Tab “NetX Configuration”dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

This tab is only displayed if Ethernet communication modules (e. g. CI50x-PNIO) based on the highly integrated netX100 microcontroller is used.

As an alternative to the general EtherNet/IP node in case of a NetX field bus the EtherNet/IP node (NetX) can be added to the device tree. This node provides the additional NetX configuration dialog to select the NetX chip (slot for the card) and the communication channel of this chip. The name of the setting used in the dialog and the possible settings provided by the selection lists are defined by the device description.

Table 715: NetX settings

Slot

Slot to be used. In case of PCI cards with NetX chip, the slot numbers usually correspond to the PCI card numbers.

NetX Com channel

Channel on the card to be used for the communication. A NetX board may have up to four communication channels for different fieldbuses.

Auto-initialize bus

_cds_icon_option_activated The user is asked to determine if the bus should be reinitialized when downloading or when resetting the application. A new initialization will interrupt the bus and may lead to unwanted behavior of the machine.
