Address information (PROFIBUS)
The third area contains the configured PROFIBUS address of the communication module as
well as the configured transmission speed. Note that a change of the PROFIBUS address
only takes effect and thus also displayed as soon as the communication module has been
restarted.
Address information (Ethernet)
The fourth area contains all important address information via which the PC can reach the
communication module. You can assign the IP address and PN device names to the
communication module using "PST" and "STEP 7". Via the link "IP Address" you jump to the
"System" menu item inn which you can also reassign the IP address.
Device clock
With the "Synchronize with PC" button, you can synchronize the device clock with the time in
your operating system.
Note
The device time always corresponds to UTC time
Note that the time of the device clock corresponds to UTC time and cannot be adjusted to
time zones. Clicking the button transfers the local time stored in your operating system to the
communication module. Because the time synchronized with the PC is lost when the power
supply is terminated, we recommend synchronizing the time with an NTP server.
Configuration display
The current configuration is shown to the right of the 5 areas. The schematic diagram
contains information on the connected communication module type and readers.
With the "Flash" check box, you can have the LEDs of the communication module and the
reader connected to it flash. This enables you to quickly and easily identify the connected
devices on sight. Note that this function is not supported by all readers.
