Note

Communication errors caused by IP address conflicts

Communication errors can occur if several devices in a network share the same IP address.

Assign a unique IP address to every HMI device in the network.

1. Press "Network Interface" to open the

"Interface PN X1" dialog.

2. Choose either automatic address

assignment via "DHCP", or user-

specific address assignment.

3. If assigning a user-specific address,

use the screen keyboard to enter valid

values in the "IP address", "Subnet

mask" text boxes and if applicable in

the "Default gateway" text box.

4. Select the transmission rate in the

PROFINET network and the

transmission type in the "Mode and

speed" selection box under "Ethernet

parameters".

Valid values are 10 Mbps or

100 Mbps and "HDX" (half duplex) or

"FDX" (full duplex).

5. If the "Auto Negotiation" entry is

selected, the transmission type and

transmission rate in the PROFINET

network will be automatically detected

and set.

6. If the "LLDP" switch is selected, the

HMI device exchanges information

with other HMI devices.

7. Enter a network name for your HMI

device in the "Device name" field

under "Profinet".

The name must meet the following

conditions.

– A maximum of four blocks with up

to 63 characters each. Example:

"Press1.Fender.Bodywork.Hall3"

– Characters "a" to "z", numbers "0"

to "9"; special characters: "-"
