14.7 PROFINET

®
PROFINET 12 is a data communication protocol for industrial automation and processes. PROFINET IO defines how
controllers (IO controllers) and peripheral devices (IO devices) exchange data in real time.
The image sensor, iVu BCR, supports PROFINET IO. The data communication protocol is TCP/IP; the data transmission
medium is copper wire; the PROFINET conformance class is CC-A.
Note: In this document, outputs from the iVu BCR device are referred to as "inputs" to the controller
(PLC). Outputs from the controller (PLC) are referred to as "inputs" to the iVu BCR device.

14.7.1 General Station Description (GSD) File

The General Station Description (GSD) file contains module information, such as:
• Configuration data
• Data information (pass count, inspection status, etc.)
• Diagnostics
Note: A single iVu Plus GSD file describes iVu Plus TG, iVu Plus BCR, and iVu Color models.

14.7.2 iVu BCR PROFINET IO Data Model

The PROFINET IO data model is based on the typical, expandable field device that has a backplane with slots. Modules and
submodules have different functionalities.
Modules are plugged into slots; submodules are plugged into subslots. In the PROFINET IO data model, Slot 0 Subslot 1 is
reserved for the Device Access Point (DAP) or network interface.
Both modules and submodules are used to control the type and volume of data that is sent to the controller (PLC).
• A submodule is typically designated as input type, output type, or combined input/output type
• An input submodule is used to send data to the controller (PLC)
• An output submodule is used to receive data from the controller (PLC)
• The combined input/output submodule simultaneously receives and sends data in both directions
Configuring the iVu BCR for a PROFINET IO Connection
The iVu BCR device and the controller (PLC) must be configured for PROFINET
1. Go to Main Menu > System > Communications > Industrial Ethernet > Connection.
Note: The default Industrial Ethernet Connection setting is Disabled.
2. Click PROFINET in the drop-down menu.
