Local Device Manager 119/152
6.10.5 OT Interface (Using the cifx0 interface or RTE)
On the OT Interface tab, you can enable or disable the TCP/IP channel of
the cifx0 interface.
Enabling the TCP/IP channel allows you to use the RTE ports (see
positions
(13) and (15) in section Positions of the interfaces [
}
page 14]) as
standard Ethernet TCP/IP interface for acyclic services (“multicasts” are not
supported).
Thus you could e.g. access the
Local Device Manager via the RTE
(“Fieldbus”) interfaces instead of the LAN interfaces of the device. (Note
that in this case, the UPnP service cannot be used for connecting to the
device, because it is not supported by the cifx0 interface.)
Important:
If you want to use a Real-Time Ethernet Docker Container (like e.g.
the
netFIELD App PROFINET Device ), make sure that the RTE
Port TCP/IP Channel option here is disabled .
Note:
Enabling the RTE Port TCP/IP Channel will cause the COM LED of
the Real-Time Ethernet interface (see position (14) in section
Positions of the interfaces [
}
page 14]) to show steady red light.
