Siemens SIMATIC MV500 Operating Instructions Manual page 141

Operating the optical reader with a static IP address ("X1 LAN1"/"X2 LAN2")
Assign the network address manually in "Manual" IP mode. Enter the IP address and the
subnet mask to suit your network configuration and, if applicable, a gateway address. To do
this, specify the Ethernet interfaces to be used as the default gateway in WBM ("Settings >
Communication > Interfaces > Ethernet").
NOTICE
Requirement for the IP address
Note that you can only set the IP address for the "X2 LAN2" interface via the WBM.
NOTICE
Ethernet interfaces in different subnets
Note that you must operate the Ethernet interfaces "X1 LAN1" and "X2 LAN2" in two
different subnets. If you do not comply, you cannot save the changes in the WBM, or if you
use SINEC PNI, the IP address of the "X2 LAN2" interface is discarded.
A gateway is not necessary for a direct connection between the optical reader and a PC/PG.
Operating an optical reader as a DHCP/DNS server ("X1 LAN1")
NOTICE
Possible faults when operating as a DHCP/DNS server
Note that operating the optical reader as a DHCP/DNS server can interfere with
communication in an existing network! Another DHCP/DNS server in the network must not
be enabled.
Note that the optical reader automatically operates as a DHCP/DNS server when connected
using the "CONNECT" button.
Operating the optical reader in PROFINET mode ("X1 LAN1")
In PROFINET mode, you can do the following with the optical reader:
• Connect to the PC or the PG in your existing PROFINET IO network.
• Integrate as a device in a PROFINET IO network.
• Integrate as a device in a PROFINET IO network with an existing IP address (can be set in
the configuration software, e.g. TIA Portal).
• Assign the IP configuration of the PROFINET IO controller.
