8 Starting up the device – Basic configuration
As a rule, the BPS is configured via the PROFINET interface.
Parameter changes for test purposes and extended configurations for the time behavior for the position and
speed measurements can be performed via the webConfig tool (see chapter 9 "Starting up the device –
webConfig tool").
NOTICE
Observe for the configuration of PROFINET devices!
Ä Always perform the basic configuration using the Generic Station Description Markup Lan-
guage (GSDML) file.
Download the appropriate file from the Internet.
In process operation, only the parameters in the PROFINET modules set via the GSDML file
(or via the webConfig-Tool (HOME > INSTALLATION > GSDML-file)) or the PROFINET de-
fault presets are in effect. Parameter changes made via the webConfig tool (see chapter 9
"Starting up the device – webConfig tool") have no effect in PROFINET.
If you switch the BPS to the Service operating mode via the webConfig tool, the BPS is dis-
connected from the PROFINET. All parameters set via the GSDML file initially remain in ef-
fect. Parameter changes can now be made via the webConfig tool for test purposes.
Settings configured with the webConfig tool are overwritten by the PROFINET master with
the settings made via the GSDML file upon connection to PROFINET or after deactivation of
the Service operating mode.
Ä Configuration data is saved in the device and in the connection hood.
8.1 Configuring the PROFINET interface
The BPS is designed as a PROFINET-RT device (Real Time; acc. to IEEE802.3). It supports a transmis-
sion rate of up to 100Mbit/s (100BaseTX/FX), full duplex, as well as auto-negotiation and auto-crossover.
• The functionality of the BPS is defined via parameters which are organized in modules. The modules
are part of the Generic Station Description Markup Language (GSDML) file.
• Each BPS has a unique MAC address (Media Access Control) that is specified on the name plate. The
MAC address (MAC-ID) is linked to an IPaddress during the course of configuration.
• The Simatic Manager for creation of PROFINET networks links the IP address to a freely selectable de-
vice name which may only exist once in the network.
Address Link Label
The "Address Link Label" is an additional stick-on label that is affixed to the device.

Fig.8.1: Example of an "Address Link Label"; the device type varies depending on the series
• The "Address Link Label" contains the MAC address (Media Access Control address) of the device and
makes it possible to enter the IP address and the device name manually.
The area of the "Address Link Label" on which the MAC address is printed can be separated from the
remainder of the stick-on label if necessary using the perforation.
• The "Address Link Label" can be removed from the device and affixed in the installation and layout dia-
grams to designate the device.
• Once it is affixed in the documents, the "Address Link Label" establishes a unique reference between
the mounting location, the MAC address or the device, and the associated control program.
There is no need for time-consuming searching, reading, and manually writing down of the MAC ad-
dresses of every device that is installed in the system.
