PROFINET IO
5.1.1
Introduction
PROFINET is a fieldbus standard of the PROFIBUS Users Organization that defines a
heterogeneous communication and engineering model. As part of PROFINET,
PROFINET IO is a communication concept that is used to implement modular, distributed
applications. The Power Line Booster has a PROFINET interface and can be operated as an
IO device on an IO controller (e.g. SIMATIC PLC) with the provided GSD file (Page 89).
Note
The PROFINET device and the mechanisms for assigning PN names and IP addresses are
only available when the Ethernet connection to (X1P1 or X1P2) is connected.
The Power Line Booster system works with a "shared medium". This means all stations
share one medium.
Topology recognition is not possible with a "shared medium".
The PLB system can forward PROFIsafe. When planning this safety function, you have to
take into consideration the times from the section "Timing and runtimes (Page 72)".
