1.3 Operation
You must install the CP1413plus board directly into your PC. The board has 3 interfaces:
1. An interface for the Industrial Ethernet (H1) LAN cable via a transceiver
2. An interface for Industrial Ethernet (H1) using thin-ethernet cable
3. An interface for Industrial Ethernet
(
H1) via an RJ-45-socket for twisted pair cables
The required operating mode is selected automatically.
The CP1413plus communication processor communicates via the Industrial Ethernet and other
IEEE 802.3 compatible cellular networks. NDIS drivers control the exchange of data between the
CP1413plus and the PC. This provides a simple path for expanding the system when other networks
and protocols are required. It is also possible to operate multiple networking protocols in parallel..
You are provided with a simple menu-controlled configuration program to configure connection
parameters and other system related settings, like transport connections and links to the PLC. The
entered parameters are saved into a configuration file.
The module can control up to 256 connections. It is also possible to operate the module with priority
0/1 (datagram, multicast and broadcast), 2/3 and 4.
