Description
The page contains the following boxes:
●
Enable iPCF-MC activated
Enable or disable the iPCF-MC mode of the SCALANCE W700 device.
For PROFINET communication, we recommend enabling the iPCF-MC mode. By
enabling iPCF-MC, the data rates provided by the access point are adapted.
We strongly recommend that you retain the default setting for the data rates (802.11 a/b/g
= 6, 9 and 12 Mbps and 802.11n = MCS 2).
●
Legacy Free (iPCF-MC-LF)
These settings determine which device generation can establish a connection to this
device.
–
Enabled
Only the devices that communicate with the IEEE 802.11n standard and have the
"Legacy Free (iPCF-MC-LF)" setting enabled are accepted. WLAN mode
IEEE 802.11n need not be enabled for this, however.
This setting prevents performance from being slowed down by the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g
device generation.
–
Disabled
All device generations (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n) are accepted.
●
iPCF Cycle Time (only in access point mode)
Select the update time configured for the network to which the access point is connected.
The lowest value for the update time is 32 ms.
●
Protocol Support (only in access point mode)
Specify which protocol is handled with priority.
–
PROFINET
if you set PROFINET, there must be no PROFINET controller downstream from the
client.
–
EtherNet/IP
If you set Ethernet/IP, there must be no scanner downstream from the client.
