Parameterizing the device
Parameterization with SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal)
SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal) can access the device via the system interface and via
Ethernet.
The "Getting Started" videos are useful for first-time users of SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal).
These can be found in Industry Online Support at:
Guided Tour (https://www.industry.siemens.com/topics/global/en/tia-portal/tia-portal-
framework/tabcardpages/Pages/guided-tour.aspx)
Further guidance for working with the TIA Portal software can be found on the Internet at:

Procedure for handling IP parameters
The IP parameters, consisting of IP address, subnet mask, and router can be assigned in
various ways and transferred to the IO device as described in Chapter Setting up the IP
address (Page 114).
Please note the following points relating to the SIMOCODE ES parameterization software:
● If the IP parameters are managed and assigned to the device via a BOOTP/DHCP tool,
the "Overwrite IP parameters in device" parameter set in the SIMOCODE ES
parameterization software under "PROFINET Parameters → IP Parameters" must not be
active. This ensures that no changes are made to previously set IP parameters when
parameters are downloaded.
● If IP parameters are configured and downloaded to the device with the SIMOCODE ES
parameterization software, the "Overwrite IP parameters in device" parameter under
"PROFINET Parameters → IP Parameters" must be active. This ensures that IP
parameter settings are also written to the device when parameters are downloaded.
Note
Resetting the IP address and reactivating the BOOTP function
In order to restart the BOOTP/DHCP function after
the IP address has been permanently
assigned, "Activate BOOTP/DHCP" (Parameters
→ Ethernet parameters) must be checked.
Note
Restarting the communication interface
Every change to the IP parameters with SIM
OCODE ES in the "Ethernet Parameters" dialog
box requires a restart of the communication interface.
A restart of the communication interface briefly interrupts all Ethernet and EtherNet/IP links
and reestablishes them afterward.
