Only few steps are required to integrate an AUMA actuator into a Profinet
environment. At first, a standardised device description (GSDML file) is linked to the
DCS. The "device name assignment" for the actuator using the DCS system tools
is the next step. On the basis of the device name, the actuator is identified within the
Profinet system. The IP address is automatically assigned by the automation system.
Afterwards, the user can configure and parametrize the device via the programming
software of the DCS used. This information is then stored in the DCS (I/O controller)
and sent to the actuators (I/O devices) each time cyclic communication is started.
The process representation input and output bytes are used to control the actuator
and to supply the feedback signals. If a configuration with consistent data is selected,
certain controllers require special function blocks for controlling the Profinet I/O
devices.
An integrated AUMA web server additionally allows swift and easy performance of
connection tests, status requests and fault diagnostic by means of a web browser.
AUMA actuators with Profinet are certified by the PROFIBUS User Organisation
(PNO).
Each Profinet I/O device and each I/O controller has an individual identification
number. The Ident number is required for the I/O controller to identify the type of
device connected without signification protocol overhead. The controller compares
the Ident numbers of the connected I/O devices to the Ident number in the specified
configuration data. The process data transfer will only be started if the correct device
types with the correct device addresses were connected to the network. This ensures
a high security against configuration errors. The PNO manages the Ident numbers
together with the device master data (GSDML). AUMA actuators with actuator controls
AC 01.2 are logged in the PNO with the following identification numbers:
Ident no.: 0x0001, manufacturer ID 0x013F
For Profinet, the performance features of the devices are documented by the
manufacturer and made available to the users as device data sheet and a General
Station Description in XML format. Structure, contents and coding of the General
station description (GSDML) are standardised. They enable integration of any I/O
device into engineering tools of different manufacturers.
For AUMA actuators equipped with actuator controls, the following GSD file is
available:
GSD file GSDML-V2.32-AUMA-AC01-2-20160810.xml
Profinet I/O version 2.3.2
Manufacturer ID 0x013F = 319 = AUMA Riester GmbH & Co. KG
Device ID 0x0001 = 1 = AUMATIC AC 01.2 /ACExC 01.2
DAP: 0x80010000
GSD or GSDML files can be downloaded from our website: www.auma.com.
device name assignment
The device name is assigned to the device during device name assignment. The
acyclic communication is IP based and allows the use of known IT mechanisms via
protocols such as UDP or TCP/IP, while cyclic Profinet real-time data as well as
event-based alarms are exclusively based on the most widely used network
technology, Ethernet with MAC addressing and message prioritisation. The MAC
address is inseparably linked to the device and unique around the world. Using the
DCP protocol (Discovery) and the device name, the controller will identify the network
participants and will assign their IP addresses. As an alternative, the IP address may
also be assigned manually.
