7.1.3 Station Not Found
The dialog box shows the message A timeout occurred.
If a station cannot be found, this can be due to the following reasons:
OPC server
The server service has stopped.
Configuration via TCP/IP or Configuration via H1
The selected station is switched off.
A network cable is not properly connected or faulty.
A switch, hub, router or gateway is switched off.
The station is connected behind a router and therefore not accessible.
On the operating PC, the protocol to be used for connecting to the station (H1 or
TCP/IP) has not been installed or configured properly.
The H1 or TCP/IP protocol on the remote network station has not been installed
or configured properly.
A station (e.g. a reference router) has disabled the forwarding of the frames.
The firewall has not been configured properly.
NOTE:
Stations connected behind a router cannot be discovered automatically. For these, you
need to define a direct connection using the New button (see Edit Access to a Station in
Your List).
Serial connection
The connection cable is not plugged in.
The pins of the connection cable are not assigned correctly. The connection to
the station only uses three wires: Send data, receive data, signal ground.
The interface adapter installed in your PC is faulty.
The interface of your PC is used by another task.
7.1.4 Offline Configuration
In the Choose a Product dialog box, you can select the device to be configured offline. The dialog
boxes and menus may vary depending on the functionality of the device.
In an offline parameterization of a device, the parameter data is stored in a parameter file on the PC.
The data can later be transferred to the device.
After clicking the Configuration Offline button, the Open File... window opens. Here, you can
either open an existing parameter file or enter a new file name.
After you have entered a new file name, the following dialog box opens: Choose a Product.
Here, select the device to be configured.
Selecting the device closes the dialog and enables you to make further entries.
