Hello biguri you will not "see" all availableports of your X208 switch in HWconfig, it isjust a Profinet I/O device as far as the S7 CPU (the Profinet I/O Controller)is concerned. To define the Topology, you'll need to right click on the X208 switchand select "Profinet I/O Topology" from the drop down menu. Having said that, definition of the Profinet Topology is optional, your Profinet I/O network should work whether you configurethe Topologyor not. Please note though that the X208 is a managed switch (not an unmanaged one nor a hub) and requires some configuration to start with (see its manual belwo for more). Here are some hopefully useful linksto get you started with your task and please revert back here for more questions if they don't: PROFINET IO - Configuration & Diagnostics Industrial Ethernet Switches SCALANCE X-200 / XF-200 Operating Instructions Network topology with SCALANCE I hope this helps |

Hi, About Layers i would say try google and wikipedia: OSI-Model About the Scalance W. You first have to assign a IP-Adress to the device with for example the Primary Setup Tool, download is available on this website. Just use the search box. As you have assigned an IP-Adress to the devices you can enter the Web Based Management to set all the parameters. See Chapter 3.2 of the manual in the link below. I just wonder or you've had a look in the product manuals for the Scalance W products you use. There is some information about the different MC-modes available. See Chapter 3.1.8 in the manual linked below. SCALANCE W-700 Configuration Manual |

Hi, If you've checked everything I've mentioned and they are in factory default mode I don't know what to suggest anymore except for getting somebody onsite with the apropriate knowledge. But are you really sure that the P1 LED is lit up greenif it's connect to either the switch or the the PC?If this is the case and you are able to discover other devices with the PST-Tool I would suggest to change the IP-Address of the PC to be sure that there is no conflict due to duplicated IP-Addresses. About the firmware updates there are 2 Hardware Versions for Scalance available from which each has it's own firmware. Either you have the old or you have the new. In both cases I'm almost sure that the devices are not update. Firmware downloads: Download for SCALANCE W-700 firmware update: Download of firmware update V4.3.37 Download of SCALANCE W-788 Firmware Update for "old HW": Download of Firmware Update V3.4.11 I also guess that there already was a configuration available in the devices due to the LED behavior you described. Or it is because of the devices are loaded with a firmware version lower then v3.0.x. |
