Siemens CPU 1512SP-1 PN User Manual

Assignment of the MAC addresses
The MAC address is a globally unique device identifier that is assigned to each PROFINET
device in the factory. Its 6bytes are divided into 3 bytes for the manufacturer ID and 3 bytes
for the device ID (serial number). The front of the CPU1512SP‑1PN is lasered with the MAC
address of the PROFINET interface.
The PROFINET interface (X1) of the CPU1512SP‑1PN has three ports. Port 3 is located on the
CPU. Ports 1 and 2 are located on the optional BusAdapter. In addition to the PROFINET
interface, each PROFINET port also has a separate MAC address. There is therefore a total of
four MAC addresses for the CPU1512SP‑1PN.
The MAC addresses of the PROFINET ports are needed for the LLDP protocol, for example for
the neighborhood discovery function.
The table below shows how the MAC addresses are assigned.
