Diagnostic electronics with PROFINET-IO interface for vibration sensors
18
Requirement
Parameter
Description
Simple Network Management Protocol
A UDP-based communication protocol (User Datagram Proto-
col) for maintenance and monitoring of network components.
PROFINET uses this protocol, for example, for creating topol-
ogy information.
7.6.2 LLDP - Link Layer Discovery Protocol
Requirement
Parameter
LLDP
Yes
Description
Link Layer Discovery Protocol
The LLDP is a manufacturer-independent layer-2 protocol
specified to IEEE 802.1AB standard. It contains information
about network topology and devices used for administration
and error diagnostics.
The information collected via LLDP is stored in an MIB (Man-
agement Information Base). The data in the MIB can be read
by SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), for exam-
ple.
7.6.3 MRP - Media Redundancy Protocol
Requirement
Parameter
MRP
Yes
Description
Media Redundancy Protocol
Protocol to implement media redundancy. Implements the
switchover in case a transmission medium fails.
7.6.4 DCP - Discovery and Configuration Protocol
Requirement
Parameter
DCP
Yes
Description
Discovery and Configuration Protocol
DCP distributes the addresses and names of the individual
participants in a PROFINET IO system. DCP allows, for ex-
ample, to assign the IP addresses by means of the symbolic
name.
7.6.5 DCE/RPC - Distributed Computing Environment Remote Procedure
Requirement
Parameter
DCE/RPC
Yes
Description
Distributed Computing Environment Remote Procedure Call
The connectionless DCE/RPC protocol is used for connection
establishment, reading and writing data and reading diagnos-
tics.
7.6.6 PTCP - Precision Transparent Clock Protocol
Requirement
Parameter
PTCP
Yes
Description
Precision Transparent Clock Protocol
