The objective of this service is to provide automatic recovery of remote I/O module parameters or intelligent modules connected to a Transparent Factory Ethernet sub-segment. When exchanging a faulty module with a functioning module.
The objective of this service is to:
-
supply an IP address to a remote station from the Name given to this station (Role Name)
-
give a remote station the capacity to store parameters and also to recover them, if required
This server requires the use of the
DHCP server and the FTP/TFTP server of the TSX ETY 4103/PORT/5103 modules or the Ethernet link of the TSX P57 6634/5634/4634.
The following modules can configure up to 96 devices:
-
TSX ETY 4103
-
TSX ETY 5103
-
ETY PORT
The following coprocessors can configure up to 128 devices:
-
TSX P57 6634
-
TSX P57 5634
-
TSX P57 4634
Service operating principle:
Initially:
-
The valid remote station obtains an IP address from the name that has been given to it (Role Name).
-
The valid station gives its configuration parameters to the server.
Secondly:
This station breaks down. It is replaced with a non-configured device of the same type, which has the same name as the station it replaces:
-
It then transmits a DHCP request to the server.
-
It receives its configuration file, which was saved first on the server.
-
The remote station restarts automatically.
NOTE: The Role Name is limited to 16 characters in ASCII.
