3 Fast commissioning / operating principle

Notice!
Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the PROFINET gateway MA 248i. Detailed explanations for the listed points can be found throughout the handbook.

3.1 Mounting

The gateway mounting plate MA 248i can be mounted in two different ways:
•using four threaded holes (M6) or
• using two M8x6 screws on the two lateral grooves.

3.2 Device arrangement and selection of the mounting location

Ideally, the MA 248i should be mounted so that it is easily accessible near the Ident device in order to ensure good operability, e.g., for configuring the connected device.
Detailed information can be found in chapter 6.3.1.

3.3 Electrical connection

The devices from the MA 2xxi family feature four M12 connectors/sockets which are coded differently depending on the interface.
The voltage supply (PWR IN) as well as the switching inputs/outputs (PWR OUT or PWR IN) are connected there. The number and function of the switching inputs/outputs is dependent on the connected end device.
An internal RS 232 interface is used for connecting the respective Leuze device. Another internal RS 232 interface functions as a service interface for configuring the connected device via a serial null modem cable.
Figure 3.1: MA 248i connections
Detailed information can be found in chapter 7.
Leuze electronic MA 248i 11
TNT 35/7-24V
Page 14
Fast commissioning / operating principle

3.3.1 Connecting the Leuze device

To connect the Leuze device to the internal RS 232 device interface, open the housing
of the MA 248i and lead the corresponding device cable (see chapter 14.6) through the middle threaded opening.
 Connect the cable to the internal device interface (X30, X31 or X32, see chapter 7.5.1).
Use rotary switch S4 (see chapter 8.2.5) to select the connected device.
Now screw the PG cable gland into the threaded opening to provide strain relief and
ensure protection class IP 65.
Finally, close the housing of the MA 248i.
Attention!
Only then may the supply voltage be applied. Upon startup of the MA 248i, the device selection switch is queried and the gateway auto­matically sets itself to the Leuze device.
Connecting functional earth FE
Ensure that the functional earth (FE) is connected correctly.
Unimpaired operation is only guaranteed when the functional earth is connected properly. All electrical disturbances (EMC couplings) are discharged via the functional earth connec­tion.

3.3.2 Connecting the power supply and the bus cable

Ideally, use the ready-made cables listed in chapter 14.4.3 to connect the gateway to the
power supply via the PWR IN connection.
The ready-made cables listed in chapter 14.5.4 are preferred for connecting the gateway
to the fieldbus via the HOST / BUS IN connection.
If applicable, use the BUS OUT connection if you would like to construct a network with
linear topology.

3.4 Starting the device

Apply the supply voltage +18 … 30VDC (+24VDC model); the MA 248i starts up.
The PWR LED displays that it is ready for operation.
First, you need to assign its individual device name to the MA 248i. The PLC must commu­nicate this device name to the participant during the "device naming". Further information may be found below and in chapter "Step 6 – Configuration of the device name - naming the device" on page 69.
12 MA 248i Leuze electronic
Page 15
Fast commissioning / operating principle

3.5 Commissioning the MA 248i on the PROFINET

Complete the necessary steps for commissioning a Siemens-S7 control as described
below.
Further information regarding the individual commissioning steps is provided in see chapter
12.3 "Configuration steps for a Siemens Simatic S7 control".

3.5.1 Preparing the control system

In the first step, assign an IP address to the IO Controller (S7 PLC) and prepare the control for a consistent data transmission.
Notice!
If an S7 control is used, you need to ensure that Simatic-Manager Version 5.4 + service pack 5 (V5.4+SP5) or higher is used.

3.5.2 Installation of the GSD file

For the subsequent configuration of the IO devices, e.g., MA 248i, the corresponding GSD file must be loaded first. All data in modules required for operating the device is described in this file. These are input and output data and device parameters for the functioning of the device and the definition of the control and status bits.
Install the GSD file associated with the device in the PROFINET-IO Manager of your
control.
Leuze electronic MA 248i 13
TNT 35/7-24V
Page 16
Fast commissioning / operating principle

3.5.3 Configuration

Configure the PROFINET-IO system with the HW Config of the SIMATIC Manager by
inserting the MA 248i into your project.
Figure 3.2: Assignment of the device names to IP addresses
Here, an IP address is assigned to a unique "device name".

3.5.4 Configuration of the modules

Now select a corresponding data module for the input and output area.
A number of different modules are available with various data lengths (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 32 … 1024 bytes).
Notice!
Because the data module contains 2 bytes for the control and status bytes, the actual user data length is always 2 bytes smaller than the selected data module. E.g., when using the data module with 12 bytes, there are effectively 10 bytes available for user data on the Leuze device after subtracting the 2 bytes for status and control bytes.
14 MA 248i Leuze electronic
Page 17
Fast commissioning / operating principle
Recommendation
In most cases, the 4-byte module is sufficient for the output module.
A larger module is needed, for example, if a BCL bar code scanner is to be configured by means of PT-sequences, or an RFID transponder is to be described. In these cases, larger data modules are usually sensible.
Notice!
Examples for selecting the correct data module length can be found in chapter 12.3.4, section "Examples of sensible settings for corresponding Leuze devices" on page 68.

