9-5 Setting PROFINET IO Data
The IO allocation information maps the IO data in the PROFINET Coupler Unit.The IO Device performs
data exchange with the third party PROFINET IO Controller based on the IO allocation information.
The PROFINET Coupler Unit and the NX Units contain default values for the IO allocation information.
These default values are sufficient for a standard exchange of IO data. Change the settings as neces-
sary.
Configure Profinet IO Controller to connect to PROFINET Coupler Unit using GSDML file.
To configure the PROFINET IO network with the Proinet Coupler Units, it is required to use the third
party IO Controller configuration software. Typically you will need to connect the Personal Computer
directly to the ethernet network.
