<Port Name> Section

For a description of specific ports of modules of the M580 platform, refer to the next sections.

Attribute

Description

Enabled

Clearing the check box (false) disables the port and its services.

If possible, disable a port when it is not used.

NOTE: When the attribute is not present, the port is enabled and cannot be disabled.

Interface

Selecting the check box (true) enables the routing capability of the port and creates an interface subcategory for the port.

Service L2

You can select None or any combination of services from the following:

  • QoS

  • RSTP

The services that are enabled are shown in the box when the list is collapsed.

Redundant Port

Creates a second redundant port with the same configuration.

Port Type

Indicates the type of network that the port supports. For example, a DIO or RIO ring.

For certain devices, you can select the port type from a list.

NOTE: To change the port type of several editable ports at once, select them on the device in a physical view (without selecting the device itself) and change the value of Port Type in the PROPERTIES pane.

BKP Backplane Port Section

Attribute

Description

Enabled

Clearing the check box (false) disables the port and its services.

If possible, disable a port when it is not used.

NOTE: When the attribute is not present, the port is enabled and cannot be disabled.

Baud Rate

100 Mbits/s full duplex.

Read-only.

Interface

Selecting the check box (true) enables the routing capability of the port and creates an interface subcategory for the port.

NOTE: To use the routing capabilities of the communication module, configure the BKP_interface with an IP address that belongs to the device network; that is, the same logical network as the embedded interface of the CPU module.

Port Type

Indicates the type of network that the port supports. For example, a DIO ring.

ETH1 Service Port Section

NOTE: For BMENOS0300 modules, the configuration of the Ethernet ports is performed exclusively by using the rotary switch located on the module. Configuring Service L2 has no impact. For details, refer to the module installation and configuration guide.

Attribute

Description

Enabled

Clearing the check box (false) disables the port and its services.

If possible, disable a port when it is not used.

NOTE: When the attribute is not present, the port is enabled and cannot be disabled.

Baud Rate

Possible values:

  • Auto 10/100 Mbits/s (default)

  • 10 Mbits/s half duplex

  • 10 Mbits/s full duplex

  • 100 Mbits/s half duplex

  • 100 Mbits/s full duplex

The attribute is set to the default value and read-only for CPUs modules.

Service Port Mode

Possible values:

  • Access Mode

  • Mirroring Mode: Enables Mirrored Ports .

  • Extended Network : Creates the ETH1_Interface interface, which you can configure. Applies to BMENOP0300 modules only.

NOTE: For BMENOP0300 modules, setting ETH1 to Access Mode automatically associates the ports that are enabled (for example, BKP or ETH2) to the embedded interface of the module and configures its ETH-1 IP address with that of MainIP.

Setting ETH1 to Mirroring Mode configures its ETH-1 IP address with 0.0.0.0.

Mirrored Ports

The ports that are mirrored are shown in the text field when the list is collapsed.

You can select any combination of ports from the following:

  • Internal: Embedded interface

  • ETH2

  • ETH3

  • BKP: Backplane port

To be selected, a port must be enabled.

Interface

The attribute is available only when Interface of BKP is enabled (if applicable).

Selecting the check box (true) enables the routing capability of the port and creates an interface subcategory for the port.

NOTE: To use the routing capabilities of the port, configure ETH1_interface with an IP address that belongs to the extended network.

Port Type

Indicates the type of network that the port supports. For example, a DIO ring.

ETH2 and ETH3 Device Network Port Sections

NOTE: For BMENOS0300 modules, the configuration of the Ethernet ports is performed exclusively by using the rotary switch located on the module. Configuring Service L2 has no impact. For details, refer to the module installation and configuration guide.

Attribute

Description

Enabled

Clearing the check box (false) disables the port and its services.

The attribute is not available when Interface of BKP is enabled (if applicable).

If possible, disable a port when it is not used.

NOTE: When the attribute is not present, the port is enabled and cannot be disabled.

Baud Rate

Possible values:

  • Auto 10/100 Mbits/s (default)

  • 10 Mbits/s half duplex

  • 10 Mbits/s full duplex

  • 100 Mbits/s half duplex

  • 100 Mbits/s full duplex

The attribute is set to the default value and read-only for CPUs with both DIO and RIO scanner service.

Service L2

You can select None or any combination of services from the following:

  • QoS

  • RSTP

The services that are enabled are shown in the box when the list is collapsed.

NOTE: Some devices support only one service or require that RSTP is enabled.

Port Type

Indicates the type of network that the port supports. For example, a DIO or RIO ring.
NOTE: The values of attributes of both dual ports are cloned.

Control Port Section

The section is available only for BMENUA0100 modules.

Attribute

Description

Enabled

Selecting the check box (true) enables the control port, which becomes the exclusive interface for IPv4 or IPv6 communication to the embedded OPC UA server.

Clearing the check box (false) disables the control port and the backplane port (BKP) supports IPv4 communication to the OPC UA or Edge server.

If possible, disable a port when it is not used.

NOTE: In a redundant PAC, the value of the attribute is cloned for modules in racks A and B.

Port Type

Indicates the type of network that the port supports. For example, a DIO ring.