3.5.5 Transfer of the configuration to the IO Controller

Transfer the PROFINET-IO configuration to the IO Controller (S7 PLC)
After the correct transfer to the IO Controller (S7 PLC), the PLC automatically carries out the following activities:
• Check device names
• Assignment of the IP addresses that were configured in the HW Config to the IO devices
• Establishment of a connection between the IO Controller and configured IO devices
• Cyclical data exchange
Notice!
Participants that have not been "named" cannot be contacted yet at this point in time!

TNT 35/7-24V
Page 18
Fast commissioning / operating principle

3.5.6 Configuration of the device name - device naming

PROFINET-IO defines the "naming of the device" as the creation of a name-based relation­ship for a PROFINET-IO device.
Assigning the device names to the configured IO devices
Select the respective gateway MA 248i for the "device naming" based on its MAC
address. The unique "device name" (which must match the participant in the HW Config) is then assigned to this participant.
Notice!
Multiple MA 248i can be distinguished by the MAC addresses displayed. The MAC address may be found on the name plate of the respective bar code scanner.
Figure 3.3: Assigning the device names to the configured IO devices
16 MA 248i Leuze electronic
Page 19
Fast commissioning / operating principle
MAC address - IP address -individual device name
At this point, please assign an IP address (suggested by the PLC), a subnet mask and, if
required, a router address, and assign this data to the named participant ("device name").
Figure 3.4: MAC address - IP address -individual device name
From now on, and when programming, only the unique "device name" (max. 255 characters) is used.

3.5.7 Device name check

After completing the configuration phase, recheck the "device names" that have been
assigned. Please ensure that these names are unique and that all participants are located in the same subnet.

4 Device description

4.1 General Information to the connector units

The modular interfacing unit of the MA 2xxi family is a versatile gateway for integrating Leuze RS 232 devices (e.g., BCL 22 bar code readers, RFID devices, RFM 32, …) into the respec­tive fieldbus. The MA 2xxi gateways are intended for use in industrial environments with a high protection class. Various device versions are available for the conventional fieldbuses. With a stored parameter structure for the connectable RS 232 devices, commissioning could hardly be simpler.

4.2 Characteristics of the connector units

A special characteristic of the MA 248i device family are three function modes:
1. Transparent mode In this function mode, the MA 248i functions as a pure gateway with automatic com­munication from and to the PLC. Absolutely no special programming by the user is necessary for this purpose. The data is not buffered or stored temporarily, however. Instead, it is "passed on".
The programmer must make certain to retrieve the data from the input memory of the PLC at the right time, as it is otherwise overwritten by new data.
2. Collective mode In this operating mode, data and telegram parts are temporarily stored in the memory (buffer) of the MA and sent to the RS 232 interface or to the PLC in a telegram by means of bit activation. In this mode, however, all communication control must be pro­grammed on the PLC.
This function mode is helpful, for example, for very long telegrams or when one or more codes with long code lengths are read.
3. Command mode
With this special operating mode, it is possible to use the first bytes of the data range
to transmit predefined commands to the connected device by means of bit activation. For this purpose, device-dependent commands (so-called online commands) are pre­defined via the device selection switch, see chapter 16 "Specifications for Leuze end devices".

RS 232 (V.24)
The MA 248i modular interfacing unit is used for interconnecting Leuze devices, such as the BCL 8, BCL 22, etc., directly to the fieldbus. This is accomplished by transmitting the data from the Leuze device via an RS 232 (V.24) interface to the MA 248i where a module converts it into the fieldbus format. The data format of the RS 232 interface corresponds to the standard Leuze data format.
Device description
Figure 4.1: Connection of a Leuze device (BCL, RFI, RFM, …) to the fieldbus
The cable of the respective Leuze device is guided through cable bushings with PG cable glands into the MA 248i and connected there with the PCB connectors.
The MA 248i is intended as a gateway for any RS 232 devices, e.g., BCL 300i, hand-held scanners, scales or for coupling a multiNet network.
The RS 232 cables are internally connectable using JST plug connectors. The cable can be connected to the device using a stable PG cable gland which provide strain relief and protec­tion against contamination.
With the help of adapter cables with Sub-D 9 or open cable end, other RS 232 devices can also be connected.

