1. Safety information 1.1 Intended use NOTE The device is only intended for the applications described in the operating instructions. Any other usage is unauthorised and can lead to accidents or damage to the device. The unauthorised use of the product shall result in an immediate invalidation of any warranty and guarantee claims from the operator against the manufacturer.
cycle. . The WEEE Directive (EU Directive 2002/96 EC) governs the collection and recycling of used electrical devices. In the B2B sector (Business to Business) from 13.8.2005 onwards manufacturers of electrical appliances are required to take back and recycle electrical appliances sold after this date. Electrical devices must no longer be disposed of through the "normal" waste disposal channels. Electrical devices must be separately recycled and disposed of.
2. Overview of the FreeCon Active PROFINETIRT Repeater The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater is used to provide additional cable lengths beyond the 100 m limitation of Profinet copper cabling. The signal is not only amplified, it is also processed to ensure optimum signal quality. It fulfils important functions: Provision of important PROFINET diagnostic functions. • Extension of the permissible cable segment length by 100 m.
2.3 Mechanical characteristics The device has dimensions of 112 mm x 53 mm x 130 mm. As shown in the figure below, it is fitted with two PushPull power ports and two PushPull copper data ports. The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater is not suitable for outdoor use. Fig.
3. Installation and connections 3.1 Installation The exact installation dimensions can be found in the figure below. The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater is mounted to a wall using four screws. Use the device as a template to draw the correct position of the four screws. We recommend using M4x10 mm or longer screws. Fig. 3 Installation dimensions 3.
WARNING Safety takes priority! Calculate the maximum current generated in the individual wires. Note all relevant regulations governing the maximum permissible current for each wire cross-section. If the power exceeds the maximum permissible value, this may cause the wiring to overheat, which will cause serious damage to your devices and equipment.
Fig. 4 The IE-PS-VAPM-5P-2.5 Power plug-in connector Pin assignment for the Power plug-in connector: 1: L1 24 V DC (US1+) 2: N1 0 V DC (US1-) 3: L2 24 V DC (US2+) 4: N2 0 V DC (US2-) 5: Functional earth (FE) The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater is only powered via US1. US2 is fed through the device and only used as the power supply for other connected devices. 3.
3.4 Earthing Proper earthing and cable laying is critical in order to minimise the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater is earthed via the functional earth on the power connector.
4. Setup and network configuration The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater can be configured and integrated into your system using one of the following two access methods: - PROFINET IO controller setup with GSDML file - FreeCon CFG tool from Weidmüller Once a valid IP address has been assigned, you can also access and configure the device via a web browser. Please note that the factory setting for the IP address is 0.0.0.

Double-click on the IP address to change it (the actual IP address may be different to that shown). Depending on your network, you can either set a static IP address or select "DHCP on". Fig.
6 Click on the "Set" button to apply the new settings. 7 Click on the "Scan" button again to display the values you have changed. 8 Right-click on the Repeater entry. This brings up a menu from which you can access the device web page or the configuration page, or run the PROFINET "Wink" function. Fig. 9 4.
Fig. 10 Properties of the FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater in the web browser view The IP settings can be changed in the following screen.
Fig. 11 Configuring the FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater using a web browser The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater must be switched off and restarted after clicking on the "STORE CONFIGURATION" button. The changes only become effective after a restart. In order to download the GSD file, the "GSD File" page must be selected. After pressing "Download GSD file", a ZIP file containing the necessary files is downloaded.
Fig. 12 4.4 Downloading the GSDML file from the FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater SNMP configuration The FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in accordance with the PROFINET Standard and supports MIB-2. The Repeater can be configured, monitored and administered remotely from a network management station. In order to access data from the device's Management Information Base (MIB), a message-based communications schema is used. 4.
In order to establish an FTP connection to the Repeater, first issue an IP address from your subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.101. (See Section 4.2)Use the "ftp IP address" command to establish an FTP connection to the FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater and confirm the user login (User + Password) by pressing Enter. The confirmation "User logged in" appears. Switch to the "Firmware" directory using the "cd firmware" command. Enter the command "put filename" to transfer the new firmware to the device. Fig.
5. Status and maintenance 5.1 LED indicators The device has eight LEDs on the top. Their function is described in the table below. Fig. 21 5.1.1 The eight LEDs on the FreeCon Active PROFINET-IRT Repeater LEDs LNK1 and LNK2 These LEDs show the connection status of the Ethernet transfer conductors to ports 1 (XF1) and 2 (XF2). Colour Status Meaning Green On (continuous) 100 Mbps connection is active and transmission is OK.
Colour Status Meaning Yellow Off (continuous) No activity Yellow Flashes PROFINET activity 5.1.3 LEDs US1 and US2 These two LEDs are controlled by the hardware as follows. Colour Status Meaning Green On Current input US1 (L1) or US2 (L2) is supplied with current. Off Current input US1 (L1) or US2 (L2) is not supplied with current, or the voltage is below 18 V. 5.1.4 SF LED This LED indicates a system failure or fault.
- Connection with IO Controller established, but IO Controller in STOP status or IRT synchronization not finished 23
