16.1.4 Returning Default Settings
The PROFINET Station Name and the PROFINET IP address can be cleared to default
settings. This is useful when already-configured devices need to be moved or replaced in the
PROFINET network. To return the PROFINET fieldbus Net Box to default PROFINET
settings, the power must be on and the fieldbus module must already be enabled (see Section
4.8—Communication Settings Page (comm.htm)). The PROFINET network connection should
be disconnected to ensure the Net Box does not automatically get recommissioned. The steps
are:
1. Remove the Net Box cover (see Section 3.10—DIP Switches and Termination Resistor).
2. Move DIP switch 10 to the ON position.
3. Once the MS LED is blinking red, return DIP switch 10 to the OFF position.
4. Replace the Net Box cover.
5. Disconnect power. The PROFINET Station Name and IP address will be reset when power
is reapplied.
NOTICE: Returning to the PROFINET default settings does not affect the standard
Ethernet and EtherNet/IP settings.
16.1.5 Replacing and Installed PROFINET Fieldbus Net Box
Replacing an installed PROFINET Fieldbus Net Box can easily be done if the Topology of the
PROFINET network was properly defined with the PROFIN
ET engineering tool and the PROFINET controller supports automatic device replacement.
16.1.5.1 Replacement with an Uncommissioned Fieldbus Net Box
1. Remove the power and network connections of the PROFINET Fieldbus Net
Box that is to be replaced. Mechanically unmount the Net Box if necessary.
2. Mount the replacement PROFINET Fieldbus Net Box and connect the power
and PROFINET network connections to it.
3. The new Net Box will automatically be assigned the name and IP address of the
former Net Box.
