3.5.1 Configuring a PROFINET Controller on a LAN
Adding the first PROFINET Controller to a project automatically creates a LAN associated with it. For each
subsequent PROFINET Controller that is added to a project, an existing LAN can be selected or a new LAN can
be created. Opening the LAN View shows PROFINET Controllers on their assigned LANs. (To view the LANs in
the project, click Tools in the Machine Edition toolbar, and select LAN View, or right-click.)

A PROFINET Controller can be moved to a different LAN by selecting the module in the Navigator and dragging
it to the target LAN. Here, the PROFINET Controller has been moved from LAN02 (Figure 38 ) to LAN01 (Figure
39):
