Restart After Detection Of A Duplicate Ip Address In The Network; Remove Retentive Storage Of The Ip Address If There Are Duplicate Addresses; Assign The Address And Network Parameters With The Primary Setup Tool (Pst) - Siemens IE/PB LINK PN IO Operating Instructions Manual

Configuration and operation

4.3 Assign the address and network parameters with the Primary Setup Tool (PST)

4.2.2

Restart after detection of a duplicate IP address in the network

Behavior when the LINK starts up
To save you time-consuming troubleshooting in the network, during startup the LINK detects
double addressing in the network.
If the LINK recognizes double addressing during startup, it changes to the RUN status and
can no longer be reached via the IP parameters. The LEDs "ER" and "R/S" are lit and the
LED "BF PN" flashes.
4.2.3

Remove retentive storage of the IP address if there are duplicate addresses

The IP address and the PROFINET device name of the LINK remain stored retentively:
If, for example during startup, the LINK detects a duplicate address in another network, the
LINK is not connected to the network. The LEDs "ER" and "R/S" are lit and the LED "BF PN"
flashes. The LINK is not reachable via the IP parameters.
To connect the LINK to the network, remove the retentively stored IP address as follows:
Using DCP with the Primary Setup Tool (PST), set the IP address of the LINK to 0.0.0.0
without configuration or set a new address.
This removes the retentively stored IP address of the LINK. The LINK can be connected into
the network.
4.3 Assign the address and network parameters with the Primary Setup
Tool (PST)
With PST you assign the IP parameters and the PROFIBUS parameters to the LINK for the
first time.
You then download the configuration data to the LINK.
Note the required version of the PST, see section Requirements for use (Page 19).
Starting PST and setting the PC access
1. Connect the PC to the LINK.
2. Start the PST using the start menu:
Siemens Automation > SIMATIC > Primary Setup Tool > Primary Setup Tool
3. First set the access point of the PC with:
"Settings" > "Set PG/PC Interface"
4. Select the interface to be used and confirm the dialog.
