DHCP
The IF allows a DHCP server to allocate an IP address, a subnet mask and a gateway. If no DHCP
server is in the network then network parameters will be set as defined below.
IP address
This option is activated by default. An IP address can be manually allocated.
Subnet mask
Here a subnet mask can be defined if the default subnet mask is not suitable.
Gateway
Here a gateway address can be allocated if required..
DNS address
Here the addresses of the first and second Domain Name Servers (DNS) can be defined, if needed.
Port
Range: 0...65535, default port:
5025
= Modbus RTU
Reserved ports: 502, 537
Host name
User definable host name (default:
Client
)
Domain
User definable domain (default:
Workgroup
)

Speed / Duplex
Port 1
Manual selection of transmission speed (
10MBit
/
100MBit
) and duplex mode (
full
/
half
). It’s rec-
ommended to use the
Auto
option and only revert to another option if Auto fails.

Port 2
Different Ethernet port settings for 2-port modules are possible, as these include an Ethernet

Parameters & description
Timeouts
TCP keep-alive (internal) / TCP keep-alive (slot)
Activates/deactivates keep-alive network functionality for the internal Ethernet port and for an a
standard Ethernet module (IF-AB-ETHxx), if installed in the slot. The “keep-alive” network packets
are used to keep the socket connection open. As long as keep-alive is valid in the network, the
device will disable the Ethernet timeout. Also see below at
Timeout ETH
.
Timeout USB/RS232
Defines the max. time between two subsequent bytes or blocks of a transferred message. For
more information about the timeout refer to the external programming documentation “Program-
ming ModBus & SCPI”. Default value:
5 ms
, Range: 5...65535
Timeout ETH (internal) / Timeout ETH (slot)
Defines a timeout after which the device would close the socket connection if there was no com
-
mand communication between the controlling unit (PC, PLC etc.) and the device for the adjusted
time. The timeout is ineffective as long as option
TCP keep-alive
is enabled for the particular in-
terface and the keep-alive network service is running. A setting of 0 would deactivate the timeout
permanently. Default value:
5 s
, Range: 0 / 5...65535 (0 = timeout deactivated)
Interface monitoring / Timeout Interface monitoring
Activates/deactivates the interface monitoring (see section
“3.6.3.3. Interface monitoring”).
Default values: off,
5 s
/ Range: 5..65535
Protocols
Communication protocols
Enables or disables SCPI or ModBus communication protocols for the device. The change is im-
mediately effective. Only one of both can be disabled.
ModBus specification compliance
Allows to switch from
Limited
(default setting) to
Full
which makes the device send messages in
ModBus RTU or ModBus TCP format which fully comply to the specification and are compatible to
softwares available on the market. With
Limited
the device would still use the old, partially wrong
message format (see programming guide for details).
