EcoStruxure Machine Expert, and different tools, such as Diagnostics and Controller Assistant, have a Network Device Identification command interface.
This interface can be used, for example by an HMI that offers a controller setup or for exchange functionalities with the user. The Network Device Identification command-line call can be used in the maintenance and service environment, for example for the HMI integration.
The Network Device Identification command line expands the standard command line of the respective tool. The entry criteria of the command line is Netmanage Command. The commands are not case-sensitive.
A series of Network Device Identification command calls allow you to receive information of the controllers that are connected to the same network such as the PC on which the command-line tool is running.
As a result of this controller scan, an .xml file is created with the controller information.
In addition, you can use the MAC address of the controller to perform further Network Device Identification command-line calls. For example, the function signal (controller signaling) that can be used to find devices in the network through flashes or audio signals.
Furthermore, an additional command-line call allows you to change the communication settings of the controller.
start /b /wait before the command.
Example:
