Interconnection
General: Logical data connection between two objects.
With PROFINET CBA in SIMATIC iMap: Connection between two technological
functions. An output is interconnected with an input of the same type.
Interconnections are represented in SIMATIC iMap by lines.
Network view
With PROFINET CBA: View of the devices and the networks (Ethernet,
PROFIBUS) in SIMATIC iMap.
Plant view
With PROFINET CBA: View of the technological functions of the automation
system and its interconnections in SIMATIC iMap. One chart is displayed in the
plant view.
PROFIBUS device
In PROFINET CBA: A PROFIBUS device has only one PROFIBUS attachment
as a slave. It does not take part directly in PROFINET communication but is
linked using a proxy PROFINET device.
PROFINET
Within the framework of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA), PROFINET is the
consistent continuation of:
- PROFIBUS DP, the established fieldbus, and
- Industrial Ethernet, the communications bus for the cell level.
The experience gained in both systems was and is integrated in PROFINET.
PROFINET as an Ethernet-based automation standard from PROFIBUS
International (previously PROFIBUS Users Organization e.V.) defines a
heterogeneous communication, automation and engineering model.
PROFINET device
With PROFINET CBA: A device on Ethernet is a PROFINET device. A
PROFINET device can also have a PROFIBUS attachment as master and proxy
PROFINET device for PROFIBUS devices.
PROFINET device, proxy
A PROFINET device that has the role of the master for PROFIBUS devices. This
allows PROFIBUS slaves to be included in PROFINET communication.
