Flexi Link system: Network settings

The Network settings view is where you can assign the Flexi Link address (A, B, C or
D) to the individual stations in the Flexi Link network. This is a prerequisite for the
configuration because it enables the Flexi Link Designer to address each station and
to identify the bits in the Flexi Link process image, e.g. Station A, EFI1, Byte 0, Bit 0.
The Network settings view is opened automatically if you connect to a Flexi Link
system and the Setting and Monitoring Tool detects an erroneous address assignment,
e.g. if two or more connected stations have the same Flexi Link address. This will be
the case if you have created a Flexi Link system with new CPU modules or if you have
replaced one or more CPU modules in an existing system.
If at least one station of a Flexi Link system is online, all connected stations are shown
with their current address assignment (address A to D). Additionally the memory plug
serial number and the current Flexi Link IDs for EFI1 and EFI2 of each station are
displayed here. You can update this information using the Scan button at the top left
of the window. Error messages and warnings regarding the current system status are
displayed as a pop-up message for each station.
 You have two possibilities to identify a station:
– Click on the Start identify button of one of the displayed stations. The
corresponding station's MS and EFI1 LEDs will start flashing alternating with the
EFI2 LED (2 Hz). You will need the password for Administrator. The default
password is "MELSECWS". To stop the LED blinking, click the button again (it
is now labeled Stop identify).
– Check the serial number on the memory plug and compare it with the serial
number shown in the Setting and Monitoring Tool. The serial number displayed
in the Network settings view is the serial number of the memory plug, not the
serial number of the CPU module.
