US 2014/0122758 A1 · METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PARAMETERIZING AN AS-I SLAVE

Abstract

A method is disclosed for parameterizing an AS-i slave. In order to improve the parameterization of an AS-i slave, the following steps are carried out: determining the parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized via an engineering tool; transmitting the determined parameters to an AS-i master via a first telegram; receiving the first telegram, which contains the determined parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized, via a receiving unit of the AS-i master; automatically converting the received first telegram into an AS-i telegram by a processing unit of the AS-i master, such that the AS-i telegram contains the determined parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized; and transmitting the AS-i telegram, which contains the determined parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized, to the AS-i slave to be parameterized via a transmission unit of the AS-i master.

Dependent claims

A method for parameterizing an AS-i slave, comprising:

determining the parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized via an engineering tool;
transmitting the determined parameters to an AS-i master by way of a first telegram, which is not an AS-I telegram;
receiving the first telegram, containing the determined parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized, via a receive unit of the AS-i master;
automatically converting the received first telegram into an AS-i telegram via a processing unit of the AS-i master so that the AS-i telegram contains the determined parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized;
and
sending the AS-telegram, which contains the determined parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized, to the AS-i slave to be parameterized via a send unit of the AS-i master,
wherein in order to determine the parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized via the engineering tool, a device description file of the slave to be parameterized is loaded, wherein the device description file includes a parameter set of the AS-i slave to be parameterized.

4 more elements

An AS-i master, comprising:

a receive unit, configured to receive a first telegram;
including parameters for an AS-i slave to be parameterized, the first telegram not being an AS-i telegram;
a processing unit, configured to automatically convert the received first telegram into an AS-i telegram, so that the AS-i telegram contains the parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized;
and
a send unit, configured to send the AS-i telegram, including the parameters of the AS-i slave to be parameterized, to the AS-i slave to be parameterized,
wherein the AS-i master is configured to check if the received parameters of the AS-I slave to be parameterized correspond to the AS-I slave to be parameterized.
