11 PROFIsafe and PROFINET
11.1 Overview
The safety laser scanner is designed as a modular field device and is a PROFIsafe device that communi-
cates cyclically with the assigned PROFIsafe control.
The device can be operated as a single device (standalone) with individual device name in a PROFINET-
IO star or tree topology. The control must communicate this device name to the participant during the de-
vice naming (see chapter 11.4 "Configuring for the Siemens TIA Portal").
By means of the integrated 2-port IRT switch, operation in a linear or ring topology is also possible.
Performance characteristics
The device has the following performance characteristics:
• A GSDML file is available for the device description
• The device family is certified as a PROFINET-IO device according to V2.34
• PROFINET-IO with real-time (RT) communication
• The device family is certified as a PROFIsafe device:
• Integrated 2-port IRT switch
• Standard Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) connection (M12 or push-pull technology)
• Auto-crossover and auto-negotiation
• Cyclical data exchange
• Detection of topology errors
• Identification & maintenance functions (I&M) IM0–IM4
• The IP address, the PROFIsafe address or the name assignment is set using, e.g., the Siemens
STEP7 or TIA development environment or comparable tools
• Cycle time: min. 1ms (MinDeviceInterval=32)
• Function range acc. to Conformance ClassC
• Network classIII, security level1
Communication
Basic communication and integration takes place via the GSDML file (see chapter 11.2 "GSDML file"). The
modules of the GSDML file do not support any configuration of the device functionality. Configuration is
performed using the SensorStudio configuration software (see chapter 4 "Configuration and diagnostic
software SensorStudio").
Each device has a unique MAC address (Media Access Control) that is specified on the name plate. The
MAC address (MAC-ID) is linked to an IPaddress during the course of configuration. The MAC address
can be found on the name plate.
On delivery, the device is assigned the following network address:
• IP address: 0.0.0.0
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Electrical connection
For the electrical connection of the supply voltage and the interface, M12 connectors/sockets or AIDA
push/pull connectors/sockets are mounted on the device (see chapter 8 "Electrical connection").
