In order to integrate the MultiControl into an automation system, bus parameters may also need to be modified. This
includes the setting for the bus type used as well as addressing.
The MultiControl supports the following bus types:
• PROFINET I/O device – Conformance Class B, Netload Class 1
• EtherNet/IP slave
• EtherCAT slave
The following parameters can be modified in order to address the MultiControl:
• IP address and subnet mask
• Gateway
• Host name: When using the MultiControl with PROFINET, the unique PROFINET name of the MultiControl must be
entered here
• Domain name plus DNS server 1 and 2
• Configuration mode of the address:
Static: The IP address is assigned by the user
I/O controller: The IP address is assigned by the PLC (input field is greyed out)
To avoid communication problems in the bus system, we recommend changing the standard IP address
192.168.0.1.
Depending on the system configuration, in PROFINET projects we recommend manually increasing the
update time of the MultiControl (automatic 2 ms) to half the CPU cycle time or at least 8 ms.
