PROFINET
Component based Automation
Concept for implementing modular, distributed automation applications on the
basis of open standards and data communication.
Component based Automation is an expansion of Totally Integrated Automation
(TIA).
Device
IN PROFINET CBA: Part of the PROFINET component that contains the
hardware-specific data of the PROFINET component. In SIMATIC iMap, a device
is the software representation of the physical device for which the PROFINET
component was created. It is displayed in the network view of SIMATIC iMap as
an object with one or more bus attachments. The following distinction is made
according to the communication functionality: −> PROFINET devices and −>
PROFIBUS devices.
Interconnection
General: Logical data connection between two objects.
In PROFINET CBA in SIMATIC iMap: Connection between two technological
functions. An output is interconnected with an input of the same type.
Interconnections are represented in SIMATIC iMap by lines.
Network view
In PROFINET CBA: View of the devices and the networks (Ethernet,
PROFIBUS) in SIMATIC iMap.
Plant view
In PROFINET CBA: View of the technological functions of the automation
system and its interconnections in SIMATIC iMap. One chart is displayed in the
plant view.
PROFIBUS device
In PROFINET CBA: A PROFIBUS device has only one PROFIBUS attachment
as a slave. It does not take part directly in PROFINET communication but is
linked using a proxy PROFINET device.
