Configuration via the NETLink PRO driver
Once a NETLink PRO ETH has been selected in the ‘
Set PG/PC Interface
’
window, it is possible to specify this access path more precisely with the
‘
Properties…’
button.
With the functionality behind the button ‘
Diagnostics...
’, it is possible to
read the bus configuration and scan connected nodes.
The properties of the access path NETLink PRO ETH(xyz) are divided into
three subareas as follows:
•
Local connection (TCP configuration)
Here, you set the IP address via which the required connection with
the programmable controller will be established.
The NETLink PRO ETH hardware can also be parameterized in this
window.
•
Bus settings
Here it is possible to state the bus configuration (e.g. station address)
with which the NETLink PRO ETH will enter the bus system.
•
Options
Here it is possible to change the language of the NETLink PRO
driver and to read out the version information of the driver.
Two functionalities are implemented for diagnostics at the connected bus:
•
Bus members
A list of all active and passive nodes connected to the bus will be
displayed. By request the order numbers (MLFBs) will be displayed
also if this functionality is available by the nodes.
•
Bus parameters
If possible, a list of all available bus parameters will be displayed
