Configuration Tool

The configuration tool used to configure the PROFINET LAN containing the PNS module
must support PROFINET V2.3 IO Devices.

■
Configure a PROFINET IO-Controller and its PROFINET LAN using the Controller
manufacturer's recommended PROFINET IO configuration tool.
■
Configure the parameters of the PROFINET IO-Controller.
■
Add IO-Devices to the LAN. These IO-Devices can be PAC8000 PROFINET Scanner
modules or third-party IO-Devices. PAC8000 PROFINET Scanners and other types
of IO-Devices use GSDML files to describe their capabilities. The PROFINET IO
configuration tool imports these GSDML files and incorporates the devices into the
configuration.
■
Configure the parameters of the PAC8000 PROFINET Scanners and other
IO-Devices.
■
Configure the communications properties of the PROFINET IO-Controller, PAC8000
PROFINET Scanners, and other IO-Devices.
■
Add PAC8000 IO modules to the PAC8000 PROFINET Scanner..
■
Configure the parameters of the PAC8000 IO modules and other devices in the PNS.
■
When the configuration is ready, use a DCP tool to assign a name to each IO-Device
so the PROFINET IO-Controller can connect to the devices and deliver their
configuration.
■
Store the configuration data from the configuration tool to the PROFINET
IO-Controller.
When the connection between IO-Controller and PNS is in progress, and if a new
configuration download initiated, first the existing connection breaks and the output
modules go into failsafe state (if configured so). Otherwise output modules hold the
last values. This output state continues till a valid output data received from IO-
Controller.
