Profinet IO: Overview and installation in the SICON
To connect to the Profinet IO, the Profinet IO module must be integrated in the SICON.
The module has an internal switch and provides two Ethernet ports.
The cable is connected directly to the RJ45 plug of the Profinet IO module inside the i n-
strument or via external M12 connectors.
When connecting directly to the RJ45 plug, please note that only plugs with a short
and flat design can be used.
In the
Digi.interf. \ General
menu, the
Modul type
must be set to

.
In the
Digi.interf. \ Profinet
menu, the station name, MAC address and connection
status are shown. Moreover, it can be defined here whether the data should only be
read or be read and written.
