Possible parameter settings for the MPI and PROFIBUS interfaces
The following parameter settings can be made for the MPI and PROFIBUS interfaces:
-
Automatic configuration: You can use automatic detection functions to find out whether a device is connected to the PG/PC interface over PROFIBUS or MPI.
-
Selecting a default configuration for PROFIBUS or MPI that can be adapted later.
Device- and network-related settings for MPI and PROFIBUS
You can set device- and network-related parameters for MPI and PROFIBUS interfaces. Device-related parameters are local settings for the interface. Network-related parameters, on the other hand, must match up on all devices.
MPI interface parameters you can modify
You can adapt the following default parameters for the MPI interface:
Device-related parameters
-
Is only master
-
Own address
-
Timeout
Network-related parameters
-
Highest address
-
Transmission rate
PROFIBUS interface parameters you can modify
You can adapt the following default parameters for the PROFIBUS interface:
Device-related parameters
-
Is only master
-
Own address
-
Timeout
Network-related parameters
-
Highest address
-
Transmission rate
-
Profile
-
Bus parameters
-
Number of masters on bus
-
Number of slaves on bus

Note Behavior when a subnet is assigned If you permanently assign a subnet from the project to the interface, the subnet settings of the project take precedence. In this case, the settings for the respective interface cannot be changed. |
