2.1.3.2 H-rail mounting

The modules are mounted on an H-rail 35 mm × 7.5 mm in accordance with EN 60715.

i

When selecting screws for H-rail mounting, a distance of 3 mm between the H-rail and the linkage elements must be maintained.

The distance between the retaining screws for mounting the H-rail must not exceed a maximum of 50 mm.

Function

2.1.3.3 Mounting clearances

To ensure sufficient ventilation of the modules, maintain the following minimum clearances when mounting the automation system CPX-E.

2.1.4 Power supply concept

The Automation system CPX-E uses separate voltages to supply the electronics and sensors ( U_EL/SEN ) and to supply outputs ( U_OUT ). The equivalent voltage potentials (+24 V DC and 0 V DC) are connected to each other in the terminal strips.

This enables the applicable voltage to be transferred from one module to the next.

Operating power supply U_EL/SEN

The operating voltage supply U_EL/SEN to supply the electronics and sensors is fed in at the bus module or controller and distributed internally to the entire Automation system CPX-E.

Function

Connection [XD1], [XD2] ^1)		Signal
	0 +24 V DC operating voltage supply U EL/SEN
	1
	2 0 V DC operating voltage supply U EL/SEN
	3

1) Connections XDx.0 and XDx.1 and also XDx.2 and XDx.3 are each connected to each other in the terminal strip.
Tab. 6: Connection [XD1], [XD2]

i

To comply with the certification requirements of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) for the USA and Canada, within the scope of UL/CSA, depending on the current consumption, the parallel connection of the operating voltage supply to [XD1] and [XD2] is required 4.3 Technical data for UL certification.

Load voltage supply U_OUT

The load voltage supply Uout to supply the outputs is fed directly to the module separately for every module with outputs. In the following example with the output module CPX-E-8DO this is the output module CPX-E-4AO-UI and the IO-Link master module CPX-E-4IOL.

Function

5 Output module CPX-E-4AO-U-I

6 IO-Link master module CPX-E-4IOL
7 Load voltage supply U_OUT
8 Operating power supply U_EL/SEN
9 Linkage element

T

The operating voltage supply U_EL/SEN and load voltage supply U_OUT are routed separately from each other within the automation system CPX-E.

If this separation is not required for the respective use case, both voltages can also be supplied from a common voltage source. In this case, it must be possible to disconnect the load voltage supply separately.

2.2.3 Forcing

2.2.3.1 Basic principles

The Force function enables manipulation of signal states independently of actual operating status. Force enables input and output signals to be overwritten. Input signals that are actually present or changes in status by program will be ignored. The input signals actually pending and the output signals generated by the user program only become valid again when the Force function is deactivated. The Force function is used mainly in the commissioning phase in order to set certain signals to the desired status for test purposes even if the wiring is not complete.

2.2.3.2 Parameterisation

With the automation system CPX-E Force parameterisation can be used for:
-digital inputs and outputs
-Solenoid coils (only in combination with the CPX-E-4IOL module)
-Inputs and outputs of the I/O diagnostic interface and status bits
- analogue inputs and outputs
Force is released or blocked globally for the automation system CPX-E with the "Force mode" system parameter.

System parameters	Settings Description
Force mode blocked	(default) Force blocked	1)
	enabled Force enabled	1)

1) The setting is applicable for the complete automation system CPX-E.
Tab. 8: "Force mode" system parameter

The signal status can be specified according to the channel (input/output) for every module.

Module parameters	Settings Description
Force mode blocked	(default) Force is blocked for the channel.
	released Accept the signal status defined by Force state.
Force state
Digital signal Reset	signal (default) Reset input/output signal.
	Set signal Set input/output signal.
Analogue signal Analogue value (0 = default) Value of the analogue signal.

Tab. 9: "Force mode" module parameter

2.2.3.3 Mode of operation

Input information actually present will be replaced by the values entered in the Force table in the process image for the inputs.

Information actually present in the process image for the outputs will be replaced by the values entered in the Force table and transmitted to the physical output.

2.2.4 Signal status in the event of an error (fail safe)

2.2.4.1 Fundamentals

The fail-safe parameterisation is used to help specify the signal status which the outputs are to assume in the event of communication errors in the network (fail-safe status). This should establish a defined machine/system status in the event of communication errors in the network (e.g. failure of the higher-order controller).

2.2.4.2 Parameterisation

With the automation system CPX-E Force fail-safe parameterisation can be used for:

- digital outputs

-analogue outputs

-Solenoid coils (only in combination with the CPX-E-4IOL module or digital outputs)

The “fail safe” system parameter can be used to specify globally the signal status that the outputs are to assume in the event of communication errors in the network, e.g. in the event of:

- Communication failure (network interruption, higher-order controller failure)

-Communication stop

"Reset outputs" means the following:

• Monostable valves move to the initial position

- Bistable valves remain in the current position

- Mid-position valves go into mid-position (pressurised, exhausted or blocked, depending on valve type).

