NETLink PRO ETH
39
A click on ‘
Properties
’ takes us to a setting form in which the IP address of
the NETLink PRO ETH and the rack/slot combination of the destination
have to be entered.
In this case, the NETLink PRO ETH has the IP address 192.168.4.49.
The destination CPU with which we want to communicate has the
PROFIBUS address 49. Because addressed mode is to be used, we can read
off the correct value for the rack and slot from the table in Section 10.3.1.
Under this connection we have just configured, we now have to create a
variable. This is done by right-clicking to open the context menu of the new
connection and selecting
‘New variable…’
.
