Configuring the PROFINET IRT (2.32) Interface

The primary network interface of the X-gateway must be configured with the configuration tool
used for the network it is connected to. The choice of configuration tool depends on the type of
network, the application, and the master used on the primary network.
Application notes describing how to configure primary network interfaces in Anybus X-gateway
CANopen with some of the most common tools can be found at www.anybus.com/support.
4.3.1 PROFINET Data Exchange
PROFINET is the open Industrial Ethernet standard for automation from PROFIBUS and PROFINET
International. The PROFINET IRT device provides PROFINET IO Isochronous Real Time
Communication.
PROFINET makes a clear distinction between fast cyclical data, IO Data, and acyclical data,
Record Data. PROFINET IO Data corresponds to what is generally referred to as I/O Data in
Anybus X-gateway CANopen. PROFINET Record Data is not supported.
PROFINET IO Data (I/O Data)
PROFINET IO Data is exchanged cyclically and is built up by I/O modules. The actual I/O
configuration is determined by the PROFINET IO Controller. The modules are mapped to the
Input and Output Buffers in the order of their slot number.
The first two bytes of the I/O data area are reserved for the Control Word and the Status Word,
which are used by the IO Controller to control and report status on the nodes on the secondary
CANopen network. The remainder is available for real-time data transfer using PDOs.
The amount of data exchanged as I/O data is specified when configuring the CANopen master
interface. The data arriving from the CANopen master is completely transparent. The
interpretation must be defined by the master on the primary network.
GSD File
All PROFINET devices are associated with an XML-based GSD file. This file contains information
about the basic capabilities and configuration options of the device.
The latest version of the GSD file for Anybus X-gateway CANopen can be downloaded from
www.anybus.com/support.

The secondary network interface should always be configured first. The gateway must
then be power cycled before configuring the primary network interface.
