Device exchange without removable media/PG
PROFINET IO devices that support the function device exchange without removable media or PG can be exchanged in an
existing PROFINET network without the need to use a removable media or programming device. In this case the IO-Controller
takes over the task to assign the device name. For the assignment of the device name the IO-controller uses the configured
topology and the adjacent relationships determined by the IO-Devices.
The LioN-Link PROFINET BusHead supports the function of device exchange without removable media/PG.
The topology of the network has to be configured for the use of the function.
During the configuration of the IO-Controller in
HW-Config
the function has to be selected. A double click on the PROFINET IO
port of the controller opens the properties dialogue. Activate the function “
Support device replacement without exchangeable
medium”
.
The interconnections of the PROFINET ports of the individual devices have to be configured also. A double click on a port of a
device in
HW-Config
opens its properties dialogue. In the register
Topology
the interconnections with the partner ports of
other devices in the network are defined.
