(configuration) become operative for the 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.
7.8.2 System Signals of safeethernet Communication
The user program can use system signals to read the status of the safeethernet communication
(peer-to-peer communication) and of some time parameters. It can control peer-to-peer
communication via the Connection Control system parameter.
The following signals are available for safeethernet communication:
Maximum time in ms that may elapse between
the reception of two valid messages
Time in ms that elapsed while waiting for a
response to the last message sent
[UINT]
0 (CLOSED)
1 (TRY_OPEN)
2 (CONNECTED)
CLOSED: No connection
TRY_OPEN: Attempt to establish the
connection (state valid for active and passive
sides)
CONNECTED: The connection is established
(active data exchange and time monitoring).
