3. Project planning for PROFINET switch
Following installation, the PROFINET switch can be found in the hardware catalog
under "PROFINET IO -> Additional Field Devices -> Network Components ->
Helmholz PN-Switch". Add the "PROFINET Switch, 4-port" device to the project and
connect it with your PROFINET network.
2. Preparing the PROFINET switch
2.1 Connection
The PROFINET switch must be supplied with 24 V DC at the wide range input
18 – 30 V DC via the provided connector plug. The terminal (FG) is for the functional
ground. Connect this correctly with the reference potential.
The RJ45 sockets “P1 – P4”(4-port switch) and “P1 – P8” (8-port switch) are for the
connection of the network.
2.2 Install GSDML file
The GSDML file can be found on the accompanying CD or in the download area of
the PROFINET switch at www.helmholz.de.
