Now you can open an internet browser (e. g. Mozilla
Firefox) and enter the IP address 192.168.1.1 (for
WLAN) or 192.168.0.1 (for USB-LAN) in the address
line. Next you should see the web interface of the
ProfiNet-WATCHDOG device with a hint window and
an input field
(see picture on the right side)
. On this
page you have to enter the serial number of the device,
which can be found on the bottom or right side of the
device.
After you have entered the serial number the device is
unlocked and can be used normally. To be able to
customize the configuration directly, you will be
redirected to the configuration page
(see picture on the
left)
after entering the serial number. We recommend
that you check and maybe customize the configuration.
As soon as you have saved the configuration via the
“submit configuration” button on the configuration
page, your browser will redirect you to the start page of
the device
(see picture on the right)
.
Analyzing the ProfiNet network:
The ProfiNet-WATCHDOG has the ability to analyze the network traffic on the connected ProfiNet.
First you have to connect the ProfiNet master PLC with a LAN cable to the interface “Master-SPS”
of the ProfiNet-WATCHDOG. Next you can connect the other ProfiNet subscribers with another
cable to the interface “Slaves”. Now your ProfiNet is lead through the ProfiNet-WATCHDOG
without affecting the real time behavior.
For analyzing and monitoring the ProfiNet network you have the menu item “overview” on the web
interface of the device.
An detailed description as well as an explanation of the single web pages can be found in the manual
of this device. The user manual can be found on the product page of our web page under the
download section
