Configuration with SYCON.net
The netHOST device is configured with the Windows configuration software
SYCON.net. The configuration is transferred to the netHOST device via
LAN connection and TCP/IP protocol (primary network, in case of netHOST
devices for Fieldbus systems connected to the X2 interface, in case of
netHOST devices for RTE systems to the X3 interface).
SYCON.net allows you to create a configuration “offline”, without any
immediate connection to the target device (i. e. the netHOST). Only for the
subsequent download of the configuration into the device, you need a
physical LAN connection.
The SYCON.net configuration consists of the IP address and the fieldbus or
Real-Time Ethernet configuration. The device stores this data remanently, i.
e. the data is being kept after power off or device reset.
After updating the firmware of the netHOST device with SYCON.net, the
device loses its configuration and its IP address. The device then answers
with its default IP address
0.0.0.0
again.
Detailed information about configuration, diagnosis, testing and
firmware update can be found in the operating instruction manual
