PROFINET IO Gateway
10.2.2 PROFINET IO conform
In the out-of-the-box configuration, each PROFINET IO field device, e.g. the UE410FEN4 has
a MAC address and a symbolic name stored. The symbolic name for the gateway is
U
E410@EN4.
This name is used by the IO controller (i.e. PLC) to assign the IP address to the field device.
Address assignment is performed in two steps.
1. Assignment of a unique plant specific name to the gateway by using either the network
c
onfiguration tool, e.g. SIEMENS SIMATIC Manager or the Web server.
2. Assignment of the IP address by the IO controller (i.e. PLC) before system boot based on
the plant specific (unique) name.
The UE410FEN4 MAC address is printed on the device type label
(example: 00:06:77:02:00:A7).
Device name set via SIEMENS SIMATIC Manager
Refer to section 10.3.4 “STEP 4 — Assign the device name” on page 127.
Device name set via web server
Open a web browser on a PC in the same network and go to the address of the
UE410FEN.
Click Configure Device Name on the UE410FEN homepage.
Enter the device name.
Click Save.
The device name will now appear next to “Device Name” on the UE410FEN homepage.
The device name format shall apply to the PROFINET standard specification.
10.3 PROFINET configuration of the gateway — how the data
are transferred
The following steps need to be made in order to have the communication between PLC
and gateway configured.
This document does not cover the creation of the PROFINET IO network or the rest of the
automation system project in the network configuration tool. It is assumed the PROFINET
project has already been set up in the configuration program, e.g. SIEMENS SIMATIC
Manager. Examples refer to configurations performed with SIEMENS SIMATIC manager.
10.3.1 STEP 1 — Install the generic station description file (GSD file)
Before the UE410FEN4 can be used as device in the network configuration tool, e.g.
SIEMENS SIMATIC Manager, for the first time, the generic station description of the
gateway must be installed into the hardware catalogue of the tool.
Download the GSD file from www.ue410flexi.com.
Follow the instructions in the online help or in the user manual of the PROFINET
network configuration tool for installing generic station description files.
Using the SIEMENS SIMATIC Manager — HW Config, the gateway then appears in the
hardware catalogue under >>PROFINET IO > Additional Field Devices > Gateway > SICK.
