Setting the IP address

Usually the IP address is assigned by the PROFINET controller. By default the EK9300 has no IP address. An IP address is necessary, however, in order to reach the device by ADS. This can be assigned by DHCP (a DHCP server must be present) or a fixed IP address can be used. See chapter DIP switch.

If the PROFINET controller is connected, the IP address assigned by the controller is used for PROFINET communication. The fixed IP address or the one assigned by the DHCP is overwritten.
A further possibility is to communicate with the EK9300 via the IP address assigned by the controller; to do this, however, the device must have been initialized at least once by the PROFINET controller/engineering.
