Tab: EtherNet/IP Scanner NetX – NetX Configuration

As an alternative to the general EtherNet/IP node, the EtherNet/IP node (NetX) could also be added to the device tree in the case of a NetX fieldbus. The NetX configuration dialog in the device editor of the EtherNet/IP bus is provided for this node for selecting the NetX chip (adapter slot) and the communication channel on this chip. The name of the setting in the dialog and any possible settings which already exist in the list box are defined by the device description.

Table 7. NetX Settings

Slot	Slot to be used. In the case of PCI adapters with a NetX chip, the slot numbers usually correspond to the adapter numbers.
NetX Com Channel	The communication channel to be used on the selected adapter. A NetX adapter can have up to four communication channels to different fieldbuses.
Auto-initialize bus	: The user is prompted whether the bus should be reinitialized on download or reset. A reinitialization interrupts the bus and could lead to unexpected behavior of the machinery.
