Setting up the parameter configuration via

CPX-FB23 CC-Link V1.1 Festo Maintenance Tool (FMT)
connected to Mitsubishi PLC The FMT software (freeware) and documentations with detailed descriptions are
available at the Festo Support Portal.

Go to www.Festo.com (Support -> Support and Downloads)

FMT
CPX-FB23 (CC-Link manual): EN version -> 526404
CPX-SYS (CPX system manual): EN version -> 526446

To use FMT for CPX-FB23 you have to order a CPX-USB-Adapter:

 NEFC-M12G5-0.3-U1G5 pn: 547432

Important:
GX allocates automatically a node address (more valve terminals necessary). It depends 5. Download network parameters to SPS
on the Exclusive station settings. Please note that the address DIL settings have to be
equal!

Blue: Is the operation mode of the node. Choose “Remote device Station” for the
“Remote I/O” mode of our CPX-FB23 .

Green: Here you define the stations. The setting depends on the used memory area of the
CPX valve terminal.

Tip I/O Mapping (2 of 2)
Prio 3:- Allocation of outputs and inputs depending on the physical order of the
configuration (from the left side to the ride side)
- Compact address mapping without gaps (modules have to be equal)
- Function modules are CMPX, CMAX, CM-HP, CPI...
Location Module I-address O-address - Addresses are assignment after digital I/O modules and pneumatic modules and
1. node CPX-FB23 (no diagnosis) - analogue modules
2. digital output module (8DO) - 1Byte - New station necessary.
3. digital input module (8DI) 1Byte -
4. analogue output module - 4Byte Result for I/O Mapping (1 of 2):
5. Multi-axis interface CMXX 16Byte 16Byte

Mapping Rules:
Prio 1: - digital I/O modules & the system diagnosis start in station 1
- Allocation of valves/outputs and inputs depending on the physical order
of the configuration (from the left side to the right side)
- Compact address mapping without gaps
- The remote ready bit (RR) you find always in the last reserved station (RX area).
If the RR bit is on then you have an error free communication
Prio 2: - Allocation of outputs and inputs depending on the physical order of the
configuration (from the left side to the right side)
- Compact address mapping without gaps (modules have to be equal)
- To set an analogue output you have to set the Control bit before
- Analogue modules are VPPM and VMPA-FB-PS..., too.
- Addresses are assignment after digital I/O modules and pneumatic modules ->
New station necessary.

CC-link Background information: CC-Link specific Led’s

Theoretical maximum space for digital I/O modules = 112 Bit I/O (Mapped in the bit area of
“Rx” (for DI modules) and “Ry” (for DO modules) of the Mitsubishi PLC)
Run No error
Theoretical maximum space for analogue & technology modules = 256 Bit I/O (Mapped in Connection error
the word area “Rwr” (Inputs for analogue & technology modules) & “Rww” (Outputs) for Error data communication fault
analogue & technology modules of the Mitsubishi PLC) CRC & data com. fault
No fault
Here the simplified mapping rule:
SD CPX sends data
1. Add all bits together of the digital I/O modules and the maximum of the I or O bits CPX send no data
divide through 32 bits -> The result rounding up RD CPX receives data
2. Add all bits together of the analogue I/O modules and the maximum of the I or O CPX specific Led‘s CPX receives no data
bits divide through 64 bits -> The result rounding also up
3. Add all bits together of the technology I/O modules and the maximum of the I or O
System failure (SF) Ok
bits divide through 64 bits -> The result rounding also up
Information
Add the rounded off results of point 1 & 2 & 3 together and when it is not bigger as 4 then Diagnostic
the configuration is ok. Hardware defect
Power system/load (PS & PL) Power ok

Tip Write / read module information

via GX Developer software Tip Changing parameters of the CPX

1. Start “Operand Batch” in online mode • Use CPX-MMI or FMT (Festo Maintenance Tool) with the CPX-USB-Adapter
(Online -> Monitorin -> Operand Batch) (NEFC-M12G5-0.3-U1G5 pn: 547432) to change the parameters.

• In “ System parameter “ choose for the Start-UP parameter the option -> “Saved
parameter”
2. New window appears
Blue: Here you enter the
start address
Yellow: Additional options
Green: With this you can write
outputs.

3. Write window

Yellow: Here you can set the outputs  Be carefully if you change the node. You lose all saved
(RY) bit by bit -> controller bit, too. parameters.
Blue: Here you can set the outputs
(Rww) word orientated.  A lighting M-LED indicates stored parameter changes
Green: Here you can see if your entry
was successful -> History.
