Assigning IO-Device Names

After the PNS and third-party IO-Devices on the LAN have been entered into the configuration, the Discovery
and Configuration Protocol (DCP) tool in Machine Edition must be used to assign a name to each IO-Device.
This step is required before downloading the configuration from the PROFINET Controller. Without this step,
the PROFINET Controller would be unable to connect to the devices and deliver their configuration.
The programmer must be connected to the RX3i controller system and the LAN and its devices must be
installed.
To open the DCP tool, right-click the hardware configuration slot containing the IC695PNC001 PROFINET
Controller and choose Launch Discovery Tool from the menu.
Use the Connection dropdown list to select the computer port being used by the programmer to communicate
with the RX3i system:

The choices should match the windows network setting in the computer's network control panel.

In the DCP tool, use the LAN list to select the configured LAN. The results will be validated against the selected
LAN.
