Configuring bus adapters
Configuring bus adapters
If you want to use the Ethernet interface of the LINK, configure the interface as described
above.
If, instead of direct connection of the Ethernet interface you want to use a bus adapter, follow
the steps below:
1.
Find the required bus module in the catalog of HW Config:
PROFINET IO > Gateway > IE/PB Link PN IO > 6GK1 411-5AB10 > V3.0 > "Bus
adapter"
2.
Insert the bus adapter.
If you have already configured a bus adapter but instead want to connect the Ethernet
interface directly select the entry "onboard" from the catalog of the bus adapters.
Replacing bus adapters
If you want to replace a bus adapter already being used in the LINK in your STEP 7 project,
select the bus adapter being used and open the shortcut menu "Replace Object...". In the
window that then opens you can replace the previous module with a new one.
As an alternative you can drag the required bus adapter from the hardware catalog to the
slot for bus modules and confirm the replacement with "OK".
