Assigning the IP address / device name with STEP 7

This section is intended only for S7 users (RF615R/RF680R/RF685R).
Note
Restriction when assigning IP addresses
Remember that only the RF615R, RF680R, and RF685R readers can be configured as
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 and the WBM.
Requirement
STEP 7 is installed, the RF615R/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 33)".
Procedure
Follow the steps below to assign a unique device name to the reader:
1. Open 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 with the "Add new
device" menu command.
The device view opens and the controller is displayed.
5. Go to the network view and drag the required reader from the hardware catalog into the
project.
6. Assign the reader to the controller.
7. Right-click on the reader.
