Configuring a VM600 system for operation as a PROFINET IO-Device
SETTING UP A PROFINET CONNECTION (CPUM SW VERSION 081 OR LATER)
10.7Configuring a VM600 system for operation as a PROFINET IO-Device
This section includes an example of PROFINET based communications with a VM600 rack
using Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 software as an example of a PROFINET enabled DCS (see
Figure 10-4). This example illustrates the concepts required for interfacing a VM600 rack to
any DCS that supports PROFINET.
NOTE: In order for PROFINET communications to work, the information defined in the
PROFINET configuration files (modbusDefault.cfg and profinet.cfg) on
the CPUM card must match the information defined in the DCS (such as Siemens
SIMATIC STEP 7).
