Page 75
General information and networking 1.4 Networking Configuration The TCU index and machine control panel address (MCP address) are configured on the PCU. The TCU index is set in the "OP Properties" dialog of the "System Network Center" program. Operating principle If the TCU_SHIFT_LOCK bit is set for switchover disable, a user authorization request is not carried out independently of the mode set on the HMI for allocation of user authorizations (veto mode), i.e., a change of user authorization is rejected.
General information and networking 1.4 Networking ● With an m:n PCU switchover – the PCU is switched to another NCK and, therefore, to another PLC – the PCU takes on the switchover disable settings of that PLC. ● The m:n interlock options on the PLC side have priority over the TCU switchover disable, so that a set TCU switchover disable cannot prevent an m:n switchover.

Page 81
General information and networking 1.4 Networking If the company network offers a low level of administration (in the worst case scenario the network has only one DHCP server that assigns the addresses from a predefined address range) the NCU receives an IP address that is initially unknown.
