Configuration with KS2000
Commissioning procedure
- Install the configuration software KS2000, version 4.3.0.39 or higher.
- Plug the KL6401 into your Bus Coupler, and terminate the K-Bus with a KL9010.
- Log on. Should the dialog box Create new XML Device Files open, you should cancel the procedure at this point.
The terminal can now be configured under Settings 
.
Enter the SNVTs in the table 
. Use 
to add a variable and 
to remove a selected variable.
The Id column cannot be edited. It contains the NV index. This index is also required as input variable wNVIndex for the PLC function blocks (see TwinCAT Information System).
In column Nv Name any text can be entered. These descriptions are required in the LON configuration tool (not provided by Beckhoff) for identifying the respective variables.
Select the required SNVT in column SNVT Type.
Column Dir (Direction) indicates whether the variable is sent (out) or received (in).
Set a project name (click on PROJECT NAME).
Then edit the program ID (Prog ID)
. Do this by clicking Program ID, and selecting a Program ID. This program ID may only be issued once in your LON project. A maximum of 256 (0-255) program IDs can be used. This means that you can use 256 different configurations in one project.
NOTE: LON terminals with the same configuration also have the same program ID.
Use the button 
to create the Xif file. This file is required in the LON configuration tool (not provided by Beckhoff).
Use the button 
to save the configuration in a BLC file. This file can be used to load the configuration if a terminal is replaced or to use the same configuration in another terminal.
The data can now be written to the terminal. Use the buttons [>>>] or [<<<] to select the required slot and then the button WRITE to write the data to the terminal. The slot may not be activated (green) during this process.
NOTE regarding the slots: The terminal is supplied with slot 0 active (factory setting). This slot contains a fixed configuration and cannot be modified. To transfer other values a different slot has to be configured and activated. Only one slot at a time is active.
The project must be activated after the download has successfully been completed. Use the button SET ACTIVE PROJECT. Power must now be removed from the KL6401. After switching on the KL6401 (switching the power supply on again) the desired configuration is active.
