Assigning Device Names To The I/O Device - Siemens ET 200pro Operating Instructions Manual

5.2.3

Assigning device names to the I/O device

Introduction
All PROFINET IO devices are assigned a unique device ID by the manufacturer, namely the
MAC address.
Each ET 200pro IO device is addressed by its device name in the configuration and user
program.
For detailed information on addressing in PROFINET IO, refer to the PROFINET system
description (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19292127).
Requirements
● There must be an online PROFINET connection between the PG and IO device to let you
● The IO device is configured in HW Config and assigned an IP address.
Assigning device names
1. Switch on the supply voltages on the IM 154-4 PN High Feature.
2. In HW Config, open the "Properties - IM 154-4 PN High Feature" dialog box, enter the
3. In HW Config, select "PLC > Ethernet > Assign Device Name".
4. Click "Assign Name" in the "Assign Device Name" window.
Result
IM 154-4 PN High Feature (6ES7154-4AB10-0AB0): The device name is stored permanently
in the interface module.
Node flash test
When using more than one IO device, the system shows all of those in the "Assign device
name" dialog box. In this case, compare the MAC address of the device with the indicated
MAC address, then select the relevant IO device.
The identification of an IO device within the system is facilitated by the node flash test. To
activate the flash test:
1. Select one of the indicated IO devices from the "Assign device name" dialog box.
2. Select the flash period you want to use.
3. Press the "Flash on" button.
The LINK LED of the selected IO device flashes. If PROFINET IO is looped, both LINK LEDs
will flash.
