3.3 Interfaces and protocols
NOTICE
Unprotected network environment
The sensor does not provide any IT security. Unauthorized persons might access the sensor.
a) Check the sensor access possibilities.
b) Restrict access rights.
The sensor provides several interface and protocol options (multi-protocol sensor). The avail-
able functions and measuring rates depend on the protocol used.
Available hardware interfaces are Ethernet, USB as well as digital I/O. Available network adap-
tors are Ethernet (192.168.0.50) and USB (169.254.2.1). Logical interfaces are service in-
terface and process interface. The service interface is provided as a web interface.
The active process interfaces can be selected out of 3 variants: PROFINET IO (via Ethernet),
TCP (via Ethernet), USB-HID (via USB). Web interface and process interfaces TCP and USB-
HID utilize proprietary protocols.
The sensor supports one client connection per logical interface. At any time there is read ac-
cess via the protocols. Changing the configuration is only feasible in parameterization mode.
Switching to parameterization mode is via the web interface.
For the exact scope of interfaces and protocols please refer to the data sheet available for
download at www.baumer.com.

3.3.1 PROFINET
PROFINET (Process Field Network) is an open Industrial Ethernet standard from PI (Profibus
and Profinet International) based on existing IT standards (such as UDP).
PROFINET data organization is modular. Data is clustered in logical groups and mapped to the
existing interfaces.
Different PROFINET modules are approved for specific PROFINETPLC slots. PROFINET mod-
ules comprise one to several submodules. Each of these modules is assigned exactly one sub-
module in subslot 1 of the sensor. The submodules are built from several data elements.
Data element update between sensor and controller (PLC) is periodically and module by mod-
ule. The desired update time is defined by control (PLC) configuration. Supported are update
times from 4 ms to 512 ms.
The following tables show the related data elements provided by the individual PROFINET sen-
sor modules.
Data mapping and evaluation in the PLC requires configuration with the respective manufac-
turer-specific tool.
