PROFINET Configuration Steps
8
Note: Device names must consist of lower-case letters, digits, and hyphens and be unique on the
PROFINET network. In the event an incompatible character is entered, the Set Device Name button will
be grayed out.
Note
:
The Device Name must be unique on the PROFINET network on which the device will be
connected.
It is not necessary to enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask as these are assigned automatically.
Automatic assignment avoids the risk of introducing conflicting IP addresses which will disrupt the
network. However, if you wish to assign a specific IP Address to the device, you may do so here.
Note
:
The IP address must be within the IP address Auto-Assign range specified in the supervising
PROFINET Controller PME Hardware Configuration.
The Device Name assigned to the device must also be entered into the PROFINET Network
Configuration in
PME’s Hardware Configuration.
These two names must match.
To
accomplish this, in
the PME Navigator window choose the VFD in the PNC device tree and assign the Device Name (Figure
9).
Figure 9: Assign Device Name at the PROFINET Controller
If a fixed IP address is to be assigned to this device, enter it on the form shown in Figure 8.
If the device has been previously configured, and an incompatible subnet has been assigned as part of
the IP address, use the Reset Device
button (Figure 8) to reset the device to its factory default.
For additional information on setting up Device Names and IP addresses, refer to GFK-2571,
