Scan a network and use the device table
Basic operation
The device table for a new SIMATIC Automation Tool project is empty. You can assign a
network interface card, scan a network, and fill the device table automatically.
The device table is filled with information collected by a network scan. You can see a
parameter's existing value and enter new values into the appropriate column, for each
device.
Device table cells have either a light gray or dark gray background:
● You can enter new values in the light gray cells
● You cannot enter new values in the dark gray cells
● A disabled dark gray cell prevents entering new values and indicates that this action is
not supported, for this device.
After new IP addresses are entered in the device table, you can use the "Download"
command to transfer the address assignments into selected directly connected devices.
Once the IP address assignments for all your devices are valid, you can use the SIMATIC
Automation Tool operations that require IP addresses.
In addition, a network scan shows devices located behind CPUs and IP address routers.
