Interfaces
3.4 PROFINET IO interface (only for SIMOTION D4x5-2 DP/PN)
SIMOTION D4x5-2
Manual, 02/2012
57
The SIMOTION D4x5-2 DP/PN then assumes the role of a PROFINET IO controller and can
offer the following functions:
● PROFINET IO controller, I device (also controller and device simultaneously)
● Supports real-time classes of PROFINET IO:
– RT (real-time)
– IRT (isochronous real-time)
The following functions are also supported by Industrial Ethernet:
● Communication between SIMOTION and SIMATIC NET OPC.
The "SIMATIC NET SOFTNET S7 (S7 OPC server)" software must be
installed on the PG/PC for this function.
● Communication with other devices over TCP/IP or UDP communication
● IT communication (via SIMOTION IT DIAG, SIMOTION IT OPC XML-DA, SIMOTION IT
Virtual Machine)
For more information regarding the software packages, see Catalog PM 21, refer to the list
of references (separate document) for the order number.

Second PROFINET interface
The Ethernet Communication Board (CBE30-2) provides as option a second PROFINET
interface for the D4x5-2 DP/PN Control Units.
The CBE30-2 cannot be used in SIMOTION D4x5 2 DP Control Units.
For details, see Section CBE30-2 Ethernet communi
cation board (Page 107).
