Notes!
Separate tool tip helps are available for some settings.
A “Routing” command for a “Programming PC” is issued for
“Computer name” in the tool-tips (mouse pointer on the appropriate
input field). Depending on the Home network configuration, additional
settings may be required.
"F2" can be used to load the default IP configuration (delivery
condition) or "F3" can be used to load the current IP configuration into
the input masks ("IP configuration")
Hotkey "F5" is used to support the proposed IP address scheme (see
above); "F5" automatically takes the last number of the host IP address
(e.g. 212) for assigning the host IP #2 or the target IP address
Deactivates the gateway, DNS, and WINS settings. This can be used to
shorten the time until PLC-start, for example, if no network cable was
connected from the Ethernet interface of the XCI 600 to the LAN.
Background:
In Windows it is not possible to distinguish whether or not the controller is
actually connected to the Home network (with access to DNS, WINS
etc.). To avoid conflicts ("
Race Conditions
") when starting the network
stack and the real-time operating system, there is a delay until the
network is completely ready for operation or the corresponding network
time-outs have expired. However, if there is no network connected, these
rather long waiting times in practice are unnecessary.
By default, the EMF on the system is enabled, i.e. all changes to the
system partition are lost after a restart.
To permanently apply the changed settings a "Commit Changes" order is
issued automatically.
When the Reboot checkbox has been activated, the restart is performed
automatically.
However, all changes only become active by restarting the controller (i.e.
after the regular shutdown of Windows).
