STEP 1: Add the Module to the PLC Network
From the Catalog window, drag and drop the ConveyLinx-Ai DAP into the Network View window | |
To attach the module to the PLC, click on the Not Assigned link and select the desired Profinet Interface of the PLC | |
When attached, you will see the green graphic linking the PLC and the module together |
STEP 2: Assign the EXACT Profinet Name to the Module
In the Project Tree locate your newly created module under the Ungrouped devices folder. Right Click on your module to show a pop-up menu and select Properties | |
A new window will open. Select General from the menu on the left. In the Name field enter the required name for the device. In our example it is conveylinxzpa-0-20 from the Example Table | |
Type in the EXACT Profinet Name and press enter to make the change |
STEP 3: Enter the I.P. Address
In the same properties area that you changed the Profinet Name, click on Ethernet addresses and enter the I.P. address. In our example it is 192.168.0.20 from the Example Table |
STEP 4: Select Update Time Interval
In the same properties area that you changed the Profinet Name, click on Advanced options and select a proper Update Time. For a ConveyLinx module in ZPA mode, the recommended Update time should be between 32ms and 512ms. |
