Testing for Proper Functioning of the Fieldbus Node
1. Set up a (non-serial) link between the client PC and the controller to test
communication with the controller and correct assignment of the IP ad-
dress. The client PC must be equipped with a network card for this.
2. Call up the DOS prompt window:
Start / Programs / DOS prompt
.
3. Type the command
ping
using the IP address you have assigned, with the
following syntax:
ping
[space]
XXXX . XXXX . XXXX . XXXX

4. When you press the Return key the controller sends a reply to your client
PC that is displayed in the DOS prompt window.
Should the error message "Request timeout" appear, check your input
against the IP address you assigned.
5. If the test is successful, you can close the DOS window. The node is now
ready to communicate.
