Configuring the Laser Marker for use over PNIO
Some operations must be made on the Laser in order to have it working on an
Profinet/IO network; PLC programmers will need to assign on each Laser Marking a
Device Name and make changes to the Firewall Rules: moreover, the User, according to
his application will have to choose the dimension of the Input and Output Memory
Areas. These changes are described in the following paragraphs.
Basic net settings of the Laser Marker
The Datalogic Laser Marking systems can be discovered on an ProfiNet/IO network only
if a number of parameters on the Laser Marker and on the PLC match. The parameters
which should match are the following:

The Device Name of the Laser Marker can be changed following these steps:
a)

the Laser Engine icon in the Windows tray bar.
b)
Once the Laser Configurator is open, select the ‘Network’ voice of the menu from
the left side of the interface and the Device Name can be found under the voice
