5.5.8 Connection of Engineering Station
The engineering station communication cable can be plugged into the service port X10 on the
Processor Module PM511 front any time.
• First connect the communication cable
• Then switch on the power supply to the engineering tool.
Prepare for a session of programming Advant Controller 450.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Work with the engineering station is supported by adequate documentation.
The detailed information of different configuration activities using an engineering tool is given
in the reference manual AMPL Configuration Advant Controller 400 Series.
If the actual Advant Controller 450 is a node in a LAN, the engineering station can be connected
to any of the nodes included in the network. Remote configuration/maintenance can be
performed in that way.
Additional Information for Redundant Processor Modules
Connection to Primary Processor Module
Connect the engineering station to the processor module which is PRIMARY (“P1” or “P2” on
the number display). The operation of the engineering station/target system does not differ from
its operation in a system without redundancy.
Following a changeover, the engineering station loses contact with the target system, since the
processor module to which it is connected has failed. In order to reconnect the aid with the
target system, connect the engineering station cable to the new primary unit’s service port.
Work can then continue, once contact with the target system has been established
(RECONNECT).
Remote configuration via LAN is not influenced by a changeover.
Connection to Backup Processor Module for Maintenance
Maintenance can be performed on the backup module while it is in the OFFLINE mode while
the primary module is operating normally at the same time. The primary module is not affected.
• The engineering station is connected to the backup module.
• The start mode selector on the backup module is set to 4, the OFFLINE position.
• Restart in OFFLINE mode by depressing the ENTER button on the backup module.
NOTE
Make sure that the operations are being performed on the backup module!
All maintenance functions that can normally be performed in the OFFLINE mode can now be
carried out, except for referencing process I/O modules.
