Port number as printed on the housing; per port, only one 
configuration may exist. 
Range of values: 1...n, depending on the resource 
10 Mbit/s: Data rate 10 Mbit/s 
100 Mbit/s: Data rate 100 Mbit/s 
Autoneg (10/100): Automatic baud rate setting 
Standard: Autoneg 
Full duplex: Simultaneous communication in both directions 
Half duplex: Communication in both directions, but only one 
direction at a time  
Autoneg: Automatic communication control 
Standard: Autoneg 
Autoneg also with fixed 
values 
The Advertising function (forwarding the Speed and Flow Control 
properties) is also performed if Speed and Flow Control have 
fixed values. 
This allows other devices with ports set to Autoneg to recognize 
the HIMatrix ports' settings. 
Limit the inbound multicast and/or broadcast packets. 
Off: No limitation 
Broadcast: Limit broadcast packets (128 kbit/s) 
Multicast and Broadcast: Limit multicast and broadcast packets 
(1024 kbit/s) 
Default: Broadcast 
Table 41:  Port Configuration Parameters - CPU OS and Higher 
To modify and enter these parameters in the communication system's configuration, double-
click each table cell. The parameters become operative for HIMatrix communication, once they 
have been re-compiled with the user program and transferred to the controller. 
The properties of the communication system and Ethernet switch can also be changed online 
using the Control Panel. These settings become operative immediately, but they are not 
adopted by the user program. 
Refer to the SILworX communication manual (HI 801 101 E) for more details about configuring 
safeethernet. 
7.6  Configuring Alarms and Events - with CPU 03 
Event Definition 
1.  Define a global variable for each event. Generally use global variables that have already 
been defined for the program. 
2.  Below the resource, create a new Alarms&Events branch, if not existing. 
3.  Define events in the A&E Editor. 
-  Drag global variables into the event window for Boolean or scalar events. 
-  Define the details of the events, see the following tables. 
The events are defined. 
For further information, refer to the SILworX online help.
