IP address

Usually the IP address is specified by the PROFINET controller and therefore does not need to be set in the bus coupler. The bus couplers are addressed via the PROFINET-Name which can be set using various procedures (see DIP switch settings).

In exceptional cases it makes sense to give the bus coupler an IP address in advance (without connecting PROFINET), e.g. to access the couplers via KS2000 Software and Ethernet.
