Hi a simple question:
I have a simatic PLC (s7-300) and several ABB Drives on a Profinet Network. It's easy to assign the Profinet name from TIA og Step 7, BUT..
If i have a plant that is commissioned a one of the drives dies and a new drives is installed, then i have to go online and assign the profinet name to the new drive, can't the PLC handle this based on the IP or MAC of the drive???
it's hard for the end user to replace a drive, if a programmer is needed.
