PROFINET for the DXM Models
6. PROFINET
®
PROFINET is a data communications protocol for industrial automation and processes. PROFINET IO defines how controllers (IO controllers)
and peripheral devices (IO devices) exchange data in real time. PROFINET
®
is a registered trademark of PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V.
and the standard is maintained by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) , an organization headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Only the DXMR90, DXM700, DXM1000, and DXM1200 Controller models support PROFINET IO.
6.1. General Station Description Markup Language File
A PROFINET General Station Description (GSD) file is a description of an IO device provided by the device manufacturer in an XML format
(GSDML.xml).
The GSD file is a standardized way of describing the device information to engineering tools and the IO controller and can work across a variety
of tools as a standard set of device information.
6.2. DXM PROFINET IO Data Model
The PROFINET IO data model is based on the typical, expandable field device that has a backplane with slots. Modules have different function-
alities.
Modules are plugged into slots. In the PROFINET IO data model, Slot 0, Subslot 1 is reserved for the Device Access Point (DAP) or network
interface.
6.3. Configure the DXM Controller for a PROFINET IO Connec-
tion
To use PROFINET, follow these instructions.
1. Using the DXM Configuration Software, go to the Settings > Ethernet screen.
2. Select Enable PROFINET.
3. Save the configuration file and upload it to the DXM Controller (see Save and Upload the Configuration File on page 24).
S
TEP RESULT: After PROFINET is enabled, the IP address for the DXM Controller is controlled by the PROFINET host.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK:
The PROFINET data type and data size to/from the DXM Controller is configurable. The PROFINET data is processed from the Local Register
of the DXM Controller.
Configure the IO-Link ports in the XML according to the modules selected for each port
