The <strong>eWON</strong> will connect to the PLC’s MPI interface by means of the eLINKadapter.The eLINK adapter is an interface with an MPI interface on one side and an Ethernet TCP/IP interface on the other side.The eLINK interface will be configured with an IP that the <strong>eWON</strong> will use to poll data. In addition to the IP address, the <strong>eWON</strong> will need the MPIaddress of the PLC on the MPI bus.Using that eLINK interface, it is possible to poll different types of item in the PLC. These items types are described below.5.4.2 SetupFigure 78: NETMPI configuration windowAs for the Modbus and Unite protocols, it is possible to define topics, so that a single configuration can be applied to several Tags.5.4.3 Tag name conventionIO Server configurationIO Server NameNETMPIATopic NameBItem NameCValueName,RemoteStationAddress,eLinkIpAddressValueNamePLC Address is defined Tag by TagTopic PLC Address is usedTable 65: NETMPI - IO server configurationThe Item Name can contain the PLC address where the value is polled, or not.
