Example of a PROFINET IO system
Extended Functions of PROFINET IO
The figure below shows you the new functions of PROFINET IO
The figure shows
The interconnection of the
company network with field
level
The interconnection between
the automation system and
field level
The IO controller of the CPU
31x-2 PN/DP (1) controls the
nodes connected to the
Industrial Ethernet and
PROFIBUS directly
A CPU can be both IO
controller and DP master

The figure shows the communication path
From PCs in your company network, you can access devices at the field level
Example:
PC — Switch 1 — Router — Switch 2 — CPU 31x-2 PN/DP (1).
•
You can, of course, also access other areas in Industrial Ethernet from a field PG.
Example:
PG — Switch 3 — Switch 2 — to an IO device of ET 200S (2).
•
At this point, you see the enhanced IO feature between the IO controller and IO device(s)
on Industrial Ethernet:
The CPU 31x-2 PN/DP (1) is the IO controller for one of the ET 200S (2) IO devices.
•
The CPU 31x-2 PN/DP (1) is also the IO controller for the ET 200 (DP slave) (5) via
•
the IE/PB Link (6).
Here, you can see that a CPU can be both IO controller for an IO device as well as DP
master for a DP slave:
The CPU 31x-2 PN/DP (3) is the IO controller for the other ET 200S (2) IO device.
•
CPU 31x-2 PN/DP (3) — Switch 3 — Switch 2 — ET 200S (2)
The CPU 31x-2 PN/DP (3) is the DP master for a DP slave (4). The DP slave (4) is
•
assigned locally to the CPU (3) and is not visible on the Industrial Ethernet.
