6 Communication via the F 8627X
This chapter describes the F 8627X communication types and the required settings.
ELOP II TCP and MODBUS TCP can be operated in conjunction with any of the exisiting com-
munication types (OPC, HIPRO-S and HIPRO-S-DIRECT).
6.1 Overview
The following tables provide a quick overview of the communication type properties that can
be set for the F 8627X as well as the conditions that must be fulfilled to do so.
Note If the HIPRO-S-DIRECT Mode is activated (see 6.4.4) the HSR-Com-
munication for the MODBUS TCP slave via Port 8896 is deactivated
(no redundancy).

OS version 3.x

Token passing No token passing
No more than 64 safe
ethernet members can be config-
ured in the entire network.
No more than 99 safeethernet
members can be configured in
the entire network.
One PES may have no more than 30 safe
ethernet com-
munication partners.
A PES can have no more than
63 safe
ethernet communication
partners.
Timeout fixed to 16 ms Timeout adjustable
10 ms up to 1480 ms
Switch S1/1-5
Communication between each PES and any other PES
(HIPRO-S dummies might be required)
Not required
Ethernet network with low load:
Only HIMA PES or HIMA OPC servers
An existing Ethernet network
can be used if the require-
ments
1)
are fullfilled.
1) Requirements for using an existing Ethernet network for the HIMA PES with F 8627X
• Network may only contain switches
• Full-Duplex (no collisions)
• Sufficient bandwidth for transmission
• Calculating the timeout with the delay time induced by active network
components (e.g. switches, gateways) taken into account.
