Section 4:
Going Online with PME
After completing the above configuration and commissioning procedures in VFD Studio, you should be
ready to go online with PME and test your setup.
In PME, verify that the Target IP address(es) are correct by clicking on the top-level Target icon in the
Navigator window, and checking the Physical Port and IP Address fields in the Inspector window (Figure
27).
Figure 27: Verifying Target IP Address
The Physical Port should be set to Ethernet and the IP Address should match the configured Ethernet
interface.
If Hot Standby Redundancy has been enabled, set the other hardware configuration as the Active
configuration, and verify that IP address too.
4.1
Store the Configuration
To store a hardware configuration to each controller, the connection IP Address must be set for each.
Right-click on the Primary hardware configuration. If it is not already set as the selected hardware
configuration, do so now by clicking on Set as Selected HWC on the pop-up menu. Then click on the
Target node at the top of the folder tree. In the Inspector window, verify that the IP address is correct.
Select the secondary hardware configuration and verify it is also correct for that controller.
Storing the configuration is the same as storing configuration for any of the PACSystems products with
PROFINET devices. If Hot Standby Redundancy has been enabled, the configuration should be stored to
both targets before putting the Controllers in Run mode. If Media Redundancy has been configured,
you may now close the Ethernet ring.
Check the IO Fault table to ensure there is no Loss of Device reported for the VFD.
