Hello, is there any way to check the profinet name remotely? I know I can’t use NetNames (“Please keep also in mind that PN-DCP is a layer 2 protocol, so it will not work over a routed network.” https://www.plcnext-community.net/en/discussions-2-offcanvas/plcnext-equivalent-of-ipassign-tool.html#reply-5036) Maybe something from command line? Thanks, Marcello
Hi Marcello, I don’t see the Profinet name in the Web-Based Management pages, but if you can log in to the PLC then you can take a look at the contents of this file: /opt/plcnext/config/Io/PnS/PnS.local.config … which contains the profinet name of the device. I am interested in why you would need to get this from a device that isn’t on the LAN, considering that it’s not only DCP that isn’t routable - also at run-time, all Profinet devices must be in the same LAN as the Profinet controller. ~ Martin.
Hello Martin, it’s because we have a device on the plant acting as a PN device and we would like to check if the profinet name that we would like to have is the same that is actually configured. it worked! Thanks, Marcello
