6 PROFINET IO
PROFINET IO uses the Ethernet network; so it is also necessary to configure all the parameters relating to it, as described in the chapter Ethernet
network parameter configuration.
6.1 Introduction
PROFINET IO is an industrial standard fieldbus to exchange data. It is able to exchange data also in short time and in real-time.
The reference standard is supported by “PROFIBUS & PROFINET International” and is IEC 61158 and IEC 61784.
The use of this protocol covers the following 2 levels, of the 3 possible ones (IRT, Isochronous Real-Time, is excluded):
TCP/IP for non-critical data and commissioning with reaction times in the range of 100 ms
RT (Real-Time) protocol for PROFINET IO applications with cycle times up to 1 ms (usually 5 ms)
The protocols can be monitored and analysed by using the normal Ethernet analysis tools.
In a PROFINET IO network the data exchange is managed by a master (IO Controller) interfaced with one or more slaves (IO Device).
The peripheral interfacing is implemented in the PROFINET IO. This defines the communication with peripheral devices connected to the field.
In PROFINET IO the process data and the alarms are always transmitted in real-time (RT).
PROFINET IO Systems means:
- PROFINET IO-Supervisor (comparable to a PROFIBUS DP Master Class II): HMI and diagnostics
- PROFINET IO-Controller (comparable to a PROFIBUS DP Master Class I): it exchanges data with connected IO-Devices, contains
the application program (for example: PLC)
- PROFINET IO-Device (comparable to a PROFIBUS DP Slave device): field device connected to the IO-Controller (for example:
sensors, actuators, drives, …)
6.2 Physical interface: GB40A-PROFINET optional board
To use the PROFINET IO fieldbus it is necessary to install the GB40A-PROFINET optional board described in paragraph PROFINET IO
communication module (GB40A-PROFINET).
6.3 General features
The table below summarises the main features of the AD3000 drive PROFINET IO interface available with the GB40A-PROFINET board.
Table 6.1 - PROFINET IO interface main features
For more PROFINET IO info see the above standards.
6.4 Connections
PROFINET IO connectors are standard RJ45 used for the Ethernet communication.
The cables are standard Ethernet cables. Their category must be higher than Cat. 5e.
For the possible topologies refer to standard information for PROFINET IO.
