NETLink PRO ETH
Q: I am getting requested for a password if I try to configure the NETLink
via configuration tool or web interface. But I never configured one.
A: Since version 1.40 the NETLink PRO firmware always has a password. If
no password is given by the user, the firmware sets the passwort to ‘
admin
’.
Q: The setting dialog boxes are not appearing in the Simatic Manager:
A: Please note that after initial installation the NETLink PRO driver must be
added to the PG/PC interfaces.
Make sure you had administrator rights during installation. Reboot your PC
after installation if prompted to do so.
You need at least version 5.1 of the Simatic Manager

Q: When the adapter is plugged onto the PROFIBUS, no online connection
is possible.
A: If possible, use the autobaud functionality.
If this is not possible or not desired, check the timing parameters for the
PROFIBUS in the STEP7 configuration. Enter the read values into the
advanced bus parameter settings via the “
Bus parameters”
button. If on-line
access is still not possible, set a higher “Ttr” (target rotation time) both in the
NETLink PRO ETH and on the CPU.

A: When you request a
"control priority"
for the Micromaster drive, please
increase the Failure monitoring from 20ms to 200ms and the Application
monitoring from 2000ms to 5000ms, so that the Starter software remains
operable.
Q: Every time I execute a certain function, it fails and the red Active LED
flashes.
A: It is an exception in the communication between the PC and the NETLink
PRO ETH. Please contact support and describe how the error can be
i
The default password is
‘admin’.
