in the menu bar. Help for specific functions can be called via F1.

®

operating systems, and knowledge of IEC 61131.

This user manual describes the quickest way to start up. Since the INTERBUS
devices are read, a complete physical bus configuration is required.

No functions or commands that require communication with the controller can be
executed without a physical bus configuration. However, complete parameterization is
possible in the “offline” state. The application program can also be created and compiled.
Should you wish to proceed in this way, please refer to the Quick Start Guide for
PC WORX EXPRESS.

1.3 Content of the ILC 131 STARTERKIT

The ILC 131 STARTERKIT is assembled on a board and contains the ILC 131 ETH
including an analog input module. The starter kit hardware is completely assembled.

The assembly is supplied by the power supply unit provided. To operate the assembly,
simply connect the power supply unit to the ILC 131 ETH and to the supply voltage
(230 V AC socket) via the socket and connect the ILC 131 ETH to your PC via the Ethernet
cable provided.

4.6 Compiling and transmitting a project and

performing a cold restart

4.6.1 Compiling a project

• When compiling a project for the first time, select the “Rebuild Project” command from

the “Build” menu. For further compiling processes you can also use the “Make”
command (see also “Compiling (additional information)” on page 28).

• If errors occur when compiling, remove the errors and repeat the compiling process
until it is completed successfully. Error messages must be removed. Warning
messages do not have to be removed.

If you are compiling the project but have not yet programmed anything, you will receive
the “Empty worksheet” warning message. This warning message does not affect the next

Helpful information about PC WORX EXPRESS

– Always allow realtime

violations during
“Download Changes”

This checkbox refers to the “Download Changes” function.

When it is selected, the following standard procedure
applies: next time “Download Changes” is executed, the
system does not attempt to observe the realtime conditions
(i.e., execution of the user task at the exact time) on the
controller. Instead the system stops program execution on
the controller, transmits the project, copies all instance­related data, and then resumes execution of the modified
program. The system does not issue a warning message
prior to the associated violation of realtime conditions.

Using this option is recommended if “Download Changes”
cannot be executed while observing the realtime conditions
because there is too much POU instance data (modified
project parts) to be copied.

Once you have selected the checkbox, this setting is applied
to all future “Download Changes” actions.

The box is also selected if the checkbox of the
same name is selected in the message dialog
box (“Download changes could not be executed
in realtime. Try again?”)

NOTE: If realtime violations are permitted, first
ensure that your project is running within safe
limits. Please note that each realtime violation
may result in unexpected consequences in the
automation system, as under certain
circumstances user tasks are not processed for a
short time. Therefore, check the level of risk
before enabling this option.

“Bootproject” area

– “Download” button The boot project is sent separately to the controller without

the complete project.

– “Activate” button The boot project saved on the controller is activated.

Following activation, the boot project can be executed.

– “Delete” button The boot project saved on the controller is deleted.

• Close the “Download Options” dialog box once you have made the necessary settings
for your project.

• To do this, click on “Download” in the Project Control Dialog.

The project is now in the RAM of the controller.

The ILC 131 ETH has been started up successfully if the green FR LED is on.

4.6.4 Compiling (additional information)

There are two options for compiling:

1 “Build, Make” or
2 “Build, Rebuild Project”

Rebuilding the project Use this command to compile an entire project for the first time or after modifying a user

library.

“Rebuild Project” compiles and links all worksheets. Errors and warnings that are
discovered by the compiler are logged in the “Message window”. After the syntax has been
checked successfully, the system automatically generates the IEC code and the special
PLC code. Finally, the project can be sent to the controller.

The “Rebuild Project” command should only be used if errors occurred when compiling
with “Make” or your project was unpacked without frontend.

Make The “Make” command is the standard mode for compiling. Use this command after editing

and completing your project.
When the “Make” menu item is executed, all modified worksheets are compiled/linked and
the modified PLC code is generated.
This command can be executed from the menu bar via “Build, Make”, with the “Make” icon
in the toolbar or using the shortcut F9.
Modified worksheets in the project tree are identified by an asterisk that appears after the
worksheet name.

Both After the compiler has been started, the “Message window” appears automatically if it was

closed before. This window shows the steps the compiler is currently performing. In
addition, errors, warnings, and additional information about the process are logged here.
Once the compiling process has been completed successfully (i.e., no errors have been
reported), the modified project can be sent to the controller.

