After you selected the Communication Module, save the settings to the Sensor Controller and
restart it.
If you do not restart the Sensor Controller, the selected Communication Module will not be
enabled.
Furthermore, if the operation mode is set to the Multi-line Random Trigger Mode, the Com-
munications Modules for lines 1 and higher must also be set to PROFINET.
• When using Multi-line Random-trigger Mode, specify different addresses for the sending and
receiving areas for each line.
Setting IP Address
Set the IP address for the Sensor Controller.
Precautions for Correct Use
Set the same IP address as it set by I/O controller such as a PLC. In PROFINET communica-
tions, an IP address set by I/O controller is prioritized.
