Parameter Definition / CRC Calculation
3 Parameter Definition / CRC Calculation
It is best to define the known parameters before configuration in the F-Host, so that
they can be taken into account during configuration.
The procedure, in conjunction with the SIEMENS configuration software SIMATIC
Manager and the optional package S7 Distributed Safety, is described below.
The TR_iParameter software required for the CRC calculation can be found under
http://www.tr-electronic.com/service/downloads/software.html?L=0
3.1 iParameters
The iParameters are preconfigured with meaningful values in the default setting and
should only be changed if expressly required by the automation task. A CRC
calculation is necessary for safe transmission of the individually set iParameters. This
must be performed when changing the predefined iParameters via the TR program
"TR_iParameter". The calculated checksum corresponds to the F-Parameter
F_iPar_CRC. This must be entered in the field with the same name in the
Properties
measuring system with the hardware configurator, also see chapter "Setting the
iParameters" on page 65.
3.1.1 CRC calculation across the iParameters
The predefined standard values are used for the following example of a CRC
calculation. These can be loaded in the TR_iParameter program using an XML
template file. If different values are required, the standard values can be overwritten
by double-clicking on the relevant entry. The modified parameters can be saved as a
complete parameter set or opened again as a template.
