3.1 Configuration of the Gateway with the SyCon System Configurator
The loading of new files on to the Gateway or the setting of the IP address of the
Gateway is carried out by means of the tools contained in SyCon.
In order to be able to use the configuration tools in SyCon, it is necessary to lay
down a configuration with a PKV 5 0 Gateway in SyCon. Now the menu entry
PKV50-XXX
(XXX here stands for the selected fieldbus system) appears in the
Tools
menu point. This makes it possible to choose between a serial RS232 con-
nection and a TCP/IP connection.
A crossed RS232 cable is necessary for operation at the serial interface and this
can be obtained from the Company Hilscher (CAB-SRV).
The configuration via TCP/IP can also be carried out via a point to point con-
nection with a crossed cable or, for example, via a Hub with commercial Ethernet
cables.
The Gateway is supplied with a default IP address (see information sheet).
Configuration dialog for the PKV 50-XXX Gateway via TCP/IP
The procedure for the serial configuration or the TCP/IP configuration is basical-
ly the same. First an IP address must be entered into the field provided for it or
the serial interface with which the Gateway is connected must be selected. Then
the
Connect
switch must be activated. If a valid connection to the Gateway has
been established, then the menu entries and the switches for configuration of the
Gateway are released.
In order to ensure communication via TCP/IP, the TCP/IP protocol on the PC
must be configured in such a way that a connection with the default IP address is
possible (see user manual for Windows NT).
