- Since in PROFINET the IP-Addess of all slaves are defined at communication startup by the IO Controller, the IP-Address of the IO Device need to be configured in the IP Address Table of the IO Controller.
- Therefore open in the Navigation Area "Configuration → IP Address Table" and set the IP Address, which should be assigned to teh netFIELD IO Device.
Address Table
...
- The Adress table shows on which Address on the Process image of the CIFX Card, which part of the configured IO Data can be found.
Therefore it is needed to indicate where to write through the netFIELD Device to the IO Link Device (IFM Display). - The Table shows, that the Input Process data of the IFM Display, will be available at Offset 8 (perspective of IO Controller)
It also shows, that the Output Process data for the IO Link IFM Display, start at Offset 8.
- Provider and Consumer Status, indicates the IOCS/IOPS which need to be handled.
Please find a more detailed Application Note, concerning the Status Byte handlung, here:
