Setting up the IP address

NOTICE
Precondition for communication with the device
The setting of IP parameters is a precondition for communication with the device. These
parameters are the IP address, the subnet mask, the gateway address and the (Profinet)
device name (optional).
IP parameters can be assigned by various methods:
● Using the SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal) parameterization software
● Using a BOOTP/DHCP tool.
Assigning the IP address with the SIMOCODE ES parameterization software
Procedure:
● Start SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal)
● Enter a project name under option "Create new project" and click on "Create"
● Switch to the project view.
● Click on the line "Online access" in the "Project navigation" window. You can choose
between the following online access options:
– COM <x> [SIRIUS PtP] - if the device is connected to the PC via the system interface
– Intel(R) Gigabit Network Connection (or comparable designation) - if the device is
● Click "Show accessible nodes"
● Double-click on the relevant device to select it from the list. To do this, you will need the
MAC address attached to the front of the device.
● Assign
– the IP address and set the subnet mask under Parameters → Ethernet parameters
– the IP address and set the subnet mask under Online & Diagnostics → Functions → IP
● Download the IP address and the subnet mask to the device.
● You can also assign a device name if you want to. The main purpose of doing so is to
give the device a clear, symbolic name that will be displayed in the project navigation
window. However, a device name is not essential for communication with the device.
