A-2 PROFINET IO Alarm Messages
PROFINET IO is capable of sending events within the automation process as alarms. These alarms

Removal of slices) or userdefined events (i.e. Input voltage out of range).
The following events are distinguished:
PROFINET IO Devices supports sending PROFINET IO Alarm message for different error conditions.
The IO Device supports the following alarm events:
Note 1
In case multiple alarm events (more than two) are generated at the same time, it is possible
alarm events will be discarded.
2
When multiple Slice I/O Units do not match with the PROFINET IO Configuration, only one
Plug Wrong Submodule alarm event is generated for the first mismatching Slice I/O Unit.
