Network Functions and Communication
Communication
Parameter Description
IP settings This parameter is only used for communication in transparent / pass-through mode
via ETHERNET. The transparent mode unit must be connected with a TCP/IP port
for this purpose.
The port number 6004 usually need not be changed. Select the required protocol:
UDP or TCP.
Controller systems This parameter is only used for communication in transparent / pass-through mode
via ETHERNET. The transparent mode unit must be connected with a TCP/IP port
for this purpose.
Define whether you want the transparent / pass-through mode to apply to controller
1 or 2.
Mode Select transparent or pass-through mode as communication type. Refer to the relevant
section for further information on pass-through mode.
Timeout: Enter a time interval in seconds after which the terminal will change from
pass-through mode back to run mode if no pass-through communication has taken
place.
You can use pass-through mode for serial communication as well as for connection via
ETHERNET.
Using the terminal as communication interface (no protocol mode)
The no protocol mode is used for connecting different controllers or for connecting
external devices (e. g. barcode scanners or weighing machines) to the controller. The
controller monitors data transfer to the communication port. The data arriving at the
communication port are stored in registers. Communication takes place by transferring
the data register range that corresponds to the following control block.
Make a right mouse click on [No protocol mode] under [Setup] / [Peripherals].
