Figure 5: Data acquisition with 2 devices and 2 controllers
In the example above, the two ibaBM-PN PROFINET devices are used by different
PROFINET controllers. For this purpose, each device has to be entered via the GSDML
file in the configuration of the respective PROFINET controller.
The installation location within the PROFINET line is not relevant. The PROFINET to-
pology can have a linear or a star structure.

Figure 6: Data acquisition as shared device
In the example above, an ibaBM-PN PROFINET device is used by several PROFINET
controllers. For this purpose, the device has to be entered via the GSDML file in the
configuration of all PROFINET controllers.
When configuring, please make sure that each slot of the device is assigned to exactly
one PROFINET controller. One slot cannot be used by more than one controllers. Both
PROFINET devices could be used as shared devices.
The installation location within the PROFINET line is not relevant. The PROFINET to-
pology can have a linear or a star structure.
