1.7.1
PROFINET IO Device Firmware Versions 2.1 und 3.4
The PROFINET IO Device firmware was revised and expanded and is
available in version 3.4.x.x since June 2010. The PROFINET IO Device
firmware V3.4.x.x compared to V2.1.x.x has the following main changes:
•
IRT (Class 3 synchronized) is supported (only for netX 100/500)
•
ChannelInit is also supported now (V2.1.x.x supports only SystemReset)
•
The API was revised and is only compatible regarding cyclic data
exchange.
If you want to change to V3.4.x.x, then you can read in the
PROFINET IO
Device Migration Guide
which changes are necessary in the application
program to use version 3.4.x.x.
SYCON.net V1.210.x.x and V1.300.x.x can configure PROFINET IO Device
Firmware V2.1.x.x as well as V3.4.x.x.
The development of the PROFINET IO Device firmware V2.1.x.x will not be
continued and delivered.
On the Communication Solutions DVD are both versions V3.4.x.x and
V2.1.x.x available in the directory firmware.
