Settings

1

At this point you can configure the network settings for PROFINET. By default, values for IP address, subnet and gateway are already entered, but you can change these.

Press the Set IP settings button to apply your changes.

The selection of the address range need not correspond to the network card settings. The PROFINET communication spreads its own net, which can be selected here. If you change the subnet or gateway, the settings are also applied to configured devices.

2

At this point you can set the name for the PROFINET controller. A name is entered by default.

Press the Set System name button to apply your changes.

3

At this point you can read the VendorID and DeviceID of the controller. You can also set the server and client UDP ports here. However, the default settings are adequate in most cases.

4

If you activate this option, a new PROFINET controller is automatically assigned the name of the previous controller when a device is replaced.

This allows you to easily replace a PROFINET controller in the event of a fault.