Device description

4.4 Operating modes

For fast commissioning, the MA 248i offers an additional operating mode, the "Service mode", in addition to the "Standard mode". In this operating mode, the Leuze device can, for example, be configured on the MA 248i and the communication can be tested on the fieldbus. To do this, you need a PC/laptop with a suitable terminal program, as BCL-Config from Leuze or similar.
Service switch
Select between "operation" and "service" modes with the service switch. You have the following options:
Pos. RUN:
Operation
The Leuze device is connected to the fieldbus and communicates with the PLC.
Pos. DEV:
Service Leuze device
The connection between the Leuze device and the fieldbus is interrupted. With this switch position, you can communicate directly with the Leuze device at the fieldbus gateway via RS 232. You can send online commands via the service interface, con­figure the Leuze device using the corresponding BCL- BPS-, …-Config configuration software and have the read data of the Leuze device output.
Pos. MA:
Service fieldbus gateway
With this switch setting, your PC/terminal is connected with the fieldbus gateway.In doing so, the current setting values of the MA (e.g. address, RS 232 parameters) can be called up via a command.
Figure 4.2: Service-switch switch positions
Notice!
If the service switch is on one of the service settings, the SF LED flashes on the front side of the device, see chapter 8.1.2 "LED indicators on the housing".
Furthermore, on the control, the SMA service bit of the status bytes signals that the MA is in service mode.

4.5 Fieldbus systems

Various product variants of the MA 2xxi series are available for connecting to different fieldbus systems such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET-IO, DeviceNet and Ethernet.
Device description

4.5.1 PROFINET-IO

The MA 248i is designed as a PROFINET-IO device (acc. to IEEE 802.3). It supports a trans­mission rate of up to 100 Mbit/s (100Base TX), full duplex, as well as auto-negotiation and auto-crossover.
The functionality of the device is defined via parameter sets which are clustered in modules. These modules are contained in a GSDML file.
Each MA 248i is sealed with a unique MAC-ID. This information is used to assign a unique, plant-specific device name ("NameOfStation") to the device via the "Discovery and Config­uration Protocol (DCP)". When configuring a PROFINET-IO system, the assignment of the device names to the configured IO devices creates a name-based relationship for the partic­ipating IO devices ("device naming"). Further information can be found in section "Step 6 – Configuration of the device name - naming the device" on page 69.
The MA 248i features multiple M12 connectors / sockets for the electrical connection of the supply voltage, the interface and the switching inputs and outputs. Additional information
Leuze electronic MA 248i 21
on the electrical connection can be found in chapter 7.2.

The MA 248i can be operated as a single device (standalone) with individual device name in a star topology. The PLC must communicate this device name to the participant during the "device naming".
Figure 4.4: PROFINET-IO in a star topology
PROFINET-IO – linear topology
The innovative further development of the MA 248i with integrated switch functionality offers the option of connecting multiple connector units of type MA 248i to one another without direct connection to a switch. In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear topology" is thus also possible.
Leuze electronic MA 248i 23
Figure 4.5: PROFINET-IO in a linear topology
Each participant in this network requires its own unique device name that is assigned by the PLC during the "device naming". For specific information, please refer to chapter "Step 6 – Configuration of the device name - naming the device" on page 69.
The maximum length of a segment (connection from the hub to the last participant) is limited to 100m.

7.6 PROFINET-IO wiring

A Cat. 5 Ethernet cable should be used for wiring.
For the connection technology transition from M12 to RJ45, a "KDS ET M12/RJ 45 W - 4P" adapter is available that lets you connect standard network cables.
If no standard network cables are to be used (e.g., due to lacking IP… protection class), you can use the "KB ET - … - SA" user-configurable cables on the side of the MA 248i, see table 14.4 Bus connection cable for the MA 248i on page 84.
The individual MA 248i devices in a linear topology are connected with the "KB ET - … - SSA" cable, see "Bus connection cable for the MA 248i" on page 84.
For unavailable cable lengths, you can configure your cables yourself. When doing so, make certain that you connect TD+ on the M12 connector with RD+ on the RJ-45 connector and TD- on the M12 connector with RD- on the RJ-45 connector, respectively, etc.
Notice!
Use the recommended connectors / sockets or the ready-made cables (see chapter 14 "Type overview and accessories"). For further information on the topologies, see chapter 4.5.1 "PROFINET-IO".

10.1 Structure of the fieldbus telegram

All operations are performed by control and status bits. Two bytes of control information and two bytes of status information are available for this purpose. The control bits are a part of the output module and the status bits are a part of the input bytes. The data starts with the third byte.
If the actual data length is longer than the data length configured in the gateway, only part of the data is transmitted; the remaining data is lost. In this case, the DL (data loss) bit is set.
The following telegram structure is used between PLC -> fieldbus gateway:
76543210
ND Address 4 Address 3 Address 2 Address 1 Address 0 Broadcast Command
CTB SFB R-ACK Control byte 1
Data byte / parameter byte 0 Data Data byte / parameter byte 1

mode
Telegram
Control byte 0
DLC7 DLC6 DLC5 DLC4 DLC3 DLC2 DLC1 DLC0 Status byte 1
Data byte / parameter byte 0
Data byte / parameter byte 1
Data
Only the data part with the corresponding frame (e.g., STX, CR & LF) is then transmitted between the fieldbus gateway and the Leuze end device. The two control bytes are processed by the fieldbus gateway.
The corresponding control and status bits and their meaning are specified in section 10.2 and section 10.3.
Further information on the broadcast control bytes and address bits 0 … 4 can be found in chapter "Modular interfacing unit MA 3x (S4 switch position C)" on page 100.

the transmit buffer of the fieldbus gateway. This is used, for example, for long command strings which must be transmit­ted to the connected ident device. The CTB toggle bit is switched whenever transmit data is not to be sent directly via the serial interface, but instead trans­ferred to the transmit buffer.
Notice!
The state change of the CTB bit signals the MA that the data is going into the buffer; therefore, it's essential to observe the order! When the CTB is not used, the telegram (which fits in one cycle) is transmitted directly to the RS 232 interface. Please make sure it is complete!

