Safety Notices 1. Safety Notices 1.1 Proper and intended use NOTE This device is intended for use in applications as described in the operating instructions only. Any other form of usage is not permitted and can lead to accidents or destruction of the device. Using the products in non-approved applications will lead immediately to the expiration of all guarantee and warranty claims on the part of the operator against the manufacturer.
Safety Notices 1.6 Recycling in accordance with WEEE B-to-B disposal Dear Weidmüller Customer, Purchasing our product gives you the opportunity to return the device to Weidmüller at the end of its service life. . The EU Directive 2002/ 96 EC (WEEE) regulates the return and recycling of waste electrical and electronics equipment.
Overview of the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater 2. Overview of the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater is used to refresh the fibre-optic signal over long industrial fibre optic paths. The additional diagnostic functions enable it to also monitor the fibre-optic lines used for industrial and robotics applications.
Overview of the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater 2.1 Electrical characteristics The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater uses a typical input current between 150 mA to 200 mA. It operates with an input voltage ranging from 18 to 30 VDC and a temperature range between -20 to 55 °C. The maximum power must not exceed 24 V and 16 A on either US1 or US2 at 40 °C (see chapter 3.2 power connection). 2.2 Internal CPU The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater is equipped with an ERTEC 200 processor.
Installation and Connectors 3. Installation and Connectors 3.1 Mounting Refer to the illustrations below for the actual mounting dimensions. Four screws must be used to mount the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater to a wall. Use the device itself as a guide to mark the proper locations for the four screws. We recommend using M4x10mm screws or longer. Figure 3 10 Mounting dimensions 1253240000/00/02.
Installation and Connectors 3.2 Power connection WARNING Safety First! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment. The fibre-optic signal cables for the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater can be routed in a single cabling channel together with the power cabling.
Installation and Connectors 3.3 Data connection The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater has two 100BaseFX Ethernet ports for polymer optical fibre (POF). These SC-type fibre ports are fairly straightforward to connect since optical-fibre connections do not require the circuit needed for electrical signals. One of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
Setup and Network Configuration 4. Setup and Network Configuration The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater can be configured and integrated into your system using either of the two available access methods: controller setup with GSDML file or Weidmüller FreeCon CFG access. Once a proper IP address has been assigned, you can also access and configure the device using a web browser. Note that the factory default IP address is 0.0.0.
Setup and Network Configuration 4.2 Setup with Weidmüller FreeCon CFG The software utility “FreeCon CFG” can also be used to configure the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POFRepeater. This software – which can be downloaded free from the Weidmüller website – scans the Ethernet and displays any FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater that it finds. The program can access the settings of any device on the network using UDP on port 3250.
Setup and Network Configuration Figure 9 Configuring a new IP address in FreeCon CFG 1253240000/00/02.
Setup and Network Configuration 4.3 Using a web browser to access the device After the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater has been configured using FreeCon CFG, the web server hosted on the repeater can be accessed using the assigned IP address. Use a web browser installed on a PC that is on the same subnet. The web interface can be used to manually display the device properties (firmware version, serial number and MAC address) or to change settings (IP, subnet mask or gateway addresses).
Setup and Network Configuration The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater must be power cycled after clicking on the STORE CONFIGURATION button. The changes will then take effect after the reboot. 4.4 SNMP configuration The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in compliance with the PROFINET standard and supports MIB-2. A Network Management Station can be used to remotely configure, monitor and manage the repeater.
Setup and Network Configuration Figure 12 Transferring the firmware file with FTP Use the command “ftp IP-address” to establish the FTP-connection to the repeater and confirm the user login with Enter. The confirmation “user logged in” appears. With the command “put filename” you can transfer the new firmware to the device. Note The transfer of the firmware needs only a few seconds, then follows a check and the update of the repeater, which needs up to 2 minutes.
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities 5. Extended Diagnostic Capabilities The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater measures and reports the temperature, voltage supply, optical amplitude margin and power budget. These values are normally accessed through the controller software (Step 7). They can also be accessed directly by connecting to the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POFRepeater’s web server. 5.1 PLC integration The diagnostic information can be handled by PROFINET PLCs.
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities Figure 14 Projecting PROFINET devices The next step ist to set the IP-address and device names, to make them addressable in the PROFINET network. Figure 15 20 Setting IP-addresses 1253240000/00/02.
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities Via the properties window you get to the input mask of the device name: Figure 16 Properties window for adapting the device name Figure 17 Setting device name 1253240000/00/02.
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities Figure 18 Assigning device name Now load the project into the PLC and switch it to the run-mode. If the PROFINET network is well configured, the two LEDs SF and BF will be switched off. You can see the diagnostic information of each part in the module information window (Step 7). Figure 19 22 Step 7 Configurations 1253240000/00/02.
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities 5.2 Web browser diagnostics You can connect to the web server on the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater to access the diagnostic measurements; simply enter the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater’s assigned IP address in your browser window and navigate to the diagnostics page. The following diagnostics screen will be shown: Figure 20 Browser-based diagnostics view Temperature The actual temperatures of both fibre-optic transceivers are shown here.
Status and Maintenance 6. Status and Maintenance 6.1 LED indicators There are six LEDs visible on the top of the device; the function of each is described in the tables below. Figure 21 6.1.1 The six LEDs on the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Repeater The FO1 and FO2 LEDs These two LEDs show the status of the fibre-optic transmission lines on ports 1 (FO1) and 2 (FO2). Colour Status Indicates Yellow On (solid) 100 Mbps link on TP port is active and transmission okay.
Status and Maintenance 6.1.3 The SF LED This LED is used to indicate a system failure or error. Colour Status Indicates Red On (solid) One or more of the following errors: - FO-transceiver not okay, - Configuration error, - Station name has not been assigned, - IP number has not been assigned, - No connection to I/O controller, - Power margin below 2 dB. Off Status okay.
