The following table provides you with an overview of the system and standard functions for
SIMATIC, whose functionality must be implemented by other functions when converting from
PROFIBUS DP to PROFINET IO.

You cannot use the following SIMATIC system and standard functions with PROFINET IO:
• SFC 7 (trigger hardware interrupt on DP master)
• SFC 11 (synchronize groups of DP slaves)
• SFC 72 (read data from a communication partner within local S7 station)
• SFC 73 (write data to a communication partner within local S7 station)
• SFC 74 (abort an existing connection to a communication partner within local S7 station)
• SFC 103 (determine the bus typology in a DP master)
