15.5.4.3.1
Determining a permanent IP address and name for the Vision Sensor
The Vision Sensor no longer visible in the PROFINET device list once it is connected to the PLC, since data
transmission via PROFINET is disabled in the Vision Sensor's factory settings.
This section explains how PROFINET is enabled, a persistent IP address is assigned and a device name is
determined for the Vision Sensor.
1.
After connecting the Vision Sensor to the PLC,
the
Accessible devices
dialogue contained in the
Siemens PLC software package can be used to
monitor whether the connected Vision Sensor is
visible.
It is not, since the factory settings mean that
PROFINET is disabled in the Vision Sensor.
