Application, modes and operating modes
Basic function
The LINK is a gateway that connects the two network types Industrial Ethernet and
PROFIBUS.
The LINK allows access to all PROFIBUS nodes connected to the underlying PROFIBUS
network.
The LINK has the design of the SIMATIC ET 200SP device family.
Modes
You can use the LINK in the following modes:
●
PROFINET IO proxy
●
Standard mode (gateway)
You specify the mode in the configuration. For the "PROFINET IO proxy" mode, you need to
configure the LINK as a PROFINET IO device. This procedure is described in the section
Configuration and operation (Page 45).
Note
Changing the mode with Clear/Reset
If you want to change the configured mode of the LINK, you need to clear/reset the LINK.
Note that this deletes the configuration data, see also the
section Clearing and for resetting
to factory settings
(Page 70).