10.4 RESET function / deleting memory

For many applications, it is helpful to be able to reset the MA buffer (in Collective mode) or status bits.
The following bit pattern can be transmitted from the PLC for this purpose (if >20 ms is pending):
Control byte 0: 10101010 (AAh) Control byte 1: 10101010 (AAh) OUT data byte 0/parameter byte 0: AAh OUT data byte 1/parameter byte 1: AAh

11 Modes

11.1 Functionality of the data exchange

The fieldbus gateway has two different modes that can be selected via the PLC:
Transparent mode (standard setting) In Transparent mode, all data is sent 1:1 and directly by the serial end device to the PLC. It is not necessary to use status and control bits here. However, only data bytes possible for one transmission cycle are transmitted - all others are lost. The distance between two successive telegrams (without frame) must be more than 20ms, since there is otherwise no clear separation between them. ASCII characters are typically expected as data content; under certain circumstances, the MA therefore detects different control characters as invalid characters in the data range and truncates them. At 00 because unnecessary bytes are also filled with 00
Collective mode In Collective mode, the data of the serial end device is stored temporarily in the fieldbus gateway by toggling the CTB bit and is not sent to the PLC in blocks until prompted to do so by the PLC. On the PLC, a status bit (DEX) then signals that new data is ready for retrieval. This data is then read out from the fieldbus gateway in blocks (toggle bit). In order to distinguish between the individual telegrams on the PLC, in Collective mode the serial frame is sent to the PLC in addition to the data.
The size of the buffer is 1 kByte.
in the data range, the MA cuts the telegram off
h
Modes
.
h
Notice!
In Collective mode, the CTB and SFB bits are needed for communication handling via the buffer. Telegrams that can also be completely transmitted in one cycle in Collective mode (including data frame) go directly through. If PLC data is provided and transferred without a state change of the CTB bit, it goes directly to the RS 232 interface with the set telegram data length. Incomplete (incl. data frame) or faulty telegrams can cause error messages in the connected device!
Combination with the Command mode is possible.
Data exchange in blocks must be programmed on the PLC.

11.1.1 Reading slave data in Collective mode (gateway -> PLC)

If the Leuze device transmits data to the fieldbus gateway, the data is stored temporarily in a buffer. The PLC is signaled via the "DEX" bit that data is ready for retrieval in the memory. Data is not automatically transmitted.
If no further user data is present in the MA 2xxi ("DEX" bit = "0"), the "R-ACK" bit must be toggled once as read confirmation to release data transmission for the next read cycle.
If the buffer still contains more data ("DEX bit = 1), the next remaining user data present in the buffer is transmitted by toggling the "R-ACK" control bit. This process is to be repeated until the "DEX" bit returns to "0"; all data has then been removed from the buffer. "R-ACK" must be toggled here again once more as a terminating read confirmation in order to release data transmission for the next read cycle.
Used status and control bits:
•DLC
•BLR
•DEX
•R-ACK

11.1.2 Writing slave data in Collective mode (PLC -> gateway)

Writing in blocks
The data sent by the master to the slave is first collected in a "transmit buffer" by setting the "CTB" bit (Copy to transmit buffer). Please observe that data provided is transmitted directly by toggling the bit.
The data is then sent in the order received from the buffer to the connected Leuze device via the serial interface with the command: "SFB" (Send data from transmit buffer). Please don't forget the suitable data frame!
Afterward, the buffer is again empty and can be written with new data.
Notice!
With this function, it is possible to temporarily store longer data strings in the gateway independent of how many bytes the used fieldbus can transmit at once. With this function, longer PT sequences or RFID write sequences, for example, can be transmitted, since the connected devices can, in this way, receive their commands (e.g., PT or W) in a continuous string. The respective frame (STX CR LF) is needed to differentiate between the individual telegrams.
Used status and control bits:
•CTB
•SFB
•W-ACK
If PLC data is provided and transferred without a state change of the CTB bit, it goes directly to the RS 232 interface with the set telegram data length. Incomplete (incl. data frame) or faulty telegrams can cause error messages in the connected device!

Examples for the activation of a Leuze device
In the data part (starting at byte 2) of the telegram to the gateway, a "+" (ASCII) is sent for activation.
This means that the hex value "2B" (corresponds to a "+") is to be entered in control or output byte 2. To deactivate the reading gate, a "2D" (hex) must be used instead (corresponds to a "-" ASCII).

