1 Safety instructions
Target audience
This description is only intended for trained personnel qualified in control and automation
engineering who are familiar with the applicable national standards.
For installation, commissioning, and operation of the components, compliance with the
instructions and explanations in this operating manual is essential. The specialist personnel is
to ensure that the application or the use of the products described fulfills all safety requirements, including
all applicable laws, regulations, provisions, and standards.
Intended use
The device has a protection rating of IP 20 (open type) and must be installed in an electrical
operating room or a control box/cabinet in order to protect it against environmental
influences. To prevent unauthorized operation, the doors of control boxes/cabinets must be
closed and possibly locked during operation.

Operation
Successful and safe operation of the device requires proper transport, storage, setup,
assembly, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance.
Operate the device only in flawless condition. The permissible operating conditions and
performance limits (technical data) must be adhered to.
Retrofits, changes, or modifications to the device are strictly forbidden.
2 Introduction
Please consider the safety instructions for the product, which can be
found in the FLEXtra PROFINET-Switch manual. You can download
the manual from the website www.helmholz.de in the download area
of the product or use the shown QR code.
This document is intended to explain the initial commissioning of the FLEXtra
PROFINET switch in a standard application case.
3 Preparing the PROFINET-Switch
3.1 Connecting
The FLEXtra PROFINET switch has a redundant power supply. The FLEXtra PROFINET switch must be
supplied with 24 VDC via the supplied connector plug at at least one of the two "-/+" wide-range inputs
(18 - 30 VDC).
The RJ45 sockets "X1 P1 - X1 P16" are used to connect the network devices (PROFINET or Ethernet).
The housing of the PROFINET switch is not grounded. Please connect the functional grounding
connection (FG named FE on front) of the PROFINET switch correctly with the reference potential.

4 Setup and use
4.1 Install GSDML file
You can download the GSDML file for the FLEXtra PROFINET switch from the
website www.helmholz.de in the download area of the product or use the QR code
shown.
You can find the “Manage general station description files” dialog in TIA Portal in
the menu “Options”.

4.2 Setup in the hardware-configuration
After installation, the FLEXtra PROFINET switch is listed in the hardware catalog under "Other field
devices PROFINET IO Network Components Helmholz GmbH & Co. KG Helmholz PN-Switch"
in the hardware catalog. Insert the "FLEXtra PROFINET Switch 16 port" device into the project and
connect it to your PROFINET network.
D By calling up the object properties, you must give the FLEXtra PROFINET switch a unique PROFINET
name in the project and check the IP address for plausibility.
The real device must later be assigned the same name as in the project.

4.3 Setting the port properties
Each port of the PROFINET switch can be individually configured.
“Activate this port”
The port can be switched off here. This option is recommended when
the port should not be used. Unauthorized trespass into the network is
prevented.
Transmission rate / duplex
“Automatic”
The port synchronizes itself automatically with the communication
partner (auto-negotiation).
Transmission rate / duplex
“TP 100 Mbps full duplex”
Fixed specification of the transmission rate. This option is
recommended when connecting PROFINET IO devices.
Monitor
Send a diagnosis by Link Down
Enable autonegotiation
Automatic recognition of the transmission speed and the cable type
(cross or patch cable)
End of detection of
accessible devices
The DCP telegrams for recording accessible devices are not forwarded
from this port. Subscribers behind this port are no longer displayed
under "Accessible subscribers" in the topology. Users behind this port
can no longer be reached by the CPU.
End of topology discovery
LLDP frames for topology discovery are not forwarded on this port.

4.4 Assign the PROFINET switch a name
When the configuration of the FLEXtra PROFINET switch has been completed in the hardware
configurator of the engineering tool, it can be loaded into the PLC.
In order that the FLEXtra PROFINET switch can be found by the PROFINET controller, the PROFINET
device name must be assigned to the PROFINET switch. To this purpose, use the function “Assign device
name”, which you can access in the Online menu with the right mouse button when the PROFINET
switch is activated.
With the “Update list” button, the network can be browsed for PROFINET participants. The PROFINET
device name can be assigned to the device with “Assign name”.
The clear identification of the FLEXtra PROFINET switch is ensured here by the MAC address of the
device. The MAC address of the device can be found on the device front of the FLEXtra PROFINET switch.
If the PROFINET switch has been assigned the correct PROFINET name, it is recognized by the PLC and
configured. If configuration has taken place correctly, the PROFINET “BF” LED is off.
The Helmholz IPSet tool, which can be downloaded at no charge from the
Helmholz website, can also be used to set the PROFINET name. Scan the following
QR code to download the IPSet tool:

4.5 Further configuration and diagnosis via the web interface
Via the web interface, the status of the PROFINET switch can
be queried and further functions can be configured.
Furthermore, a firmware update can be performed via the web
interface.
The web interface can be operated as soon as the device has a
network configuration. The IP address of the device must be
entered as URL.
In the following login dialog the username is "admin" and the
password is the serial number of the PROFINET switch which
can be read at the device side. For the first login the default
password must be changed.
Further information about the web interface can be taken
from the manual.

6 Function of buttons
The "RST" button triggers an immediate restart of the PROFINET switch in which all stored settings are
retained.
With the "FCN" button the PROFINET switch can be reset to factory settings. If the "FCN" button is
pressed during the startup phase of the switch, the orange "SF" LED starts flashing. The flashing indicates
that the switch will be reset to factory settings and restarted immediately after the button is released. The
start-up phase is indicated by the flashing of the "RUN" LED.
