7.2 Assign a PROFINET device name to the DP/PN Coupler
When the configuration of the DP/PN Coupler has been completed in the hardware
configurator of the engineering tool, it can be loaded into the PLC.
In order that the DP/PN Coupler can be found by the PROFINET controller, the
PROFINET device name must be assigned to the DP/PN Coupler. To this purpose,
use the function “Assign device name”, which you can access in the Offline menu
with the right mouse button when the DP/PN Coupler is activated.
With the “Update list” button, the network can be browsed for PROFINET partici-
pants. The PROFINET device name can be assigned to the device with “Assign name”.
The clear identification of the DP/PN Coupler is ensured here by the MAC address of
the device. The MAC address of the device can be found on the device front of the
DP/PN coupler.
The Helmholz IPSet tool, which can be downloaded at no charge from the Hemholz
website, can also be used to set the PROFINET name.
If the DP/PN Coupler has been assigned the correct name, it is recognized by the
PLC and configured. If configuration has taken place correctly, the PROFINET “BF”
LED should be off.
If configuration has also taken place correctly on the PROFIBUS side, the PROFIBUS
“BF” LED should also be off. When both network sides have been configured appro
-
priately (number and size of the IO areas agree), the “SF” LEDs on both sides should
also be out on both sides and data transmission be underway.
