Fieldbus interfaces
5.7.1
General fieldbus parameters in BVS Cockpit
The fieldbus parameters are set in the System settings on the Communication tab. Here the selection is also made be-
tween PROFINET or EtherNet/IP. PROFINET is preselected by default. The fieldbus can be changed at any time be-
tween PROFINET and EtherNet/IP.
The Communication tab contains various parameters to choose from depending on the fieldbus selected.
5.7.2
PROFINET fieldbus
The communication between the Balluff SmartVision Controller and the host system is done via PROFINET IO.
The system PROFINET IO consists of the following components:
•
IO controller (e. g. PLC)
•
IO device (here the Balluff SmartVision Controller)
In a PROFINET network, IO controllers and IO devices are connected to each other using all common network topolo-
gies: star, line, ring or tree type topologies are possible.
Device master data
To parameterize the IO controller true to type, the device master data in form of a GSDML file are needed. The file is
located on the Balluff website (see www.balluff.com).
Input/output buffer
The data exchange with the host system takes place in the input and output buffer. The size of these buffers must be
configured by the master (IO controller).
NOTE
The possible buffer sizes are stored in the GSDML file. A minimum of 16 and maximum of
1280 bytes can be set in different combinations of input/output buffers.
