Introduction

Topology of the PROFINET devices
The "Topology" website provides information on the topological configuration and status of
the PROFINET devices on your PROFINET IO system.
There are three tabs for the following views:
● Graphical view (target and actual topology)
● Tabular view (actual topology only)
● Status overview (excluding topological correlations)
The tabular view and status overview can be printed. Before printing, use the print preview of
your browser and, if necessary, correct the format.
Target topology
Display of the PROFINET devices and connections of a PROFINET IO system configured in
the topology view of STEP 7. The corresponding status of these devices is displayed.
The display includes neighboring PROFINET devices, provided their topological layout is
configured as well. The status is not displayed.
This view identifies the topological assignment of PROFINET devices that have failed, the
differences between the target and actual topology, and interchanged ports.
Note
The configured target topology is always displayed by default in the following scenarios:
 When the "Topology" website is called via the navigation bar
 When you change from the overview of PROFINET IO devices on the "Module
If a target topology was not configured, the actual topology is called by default.
Actual topology
Displays the actual topological layout of the "configured" PROFINET devices of a
PROFINET IO system and the directly adjacent, non-configured PROFINET devices (display
of the relations, provided these can be determined; but the status of these adjacent
PROFINET devices is not displayed).
