PROFINET engineering
Connecting and removing PROFINET cables
Changes in the PROFINET network might have an impact on the functionality of the
control system.
10.1 Operation as device
For operating as device, you have to configure it in the engineering tool of the used
PROFINET controller.
You have to carry out the following basic steps:
1.
Install the GSDML file. The ibaBM-PN will be integrated in the hardware catalog in
PROFINET IO -> General -> iba AG -> iba BM -> ibaBM-PN busmonitor.
2.
Insert the ibaBM-PN device in the configuration of the PROFINET controller.
3.
Assign at least one module to a slot of the device.
4.
Adapt the PROFINET network configuration, if required (e.g. sending clock cycle,
synchronization…).
5.
Assign the configured device name.
You find the GDSML file on the “iba Software & Manuals“ DVD under
\02_iba_Hardware\ibaBM-PN\01_GSD_File\
Substitute values
During connection loss to the PN controller 0 will be used as substitue value for analog
and digital values.
Maximum amount of process data
The maximum amount of process data is determined by the maximum telegram size (net
1440 bytes of IOCR data) and the number of subslots with input or output data (param-
eters in the GSD file).
The maximum data length in bytes is:
Max. number of input bytes = MaxInputLength - 4 - (number of input-subslots) –
(number of output-subslots)
Max. number of output bytes = MaxOutputLength - 4 - (number of input subslots) –
(number of output-subslots)
A submodule containing both input and output data must be counted as input subslot
and as output subslot.
