Communication via PROFINET IO and Ethernet
You can either integrate the converter in a PROFINET network or communicate with the
converter via Ethernet.

The converter supports the following functions:
● RT
● IRT: The converter forwards the clock synchronism, but does not support clock
synchronism.
● MRP: Media redundancy, impulsed with 200 ms. Precondition: Ring topology
With MRP, you get an uninterrupted switchover if you set the failure monitoring time to a
value > 200 ms.
● MRPD: Media redundancy, bumpless. Precondition: IRT and the ring topology created in
the control
● Diagnostic alarms in accordance with the error classes specified in the PROFIdrive profile.
● Device replacement without removable data storage medium: The replacement converter
is assigned the device name from the IO controller, not from its memory card or from the
programming device.
● Shared Device for converters that support PROFIsafe.
