Parameterization and Commissioning
BC9000 and BC910024 Version: 4.0.0
Fig.11: Network classes
Identical network class
In a communication with another Ethernet devices, the IP address set must have the same network
class. Sample: Your PC has the address 172.16.17.55, which means the coupler must have the ad-
dress 172.16.xxx.xxx (xxx stands for a number between 0 and 255.0 is usually used by the router/
switch and should therefore remain reserved).
In order to see the PC's own address, the command ipconfig can be entered into a DOS window under
Windows NT/2000/XP.
4.4 IP address
Usually the IP address is specified by the PROFINET controller and therefore does not need to be set in the
bus coupler. The bus couplers are addressed via the PROFINET-Name which can be set using various
procedures (see DIP switch settings).
In exceptional cases it makes sense to give the bus coupler an IP address in advance (without connecting
PROFINET), e.g. to access the couplers via KS2000 Software and Ethernet.
4.4.1 IP address
The IP address can be set using four different procedures, and these will be described in more detail below.
Procedure Explanation Necessary components
KS2000
Addressing using the KS2000 configuration software
and DIP switches [}24]
KS2000 configuration software and
KS2000 cable
ARP
Addressing via the ARP table [}25]
PC with network
BootP
Addressing via BootP server [}26]
BootP server
DHCP Addressing via DHCP server DHCP server
4.4.2 Configuration with KS2000
The KS2000 configuration software (from version 3.2.8) can be used to set the TCP/IP address in a dialog
box, or it can be written directly into the registers. DIP switches 9 and 10 (for BK9050 DIP switches 1 and 2
in blue) should both be OFF (0) before switching on.
