4.4 Configuration with STEP 7 V5.5

IE/PB LINK PN IO

54 Operating Instructions, 11/2017, C79000-G8976-C393-02

4. Network the LINK on the Ethernet and PROFIBUS interface.

If you have not previously created a suitable subnet, you can do this later by selecting the

relevant interface using the shortcut menu.

Result: The LINK has been created in HW Config within the S7 300 station with a basic

module and the two submodules Ethernet and PROFIBUS.

Note

LINK as gateway between an MPI and Ethernet subnet

The LINK can also be selected as a gateway between an MPI subnet and an Ethernet

subnet. To do this, you need to netwo

rk the PROFIBUS interface of the LINK with the

MPI subnet.

5. Configure the other properties of the LINK, see sections Setting object properties on the

LINK (Page 54) and Configuring the PROFIBUS interface (Page 55).

4.4.4.2

Setting object properties on the LINK

Configuring object properties

You can set the further properties of the LINK in HW Config or using the component view in

NetPro.

Open the properties dialog of the LINK by double-clicking or using the shortcut menu.

You can make the following settings in the properties dialog:

● "General" tab

Here, you can enter the PROFINET device name, the device number and a comment.

● "Time-of-Day Synchronization" tab

Here, you can activate time-of-day synchronization, set the time forwarding by the LINK

and the direction. As default, this time-of-day synchronization is disabled.

You will find details in the section Time-of-day synchronization (Page 65).

● "Device Numbers" tab

Here, you can change the device numbers of the connected DP slaves.

● "Diagnostics" tab

With a connected LINK, you can call up NCM special diagnostics. The

● "Identification" tab

Here you configure I&M data of the LINK.
