5.6 Network configuration

The most important part of the project handling is the Network Configuration. You can configure a network in two ways:

You adapt the network configuration to the real existing installation,

You configure a planned network without an existing installation and adapt it later. You need only the offline status to do this.

Both ways have their advantages. The chosen way is to decide on your individual situation. Of course it is possible to mix the procedure, e.g. you have some installed devices and you configure other devices that will be installed at a later time.

5.6.1 Objects within the network configuration

The objects within the network configuration are PC, HSE subnet, HSE device, H1 Link and the H1 Device.

5.6.2 Configure PC and Subnet

A new project already contains two preconfigured objects: a Host object representing the PC you are working on and an HSE subnet object representing your Ethernet connection to the HSE subnet. The configured PC and subnet with their IP addresses are shown on the screen after starting a new project. Here you must select the valid IP addresses of the HSE subnet in the context menu. Press the button on the HSE subnet object. A selection dialog appears and shows the IP addresses the PC supports. The PC and the HSE device must be configured in the same subnet area. Please ensure that you select the correct IP addresses.
