MICRO SD CARD

The micro SD card can be used to store device-specific values and user settings and transfer them to anotherdevice.
The micro SD card is not suitable for backups. If the micro SD card of the device is re-inserted at a laterstage, the data last saved are not restored. The function of the micro SD 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 micro SD card is checked for the presence of existing data when the device is re-started. Thisdata will be transferred or overwritten accordingly:• The micro SD card does not contain any data.
The existing device-specific values are saved to the micro SD card.
• The micro SD card contains data compatible with the device.
The data on the micro SD card are transferred by the device. The existing device-specific values and user
settings are overwritten.
• The micro SD card contains data that are not compatible with the device.
The device overwrites the data on the micro SD card with its own device-specific values and user
settings.

NOTE
The micro SD card used is a special industrial version that offers additional durability andtemperature-resistance.
► Do not use a standard micro SD card for the device. Only purchase the micro SD card for the device

from your Bürkert sales department.

START-UP WITH BÜRKERT COMMUNICATOR
The Bürkert Communicator software can be downloaded free of charge from the Bürkert website. In
addition to the software, the USB-büS-interface, available as an accessory, is required. For devices
with EtherNet protocol, a connection via the REST interface is possible without büS interface.
This chapter describes the basic use of the Bürkert Communicator. Detailed information on how to
use the Bürkert Communicator software can be found on the Bürkert website at:www.burkert.com → 8920 → Downloads “Operating instructions”.

Set up büS network

The task of the fieldbus gateway is to convert process values between an Industrial Ethernet PLC and büS
participants. To do this, the ME43 fieldbus gateway must be configured and parameterised.
Selection of the büS participants that are to communicate with the PLC via the ME43 fieldbus gateway:

Define the direction for the transmission of the process values (from/to PLC, from/to büS participant):
The direction is assigned in the büS fieldbus from the viewpoint of the ME43 fieldbus gateway.
Example:- Set-point values of a büS participant are output values of the ME43 fieldbus gateway.
- Actual values of a büS participant are input values of the ME43 fieldbus gateway.
Process output values of the PLC are recorded in the ME43 fieldbus gateway as process input values byIndustrial Ethernet. These process input values are converted and output as process output values by büS.
Conversely, process output values of the büS participant are recorded as büS input values. These process
input values are converted and output as process output values via Industrial Ethernet.

Start-up using a web server

START-UP USING A WEB SERVER

Fieldbus gateway type ME43 has an integrated web server that provides functions for the configuration anddisplay of status information.
The web server can be used for the following protocols:• PROFINET• EtherNet/IP• EtherCAT• Modbus TCP• CC-Link IE field basic
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 5.2 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

Configuring the device

Creating the gateway configuration is not possible through the web server. The Communicator tool isrequired for this.
Configuring multiple devices:
Since the devices have the same IP address on delivery, only one unconfigured device is permitted
in the network so that the device can be identified.
▶ Connect to the network and configure the devices individually in sequence.

→ Enter the device name and IP address for the device.

The device name (DNS compatible name) is used in the planning process.

OPC UA

12.1

General description

The OPC UA server offers an OPC UA client the possibility to read and write the values (cyclical and acyclic)
determined by the gateway configuration.
To make the data of the ME43 and the connected büS devices available in an OPC UA client, the following
points must be observed:• A gateway configuration with Communicator version 5.2 or higher must be carried out, acyclic values canalso be selected.
• Values that are available at the PLC via the set protocol and at the OPC client are identical and cannot be
differentiated.
• A büS mapping must be performed after the gateway configuration. If büS devices are not connected to thegateway via mapping, the values and names of the devices cannot be exported.

12.2

Establish connection with OPC UA

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