PROFINET configuration files
SETTING UP A PROFINET CONNECTION (CPUM SW VERSION 081 OR LATER)
10.6PROFINET configuration files
As the PROFINET software interface builds on the existing Modbus interface, the existing
Modbus configuration file (modbusDefault.cfg) is still used, as shown in Figure 10-3.
However, to support the additional PROFINET layer, an additional PROFINET configuration
file (profinet.cfg) is also required, as shown in Figure 10-3.
For more information on the Modbus configuration file, as used for PROFINET,
see 10.6.1.1 modbusDefault.cfg file. For more information on the PROFINET configuration
file, see 10.6.1.2 profinet.cfg file.
For general information on how to work with the Modbus and PROFINET configuration files,
see 2.5 Working with configuration files and 2.6 CPUM card configurations.

10.6.1.1 modbusDefault.cfg file
Figure 10-4 is an extract from a typical modbusDefault.cfg configuration file. When used
for PROFINET communications, this configuration file is basically the same as for Modbus
but extended using additional PROFINET tags. The communication parameters are defined
in the [RTUx], [TCP] and [GLOBAL] sections of this configuration file.
As show in Figure 10-4, for PROFINET communications, PROFINET is activated in the
[GLOBAL] section using the IS_PROFINET_ACTIVATED flag:
