7.1
Firmware
With the exception of the
NHST-T100-EN
device
(order no.: 1890.800), all
netHOST devices are delivered with their firmware already loaded. Thus,
you can instantly install, configure and commission the netHOST after
delivery. You will find a short summarizing description about configuration
in the following section, for detailed instructions and examples see the
operating instruction manual
Configuration of LAN controlled master
devices
–
netHOST
.
If you are using the
NHST-T100-EN
device, you first have to download the
firmware featuring the Real-Time Ethernet master protocol (PROFINET IO,
EtherCAT or EtherNet/IP) to the device with the
SYCON.net
configuration
software. Detailed instructions on this can be found in the operating
instruction manual
Configuration of LAN controlled master devices
–
netHOST
. Once you have downloaded the firmware to the
NHST-T100-EN
device, all following configurational steps are same as for the devices with
preloaded firmware as described in the operating instruction manual.
7.2
Configuring the netHOST
Assigning IP address with Ethernet Device Configuration Tool
A netHOST device is delivered without its Fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet
configuration and answers at its LAN interface with the default IP address
0.0.0.0
.
Before the netHOST device can be configured (in case of the
NHST-T100-
EN
, before the firmware can be downloaded to the device), a valid IP
address has to be assigned to the netHOST. Use the
Ethernet Device
Configuration Tool
for this. The IP address of the device must be in the
same sub net as the IP address of the configuration PC, so that it can later
be reached for configuration.
Note, that the IP address assigned by the
Ethernet Device Configuration
Tool
is kept by the netHOST device only until next power-on cycle or
device reset, respectively until a permanent IP address has been
configured and downloaded to the device with SYCON.net.
