chapters.
7.1 Softing NetCon Configuration
The configuration window opens when you start NetCon by selecting Start - (All)
Programs - Softing - NetCon echo - NetCon echo.
NetCon is required to configure the echo devices. The software is used to make basic
settings, create and diagnose connections and display data recorded by the Logger
feature. To configure NetCon for a device, use one of the following methods:
Configuration via TCP/IP
A socket connection to the device is established via TCP/IP. Any entries you make are
transmitted directly to the device and stored there. This method allows you to
configure the device from anywhere within the TCP/IP network.
Configuration via H1
A configuration via H1 is only possible if the H1 protocol driver is installed. An H1
connection is established to the device you want to configure. Any entries you make
are transmitted directly to the station and stored there. This method allows you to
configure the station from anywhere within the H1 network.
Offline configuration
You can create a configuration file offline on the PC and transfer it to the device. This
is not the common way of configuration. It is recommended to configure the device
online until everything works properly. Then, transfer the parameters from the device
to the PC and save them there.
Language selection (buttons)
Use the buttons to select the desired user interface language. After a restart, NetCon
will display all texts in the selected language. Please note that this does not toggle the
texts displayed in the Logger.
