9.3 PROFINET
9.3.1 Install the GSD file
To map the device in a PROFINET projection software, ifm provides an GSD file. The device
description file contains identification information, supported parameters and process data. The user
can download the GSD file via
.
To add the device to the hardware catalogue of the PROFINET projection software:
u
Download the GSD file of the device.
u
Launch the PROFINET projection software.
u
Install the GSD file.
w
The device is added to the hardware catalogue of the PROFINET projection software.
w
The PROFINET projection software can access the device functions and data.
9.3.2 Integrate the device into a PROFINET project
Using the installed device description in the hardware catalogue, the device can be added to a
PROFINET project.
Requirements:
ü
The GSD file of the device is installed.
u
Create a new project or open an existing one.
u
Open the [Device & networks] view.
u
Add necessary components of the automation network (e.g. PROFINET PLC).
u
Select the device in the hardware catalogue and add it to the network using drag & drop.
u
Establish a logical PROFINET IO connection between the device and the PROFINET PLC.
u
Set the IP configuration of the device’s PROFINET interface.
w
The device has been integrated in the PROFINET project.
9.3.2.1 Use S2 redundancy
The device supports the S2 redundancy. S2 redundancy provides a solution to build a redundant
system for implementation of fail-safe systems. The following constraints apply:
•
Both Application Relations (SR-AR) use the same configuration (submodule settings, connection
parameters).
•
Only one AR can act as a primary SR-AR.
•
Diagnostic messages and alarms are only reported to the primary SR-AR.
•
Data records can be read via any SR-AR.
•
Data records can only be written via the following SR-AR:
– primary SR-AR
– SR-AR that first accesses the device while establishing the connection
9.3.2.2 Use Configuration-in-Run
The device supports the Configuration-in-Run (CiR) function. CiR enables the user to load changes
and extensions of the hardware configuration in the PROFINET configuration software to the PLC
without needing to put the PLC into the “stop” state first.