11.1.3 Command mode

One specific feature is the so-called Command mode, which is defined via the output control byte 0 (bit 0) ... and enables the control of the connected device per bit.
If the command mode is activated (command mode = 1), no data is sent by the PLC to the Leuze end device via the gateway. The data from the MA to the PLC is transmitted in the selected operating mode (Transparent/Collective).
With the Command mode, it is possible to set various device-specific bits in the data- or parameter field that execute the corresponding serial commands (e.g., v, +, -, etc.). If, for example, the version of the Leuze end device is to be queried, the corresponding bit is to be set so that a "v" is sent to the Leuze device with the <STX> v <CR> <LF> frame.
The Leuze end device also answers the gateway with data (e.g. bar code content, NoRead, device version, etc.) in response to most commands. The answer is immediately passed on to the PLC by the gateway.
Notice!
The parameters available for the individual Leuze devices are listed in chapter 16. Command mode cannot be used with hand-held scanners.
Examples for the activation of a Leuze device
In Command mode, control or output byte 0.0 is to be set for activating the Command mode. Only the corresponding bit (control or output byte 2.1) then needs to be set for activating and deactivating the reading gate.

12 Commissioning and configuration

12.1 Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning

Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the
MA 248i.
Before connecting the supply voltage, recheck all connections and ensure that they
have been properly made.
The Leuze device must be connected to the internal RS 232 device interface.
Connecting the Leuze device
Open the housing of the MA 248i and lead the corresponding device cable (see chapter
14.6) through the middle threaded opening.
Connect the cable to the internal device interface (X30, X31 or X32, see chapter 7.5.1).
Use rotary switch S4 (see chapter 8.2.5) to select the connected device.
Now screw the PG cable gland into the threaded opening to provide strain relief and
ensure protection class IP 65.
Finally, close the housing of the MA 248i.
Attention!
Only then may the supply voltage be applied. Upon startup of the MA 248i, the device selection switch is queried and the gateway automatically sets itself to the Leuze device.

12.2 Starting the device

Apply the supply voltage +18 … 30VDC (+24VDC model); the MA 248i starts up.

12.3 Configuration steps for a Siemens Simatic S7 control

The following steps are necessary for commissioning with a Siemens S7 control:
1. Preparation of the control system (S7 PLC)
2. Installation of the GSDML file
3. Hardware configuration of the S7 PLC
4. Configuration of the modules
5. Transmission of the PROFINET configuration to the controller (S7 PLC)
6. Naming the device
• Configuration of the device name
• Naming the device
• Assignment of the device names to the configured IO devices (Figure 10.3...)
• Assignment of MAC address - IP address - individual device name (Figure 10.4)
7. Check device name

Commissioning and configuration

12.3.1 Step 1 – Preparing the control system (S7 PLC)

The first step involves the assignment of an IP address to the IO Controller (PLC - S7) and the preparation of the control for consistent data transmission, see chapter 12.4.4 "Preparing the control system for consistent data transmission".
Notice!
If an S7 control is used, you need to ensure that Simatic-Manager Version 5.4 + service pack 5 (V5.4+SP5) or higher is used.

12.3.2 Step 2 – Installation of the GSD file

For the subsequent configuration of the IO devices, e.g., MA 248i, the corresponding GSD file must be loaded first.
General information on the GSD file
The term GSD stands for the textual description of a PROFINET-IO device model.
For the description of the more complex PROFINET-IO device model, the XML-based GSDML (Generic Station Description Markup Language) was introduced.
In the following, the terms "GSD" or "GSD file" always refer to the GSDML-based format.
The GSDML file can support an arbitrary number of languages in one file. Every GSDML file contains a version of the MA 248i device model. This is also reflected in the file name.
You can find the GSD file at www.leuze.com.
All data in modules required for operating the MA 248i is described in this file. These are input and output data and device parameters for the functioning of the MA 248i and the defi­nition of the control and status bits.
If parameters are changed, e.g., in the project tool, these changes are stored on the PLC side in the project, not in the GSD file. The GSD file is a certified and integral part of the device and must not be changed manually. The file is not changed by the system either.
The functionality of the MA 248i is defined via parameter sets. The parameters and their functions are structured in the GSD file using module. A user-specific configuration tool is used during PLC program creation to integrate the required modules and configure them appropriately for their respective use. During operation of the MA 248i on the PROFINET-IO, all parameters are set to default values. If these parameters are not changed by the user, the device functions with the default settings delivered by Leuze electronic.
For the default settings of the MA 248i, please refer to the following module descriptions.
66 MA 248i Leuze electronic

Commissioning and configuration

12.3.3 Step 3 – Hardware configuration of the S7 PLC: Configuration

For the configuration of the PROFINET-IO system using the HW Config of the SIMATIC Manager, insert the MA 248i into your project. An IP address is now assigned to a unique "device name".
Figure 12.1: Assignment of the device names to IP addresses

12.3.4 Step 4 – Configuration of the modules

Now select a corresponding data module for the input and output area.
A number of combinable modules are available with various data lengths (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 32 … 1024 bytes). In total, a maximum of 1024 bytes are possible for both the input bytes and for the output bytes.
Notice!
Because the data module contains 2 bytes for the control and status bytes, the actual user data length is always 2 bytes smaller than the selected data module. E.g., when using the data module with 12 bytes, there are effectively 10 bytes available for user data on the Leuze device after subtracting the 2 bytes for status and control bytes.
Recommendation
In most cases, the 4-byte module is sufficient for the output module.

