7.6 Network settings
7.6.1 Ethernet
Ethernet
T
his is where you configure the IP settings to enable the device and computer to
communicate via Ethernet.
Reading and transmitting values
If t
he values in the project and the values in the device differ, you can read the values
out from the device and adopt them in the project. Alternatively, you can transmit
values from the project to the device.
7.7 Reading configuration
Overview
A
t the left, you see the values configured in the project for the device. If the device is
connected, you see the values saved in the device at the right.
If the values in the project and the values in the device differ, you can read the values
out from the device and adopt them in the project.
Approach
1.
Click on Read from device.
✓
The values are read from the device and adopted in the project.
Complementary information
Configuration:
•
Name
If a number of devices are used in an application or in a project, a unique device
name he
lps to tell the individual devices apart.
•
Chec
ksums
A checksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the
c
hecksum, it is possible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two
devices have the same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum
in the device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet
transmitted to the device.
7.8 Identification
Overview
On t
he Identification page, you can optionally enter attributes for the device. The attrib‐
utes are used to identify the device or to distinguish between different devices. The
attributes appear in reports and in the diagnostic data.
Device name
If a number of de
vices are used in an application or in a project, a unique device name
helps to tell the individual devices apart.
Project name
T
he project name is used to identify an entire project. The same project name should
be chosen for all devices in the project.
