Updating the firmware of modules, for example, after functional enhancements to the latest
firmware version (update).
Refers to the bonding of conductive elements to ground via a grounding system.
The properties of a PROFINET device are described in a GSD (Generic Station Description)
file, which contains all required information for the configuration.
As with PROFIBUS, you can link a PROFINET device in STEP 7 by means of a GSD file.
In PROFINET IO, the GSD file is in XML format. The structure corresponds to ISO 15734,
the worldwide standard for device descriptions.
Information which is stored in modules and supports the user in checking the plant
configuration and finding the hardware changes.
Industrial Ethernet (previously SINEC H1) is a technology that allows data to be transferred
fail-safe in an industrial environment.
Standard Ethernet components can be used since PROFINET is an open system. However,
we recommend setting up PROFINET as Industrial Ethernet.
IO-Link is a point-to-point connection to conventional and intelligent sensors/actuators via
unshielded standard cable in proven 3-conductor technology. IO-Link is backwards
compatible with all DI/DQ sensors/actuators. Circuit state channel and data channel
designed in 24 VDC technology.
The reference potentials of the control and load circuit of non-isolated I/O modules are
electrically interconnected.
The term parameterization denotes the transfer of parameters from the IO Controller to the
IO Device.
