Parameter assignment/addressing
3.2 Device name and IP address
PROFINET with STEP 7 V15
58 Function Manual, 12/2017, A5E03444486-AH
To assign PROFINET device names, you must first detect the IO devices available online.
With this procedure, it matters whether the MAC addresses are known or unknown. This
results in a general procedure in two steps:
1. Detecting the IO devices available online
2. Assigning configured PROFINET device names to the IO devices available online
● You are in the network view.
● There is an online connection to the devices.
To detect IO devices available online from the I/O communication table, follow these steps:
1. Optional: Entered known MAC addresses in the "MAC address" column. After every valid
entry, the check box under "Assign device" is selected for the relevant row.
Note
You can enter, insert or import the MAC address in different formats. The correct format
is automatically entered in the cell. The following entries are supported and then
converted to the required format:
"08:00:06:BA:1F:20"
"08 00 06 BA 1F 20"
"080006BA1F20"
The formats used in the example are automatically converted to "08
-00-06-BA-1F-20".
2. Click "Check devices" to start the check of the IO devices available online.
3. Set the PG/PC interface in the dialog window and click "Start".
