5.8 Configuring an IE/PB Link PN IO
Introduction
The IE/PB Link PN IO link module is used as a gateway to ensure that SIMATIC PDM MS has
access to all PROFIBUS DP slaves connected to the lower-level PROFIBUS.
The IE/PB Link PN IO link module connects the two network types, Industrial Ethernet and
PROFIBUS.
Requirement
The project has been created.
Step 1 - Create a SIMATIC 300 station
1. Select the project into which you want to insert the SIMATIC 300 station in the component
view of the SIMATIC Manager.
2. Select the menu command Insert > Station > SIMATIC 300 station.
A new SIMATIC 300 station is inserted into the selected project.
3. Select the SIMATIC PC station, and then select Edit > Object Properties.
4. In the "Name:" input field, enter the name for the SIMATIC 300 station.
5. Click "OK".
Step 2 - Configure IE/PB Link PN IO link module in the SIMATIC 300 station
1. Select the SIMATIC 300 station in the component view of the SIMATIC Manager.
2. In the detailed view, open HW Config by double-clicking the "Hardware" object.
The hardware configuration of the SIMATIC 300 station opens.
3. If the hardware catalog is not visible, select the menu command View > Catalog.
4. Select the device type Gateway – IE/PB Link PN IO in the hardware catalog under "SIMATIC
300".
Note
Note that the IE/PB Link PN IO link module is a special configuration component.
No other components, such as profile rails or modules, can be placed in the S7-300 station
apart from this component.
5. Create an Ethernet network.
6. Assign parameters for the Ethernet network using the following data:
– IP address
– S7 subnet ID
7. Create a PROFIBUS network.
