Preparing the field devices
Connecting the Engineering PC to the Industrial PC
The communication speed with the field devices, when being commissioned, mainly
depends on whether the control is running or stopped. In the latter case, the total
bandwidth of the bus is available for the gateway so that the speed advantage in case of
direct coupling would only be marginal. Thus, the use of the IPC as gateway within the
scope of the control technology should be clearly preferred.
Depending on the standard device and connection type used, detailed
information about establishing a connection and "going online" can be found in
the documentation listed below:
