System monitoring

The system monitoring checks the gateway as well as the connected büS devices using the NAMUR status.
The system monitoring is in Bürkert Communicator at:
General settings > Parameter > System monitoring
The Diagnostics menu option is used to set which type of messages of the büS devices is transferred by
the gateway as the overall status. If all types are set, one message per type appears on the gateway.
For example, if a connected device is in “Maintenance” status, the gateway displays the message “At least
one büS device is in the status: Maintenance”, and the NAMUR LED adopts the status, assuming there areno errors with a higher priority.
The function is ensured when the following operating conditions are met:
• Gateway configuration has been created with a Communicator version higher than 6• The product catalogue has been used for the configuration. In this process, each device is assigned adevice ID• For each büS device, the NAMUR status has been added to the gateway configuration as a cyclical value• The NAMUR status of the individual devices is connected to the gateway
Special features for PROFINET:
The following is set under the menu option
General settings > System monitoring > Single diagnostics of the system devices: An error in a connected büS device means that (with “PROFINET alarms active”), an alarm is sent to the corresponding slotof the NAMUR status.

Simplified power supply plan

When modules in the ME6x product series are combined, the information provided in this chapter must be
followed.
For type ME63, the supply can be either via X03 (max. 2x16A) or X4 (max. 4A).
• Attention: A supply via both is prohibited.
For Type ME64, Power 1 and Power 2 are two separate circuits with common ground.
• Both supplies are routed separately to the module. Power 1 supplies ports X1-X8 (and theinternal electronics assembly of the module).
• The switch must be closed if the supply comes via AUX power.
• Attention: Only max. 4A will then be available for the entire module. It must be guaranteedthat the module is not supplied via X03 if the supply comes via AUX power.
For Type ME66, Power 1 and Power 2 are two separate circuits with common ground.
• Power 1 supplies ports X1-X4, Power 2 supplies ports X5-X8• Power supply via port X03 with a current of 2 x 16A (16A per circuit).
• Switch may only or must be closed when supplied via X01 (AUX). With supply via X03, do
NOT close the switch!

Reverse protection - ME63
If both supplies (A-coded and L-coded) are connected, it is not permitted for any return flow to occur via theA-coded supply. With the ME63 type, this is prevented via reverse protection.
If the modules are only supplied via the M12 A-coded (X4) supply, the reserve protection function switches
over automatically.
Power supply via X01 (AUX power) - ME64 & ME66
The power supply is activated via port X03 for the modules in delivery condition.

ATTENTION
Input cannot be made via both ports at the same time.
If the modules are supplied via port X01, the switch must be changed over.
Underneath the light blue side panel, there is a switch for changing over the module supply from X03 to port
X01 (AUX power). „7.3.2 Simplified power supply plan“

ATTENTION
Damage to the switch for AUX power.
A current >4A will damage the switch.
▶ When switching over to AUX power, make sure that the maximum current is no greater than 4 A, otherwise the switch will be damaged.

MEMORY CARD

The memory card can be used to store device-specific values and user settings and transfer them to another device.
The memory card is part of the accessories and is not enclosed as a standard.
The memory card is not suitable for back-ups. If the memory card of the device is re-inserted at a laterstage, the data last saved are not restored. The function of the memory card is limited to data exchange.
Note!
By resetting the device to the factory settings, the data saved on the SD card are also reset.
A newly created memory card is checked for the presence of existing data when the device is re-started. This data
will be transferred or overwritten accordingly:
The memory card does not containany data.

The existing device-specific values are saved to the memory card.

The memory card contains data compatible with the device

The data on the memory card are transferred by the device. The
existing device-specific values are saved to the memory card.

The memory card contains data thatare not compatible with the device.

START-UP USING A WEB SERVER

The ME63 type FieldConnect has an integrated web server that provides functions for configuring and displaying status information.
The web server can be used for the following protocols:• PROFINET• EtherNet/IP• Modbus TCP
The IP address of the device is used for access via the web server.

NOTE
Unauthorized access to the web server.
▶ To prevent unauthorized access by third parties, operate the device only within a protected network.

11.1

Function of the web server

The web server can be used to specify a number of settings (such as the IP address).
If the gateway configuration is created with Communicator (version 5.1 or higher), the web server shows animage of the entire system. The connected devices are depicted on an overview page. Clicking a device will
open a device-specific page.
The web server displays basic data such as serial number, device type, etc. In addition, all cyclical and acyclic
data declared during the gateway configuration are displayed. This only functions when the corresponding
devices are also connected to the gateway during the web server access and connected via büS mapping. If
a device is not present during access, a gap is left on the web server for the assigned device ID.

11.2

Making a connection to the web server via Bürkert
Communicator

Web server can be enabled or disabled via Bürkert Communicator.
Web server > Parameter > Activate web server

11.3

Establishing a connection to the web server→ Connect the PC to the device via a network cable.
→ Enter the IP address in the address line of the web browser.
The IP address of the device upon delivery is 192.168.0.100.
If the IP address is changed to an unknown value, the current IP address can be requested from the displayof the device or determined with the help of Bürkert Communicator.

Passwords

NOTE
Security risk due to standard passwords.
Unauthorized persons can log in to the web server and make changes to the system.
► Please change standard passwords.
► If the web server is not needed, disable access via Bürkert Communicator.

Web server > Parameters > Deactivate web server.

The user name and password are factory set to admin. When resetting the passwords, these settings arereset to the default values.

11.5.1

Change password→ Logging onto the web server.
→ Enter and confirm the new password in the menu General settings.

11.5.2

Factory reset of password→ Click on Login.
→ On the bottom right of the login window, click on Reset passwords.
The device must be rebooted within 3 minutes so that the passwords can actually be reset. A restart can betriggered via the fieldbus gateway display, the Bürkert Communicator software or via a voltage reset.

11.6

Configuring the device

Configuring multiple devices:

OPC UA

12.1

General description

The OPC UA server allows an OPC UA client to read and write values (cyclical and acyclic) determined by
the gateway configuration.
To make the data from the ME63 and the connected büS devices on an OPC UA client, the following points
are to be observed:• A gateway configuration with Communicator version of 6 or higher (see point xy) must be carried out,meaning that acyclic values can also be selected as well.
• The values that are available on the controller via the set protocol and on the OPC client are identical andcannot be evaluated separately.
• After the gateway configuration, a büS mapping must be carried out. If büS devices are not connected to
the gateway via mapping, the values and names of the devices cannot be exported.

12.2

Establishing a connection to OPC UA

The function for enabling or disabling the OPC UA server can be set in Bürkert Communicator:

Server certificate

The OPC UA server offers the user the option of exchanging the factory server certificate for their own.
Exchange is only possible via the web server.
To change the certificate:→ Open the web server with the IP address of the ME63.
The certificate can only be exchanged after login.
→ Select OPC UA Server.
→ Under Server certificate click on theand select the file in „DER“ format.

→ Select Change certificate.
