Overview

Profinet BIM is an interface module which enables to access from the Simatic
infrastructure to
 process data
 configuration data and
 parameters
of TX-I/O modules.

Application

The purpose of Profinet BIM is to connect the two communication media, TX-I/O
and PROFINET-DP, and in this way to allow access to the DESIGO I/O modules
from a SIMATIC S7.
Within SIMATIC
 Profinet BIM is handled as a Profinet I/O device and
 TX-I/O modules are represented as Profinet I/O modules.
 In the Profinet infrastructure, Profinet BIM behaves as a PNIO device and
supports the datagram data exchange in the direction of the Profinet IO
controller (SIMATIC S7).
 On the island bus (communication bus of the TX-I/O modules) the Profinet BIM
operates as the island bus master. Consequently, it is responsible for the data
flow to and from the TX-I/O modules.
All data forwarded via the Profinet BIM is converted to the datagram format used
by SIMATIC S7.
Engineering of the Profinet BIM is carried out using standard Profinet I/O
engineering methods. The properties of the TX-I/O modules are saved in the
product-specific GSDML file. The GSDML file provides the basis for engineering
with the Profinet project engineering tool (e.g., Simatic Manager).
The Profinet BIM does not require engineering. It receives its parameters from the
Profinet I/O controller assigned to it (e.g., from the SIMATIC S7).
