Configuring process data
You can configure the process data to be transferred via PROFINET. Various module types, e.g. Byte, Word,
DWord or Real are available in various lengths. The module types are created in the tree view of the System
Manager under the API (Application Process Identifier).
Requirements:
• A PROFINET slave added in TwinCAT
Configure the process data as follows:
1. Right-click on the
API
in the tree view on the left.
2. Click on
Add New Item
in the context menu.
3. Select the required module and enter the number of modules in the field
Multiple
. TwinCAT uses the
GSDML file under:
C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\Io\Profinet
ð
The required number of modules are created under the API (Application Process Identifier). In the next
step you can either rotate the process data, create a virtual slave or create a PLC project.
