Assigning The Ip Address / Device Name With Step 7 - Siemens SIMATIC RF650R Configuration Manual

4.4.2

Assigning the IP address / device name with STEP 7

This section is intended only for S7 users (RF680R/RF685R).
Note
Restriction when assigning IP addresses
Remember that only the RF680R and RF685R readers can be configured as a PROFINET
device using STEP 7. The RF650R reader does not support PROFINET and can therefore
only be assigned a unique IP address using the Primary Setup Tool.
Requirement
STEP 7 is installed, the RF680R/RF685R readers are linked into the TIA Portal and the
RF680R/RF685R reader is connected and has started up.
You will find further information on linking the readers into the TIA Portal in the section
"Linking readers into STEP 7 (Basic / Professional) (Page 29)".
Procedure
Follow the steps below to assign a unique device name to the reader:
1. Call up the TIA Portal with "Start > All Programs > Siemens Automation > TIA Portal Vxx".
2. Create a new project.
3. Change to the Project view.
4. Using the project tree, insert a SIMATIC controller in the project using the "Add new
device" menu command.
The device view opens and the SIMATIC controller is displayed.
5. Drag the required reader from the hardware catalog to the project.
6. Change to the network view and connect the reader to the SIMATIC controller.
7. Right-click on the reader.
