C410 v4B Profinet® Set-up and Connectivity
Profinet® Infrastructure
The communication link between the Windows environment and the
XCell™ ATF
Controller is
based on Profinet®. Profinet® is an open Industrial Ethernet standard developed by the
PROFIBUS Organization and is standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3). The Profinet® communication
protocol sends and receives data using the open Ethernet TCP/IP standard at a bandwidth of
100 Mbit/s and functions identical to traditional industrial Ethernet in providing “real
-
time”
channel for time-critical communications (i.e. process data)
Configuration
The communications interface between the controller HMI and PLC is based on Profinet
(Industrial Ethernet). The controller is factory set to the following IP settings:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
HMI
192.168.1.167
255.255.255.0
None
PLC
192.168.1.168
255.255.255.0
None
This factory default setting has the HMI and PLC on the same subnet allowing proper
communications to take place. If ‘####’ appears in input fields and the software version is not
displayed on the administration screen, the HMI and PLC may not be properly connected and
the connection may need to be reset. See below for instructions on how to set IP Addresses
and connections.
