1.6.9 Parameterization SW Tool MNavigate
The Microsoft Windows based software
appli
cation MNavigate can be used to para-
meterize MNS iS from a convenient location
outside the switch room environment. The PC is
connected via Ethernet network topology to the
MLink devices in this network.
Capabilities:
User settings/ Access control
Parameterization, Configuration and
Download
Diagnostic function

1.6.10 Communication Details
The communication between MLin
k and the
MControl devices internally is a RS485 peer-to-
peer communication (max 10MBps) with a deter-
ministic Master-Slave protocol.
Up to 60 MControl devices can be connected to
one MLink. The wiring between all MControl and
MLink Motor Operation via Human Machine
Interface (Web Interfac
e) is built-in inside the
swit
chboard, no additional wiring is required.
Multiple MLink can communicate via fieldbus
(Profibus or MODBUS) to the control systems.
The MLink acts as a standard fieldbus slave
device in Master-Slave communication protocols.
As an option, redundancy in communication
systems and fieldbus technology allows data
communication between a PLC or PCS master to
slave devices on two independent
communication links. This may be utilized if a
higher availability of the communication link is
required.
The MLink contains time server / client
functionality as an option to provide accurate
time signal to all MControl. The time stamp of
alarm and events from MControl is distributed to
a higher level Process Control System via the
Ethernet network.
