PROFINET IO Controller - NetX Configuration
Object: PROFINET IO controller
As an alternative to the general PROFINET IO node, you can add the PROFINET IO node (NetX) to the device tree in the case of a NetX fieldbus. The NetX configuration dialog in the device editor is provided for this node for selecting the NetX chip (adapter slot) and the communication channel on this chip. The name of the setting in the dialog and any possible settings that already exist in the drop-down list are defined by the device description.
|
Slot |
Used slot: For PCI adapters with a NetX chip, the slot numbers are typically the same as the adapter numbers. |
|
NetX Com Channel |
Used communication channel on the selected adapter: A NetX adapter can have up to four communication channels to different fieldbuses. |

Automatic Bus Initialization |
|
: The user is prompted whether the bus should be reinitialized on download or reset. A reinitialization interrupts the bus and can lead to unexpected behavior of the machine.
