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.
The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter 2. The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter will be used in applications, where it is needed to change a copper cable based PROFINET network towards Polymer Optic Fiber (POF) one. Additional POF line diagnostics offers physical monitoring of the POF cabling towards the connected device.
The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter 2.3 Mechanical characteristics The device measures 112 mm by 52 mm by 130 mm. It has two PushPull power ports and two PushPull network ports, as shown in the illustration below. The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter is not intended for outdoor usage. Figure 2 8 FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter 1324440000/00/01.
Installation and Connectors 3. 3.1 Installation and Connectors Mounting Refer to the illustrations below for the actual mounting dimensions. Four screws must be used to mount the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter 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 Mounting dimensions 1324440000/00/01.
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 fiber-optic signal cables for the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter 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-Media Converter has one 100Base-FX Ethernet-Port for Polymer Optic Fiber (POF) and one 100Base-TX connection to interface a twisted Pair PROFINET copper cable based cable. Communication on both ports has been implemented with full-duplex technology.
Installation and Connectors Use Weidmüller’s PushPull STEADYTEC® data plug: the IE-PS-V14M-RJ45-FH-P (order number 1012170000) for the RJ45 copper connection. Figure 7 3.4 The IE-PS-V14M-RJ45-FH-P data plug Grounding/earthing Proper earthing and wire routing are important in order to limit the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI).The earthing on the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter is established using the functional earth from the power plug. 12 1324440000/00/01.
Setup and Network Configuration 4. Setup and Network Configuration You can integrate the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter by one of the following mechanisms into your system: • Controller-Setup with GSD (GSDML-file) • 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 Be sure to check that the version stored on the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter is up-todate. The latest version of the GSDML file can be downloaded from the Weidmüller website: www.weidmueller.com Downloads Software Industrial Ethernet The GSDML file defines the parameters and configurable settings for the Media Converter. It is used by the PLC configuration software (e.g. Siemens Step 7) to configure and integrate the converter within the entire facility.
Setup and Network Configuration Figure 10 Configuring a new IP address in FreeCon CFG 4.3 Using a web browser to access the device After the FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter has been configured using FreeCon CFG, the web server hosted on the converter can be accessed using the assigned IP address. Use a web browser installed on a PC that is on the same subnet.
Setup and Network Configuration Figure 12 Using the web browser to configure the FreeCon Active PROFINET-FO-Media Converter The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter 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-Media Converter supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in compliance with the PROFINET standard and supports MIB-2.
Firmware Update 5. Firmware Update The converter’s firmware can be updated by uploading a newer firmware file. Updated firmware files will be made available on the Weidmüller website. The firmware file can be uploaded directly to the FTP server on the converter. To establish a FTP connection to the converter, you have to set first an IP-address out of your subnet e.g. 192.168.1.252 (see chapter 4.
Firmware Update The GSDML-file, which is located on the converter, will also be updated with the firmware update process. Check after installation whether you have the latest version. Detailed description of the firmware update you will find at: www.weidmueller.com. 18 1324440000/00/01.
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities 6. Extended Diagnostic Capabilities The FreeCon Active PROFINET-POF-Media Converter measures and reports: • Temperature of the fiber optic transceiver • Supply voltage of the fiber optic transceiver • Optical amplitude margin (OMA) • Power budget of the fiber optic transceiver These values are normally accessed through the controller software (e.g. Step 7).
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities Now add the converter to the Ethernet network and other devices by selection via the right mouse button and the menu point “insert object”. Optional you can use the hardware catalogue. Figure 15 Insert PROFINET devices. The next step is to set the IP-address and device names, to make them addressable in the PROFINET network. Figure 16 20 Edit IP-addresses 1324440000/00/01.
Extended Diagnostic Capabilities Via the properties window you get to the input mask of the device name: Figure 17 Properties window for adapting the device name 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). 1324440000/00/01.
