Integrating the Interface Module into the Network
Select your product from the list of search results. Click the information you require in the prod-
uct information list, e.g.,
Software
.
A list of all available downloads is displayed.
PROFINET Device Name
For the interface module to be addressed as a PROFINET device, this interface module
requires a unique PROFINET device name.
On delivery, the module does not yet have a device name. The device name is assigned to the
module via the project planning software.
PROFINET Address
In normal operation (data exchange mode), the IP address is usually assigned to the module by
the PROFINET controller (PLC). For this purpose, the module has a device name that is used
to address it.
Adding the Device to the Network
1.
Open SIMATIC Manager and select the PROFINET IO system.
2.
Install the GSDML file by clicking
Options
and
Install GSD File
.
The device data is added to the hardware catalog.
3.
Open the hardware catalog and browse through the tree structure until you see the WCS-
PNG410 symbol (PROFINET IO > Additional Field Devices > Gateway > Fuchs WCS).
Caution!
Malfunction due to incorrectly configured devices
Incorrectly configured devices can cause the plant to malfunction.
•
Put devices into operation only once they have been configured correctly.
Note
Various project planning tools are available to allow you to configure the interface module. This
manual describes how to configure a Siemens SIMATIC controller as an example. If you are
using a programmable logic controller (PLC) from a different manufacturer, the process will be
similar to the one described here.
