Networking via Profinet (only ZX20TP, ZX21TP)
The ZX20TP or ZX21TP controller can be integrated into a PROFINET network as a
"PROFINET IO Device". There it serves as subsystem and exchanges data with a
"PROFINET IO Controller".
One of the two RJ45 sockets of the "PROFINET IO Device" interface is connected to
the "PROFINET IO Controller" by means of an Ethernet cable. The two RJ45 sockets
are equivalent and have an integrated switch. Thus it is possible to connect another
"PROFINET IO Device".
The GSDML file must be included in the "PROFINET IO Controller" configuration
software. In the software, the input and output data which are exchanged with the
"PROFINET IO Controller" must be configured on slot 1 (output data) or slot 5 (input
data). The input and output data can each comprise up to 64 bytes. PROFINET RT is
supported as protocol standard (not PROFINET IRT). For further information please
refer to the documentation of your "PROFINET IO Controller" configuration software.
To check your configuration, use the LEDs on the device front (see chapter 9
"Diagnostics").
Note:
The GSDML file can be found in XML format on the USB stick that comes
with the program package.
