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.
By purchasing our product, you have the option of returning the equipment to Weidmüller at the end of its service life. . The WEEE Directive (EU Directive 2002/96 EC) governs the collection and recycling of used electrical devices. In the B2B sector (Business to Business), as of 13 August 2005, 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.
2. Overview of the FreeCon Active FO PROFINET repeater The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater is used to provide additional cable lengths beyond the 50 m restriction for a POF segment. The signal is not only amplified, it is also treated to ensure optimum signal quality. Additional diagnostic functions also allow the fibre-optic cables used to be monitored.
2.1 Electrical properties The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater typically consumes 150 mA current at 24 V DC. It works on an input voltage of between 18 and 30 V DC in a temperature range of -20 to 55°C. The maximum current on US1 or US2 must not exceed 16 A (see also Chapter 3.2 Power connection). 2.2 Internal CPU The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater is fitted with an NP40 processor and uses the HMS PROFINET protocol stack. 2.
3. Installation and connections 3.1 Installation The exact installation dimensions can be found in the diagram below. The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO 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.
3.2 Power connection 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.
We recommend labelling the cables to all connected devices. To connect the FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater, use the Weidmüller PushPull STEADYTEC® Power plug-in connectors IE-PS-VAPM-5P-2.5 (order number 2465440000). Figure 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 FO repeater is only powered via US1.
Data port TX RX (transmit receive) Use the Weidmüller PushPull STEADYTEC® data connector IE-PS-V14M-2SC-POF (order number 1191550000). Figure 6 The IE-PS-V14M-2SC-POF data connector WARNING This is a Class 1 Laser / LED product. Never look directly into the laser beam, this could seriously damage your eyes. 3.4 Earthing Proper earthing and cable laying is critical in order to minimise the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
4. Setup and network configuration The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater can be configured and integrated into your system using one of the following access methods: - PROFINET IO controller setup using GSDML file - FreeCon CFG tool from Weidmüller As soon as 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.
Figure 7 Search for Weidmüller devices in FreeCon CFG. 5 The repeater is shown in the list of devices detected as "FCA-PIR-POF". 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". Figure 8 Configuring a new IP address in FreeCon CFG 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 diagnostic 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.
4.3 Using a web browser to access the device Once the FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater has been configured using FreeCon CFG, the web server hosted on the repeater can be accessed via the assigned IP address. To do this, use a web browser installed on a PC in the same subnet. The web interface can be used to manually access the device properties (firmware version, serial number and MAC address) or to change the settings (IP, subnet mark or gateway addresses).
The IP settings can be changed in the following screen. Figure 11 Configuring the FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater using a web browser The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO 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.
4.4 SNMP configuration The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO 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.
4.7 Updating firmware The repeater firmware can be updated by uploading a new firmware file. Updated firmware files are made available on the Weidmüller website. The firmware file can be loaded onto the repeater directly via the built-in FTP server. 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.
5. Advanced diagnostics functions The FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater measures and reports temperature, supply voltage, optical performance reserves (amplitude margin) and performance budget. These values are generally accessed via the controller software. They are also directly accessible via the web server on the FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater. 5.1 PLC integration The diagnostic information can be processed by PROFINET IO-compliant controllers.
Figure 15 Issuing IP addresses The property dialogue of the PROFINET IO subscriber takes you to the device name input screen: Figure 16 Adjusting the device name in the properties dialog
Figure 17 Issuing device names Figure 18 Assigning device names Now load the project to the controller and start it up. If the PROFINET IO network is correctly configured, neither the red BF nor the red SF LED is lit on the FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater. You can view the diagnosis information for the individual ports on the FreeCon Active PROFINET FO repeater in Step 7 under Module Information.
