11. Attention As the UDP cannot address a NetLink adapter across a router the NetLink adapter must be in the same ethernet network sub network as the PC that it used for the initial set up of the TCP IP address via the UDP MPI or Profibus The NetLink adapter can be used as an MPI bus station but also in a Profibus DP or FMS network Within existing Profibus networks neither the configuration of the master nor configuration of the slaves has to be adapted In a Profibus DP net it is not necessary to configure the NetLink adapter as an additional slave Only an unused Profibus station address must be available This address must be less or equal the highest Profibus station address HSA configured in this Profibus net While the Profibus parameters are fixed at the MPI bus see table 1 they can vary at the Profibus net depending on the type of protocol DP or FMS and the number of stations on the bus The NetLink adapter must know these Profibus parameters in order to be correctly accepted by the bus when it will be connected The S7B Power Tool configuration program is used to record all these Profibus parameters and to download the parameter set to the NetLink adapter Configuration of the NetLink adapters S7B driver for iFIX FIX32 Page 6 2 3 1 MPI bus parameters In MPI networks the bus parameters are fixed according to the following table Even though it s possible to change the MPI bus parameters they should not be changed in the S7B dr

24. s setup of the TCP IP address is done via ethernet with the help of the User Datagram Protocol UDP The UDP does not need a TCP IP address in order to address the communication partners but only the MAC address Because of the factory defaults the NetLink adapter does not have a TCP IP address yet or the address is 0 0 0 0 and therefore the S7B software cannot access the NetLink adapter via TCP IP Hence the software uses the UDP once to assign a unique TCP IP address for the NetLink adapter The TCP IP address transfered to the NetLink adapter via UDP is only temporarily valid as it is only stored in the internal RAM of the adapter If the NetLink adapter is switched off after it has received a temporary TCP IP address via UDP this address will be lost once the adapter is switched on again The reason for this is that the RAM loses all its information when the power supply is switched off The TCP IP address is only stored permanently once the S7B driver has downloaded the so called DBM file database file into the adapter This file contains in addition to the TCP IP address all other MPI Profibus parameters such as MPI Profibus baud rate highest station address or the station address of the NetLink adapter The DBM file is saved in the adapter s flash memory and is kept even after a power off of the NetLink adapter Once the NetLink adapter can be accessed via a TCP IP address a new TCP IP address can be assigned via the TCP IP protocol
