Preparing the Communication
This section describes the settings both for the BFI and the iX ModBus Master controller and some other helpful information.
BFI parameter settings
BFI-E3:
- P12=3. Modbus TCP control with Acceleration and Deceleration time in parameter P-03/ P-04.
- P12=4. Modbus TCP control with Acceleration and Deceleration time sent by Modbus TCP.
Adjust if necessary:
- P14=201 to make all parameters available.
- P36 = Station number must be 1.
- P36 = Communication speed must be 115,2 Kbits/sec.
- P36 = Timeout.
t => BFI will trip when no communication
r => BFI will coast to stop
Function can either be disabled by setting 0 second or set to 30, 100, 1000 or 3000 milliseconds
Additionally you either have to bridge Pin1 and Pin2 or use the
start/direction switch to set the start signal.
BFI Ethernet ports
The 2 Ethernet ports are marked P1 and P2 and have the same IP-address.
The 2 ports on the left side marked D1 and D2 are serial ports not intended
for Ethernet. Faulty connection of cables might cause damage to either BFI-E3
or other equipment.
Indication of status on LED of BFI-E3
Example of LED indication of ethernet ports in BFI-E3.
Communication working
Communication interruption
Network Status Indicator, NS
State| Indication
Steady Off| BFI is not powered up or no IP address
Flashing Green| Online, no Modbus TCP connections active
Steady Green| Online, Modbus TCP connections active
Flashing Red| Connection Timeout after working Modbus TCP connection
Steady Red| Duplicate IP address
Web server in BFI-E3
Default IP-address of BFI-E3 is 192.168.1.253 and Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Enter IP-address in the web browser. Username is Admin and Password is the
serial number of the BFI.
Module Configuration
- OPT-3-MTPIG-BFI is the name for the internal Modbus TCP board .
- The serial number is the identification for the complete BFI.
- Hardware version is 0419
- Latest available firmware in October 2020 is V101 R003 S0168
Network Statistic
Modbus Statistics
Correct working communication without any fault should look like below. Counter of Transmitted, Received and Successful Transmissions are calculating upwards Error counters stays at 0.
How to change IP-address and Network mask
- Enter new IP-address and/or Network Mask
- Push on Apply New Values
iX ModBusTCP settings
Configure the controller settings as shown below.
ModBusRTU and ModBusTCP parallely
It is not possible to run ModBus RTU and ModBus TCP at the same time!
The iX Project
The most important screens of the iX are the Main menu (Demo_Main) and the All Parameters menu (Demo_AllPar).
Besides these 2 screens there are a couple of other nice to have screens.
Main Menu
On this screen you get feedback from the BFI concerning it´s type (BFI-E3) and
you see the most import status and output data. In addition to that you can
set the frequency, start/stop the BFI and you can also switch between multiple
BFI´s by changing the Node Id.
Other Screens
General BFI information.
Remote IO Menu
On this screen you can see the sate of the digital and analog Inputs.
Other Screens
General BFI information.
Trend based on a DataLogger.
Additionally there are a Help screen and a System Information screen.
This example works well for X2 baseV2/pro/marine/control/extreme series
devices.
Please follow below guidelines how to install into your application.
Import the project parts
Follow the steps to add the enclosed screens and the script module to your iX project:
- Unpack the enclosed example ZIP-file to a temporary folder.
- Start iX Developer and load your project.
- In the Project Explorer, right-click in the lower left corner (1. in the picture)
- In the list, select Import… (2. in the picture)
- Navigate to the temporary folder, where you unpacked the ZIP-file and select ScriptModule_iX_BFI_E3_ModbusTCP.neo, click [Open].
- Select TextLibrary.neo, click [Open].
- Select Background.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Select Demo_Main.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Select Demo_AllPar.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Optionally Select Demo_Drive_Info.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Optionally Select Demo_Help.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Optionally Select Demo_RemoteIO.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Optionally Select Demo_Tools.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Optionally Select Demo_Trend.neoxaml and DataLogger1.neo, click [Open].
- Optionally Select Diagnostic.neoxaml, click [Open].
- Assign the Background screen to all imported screens.
- If you get validation errors when building the project, export the all Tags of the example project and import/merge it with your project Tags.
- Check the DataTypes of all Tags, Scaling, Initial Values, Index Registers and connected Tag Actions as some properties are not exported/imported!
- Done!
