TARTING UP THE
The first section of this chapter explains the general power-up and operating behavior
of the ClipX following a successful installation. Then the steps required to put the ClipX
into operation are explained. For initial start-up, you should connect the ClipX via Ether-
net to a PC. The description of operation via one of the fieldbuses can be found in chap-
ter „Operation via fieldbus" on page
If you want to operate multiple ClipX devices, you should first connect each
ClipX device individually to a PC and perform a basic configuration (e.g. IP
address and Name).
Then read the section headed
on page 57

Power-up and operating behavior

When the ClipX is powered up, all the inputs and output remain at 0 or 0.0 V as appropri-
ate. The start parameter set is loaded and activated first (= initialization). As soon as
the ClipX has initialized, the outputs are set to the preset or calculated values (factory
setting for the digital outputs: 0, not inverted). If the analog output is inactive, the output
has a high internal resistance. If the source signal for the analog output is invalid, the
specified value in case of an invalid signal is outputted (factory setting 11 V but dis-
abled).
The digital inputs and outputs and the calculations are updated at1000 Hz. The signal
at the analog output is updated at 19.2 kHz. If the source signal has a smaller rate of
change, the value is outputted multiple times. Values are transferred from synchronized
ClipX devices at a maximum of 1000 values per second, so with six connected device
you get 6000 values per second. The maximum time delay between the ClipX values
transmitted over the ClipX bus is 1 ms.
Up to three clients (PCs) can connect to a ClipX; any further connection is
then rejected.
Important: Some browsers make more than one connection. In this case, the
number of possible additional connections is reduced.
