Engineering via the fieldbus interface (X40, X41)

In principle, engineering is possible via the fieldbus interface. Engineering via the fieldbus interface is subject to the following limitations:

  • Speed
  • The fieldbus interface is designed for process data synchronicity and reliability. The fieldbus interface is not optimized for transmission of large amounts of data, such as IEC projects.
  • IP stack
  • The IP stack is part of the IEC project. If an IEC project is loaded without fieldbus stations, a connection to the device via the fieldbus interface is no longer possible.
  • IP address
  • The IP address is specified in the IEC project.
