NETLink PRO ETH
35
If the RFC1006 functionality is activated, the options described below must
be taken into account and parameterized as required and desired.
If RFC1006 functionality is deactivated, the following parameters will have
no influence on the functioning of the NETLink PRO ETH. However, if an
attempt is made to communicate with the NETLink PRO ETH via RFC1006,
the service will be denied.
After the configuration has been saved and the NETLink PRO ETH has been
rebooted, the current settings will be shown clearly and easily on the status
page of the Web interface.
8.1.1
Autobaud ON/OFF
With the option
‘Bus autobaud ON/OFF’
, you preset whether after a power
cycle the NETLink PRO ETH will search for the bus parameters with which
it will then go online or whether the stored bus parameters will be used (see
Section 8.1.3 ).
The possible options are:
•
ON:
The NETLink PRO ETH attempts to determine
the correct bus parameters and goes onto the bus
with them.
•
OFF:
The NETLink PRO ETH goes onto the bus with the
parameters that are stated under
‘Stored bus parameters’
.
8.1.2
Own (local) station address
The
‘Own station address’
option indicates the bus address with which the
NETLink PRO ETH will log on to the bus.
The value for the station address must have any value in the range 0 through
126. The only precondition for this is that the selected address is not larger
than the HAS (highest station address) and is not already being used for
another device on the same bus.
8.1.3
Storage of specified bus parameters
If the
‘Bus autobaud ON/OFF’
option has been deactivated (OFF), the
parameter fields of the subitem
‘Stored bus parameters’
must be configured
carefully.
When parameterizing, please note that all parameters for PROFIBUS are
interdependent. That is, if a parameter, e.g. the baudrate, is changed, all the
other parameters usually also change.
For MPI, on the other hand, all parameters besides the baudrate are fixed.
That is, if an MPI connection of increased from, say, from 187.5 Kbps to
12000 Kbps, all other parameters can/must remain unchanged.
The following parameters must be taken into account:
•
Baudrate:
The required baudrate is entered in Kbps.
That is, for example, ‘
187.5’
or
‘12000’
.
The possible values are:
9.6; 19.2; 45.45; 93.75; 187.5; 500;
1500; 3000; 6000, and 12000.
•
HSA
The highest station address is entered
here. For MPI generally
‘31’
i
Rebooting can take up to
15 seconds.
