Battery
No battery is required for the EK9xx0, therefore this option is not included.
Red DIP switch
Default setting is OFF/OFF.
In order, for example, to load new firmware to the EK via USB, the first DIP switch must be set to “1” before
switching on. If the RUN LED lights up blue, the EK can be connected to the PC by a USB cable. The PC
then finds the internal Flash as the storage medium. The storage medium may not be formatted!
Micro SD card
Alternatively the firmware can also be loaded to an SD card. Booting always takes place from the SD card if
there is one in the slot. This can be used, for example, to test a firmware before copying it to the EK’s
internal Flash.
USB interface
The USB interface can only be used if the “red” DIP switch has been set accordingly. See “Red DIP switch”.

Setting the IP address
Usually the IP address is assigned by the PROFINET controller. By default the EK9300 has no IP address.
An IP address is necessary, however, in order to reach the device by ADS. This can be assigned by DHCP
(a DHCP server must be present) or a fixed IP address can be used. See chapter
.
If the PROFINET controller is connected, the IP address assigned by the controller is used for PROFINET
communication. The fixed IP address or the one assigned by the DHCP is overwritten.
A further possibility is to communicate with the EK9300 via the IP address assigned by the controller; to do
this, however, the device must have been initialized at least once by the PROFINET controller/engineering.