Commissioning and configuration
A larger module is needed, for example, if a BCL bar code scanner is to be configured by means of PT-sequences, or an RFID transponder is to be described. In these cases, larger data modules are usually sensible.
Examples of sensible settings for corresponding Leuze devices
BPS 8 and BPS 300i
• Input module: 8 bytes
• Output module: 4 bytes
Hand-held scanner
• Input module: individual The size of the input module is dependent on the number of digits of the bar code or 2D code that is to be read. For example, with an 12-digit bar code (+ 2 bytes of status bytes), the input module with 16 bytes is sensible.
• Output module: none Because the hand-held scanner does not typically send any data, no output module is necessary.

• Input module: individual The size of the input module is dependent on the number of digits of the bar code, RFID code or 2D code that is to be read. For example, with an 18-digit bar code (+ 2 bytes of status bytes), the input module with 20 bytes is sensible.
• Output module: 4 bytes

12.3.5 Step 5 – Transmission of the configuration to the controller (S7 PLC)

After correct transmission to the controller (S7 PLC), the PLC automatically carries out the following activities:
• Check device names
• Assignment of the IP addresses that were configured in the HW Config to the IO devices
• Establishment of a connection between the controller and configured IO devices
• Cyclical data exchange
Notice!
Participants that have not been "named" cannot be contacted yet at this point in time!

12.3.6 Step 6 – Configuration of the device name - naming the device

The PROFINET-IO device has a unique MAC address that is part of the factory settings. You can find this address on the name plate of the gateway.
This information is used to assign a unique, plant-specific device name ("NameOfStation") to the device via the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol (DCP)".
The PROFINET-IO also uses the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol" (DCP) for the IP address assignment during each system boot-up if the IO device is located in the same subnet.
Notice!
All MA 248i participants in a PROFINET-IO network must be located in the same subnet!
Naming the device
PROFINET-IO defines the "naming of the device" as the creation of a name-based relation­ship for a PROFINET-IO device.

Commissioning and configuration
At this point, you can select the respective gateway MA 248i for the "device naming" based on its MAC address. The unique "device name" (which must match the participant in the HW Config) is then assigned to this participant.
Notice!
Multiple MA 248i can be distinguished by the MAC addresses displayed. The MAC address may be found on the name plate of the respective bar code scanner.
MAC address - IP address -individual device name
At this point, please assign an IP address (suggested by the PLC), a subnet mask and, if required, a router address, and assign this data to the named participant ("device name").
Figure 12.2: MAC address - IP address -individual device name
From now on, and when programming, only the unique "device name" (max. 255 characters) is used.

12.3.7 Step 7 – Check device names

After completing the configuration phase, it is sensible to recheck the "device names" that have been assigned. Please ensure that these names are unique and that all participants are located in the same subnet.

Conformance classes
PROFINET-IO devices are categorized into conformance classes to simplify the evaluation and selection of the devices for the users. The MA 248i can use an existing Ethernet network infrastructure and corresponds to Conformance Class B (CC-B). Thus, it supports the following features:
• Cyclical RT communication
• Acyclic TCP/IP communication
•Alarms/diagnostics
• Automatic address assignment
• I&M functionality 0-4
• Neighborhood detection basic functionality In the factory settings, which can be re-set if necessary through a restart in device switch position F, the MA 248i supports neighborhood detection.
• In the PLC, the BUS IN connection is detected as Port1 and BUS OUT as Port2.
• FAST Ethernet 100 Base-TX
• Convenient device exchange without engineering tools

12.4.1 Modular structure of the parameter

The PROFINET-IO functionality of the device is defined via parameter sets which are clus­tered in modules. The modules are included in a XML-based GSD file, which is supplied as an integral part of the device. By using a user-specific project tool, such as, e.g., Simatic Manager for the Siemens programmable logic control, the required modules are integrated into a project during commissioning and its settings and parameters are adjusted accord­ingly. These modules are provided by the GSD file.
Notice!
All input and output modules described in this documentation are described from the con­troller's perspective:
- Input data arrives at the controller.
- Output data is sent out by the controller.
Detailed information on how to prepare the control and the GSD file may be found in chapter "Configuration steps for a Siemens Simatic S7 control" on page 65.
For the default settings of the MA 248i, please refer to the following module descriptions.
Notice!
Please note that the set data is overwritten by the PLC! Some controls make available a so-called "universal module". This module must not be activated for the MA 248i!
From the perspective of the device, a distinction is made between PROFINET-IO parameters and internal parameters. PROFINET-IO parameters are all parameters that can be changed via the PROFINET-IO and are described in the following modules. Internal parameters, on the other hand, can only be changed via a service interface and retain their value even following a PROFINET-IO configuration.
During the configuration phase, the MA 248i receives parameter telegrams from the controller (master). Before this is evaluated and the respective parameter values are set, all PROFINET-IO parameters are reset to default values. This ensures that the parameters of modules that are not selected are set to the default values.