2.2.5 Signal status in idle state (idle mode)

2.2.5.1 Basic principles

i

This function is only relevant for certain network protocols → Manual for the specific bus module.

The Idle mode parameterisation is used to help specify the signal status which the outputs are to assume when switching to Idle status. This should establish a defined machine/system status.

2.2.5.2 Parameterisation

With the automation system CPX-E Idle mode parameterisation can be used for:

-digital outputs
- analogue outputs
- Solenoid coils (only in combination with the CPX-E-4IOL module or digital outputs)

The ‘Idle mode’ system parameter can be used to globally specify the signal status which the outputs are to assume when switching to Idle status.

System parameters	Settings Description
System Idle mode Res	Reset output (default). Reset all outputs.
	Hold last state Retain current signal status	for all outputs.
	Assume Idle mode value. Adopt the signal	status defined for the relevant channel.

Tab. 14: Diagnostics options

2.3.1 LED indicators

Various LED indicators are available on every module for visualisation of status and errors. A distinction is made here between system-specific LED indicators and those specific to the module or network.
i
The system-specific LED indicators are described in this document.
The LED indicators specific to the module or network are described in the documentation for the respective module.

Tab. 18: Modify [M] – parameterisation modified or force active

2.3.2 Status bits

Regardless of the bus module used, the automation system CPX-E provides 8 status bits for displaying common diagnostic messages (global error messages).

Status bits are configured like inputs. Which input addresses are to be assigned to status bits depend on the network protocol Manual for the relevant bus module.

i

The status bits supply coded diagnostic information in form of 0 or 1 signals.

If all status bits send a 0-signal, no error is reported.

• Bits 0 ... 3 specify the module types in which faults have occurred.
• Bits 4 ... 7 specify the type of fault.

Bit Diagnostic information with logic 1 Description
0 Error at valve Module type in which an error has occurred
1 Error at output
2 Error at input
3 Error in analogue, function or technology module
4 Undervoltage Type of error
5 Short circuit/overload
6 Wire break
7 other error

Tab. 19: Bit allocation of the diagnostic information

Tab. 22: "Undervoltage of sensor supply" status information (example)

If different errors occur simultaneously on different module types, errors cannot be assigned. To clearly determine errors, the I/O diagnostic interface can be used 2.3.3 I/O diagnostics interface.

2.3.3 I/O diagnostics interface

For networks that do not have extensive diagnostic functions, the diagnostic information for the automation system CPX-E is available via the I/O diagnostic interface. The I/O diagnostic interface enables network-independent read access to diagnostic information, data and parameters via internal inputs and outputs (16 I/16 O).

2.3.3.1 Organisation of internal data and parameters

Internal data and parameters of the modules and of the automation system CPX-E are stored in a common memory area. The I/O diagnostic interface can provide read access to individual bytes of this memory area with the aid of the function number.

i Parameters can be modified with the aid of network-specific functions, depending on the network used → 3 Parameterisation.

2.3.3.2 Mode of operation

Detailed diagnostic information can be accessed via the I/O diagnostic interface.

For example, it is possible to ascertain exactly the module and channel on which an error has occurred.

16 input bits and 16 output bits, through which all diagnostic data can be retrieved, are available for accessing the system diagnostics.

i

The addresses of the input and output bits of the I/O diagnostics interface depend on the network

→ Manual for the relevant bus module.

2.3.3.3 Output bits

The function number of the desired data is specified in binary coded form using the output bits A0 ... A12 of the I/O diagnostic interface. The function number is accepted if control bit O15 returns a logic 1.

Fig. 14: Output bits

1 Bit number

2 Outputs

3 Control bit

2.3.3.4 Input bits

Example 1: check whether diagnostic data is available

Function number 1937 specifies whether there are diagnostic data and contains, where applicable, the number of the first module on which an error has occurred 3.10.2 Module number and diagnostic status.

-Function number 1937 decimal = 11110010001 binary

Reading out function number 1937

Diagnostic data are available if bit 6 returns a logic 1. Bits 0 ... 5 then include the module number of the first faulty module → 3.10.2 Module number and diagnostic status.

For example, if there is an error at module 5 (5 decimal = 101 binary), the following input data would be pending:

Response data (example - error at module 5)

Detailed information on the module diagnostic data 3.11 Module diagnostic data.

Example 2: read out current error numbers of module 5

The module number of the faulty module can be used to ascertain the function numbers of the relevant module diagnostic data 3.11 Module diagnostic data.

