5. Use the entry Can bus node address to select a device address.
The device address is stored in code C0530 of the automation system and must match the
device address of the communication channel.
6. Accept the settings with OK. This parameterizes and starts the communication driver
GATEWAY.EXE.
Creating a communication channel via a TCP/ IP network to a remote gateway PC
Access to a remote PC (remote gateway PC) with system bus dongle is possible from the DDS via
a TCP/IP network.
Thus all functions under a direct CAN bus access (such as program download, monitoring, etc.) can
be executed via the network.
For this purpose, the communication channel from the gateway PC to the automation system must
be set up properly at the gateway PC, and the communication driver GATEWAY.EXE must run on the
remote gateway PC (see “Creating a communication channel via the system bus dongle”).
•
A remote change of the communication parameters on the gateway PC via the TCP/IP
network is currently not possible.
•
The IP address of the remote PC in the network must be known to create a connection to a
gateway PC.
Finding out the IP address of the gateway PC
Contact your network administrator for the IP address (or open the program “IPCONFIG” in a DOS
window on the gateway PC).
Creating a channel to the gateway PC via a TCP/ IP network
1. Select Communication parameters and click local.
2. Click Gateway to open the dialog box Communication parameters: Gateway :
3. Enter the IP address of the gateway PC and click OK.
Channels displays the IP address of the gateway PC and Communication parameters the
parameters set on the PC.
•
If “(Not connected)” is displayed behind the IP address, the communication driver
GATEWAY.EXE is not running on the gateway PC. Start the driver from the DDS on the
gateway PC.
Removing a communication channel via a TCP/ IP network to a remote gateway PC
Proceed as follows to remove a connection to a remote gateway PC and return to the local gateway:
1. Select the IP address in Communication parameters under Communication parameters.
2. Click Gateway to open the dialog box Communication parameters: Gateway .
3. Use the input field Address to enter”localhost” and click OK.
Unsuccessful communication setup
An unsuccessful attempt to set up communication with the gateway server on a different PC. The
following aspects must be met for correct communication setup.
•
The tri-colour icon in the lower menu bar shows the active gateway server.
•
Was the correct IP address entered in the dialog box Communication parameters: Gateway ?
•
The local TCP/IP connection must work.
