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.
When the SITOP PSU8600 is first connected with a controller (SIMATIC S7 control), it must
be assigned a device name and an IP address by the controller. A new configuration can be
loaded to the device with SIMATIC STEP 7.
Preconditions
●
The SITOP PSU8600 has been correctly connected and linked with the network.
●
PG/PC with SIMATIC STEP 7 is connected with the network.
Displaying accessible nodes
From SIMATIC STEP 7 you can flash the LED "SF" at the SITOP PSU8600 so that you can
uniquely identify the module in a network.
Note
If nodes can only be accessed via interposed switches or routers (with protocol conversion),
they are not displayed in the list of the accessible nodes.
