1.3 Communication services 
  CP 443-1 Advanced (GX30) 
16  Manual, 03/2019, C79000-G8976-C256-05 
 
The CP supports the following communication services: 
● 
 
PROFINET IO allows direct access to PROFINET IO devices over Industrial Ethernet. 
PROFINET IO can only be used via the ports of the PROFINET interface. 
–  Prioritized startup 
The CP supports prioritized startup. Per PROFINET IO controller, a maximum of 32 
PROFINET IO devices can be configured that support prioritized startup. Of these 32 
IO devices, simultaneous startup times with values as low as 0.5 s can be achieved by 
up to 8 IO devices. 
–  IRT communication (Isochronous Real Time) with IRT option "high performance" 
IRT communication with the IRT option "high-performance" is possible with 
PROFINET IO. The IRT option "high-performance" optimizes data traffic as the result 
of topology planning. 
Note: IRT with the option "high flexibility" is now only supported when a CP GX20 is 
replaced. 
 
Note 
IRT communication or MRP 
If you are us
ing IRT communication, no media redundancy is supported. 
–  Shared device 
As a PROFINET IO controller, individual submodules of an IO device can be assigned 
to the CP. Read the information in /19/ (Page 122) regarding configuration of 
PROFINET IO systems and shared IO devices. 
● 
 
Use of a SIMATIC S7400 for Component based Automation on the basis of the 
PROFINET standard of the PNO. This standard allows: 
–  Component technology in automation 
–  Communication between intelligent devices is configured graphically instead of 
requiring laborious programming 
–  Vendor-independent, plantwide engineering 
 
Note 
PROFINET CBA versus security function 
If yo
u use PROFINET CBA, you cannot enable the CP for the "Security" functionality. 
● 
S7 communication with the following functions:
 
–  PG functions 
–  Operator monitoring and control functions 
–  Data exchange over S7 connections
