4.5 Addressing
PROFINET-IO devices are addressed with a MAC address and an IP address.
Every single device has a globally unique MAC address (6-byte-long Ethernet
address): The first three bytes define the manufacturer-specific ID, while the
three remaining bytes define the device‘s serial device number.
PROFINET modules have specific names, ensuring that it will be possible to
assign every I/O device uniquely within a project. All I/O devices within a
project can be set up and configured using this name. It will not be possible
to establish a connection to the PLC if the name is incorrect or if there is an
incorrect configuration, as the PLC uses this name to recognize the I/O
device on the network.
4.5.1 Configuring the IP address
The following instructions explain how to configure the IP address for the
communication module.
▶
Plug the module into the variable frequency drive (
▶
Connect the device to the computer and to the network (connect the
