PROFINET IO configuration of the UE4740 EFI gateway
7.3.1
Reading the general station description
Before you can configure for the first time the PROFINET IO for the UE4740 PROFINET IO
EFI gateway, you must read the general station description for the UE4740 EFI gateway
into the hardware catalogue for the hardware configuration program for PROFINET IO.
Insert the CD-
ROM „CDS —
Configuration & Diagnostic Software“ contain
ed in the
package into the CD-ROM drive of the Notebook/PC.
The general station description for the UE4740 EFI gateway is on the CD-ROM in the
folder „
\EFI gateway\
GSDML“.
Follow the instructions in the online help or in the user manual of your PROFINET
configuration tool for installing GSDML files.
Then the UE4740 PROFINET IO EFI gateway will appear, e.g. in the SIMATIC-Manager
(Siemens) in the hardware catalogue in PROFINET IO.
7.3.2
Adding the EFI gateway to the hardware configuration
Each PROFINET IO field device , e.g. the UE4740 PROFINET IO EFI gateway, has a
dedicated MAC address, a variable device name, a variable IP address and a fixed device
type. The device type designation for the UE4740 PROFINET IO is
SICK-UE4740
.
The variable device name is used by the I/O controller to define the IP address for the field
device. The address is defined in two steps:
1.
Assign a unique system-specific name to the UE4740 PROFINET IO EFI gateway with the
aid of the network configuration program (e.g. SIEMENS SIMATIC Manager).
2.
Assign the IP address by means of the I/O controller based on the unique system-
specific name.
You will find the MAC address on the type label on the UE4740 PROFINET IO EFI gateway
(e.g.: 00:06:77:02:00:A7).
The PROFIsafe address and the PROFINET device name in the hardware configuration
program must match the settings in the device. The PROFIsafe address must be set via
the CDS, the name can be set using either the CDS or the network configuration
program (e.g. SIEMENS SIMATIC Manager). The procedure for planning this data
depends on the hardware configuration of the (F)PLC used. On this topic, please also
read the documentation for the corresponding program.
The IP address, which can be assigned to the device via the CDS, is not relevant for
establishing PROFINET communication with an I/O controller. On establishing
communication with an I/O controller the IP address set there will be overwritten by the
planned IP address and the Remanent flag will be removed. The use of this IP address
assignment via the CDS is optional and is intended for diagnostics and configuration
purposes.
