PROFINET
PROFINET for the DXM Models
9. PROFINET
PROFINET is a data communications protocol for industrial automation and processes. PROFINET IO defines how controllers (IO controllers)
and peripheral devices (IO devices) exchange data in real time. PROFINET
and the standard is maintained by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) , an organization headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Only the DXMR90, DXM700, DXM1000, and DXM1200 Controller models support PROFINET IO.
9.1. General Station Description Markup Language File
A PROFINET General Station Description (GSD) file is a description of an IO device provided by the device manufacturer in an XML format
(GSDML.xml).
The GSD file is a standardized way of describing the device information to engineering tools and the IO controller and can work across a variety
of tools as a standard set of device information.
9.2. DXM PROFINET IO Data Model
The PROFINET IO data model is based on the typical, expandable field device that has a backplane with slots. Modules have different function-
alities.
Modules are plugged into slots. In the PROFINET IO data model, Slot 0, Subslot 1 is reserved for the Device Access Point (DAP) or network
interface.
9.3. Configure the DXM Controller for a PROFINET IO Connec-
tion
To use PROFINET, follow these instructions.
Using the DXM Configuration Software, go to the Settings > Ethernet screen.
1.
2.
Select Enable PROFINET.
3.
Save the configuration file and upload it to the DXM Controller (see
S
R
:
After PROFINET is enabled, the IP address for the DXM Controller is controlled by the PROFINET host.

The PROFINET data type and data size to/from the DXM Controller is configurable. The PROFINET data is processed from the Local Register
of the DXM Controller.
Configure the IO-Link ports in the XML according to the modules selected for each port
