5.2. Encoder bus implementation

Use the mouse to drag text „GxxMW" out of the hardware catalog at right to the bus rail.
Use the mouse again to drag encoder module "Encoder data 32Bit EA" from the right out of the hardware
catalog to plug-in position 1 of the module window at left below in the hardware catalog.

5.3. Assigning the device name

Device identification in the network requires the worldwide unique MAC device address, the IP address that
is either configured or assigned by the controller in an automated process, and third a unique device name in
the PROFINET network. All three identifiers are loaded when booting the system. The projecting procedure
only requires assigning the device name. The assigned name is designed correspondingly in the projecting
tool (for the controller) and by a separate operation is online transmitted to the device where it is saved in the
non-volatile memory.
Assigning a device name in the projecting tool
Double-click on the encoder image in window HW-Config. A window is opened where the presently assigned
device name respectively the device name to be assigned in the next step may be entered.
Assigning a name to the device
It is only necessary to alter the default device name „PNBushaube" if more than one devices of this name are
networked to PROFINET.
The PC with the projecting tool ("PG") has to be connected by Ethernet interface to PROFINET bus to enable
device name assignment („baptism") of PN-Devices. Name assignment by MPI interface with midstream PLC
®
is not possible. In the projecting tool Step7
first the PC/PC interface must be changed from MPI to TCP/IP.
The above also applies correspondingly to other projecting tools. Open the Simatic manager and follow the
path "Options" – "Set PG/PC Interface" TCP/IP
<Network Card>. Select <Network Card>.
To start a search run covering the complete network proceed by "PLC" – „Edit Ethernet Node" – „Browse".
The users traced in the bus are indicated in the example the user name is "PNBushaube".
