Setting up the PROFINET IO network

Establishing the PROFINET IO network
26
This section describes how to create, connect and configure the PROFINET
IO network using the CX-ConfiguratorFDT software and the Device DTM's.
1 Select the Network Components (see previous section) and build the
network.
2 Connect the Personal Computer to the Ethernet network. Note that the
PROFINET Scan Tool (for assigning the IO Device names) can only
operate when connected to the Ethernet network.
3 Start the CX-ConfiguratorFDT software and install the appropriate GSDML
files and DTM's for the connected IO Devices.
4 Scan the PROFINET network with the PROFINET Scan View included in
the CJ1W-PROFINET IO Controller DTM. Give the detected IO Devices an
appropriate name according to their position and /or function. It is possible
to give a IO device a temporary IP-address but it will be set/changed later
by the IO Controller.
5 Add the PROFINET IO Controller as parent in the Network View. Configure
the communication parameters to connect to the IO Controller:
•
Set an IP address in the PROFINET IO Controller by using the Network
Scan View.
•
Enter the same IP address in the DTM.
•
Confirm the on-line connection by putting the DTM on-line.
•
Set the PROFINET Names of the PROFINET IO Devices by using the
Network Scan View.
6 Build up the network within CX-ConfiguratorFDT. Add the IO Devices to the
Tree of the network by dragging and dropping from the Device Catalogue.
Assign the I/O modules for each individual IO Device. Use the exact names
given to the IO devices with the network scan tool. Make sure that the IP
address for each item on the network is unique.
7 Allocate the modules of the IO Devices to the intended PLC memory areas.
8 Download the configuration to the IO Controller.
9 Confirm proper operation by checking the Monitoring GUI of DTM and LED
status of the Unit.
Note
A common mistake when implementing IO Controller redundancy, is to download the
same configuration to both IO Controllers, thereby creating an IP address conflict as
well as duplicating the symbolic name. This should be avoided.
