Figure 13: Parameters of a Port Configuration - CPU OS up to V7
Name
Explanation
Port
Port number as printed on the housing; per port, only one
configuration may exist.
Range of values: 1...n, depending on the resource
Speed [Mbit/s]
10 Mbit/s: Data rate 10 Mbit/s
100 Mbit/s: Data rate 100 Mbit/s
Autoneg (10/100): Automatic baud rate setting
Standard: Autoneg
Flow Control
Full duplex: Simultaneous communication in both directions
Half duplex: Communication in both directions, but only one
direction at a time
Autoneg: Automatic communication control
Standard: Autoneg
Autoneg also with fixed
values
The
Advertising
function (forwarding the Speed and Flow Control
properties) is also performed if
Speed
and
Flow Control
have fixed
values.
This allows other devices with ports set to
Autoneg
to recognize
the HIMatrix ports' settings.
Limit
Limit the inbound multicast and/or broadcast packets.
Off: No limitation
Broadcast: Limit broadcast packets (128 kbit/s)
Multicast and Broadcast: Limit multicast and broadcast packets
(1024 kbit/s)
Default: Broadcast

Click
Apply
to adopt the parameters in the communication system's configuration. The
parameters set in the properties of the communication system and Ethernet switch
(configuration) become operative for the HIMatrix communication, once they have been re-
compiled with the user program and transferred to the controller.
The properties of the communication system and Ethernet switch can also be changed online
using the Control Panel. These settings become operative immediately, but they are not
adopted by the user program.
7.8.2
System Signals of safe
ethernet
Communication
The user program can use system signals to read the status of the safe
ethernet
communication
(peer-to-peer communication) and of some time parameters. It can control peer-to-peer
communication via the
Connection Control
system parameter.
