Loading the IO controller for the first time
Once you have configured the SITOP PSU8600 and the station, you must load this
configuration into the IO controller (SIMATIC S7 control system). This is the way that the IO
controller is assigned its configured IP address.
Before loading, carry out a consistency test to check the configuration for duplicate
addresses, identical names, etc.
Inform yourself whether the IO controller to be loaded can also be initially loaded via the
PROFINET interface. If not, you must first load the hardware configuration via the MPI
interface.
1. Select in the "Target system > Load" menu.
2. Select the module to be loaded.
3. In the "Select node address" dialog, if necessary, click the "Display" button to display the
actual accessible modules (these include the IO controller to be loaded with its current IP
address or its MAC address, if no IP address is yet available).
4. Select the IO controller to be loaded from the accessible modules. This module is then
displayed in the "Enter connection to target station" dialog box.
5. Start loading by clicking on the "OK" button.
The IO controller is assigned the configured IP address.
Note
Ensure that the article number of the SITOP
PSU8600 configured offline matches the article
number of the device connected o
