3.5.5 Using the display menu to distinguish the current revision of the device (PA)
Use the display to open the Fct. B3.5 or C6.8.2 of the signal converter. You will get the following
information:
• KROHNE Ident.-No. (of the assembled PROFIBUS PCB)
• Software revision (of the PROFIBUS software)
• Date of production (of the PROFIBUS device)
3.6 Signal converter MFC 300 PROFIBUS PA with MBP interface as
replacement for older signal converter MFC 050/051 PA
3.6.1 Ident.-No. supported
Ident.-No. "E801hex": Ident.-No. "E801hex": Ident.-No. "E801hex": Ident.-No. "E801hex": This Ident.-No. belongs to KROHE801.GSD / YP01E801.GSD and supports
a compatibility mode concerning the cyclic data transfer (cyclic measurement values and
diagnosis) if the MFC300 with PROFIBUS MBP interface will be used for replacement of an
"MFC050/051PA". It is not
not not not necessary to adapt the PLC configuration. Communication functions
are restricted to those functions supported by MFC050/051 converters. Take care to set the
"MFC300 PROFIBUS MBP interface" parameters in a way to get the same behaviour as of
"MFC050/051PA" concerning calculation of measuring values and totalizers (this has to be done
manually).
3.6.2 Manufacturer specific GSD files (PA): KROHE801.GSD and YP01E801.GSD for the
older signal converter MFC050/051 with PROFIBUS MBP interface
The PROFIBUS signal converter with MBP Interface operating in the MFC050/051 compatibility
mode ensures operation with a PLC system with software parameters based on the
MFC050/051PA. This option is important for those customers who do not want to change the
parameters in the PLC software after having replaced the MFC050/051PA by an MFC300 with
PROFIBUS MBP interface. The existing GSD files of the MFC050/051PA ("KROHE801.GSD" or
"YP01E801.GSD") can still be used.
In this application, the compatibility mode of the MFC300 with PROFIBUS MBP interface has to
be selected (display menu D2.2.4 - Identification No. -> choose MFC050/051); some other entries
have to be performed in a next step.
In order to provide communication between "MFC300 with PROFIBUS MBP interface" and the
PLC, you may - in principle – use the GSD of the "MFC050/051PA" ("KROHE801.GSD" or
"YP01E801.GSD") and –alternatively - the GSD of the "MFC300 with PROFIBUS MBP interface"
("KR014511.GSD" or "YP014511.GSD") which performs full functionality of the "MFC300 with
PROFIBUS MBP interface".
CAUTION!
This Ident.-No. will be available only if a PROFIBUS PA software version ≥3.0.0 is used.
