Configuration using PROFINET IO
In the delivery state, a MAC address is stored in every PROFINET IO field device such as the SP-COP2-
ENI module. The symbolic name (NameOfStation)
Test station
is stored on the SD card in the de-
livery state.
NOTICE
• In accordance with IEC 61158-6-10 no capital letters are permitted for the symbolic name
(NameOfStation).
• This NameOfStation is used by the I/O controller (e.g. the PLC) to assign an IP address to the
field device.
• If the IP address is also used for other communication via Ethernet, such as TCP/IP or for the
configuration via Ethernet, please note that the PLC changes the IP address and can thus inter-
rupt the other communication.
The IP address is assigned in two steps.
Assign a unique system-specific name to the Gateway, using either the network configuration
tool such as SIEMENS TIA Portal, or using the samosPLAN
6 software. In samosPLAN
6 this is the
Connection name
.
Where do you edit the connection name in samosPLAN
6? Open the
Project structure
docking
window and there click on the
Controller
entry right at the top. Additionally open the
Proper-
ties
docking window and enter the desired value there in the configuration dialog under
Connection name
.
A (unique) system-specific name can be used by the I/O-Controller (i.e. the PLC) to assign the IP
address to the gateway now before the system is booted.
NOTICE
The MAC address of the SP-COP2-ENI module is printed on the device's nameplate (Example:
00:07:17:02:03:05).
Using the Siemens TIA Portal to assign device names
In the
Online accesses
area, select the network card connected to the network which can be used to
access the SP-COP2-ENI device. In the
Assign name
function area, edit the
PROFINET device name
field and then select
Assign name
.
This will permanently assign the new device name to the SP-COP2-ENI device.
