Configuring The Internal Device And External Controller; Recommended Working Procedure - ABB IRC5 Applications Manual

4 Configuring the internal device and external controller

4.1 Recommended working procedure

General
This section describes the recommended working procedure when installing and
configuring a PROFINET internal device. The working procedure helps to
understand the dependencies between the different steps.
When the IRC5 controller is connected to an external master, the IRC5 controller
acts as an ordinary slave device on the PROFINET network.
Do not configure parameters while exchanging I/O data
It is important to make sure that the PROFINET network is not involved in any I/O
data exchange before configuring the parameters.
If for example the PROFINET internal device is exchanging I/O data with a PLC, it
is not possible to change the IP address or any other settings of the PROFINET
network.
Basic steps
Use this procedure to install and configure a PROFINET device.
