PROFINET is a data communications protocol for industrial automation and processes. PROFINET IO defines how con-
trollers (IO controllers) and peripheral devices (IO devices) exchange data in real-time.
PROFINET® is a registered trade-
mark of PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. and the standard is maintained by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) ,
an organization headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Only the DXMR90, DXM700, DXM1000, and DXM1200 Controller models support PROFINET IO.
General Station Description Markup Language File
A PROFINET General Station Description (GSD) file is a description of an IO device provided by the device manufacturer in
an XML format (GSDML.xml).
The GSD file is a standardized way of describing the device information to engineering tools and the IO controller and can
work across a variety of tools as a standard set of device information.
DXM PROFINET IO Data Model
The PROFINET IO data model is based on the typical, expandable field device that has a backplane with slots. Modules
have different functionalities.
Modules are plugged into slots. In the PROFINET IO data model, Slot 0, Subslot 1 is reserved for the Device Access Point
(DAP) or network interface.
Configure the DXM Controller for a PROFINET IO Connection
To use PROFINET, follow these instructions.
The PROFINET data type and data size to/from the DXM Controller is configurable. The PROFINET data is processed from
the Local Register of the DXM Controller.
Configure the IO-Link ports in the XML according to the modules selected for each port.
Save and Upload the Configuration File
After making any changes to the configuration, you must save the configuration files to your computer, then upload it to the
device.
Changes to the XML file are not automatically saved. Save your configuration file before exiting the tool and before sending
the XML file to the device to avoid losing data. If you select DXM › Send XML Configuration to DXM before saving the con-
figuration file, the software will prompt you to choose between saving the file or continuing without saving the file.

Using the DXM Configuration Software, go to the Settings › Ethernet screen. 1.
Select Enable PROFINET . 2.
Save the configuration file and upload it to the DXM Controller (see "Save and Upload the Configuration File" on page
16 ).
After PROFINET is enabled, the IP address for the DXM Controller is controlled by the PROFINET host.
3.
Save the XML configuration file to your hard drive by going to the File › Save As menu.
