Note:
For further information about the controller (item no. 2404267), refer to the respective product documentation:

For further information about the left-alignable Ethernet module (item no. 2403115), refer to the respective product documentation:

The Security Profile must be activated; the left-alignable Ethernet module must be installed.

Connecting and operating elements of the controller

 

 

The controller consists of the following components: 

 

Security seals

In order to prevent manipulation of the device supplied and to detect unauthorized opening of the device, security seals have been applied to the controller.

From production dates Q2/2022 and later, the housing of PLCnext Control AXC F 2152 is protected by a security seal on both sides like shown below. Please check if the seals are placed at the correct location, not damaged or seal parts are remaining on the housing.

Components of the left-alignable Ethernet module

 

The left-alignable Ethernet module consists of the following components: 

 

Assignment of the Ethernet interfaces

The following is an overview of how the Ethernet interfaces are assigned on the various pages in the WBM:

AXC F 2152: X2 TCP/IP (LAN1) - Switched Mode
(see Assigning IP addresses)		 eth0
(see Configuring extended firewall settings)
AXC F 2152: X1 TCP/IP (LAN1) - Switched Mode
(see Assigning IP addresses)		 eth0
(see Configuring extended firewall settings)
AXC F XT ETH 1TX

How to reset the controller 

Reset 1

Resetting the controller to default setting type 1 deletes all settings that you have configured. These include, for example:

  • The PLCnext Engineer project, including all applications that have been programmed in accordance with IEC 61131-3
  • All applications that were programmed using high-level languages
  • The configured bus configuration
  • The network configuration of the controller
  • Changes and extensions that you have made to the operating system or to the firmware

To reset the controller to default setting type 1, proceed as follows:

  • Switch off the supply voltage of the controller.
  • After the LEDs have gone out, press the reset button.
  • Hold the reset button down and switch the supply voltage on.
    The RUN and FAIL LEDs light up.
  • Release the reset button.

The controller is reset to default setting type 1.

Reset 2

Resetting to default setting type 2 resets the controller to the delivery state. This deletes all settings that you have configured.

To reset the controller to default setting type 2, proceed as follows:

  • Switch off the supply voltage of the controller.
  • After the LEDs have gone out, press the reset button.
  • Hold the reset button down and switch the supply voltage on.
    The RUN and FAIL LEDs light up.
  • Press and hold the Reset button down (approx. 30 s) until all LEDs (except the E and D LEDs) light up.
  • Release the reset button.

The controller is reset to default setting type 2.

Netload Limiter configuration

You configure the Netload Limiter on the Netload Limiter page in the WBM (Configuration → Network, Netload Limiter tab).

The Netload Limiter must be configured on the interface of the left-alignable Ethernet module (TCP/IP (EXT LAN 1)).

For further information, refer to the topic Configuring Netload Limiter.

Using PROFINET® 

PROFINET® is always operated on the extension module, while PLCnext Control is responsible for network segmentation. This results in the following architecture:

Accordingly, you need to adjust the firewall configurations (for more information, refer to the firewall basic configurations ):
