PC. Dispensing with separate driver installation and using the “TCP/IP (Au-
to)” option with a PG/PC interface is only possible if the RFC1006 option is
enabled. Instructions on this are available on our website support pages un-
der the heading “RFC1006”. RFC1006 uses TCP Port 102.
Enable RFC1006
You can select to enable the RFC1006 protocol here.
Own station address
If RFC1006 is enabled, assign a unique MPI/DP station address for the rout-
er.
Note:
the connected router will use this station address to log into the MPI/DP
network. This is necessary if you are using RFC1006 communication exclu-
sively. In a mixed operation of connections using network drivers and
RFC1006, the router always logs in using the address assigned to the first
connection used.
Enable RFC1006 routing
This option enables routing via RFC1006.
Station address of the routing gateway
If RFC1006 routing is enabled, you must enter the address of the routing
gateway (14 – see example below)
Note:
to access a slave subscriber station in a subnetwork that is not directly con-
nected, the master gateway must be assigned as the PLC routing gateway
station address on the router.
Example:
The PLC (master) is connected to the router (e.g. address 13) via MPI Bus
(e.g. address 14) and a subscriber station (e.g. address 5) is connected to
the master PROFIBUS (e.g. address 4). To now be able to access the sub-
scriber with address 5 on the PROFIBUS via the router (13) using MPI, rout-
ing needs to be enabled.
More information on installation is available via our Support Portal at
www.connectline.com
MPI/PROFIBUS
baud rate
Select from the following options:
PG/PC Interface Settings, 3Mbit/s, 6Mbit/s and 12Mbit/s
Protocol
Select the protocol for communicating with the connected device.
The following options are available:
TCP and UDP
Port
Enter the port that will be used for communication.
Enable ports
through firewall
Checking this box means that you can access the Internet through the port assigned above,
without being blocked by the firewall.
Redirecting serial interfaces to your PC (VCOM LAN2) 17.3
To make serial interfaces (including MCI/PROFIBUS) available on your PC, you need the VCOM LAN2 software
utility. VCOM LAN2 can be downloaded free of charge from www.mbconnectline.de. VCOM LAN2 installs two
virtual COM interfaces on your client PC. Data is then exchanged over these virtual COMs
