Loading the configuration (commissioning)
In the delivered state, the SITOP PSU8600 has not yet been assigned any IP address and
the DHCP protocol is deactivated.
If the SITOP PSU8600 is connected to an IO controller (SIMATIC S7 control) for the first
time, then it must be assigned a device name and an IP address by the IO controller. A new
configuration can be loaded to the device using SIMATIC STEP 7 in the TIA Portal.
Preconditions
●
The SITOP PSU8600 has been correctly connected and linked with the network.
●
PG/PC (Siemens programming device) with SIMATIC STEP 7 in the TIA Portal is
connected with the network.
Identifying a SITOP PSU8600 in the network
From SIMATIC STEP 7 in the TIA Portal you can get LED "SF" at the SITOP PSU8600 to
flash, which means that you can uniquely identify it as module in a network.
Procedure
1.
From the toolbar, open the "Online > Accessible nodes" menu.
2.
Select "PN/IE" as the PG/PC interface type.
3.
Select the PG/PC interface that is connected to the network.
4.
