3 Multiprotocol
The multiprotocol modules allow you to select different protocols for
communication within a fieldbus system. In this way the multiprotocol
modules can be integrated into different networks without it being necessary
to purchase modules specific for each protocol. This technology also gives
you the option to use the same module in different environments.
Using rotary encoding switches at the bottom of the modules, you can easily
and conveniently set both the protocol and the address of the module, if the
protocol to be used supports this. Once you have made a protocol selection
and started the cyclical communication, the module remembers this setting
and uses the selected protocol from this point on. To use another supported
protocol with this module, perform a factory reset.
For more about general settings, refer to the following sections on how to set
the protocol for EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and EtherCAT or how to perform a
factory reset if necessary.
