15.5.3.3 Planning in the PLC
With PROFINET, data organisation is module-based. The available modules are described in the GSDML
file (device description file).
The device description file can be found on the installation CD for the
Application Suite
and on the PC after
installation.

The planning tool in the PLC is used to define which of the available modules are actually in use.
You can connect up to four modules. These modules must be plugged into certain, predefined slots:
Slots
Module
1
Control and status
2
Result data (selection of the user data size)
3
Parameters (selection of the user data size)
4
Trigger data (selection of the user data size)
You can leave out individual modules. For example, only the
control and status
module and the
result data
module may be connected.
The periods for the cyclical data transfer are set during configuration of the PLC. The shortest period
supported by Vision Sensor is 4ms.
Shorter periods reduce the computing power available for feature checking in the Vision Sensor and thus
analysis performance. Longer periods increase the delay during analysis of received data and when
transmitting result data and thus reduce response performance. The period you choose will therefore be a
compromise between these factors.
