About this Manual
The “Basic Configuration” user manual contains the information you need to
start operating the device. It takes you step by step from the first startup
operation through to the basic settings for operation in your environment.
The following thematic sequence has proven itself in practice:
XSet up device access for operation by entering the IP parameters
XCheck the status of the software and update it if necessary
XIf a configuration already exists, load/store it
XConfigure the ports
XSet up protection from unauthorized access
XOptimize the data transmission with network load control
XSynchronize system time in the network
XFunction diagnosis
XStore the newly created configuration to nonvolatile memory
The “Installation” user manual contains a device description, safety
instructions, a description of the display, and the other information that you
need to install the device.
The “Redundancy Configuration” user manual contains the information you
need to select a suitable redundancy procedure and configure that
procedure.
The “Industry Protocols” user manual describes how the device is connected
by means of a communication protocol commonly used in the industry, such
as EtherNet/IP and PROFINET IO.
The "Web-based Interface" reference manual contains detailed information
on using the Web interface to operate the individual functions of the device.
