B.2.1 Procedure for data transmission
Caution
In special application cases, access with CI commands
enables parameterising and commissioning of the MTR-DCI
directly via the RS232 interface, though it is not suitable
for real-time communication, such as for control. Control of
the MTR-DCI via RS232 requires also:
– A risk estimate by the user
– Ambient conditions free of interference
– Back-up of the data transmission e.g. via the control
program of the host
• You should use the control panel or the FCT for commis-
sioning and parameterisation.
• Note that controlling the MTR-DCI via RS232 is not in
accordance with the intended use of the device.
Warning
Injury to people or damage to property.
Full access to the internal variables of the controller is
possible via CI commands. Incorrect operation can cause
the controller to react unexpectedly and the motor may
start uncontrolled.
• Only use the CI commands if you already have experi-
ence of using Service Data Objects.
• Read about using the objects in the CiA Draft Standard
402 before you use the CI commands of the Command
Interpreter of the MTR-DCI.
For data transmission you will require a conventional terminal
program or the CI terminal of the MTR-DCI plugin in the Festo
Configuration Tool.
