The following list provides examples of when using MPI (Multi Point Interface) may prove
effective:
●
If a PC/programming device is being used with an MPI interface
●
If an OP/TP only has an MPI interface (newer devices have PROFIBUS or PROFINET
interfaces)
●
If SIMOTION and SIMATIC CPUs are coupled via XSEND/XRECEIVE

General information about PROFINET communication
Overview
PROFINET is an open component-based industrial communication system using Ethernet
(IEC 61158) for distributed automation systems.
The PROFINET interface supports operation of SIMOTION D410 PN as IO controller and/or
as intelligent device.
PROFINET distinguishes between the controller and its assigned devices. Controller and
devices form a PROFINET IO system, comparable to a master-slave system on PROFIBUS.
SIMOTION D410 PN supports the following PROFINET communication methods:
●
RT
●
IRT.
Delivery condition
In the delivery condition, the onboard PROFINET I/O interface does not have an IP address
or a subnet mask.

Additional information pertaining to PROFINET communication is available in the
SIMOTION
Communication System Manual.