For example, module diagnostic data can be:

-the number of the faulty channel

-the module error number

For example, the following function number can be used to ascertain the module error number of module 5:

-Function number = 2008 + 4 × 5 + 1 = 2029

-2029 decimal = 11111101101 binary

Reading out the module error number of module 5

The response data for the case in which error number 4 (4 decimal = 100 binary) is pending is shown as an example in the following.

Fig. 20: Response data with error number 4

2.3.4 Diagnostic memory

2.3.4.1 Fundamentals

The diagnostic memory is used for logging error statuses. Recording the time when errors occur, and error sequences makes it easier to find the cause of errors which are otherwise difficult to locate. Errors that occur during operation are entered in the diagnostic memory. Depending on parameterisation, the first or the last 40 entries are saved, as well as the time measured from the moment the power supply was switched on.

Various diagnostic memory filters can be parameterised with diagnostic memory parameters → 3.8 Diagnostic memory parameters (trace parameters). These filters can be used to suppress the recording of specific statuses of the automation system, and to control starting and stopping recording.

The following diagram shows the mode of operation of the diagnostic memory filters.

Function

MN = Module number

FN = Error number

CN = Channel number

Fig. 21: Mode of operation of the diagnostic memory filters

2.3.4.3 Mode of operation

A maximum of 40 diagnostic messages can be saved in the diagnostic memory. Using appropriate software from Festo or using a controller CPX-E-CEC-... via CODESYS it is possible to parameterise which messages are saved and how these are saved, as well as other functions. This includes how long they are stored for or the diagnostic memory mode ("Entries remanent at Power ON") or the memory procedure ("Run/Stop" setting).

Explanations of the major settings can be found in the following sections.

i

Suitable software for parameterisation is available in the Festo Support Portal → www.festo.com/sp. Information on using the software can be found in the integrated Help function.

Function

Memory duration or diagnostic memory mode

‘Trace parameters’ > ‘Entries remanent at Power ON’ or ‘Diag.Buffer – Mode’:

- 'Active' or 'remanent':

The diagnostic messages remain saved when the operating voltage U_EL/SEN is switched off or after a power failure.

-‘Inactive’ or ‘not remanent’:

The diagnostic messages are lost after the operating voltage U_EL/SEN is switched off or after a power failure.

Memory procedure

‘Trace parameters’ > ‘Run/Stop 1’ or ‘Diag.Buffer – Mode’:

- 'Save first 40 entries' or 'Stop after 40 records...' (stop after 40 entries...):

The bus module saves the first 40 diagnostic messages. Additional, subsequent messages are not saved.

- ‘Stop after 40 records...’ or ‘Record continually...’ (continuous recording...):

Continuous saving of the diagnostic messages. After the 40th message, the oldest message will be overwritten.

Error end filter

‘Trace parameters’ > ‘Fault end filter’ or ‘Diag.Buffer – Error end’:

- ‘Record outgoing faults’ or ‘Record coming/going’ (record incoming/outgoing errors):

When an error occurs and is eliminated, the error number and the time of the event are recorded.

- ‘Do not record outgoing faults’ or ‘Record coming only’ (record incoming errors only):

The error number and the time of the event are recorded only when an error occurs.

If the error is eliminated, the time of the event will not be recorded.

2.3.5 Error classes

Potential errors of the automation system CPX-E are classified in 3 error classes (1 ... 3) with different priority depending on the severity of the error. If an error occurs, the system error LED (SF) flashes to indicate the error class.

Error class Flashing	sequence of the system error LED (SF)	Error weighting Priority
1 1x flashes, pause	time minor low
2 2x flashes, pause	time medium medium
3 3x flashes, pause	time high high

Tab. 23: Error classes

If multiple errors occur simultaneously, the error with the highest priority will have precedence; in other words:

–The system error LED flashes according to the higher priority.

- The number of the error with the higher priority will be entered in the system diagnostic data under function number 1938 (error number).

Within an error class, errors of modules with a lower module number have higher priority. That means that, within an error class, errors on

- module number 0 have the highest priority

-module number 1 have the second highest priority

-...

3 Parameterisation

The behaviour of the automation system CPX-E or the behaviour of individual modules and channels can be adapted to the particular application by parameterisation. Parameterisation can be performed with suitable Festo software or by the higher-order controller. The parameters are preset at the factory.

i

The parameterisation options depend on the installed bus module or controller Manual for the specific bus module/controller.

3.1 Parameterisation using Festo software

i

Suitable software for parameterisation is available in the Festo Support Portal → www.festo.com/sp. Information on using the software can be found in the integrated Help function.

3.2 Parameterisation using the higher-order controller

There are various options for parameterisation of the automation system CPX-E using the higher-order controller.

