12.12.2 Add Device
Symbol:
This command (category Device Communication), for which there is also a button in
the Communication Settings dialog, opens a dialog titled Add Device, where you can
manually define a device to be added to the currently selected gateway entry (Regard
also the Scan network functionality).
Abb. 101 Add Device" dialog
You can specify the device to be added by its name (example:"mynewdevice"), node
address (example: "0104.02F4") or IP address (example "192.168.101.15").
Depending on whether you specify a name or an address, you have to set the
appropriate Assignment mode, that is how the system should process to add the
desired device. In most cases your specification will be unambiguous, so that the
"Automatic" mode will work. The other two modes are only needed, when you have to
precise the type of your entry, because it is not evidently a name or an address.
Example: You want to add a device with hex node address "AFFE". "AFFE" also could be
a target name, so, to make the specification clear, set option "Node Address".
• Automatic: The dialog will automatically search the correct mechanism to find and
add the device to the list.
• Node Address: If this option is selected, an unique node address (example: 02F4")
must be specified. The network then will be checked for the availability of a device
with that address and will add it to the list.
• IP address via UDP: If this option is selected, an unique IP address must be
specified (example: "192.168.101.15"). The network then will be scanned for the
respective device in order to get its node address and to add it to the list. Optionally
the UDP port for the device can be appended (example: "192.168.192.15:1749").
• IP address via TCP: If this option is selected, an unique IP address must be specified
(example: "192.168.101.15"). The network then will be scanned for the respective
device in order to get its node address and to add it to the list. Optionally the TCP
port for the device can be appended (example: "192.168.192.15:1749").
