN Rail:

• Insert the screwdriver into the Communicator DIN rail locking mechanism.
• To unlock the Communicator DIN rail locking mechanism, turn the screwdriver clockwise.

Figure 11. Unlock the Communicator

Hold the screwdriver in the DIN rail locking mechanism while you unhook the  Communicator from the DIN rail.

Configuration

Connect to PC and Power

Figure 13. Connect to PC and Power

1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Communicator configuration port and your PC.
2. Connect the Communicator to a power supply.

Find the Communicator on Your PC
The Communicator default IP address is 192.168.0.10. To be able to access the Communicator built-in web interface.

1. Option 1| Set a static IP address on the PC On the PC accessing the Communicator built-in web interface, set a static IP address within the same IP address range as the Communicator IP address. To access the Communicator built-in web interface, ensure that port Port 80 TCP is open in your PC Windows Firewall. Note that when you change to a static IP address on your PC, internet access is lost.
2. Option 2 | Change the IP address on the Communicator configuration port Use the software application HMS IPconfig to find and change the IP address on the Communicator configuration port, to one within the same IP address range as the PC accessing the Communicator built-in web interface.
   To download the installation files, please visit www.anybus.com/support and enter the product article number to search for the Communicator support web page. You find the product article number on the product cover.

Configure the Communicator

Figure 14. The Communicator built-in web interface Home page
Open the Communicator built-in web interface in HMS IPconfig or enter the Communicator IP address in your web browser. The built-in web interface takes you through the steps to configure the Communicator.
