    Connections and status indicators on the unit 2.2 Installation The PROmesh P8+F is designed for individual use in control cabinets of various types and can be mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail. Only use the existing top-hat rail fastening for mounting the unit or, if necessary, purchase appropriate spare parts to ensure sufficient electrical contact and the mechanical load capacity of the unit.

    Connections and status indicators on the unit Figure 3: Mounting and dismounting on the top-hat rail Do not mount the PROmesh P8+F switches directly next to devices that generate strong electromagnetic interference fields, e.g. transformers, contactors, frequency converters, etc. Do not mount the PROmesh P8+F switches directly next to heat-generating devices and protect the switch from direct sunlight to avoid unwanted heating.
  • Page 11 Connections and status indicators on the unit The listed labels are also included on the terminal block supplied. A potential-free error relay contact (break contact) is located at the OUT terminals inside the unit. The relay serves as an alarm receiver and can be linked to various alarm triggers in the software. Depending on the configuration, the relay contact then opens, for example, in the event of a power failure or a change in the status of the port.
  • Page 12: Led Displays

    Connections and status indicators on the unit 2.5 LED displays There are four diagnostic LEDs on the front panel of the switch. In addition, each of the 8 data ports has a status LED. The LEDs show the most important diagnostic information about the device and connection status of the PROmesh P8+F in your PROFINET network (see Table 1).
  • Page 13: Network Integration & Commissioning

    Use twisted pair cables of category 5 (Cat 5) or higher with a maximum cable length of up to 100 m to connect your PROmesh P8+F via the existing RJ-45 data ports. To improve the shielding, we recommend the PROFINET RJ45 connectors from Indu-Sol. PROmesh P8+F - User Manual...

  • Page 22: Leakage Current

    Web application Miscellaneous The threshold value, which colours the bar yellow and recommends checking the connection, can be adjusted by the user. It is not recommended to set the threshold below 30 %. In the Alarms menu, alarms can be defined for the line quality value, which send messages via relay, SNMP, PROFINET or e-mail if the value falls below a threshold.
  • Page 23: Network Statistics

    Web application Network statistics The Port Statistics page provides information about the data traffic of the individual ports. This information is useful for diagnostic purposes or in case of network problems. In the main overview of the port statistics, the following information is provided for each port: ...

Here the number of received packets up to 63, 127, 255, 511, 1023, or 1518 bytes in size is recorded. In addition, parcel collisions are recorded and post: ...
  • Page 25: Port Mirroring

    Web application Port Mirroring Port mirroring is a method of simultaneously directing the traffic of one port (source) to a second port (destination) in networks and thus checking it. This means that the received and sent packets of the source port are duplicated to the monitoring port.
  • Page 26 Web application The alarms created can be linked to one or more alarm receivers, these include:  Error relay  SNMP traps  E-mail addresses  PROFINET (only configurable via configuration software) If one of the created alarms is detected and triggered, the software forwards the event to the corresponding alarm receiver and also documents the event as a syslog message.
  • Page 27: Messages

    Web application Add and edit alarm receivers By clicking on the button with the "+" symbol, new alarm receivers can be added. The relay is already present as an alarm receiver and cannot be deleted, but only linked to alarm triggers. In addition to this, the recipients e-mail, SNMP and PROFINET can also be selected.

  • Page 30: Quality Of Service

    Web application  Flow control: Flow control ensures that if a port is overloaded, the received data packets are ignored and the connected device is signalled to stop sending.  Designation: In this column you can give the ports a name. The names are displayed throughout the configuration and facilitate the selection of the correct settings as well as diagnosis in the event of an error.
  • Page 31: Vlan

    Web application (NC,7-high). Assign the COS priorities to the four queues of the switch as you need it in your application.  Type based (TOS): TOS uses a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) data field in the IP header of the packets, which can have up to 64 different priorities. As with COS, you can use these priorities to prioritise, for example, real-time control data, Voice over IP (VoIP) or audio data over normal data transfer.
  • Page 32 Web application  Untagged (configurable in the VLANs tab): Ports that are stored as untagged in a VLAN can receive and forward packets of this VLAN ID. A port can be stored in several VLANs as an untagged port if the devices connected to this port are to communicate with several VLANs. ...
