“CONNECTION“ Tab
The “CONNECTION“ tab provides configuration options for the connection to the device.
There are two different parameter types: The IP address and the access data are not used to configure the device itself, but rather allow the WAGO Solution Builder software to establish the connection to a device with 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).
You can enter the MAC address entered manually to use it on the DHCP server for mapping target IPs to the MAC addresses (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 if 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 enabled 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.
