Device Name And Ip Address At Delivery - Datalogic AMT58 Series Manual

Device name and IP address at delivery

In a Profinet network it is mandatory that each IO device is provided with its own Device
name and IP address. By default, before delivery the device name of the encoder is set
to a blank string and its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0.
Before the PROFINET IO controller can address a PROFINET IO device, a name has to be
assigned to the PROFINET IO device. PROFINET uses this method because names are
easier to use and recall than complex IP addresses. Devices on an Ethernet subnet must
have unique names.
NOTE
The device names must satisfy DNS (Domain Name System) conventions:
•

An IO Device does not have a device name when delivered. By default, the
device name of Datalogic Profinet encoders is set to a blank string.
Names are limited to a total of 127 characters (letters, numbers, dashes or dots).
Any component part (that is, a character string between two dots) of the device
name may only be up to 63 characters long.
Names cannot contain any special character such as umlauts, parentheses, under-
scores, forward or backward slashes, empty spaces, etc. The dash is the only spe-
cial character allowed.
Names must neither start nor end with the minus "-" sign.
