PROFINET Asset Management

5 PROFINET Asset Management
5.1

Asset Management Record

With the asset management record functionality data about the assets available on a non
PROFINET network can be recorded and read out over a PROFINET network.
Together with the Identification & Maintenance data functionality an extensive registration of
devices and machines is possible, even in facilities where the devices are not installed in the
PROFINET environment.
Factory owners and system integrators can collect data about devices installed beyond the
Anybus gateway.
The recorded data can be used as basis for the design of easier maintenance and operation
processes, despite the increasing complexity of processes and associated machines.
5.2

Recording and Reading Data

An asset management file containing all the assets and their corresponding data on the non
PROFINET network is created and uploaded via an FTP server to the Gateway file system.
The asset management file can be transferred from a computer connected to a PROFINET
network.
Fig. 19 The Asset Management Default Mode
By using the superposed parameter channel mode it is also possible to transfer the asset
management file from a PLC connected to a non PROFINET network.
For further details about the superposed parameter channel mode, please refer to
