Please note: Please observe the safety instructions for the product, which can be found in the manual. You can find the manual on the accompanying CD or it can be down- loaded from the website www.helmholz.de in the download area. This document should explain the initial commissioning of the PROFINET switch for use in a PROFINET project.
Following installation, the PROFINET switch can be found in the hardware catalog under "PROFINET IO -> Additional Field Devices -> Network Components -> Helmholz PN-Switch". Add the "PROFINET Switch, 4-port" device to the project and connect it with your PROFINET network.

By calling up the object properties, you can assign the PROFINET switch a unique PROFINET name and check the IP address for plausibility in the project. Important: The real device must later be assigned the same name as in the project. See also Chapter .6 Quick Start Guide PROFINET Switch 4/8-port...
4. Setting the port properties Each port of the PROFINET switch can be individually configured. Transfer medium/duplex: “disable” The port is permanently switched off. This option is recommended when the port is not to be used. Unauthorized infiltration of the network is prevented. “Automatic settings”...
5. Topology detection The PROFINET switch supports the mechanisms for neighborhood detection (LLDP). With this function it is possible to detect the topology of a PROFINET network, or to specify it for purposes of checking for the correct structuring by the configuration. If the topology was prescribed in the configuration, neighboring devices can also be assigned the PROFINET name in the event of the replacement of a device.
6. Assign the PROFINET switch a name When the configuration of the PROFINET switch has been completed in the hardware configurator, it can be loaded into the PLC. In order that the switch on the PROFINET can be found by the PROFINET controller, the PROFINET name must be set in the device.
MRP client. MRP stands for "media redundancy protocol". MRP enables ring wiring, which also makes operation of the PROFINET network possible in the event of the failure of a cable or of a participant. Helmholz TB20-C | PROFINET IO There must be at least one MRP master (e.g. the CPU) in an MRP ring. All other participants of the ring are then MRP clients.
8. Diagnosis and configuration via the web interface The web interface is also accessible under the IP address assigned to the PROFINET switch in the PROFINET network. When the web interface is first called up, the password of the "admin" user is "admin" (as of firmware V1.02 the password is the serial number of the device). It is absolutely necessary to assign a new password following the first login: Quick Start Guide PROFINET Switch 4/8-port...

One goes to the system view following entry of the new password: Note: If the PROFINET switch is configured and used in a PROFINET network, settings in the web interface are only to be viewed as a diagnosis. Non-configured settings acquired from PROFINET (Port Status, LLDP, DCP, Ring Redundancy) are then not possible in the web interface. Quick Start Guide PROFINET Switch 4/8-port...
9. Switch diagnosis and settings Extensive information and settings for the function of the switch are accessible in the Switch menu. 10. Port mirroring In order to be able to carry out frame analyses or recordings, Port Mirroring can be activated in the PROFINET switch. With Port Mirroring, the frame transfer from one port via another port is completely mirrored, on which an analysis PC can then record everything.
11. Statistics Detailed statistics on the data transfer can be queried in the "Statistics" menu. Among other things, the quality of the transmission can be monitored in the sub-menu "Statistics by Error". Quick Start Guide PROFINET Switch 4/8-port...
12. Agents In addition to the configuration of the PROFINET switch via PROFINET, it is also possible to carry out a diagnosis and configuration via TELNET and SSH. These accesses can be explicitly shut off for safety reasons. You can find more information about the use of TELNET and SSH accesses in the manual. In order to already be able to view basic information about the switch at the start website, before you have logged in, the option "System Status Without Login"...
13. SNMP The PROFINET switch supports SNMP ("Simple Network Management Protocol") in order to also enable the identification and diagnosis of the switch for IT administration tools. Quick Start Guide PROFINET Switch 4/8-port...
14. Setting the time The PROFINET switch contains a system clock for the issuing of logs and alarm messages. This can be set either manually or automatically by an SNTP server. Quick Start Guide PROFINET Switch 4/8-port...
The successful resetting of the parameters and settings is acknowledged during the boot process by the SF LED lighting up. 16. Firmware update A firmware update can be carried out via the web interface. You are provided with the firmware update file by Helmholz Support or in the download area of the PROFINET switch under www.helmholz.de.
17. LED status information 18. Button functions The PROFINET switch can be reset to factory settings - Off No power supply or device defective with the “FCN” button. - On Device is correctly supplied with voltage If the “FCN” button is pressed during the run-up time of the switch, the orange “SF”...
