A complete project configuration of BIS V-6111 includes these settings:
– Station address
– Baud rate
– Profile
– Assigned station addresses
– Extended cycles
– Process data size for head1
– Process data size for head2
– Process data size for head3
– Process data size for head4
– Process data size of the IO-Link port
Where profiles 0to 8 define the following parameters implicitly.
The project configuration can take place using the display. Then, only the parameters of station
address, baud rate and profile are available. Detailed configurations can take place via the
service interface using the CC-Link tool
The display can be used to configure the station address, the baud rate and the profile. After the
configuration, the device carries out a reset to apply the values.
If a profile from 0to 8 is selected, the parameters for assigned station addresses, extended
cycles and the process data sizes are defined automatically. For Profile9, the values are used
that were configured during the last project configuration using the CC-Link tool.
The project configuration can be carried out using the CC-Link tool. The tool is already in the
device's internal memory. If the BISV-6111 is connected to a PC, the internal memory is
detected as a drive, like a USB stick. To use the CC-Link tool, a driver must be installed on the
PC that allows the service interface of the BISV-6111 to be addressed as a virtual COM port.
The driver is available as a 32-bit version in the Driver/x86 directory and as a 64-bit version in the
Driver/x64 directory. It functions with WindowsXP, Vista, 7and 8. Administrator rights are
required for installation.
If the driver is installed, the PC has an additional virtual COM port as soon as the BISV-6111 is
connected to it via USB. The CC-Link tool is in the Tools directory. Ideally, it should be copied to
the PC's hard drive. No installation is required. However, the CC-Link tool requires Microsoft.net
Framework4. You may have to install it from the Microsoft website.
You can now configure the BISV-6111 conveniently and flexibly using the CC-Link tool. It is easy
to select the baud rate and station address parameters. For the process data buffer sizes, you
can either choose a profile from 0to 8 or select Profile9, which enables the process data buffer
size to be adjusted separately for each head and for the IO-Link port. The box underneath then
shows all possible combinations that support the desired process data buffer. Here, select the
desired combination, select the COM port to which the BIS V is connected and send the project
configuration to the device using the "Send Parameters to BISV-6111" button. BISV-6111 takes
over the values and carries out a reset.
