Siemens SIMOTION SCOUT User Manual

The following PROFIBUS DP subnet applications are possible:
● PROFIBUS DP isochronous
Compatible extension to the standard PROFIBUS DP:
– Equidistance (constant synchronous bus cycle clock) enables synchronized time slices
for master/slave applications.
– Data exchange broadcast enables slave-to-slave communication.
Digital drives (e.g. SINAMICS, MICROMASTER 4xx, ...) can be connected via
PROFIBUS DP.
In order to be able to operate the SIMOTION device with two isochronous
PROFIBUS DP subnets, isochronous mode and the same bus cycle must be set. The cycle
clock of the subnet of the second PROFIBUS interface is synchronized to the cycle clock
of the subnet of the first PROFIBUS interface.
If the bus cycle does not agree, the second PROFIBUS interface of the SIMOTION device
will be operated as a PROFIBUS DP subnet.
● PROFIBUS DP (MPI)
Standard PROFIBUS DP with DP-V0 and optional DP-V1 or DP-V2 functionality.
– For the connection of distributed I/Os
– For the connection to a higher-level automation system
– For the connection of HMI devices
– For the connection to the SCOUT engineering system
6.4.3.5 Ethernet communication
SIMOTION devices can also be connected to a PG/PC via Industrial Ethernet. Industrial
Ethernet is a communication network with a transmission rate of 1 Gbit/s.
For additional information, refer to the Manual "SIMATIC NET Industrial Twisted Pair and Fiber
Optic Networks." See the SIMOTION Documentation Overview for the Article No.
Examples for the use of Industrial Ethernet:
● For the connection of HMI devices
● For connection to the SCOUT engineering system
● For communication via UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
● TCP/IP
● IT DIAG
6.4.3.6 Communication via PROFINET
SIMOTION devices can be connected to a PROFINET subnet via interface modules or the
onboard PROFINET interface. With PROFINET IO IRT/RT, IT services can be performed in
parallel to realtime communication via an Ethernet cable. PROFINET IO supports parallel
operation of:
● IRT (isochronous realtime Ethernet)
● RT (realtime Ethernet)
