Assembly Installation and assembly have to be carried out according to VDE 0100 / IEC 364. As the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact is an IP30 module it has to be built into a switch cabinet. For secure operating please keep the maximum ambient temperature of 60 °C in mind.
Connection to the PC via RJ45 Ethernet-Interface Put one end of the patch cable into the Ethernet bushing of your ACCON-NetLink-PRO and the other end into a hub or switch which is connected to your PC's network card. You can also directly connect the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact to your PC's network card without a switch.

The ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact's IP address must fit into your network. For this the first three places of the IP address of the PC and the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact have to be equal, e. g. PC: IP address 192.168.4.10, ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact IP address 192.168.4.49 (only valid if subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is used).

• Name: Here you can give the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact a name for a better identification in the search window. This name will be stored in the device. A possible naming would be according to the location (e. g. conveying machinery HG1), user name (e g. Mr. Smith) or something else.
BUS SETTINGS The ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact can be used with three different bus systems: PPI, MPI and PROFIBUS. Configuration example MPI The most important setting in connection with the bus configuration is the station address. This is the address which has the ACCON-NetLink- PRO compact on the bus when going online.

PLC, e. g.: -using S7-200 -older Siemens S7 CPUs -if the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact is the only master at the bus When using the autobaud function the initialization lasts a bit longer because the online parameters have to be determined. It is possible that the autobaud function does not work correctly at slower transmission rates (e.

Configuration example of RFC1006 with STEP7 NetPro In the Network Configuration of STEP7 (NetPro) you can build a virtual S7 PLC as an ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact. On this way you can connect a S7 PLC on MPI or PROFIBUS via Routing. For this the virtual S7 PLC have to be configured with the IP address and the Bus address of the NetLink.

Retry taken from the parametrization of the bus master (normally the CPU). Please keep in mind that a wrong parametrized ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact can interfere with the bus so that a regular operating is not possible any more. Due to this reason the autobaud function is very handy. Thus the correct parameters are used, automatically.

With »Save Configuration« the created mask including all set variables and their descriptions can be stored in the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact. The refresh rate is set to 0.5 seconds. If several stations use this function from the TCP/IP side, then there is always only one connection resource reserved in the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact.
Figure 24: Example of an internet remote maintenance If more than one ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact is used behind a router, you can activate »Internet remote maintenance« at the stations. On this way each station gets its own port address. Furthermore the router should support NAPT (Network Address and Port Address Translation) respectively PAT (Port Address Translation).
