Fieldbus Setup Connector, J3
This connector is a 10-pin female flat cable connector directly connected to the Fieldbus
communication device installed in the system based on order options. You should use SyCon
program to set up the communication module.
SyCon is a universal Fieldbus configuration tool developed by Hilscher Corporation and is used
to configure the PMAC Gateway. Delta Tau has licensed SyCon and it is provided as part of the
PMAC Gateway product. The Hilscher license agreement, presented during the installation
process, still applies.
Besides being able to configure Fieldbus systems like ProfiBus, DeviceNet, CANopen, and
ControlNET, SyCon can also configure Interbus, SDS, etc. SyCon is a common tool that
provides consistent user interface for all protocols for both masters and slaves.
SyCon checks the dependencies between the devices, checks for configuration conflicts and
warns of possible errors. Some protocols support standardized files containing information
about all features and limitations of the slave device. SyCon uses these files for the
configuration.
After configuration, switch SyCon into diagnostic mode to monitor all status information of
devices connected to the network. For example, the node list or slave diagnostic information
can be seen. If a slave is not operating correctly, it will be displayed in a different color,
normally red.
The base address for master modules is located at memory location $6D000 and for slave
modules at $6D700.
