Problems can arise if a control is connected to an IP network, which contains
modules that do not contain a SIGMATEK operating system. With such de-
vices, Ethernet packets could be sent to the control with such a high fre-
quency (i.e. broadcasts), that the high interrupt load could cause a real-time
runtime error or runtime error. By configuring the packet filter (Firewall or
Router) accordingly however, it is possible to connect a network with
SIGMATEK hardware to a third-party network without triggering the error
mentioned above.
10.2 WLAN Channels and Settings
The WLAN channels supported by the hardware and the settings can be found in the docu-
ment “WLAN Configuration” Only the channels and settings specified therein can be used.
The information contained in “WLAN Configuration” does not release the user
from their obligation to observer national standards and laws, as well as spe-
cial regional regulations.
10.3 Configuration
The base station can be configured in LASAL via the USB-C interface, Ethernet or WLAN.
10.4 Testing the Operating Area
NEVER operate the panel without antennae. This can result in damage to
the device.
The actual time-out configured in the SCP must be included in your risk as-
sessment!
CAUTION
Test the function in the operating area. Ensure the operating panel can con-
trol the machine throughout the entire operating area. Perform this test using
an HGW.
