Assigning The Ip Address / Device Name With The Pst - Siemens SIMATIC RF600 Series Configuration Manual

● Operating RF615R/RF680R/RF685R readers as S7 users in an automation environment
The unique assignment for PROFINET operation is based on the device name using the
TIA Portal (as of STEP 7 Basic / Professional V13).
In PROFIBUS operation via a communications module an IP address needs to be
assigned only for configuration and diagnostics purposes.
● Operating RF680R/RF685R readers as a Rockwell user in an automation environment
The unique assignment is made using the IP address.
The RF650R reader ships with the IP address "192.168.0.254" set in the factory. In the
factory settings, the RF615R, RF680R and RF685R readers are set to DHCP. With the aid of
the tools listed and the WBM (as of firmware V3.0) you can change IP addresses.
These alternative methods are described below.