Figure 5-4 Project information after creating a new project

During project creation, PC WORX EXPRESS automatically assigns an IP address area for
a local network (area from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254). If you would like to use another
address area (e.g., a global network), adapt the start and end address on the project node
(here: FirstSteps_ILC131) to your application.

If the IP parameters are modified in the project settings, the IP addresses of the controller
may have to be modified manually (see “Assigning the IP address for the controller” on
page 34).

PHOENIX CONTACT 105724_en_01

32

Step-by-step development of an example project

If you are using the addresses of a local network in your project, also assign the
corresponding address (e.g., 192.168.0.2) to the PC on which PC WORX EXPRESS is
installed. Otherwise the devices in the local network cannot be accessed.

For information on the IP addresses to be used within your system, please contact your
system administrator.

If the start address of the new address area to be entered is higher than the previous end
address, modify the end address first.

If you manually assign IP parameters that are outside the defined area, they will not be
accepted.

Example IP addresses are shown in the following screenshots. Adapt the IP address to
your system.

105724_en_01 PHOENIX CONTACT 33

ILC 131 STARTERKIT

5.1.4 Assigning the IP address for the controller

By default upon delivery of the ILC 131 STARTERKIT, the ILC 131 ETH has no preset
IP address. Initial setting of the controller's IP address can be carried out with the
PC WORX EXPRESS software manually via the serial interface, using the DCP PROFINET
protocol or by means of a BootP server. The IP address can be changed later with the
PC WORX EXPRESS software via the serial connection, via Ethernet or via the
DCP PROFINET protocol.

Phoenix Contact recommends that you assign the IP address via the DCP PROFINET
protocol.

5.1.4.1 Dynamic Configuration Protocol (DCP)

The Inline controller from firmware version 4.20 or later and from PC Worx version

6.30.767 or later (part of the AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite 1.81 incl. AddON V1)
supports the DCP PROFINET protocol.

The DCP PROFINET protocol is used to assign an IP address and a name to individual
network devices. The PC WORX EXPRESS software sends a broadcast request with a
DCP telegram to the devices within the network. The devices respond with their MAC
address and device type. By default upon delivery, the ILC 131 ETH has no IP address and
therefore responds with 0.0.0.0 and its specific MAC address. In the next step, the IP
address is set in PC WORX EXPRESS; then the IP address is transmitted to the
ILC 131 ETH by means of a DCP telegram.

PC/network adapter To determine whether your network permits the IP settings used in the example project (see

Figure 5-4 on page 32), proceed as follows:

• In the Windows Control Panel, check the settings for your PC network adapter.

• If necessary, adjust these settings so that the ILC 131 ETH can be accessed in your

network via the IP address used in the example project.

If your network does not permit the use of the IP address used in the example project, adjust
the settings in the project information accordingly (see Figure 5-4 on page 32).

If any modifications are made to the project information that affect the IP settings for the
controller, a warning is displayed. However, the modification is not implemented
automatically. When a new project is created, the default settings are specified under “IP
Settings” (see Figure 5-4 on page 32 and Figure 5-10 on page 39).

Before the IP address can be assigned via the DCP PROFINET protocol, you must first
select the correct Ethernet network card.

Then check the communication between PC WORX EXPRESS and the ILC 131 ETH:

• In the “Device Details” window select the “Communication” tab.

• Click on the “Test” button.

A green status indicator indicates successful communication.

If communication could not be established between PC WORX EXPRESS and the
ILC 131 ETH, check again whether your network permits the IP settings used in the
example project (see section 5.1.3 on page 32). After you have made any necessary
changes, check the communication between PC WORX EXPRESS and the ILC 131 ETH
again.

5.1.4.2 BootP server

IP address assignment via a BootP server is an alternative to IP address assignment via
the DCP PROFINET protocol. If you have already assigned the IP address via the
DCP PROFINET protocol, you can skip Section 5.1.4.2, “BootP server”.

The connecting cable (RS-232 cable) PRG CAB MINI DIN (Order No. 2730611) is
available as an optional accessory for connecting the controller to a PC via the serial
interface.

