Phoenix Contact Axioline

the phoenix contact axioline smart elements integration is currently in closed beta testing that means it is not publicly available right now a installing the phoenix contact axioline system prerequisites every phoenix contact axioline system consists of at least one of each of the following components one edingcnc motion controller , the supported motion controllers are the cnc720 and cnc760 one edingcnc modbustcp license , available as a separate add on that is activated on the motion controller one phoenix contact modbustcp bus coupler axl f bk eth (2688459) one phoenix contact axioline f connector , included with the bus coupler at least one phoenix contact axioline module carrier , these are available in 4 slots (axl f bp se4, 1088135) and 6 slots (axl f bp se6, 1088136) at least one phoenix contact axioline smart element , the supported variants are axl se do16/1 (1088129) for digital outputs, and the axl se di16/1 (1088127) for digital inputs configuring the phoenix contact axioline bus coupler ip address the default ip address the axioline modbus tcp ships with is 192 168 0 x this address does not match the subnet that the edingcnc controllers use by default to use the same ethernet port, these devices must be in the same subnet network interface the internet connection may use the same subnet as the bus coupler's default; in this case, the internet connection must be closed first (disconnect from wifi or remove the internet cable) configure the network interface of the pc used to set up the bus coupler to use 192 168 0 51 this is usually the port that the edingcnc controller is already attached to the same steps for a different ip address are outlined in network setup docid 1tgqjqvfrjxcvg0vjcgw1 , substitute 172 22 2 101 for 192 168 0 51 set bus coupler rotary switches rotate the rotary coding switches on the front of the phoenix contact axioline bus coupler to the following setting s1 = 5, s2 = 0 start the device if it was already powered, reapply power to restart the device rotate both the rotary coding switches to 0 to allow changing the ip address later configure the ip address open the web portal to configure the bus coupler by opening a browser and going to 192 168 0 50 under configuration, go to ip settings set the ip address to the desired address in this manual, 172 22 2 99 is used so that it does not overlap with the default edingcnc ip address the subnet will be 255 255 255 0 , and the default gateway is 0 0 0 0 enter the password for the bus coupler (default is "private") and press apply and restart rotate the rotary coding switches on the front of the phoenix contact axioline bus coupler to the following setting s1 = 0, s2 = a to ensure the new static ip address is used restore network interface settings follow the steps outlined in network setup docid 1tgqjqvfrjxcvg0vjcgw1 to restore the ip address used for the edingcnc controllers the controller and bus coupler are now on the same network and can both be connected to the same ethernet port on the pc to validate that the new ip address is being used, open the web portal again by opening a browser window and going to the new ip address if the web portal opens, the ip address is correct smart element configuration ensure that all the required smart elements are inserted in their correct position on the module carrier changing the presence or location of these modules requires repeating these steps open the web portal by opening a browser window and navigating to the ip address that was configured previously (the default is 172 22 2 99 ) under configuration, go to startup behavior and make sure that plug and play mode is not checked if it was checked, uncheck it, provide the password (default is "private"), and press apply if it was already unchecked, but a new smart element configuration is used, check it, provide the password (default is "private"), and press apply and restart wait for the device to restart and repeat this step after these steps, the bus coupler detects all elements the position and modbus registers for all devices can be seen by going to "modbus i/o table" under "modbus/tcp (udp)" take note of every smart element's number, type, and input or output register these are required for configuring the system in the edingcnc software configuring the edingcnc software ensure that both the edingcnc controller and the phoenix contact axioline system are connected, powered, and properly configured the current version of the software has no setup for the phoenix contact axioline; this means that the configuration must be done from the server ini file make sure to only edit this file while the software is closed \[io] section in the \[io] section of the server ini file, the mapping of the external gpio device to g code commands is set up in case both axioline and rly8 modules are used in the same system, these settings may require more modifications to use all smart elements, modify gpio device x type for every smart element that is connected to 2, where x is replaced by the index when using 6 smart elements, modify gpio device 1 type through gpio device 6 type to 2 \[modbustcp slave] section in the \[modbustcp slave] section, modify the following values slavetype to 1 slaveip to the ip established previously (default is 172 22 2 99 ) the following settings must be modified for each smart element used replace x with the smart element number submoduletype x to 1 for an axl se di16 (digital input) or 2 for a axl se do16 (digital output) submodulemodbusaddress x to the address as established in the last step of the previous configuration chapter usage from a job or macro the phoenix contact axioline smart elements can be controlled and read by the g code interpreter the commands used for this are documented in m54, m55, m56, m57 (general purpose io) docid\ pkhadteljosp0wttu 1dj the p value for these commands is the input/output number this value is calculated by multiplying the smart element id by 100 and then adding the input/output number to that result for example, input 8 on smart element 5 van be read using m56 p508
