Checking the IP address of an Ethernet version
Before installing an Ethernet version to the network, make sure the IP address of the device
Type 8619 is not already used by another equipment.
→ If necessary, change the IP address of the device.
• IP ADDRESS: Enter the IP address of the device.
• NETMASK: Enter the netmask of the network used.
• GATEWAY: Enter the gateway address of the network used.
DEVICE NAME: Enter the name of the device (default: "multiCELL"); See section 8.4 Entering text.
If "mode" = "DCP", you can only read the name of the device.
MAC ADDRESS: (read only) Check the MAC address of the device; See section 5.8 Additional markings
(only for an Ethernet version).
ETHERNET UNITS: Choose the units in which the values are sent to the PLC.
UNIT PVN1-10 (PVN11-20): Choose the process variable network.
A PVN (Process Variable Network) is a data sent by a PLC to the device via the Ethernet network.
PVN can be associated to an output, to a function, displayed into the process level or logged on a
memory card. The default value of a PVN (until the first data sent by the PLC) is 0.0.
If the PLC stops to refresh the PVN (or if the Ethernet connection is broken), the PVN keeps its last
valid value.
• UNIT GROUP: Assign a unit to the data coming from the PLC. The following choices are possible:
- ON/OFF: Choose whether the value of the PVN is always ON or always OFF. If the PLC sends
00000000h to the PVN, then the PVN value is set to OFF. If the PLC sends any other value to the PVN,
then the PVN value is set to ON. The following use cases are possible:
- Allow the PLC to directly control a digital output (DOx) of the device. Then, configure the DO
output as an ON/OFF output that uses the PVN (see section 9.26.1).
- Allow the PLC to reset a totaliser. Refer to section 9.23.2.
- Allow the PLC to freeze a totaliser. Refer to section 9.23.3.
- Allow the PLC to participate in a boolean equation. Refer to section 9.15.1.
- Allow the PLC to trigger the "System switch" event. Then, configure the "System switch" event in
mode ON/OFF (see section 9.21).
- NO UNIT: To allow the PLC to send a very high range of values.
- CUSTOM: To enter a customized text for the unit and choose the displayed format of the PVN.
- Selection of units related to the process variables. The following uses cases are possible:
- Configure an arithmetic function that uses the PVN and a PV coming from a measurement sensor
connected to the device. Then, assign the unit of the PV to the PVN. Refer to section 9.14.
- Configure a PID function that uses the PVN and a PV coming from a measurement sensor con-
nected to the device. Then, assign the unit of the PV to the PVN. Refer to section 9.18.
• UNIT SELECTION: If this menu point is proposed, choose the unit of the value coming from the PLC.
• TEXT: If the UNIT GROUP is set to CUSTOM, choose MANUAL ENTRY to enter a customized text or
choose UNIT LIST to select a unit of the list.
• FORMAT: If the UNIT GROUP is set to CUSTOM, choose the displayed format of the process variable
with different accuracies (0 / 0.0 / 0.00 / 0.000).
Choose a customised name for the process variable network; See section 9.10 Renaming a process
variable.
