Profinet Quick Start Guide
Configuring individual Smart Slice parameters
To configure/setup parameters on individual Smart Slices (e.g. changing range on an Analogue input
from 0V-5V to 4mA-20mA), Cx-Configurator FDT must be connected to the Profinet using an Ethernet
connection (same connection to set ‘names’). It is not currently possible to use another
communication option (e.g. via USB on PLC CPU).
Once ‘on-line’, configuration data for Individual Smart Slices can be modified, compared and
uploaded.

Ethernet to configure Smart Slices of IO Devices
The PC running Cx-Configurator FDT must have a unique IP address set on the same network as the
Profinet. For example, if the PROFINET IO Controller is 192.168.9.100, PROFINET IO Device is
192.168.9.90, then set PC IP address to 192.168.9.20 (say).
Messages sent from Cx-Configurator FDT to the Smart Slice coupler are sent as FINS packets over
PROFINET/Ethernet.
In the project tree ‘open’ the Smart Slice component. Also right click on the same component in the
tree and ‘Work Online’. When connected, the buttons along the component will no longer be greyed
out.
