Before You Begin
Before attempting to use the application examples in this chapter, make sure:
z your Advantys modules are assembled, installed, and powered according to your
particular system, application, and network requirements
z you know the input and output process data lengths for your specific configuration
(the sample island assembly’s (see page 78) input length is 160 bits and the
output length is 64 bits)
You should have a working familiarity with both the INTERBUS fieldbus protocol and
your configuration software, either SyCon or CMD.
NOTE: For specific information about your configuration software, consult the
manufacturer’s documentation included with your Hilscher (SyCon) or Phoenix
Contact (CMD) product.
SyCon Considerations
You should have the basic EDS file and corresponding bitmap files that were
supplied with the STB NIB 2212 INTERBUS NIM (also available at www.schneider-
automation.com), or you have created an EDS (see page 85) that is specific to the
sample island assembly (see page 78) with the Advantys or SyCon configuration
software.
CMD Considerations
You should have the Schneider device database, Schneider_Device_DB, available
at www.schneiderautomation.com. It includes the Advantys STB catalog entry. If
you don’t have this database, you can create a configuration-specific device by
following the instructions for CMD configuration elsewhere in this chapter
(see page 87).
The sample island assembly’s (see page 78) input length is 160 bits and the output
length is 64 bits. If you do not account for the entire data length of your island,
process data will be truncated or connection to the network will be impossible.
