3.2 Device name and IP address
Introduction
In order that the PROFINET device can be addressed as node on PROFINET, the following are
required:
• A unique PROFINET device name
• A unique IP address in the relevant IP subnet
STEP 7 assigns a device name during the arrangement of a PROFINET device in the hardware
and network editor. The IP addresses are typically assigned automatically by STEP 7 and
assigned to the devices based on the device name.
You can change the name and IP address manually.
