Introduction:

This document is a brief introduction to the configuration of the QuickPanel View

(QPV) and QP Controls (QPC) DeviceNet Master Card, IC754DVNM01, using ProphecyMachine Edition Software. Only a basic configuration example will be provided andthe audience that is intended for this document will be GE Fanuc Technical SupportAgents who have previous exposure to Machine Edition Software as well as theQPV/QPC. The GE Fanuc 90-30 Hardware platform will also be utilized to interface toboth the Master and Slave cards and a certain level of competence with the 90-30will also be required. This document will not cover the installation of the hardware asthis is covered in the respective manuals which can be found on the GE Fanucwebsite. Information regarding DeviceNet can be found at http://www.odva.org/.

For this configuration a 6 QPC TFT is being used with the IC754DVNM01. The setupwill have the QPC Master controlling a 90-30 IC693DNS201 Slave. Two I/O cards willbe used in the 90-30 rack to simulate the data being passed to and from the QPC tothe PLC. The configuration for the 90-30 will also be included in this example.

1. Start by creating a new empty project

2. For this configuration we aregoing to add two Targets, the QPControl and the 90-30.

***This portion only pertains to this example, as a GE Fanuc PLC is being used.This will illustrate that the data lengths that are setup in the Slave (90-30) have tomatch the lengths that have been configured in the Master (QPC) only theconfiguration for the IC693DNS201 will be covered in detail***

3. The PLC rack for this example will be as follows:

Slot 0 IC693PWR321 (Power Supply)Slot 1 IC693CPU364 (CPU)Slot 2 IC693DNS201 (DeviceNet Slave Module)Slot 3 IC693MDL940 (discrete Output Module)Slot 4 IC693ACC300 (16 point input simulator)

4. There are 2 portions to the IC693DNS201 configuration, the networkconfiguration and the module configuration. We will configure the SlavesNetwork configuration first. To open the editor, right click the module in the

Hardware Configuration and select Network Settings

5. The modules network configuration is now seen.

For this example all that will be changed on the General tab is the MAC ID. We willmodify this to a value of 1. For a definition of the network parameters, refer to GFK-2916A.

6. Now a Connection is to be setup. This is the data connection between theSlave Module and the QP Master.

7. A Polled Connection is enabled by clicking the radio button

Please refer to GFK- 2916A for information regarding the different connection types.

8. The data lengths must now be configured. The lengths are the amount of datathat Slave will be sending to and receiving from the Master.

***The lengths that are setup in the Slave have to match the lengths defined in

the Master for the devices to communicate***

The lengths will be setup as follows:

Input Resource Size = 2 BytesOutput Resource size = 2 Bytes

****The 2 bytes in and 2 bytes out are just arbitrary for this example. These values

have been chosen for this example to simulate the 16 boolean outputs from theIC693MDL940 and the IC693ACC301 Simulator. Please confer the documentationfor the maximum allowable data lengths****

Click on OK.

9. Now the Module configuration needs to be done. To open the Configuration,once again right click the module and select Configure.

The Module configuration is seen

The default values are left for this example.

10. The Data areas now have to be enabled.


9/15

11. Click on the Input Data Area tab. Doubleclick the area 1 type and select Connection1 Outputs (to this PLC) and click ok.

Set the lengths to 16 (2 bytes as Discrete inputs are being used) and then set thereference address to %I00113. This address has been chosen due to the fact that theinput simulator has been configured for this range and we will be using these pointsfor simulation later in this document.

12. Click on the Output Data Area tab. Doubleclick the area 1 type and select Connection 1Inputs (from this PLC)

Set the length to 16 (2 bytes as Discrete outputs are being used) and then set thereference address to %Q00017. This address has been chosen due to the fact thatthe IC693MDL940 has been configured for this range and we will be using thesepoints for simulation later in this document.


10/15

***Two rungs of logic are required in the PLC for the data simulation as follows***

13. Go Online with the PLC. Download to the PLC and put it into Run Mode .

14. Now the QPC has to be configured. Right click the QPC Target and select AddComponent and add the HMI component. Do the same for the LogicComponent.

15. Right click the Control I/O Driver heading in the navigator and select NewDriver and select DeviceNet I/O


11/15

16. Double click the driver and the Control I/O Configuration is seen

17. Left click on Card 1 and the cards properties are seen in the inspector

18. The Baud rate setting needs to be modified to 500 to match the slavesconfiguration.

19. Right click Card 1 and select Add Slave


12/15

20. From the list add the GE Fanuc Automation 90-30 DeviceNet Slave (Major: 1Minor: 16) and click OK.

21. Select the Connection 1 table and enable the Polled connection with 2bytes in and 2 bytes out as was done in the 90-30 Slave and click OK.

22. The Control I/O Terminals are created.


13/15

23. Variables must now be created for the Terminals.

24. For this example, 2 boolean arrays are created, one for the inputs and one forthe outputs. The data source for these variables is going to be Control. Thetypes will be input for the input terminals and output for the output terminals.

27. Download to the Panel.

28. Toggle the switches for the input simulator and notice that the top rows ofpilot lights reflect the states of the switches. Press the pilot light on the bottomtwo rows and notice that the outputs on the IC693MDL940 that correspondwith pilot lights are turning on.
