Basics of assigning parameters for the PG/PC interface

Options for connecting to target systems

If the devices of the project are connected via different subnets, you assign a suitable network access to each PG/PC interface to be able to establish online connections to the target systems. The following interfaces are automatically supported:

  • MPI

  • PROFIBUS

  • Industrial Ethernet (ISO and TCP/IP)

You can make various settings for the interfaces. The following sections explain the parameter settings you can make.

Note

Note that changes to interface parameters have a direct influence on the operating system and the programming device / PC. Remember that some parameter settings can only be changed if you have adequate user rights.
