With this menu command, you can establish a connection to a different CP
you want to check without having to quit and restart the diagnostic tool. The
current diagnostic connection is closed.
If you want to use more than one diagnostic connection at the same time,
you can start NCM S7 diagnostics more than once.
You can control the CP as follows:
Stops the CP.
Starts the CP if the RUN/STOP switch is set to RUN.
With certain CP types, for example the CP 443-5 Basic, you can reset the
CP memory. This function must be confirmed before it is executed.
Following this memory reset, the CP retains the preset MAC address and
the retentive parameters. The CP is therefore immediately ready for
downloads using the IP address.
The retentive parameters include:
S
IP address and IP parameters
S
A newly set MAC address
S
LAN settings
With some modules, it is possible to reset to the factory settings. The
function corresponds to a memory reset.
When you reset to the factory settings, the retentive parameters are also
deleted. After this, the module retains only the factory-set MAC address (as
shipped).
Each time you activate this menu command, the displayed diagnostic and
status information is updated once.
Using this menu command, you activate and deactivate the automatic
(cyclic off) updating of the displayed diagnostic and status information.
You can set the interval between update points with the menu command
