AXC F 3152
There are different Ethernet and firewall configurations due to three Ethernet interfaces.
Connecting and operating elements
The controller consists of the following components:
1 | Bus base module |
2 | Diagnostic and status indicators |
3 | Electronics module |
4 | Reset button |
5 | SD card holder |
6 | Mode selector switch |
7 | Service interface (X4) |
8 | Ethernet interfaces (X1, X2, X3) |
9 | Supply connector (connector for connecting the supply voltage (communications voltage UL)) |
Assignment of the Ethernet interfaces
The following is an overview of how the Ethernet interfaces are assigned on the various pages in the WBM:
Ethernet interface hardware | Ethernet interface WBM - Network page | Ethernet interfaces WBM - Firewall page |
X1 | TCP/IP (LAN1) | LAN1 |
X2 | TCP/IP (LAN2) | LAN2 |
X3 | TCP/IP (LAN3) | LAN3 |
Mode selector switch
The mode selector switch is used to define the operating state of the controller.
There are three operating modes: The RUN/PROG and STOP positions have a latching function and the MRESET position has a push-button function. After releasing the switch in the MRESET position, it returns to the STOP position.
For further information on the mode selector switch, refer to the user manual about all AXC F x152 controller devices.
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 activated on the interface x1 (LAN 1).
For further information, refer to the topic Configuring Netload Limiter.
Using PROFINET®
The controller consists of these communication paths:
1 | 3 x Ethernet | X1/X2/X3: 10/100/1000 BASE-T(X) |
X2: PROFINET® controller interface | ||
X3: PROFINET® device interface | ||
2 | Service interface | No function at present |
Activating PROFINET®
After you have performed a threat analysis and implemented appropriate protective measures from the security context, you can activate PROFINET®.
For information on how to activate PROFINET®, refer to the topic Activating PROFINET in this PLCnext Security Info Center.
For further information on PROFINET® in the WBM, refer to the PROFINET diagnostics topic in the main PLCnext Info Center.
