NETLink PRO ETH
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 is in Rack 0 on
Slot. Because rack/slot mode we are going to use, WinCC does not have to
announce the CPU address. Instead, the real values for rack and slot are
specified, in this case rack 0 and slot 2.
Please note that the destination address, 49 in this case, must now be
announced to the NETLink PRO ETH via the Web interface.
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…’
.
In the properties window of the variable, which was named
‘MB0_over_NETLink_PRO’
in this case, we can now select the type of
variable by clicking the
‘Select’
button.
Marker byte 0 is configured here.
!
Remember to
parameterize the
NETLink PRO.
