4.
Network the LINK on the Ethernet and PROFIBUS interface.
If you have not previously created a suitable subnet, you can do this later by selecting the
relevant interface using the shortcut menu.
Result: The LINK has been created in HW Config within the S7 300 station with a basic
module and the two submodules Ethernet and PROFIBUS.
Note
LINK as gateway between an MPI and Ethernet subnet
The LINK can also be selected as a gateway between an MPI subnet and an Ethernet
subnet. To do this, you need to network the PROFIBUS interface of the LINK with the
MPI subnet.
5.
Configure the other properties of the LINK, see sections Setting object properties on the
LINK (Page 54) and Configuring the PROFIBUS interface (Page 55).

Setting object properties on the LINK
Configuring object properties
You can set the further properties of the LINK in HW Config or using the component view in
NetPro.
Open the properties dialog of the LINK by double-clicking or using the shortcut menu.
You can make the following settings in the properties dialog:
●
"General" tab
Here, you can enter the PROFINET device name, the device number and a comment.
●
"Time-of-Day Synchronization" tab
Here, you can activate time-of-day synchronization, set the time forwarding by the LINK
and the direction. As default, this time-of-day synchronization is disabled.
You will find details in the section Time-of-day synchronization (Page 65).
●
"Device Numbers" tab
Here, you can change the device numbers of the connected DP slaves.
●
"Diagnostics" tab
With a connected LINK, you can call up NCM special diagnostics. The
●
"Identification" tab
Here you configure I&M data of the LINK.
