15.8.8 Profinet
The embedded Profinet interface is a complete Profinet solution for a Profinet IO device. All analogue and
digital components that are needed for a complete Profinet IO interface with soft-real time (RT) are
mounted on the module. The module is based on the Siemens Profinet I/O software technology.
The Profinet module works as an I/O-Device on the Profinet network. The module supports up to 512
bytes of IO for both Input and Output data. The module baud rate is 100Mbit/s (full duplex). The IP-
address can be configured either via DHCP (BootP) or DCP. Three diagnostic LEDs continuously indicate
the actual Profinet status and eventually error messages. The module also supports the normal Profinet
Alarm functionality. In the standard version the module uses a normal RJ45 connector for the bus
connection.
