The IP address and mask of the XCA controller in the Home
network
(the alias name vxHost is defined in file
c:\windows\system32\etc\host for this purpose)
IP address of the default gateway in the Home network.
IP address of the default DNS in the Home network.
IP address of the default WINS in the Home network.
IP address and mask of the "R
tOS virtual network” of the XCA
controller
IP address and mask of the RtOS virtual network of the
XCI controller (VxWorks page) (the alias name vxTarget is defined in
file c:\windows\system32\etc\host for this purpose)
The "computer name" must be unique across the network and may
be assigned only once (e.g. IPC13-212).
The computer name currently being used is shown in brackets.
To change the name of the computer it is necessary to restart the
controller.
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).
