Chapter 4 PROFINET Interface
Introduction
This chapter provides information about using the PROFINET communications on the EA3600.
Communications Profile
The PROFINET interface on the EA3600 supports PROFINET-IO Device functionality. The device is able to
receive, or be the target of, I/O connections from a PROFINET Controller, but is not able to originate connections
itself.
The interface supports the Generic device profile. The interface is PROFINET Conformance Class A / RT - 1.
GSDML File
The PROFINET GSDML file describes the Identity and I/O capabilities of the EA3600. The file is used by controller
configuration tools to configure the I/O connections and data tags used to communicate with the EA3600 over the
PROFINET network.
The latest GSDML file can be acquired in the Industrial Ethernet Software Package (see Chapter 1, Initial Setup).
Identification and Maintenance Functions
The PROFINET interface supports the I&M0, I&M1, I&M2 and I&M3 record interfaces which provide identification
and maintenance information about the EA3600.
IMPORTANT Read Chapter 2, Ethernet Interface and Chapter 3, Barcode Transfer prior to this chapter. These
chapters provide information about EA3600 behavior that spans all protocols.
