Locating the Ethernet (MAC) address on the CPU
In PROFINET networking, a Media Access Control address (MAC address) is an identifier
assigned to adapter cards by the manufacturer for identification. A MAC address usually
encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number.
The standard (IEEE 802.3) format for printing MAC addresses in human-friendly form is six
groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by hyphens (-) or colons (:), in transmission
order, (for example, 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 01:23:45:67:89:ab).
Note
Each CPU is loaded at the factory with a permanent, unique MAC address. You cannot
change the MAC address of a CPU.
The MAC address is printed on the front, lower-left corner of the CPU. Note that you have to
lift the lower TB doors to see the MAC address information.
