6.16.4 VLT® Servo Toolbox Communication

6.16.4.1 Overview

This chapter describes the Ethernet-specific network interface settings needed by the VLT
communication methods: direct communication and indirect communication. Their particular network settings are described in the
respective sections.
Read and perform the steps with care. Incorrect network configurations can lead to loss of connectivity of a network interface.

6.16.4.2 Firewall

Depending on the firewall settings and the fieldbus used, the messages sent and received by the VLT
®
by the firewall on the VLT Servo Toolbox host system. This may lead to a loss of communication and the inability to communicate with
the devices on the fieldbus. Therefore, ensure that the VLT
Servo Toolbox host system. Inappropriate changes to firewall settings may lead to security issues.

6.16.4.3 Indirect Communication

6.16.4.3.1 Overview
Communication between MSD 510 devices and the VLT
based fieldbus communication (marked A in the graphic) takes place between the PLC and the MSD 510 devices. However there is
non-fieldbus communication between the PLC and the VLT
In the scenario in the graphic, the PLC has the master function and uses cyclic communication with the devices. Therefore, not all
®
functionalities of the VLT Servo Toolbox, for example the drive control, can be used.
The restrictions when using indirect communication are detailed in the VLT
Programming Guide.
