Assign a name to the PN/EtherNetIP coupler
When the configuration of the PN/EtherNetIP coupler is completed in the hardware configurator of the
engineering tool, it can be imported into the PLC.
To enable the PN/EtherNetIP Coupler to be found by the PROFINET controller, the PROFINET device
name must be assigned to the PN/EtherNetIP Coupler. To do this, use the "Assign device name" function,
which you can access with the right mouse button or in the Online menu if the PN/EtherNetIP Coupler is
selected.
Use the "Update list" button to search the network for PROFINET stations. With "Assign name" the
PROFINET device name can be assigned to the device.
The unique identification of the PN/EtherNetIP coupler is guaranteed here by the MAC address of the
device. The PROFINET MAC address can be read on the front of the PN/EtherNetIP Coupler on the left-
hand side at X1 ("MAC 1").
If the PN/EtherNetIP coupler has received the correct PROFINET name, it is recognized and configured by
the PLC. If the configuration is correct, the PROFINET "BF" LED should be off.
To set the PROFINET name, the Helmholz IPSet Tool can also be used, which can be
downloaded free of charge from the Helmholz website.
