NOTICE
Each device with Ethernet interface is uniquely identified via the MAC address assigned during
production. The MAC address is also listed on the name plate of the device.
If multiple devices are commissioned in a system, the MAC address of each installed device
must be correctly assigned, e.g., during programming of the control.
Ä Remove the "Address Link Label" from the device.
Ä If necessary, add the IP address and the device name to the "Address Link Label".
Ä Affix the "Address Link Label" in the documents, e.g., in the installation diagram, according to the posi-
tion of the device.
8.1.1 PROFINET‑communication profile
The PROFINET communication profile defines how participants serially transmit their data via the transmis-
sion medium. Data exchange with the devices occurs primarily cyclically. For configuration, operation, ob-
servation and alarm handling, acyclic communication services are, however, used as well.
Depending on the communication requirements, PROFINET offers suitable protocols and transfer methods:
• RealTime communication(RT) via prioritized Ethernet frames:
• Cyclical process data (I/O data stored in the I/O area of the control)
• Alarms
• Clock synchronization
• Neighborhood information
• Address assignment/address resolution via DCP
• TCP/UDP/IP communication via standard Ethernet TCP/UDP/IP frames:
• Establishing communication
• Acyclic data exchange, i.e., transfer of various types of information:
Parameters for the module configuration while communication is being established
I&M data (Identification & Maintenance functions)
Reading diagnostic information
Reading I/O data
Writing device data
8.1.2 Conformance Classes
PROFINET devices are categorized into conformance classes to simplify the evaluation and selection of
the devices for the users.
The BPS corresponds to Conformance ClassB (CC-B) and can use an existing Ethernet network infra-
structure.
The BPS supports the following features:
• Cyclical RT communication
• Acyclic TCP/IP communication
• Alarms/diagnostics
• Automatic address assignment
• I&M0 functionality
• Neighborhood detection basic functionality
• FASTEthernet100 Base-TX/FX
• Convenient device exchange without engineering tools
• SNMP support