Parameterisation options Description/benefits

3.5 System parameters

3.5.1 Monitoring

Activates or deactivates (suppresses) monitoring of short circuit/overload and undervoltage for the entire automation system.

Values: 1 = active (default); 0 = inactive

If monitoring is active, an error reported by the module will be:

• sent to the higher-level master
  -entered, if applicable, in the diagnostic memory (depending on the filter settings)
  -entered in the module diagnostic data and, if applicable, in the status bits
• indicated by the red common error LED on the module

System parameter – monitor Selection via parameter
	F no.1)4401	Bit
		7 6 5	4 3 2	1 0
Short circuit/overload in sensor supply (SCS)									%
Short circuit/overload at the outputs (SCO)								%
Undervoltage at outputs (UOUT)							%

1) Function number
Tab. 35: System parameter – monitor

i

Monitoring can also be set separately for each module using the module parameter 'Set module monitoring' 3.6.1 Module monitoring. The mode of operation of the channel error LED remains unaltered.

3.5.2 Fail safe

The ‘Fail safe’ system parameter specifies which signal status the outputs are to assume in the event of communication errors in the network, e.g. in the event of network interruption, failure of the higher-order controller, communication stop.

System parameter – fail safe Selection via parameter
	F no.1)4402	Bit
		7 6 5	4 3 2	1 0
Reset all outputs (default) 0 0
Hold last state (retain signal status) 0 1
Assume Fault mode 1 0

1) Function number
Tab. 36: System parameter – fail safe

i

When switching from ‘Fault mode assume’ to ‘reset all outputs’ or to ‘Hold last state’ the channel-oriented fail-safe settings (module parameter ‘Fault mode’ and ‘Fault state’) are reset automatically for safety reasons to prevent unwanted signal statuses. The fault mode status is set using the channel-specific module parameters 3.7.2 Fail safe channel x.

3.5.3 Force mode

The ‘Force mode’ system parameter specifies for the entire system whether the Force function is disabled or enabled.

System parameter – force mode Selection via parameter
	F no.1)4402	Bit
		7 6 5	4 3 2	1 0
Force mode blocked (default) 0 0
Force mode enabled (retain signal status) 0 1

1) Function number
Tab. 37: System parameter – force mode

T

By changing this parameter, the channel-orientated Force settings (module parameters ‘Force mode’ and ‘Force state’) are reset automatically for safety reasons in the following cases in order to avoid undesired signal statuses:

• Change to Festo software:
  When switching from "enabled" to "blocked"
• Change over the network:
  When switching from "blocked" to "enabled"
  Force signals have precedence over fail-safe signals.

3.5.4 Idle mode

The ‘Idle mode’ system parameter defines the signal status that outputs should have if the system switches to the Idle status.

System parameter – Idle mode1)	Selection via parameter
	F no.2)4402	Bit
		7 6 5	4 3 2	1 0
Reset all outputs (default) 0 0
Hold last state (retain signal status) 0 1
Assume Idle mode 1 0

1) This parameter is only relevant with specific network protocols → Manual for the specific bus module.
2) Function number

Tab. 38: System parameter – Idle mode

i

When switching from 'Idle mode assume' to 'Reset all outputs' or to 'Hold last state' the channel-oriented idle mode settings ('Idle mode' and 'Idle state' module parameters) are automatically reset for safety reasons to prevent undesired signal statuses.

3.5.5 System start

The ‘system start’ system parameter specifies the starting behaviour of the system and saves all current parameter settings and the current configuration.

System parameter – system start Selection via parameter
System start with default parameterisation (factory setting) and current CPX configuration; external parameterisation is possible (default)			0
System start with saved parameterisation and saved CPX configuration; parameters and configuration are saved to non-volatile memory; external parameterisation is blocked; the Modify (M) LED on the bus module lights			1

1) Function number
Tab. 39: System parameter – system start

i

If bit 6 is set to 1, the current parameter settings will be write-protected, and the current configuration will be saved, except for bit 6 itself and the 'Force channel X' module parameters.

Recommendation:

“System start with default parameterisation and current CPX configuration”. The desired parameterisation can then be created in the start-up phase or after a network interruption, e.g. by the interface module or the scanner/master (depending on the network used).

If “System start with default parameterisation and current CPX configuration” is active, the factory settings for all module and system parameters will be applied after switching on and off.

3.5.6 Analogue process value representation

The ‘analogue process data representation’ system parameter switches the data format or byte sequence for displaying analogue process values.

System parameter – analogue process value representation1)	Selection via parameter
	F no.2)4402	Bit
		7 6 5	4 3 2	1 0
Byte sequence INTEL format (default):Least significant bit left, most significant bit right (LSB-MSB)3)		0
