Network. In the dialog box that opens, select the type of network through which the objects
are connected:
– Single Port RS485
– Single Serial Port
– TCP/UDP
SIMATIC Manager later identifies the network based on this name.
Set the properties of the interface under "Properties" and confirm your entries with "OK".
The network is inserted in the project.
Note
TAG names
Ensure that the TAG names of the components do not contain a "." (dot) character.
– Automatic reading:
Select the higher-level object. Right-click and select the shortcut menu command Learn.
All data (multiplexers and devices) of the selected object are read out. A dialog box
indicates the progress.
While the addresses (multiplexer, etc.) are being checked, the status of all assigned
addresses changes from "not responding" to "responding". If this does not happen, there
is a connection error, such as incorrect polarity.
Note
Learning process in a HART server project
You can start the learning process on any level.
● When you select a network, you start the learning process for the entire
configuration tree.
● If you select a panel, you start the learning process for the selected partial
configuration, meaning for the instruments below the panel level.
