Starting up the device – Basic configuration
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG BPS 348i 60
Device naming
PROFINET defines the "naming of the device" as the creation of a name-based relationship for a
PROFINET device.
Ä Set the device name.
The PROFINET device has a unique MAC address that is part of the factory settings. The MAC ad-
dress may be found on the name plate of the BPS. Multiple BPS devices can be distinguished by the
MAC addresses displayed.
This information is used to assign a unique, plant-specific device name ("NameOfStation") to the device
via the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol (DCP)". Every time the system is started up, PROFINET
uses the DCP protocol for the IP address assignment, provided the IO-device is located in the same
subnet.
Ä Assign the device names to the configured IO devices.
Select the BPS using its MAC address. The unique device name (which must match the name in the
HW Config) is then assigned to the BPS.
Ä Assign the IP address to the MAC address (individual device name).
At this point, assign another IP address (suggested by the control), a subnet mask and, if required, a
router address, and assign this data to the named participant (device name).
From now on, and when programming, only the unique device name (max. 255 characters) is used.
Ä Check device name
After completing the configuration phase, check the device names that have been assigned.
NOTICE
Assign unique device names!
Ä Ensure that the device names are unique and that all participants are located in the same
subnet.
8.4 PROFINET project modules
From the perspective of the device, a distinction is made between interface-specific parameters and inter-
nal parameters:
• Interface-specific parameters
Parameters that can be changed via the interface (see modules described in the following).
• Internal parameters
Parameters that are changed only via a service interface.
They retain their value even after the interface-specific configuration.
NOTICE
Overwriting of data by PLC!
Ä Note that the PLC overwrites the data set via the service interface.
Ä During the interface-specific configuration phase, all interface-specific parameters changed
via the service interface are overwritten. This also applies for the parameters from modules
that were not configured.
Ä During the configuration phase, the BPS receives parameter telegrams from the Controller
(master).
Before the parameter telegrams are evaluated and the respective parameter values are set,
all interface-specific parameters are reset to default values. This ensures that the parame-
ters of modules that are not selected are set to the default values.
NOTICE
Do not activate any universal modules!
Ä If the control makes a so-called "universal module" available, the universal module may not
be activated for the BPS.
