2.4 Configuring HMI devices
Introduction
Assign names for the two HMI devices.
Connect the HMI devices to the redundant system as follows:
● Network the HMI devices with an H-CPU in each case.
● Configure two HMI connections.
● Assign the system IP address of a PROFINET interface of the H-CPU or
● Use the device IP address of the respective PROFINET interface of the two H-CPUs
HMI device wizard
Recommendation: Configure the HMI devices with the HMI Device Wizard. The HMI device
wizard will guide you through each dialog step by step and help you set up an HMI device.
The HMI device wizard will automatically start when you create a new HMI device in your
project via the project navigation.
Connection via a device IP address:
When connecting via the device IP address, the HMI device always communicates with the
connected CPU. Communication is independent of the system state. The connected CPU
then synchronizes the data with the other CPU.
Requirements: Each HMI device is connected to a CPU via a separate subnet.
In the example, the TP1900 Comforts communicate in each case via the devices IP address
of the PROFINET interface with the directly connected CPU.
Assigning names for HMI devices
1. Select the left-hand TP1900 Comfort in the network view.
2. Change to the device view.
3. In the properties in the "General" area, assign the name "HMI left".
4. Assign the name "HMI right" for the TP1900 Comfort of the CPU on the right.
