Download ETS configuration to controllerdl-permalink__symbolPermalink

The download of the ETS configuration to the PLC is done via the ETS function “Download” in the menu bar. This download happens via the KNX interface directly to the PLC.

Best you select in ETS the network interface of the computer as the bus interface. Thus, a fast data exchange is possible and the data is not routed via the KNX TP bus.

At the first download, the physical KNX address of the controller is programmed. To do this, set the PLC to KNX programming mode.

This can be done either via the display or functions inside the application program of the controller (e.g. connected to a Webvisu like done in the example program).

Via display of the processor module

⮫ “Configuration with SystemFW >=V3.5.0 and DisplayFW >=V4.1”

Attention!

Attention!

The activation of the KNX programming mode via the display only works with Automation Builder as of version 2.2.0.

The KNX configuration of AC500-eCo uses TA5130-KNXPB.

The PLC must be in RUN mode.

  1. Press the CFG function key.

    Switch is OFF (S OFF) is displayed.

  2. Press the Arrow Down function key

    Pbut 0 is displayed.

    (Pbut is standing for progamming button, the 0 (or the 1) showing the status of the programming LED (0=Off; 1 =ON))

  3. Press the CFG function key.

    The display shows Pbut 1 flashing.

  4. Confirm this with the OK function key.

    The display permanently shows Pbut 1. The PLC is in KNX programming mode.

AC500-eCo via TA5130-KNXPB

  1. Ensure the TA5130-KNXPB is plugged in during power up, PLC is in RUN mode.

  2. Ensure that TA5130-KNXPB is configured inside Automation Builder configuration.

  3. Push the button on the TA5130-KNXPB.

    The LED on the option board should turn ON. The AC500-eCo is in KNX programming mode.

The AC500 PLC automatically terminates the KNX programming mode after the programming of the physical KNX address.

Alternatively you can terminate the programming mode with Pbut 0 by pressing the CFG function key.

For AC500-eCo: push the button on the TA5130-KNXPB again to terminate the programming mode, the LED should turn OFF.

You can exit the menu at any time with the ESC function key.

Via application

Please use the following variable for setting the KNX Program Button:

‎AC500_IoDrvKNX.GVL.IoDrvKNXCopyChannels.ProgramButton ‎

The controller automatically terminates the programming mode after programming the physical address with the ETS.

The PLC has then besides the Automation Builder configuration also the appropriate ETS configuration and starts its KNX communication.

Download all other linked KNX devices as well as the KNX IP routers. The ETS automatically creates the filter tables of the KNX IP routers so that the KNX telegrams are routed from the KNX TP lines to the IP line of the controller.
