Configuring and installing the field multiplexer systems
with the help of an example project
This section will use an example project to illustrate the configuration and installation of a
field multiplexer station. It is designed to help you to carry out the following steps on your
own project.
The following sequence should be observed during configuration and installation:
•
Describe and define the task
(number of signals, transmission medium, distance etc.)
•
Select the required I/O terminals
•
Consider the system restrictions
•
Select suitable power supply units
•
Provide surge protection
•
Select the transmission medium
•
Determine the transmission time
•
Install the system and configure the field multiplexer
7.1
Describing and defining the task
Example project
Signals are to be transmitted from a control room to a pumping station over a distance of
3.2 km. An existing copper cable can be used as the transmission medium. 4 digital input
signals, 2 digital output signals and 2 analog input signals are to be transmitted.
7.2
Selecting the required I/O terminals
For operation, the field multiplexer station I/O terminals must be set up in a complementary
arrangement (see also Figure 2-1 on page 11). The field multiplexer does not process the
transmitted data, but merely transmits it to the opposite station.
Select the appropriate Inline terminals for the I/O signals in your project.
7.2.1
Devices permitted in a field multiplexer station
Table 7-1 shows possible terminal combinations in a complementary station arrangement.
The software is available as a configuration tool for a field multiplexer station.
ACHTUNG: Configuration error
Terminal combinations other than the ones listed in Table 7-1 are not permitted. They will
be detected as configuration errors and indicates with the CE LED (see Section
