Configuration 63
The range of the LAN is the subnet mask range. A node can be assigned to any address in the
subnet (which may be outside of the auto-assignment range given in the dialog), but the
addresses for all nodes must be in the subnet.
Gateway: The IP Address of the device that connects two (sub)networks that use different
communications protocols, enabling them to communicate with each other. The value
defined here propagates to PROFINET Controllers and I/O devices throughout the network.
CAUTION
If the gateway is improperly set, devices may be unable to communicate on the network
and might disrupt network communications. Contact your network administrator to assign
values that work with an existing network.
IO-Controllers: (Read-only.) The number of I/O Controllers configured to reside on the LAN.
IO-Devices: (Read-only.) The number of I/O devices configured to reside on the LAN.
Network Transit Time
4
(units of 1 ms): The maximum time (in ms) for a message to
propagate between any two nodes on the LAN. This time depends upon the network
architecture and is typically negligible. It can be significant in networks that have one or
more slow segments.
For a media redundancy ring network, it is recommended to set this parameter to at least 5
ms (parameter value = 5), which accommodates the maximum supported number of ring
nodes.
3.7 Adding a VersaMax PROFINET Scanner to a LAN
To add a VersaMax PNS to a LAN, in the Navigator right-click on the IC695PNC001 module
and select Add IO Device. The PROFINET Device Catalog appears.

4 Versions of this manual (prior to version N), incorrectly dimensioned this unit in terms of tenths of a millisecond. The units are in ms.
