Device names for ET 200eco PN
Introduction
Every PROFINET IO device is assigned a unique device ID (MAC address) before it leaves
the factory.
Each ET 200eco PN IO Device is addressed based on its device name during configuration
and in the user program.
You will find detailed information on addressing in PROFINET IO in the the SIMATIC
PROFINET system description
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19292127
) System Manual.
● An online PROFINET connection from the programming device to the IO Device is
required for assigning the device name to the IO Device.
● The IO device is configured and an IP address assigned in
HW Config
.
1. Switch on the supply voltages for the ET 200eco PN.
2. Open the "Properties - ET 200eco PN" window in
HW Config
. Enter the device name for
the IO Device and confirm your entry with "OK".
3. Select
PLC > Ethernet > Assign Device Name
in
HW Config
.
4. Click on "Assign Name" in the "Assign Device Name" window.
The device name is saved internally in the ET 200eco PN.
The "Assign device name" dialog box displays all IO Devices used. Compare the MAC
address of the device with the MAC address displayed and then select the correct IO Device.
The identification of IO Devices in a plant is facilitated by a node flash test. The flash test is
activated as follows:
1. Select one of the displayed IO Devices from the "Assign device name" dialog box.
2. Select the flashing period.
3. Click the "Flash on" button.
The LINK LEDs flash on the selected IO Device.
