Product Usage Instructions

Setting the IP Address of the Bus Module
The IP address of the bus module can be set using the DIP switches on the interface:

1. Set the IP address within the range of 192.168.0.xx (where xx corresponds to DIP switch positions from 1 to 63).
2. DIP switch settings and corresponding IP addresses:

DIP Switch	IP Address
OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON	1
OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF	2
OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON	3
ON ON ON ON ON OFF	62
ON ON ON ON ON ON	63

Data Types and Signal Mapping
The product uses the following data types:

• UINT16 (Unsigned Integer) – Range: 0 to 65535
• SINT16 (Signed Integer) – Range: -32768 to 32767

Safety

WARNING!
Danger from incorrect operation and work that is not carried out properly. This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.

• All the work and functions described in this document must only be carried out by technically trained and qualified personnel.
• Read and understand this document in full.
• Read and understand all safety rules and user documentation for this equip-ment and all system components.

Connections and Displays

1	TX+
2	TX-
3	RX+
6	RX-
4,5,7,	Not normally used; to ensure-
8	re signal completeness, the
	se pins must be Intercon-
	nected and, after passing
	through a filter circuit, must
	terminate at the ground
	conductor (PE).

RJ45 connection

(1) LED MS – Module status

Off: No supply voltage

Lights up green: Controlled by a master

Flashes green (once): Master not configured or master idle

Lights up red: Major error (exception state, serious fault, …)

Flashes red: Correctable error

(2) LED NS – Network status

Off: No supply voltage or no IP address

Lights up green: Online, one or more connections established (CIP category 1 or 3)

Flashes green: Online, no connection is established

Lights up red: Double IP address, serious error

Flashes red: Overrun of time for one or more connections (CIP category 1 or 3)

Data Transfer Properties

Transfer technology

• Ethernet

Medium

• When selecting the cables and plugs, the ODVA recommendation for the plan-ning and installation of EtherNet/IP systems must be observed. The EMC tests were carried out by the manufacturer with the cable IE-C5ES8VG0030M40M40-F.

Transmission speed

• 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s

Bus connection

• RJ-45 Ethernet / M12

Configuration Parameters

• In some robot control systems, it may be necessary to state the configuration parameters described here so that the bus module can communicate with the robot.

Setting the Bus Module IP Address
Setting the Bus Module IP Address You can set the bus module IP address as follows:

1. Using the DIP switch in the interface within the range defined by 192.168.0.xx (xx = DIP switch setting = 1 to 63)
   • All positions are set to the OFF position at the factory. In this case, the IP address must be set on the website of the welding machine
2.  On the website of the welding machine (if all positions of the DIP switch are set to the OFF position)

The IP address is set using DIP switch positions 1 to 6. The configuration is carried out in binary format. This results in a configuration range of 1 to 63 in decimal format.

Example for setting the IP address of the bus module using the DIP switch in the interface:
Dip switch
8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1	IP address
–	–	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	1
–	–	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	OFF	2
–	–	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	ON	3
–	–	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON	OFF	62
–	–	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON	63

Instructions for setting the IP address on the website of the welding machine:
Note down the IP address of the welding machine used:

1. On the welding machine control panel, select “Defaults”
2. On the welding machine control panel, select “System”
3. On the welding machine control panel, select “Information”
4.  Note down the displayed IP address (example: 10.5.72.13)

Access the website of the welding machine in the internet browser:

1. Connect the computer to the network of the welding machine
2. Enter the IP address of the welding machine in the search bar of the internet browser and confirm
3. Enter the standard user name (admin) and password (admin)
   • The website of the power source is displayed

Set the bus module IP address:

1. On the power welding machine, select the “RI FB PRO/i” tab
2. Enter the desired IP address for the interface under “Module configuration”. For example: 192.168.0.12
3. Select “Set configuration”
4. Select “Restart module”
   • The set IP address is applied

Input and output signals

Data types

The following data types are used:

• UINT16 (Unsigned Integer)
  • The whole number in the range from 0 to 65535
• SINT16 (Signed Integer)
  • The whole number ranges from -32768 to 32767

Conversion examples:

• for a positive value (SINT16) e. g. desired wire speed x factor 12.3 m/min x 100 = 1230dec = 04CEhex
• for a negative value (SINT16) e. g. arc correction x factor -6.4 x 10 = -64dec = FFC0hex

The input signals listed below are available from firmware V2.0.0 of the RI FB PRO/i onwards.

How do I troubleshoot LED status indications?
If the LED MS is lit red, it indicates a main error. If it blinks red, it signifies a fixable error. For LED NS, a red light could indicate a double IP address or a severe network error.

What are the default configuration parameters for the bus module?
The default configuration parameters include Vendor ID: 0534hex, Device Type: Communication adapter, Product Code: 0320hex, Product Name: Fronius FB Pro Ethernet/IP-2-Port.
