Note
Only a single cycle clock source is permitted on a SIMOTION device. For this reason:
If a SIMOTION device contains a PROFINET IO interface, a PROFIBUS DP interface can
no longer be operated as an isochronous DP slave.
The following figure shows cycle clock generation in PROFINET IO:

Synchronization in PROFINET IO
If the PROFINET IO interface has been configured as a Sync-Slave, the SIMOTION device
must be synchronized with the higher-level bus cycle clock. The synchronization behavior
