8. Troubleshooting – FAQ
8.1. FAQ: Projecting
8.1.1.
Where do I get an encoder manual?
If included in the order, the manual will come as pdf-file on data carrier (disc or CD). The manual is also
available as download under www.baumerivo.com. Opening the file requires „Adobe Reader"
available free-of-charge. Make sure that it is the appropriate manual for your encoder using the table at the
beginning of the manual. You will find the encoder type on the product label (for example GXMMW or
GCAMW).
Should your encoder not be on the list please contact Baumer IVO.
8.1.2.
Where do I get the appropriate GSD file?
If included in the order, the GSD file required for projecting is attached to the encoder on data carrier (disc or
CD). The GSD file is also available as download in the Internet under www.baumerivo.com.
The GSD file suitable for your encoder can be seen in the table at the beginning of the manual. You will find
the encoder type on the product label (for example GXMMW or GCAMW).
Should your encoder not be on the list please contact Baumer IVO.
8.1.3.
Class3 or Class4 parameterization?
The only difference between Class 4 and Class 3 is that setting a preset is disabled in Class 3.
We therefore recommend to utilize Class3 only in specialized applications where a preset is not required.
8.1.4.
Input of 32bit parameter data in Siemens Step7 software
Some projecting software for PROFIBUS master, also Step7
32bit parameters.
For this reason the parameters have to be split up in two of 16bit each prior to the input operation for later
entry in the fields marked "hi" and "lo" in the parameterization window.
The 32bit parameter of maximum 65535 (16 bit) is just entered = 0 in field „hi". The parameter itself is entered
decimally directly in field „lo".
Parameters greater than 65535 must be split up first and converted according to the scheme below. Use a
calculator featuring a hexadecimal calculating function as provided for example in „Windows accessory tools".
Proceed as follows:
Convert the numeric value from decimal into hexadecimal format using the calculator.
Split the hexadecimal value in two blocks „hi" and „lo", by counting 4 digits from the right
(numerals/letters). This is block "lo". The remaining digits at left (max. four, numerals or letters) form block
„hi".
Take each block separately and convert it from hexadecimal to decimal format.
Both values can now be entered in the parameterization window.
