4.4 Integrating WCS-PNG210 into the network
To operate the module described in this manual, you will need a GSDML file. The GSDML file
must be imported into the corresponding configuration tool prior to commissioning the module.
The GSDML file can be downloaded from our website: www.pepperl-fuchs.com. Simply enter
the product name or item number in the Product/Keyword search box and click Search.
Select your product from the list of search results. Click on the information you require in the
product information list, e.g., Software.

PROFINET address assignment
On delivery, the interface module does not yet have an IP address. In normal operation (data
exchange mode), the IP address is usually assigned to the module by the PROFIN T IO
controller (PLC). For this purpose, the module has a device name that is used to address it.
PROFINET device name
On delivery, the module does not yet have a device name. The device name is assigned to the
module via the project planning software. The following rules from the PROFIN T specification
apply to the device name:
■
It consists of one or more name parts separated by a dot
■
The total length is 1 to 240 characters.
■
The length of a name part is between 1 and 63 characters.
■
A name part consists exclusively of lowercase letters, numbers, and the hyphen.
■
Neither the first nor the last character of a name part is a hyphen.
■
The first part of the name does not begin with "port-xyz" or "port-xyz-abcde", where a, b,
c, d, e, x, y, and z are digits.
■
It does not have the form "k.l.m.n", where k, l, m, and n are numbers between 0 and 999.
Caution!
Malfunction due to incorrectly configured devices
Incorrectly configured devices can cause malfunction of the plant.
■
Only put devices into operation after they have been configured correctly.
Note!
Various configuration tools are available to allow you to configure the interface module. This
manual describes how to configure a Siemens SIMATIC controller as an example. If you are
using a PLC from a different manufacturer, the process is similar to the one described here.
