PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet
Communication for PC-based systems
SOFTNET PN IO
2
■
Application
Using SOFTNET PN IO, PCs can be linked with PROFINET field
devices including PC-based PN IO devices (e.g. with CP 1616
or CP 1604) via Industrial Ethernet.
SOFTNET PN IO is available for the following interfaces:
•
CP 1612 A2
•
Integral Industrial Ethernet interfaces of SIMATIC
programming devices/PCs
■
Function
PROFINET communication
PROFINET IO controller
Connection of field devices to Industrial Ethernet with PROFINET
User interfaces
OPC interface
The supplied OPC server can be used as a standard program-
ming interface for PROFINET IO controller to link automation ap-
plications to OPC-capable Windows applications (Office, HMI
systems, etc.).
Programming interface via C Library;
For applications that want to use the PROFINET IO controller
functionality directly over C/C++, the IO-Base interface can be
used. This interface is of a similar design to the DP Base inter-
face of PROFIBUS modules CP 5613 A2 and CP 5614 A2.
It is therefore possible to port existing PROFIBUS DP master
applications to PN IO-Controller applications.
The released compilers can be found in the readme file
of the SIMATIC NET CD products at
.
SOFTNET PN IO and CP 1616 use compatible functions of the
IO-Base interface.
Mode of operation
With SOFTNET, the complete protocol stack is processed in the
PC. This architecture means that the performance depends on
the configuration of the PC used or the loading on the PC.
Configuration
Configuration is performed with STEP 7/NCM PC
