Hi Prassanna Thanks for the reply. I've read trough the information and the following caught my attention: "Since SIMATIC mode is based on SNAP services (i.e. ISO Layer 2 service) and works with MAC addresses, it can only be used with local Ethernet networks. This mode does not work with IP networks via IP routers, i.e. with configured IP subnets." In the ethernet settings of the PN-IO-X5 and PN-IO-X8 modules on the S7-410 PLC, there is no option for inserting the MAC address. This seems to indicate that SIMATIC mode is not possible with the onboard profinet ports on an S7-410. Yet, according to the S7-410 manual, both NTP and SIMATIC mode is possible. Please see attached pictures of my setup. If all else fails, I will have to configure NTP mode, but I would like to avoid it if possible. Kind Regards Rudi AttachmentTimeSync.zip (216 Downloads) |
