8 System integration
The ibaBM-PN device can be integrated into an automation system in many different
ways.
8.1 Data acquisition with 1 device
Figure 3: Data acquisition with 1 device
In the example above, one PROFINET device of the ibaBM-PN is used by a PROFINET
controller. For this purpose, the device has to be entered via the GSDML file in the con-
figuration of the PROFINET controller.
The installation location within the PROFINET line is not relevant. The PROFINET to-
pology can have a linear or a star structure.
8.2 Data acquisition with 2 devices
Figure 4: Data acquisition with 2 devices
In the example above, both ibaBM-PN PROFINET devices are used by one PROFINET
controller. For this purpose, both devices have to be entered via the GSDML file in the
configuration of the PROFINET controller. The two PROFINET devices are connected
with a patch cable.
The installation location within the PROFINET line is not relevant. The PROFINET to-
pology can have a linear or a star structure.
