“CONNECTION“ Tab
The “CONNECTION“ tab provides configuration options for the connection to the device.
A distinction is drawn here between two different types of parameters: The IP address and the access data are not used for configuration of the device itself, but rather enable the WAGO Solution Builder to establish a connection to a device using these parameters. The IP address entered here is also applied automatically when the controller is switched from DHCP to static IP via the controller settings in the “CONTROLLER“ tab (see 8 “CONTROLLER“ Tab).
The MAC address can be entered manually to use on the DHCP server for mapping of target IPs to the MAC address (see 8 “DHCP“ Tab). The MAC address is assigned automatically when controllers are added to the entity tree using “Scan“ (8 “SCAN / IMPORT“ Tab). Access data must then only be entered manually when it differs from the factory settings.
The settings for BACnet are entered here as the target configuration for the device. The BACnet-BBMD functionality can also be activated and configured for the device.
Note
Changes to parameters are transmitted directly to the WAGO Device Communication Service
Any changes made to parameters in the “CONNECTION”tab are communicated directly and at once to the WAGO Device Communication Service. You do not have to change between the „offline/online“status in the connection area to refresh the changes!
This tab appears only when the “Controller“ entity is selected.
