CP1616

Description

The Siemens CP1616 board must be installed in the ibaPDA PC in order to obtain this interface in the I/O Manager. The card is required for connecting to a PROFINET communication network. Prior thereto, the board needs to be properly configured with SIMATIC system software (STEP 7, NetPro, etc.).

Up to 4 CP1616 cards are supported per ibaPDA computer.

If the card has been setup correctly and connected to an active PROFINET network, the status bar shows the name of the controller (CP1616) and its status (online/offline). Extensive information regarding interrupts is available for diagnostic purposes.

A maximum of up to 1024 modules are supported per interface.

Note

A different and more flexible PROFINET connection option is the use of the ibaBM-PN device in conjunction with an ibaFOB-io-D-card.

Interface configuration

In principle, no settings are required at this stage. The following buttons are available:

<Reset>: resets the card.
<Open log file>: opens the PROFINET log file.
<Dump firmware trace buffer>: This button is used to issue the signal buffer of the firmware as a text file. ibaPDA can automatically detect CP1616 firmware errors. If such an error occurs, ibaPDA will output the firmware signal buffer automatically and record an error message in the event log.
<Reset counters>: resets all diagnostic counters and backup times Resets all diagnostic counters and copy times.

Connection table

The table gives an overview of all receivers configured on the card. With an established connection, the receiver has a green background. A red background shows that there is no connection.

Each row, i.e., each receiver address, corresponds to a module configured under this interface.