12.4.2 Permanently defined parameters/device parameters

On the PROFINET-IO, parameters may be stored in modules or may be defined permanently in a PROFINET-IO participant.
The permanently defined parameters are called "common" parameters or device-specific parameters, depending on the configuration tool.
These parameters must always be present. They are defined outside of the configuration modules and are permanently anchored in the telegram header.
In Simatic Manager, the permanently defined parameters are set via object properties of the device. The module parameters are set via the module list of the selected device. By selecting the project properties of a module, the respective parameters may be set if required.
The following list contains the device parameters that are permanently defined in the MA 248i (DAP Slot 0/Subslot 0) but are configurable. These parameters always exist and are available independent of the modules.

12.4.3 Overview of the project modules

When using PROFINET-IO modules, the parameters are assembled dynamically, i.e., only the parameters that were selected by the activated modules are changed.
The MA 248i has parameters (device parameters) that must always be present. These parameters are defined outside of modules and are thus linked to the base module (DAP).
In the current version, several modules are available for use. A device module (DAP, see Permanently defined parameters/device parameters) is used for basic configuration of the MA 248i and is permanently integrated into the project. Further modules may be included into the project according to requirements and application.
The modules fall into the following categories:
• Parameter module for the configuration of the MA 248i.
• Status or control modules that influence the input/output data.
• Modules that may include both parameters and control or status information.
A PROFINET-IO module defines the existence and meaning of the input and output data. In addition, it defines the necessary parameters. The arrangement of the data within a module is defined.
The composition of the input/output data is defined via the module list.
The MA 248i interprets the incoming output data and triggers the appropriate reactions in the MA 248i. The interpreter for processing the data is adapted to the module structure during initialization.
The same applies for the input data. Using the module list and the defined module proper­ties, the input data string is formatted and referenced to the internal data.
During cyclic operation, the input data is then passed on to the controller.
During the startup or initialization phase, the MA 248i sets the input data to an initial value (usually 0).
Notice!
The modules can be grouped together in any order in the engineering tool. Note, however, that many MA 248i modules contain related data. It is important to maintain the consistency of these data. The MA 248i offers different modules. Each of these modules may only be selected once; otherwise, the MA 248i ignores the configuration. The MA 248i checks its max. permissible number of modules. A maximum of 1024 bytes can be used for both the input data and for the output data. The specific limits of the individual modules of the MA 248i are declared in the GSD file.
The following module overview shows the characteristics of the individual modules:

12.4.4 Preparing the control system for consistent data transmission

During programming the control system must be prepared for consistent data transmission. This varies from control system to control system.
Notice!
If an S7 control is used, you need to ensure that Simatic-Manager Version 5.4 + service pack 5 (V5.4+SP5) or higher is used.

12.5 Variable configuration of the communication data width

The communication of the MA 248i with the fieldbus system can be configured with a vari­able data width; the upper limit is restricted by the fieldbus. The following sizes are available for the data frame for PROFINET-IO:
4 … 1024 bytes
Leuze electronic MA 248i 75
TNT 35/7-24V
Page 78
Commissioning and configuration
The small data lengths (< 28 bytes) are particularly of interest for use with bar code scanners (BCL). The larger data lengths are, on the other hand, relevant for 2D-code scanners (hand­held scanners, LSIS) and RFID.
Taking into consideration the maximum permissible data width of 1024 bytes, multiple modules can also be used for the input data or combined with one another. The combination of module 128 and module 64, for example, yields an input data length of 192 bytes.

