8.2.4 Parameter data transfer
Data communicaon with PROFINET is characterised by the simultaneous operaon of cyclic
and acyclic services in the network. As an oponal extension, the parameter data transfer
belongs to the acyclic services, which provides access to all device parameters.
•
The access to the device data depends on the PROFIdrive prole.
•
There is always only one parameter request in process (no pipelining).
•
No spontaneous messages are transferred.
•
There are only acyclic parameter requests.
In principle, a IO-Controller can always be used to request parameters from the IO-Device if
the IO-Device is in the DATA_EXCHANGE state.

1.
A "Write.req" is used to transmit the data set (DB47) as parameter request to the IO-
Device.
2.
"Write.res" is used to conrm to IO-Controller that the message was received.
3.
The IO-Controller uses "Read.req" to request the response of the IO-Device.
4.
The IO-Device responds with a "Read.res (-)" if processing is not yet completed.
5.
Aer parameter processing, the parameter request is completed by using "Read.res (+)" to
transmit the parameter response to the IO-Controller.

The iniator species the access to the "DB47" data set in the "Read/Write Block" eld. The
data wrien to this index or read from it contains a header and the parameter request or the
parameter response. The read data or the data to be wrien is contained in the "Data" eld.
