Tab Bus data

In this tab, you define the properties for the selected bus port that it has within a bus system.

In the Properties (global) processing mode, you edit the properties of all representations of the function jointly; in this case, the tab shows the supplement "(Device)".

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Configuration project:

If this field is empty, the configuration project of the bus port is determined automatically by the associated PLC box (main function). An entry is only required if the configuration project of the bus port is different from the configuration project of the associated PLC box.

The property Configuration project (automatic, at bus ports) (ID 20581) is available in the Bus data tab for displaying. This property outputs the manually entered configuration project or, if it is empty, the configuration project of the associated PLC box (main function) at a bus port.

Physical network: Name:

Enter the name of the physical network to which the bus port is connected. This name must be unique within the configuration project. Only one bus system can exist within a physical network.

Physical network: Bus ID / item number:

Enter the bus ID of the bus port here. Depending on the bus system, the value is a simple number, an IP address or a combination of letters and numbers.

Note:

You have the possibility to enter a further bus ID of the bus port in the Physical network: Bus ID / item number 2 property in the Properties of the network interface group box. The property is used for ASI devices during the PLC data exchange in the AutomationML format.

Bus system:

Select the type of bus system from the drop-down list, for example "PROFIBUS", "Ethernet", "ASI", etc.

Additional information on the selected bus system that is relevant for the behavior during the PLC data exchange is shown in the info area below this field. In the process combinations of the following entries are shown:
