5.23.2. Multi Level Network Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

It is possible to configure multi level networks. In all network nodes however, the node numbers must have the same graduation. You are able to deny connections level individual.

Example 1

You can configure in one or in all network nodes, that e.g. connections between Level 2 domain 1 and 2 are to be denied:
CHANGE-KNMAT:LEVEL=2,ONNO=1,DNNO=2,CONN=D;
IMPORTANT:
Note that Node numbers / Sub-domains (Level 0 / 1) are not unique within the network. if the network numbering scheme comprises higher levels than the specified one.

Example 2

CHANGE-KNMAT:LEVEL=1,ONNO=10,DNNO=20,CONN=D;
Since the levels are handled seperately, this command prevents all connections between 1-10-xxx and 1-20-xxx, but also between 1-10-xxx and 2-20-xxx (xxx means any Level 0 node number).
The anolog handling will occur if you use level 0 node numbers in KNMAT which are defined within several sub-domains / domains, i.e. which are not unique.
For denying connections between node numbers in level 0, see Single Level Network.
