● In the Gateway box, you have the option of specifying whether data transmission is via a
router.
If a router exists, the IP address of the router is entered in the Address box.
● The Subnet:
This lists all the networks of this type in the project. If the subscriber is not connected, the
row ----Not Networked---- is shown as selected in the subnet list.
–
If the current subscriber is connected, the row of the relevant network is shown as
selected. You can set parameters for the current network with the Properties button.
– If no connection exists, a network connection can be set up using the New button.
– An existing connection can be deleted with the Delete button.
5.6.6 Plausibility check of the network configuration
A plausibility check of the configured network is performed either when the network is stored
with the Save and Compile... function or when the consistency check is started directly from
the Network / Check Consistency menu. The following is reported:
● Subscribers not connected to a any subnet
● Subnets with only one subscriber
● Inconsistent connections, for example due to the wrong WAN protocol
The following is also checked for telecontrol networks:
● Compatibility of the connected modem types with each other
● Compatibility of the connected modem types with the network parameters
The following is checked for dedicated line networks:
● The parameter assignment of a master station for the dedicated line network
The configured version must then be saved with the Network / Save menu to allow other
STEP 7 and SINAUT applications access to the configured data.
Configuration continues by calling the SINAUT configuration tool.
Note
Save and compile only in "subscriber administration"
From the network configuration, not only the Save but also the Save and Compile... function
can be called that generates the system data blocks (SDB) after saving the configuration.
To acquire all the configured parameters of the TD7 software when generating the SDBs
both in new projects or when making modifications to the configuration of existing SINAUT
installations, the generation of SDBs for telecontrol networks should only be performed in the
Subscriber Administration of the SINAUT configuration tool.
