Ethernet interface: Initialization
Display: Initialization completed
Once initialization of the Ethernet
module has been completed successfully,
the “
” symbol is displayed.
Network module
initialized
If initialization was not successful,
no symbol is displayed. The symbol
provides no information about the
connection status in relation to the
network.
TCP connections:
In the SBI-C/S operating mode, Midrics
always terminates the connection
independently, after 1 second.
In the other operating modes
(SBI-SRV, SMA, XBPI, ModBus/TCP) the
connection is maintained until it is dis-
connected by the PC (client). It is only
possible to establish one connection at
a time.
Ethernet interface: Features
Source IP:
IP address of the Midrics indicator
If the address 0.0.0.0 is selected, you need to enter a name under
“Source name.” In this case, the IP address should be dynamically allocated
by a DHCP server located within the network.
Source name: This parameter is alternative to the “Source IP” input. A name that is up
to 15 characters in length and serves to identify the Midrics can be entered.
In this case, the address 0.0.0.0 must be selected as the source IP. The name
is announced to the domain name service (DNS) if
– an IP address has been entered under DNS IP
or
– an IP address has been allocated over DHCP.
Device port:
Number of the port on which the Midrics listens for server operation.
Subnet mask: IP address mask for the activation of IP addresses in a subnet. If the mask
is to be allocated using a DHCP server, 0.0.0.0 must be entered.
Gateway IP:
IP address of a gateway
Address of desired server located in another network using target IP. If the IP
address is to be allocated dynamically using a DHCP server, 0.0.0.0 must be
entered.
Target IP:
Address of the server that is to receive the Midrics data.
Important for operation of the Midrics as a client if the SBI mode has been
selected in combination with automatic data output. When using UDP,
an IP address must also be entered here.
Target port:
Port number on which a server with the target IP listens in order to receive
data from the Midrics.
Protocol:
Select the transport protocol to be used to transmit data over Ethernet.
Please select either:
– TCP, connection-oriented with high data security
or
– UDP, connectionless (does not effect Modbus/TCP)
Mode:
Select the data format that contains the user data embedded in TCP or UDP
(e.g. SMA is tunnelled over Ethernet using TCP or UDP).
With the SBI-SRV, XBPI and SMA protocols, the Midrics is always to be seen
as a server. Under SBI-C/S, the Midrics is simultaneously a server and a client.
Client mode is activated when the p [Print] button is pressed or the data
output parameter has been set to “automatic”. For the OPC mode, set the
menu code for “SBI server.” In all other instances, the Midrics is a server.
Under ModBus/TCP, the Midrics is always active as a server (also see the field
bus brochure).
Power-on
response:
If the interface module is active, the display of the weight value may be
delayed by up to 20 seconds.
