3.5Setting the Communication Interface of the VS120 to PROFINET

First, switch on the power supply of the evaluation device VS120 for the initial startup.

At the initial startup, "Factory Settings Used" appears on the LCD display.

Confirm with "OK".

The VS120 will then perform a self test:

After completion of the self test, "Adjust" appears on the LCD display

Press OK to get to the main menu

At any additional start of the SIMATIC VS120, the evaluation device VS120 performs the following self test:

Checking the stored settings and model data

Checking the Ethernet connection

If needed, checking the connection to PROFINET IO

If needed, checking the Ethernet RS232 converter or TCP server and to the PC/PG <<?>>

If needed, checking whether it is possible to exchange data from and to PROFIBUS DP

Function check of the sensor head

If needed, checking the connection for archiving the model data

If the self test ran without a fault, the following is indicated on the LCD display: the main menu, the display "Adjust", or the RUN menu, depending on the status at the last switch-off.

You may have to press ESC several times to get to the main menu

In addition, we navigate in the LCD display between the menus, and make entries.
