Description
2.3 HMI and SIMOTION SCOUT
2.3.4
HMI or ES via PROFINET
PROFINET is the innovative and open Industrial Ethernet standard (EN 61158) for industrial
automation. With PROFINET, devices can be linked up from the field level through to the
management level.
If a PROFINET network is established, an external HMI/ES that supports PROFINET can
also be integrated into this network and exchange data directly with the SIMOTION device.

This communication does not require any settings to be made for the SIMOTION P320-3.
These are made on the central HMI/ES as described in the documentation or online help for
SIMOTION SCOUT.
