Topology rules
Topology rules for RT
● A topology can be, but need not be configured for RT. If a topology has been configured,
the devices must be wired in accordance with the topology.
● Otherwise, the wiring between devices is entirely optional.
Topology rules for IRT
● Mixed operation is not supported by STEP 7 V5.4 SP4, i.e. IRT "high performance"
cannot be combined with IRT "high flexibility" in the same synchronization domain.
● A synchronization domain with IRT "high performance" can contain a maximum of one
IRT "high performance" island. "Island" means that the devices must be interconnected to
match the configured topology. A synchronization master must be positioned in the
relevant island.
● IRT "high flexibility" is subject to the same topology rules as IRT "high performance", the
only exception being that a topology does not need to be configured. However, if a
topology has been configured, the devices must be wired to match the topology.
Device selection in HW Config
Hardware catalog:
The drive unit from the appropriate unit family entry in the hardware catalog must be
configured. For the RT class IRT, these are all entries with the end identification ...PN-V2.2.
GSD:
The names of GSD files for devices which contain IRT end in …PN-V2.2.
9.4.4 Selection of the PROFINET variant
SINAMICS S110 supports the PROFINET variant:
● PROFINET version 2.2 (RT class IRT)
The PROFINET variant required is stored in a separate UFW file for each variant. The
pointer file optboard.txt contains the names of the UFW files to be loaded. The pointer file
refers to PROFINET V2.2 by default.

Identification of firmware version:
The OMI diagnostic channel, parameter r8858 can be read to identify which firmware version
of PROFINET interface is currently loaded.
