Assign the PROFINET device-name
When the configuration of the PN/CAN Gateway has been completed in the hardware configurator, it
can be loaded into the PLC.
In order for the PN/CAN Gateway to be found by the PROFINET controller, the PROFINET device
name must be assigned to the PN/CAN Gateway. To do this, use the "Assign device name" function,
which you can access with the right mouse button or in the Online menu when the PN/CAN Gateway
is selected.
Use the "Refresh list" button to search the network for PROFINET stations. With "Assign Name" the
PROFINET device name can be assigned to the device.
The clear identification of the PN/CAN Gateway is ensured here by the MAC address of the device.
The MAC address of the device is on the front of the PN/CAN Gateway.
If the PN/CAN Gateway has been assigned the correct PROFINET device name, it is recognized by the
PLC and configured. When the configuration has run correctly, the blue "Mode" LED should blink.
To set the PROFINET name, the Helmholz IPSet Tool can also be used, which can be
downloaded free of charge from the Helmholz website. Scan the following QR code
