How to Configure for PG Operation

Set the required communication parameters.

With your module selected, you can click on “Properties” and then set the communication
parameters. In normal situations, the parameter settings do not need to be modified (for more
detailed information on the parameters, refer to the online help that you can display by clicking
the “Help” button in the Settings dialog).

For more information on certain module types, see below.

When you close the Properties window, you return to the start dialog of the “Set PG/PC
Interface” communication program.

Close the configuration program with the “OK” button.

The module is now set up for PG operation.

Note

Remember that by clicking on a module to make settings, it is possible to change
the assignment. If you have accidentally changed an assignment, make sure you
correct it again.

Setting Communication Parameters - Extra Information

Prior to operation, the following communications parameters must be set:

For PROFIBUS modules (for example CP 5613, CP 5511, CP 5611, CP 5512):

Programming device / PC is the only master on the bus

Address

Transmission rate

Profile (depending on the application: DP for the DP protocol, otherwise the
fast setting “Standard” or the safe setting “Universal“)

For CP 1613 TCP:

The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address in the “Ethernet (MAC)
and IP Addresses” tab

For SOFTNET TCP (for example CP 1512, CP 1612):

The IP address, subnet mask and gateway address must be set. You can do
this directly in the Windows Control Panel in “Network” or here using the
“Network Properties” button in the “TCP/IP Network” tab.

For CP1613 ISO and SoftNet ISO, it is not normally necessary to make any
communication parameter settings.

Please note that you can also use diagnostic functions by clicking the “Diagnostics”
button in the start dialog of “Set PG/PC Interface“.
