The ProfiNet communication will be configured by the EtherX PC software. EtherX can be installed from the
Flintec Product CD-ROM. The EDS file is available on a CD which is supplied together with the instrument.
After the setup of these parameters and the hardware connection as described above, the data interface can
be used as described in Appendix 4.
Important hint:
During the setup the ProfiNet output (weight value and status bits) will not be updated.
