Configuration of further properties of SIMOCODE pro V PN as an IO device
Device name and IP parameters
The precondition for PROFINET IO communications is setting and configuring the IO device
name and IP parameters.
The device name and the IP parameters can be assigned in different ways:
● Assigning device names using the configuration tool of the automation system
● Configure device names with SIMOCODE ES parameterization software and download to
the device.
Assigning device names using the configuration tool of the automation system
The device name is assigned during the commissioning phase by the configuration tool of
the automation system (e.g. STEP 7) or with the SIMOCODE ES configuration software and
transmitted into the IO device via Ethernet. For transmission, the basic unit must be
connected and accessible via the Ethernet interface. Using the MAC address (e.g. 00-0E-
8C-BD-1F-27) printed on the front of the basic unit, the device can be accessible via LAN. In
this case, the "Overwrite device name in device" parameter set with the SIMOCODE ES
parameterization software under "PROFINET Parameters → Station" must not be active.
1. Device is given a technological name as part of configuration by the user (device name
here: Motor-1). STEP 7 automatically assigns an IP parameter
2. The user assigns the device name to an IO device based on the MAC address and
transfers this in the Online & Diagnostic functions of SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal)
3. The user loads the configuration into the IO controller
4. IO controller assigns the IP parameters during start-up based on the device name
