PROFINET Controller Parameters (Media Redundancy Tab)
By default, a PROFINET Controller is not set up for Media Redundancy. If the system will use Media Redundancy
(see Chapter 6 for more information), open the
Media Redundancy
tab and select either
Client
or
Manager
:
Figure 44: Setting Media Redundancy Parameters
If the PROFINET Controller will be a Media Redundancy Client, click on Ring Port 1 and Ring Port 2 to choose the
module ports and
Domain Name
that will be used.
Figure 45: Setting Media Redundancy Client Parameters
If the PROFINET Controller will be a Media Redundancy Manager, edit the
Ring Port
settings as above. You can
also change the
Default Test Interval
in the range of 10 to 1000ms and the
Test Monitoring Count
(2 to 10). For
the Media Redundancy Manager, the
Domain Name
can be edited by typing over the default name.
Figure 46: Setting Media Redundancy Manager Parameters
Note:
In an MRP ring with a large number of clients, storing a configuration that causes all clients to
reconfigure (for example, changing the
Domain Name
) may generate a large number of
Loss/Addition
of Device
faults. This is expected behavior and all devices should automatically return to operational
status.
Note:
If one of the module ports chosen as a Ring Port is configured as a critical network port, PROFICY
Machine Edition automatically sets the other Ring Port as a critical network port.
