The device delivered without loaded firmware and configuration.
It is necessary that a firmware and configuration is loaded into the device
for commissioning.
The device can be configured before or after mounting via the RJ45
Ethernet interface at the bottom of the device. A PC with SYCON.net soft-
ware is necessary for configuration.
For communication from SYCON.net software to the netTAP NT 50 device
via Ethernet, it is necessary to assign an IP address to the netTAP NT 50
device. This is done with the Ethernet Device Setup Software, which is in-
stalled together with SYCON.net software.
Information about this is in the manual „netGateway_DTM_en.pdf" on the
product DVD in the directory „Documentation".
Note: The IP address, which was set with the Ethernet Device Setup
Software, is set permanently. A PROFINET IO Controller may change
this IP address.
1. The configuration can be created and saved offline with or without real
device on a standard PC with the software SYCON.net. The configura-
tion can be downloaded into the device in two steps afterwards
2. The selected firmware and configuration has to be transferred in two
steps via an Ethernet connection into the device.
The configuration is stored in the device in a non-volatile flash memory.
Once set the data will be available after each power cycle.
These steps are described in the operating instruction manual netGate-
way.
So it is possible to transfer the configuration into the device before or after
mounting the device at its place of use.
Information about this is in the manual netGateway DTM OI xx EN.pdf on
the product DVD in the directory „Documentation".
Important: Do not interrupt the communication during the download of
the firmware into the netTAP NT 50 device.
If the communication to the netTAP NT 50 device is interrupted during
download of the firmware, the power supply for the device must not
switch off till the next complete download of the firmware into the device,
because otherwise the functionality of the device is destroyed. Then the
device has to be send back for repair to the manufacturer.
