Downloading to the CNC
The procedure for downloading a pmb file to the CNC is described
below.
NOTE
Downloading to the CNC causes initialization of all
communication parameters for the PROFIBUS-DP
master function that have already been set on the
CNC side. It should be particularly noted that all
slave parameters for 125 stations are also
initialized when the PROFIBUS software series is
6557/09 or later or 655G.
When the CNC side has parameters already set, it
is recommended that you back up the parameters
for precautionary purposes. You can back up
communication parameters for the PROFIBUS-DP
master function by using the Get from NC
(uploading) function (see Subsection 4.4.4) of the
file management function. When the PROFIBUS
software series is 6557/09 or later or 655G,
however, you can only back up slave parameters
(for up to 32 stations) that are set to “ENABLE” on
the CNC-side setting screen.
Procedure
1 With the PROFIBUS configuration tool, choose [Communication]
then [S
et to NC]. The Set to NC screen appears.
In IP Address, Port No., and TimeOut, the values set on the
Machine Property screen of the file management function are
input.
In File Name, the pmb file with the same name as the currently
activated pme file is specified.
Make sure that these values are correct.
Click [OK] to start downloading to the CNC.
2 With the setting screen for the PROFIBUS-DP master function on
the CNC side, check that the parameters are rewritten.
