Call up via Configuration Management > Station > Station
There are four changes in this dialog.
  • Station No. has been extended so that station numbers with 12 digits can now be displayed.
  • The flag VNR Active was added. This flag cannot be edited and is displayed for information purposes only.
  • The access code for the virtual node (VNAC) is displayed directly next to the field Virtual Node ID.
  • The field DPLN Group (tab page Base 1) was added.

Configuring a new station in a system with VNR

  • Using the virtual node assigned as standard
    When configuring a new station, the user does not need to specify a Virtual Node ID. This is an optional input parameter. If the user does not input any information, the virtual node assigned as standard is used for the station in question. The standard node for the relevant system is the virtual node for which the Default Entry checkbox is selected in the "Virtual Nodes (KNDEF)" Window.
    The Virtual node ID is in fact a mandatory parameter that is automatically filled when the user does not input specific information.
  • Using the standard DPLN group of a virtual node
    Standard DPLN group usage is similar to that of the virtual node assigned as standard. A DPLN group must be declared as standard for every virtual node.
    If the user leaves the field for the DPLN group entry empty, this is automatically filled with the value of the standard DPLN group for the selected virtual node.
