MAC address
The reader has two MAC addresses. The MAC address printed on the housing is the
interface MAC address. The port MAC address is the interface MAC address plus 1.
Generic station description (GSD file)
The properties of the PROFINET IO device SIMATIC MV440 or SIMATIC MV420 are stored
in the supplied GSD file.
If the SIMATIC MV440/SIMATIC MV420 is not yet listed in the module catalog of HW Config
in your STEP 7 version, add the reader with "Options ➜ Install GSD Files..." at this point.
This requires the corresponding bitmap files "GSDML-002A-0B03-MV440.bmp" and
"GSDML-002A-0B08-MV420.bmp" to be located in the same directory as the GSD file.

GSD files and BMP file can be downloaded from the Internet
