Setting a communication connection to the PLC
4.10.5.1
Overview
This section describes how to change the IP addresses of controllers in the subnet of the
HMI device and configure the corresponding communication connections via the HMI device.
This gives you the ability to create a project, transfer it to multiple HMI devices and then
adapt the respective controller connections without changing the project.
The following procedure is for adapting a controller connection using the HMI device:
●
Assign IP address and device name, see section
"Specifying the IP address and name server (Page 84)".
●
Assign communication connection, see section
"Setting a communication connection to the PLC (Page 97)".
The following functions are also available:
●
A scan function to list the HMI devices and PLC in the subnet.
●
Filter function for the scan results
●
Check assignment of IP addresses and device names for HMI devices and PLCs.
●
Project IP addresses and device names for HMI devices and PLCs can be restored.
4.10.5.2
Changing the network configuration
You can change the network settings for the LAN connection under "Network&Dial-
Up Connections". You can also configure the properties of the Ethernet ports of the HMI
device.
The transmission mode and the speed of the Ethernet ports are set automatically by default.
You can also set limits for the two Ethernet ports:
●
"End of detection of accessible nodes"
DCP frames for detecting available nodes are not forwarded. Nodes located beyond this
Ethernet port are no longer available.
●
"End of topology discovery"
LLDP frames for topology detection are not forwarded.
Requirement
The Control Panel is open.
