AC500 PROFINET
Communication Types

PROFINET provides different kinds of communication types

PROFINET NRT (non-real-time)

e.g. process automation
TCP/IP, UDP/IP

PROFINET RT (real-time)
e.g. factory automation

PROFINET IRT (isochronous real-time)

e.g. motion control

PROFINET IO RT
(Processed Fieldbus Ethernet)

PROFINET IO RT Features
Standardization organization IEC 61158

Nomenclature: Controller (Master) / Device (Slave)

Bus Topologies: Bus, Star, Tree

No direct Slave to Slave communication possible

AC500 PROFINET
PROFINET IO-Transfer Mechanism

PROFINET IO is not a typical master/slave communication

The process data are transmitted cyclically
IO Controller sets the communication basic cycle as the master
(SendClockFactor)
Cycle time for data transfer can be preset for each IO Device
due to optimize bus load
Cycle time is as set for each IO Device. Output data are sent by
IO Controller, input data are sent by IO Device.
Acyclic communication is used for parametrizing, diagnosis,
alarm messages

PROFINET Standardization (1)

Each PROFINET IO Device has its own electronic data sheet,

the General Station Description File (GSDML)
The GSDML files are usually supported by vendor (see also
PROFIBUS user organization: http://www.profibus.com)
PROFINET defines 3 conformance classes:
CC A, CC B, and CC C.
AC500 PROFINET RT is certified to be conform to the class
CC A
