Parameterization and Commissioning
BC8050 und BC8150 35 Version: 3.0.0
Fig. 32: Properties of the remote connection
Remote Name: Any
AMS-Net-ID: 1.1.1.1.1.1 (Default)
Address: COM Port: Baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits
Transport: Select "COM port"
When the Bus Terminal Controller is switched on, the default AMS Net ID is always "1.1.1.1.1.1" (except all
Ethernet Controllers).
The AMS Net ID can be changed as required. Please note that the new AMS Net ID cannot be changed
again in this way.
If you need to change the new AMS Net ID again, you have to restart the Bus Terminal Controller, so that
the AMS Net ID is reset to the default AMS Net ID, "1.1.1.1.1.1".
You can now change the AMS Net ID again.
Note
Strings can only be entered at the second call
No strings can be entered under address when the dialog is first called (see above). Enter
the name, AMS Net ID and transport type and close the dialog. With the second call you
can enter your COM port.
The communication starts when TwinCAT is in Config mode (TwinCAT icon is blue) or RUN mode (TwinCAT
icon is green). The COM interface remains open until a TwinCAT stop occurs (TwinCAT icon is red). It is
then available again for other programs. No error message is issued if the COM interface is used by another
program during a TwinCAT restart (e.g. by the KS2000 configuration software).
Note
AMS Net ID after ADS connection via the fieldbus
If you have addressed the Bus Terminal Controller with an ADS connection via the fieldbus
before the serial ADS was used, the AMS Net ID was automatically changed by the System
Manager. In this case a new serial ADS connection is only possible, if the AMS Net ID is
adjusted.
BX series: reading the AMS Net ID
The current AMS Net ID can be read from the menu via the display of BX series Bus Terminal Controller.