105724_en_01 PHOENIX CONTACT 37

ILC 131 STARTERKIT

Bootstrap protocol
(BootP)

In an Ethernet network, BootP is used to assign an IP address to a BootP client using a
BootP server. For this example (by default for the ILC 131 STARTERKIT), the ILC 131 ETH
(BootP client) sends a BootP_Request as a broadcast into the network. The MAC address
of the transmitter is sent with the BootP_Request to provide unique identification. If the
BootP server has been activated in PC WORX EXPRESS, PC WORX EXPRESS responds
with a BootP_Reply. PC WORX EXPRESS uses this BootP_Reply to inform the
ILC 131 ETH of its IP address and subnet mask. Please ensure that:

– The BootP server knows the MAC address sent by the BootP client.
– A corresponding IP address and subnet mask have been assigned in

PC WORX EXPRESS for the MAC address.

Once the IP data has been transferred to the ILC 131 ETH successfully, PC WORX
EXPRESS sends a corresponding acknowledgment message.

PC/network adapter To determine whether your network permits the IP settings used in the example project (see

Figure 5-4 on page 32), proceed as follows:

• In the Windows Control Panel, check the settings for your PC network adapter.

• If necessary, adjust these settings so that the ILC 131 ETH can be accessed in your

network via the IP address used in the example project.

If your network does not permit the use of the IP address used in the example project, adjust
the settings in the project information accordingly (see Figure 5-4 on page 32).

If any modifications are made to the project information that affect the IP settings for the
controller, a warning is displayed. However, the modification is not implemented
automatically. When a new project is created, the default settings are specified under “IP
Settings” (see Figure 5-4 on page 32 and Figure 5-10 on page 39).

Assigning IP settings The IP settings for the controller are made when the project is created. To set the IP address

in PC WORX EXPRESS, proceed as described below:

Please note that by default for the ILC 131 STARTERKIT, BootP is preset on the
ILC 131 ETH.

The IP address that is assigned here for the controller is also implemented as the IP
address for the communication path via TCP/IP.

After assigning the IP parameters, PC WORX EXPRESS automatically sets TCP/IP as a
communication path to the ILC 131 ETH.

• Establish an Ethernet connection between your PC and the controller.

• Switch to the Bus Configuration workspace.

• Select the Inline controller node (here: “ILC 131 ETH”).

• Select the “IP Settings” tab in the “Device Details” window.

Step-by-step development of an example project

Figure 5-20 on page 46 illustrates the “FirstSteps_ILC131.mwe” example program
described in this section.

– In the top part of the program, a clock is generated. There are two clock frequencies that

can be selected.

– In the middle part, the clock is ANDed with an input signal from the controller. When the

input signal is present, the clock signal is switched through to a controller output.

– In the lower part, an analog input signal (adjustable voltage) from voltage input channel

1 of the Inline input terminal is connected to an analog value variable.

The clock frequency is set according to the positions of switches 0 and 1 of the switch
module. This is indicated by the Q1 LED.

In addition, the switch positions of switches 0 to 7 of the switch module are indicated using
LEDs I1 to I8 of inputs 1 to 8 of the controller.

Variables in the program The entire program is implemented in the POU “Main”. The ONBOARD_INPUT_BIT0 to

ONBOARD_INPUT_BIT7 (system variables; ONBOARD_INPUT_BIT0 and
ONBOARD_INPUT_BIT1 are used in the program) map the status of the inputs to which

the toggle switches are connected. The Input_Analog variable (user variable) maps the
status of the analog input to which the adjustable voltage is supplied.

Within the POU “Main”, the clock speed is set according to the ONBOARD_INPUT_BIT0
and ONBOARD_INPUT_BIT1 input variables. In addition, the clock signal is generated
(clock) and output to a controller output (ONBOARD_OUTPUT_BIT0). An analog input
value (Input_Analog variable) is also connected to an internal program variable
(Output_Analog).

The basic steps for creating this program are described below.

Visualization The “FirstSteps_ILC131.prj” example visualization can be used to display the states of the

controller LEDs and the states of LEDs for the switch module in your web browser. The state
of the analog input signal is displayed as a bar graph.

For more information about installing and starting up the example visualization on the
controller and the requirements for your web browser, refer to Section 7, “Visualization

The onboard inputs and outputs of the ILC 131 ETH are mapped to system variables. The
variable for processing the analog input value (Input_Analog), for example, is created as a
user variable. In PC WORX EXPRESS, the use of a variable must be declared.

A variable that is used within a POU is declared as a local variable using one of the
keywords VAR, VAR_INPUT, VAR_OUTPUT or VAR_IN_OUT. A variable that is used in
the entire project is declared as a global variable using the keyword VAR_GLOBAL.

Make sure that the “Hide external variables” checkbox is selected in the “Options” dialog
box (“Extras, Options...” menu).
