Setting PROFIsafe address for KP8F
A PROFIsafe target address is assigned when you add the HMI device in the HW Config of
the STEP 7 project. The PROFIsafe target address is the value of the "F_Dest_Add"
parameter - see chapter "Setting KP8F - STEP 7 (Page 64)".
Then you must set the same PROFIsafe target address using the DIP switch on the back of
the HMI device.
Note
Ensure that the HMI device is disconnected from the power before setting the PROFIsafe
target address with the DIP switches.
Requirement
● The DIP switch of the HMI device is accessible.
● The value of the "F_Dest_Add" parameter is known.
Note
The PROFIsafe target address of the HMI device must be unique throughout the
communication network and station. You can assign a maximum of 1022 PROFIsafe
target addresses in a single system.
If you change the STEP 7 program in a way that changes the PROFIsafe target address,
you need to change the switch settings on the HMI device's DIP switch accordingly.
Example
In the HW Config of the STEP 7 project, set the binary address for "383" as the PROFIsafe-
target address:
Corresponding setting on the DIP switch: 0101111111
● 1 = switch setting "ON"
● 0 = switch setting "OFF".
