A.18 NETNAMES.INI
Overview
In the m:n assignment in file NETNAMES.INI, you define which PCU operator components
(HMI) can be connected with which NCU in the network (powerline) or which TCU can be
switched to which PCU/NCU (solution line).
The following details are specified:
● Name of the operator component
● Name of the NCU
● Communication connections between the NCUs
● Unique assignments for booting
References: Function Manual, Expansion Functions: Several operator panel fronts on
several NCUs, distributed systems (B3)
Proceed as follows
All configuration options are explained in file F:\mmc2\netnames.ini (powerline). It makes
sense to maintain the following sequence when configuring NETNAMES.INI for m:n
communication:
1. Copy the existing file F:\mmc2\netnames.ini to F:\user\netnames.ini.
2. Edit file F:\user\netnames.ini in an editor in the following steps:
3. Save file F:\user\netnames.ini.
Note
The NC writes the channel number of the HMI to DB19.DBB22.
The example below is simplified for 1:1 assignment of HMI : NCU so that conn_2 is
eliminated and all channels are located on NCU_1.

– Define groups (maximum of 24) in "logChanSetList"
– Define the NCUs and the channels with unique names for the groups in "logChanList".
– For the channels, define the NCU names in "logNCName", the channel number in the
NCU in "ChanNum" and keep the softkey free yes/no (using the command IsAGap" =
True/False).
– For the HMI, specify the default machine "DEFAULT_logChanGrp" and the default
channel in "DEFAULT_logChan" for booting.
