Module 
Designation  Description 
Name  Name of the communication module. 
Use Max. µP Budget for 
HH Protocol 
  Activated: Use CPU load limit from the field Max. µP Budget 
for HH Protocol [%]. 
  Deactivated: Do not use the CPU Load limit for safeethernet. 
Max. µP Budget for HH 
Protocol [%] 
Maximum CPU load of module that can be used for processing 
the safeethernet protocols. 
i 
The maximum load must be distributed among all the 
implemented protocols that use this communication 
module. 
 
IP Address  IP address of the Ethernet interface. 
Subnet Mask 
32 bit address mask to split up the IP address in network and 
host address. 
Standard interface 
Activated: the interface is used as standard interface for the 
system login. 
Default setting: Deactivated 
Default Gateway  IP address of the default gateway. 
ARP Aging Time [s] 
A processor or COM module stores the MAC addresses of the 
communication partners in a MAC/IP address assignment table 
(ARP cache). 
If in a period of 1x....2x ARP Aging Time ... 
  ... messages of the communication are received, the MAC 
address remains stored in the ARP cache. 
  ... no messages of the communication partner are received, 
the MAC address is erased from the ARP cache. 
 
The typical value for the ARP Aging Time in a local network 
ranges from 5...300 s. 
The user cannot read the contents of the ARP cache. 
 
Range of values: 1...3600 s 
Default value: 60 s 
 
Note: 
If routers or gateways are used, the user must adjust (increase) 
the ARP Aging Time due to the additional time required for two-
way transmission. 
If the ARP Aging Time is too low, the MAC address of the 
communication partner is erased from the ARP cache, the 
communication is delayed or interrupted. For an efficient 
performance, the ARP aging time value must be less than the 
receive timeout set for the protocols in use.
