6 Parameterization and configuration
Parameterization means providing a PROFINET IO device with certain information required for
operation prior to commencing the cyclic exchange of process data. The measuring system requires
e.g. data for resolution, counting direction etc..
The Engineering Tool generally provides an input mask for the PROFINET IO controller, which the
user can use to enter or select the parameter data from a list. The structure of the input box is stored
in the device master file. The number and type of parameters entered by the user depend on the
choice of configuration.
Configuration means specifying the length and type of process data and how these are to be treated.
The Engineering Tool usually provides a graphic interface in which the configuration is entered
automatically. All you need to do then is specify the desired I/O address for this configuration.
The measuring system requires, depending on the desired configuration, a different number of input
and output words on PROFINET.
6.1 Modular structure
Unused configuration options can be hidden on the bus as not all configuration options of the
measuring system can be used at all times.
For this purpose the measuring system is represented as a modular device in the interface of the
configuration software of the PROFINET master.
The relevant configuration list is already pre-configured (Safety (TR), Channel 1 (TR)) when
inserting the measuring system into the master participant list. This is not mandatory and can be
adjusted according to the wishes or even discarded. The aim and purpose of this configuration is to
quickly and easily commission the measuring system with all necessary parameters for a safety-
oriented application.
Each module or submodule requires a different number of inputs and outputs and has a set of
parameter data, which can be set according to the application.
