Fieldbus Systems for SIMATIC S7

N
To connect distributed I/Os, there are different bus systems.
AI
The most important for SIMATIC S7 are:
• PROFINET
As the standard for communication applications at the field level it enables the connection of
distributed field devices via Industrial Ethernet.
The Industrial Ethernet network is a local area network (LAN) according to the international
Standard IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and is designed for the industrial sector. It enables open and
comprehensive network solutions with a high transmission performance.
TR

• PROFIBUS
It is the bus system for local area networks (LANs) with only a few participants. Through its
fulfillment of requirements according to EN 50170, PROFIBUS ensures openness for the
connection of standard-conforming components of all manufacturers.
Due to the physical and communication-related differences of the two bus systems, there are
various criteria which are used for the selection of the most suitable bus system.

Cable Length, Segment Length

For PROFIBUS, a module line has to be reinforced after 100-1000m (depending on the
SI

transmission speed used); otherwise, the maximum bus length is reached.

For PROFINET, every connected component takes over this function. For that reason, only the
cable length between two modules is relevant here.

Distributed I/O Devices
During start-up, the CPU searches the configured PNIO devices or DP slaves and parameterizes
these according to the loaded device configuration.
AI
Both fieldbus systems use different methods for identifying I/O modules:
• PROFIBUS
The set PROFIBUS address is used to search for the configured DP slave.
The setting is typically made through the DIP switch on the slave.
• PROFINET
TR

The assigned device name is used to search for the configured PNIO device.
The assignment of the device name (device initialization) is done from the STEP7 engineering
through an online function.
The parameterized IP address is then assigned to the PNIO device by the PNIO controller
(CPU).

PROFINET
N
It completely covers the requirements of automation. PROFINET brings together the expertise of
PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet. The utilization of the open standard, the easy handling and
AI
the integration of existing parts of a system (e.g. a plant) determined the definition of PROFINET
right from the beginning.

PROFINET IO
With PROFINET IO, the integration of distributed field devices takes place directly on the
Ethernet. For that, the Master-Slave procedure from PROFIBUS DP is carried over into a
TR

Provider-Consumer model. From the communication point of view, all devices on the Ethernet
have equal rights. Through the configuration, however, the field devices are assigned to a central
controller. The distributed I/O device reads-in the I/O signals and transfers them to the controller.
The controller processes them and transfers the outputs back to the distributed I/O device.

PROFIdrive
With PROFIdrive, very fast, clock-synchronous drive controls for high performance Motion Control
applications are implemented.

PROFIsafe
SI

With PROFIsafe, the network infrastructure already existing for standard communication can also
be used at the same time for fail-safe communication. The existing bus protocols, such as,
PROFIBUS and PROFINET (so-called "black channel") are used to transport fail-safe data as
additional data (so-called PROFIsafe layer).

PROFIenergy
PROFIenergy permits a coordinated and centrally controlled switch off of power consuming
devices during break times. In this way, the process uses only the absolute necessary energy.
The process itself saves the majority of the energy, the PROFINET device itself only has a
savings potential of several watts. For PROFIenergy, this operating state is called "Pause".

PROFINET IO-Controller
N
The IO-Controller (typically the PLC) establishes a logical connection to the connected IO-
Devices after Power-On and subsequently parameterizes these (module parameters, address,
AI
etc.). (This corresponds to the function of a Class 1 Master in PROFIBUS).

PROFINET IO-Device
An IO-Device is a distributed IO device that is connected via PROFINET IO (this corresponds to
the function of a slave in PROFIBUS).
Differentiation is made for the following IO-Device types:
TR

• Compact IO-Device: Fixed degree of expansion.

• Modular IO-Device: Variable degree of expansion; can be expanded or reduced as required.
• Intelligent IO-Device: A PLC is configured not as an IO-Controller but as an IO-Device and
provides a higher-level controller with I/O data.

IO-Supervisor
This can be a programming device (PG), personal computer (PC) or Human Machine Interface
(HMI) for commissioning or diagnostic purposes. (This corresponds to a Class 2 Master in
SI

PROFIBUS).

Ethernet Switch
PROFINET is based on Ethernet. For that reason, switches are always used as "network
distributors". Every node is connected to a switch via a so-called "point-to-point" connection. This
is also referred to as a "Switched Ethernet". In most PROFINET devices, a 2 or multi-port
switch is already integrated so that it is very easy to establish a line structure (comparable to
PROFIBUS).

Internet Protocol
N
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the basis for all TCP/IP networks. It creates the so-called datagrams
(data packets specially tailored to the Internet protocol) and handles their transport within the
AI
local subnet or their "routing" (forwarding) to other subnets.

IP Addresses
IP addresses consist of 4 bytes. With the dot notation, each byte of the IP address is expressed
by a decimal number between 0 and 255. The four decimal numbers are separated by dots
(see picture).
TR

PROFINET Device Name

In PROFINET, each RT / IRT device must be assigned a unique device name that is retentively
stored in the device. A module exchange without PG/PC is made possible through the device
names.

MAC Address
Every Ethernet interface is assigned a fixed address by the manufacturer that is unique
worldwide. This address is referred to as the hardware or MAC address (Media Access Control).
It is stored on the network card and uniquely identifies the Ethernet interface in a local network.
SI

Cooperation among the manufacturers ensures that the address is unique worldwide.

