Configuring the Ethernet CP with STEP 7
Meaning / effect
Depending on the CP device type, you can select the possible
modes here in which the S7 station can be operated on
PROFINET.
PROFINET IO controller
•
With this option, you specify whether or not the Ethernet CP
will be operated as a PROFINET IO controller. You can also
specify this by assigning a PROFINET IO system to the CP in
HW Config using the shortcut menu of the right mouse button.
PROFINET IO device
•
With this option, you specify whether or not the Ethernet CP
will be operated as a PROFINET IO device. In a further step,
you assign the CP to the PROFINET IO system as a
PROFINET IO device.
Name of the device (acc. to DNS conventions). The device name
must be unique on the Ethernet subnet. When the CP is operating
as a PROFINET IO controller, the device name is derived from the
short name.
STEP 7 allows you to add the name of the IO system to the device
name automatically. If you require this, select the "Use name in
device/controller" option in the properties of the PROFINET IO
system.
To be able to use the S7 station with PROFINET CBA, specify the
CP to be used for the componentization for PROFINET CBA or
SIMATIC iMap.
