DH and DH+ connected to a TCP/IP network
by a Pyramid Integrator
You can use a Pyramid Integrator (PI) with an Ethernet interface to
route requests from a TCP/IP network to either DH or DH+
networks. The PI chassis will contain one RM module with two
network channels and up to four KA modules, each with two network
channels. Using the RM and four KA modules, an RSView32 system
can communicate with programmable controllers on any or all of 10
DH or DH+ networks. The RSView32 system can also bridge from a
DH+ channel to a DH network and back to a DH+ network using
1785–KA modules.
The format of the station address for nodes on remote DH or DH+
networks is:
host_name::PI_port_ID.station_address
host_name is either:
a direct IP (Internet Protocol) address in the form
www.xxx.yyy.zzz where www, xxx, yyy, and zzz are numbers from
000 to 255
an alias for the address. An alias is an alphanumeric string from
one to eight characters. The first character must be a letter and the
name is case–sensitive.
PI_port_ID is the remote network connected to a channel, as follows:
if connected on the RM, type: 0RM:n
where 0 is the PI slot number of the RM and n is the RM channel
number (2 or 3). The RM slot number is always zero, so you can
omit the 0RM and just use the channel number if you wish.
To communicate with programmable controllers connected through
an Ethernet interface, be sure to choose TCP/IP Bridge as the
network type in the Channel editor. IMPORTANT