12.6 Setting the read parameters on the Leuze device

Commissioning the Leuze device
To commission a read station, you must prepare the Leuze device on the MA 248i for its reading task. Communication with the Leuze device occurs via the service interface.
Notice!
For further information on connecting and using the service interface, see chapter 9 "Con­figuration".
To do this, connect the Leuze device to the MA 248i.
Depending on the Leuze device, this occurs either via a connection cable (accessory no.: KB 031-1000) or directly on the MA 248i. The service connector and corresponding switches can be accessed with the housing cover open.
Select the "DEV" service switch position.
Connect the service interface; call up the terminal program
Connect your PC to the service connector via the RS 232 cable.
On the PC, call up a terminal program (e.g., BCL-Config) and check whether the interface
(COM 1 or COM 2) to which you have connected the MA 248i is set to the following Leuze standard setting: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and STX, data, CR, LF.
You can download the config. tool from www.leuze.com for BCL, RFID, etc.
76 MA 248i Leuze electronic
Page 79
Commissioning and configuration
In order to communicate with the connected Leuze device, the STX, data, CR, LF framing must be set on the PC terminal program, as the Leuze device is preconfigured ex works for this frame character.
STX (02h): Prefix 1
CR (0Dh): Postfix 1
LF (0Ah): Postfix 2
Operation
Switch the MA 248i to switch position "RUN" (operation).
The Leuze device is now connected to the fieldbus. Activation of the Leuze device can now occur via the switching input on the MA 248i, via the process data word Out bit 1 (bit 0.2) or by transmitting a "+" command to the Leuze device (see chapter 16 "Specifications for Leuze end devices"). For further information on the fieldbus transmission protocol, see see chapter 10 "Telegram".
Reading out information in service mode
Set the service switch of the gateway to switch position "MA" (gateway).
Send a "v" command to call up all service information of the MA 248i.
An overview of the available commands and information can be found in chapter "Reading out information in Service mode" on page 45.

12.6.1 Specific feature for the use of hand-held scanners (bar code and 2D devices, combi devices with RFID)

Notice!
For a description of device configuration and the required codes, please see the correspond­ing documentation at www.leuze.com.
12.6.1.1 Cable-connected hand-held scanners on the MA 248i
All hand-held scanners and mobile combi devices available in the Leuze electronic product line can be used with the corresponding connection cable.
When using the MA 248i, the voltage supply of the hand-held scanner (5V/at 1A) can be connected to the interface by means of a cable via the 9-pin Sub-D connector (voltage on PIN 9). The corresponding cable is to be selected for the respective hand-held scanner and ordered separately. The 9-pin Sub-D cable (KB JST-HS-300, part no. 50113397) is connected to this cable, which is connected to the MA 248i. This cable must also be ordered separately.
In this example, triggering occurs by means of a trigger button on the hand-held scanner.

12.6.1.2 Cableless hand-held scanners on the MA 248i
All wireless hand-held scanners and mobile combi devices available in the Leuze electronic product line can be used with the corresponding connection cable via the base station.
A 230VAC connection (socket) is usually necessary for the charging station. Here, a data connection of the charging station is established with the MA 248i. The corresponding cable is to be selected for the respective hand-held scanner and ordered separately. The 9-pin Sub-D cable (KB JST-HS-300, part no. 50113397) is connected to this cable, which is connected to the MA 248i. This cable must also be ordered separately.
In this example, triggering occurs by means of a trigger button on the hand-held scanner.
The following codes for configuring the devices are necessary for these devices as well.

12.6.2 Specific features in the operation of an RFM/RFI

When using the MA 248i in connection with an RFID device, we recommend a data width of at least 24 bytes to be able to transmit information to or from the reader in a telegram.
Shown here is a sample telegram for a write command in combination with an RFID device.
Notice!
Also note that all characters which are sent to a transponder are hex-encoded ASCII char­acters. Each of these (hexadecimal) characters is, in turn, to be handled as an individual ASCII character and converted to hexadecimal format for transmission via the fieldbus.

16 Specifications for Leuze end devices

Serial interface and Command mode
The corresponding Leuze end device can be selected while configuring the fieldbus gateway (see chapter 9 "Configuration").
The exact specifications for the individual Leuze end devices can be found in the following sections and in the device description.
The corresponding serial command is sent to the Leuze end device in Command mode. To send the corresponding command to the RS 232 device after activating the Command mode in byte 0 (control bit 0.0), set the corresponding bit in byte 2.
The Leuze end device also responds to most commands by sending data, such as the bar code contents, NoRead, device version, etc., back to the gateway. The answer is not eval­uated by the gateway, but is instead passed on to the PLC.
For the BPS 8, BPS 300i and hand-held scanners, a number of specific features are to be noted.

16.1 Standard setting, KONTURflex (S4 switch position 0)

This switch position can be used with almost all devices, since a data frame is transmitted along with it if necessary. A 00h in the data range of the control is interpreted as the end of a telegram/invalid, however.
The distance between two successive telegrams (without frame) must be more than 20ms in this switch position, since there is otherwise no clear separation between them. If neces­sary, the settings have to be adjusted on the device.
Leuze measuring sensors with RS 232 interface (such as a KONTURflex Quattro RS) do not necessarily use a telegram frame, which is why these are also operated in switch position 0.
Specifications for the serial interface
Default parameter Standard
Baud rate 9600 Data mode 8N1 Handshake no Protocol framing protocol without acknowledgment Frame <Data> Data Mode transparent
Notice!
The data frame is specified via the switch position.Only the data mode and the baud rate can also be set via the GSD file.
In the factory setting, the S4 switch position is 0. Resetting the settings to these is possible in S4 switch position F. The procedure for doing this is described in chapter 16.13.
