System Manual
PROFINETIO
PROFINET IO interface
(X1P1R and X1P2R)
The CPU has an X1 interface with two ports (X1P1R and
X1P2R).
• The PROFINETIO interface X1 (defaultP1R) is used to
set up the PROFINET ring or PROFINET network (e.g.
line topology, mixed topology) with the two CPUs
and the IO devices.
• The interface supports PROFINETIO RT (Real-Time)
and PROFINET basic functionality.
Basic PROFINET functionality comprises:
– HMI communication
– Communication with the configuration system
– Communication with a higher-level network
(backbone, router, Internet)
– Communication with another machine or auto
mation cell
PROFINET interface (X2P1) The CPU has an X2 interface with one port (X2P1).
The interface supports PROFINET basic functionality.
H‑Sync interfaces (X3P1
and X4P1)
Die CPU has an X3 interface with one port (X3P1) and an
X4 interface with one port (X4P1).
The X3 and X4 interfaces are reserved for the synchroniz
ation of the two CPUs.
Synchronization modules Make the redundancy connections between the two
CPUs via the synchronization modules with fiber-optic
cables.
You plug each synchronization modules in the X3 and X4
interfaces.
Fiber-optic cables You connect the two synchronization modules in pairs to
each CPU via a fiber-optic cable.
Operation of the CPUs as IO
controllers
IO controller:
As IO controllers the CPUs address the following con
figured IO devices:
• IO devices with system redundancy S2
• IO devices with system redundancy R1 (as of FW ver
sion V3.0)
• Standard IO devices (switched S1 devices)
• Redundant System S7‑1500R/H
