Pn Gate - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Function Manual

10.3.7

PN gate

The PN GATE FOR SINAMICS is a PROFINET solution for controller manufacturers or
mechanical equipment manufacturers who wish to simply integrate an interface to a
PROFINET network in their controllers. PROFINET communication is implemented via the
standard Ethernet interface of the controller without the need for a communication module or
an option module.
PN GATE FOR SINAMICS enables control devices with a standard Ethernet interface to be
connected isochronously via PROFINET with IRT to SINAMICS S120 and motion control,
robotics or CNC applications to be implemented with SINAMICS S120 drives. In addition to
the SINAMICS S120, other PROFINET devices (drives, distributed I/O, etc.) can be
connected.
The CBE20 option board is the interface between PROFINET and the customer's control
network. The CU320-2 PN Control Unit communicates via the CBE20 with the network of the
customer.
