Profinet Io And Profinet Cba - Siemens Simatic S7-300 CPU 31xC Series Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

PROFINET device with proxy functionality = Substitute
The PROFINET device with proxy functionality is the substitute for a PROFIBUS device on
Ethernet. The proxy functionality allows a PROFIBUS device to communicate not only with
its master but also with all nodes on PROFINET.
You can integrate existing PROFIBUS systems in PROFINET communication, for example
with the help of an IE/PB Link or a CPU 31x-2 PN/DP. The IE/PB Link then handles
communication over PROFINET as a substitute for the PROFIBUS components.
Currently, you can include DPV0 slaves in PROFINET in this way.

PROFINET IO and PROFINET CBA

What is PROFINET IO?
Within the framework of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept for the
implementation of modular, distributed applications.
PROFINET IO allows you to create automation solutions familiar from PROFIBUS.
PROFINET IO is implemented by the PROFINET standard for the programmable controllers
on the one hand, and on the other hand by the engineering tool STEP 7.
This means that you have the same application view in STEP 7 regardless of whether you
configure PROFINET devices or PROFIBUS devices. Programming your user program is
essentially the same for PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP if you use the expanded blocks
and system status lists for PROFINET IO.
