4.1.4 Properties and restrictions of PG routing
When using PG routing with the SINAUT Diagnostics and Service tool or the SIMATIC
Manager, certain special features and restrictions to the functions must be kept in mind.
Functions of the SINAUT Diagnostics and Service tool with PG routing
● TIM Message Monitor function
Activating the
TIM message monitor on a remote TIM using PG routing is not possible.
●
Firmware update function
When using the
Firmware update function, remember that large amounts of data are
transferred. With remote modules, long processing times of several minutes can occur.
●
Repair function
The
repair function must not be used over PG routing.
If you use the
repair function, the flash disk of the TIM is formatted and the software
completely deleted on the TIM. Following this, the module is no longer accessible over
the SINAUT network. Reloading the TIM software is then only possible locally over the
MPI bus.
Functions of the SIMATIC Manager with PG routing
● Display Accessible nodes function
The display
Accessible nodes function is available only for subscribers connected to the
local MPI bus. This restriction applies to SIMATIC PG routing and therefore also to
SINAUT PG routing.
●
Hardware diagnostics function
The hardware diagnostics function is available only for subscribers connected to the local
MPI bus. This restriction applies to SIMATIC PG routing and therefore also to SINAUT
PG routing.
