Industrial Ethernet [OXM]

Industrial Ethernet protocols (e.g. Profinet) enable the communication between the sensor and
a PLC. In general, the following data can be transferred:
General control and status data (measuring rate, time stamp, status of outputs, etc.)
n
Result data (parametrisation of the result data via the web interface)
n
Parameter setups (pre-set parametrisation)
n
The protocol is defined by the respective Industrial Ethernet specification. You can select the
protocol on the sensor and make the relevant settings via the web interface (see
uration mode
Cyclic/acyclic data
During data transfer, a distinction is made between cyclic data and acyclic data:
Cyclic data is exchanged periodically as connected measurement results between the
n
devices and the control (PLC). The desired time period is specified during configuration of
the control. The consistency of the data within a block can be verified via the associated
status data. For example, for valid measurement results it must be ensured that the sensor
is not in the parametrisation mode (parametrisation mode flag is not active).
Acyclic data is only transferred between the devices and the control when required and in
n
case of special events. An example of acyclic data transfer is the exchange of parametrisa-
tion and configuration data or diagnostic messages between the devices and the control
during ongoing operation or when establishing the connection.
In the following, the individual data elements are described, which can be exchanged in different
combinations in the shape of modules depending on the protocol used:
