Discovery and
configuration
DCP is used by PROFI‐
NET to determine PRO‐
FINET devices and to
make basic settings.
DCP uses the special
multicast MAC address:
xx-xx-xx-01-0E-CF,
xx-xx-xx = Organization‐
ally Unique Identifier
LLDP
Link Layer Dis‐
covery protocol
Not relevant (2) Ethernet II and
IEEE 802.1Q and

(PROFINET)
PROFINET
Link Layer Dis‐
covery protocol
LLDP is used by PROFI‐
NET to determine and
manage neighborhood
relationships between
PROFINET devices.
LLDP uses the special
multicast MAC address:
01-80-C2-00-00-0E
MRP

dancy Protocol
Not relevant (2) Ethernet II and
IEEE 802.1Q and
Ethertype 0x88E3
(PROFINET)
PROFINET me‐
dium redundan‐
cy
MRP enables the control
of redundant routes
through a ring topology.
MRP uses the special
multicast MAC address:
xx-xx-xx-01-15-4E,
xx-xx-xx = Organization‐
ally Unique
Identifier

send clock and
time synchroni‐
sation, based
on IEEE 1588
PTC enables a time de‐
lay measurement
between RJ45 ports and
therefore the send cycle
synchronization and time
synchronization.
PTCP uses the special
multicast MAC address:
xx-xx-xx-01-0E-CF,
xx-xx-xx = Organization‐
ally Unique Identifier

transfer
The PROFINET IO tele‐
grams are used to cycli‐
cally transfer IO data be‐
tween the PROFINET IO
controller and IO devices
via Ethernet.
