Follow the steps below to replace a reader (Ethernet/PROFINET connection):
1. Make sure that the reader is disconnected from the power supply.
If you work via a SIMATIC controller, make sure that this is disconnected from the power
supply.
2. Pull the cable from the reader.
3. Remove the reader from its mounting.
4. Mount the new reader.
5. Connect the reader to the PC or the SIMATIC controller using the Ethernet cable.
6. If necessary, connect the reader to one or more external antennas.
7. Connect the reader to the power supply using the connecting cable.
Wait until the reader has started up and is ready for operation ("R/S" LED is lit/flashes
green).
8. Assign the reader a unique IP address and a unique device name.
9. Load the configuration to the reader.
Module replacement with automatic device name assignment
When you replace a module, you have the option of assigning the device names
automatically based on the configured PROFINET topology. This function is only possible
when replacing a device.
● The PROFINET topology has been configured.
● The "Device replacement without exchangeable medium" option is enabled in the
PROFINET settings on the CPU.
● The new reader has the factory settings; in other words, no device name and no IP
address have been assigned.
If the reader does not have the factory settings, the module must be reset to the factory
settings.
