4 PROFINET
4.1 General Considerations
PROFINET is supported from SW Version 02.00
PROFINET transmits parameter data, configuration data, diagnostic data, alarm messages, and process data be-
tween the host system (IO controller) and the controllers that are part of the fieldbus (IO devices). Depending on
their time-critical behavior, data are transmitted via corresponding communication channels.
4.1.1 Communication channels
The process data channel transmits time critical process data. Process data are transmitted cyclically be-
tween the IO controller and the IO devices.
With the process data the controller is actuated.
The IO controller can directly access the process data. In the PLC, for instance, the data are directly assigned
to the IO area.
Process data are e.g. setpoints, actual values, control and status words.
There is one channel for incoming (RX) and one channel for outgoing (TX) information:
Incoming data (Rx data): Process data from the inverter (IO device) to the IO controller
Outgoing data (Tx data): Process data from the IO controller to the inverter (IO device)
Parameter data are transmitted via the acyclic channel.
Usually the transmission of parameter data is not time-critical.
The access to the parameter data uses the PROFIdrive profile.
Examples of parameter data are operating parameters, motor data, and diagnostic information.
The acyclic channel provides access to all drive parameter objects.
Parameter changes must be saved via parameter 0x2022:3 (P700:3)
