S7-1200 example configuration
1. Click the PROFINET port on the device configuration CPU image, to view the port
parameters.
2. On the
tab, click the
tab to view the
options. Click
the
SET IP address on the device
option. This option may be called
Set IP address using
a different method
, depending on the TIA portal version that you have. For multi-port
devices like the S7-1500 CPU, you can similarly configure all ports to enable IP address
changes (when connected to the SIMATIC Automation Tool) or you can configure only
the port you want to change.
3. Also on the
options, click the
Set PROFINET device name on the
device
option. This selection allows the SIMATIC Automation Tool to assign names. For
multi-port devices like the S7-1500 CPU, you can similarly configure all ports to enable
PROFINET name changes (when connected to the SIMATIC Automation Tool) or you
can configure only the port you want to change.
4. Save your project and download the new configuration changes to the CPU.