Subnet Mask
The subnet mask specifies which IP addresses can be accessed in the local network. It separates
the IP address into the network and device part.
Only IP addresses whose network part is the same can be accessed.
e.g.: Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 and IP address = 192.168.111.10
accessible IP addresses: 192.168.111.1 to 192.168.111.254

Real-time Channel
N
To be able to fulfill real-time requirements in automation, an optimized real-time communication
channel, the Real time Channel (RT Channel), was specified in PROFINET. It uses Ethernet
AI
(Layer 2) as a base.
The addressing of the data packets does not take place in this case via an IP address, rather by
means of the MAC addresses of the participating devices. Such a solution minimizes the
throughput times in the communications stack considerably and leads to an increase in
performance with regards to the updating rate of automation data.
TR

IRT Channel
Isochronous Real-time (IRT) as a further development with the following features:
• Clock-synchronous data transmission
• Cycle times <1ms with jitter accuracy <1µs
• Typical field of application is Motion Control

IT Standards
The design of PROFINET WEB Integration focuses on commissioning and diagnostics. Access to
SI

a PROFINET device from the Internet or Intranet is done with standard protocols (for example,
http). The data is transmitted in standard formats such as HTML or XML and can be presented
with standard browsers such as Opera or Internet Explorer.
This worldwide accessibility makes it easy for the application manufacturer to support the user
with commissioning, device diagnostics etc. Access to the data is done via Web servers which
are integrated in the modules.

AR
Inserting Distributed I/O
N
PROFINET IO-Devices are added in the Network view. Here, you can insert the relevant devices
AI
into the project by dragging & dropping them from the Hardware catalog. The correct Firmware
must also be selected here before the device is inserted.
The new device (ET 200SP) is stored in the "Ungrouped devices" folder.
Furthermore, there is a link to the ET 200SP in the "Unassigned devices" folder since it is not yet
assigned to a controller.

Networking Distributed I/O

TR

After the ET 200SP IO-Device is added, it must be assigned to an IO-Controller or networked with
a CPU. In case there are several CPUs in the network, a co-ordination or monitoring of the I/O
addresses by the IO-Controller and IO-Device can only be done through this unique assignment.
If the ET 200SP is assigned to a Controller, the link is stored in the "Distributed I/O" subfolder of
the Controller.
The actual device is still stored in the "Unassigned devices" folder.
SI

I/O Modules
Just as for a CPU, the individual input and output modules can be configured and assigned
parameters in the Device view. For this, the device is selected and the Device view opened or in
the Device view, the relevant device is selected via the selection menu.

14.4.1. PROFINET IO Device ET 200SP:

Assigning the IP Address and Device Name OFFLINE

AR
IP Address, Subnet Mask and PROFINET Device Name
N
AI
For communication with the IO-Controller, a PROFINET device name must be assigned to the IO-
Device (ET 200SP) OFFLINE. The IO-Controller then assigns the IO-Device a valid IP address. If
the IO-Device is assigned an IP address OFFLINE, this IP address is adopted. These parameters
are downloaded to the IO-Controller (CPU) with the programming device. The IO-Controller
(CPU) then transfers these and other parameters (such as, the I/O addresses) to the IO-Device
(ET 200SP).

Attention:
TR

Only the PROFINET device name is relevant for the transmission of the offline configuration into
the online device (Controller), not the IP address. The offline configured PROFINET device name
and the online existing PROFINET device name must match. If the IO-Device has a different
PROFINET device name or doesn’t have a name at all, the IO-Controller cannot transfer the
hardware configuration or the hardware parameter assignments to the IO-Device thus preventing
a PROFINET system startup.

Note:
The IP addresses can also be entered directly in the Network view in the graphic area. For this,
SI

the IP addresses must be displayed with the help of the button.

IP Address and PROFINET Device Name

N
The PROFINET device name of the IO-Device configured offline and the device name existing

AI
Devices and then assigns the configured IP addresses during system startup. If an IO-Device is
not accessible under its configured device name, the IO-Controller cannot establish a connection
to the IO-Device.
The IP address of the IO-Device configured offline and the address existing online do not have to
match. The PROFINET name is relevant for the downloading of the hardware configuration. If it
exists, the online existing IP address is overwritten with the offline configured IP address.
TR

Ways of Assigning a Name Online

In principle, there are two ways of assigning a PROFINET device name to an IO-Device online:
Version 1 (safe, since there is no chance of typing errors)
The assignment of the device name is triggered from the device configuration of the IO-Device.
Device configuration of IO-Device  Right-click on the Interface module (Slot 0)  Assign device
name (see picture).
The advantage of this version is that the offline configured device name is adopted 1:1 and so no
SI

typing errors can be made.

Version 2 (typing errors possible)
The assignment of the device name is triggered via "Online access":
Project tree  Online access  Ethernet interface  IO-Device  Online & diagnostics 
Functions  Assign name

Task
N
In the following exercises, in order to be able to configure an ET 200SP in the offline project
which corresponds exactly to that of the training device, you now have to read out the Firmware
AI
version of the ET 200SP online.

Problem
Due to the previous "Reset to factory settings", the ET 200SP now no longer has a PROFINET
device name nor an IP address, only a MAC address (see top picture). The Firmware version,
however, cannot be read out via the MAC address, since an IP address is required for this
TR

diagnostic service.

What to Do
1. Open the ET 200SP, activate the "Online & diagnostics" function and check whether the
