Configuring flexible order of IO devices

The following section shows how you can create the conditions required to change the order
of IO devices in a PROFINET IO system.
This function is also supported with optional IO devices. For simplicity, a maximum
configuration without optional IO devices is shown below.
Concept
A typical application for a standard machine project consists of composing an entire plant
from a set of various plant units which only differ with respect to the different arrangement of
the units, e.g. in the case of transport systems. Each plant unit consists of a functional unit of
mechanics (rails or conveyor belts) and electrics (power supply, IO device with IO modules,
sensors, actuators, motors, PROFINET port for data exchange with central control ...).
The following figure shows how, simply by exchanging two rail segments, a new transport
system is created that is adapted with an upstream points to the local conditions.
Figure 5-87
From the automation viewpoint, no change in the project is required for the flexible
adjustment of the PROFINET configuration.
The order of the IO devices is determined by the port interconnection. For each IO device,
you define in the port properties the partner port and thus the neighboring device connected
at the respective local port. If the partner port is to be defined by the user program, the
option "Partner set by user program" is to be selected as partner port.
